______<br>KUNDALINI:<br>----------<br><br>KUNDALINI, the mysterious power has

been a subject of

research for many centuries. There are various definitions

of Kundalini. It is also said that It was Guru

Matsyendra Nath (of Nath-Sect) who first got<br>the tantra

of Kundalini from Shiva and introduced human beings

to kundalini. Now let us see what different

explanations we can have abt kundalini :<br><br>Dr. Rele has

in his book"The mysterious Kundalini" written

--…Kundalni is in fact Right Vagus Nerve because the

description of Vagus and its connections with the important

plexeses of the sympathetic runs parrallel with the

description of Kundalini and her connection with

Chakras"<br><br>Mr. A.Arthur in his book "The serpent power" has

written Kundalini is the Static Shakti. It is the

individual bodily representation of the great cosmic

power(shakti) which creates and sustains the

universe"<br><br>Sir John W. stated "Shortly stated Energy polarises

itself into two forms namely static or Potential and

dynamic and it is called Kundalini"<br><br>Swami

Vivekananada writes " The centre where all resident sensations

are, as it was stored up is called Muladhara chakra

and the coiled up energy of action is kundalini,

meaning the coiled up"<br><br>Sant Gyaneshwar explained "

Kundalini is like a serpent of Red-orange color and it is

having 3 and half coils and sleeps in Muladhara by

keeping its tail into mouth"<br><br>Hathhyoga Pradeepika

explains "…Kandodharva kundalinishakti supta miokkshaya

yoginaam…bandhaya cha mudhanaam….etc" means those who awaken

kundalini and take it up, get Moksha and those who do not ,

are dragged into circles of life and death again and

again"<br><br>Roscicruicion society also believes that Kundalini is a secret

power in us and is situated near heart.<br><br>Siva

Samhita explains " treya loke yaani bhootani taani

sarvana dehata…etc means the body of man is a small

reflection of the univeerse and all the powers which are

operative in the universe are working the human body

too.<br><br>Jyotish Sastra also accept that all the sun-sign in the

universe are situated in human body too (thus equating our

body with universe).<br><br>some also think that

Kundalini is not a real sleeping power but when by

Pranayama we mate the Apana prana with Samana prana a great

light and force is achieved, which is called

kundalini.<br><br>Based on different explanations we can come to a

general acceptable idea about kundalin. So far we find

that Kundalini is a sleeping power in us, which when

awakens removes the ignorance and gives us siddhis and

finally Moksha. This Kundalini if not awakened takes us

from one life to the other. Kundalini is the main

cause of our Ignorance (Avidya) and it can be made

cause of our Gyan and

Moksha.<br><br>
