Kundalini is the
female principle Shakti, the conjoint of which is Shiva, the male principle.
Kundallini is in the shape of a Serpent, coiled three and half times and that
is the active energy in its dormant condition. Each human being has an Ardhanareeshwara
within himself. Just as positive and negatives within a magnet, they stay at
poles while on conjoining they are creative. Kundalini stay coiled within the
Moladhara which is situated at the base of spinal cord in the triangular bone
called Sacrum. Every religion scripture has mention about this Kundalini and
its awakening.
Kundalini has a triangular head and when aroused with
meditation and yoga, it puts its head up thus opening the Sushumna Nadi. Like a
serpent it now moves upwards through Sushumna Nadi towards Sahasrara chakra. It
ascends through the Bhu tattva in Mooladhara, Apa Tattwa in Swadhistana, Agni
Tattwa in Manipura, Vayu Tattwa in Anahata and Akasha tattwa in Vishuddi to
raise to the Ethereal levels of Agya Chakra and finally transcending the ethereal
levels it reaches the Sahashrara, which is also known to be the abode of Sadasiva.
Along the way Kundalini needs to break through or untie
three Granthis in the Sushumna Nadi. Granthis are psychic knots or blockages
and are mostly the major synapses.
Brahma Granthi is the first major block blocking the flow
from first chakra Muladhara upwards to others. This is related to bondage of
desires.
Vishnu Granthi, the second know blocks the movement of
Kundalini from the third chakra Manipura to the fourth chakra Anahata (near
heart). This knot is related to bondage of our actions.
Third and final knot is the Rudra Granthi. It blocks the
flow beyond the sixth chakra between the eyebrows, ajna/agya chakra, upwards
towards sahasrara. This is related to bondage of thoughts.
After coursing through Sushumna Nadi, Kundalini finally
reaches the crown of head where we have Sahasrara chakra. When the union
happens, we get to experience the Absolute. According to my Guru, “this is the
stage when you suddenly feel enlightened. This is the absolute height of
spiritual realization. And this realization and enlightenment comes in bursts. These
burst moments can be very peaceful and motivating too. You might get flash realization
about different aspects of divine knowledge. It’ll show you the truth of the
world and about you, and how it’s not the way it appears externally. It is the
stage where now you get motivated to continue on the path.”
