In the above picture, the two snakes represent DNA. They also represent Ida and Pingala nerves or nerve channels which are connected to our left and right nostrils through which we breathe in and breathe out. The middle staff/rod is the Sushumna. The head of the staff is Sahasrara and the wings represent freedom/liberation.
Kundalini awakening leads to Liberation, Freedom, Self-realization, Brahmajnana, Yoga, Nirvana, Kaivalya, Enlightenment, etc., which all mean the same.
Kundalini is responsible for EVERYTHING. Life, living, freedom and enlightenment.
Indian Yogis and Seers called the Super Power that lies in us as Kundalini. You can call it by any name. People have millions of names, but all are human beings. Water is called by many names in many languages. Thus, the important thing to know is there is a super mechanism in us. Nomenclature does not matter.
There is no real snake residing in you. These are nerves or nerve channels in the shape of snakes. Kundalini is a vortex like in this picture below.
The
ancient Indian Yogis and Seers found out that Ritam/Sanatana Dharma (The Great
Cosmic Principle/The Eternal Laws of Nature) is the same everywhere. It is the
effect of the Supreme Sound/Vibration which vibrates throughout the cosmos. Due
to the variation in frequencies of this vibration/sound, there is variety in
the cosmos.

The ancient Indian Seers and Yogis found that a a higher power is responsible for our breathing during waking, sleeping, and deep sleep states--we do not put any effort to breathe while sleeping. They called this power that resides in all of us which is not only responsible for our breathing but also which gives us spiritual experiences as Kundalini, the coiled up power. Even the galaxy looks as though it is coiled up. "Whatever is in you is in the entire cosmos." Kundalini is a vortex, the miniature galaxy residing in you.
Kundalini
knows how to breathe when you are sleeping, relaxing, running, walking, etc.
Kundalini is ever-active. Men can always see the effect of
Kundalini--the groin changes position, as if there is some breathing activity
happening. They cannot do anything about it, nobody can stop it. Similarly, for
women, it will be happening internally. This is the vital activity,
without which a person is dead.
Kundalini has 2 phases, sleeping and waking/clockwise and anticlockwise. Sleeping/clockwise means when Kundalini is not spiritually active. Waking/anticlockwise means when Kundalini is spiritually active. Spiritually means SPIRITually. When it moves anticlockwise, you come face-to-face with your original/real/spiritual Self.
When Kundalini is sleeping or looking down:
Kundalini
is physically active and spiritually inactive or asleep. Kundalini breathes
through Ida and Pingala. We have control over our body when Kundalini is
sleeping.
We can regulate our breathing, do
pranayama, and breathe the way we want. We are interested in all kinds of
worldly activities that give us pleasures, especially the triple desires of
kaama-kaanchana-keerti (sex, wealth, name and fame). We will be doing all other
sorts of body-mind-ego activities, with being fully conscious of our body and
mind. We will have complete knowledge of our surroundings.
When Kundalini awakens or looks upward:
Kundalini
is spiritually active. “Prana (Vital Breath/Energy) enters Sushumna” can also
mean Kundalini breathing though Sushumna in addition to Ida and Pingala. When
Kundalini wakens, it starts regulating breath in its own
way—pranayama—this is original pranayama. We cannot regulate our
breathing, do pranayama, or do other physical activities during this time. We
have no control over our body. It would seem as if somebody is
breathing for us or we cannot control our breathing. It feels like as if
somebody has taken possession of our body and forcing us to perform
Pranayama or other bodily activities such as jerks, body shakes, twisting of
the body, gesturing through fingers and hand, tongue, eyes, etc.
When Kundalini awakens, it feels as if someone has taken possession of your body!
Kundalini Myth Versus Truth
Myth: I
can feel Kundalini moving/swirling/twirling in my mooladhara
(perineum) when I am walking or awake.
Truth: That
is not Kundalini, it is air trapped in mooladhara due to meditating or
concentrating on mooladhara.
This can
happen in any Chakra location or any part of your body, physical heart, in
between your eyebrow, etc. That is the reason never ever meditate/concentrate
on any chakra location, physical heart, brain, etc.
Myth: Pranayama leads to Kundalini Awakening.
Truth: It
is the other way around. When Kundalini awakens, Pranayama happens. You cannot
awaken Kundalini with Pranayama.
This is how our ancient Yogis and Seers found out Pranayama, Asanas, Mudras, Bandhas, and Kriyas. Fake modern pranayamas do not happen during Kundalini awakening. Only the ancient Yogic pranayamas happen. There are some pranayamas where a person tries to send his vital breath up the sahasrara/brain. This is dangerous. This is the reason why no enlightened guru ever taught Kriya/Pranayama for Kundalini awakening or Self-realization. They knew that these are not the causes but are the effects of Kundalini awakening, and except for Kundalini itself, no one can perform them accurately.
Myth: If I practice prolonged breathlessness (kumbhaka), I can awaken my Kundalini.
Truth: When
Kundalini awakens, you can become breathless. This is called Swabhavika
Kumbhaka (natural/spontaneous/involuntary breathlessness). While
practicing Kumbhaka for awakening Kundalini, if your breath gets locked and you
are unable to breathe, then you will say goodbye to the world.
Myth: With Kriyas, I can awaken my Kundalini.
Truth: When
Kundalini awakens, Kriyas happen.
Myth: Practicing Mudras, like Kechri, I can awaken my Kundalini and move Prana up the Sahasrara and drink Amrit (nectar).
Truth: Mudras
happen when Kundalini awakens. Drinking nectar is not Amrit. Amrit or Amrut
means deathless. Your spiritual body is deathless and immortal.
Myth: I
can fly with my physical body, when Kundalini is awake.
Truth: Only
the spiritual body can fly when Kundalini gets awakened.
Myth: My
pineal gland gets activated and I get enlightenment when Kundalini awakens.
Myth: Kundalini
can be awakened through sexual intercourse, Tantric sex, sex without
ejaculation, heating up your mooladhara.
Truth: Just before Prana enters Sushumna, the sexual
organ withdraws as a tortoise withdraws its head. This is anticlockwise motion
of Kundalini. There will be a cold sensation in your perineum and groin area,
as a result of which your sexual organ retracts/contracts. Nobody can have sex
in this condition.
With sexual activities, nerves become weak, and Kundalini will never awaken in a body with weak nerves. This is the reason why Yogasana is prescribed--to make your body and nerves strong.
Myth: There are many Kundalini symptoms, Kundalini
ascension symptoms, and other Kundalini awakening side effects.
Truth: There is nothing called Kundalini symptoms,
ascension symptoms or side effects.
These are all the side effects of wrong meditation techniques.
People harm themselves physically and mentally by practicing unnatural
meditation techniques, damage their body irreparably, and end up blaming
Kundalini. Without Kundalini, nobody can live.
Myth: Kundalini experiences are subjective.
Truth: They are not. Everybody will have similar
experiences. There will be a little difference as far as visions and some
revelations are concerned, but the rest are the same. The difference
in vision/revelations is due to Re-Living and Relieving of Vasanas and
Samskaras.
Spirituality and meditation are not subjective concepts. It
is just that people are ignorant because of lack of direct experiential
knowledge. Many people do not believe that they have a supernormal principle in
them or that they have a higher nature of existence. People just will not have
meditation experiences because of their low level of spiritual evolution.
Deeply interested in fulfilling physical, mental, and ego desires or relishing
worldly pleasures with enthusiasm at the cost of morality and human character
is the characteristic of a lowest of low person. The more one is disinterested
in such activities, the more evolved he/she is spiritually.
Myth: Books and websites teach the right things about Kundalini.
Truth: Too much theory and nil practicals. In books
and websites, you will find that there are N number of naadis explained which
may be physical naadis. The main spiritual Naadi is Sushumna. It is only when
you start experiencing Prana flowing in Sushumna would you know the truth about
books, websites, and other sources of Kundalini misinformation. People would
have used different names like Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati for Ida, Pingala, and
Sushumna, etc. People have been breathing all their lives with Ida and Pingala,
do they ever become aware of the route of these nerves from nose up to mooladhara?
Meditate on silence and do not bother about theoretical information about
Kundalini.
Myth: I see snakes around all the time, in meditation as well as when I am not meditating--that is I see Kundalini everywhere.
Kundalini is your spiritual power.
It has no relation to snakes. The two intertwined snakes represent the two
strands of your DNA and Ida and Pingala. When Kundalini shakes in mooladhara,
it seem as if a snake is crawling under your seat. This happens
during Kundalini awakening and you jump from your seat. On the other hand, if
there is a sensation in your mooladhara always, even when you are not
meditating, then you should know that air is trapped there due to meditating on
mooladhara. In some cases, people develop a hernia.
Sushumna channel is like a straight Danda (stick/staff), and Ida and Pingala Naadis are like the intertwined snakes in the above picture which are connected to the Sushumna at the bottom. The snakes in reality represent DNA. Our spiritual body has no use of Ida and Pingala. By the way, Ida and Pingala as snakes are binding Sushumna, to signify bondage of our spirit/spiritual body/mind/consciousness. Snakes signify sexual desire, worldly desire. They are binding our spiritual body from freeing itself and soaring high to merge in the cosmic consciousness. This is called Bandha (bondage).
Myth: By
imagining that my Kundalini is moving up the spine, I can awaken my Kundalini.
Truth: Do
not practice any imagination techniques, you will start hallucinating. If you
are concentrating on your spine, then surely you will damage your spine also.
People with
weak bodies, worn out nerves, weak minds, who have indulged in a lot of
sexual activities, who imagine too much, who are hypochondriacs, who are too
intelligent and think they can have Self-realization through intellectual
activities, etc., will start hallucinating. This is the reason why celibacy is
important. Celibacy strengthens our nervous system, makes our body strong, and
gives mental strength, all of which make us strong enough to withstand the
surge of spiritual currents that will be passed when Kundalini awakens.
Kundalini is a
great benefactor! It knows when a person is ready for the awakening. It knows
that people would go out of their mind or would damage their bodies if their
bodies and minds are not fit for the awakening. This is the reason why
only 1 in a million will have a Kundalini experience in his/her lifetime.
Myth: Kundalini awakening can be done through Yoga, i.e., asanas, pranayama, kriyas and other bending, twisting, sitting, breathing exercises.
Truth: No.
All these will happen spontaneously/involuntarily/naturally (swabhavika
kriya/pranayama), when Kundalini awakens. You can practice yogasana to make
your body and nerves stronger. You can practice ancient yogic pranayama to get
relief from a particular medical condition or symptom that you are having.
NEVER practice pranayama or Kriya for Kundalini Awakening. It is dangerous.
Yoga means union or merger of the individual self/consciousness with the cosmic Self/Consciousness. It means Self-realization or enlightenment. Yoga is achieved through Dhyana or meditation, not through physical exercises (asana) or breathing exercises (pranayama).
When the mind
becomes still, the breath becomes equanimous, or a MOMENTARY swabhavika
kumbhaka (natural cessation of breath) is achieved, a higher power in you
awakens and merges in the cosmic power/reality/consciousness WITHOUT PHYSICAL
OR MENTAL TRAUMA. This is YOGA.
This is the
reason why all types of meditation and non-meditation practices should end in
SILENCE for the higher power to awaken in you.

Myth: People get enlightened without awakening Kundalini.
Truth: Impossible. The enlightened
people may not tell about Kundalini for various reasons, but without Kundalini
awakening, nobody can get enlightened. Kundalini is the reason for loosening
the knots of the heart, which leads to Self-realization.
Myth: You cannot awaken Kundalini without knowing what Kundalini is or without having a thorough knowledge about Kundalini. Nobody can awaken Kundalini without reading a lot of books on Kundalini and knowing the hundreds of naadis mentioned in those books.
Truth: Kundalini is just a name. I
had a Kundalini experience without having heard the word "Kundalini".

Myth: Kundalini Yoga is a type of Yoga or meditation technique.
Truth: Whatever type of Yoga
technique or meditation technique you are practicing, Kundalini (higher power
in you responsible for breathing and spiritual awakening) will awaken once you
Silence your mind and progress in deep meditation.
Myth: Kundalini can only be awakened through yogic activities.
Truth:
Kundalini will awaken once the mind becomes still or inactive during
meditation. When Kundalini awakens, all yogic activities happen on their own.
This is how our Yogis found out Kriyas. When swabhavika (natural, spontaneous,
involuntary) yogic activities like pranayama, asana changes, twisting of the
body, mudras, involuntary speech, kriyas, altered breathing, etc., happen without
your will, know for sure you had a Kundalini awakening.
Myth: There
are various types of Kundalini rising, in different naadis.
Truth: There
is only one type of Kundalini rising, through Sushumna.
Myth: I can activate my Chakras without Kundalini awakening.
Truth:
Kundalini awakening means Chakra activation.
Myth: My Heart
Chakra is displaced, do I take help from people who balance and heal Chakras?
Truth: Good
joke. If you know your Chakra has displaced, ask some doctor to perform an
operation and position it correctly. You can also ask the doctors for Chakra
transplantation if your Chakra is damaged. Deluded people spread delusions
about Chakras and Kundalini. A blind leading another blind. Those
who balance and heal Chakras will never have any spiritual experience in their
entire lives because of their bad karma of spreading delusions and making money
by fooling people. Chakras have nothing to do with your physical body.
Myth: I had a Kundalini awakening when my guru performed Shaktipat.
Truth: Lies.
Myth: I can awaken
my Kundalini with activity at will.
Truth: When
Kundalini awakens, you lose control of your body. You cannot do anything, not
even breathe on your own.
Myth: I can park my Kundalini in one Chakra and do other physical activities.
Truth: You
cannot do anything with the Chakras or when Kundalini is awake. When Kundalini
awakens, there will be an intense experience. When the experience is over,
Prana/Kundalini drops down/comes back to its original position so that you
can perform your worldly activities.
Myth: My Kundalini is disconnected from my mooladhara.
Myth: My heart/crown Chakra has opened and is not closing. I am having a lot of sensations there.
Truth: You are
joking/imagining. Chakras are not of the physical body. They are the spiritual
nerve centers of the spiritual body. As for sensations,
go through my posts if you want
your well being:
Myth: Kundalini
Awakening experiences and Vedanta/Upanishad/Jnaana Maargi's (followers of the
path of Knowledge) experiences about Consciousness/Reality are entirely
different.
Truth: Whatever
route, a higher power in you must awaken and give you spiritual experiences.
Those experiences should be similar to the ones that I have listed in my first
post about Kundalini and meditation experiences. If a Jnaana Maargi says they
are different, take him to be a BHRAMjnaani. Upanishads are nothing but a compilation
of the knowledge of Kundalini awakened people. Only through
Kundalini/spiritual experiences will you know the truth about Vedanta and
Upanishads.
Myth: The path of Vedanta is the best, just by reading and
understanding Vedanta/Upanishads/Upanishadic truth, people become enlightened.
Jnaana Yoga is the best of all.
Truth: You are living your delusions. Spirituality is not
an intellectual exercise. Vedanta is the compilation of the knowledge of
Kundalini awakened people. If you think you can get enlightened through
intellectually understanding Vedanta, then it is like reading Guinness Book of
World Records and thinking that you have set all the World Records.
Myth: Once Kundalini awakens, a person becomes
enlightened.
Myth: I had a Kundalini experience in which I experienced I
am this whole cosmos and now I am an enlightened guru.
Truth: Kundalini experiences give glimpse about higher
nature of our existence. Enlightenment happens when you have hundreds of
Kundalini awakenings and when all the knots of the heart are loosened, you will
surely know what enlightenment is. Yes of course you can become a BHRAMjnaani
Guru without even a single Kundalini experience like all the present-day gurus
of all the religions throughout the world.

Myth: An enlightened person's Kundalini is always awakened.
Truth: Do not go that far. Have at least one Kundalini
experience in this life first.
KUNDALINI BLOCKAGE, STUCK KUNDALINI, KUNDALINI SYMPTOMS, KUNDALINI PSYCHHOSIS:
If you have been sitting in a wrong position,
twisting yourself, and blocking Kundalini's ascension, it will just not ascend.
No harm done.
Due to concentration on a body part, first air
and then blood rushes to a particular area. If you continue concentrating on
that area, the minute blood vessels and nerves of that particular area are
damaged. THIS IS NOT KUNDALINI. Stop such meditation practices, and you will be
all right.
Due to meditation, the mind starts getting concentrated and can think deeply about anything day and night. During this time, if a person starts imagining, due to the depth of his/her imagination, every thought seems to play out in front of him/her. A person loses sleep due to imagination, and even if he/she sleeps, the mind will continue thinking about the object of imagination. This will get reflected in dreams. Gradually, with lack of good food, health, sleep, concentrated imagination will turn to hallucinations, which over a period of time will result in mental disorders, lunacy, psychosis, etc. In such cases, you need to stop practicing meditation and forget spirituality until you get alright. You need to stop being with spiritual persons and start being with worldly persons, involving yourself in worldly activities. Sleep of 8 hours is a MUST.
IN RARE CASES, YOU MAY HURT OR INJURE YOUR
SPINAL COLUMN DUE TO KUNDALINI SHAKING IN THE MOOLADHARA WITHOUT ASCENDING INTO
SUSHUMNA. This happens if you have been meditating in a twisted body posture or
position. In such cases, your physical nerves get damaged. This may also happen
when you go to sleep during meditation, the neck hangs down, and then suddenly
you wake up thrusting the neck up. This results in hurting the muscles of your
neck or back, the spinal column, or the vertebral discs. You need to stop
meditating until you recover from such injuries and feel alright.
KUNDALINI BLOCKAGE, STUCK KUNDALINI, KUNDALINI SYMPTOMS, KUNDALINI PSYCHHOSIS:
People talk of Kundalini getting STUCK in some part of their body.
It is NOT KUNDALINI. It is excessive air getting trapped/rupture of blood
vessels/nerve damage in that area.
This happens because:
You may have been concentrating on that area for long.
You may have suddenly twisted, turned, moved and hurt that area.
You may have been practicing breathing techniques, Pranayama,
Kiryas, Bandhas, or body postures to awaken Kundalini.
You may have been shaking or moving that area deliberately for
long, for ex., shaking the neck, blinking eyes, etc.
You may have been sleeping during meditation and suddenly wake up
jerking your body.
MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, you may have persisted in one body
posture/position for long despite experiencing PAIN, PRESSURE, HEAT, MOVEMENT,
OR OTHER SENSATIONS IN THAT BODY AREA.
KUNDALINI DOES NOT GET OBSTRUCTED IN SUSHUMNA. SUSHUMNA WILL NOT GET
OBSTRUCTED OR BLOCKED.
ONCE PRANA/KUNDALINI SHAKTI ENTERS SUSHUMNA, YOU CANNOT HAVE
COMPLETE CONTROL OVER YOUR BODY.
KUNDALINI IS A GREAT BENEFACTOR AND CANNOT HURT YOU.
PRANA OR ENERGY DURING KUNDALINI AWAKENING EITHER DROPS DOWN OR
GETS DISSIPATED THROUGHOUT YOUR SPIRITUAL BODY OR SET OF SPIRITUAL NERVES. NO
HARM DONE.
People start convulsing violently and drop to the ground (if they
have been standing) when kundalini awakens. After the intense kundalini
experience is over, they feel very light and relaxed. They will have the
injuries of a fall, like bruising or contusion or even a fracture but no
physical/mental disorders due to kundalini awakening.
DUE TO UNNATURAL BREATHING OR LOCKING OF BREATH, AIR GETS TRAPPED
IN A PARTICULAR BODY AREA, AND THAT IS CALLED AS KUNDALINI GETTING STUCK. IT IS
NOT THE KUNDALINI THAT IS STUCK. IT IS YOUR NORMAL PHYSICAL NERVES OR BLOOD
VESSELS GETTING DAMAGED DUE TO PRESSURE.
KUNDALINI PSYCHOSIS:
There exists nothing called "kundalini
psychosis." These are all imaginations or hallucinations of a
hypochondriac. These are real psychiatric hallucinations and mental disorders
due to weak mind, weak nervous system, lack of good sleep, lack of healthy food
and lifestyle, concentrated and magnified imaginations, or excessive mental activities.Due to meditation, the mind starts getting concentrated and can think deeply about anything day and night. During this time, if a person starts imagining, due to the depth of his/her imagination, every thought seems to play out in front of him/her. A person loses sleep due to imagination, and even if he/she sleeps, the mind will continue thinking about the object of imagination. This will get reflected in dreams. Gradually, with lack of good food, health, sleep, concentrated imagination will turn to hallucinations, which over a period of time will result in mental disorders, lunacy, psychosis, etc. In such cases, you need to stop practicing meditation and forget spirituality until you get alright. You need to stop being with spiritual persons and start being with worldly persons, involving yourself in worldly activities. Sleep of 8 hours is a MUST.
SOLUTION TO THE "STUCK" KUNDALINI: If you still think you have STUCK
Kundalini, my view is that if your Kundalini awakens but for once during this
STUCK period, then the obstruction will clear immediately. If Kundalini rise
caused blockage or obstruction, then this blockage or obstruction can be
released or freed through Kundalini rise itself. Therefore, you need to release
or free the stuck Kundalini the same way you blocked or obstructed it.
