as described in the Yoga-Kundalini Upanishad, for arousing Kundalini is simple

The Yoga-Kundalini Upanishad is the eighty-sixth among the 108

Upanishads. It forms part of

 

the Krishna Yajurveda. It deals with an exposition of Hatha and

Lambika Yogas. the

 

Yoga-Kundalini Upanishad is a very important work on Kundalini Yoga.

It begins with an analysis

 

of the nature of Chitta.

The three methods given in the Yoga-Kundalini Upanishad for the

control of Prana are: Mitahara,

 

Asana and Shakti-Chalana.

Shakti-Chalana is arousing the Kundalini and sending it to the crown

of the head.

 

Kundalini can be aroused by a twofold practice. Saraswati Chalana

and the restraint of Prana are

 

the two practices. The rousing of the Saraswati Nadi is Saraswati

Chalana.

 

The process, as described in the Yoga-Kundalini Upanishad, for

arousing Kundalini is simple.

 

When a person exhales, the Prana goes out 16 digits. In inhalation

it goes in only 12 digits, thus

 

losing 4. The Kundalini is aroused if one can inhale Prana for 16

digits. This is done by sitting in

 

Padmasana and when the Prana is flowing through the left nostril,

and lengthening inwards 4

 

digits more.

 

The Yoga-Kundalini Upanishad then proceeds to prescribe the practice

of the three Bandhas, for

 

the Yogic student. The process by which the downward tendency of the

Apana (breath) is forced

 

up by the spincter muscles of the anus, is called the Mulabandha. By

this Bandha the Apana is

 

raised up. It reaches the sphere of Agni or fire. Then the flame of

the Agni grows long, being

 

blown about by Vayu. In a heated state, Agni and Apana commingle

with the Prana. This Agni is

 

very fierce.

 

Through this fiery Agni, there arises in the body the fire that

awakens and arouses the

 

Kundalini, through its radiant heat. The aroused Kundalini makes a

hissing noise, becomes erect

 

and enters the hole of Brahmanadi. The Yogins practise this

Mulabandha daily.

 

In this aim of arousing the Sarasvati Nadi and the Kundalini Shakti,

the other two Bandhas, viz.,

 

Uddiyana Bandha and the Jalandhara Bandha, also play the most

significant part
