Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 KUNDALINI `Kundalini' is derived from the Sanskrit verb `kund', which means `to burn', the verb `kunda', which means a bowl or a hole, and the noun `kundala', which means a coil, a spiral, or a ring. Out of all of these derivatives, the word `Kundalini' is developed giving creative femininity to `the Fire', the latent supreme source of a vast energy not only in human beings, but also in every atom of the universe. It is the life force. The mythological origins of the Kundalini or the Serpent Fire, that literally means the `life force' of Chakra Science, can be found in the creation myths of East Indian, Mayan, and Egyptian literature. The creation myth in the first century BC East Indian " Manava-dharma- sastra " states, " The visible universe in the beginning was nothing but darkness. The great, self-existing Power dispelled the darkness, and appeared in His entire splendor. He first produced the waters; and on them moved Narayana, the divine spirit. " Narayana is the Naga Serpent Dragon who embodies this divine essence known as Kundalini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
