BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih : 936

[936] SusumnA : Who is susumnA the giver of Moksa

SusumnA is the eternal NAda. SusumnA NAdi is the middle [Royal] path

of awakened KundalinI from MUlAdhAra to SahasrAra cakras. All the six

cakras lie on this line. It is the yogic fact that within SusumnA lies

a NAdi, by name VajrA. It has rAjasic quality and is lustrous like the

sun. Again, within this Vajra NAdi is another NAdi called CitrA which

is of sAttvic nature and of pale colour. Within the Citra there is a

very fine and minute canal known as BrahmanAdi through which

KundalinI, when awakened, passes like the lightning to SahasrAra. Thus

the three qualities of sUrya, candra and agni [sun, moon and fire] are

the three aspects of Sabda Brahman, the eternal NAda.[a]

 

Brahma NAdi, CitrA and VajrA are called susumnA because they lie

within this NAdi. SusumnA passes through the spinal cord of a

vertebrate body. In fact this was called susumnA by the yogis of yore.

CitrA is like a fine thread of lotus and is brilliant with five

colours within susumnA. SusumnA is the giver of immortality [c].

SusumnA is the eternal AnAhata sound. She is Infinity rightly called

by the name SyAma, the beautiful beyond description.

This is the yogi's UnmanI AvasthA, the highest state of yoga. In the

words of the Upanisad : " Where there is nothing more to see, nothing

more to hear and nothing to know, that is BhUma, the highest.

Highest Bliss.
