Introduction To Kundalini Yoga   [ Top ]

Every yogic's main aim is achieve Kundalini power. This power is found by god Siva. From our research, we found god Siva was human in his past life who experiment lot of meditation systems. From his research he found Kudalini power which located in every humans & animals. Then he teach & use this power to all yogis, hermits & monks. Also he help to poor people from this ultimate power. Cause of his merit, now he became as powerful god. So in yoga Kundalini is power located in human body as serpent. Kundalini meant serpent. This power serpent sleep in our sacral region (region between sexual organs & urine system). Every animal or human combine with astral body, physical body & perceptions body. In astral body link with physical body via Nadhi. 

Yoga Nadhi means channels or tunnels which are carry life energies between astral body & physical body. There have more than 3,00,000 nadhi channels in astral body. Actually nadhi means vibrators, which creats astral body. Nadhi & life energies are carry on as vibrating waves. But mainly only three nadhis are very important to understand. Those are Susumna, Idha & Pingala. Here have short description about these nadhis. In our head there have hole called Brakma Randra which connect astral body with physical body via silver code. When this code is broken down, then we say die. When we die, our concinoses go via this hole. Also ghosts & devils come into our body via this hole. These nadhis are not what we learn in herbal medicine as in physical body. 

• Susunma nadhi is like fire flame, somewhat red color. Inside this nadhi there have another two nadhi called Chitra & Vajra. Vajra nadhi coloful like sun while inside it have Chitra nadhi which is white color. Whole Susunma nadhi is located alongs with spine. When Kundalini is emitted, it go on Chitra nadhi to hole of Brakma Randra. Then it again absorbed to whole body. This Chitra nadhi is white color but combine with five colors & it is called as main nadhi to link with gods. So Susunma nadhi also called as Brakma nadhi.
• Idha nadhi go along with right testes to right nostrils. In Mahayana buddhism it called as Nadhi of moon. This nadhi also pure white color.
• Pingala nadhi go along with left testes to left nostrils. In Mahayana buddhism it called as Nadhi of sun. pingala nadhi has color & shape like sun.
• In yoga have breathing system called Prana Yama which means, by controlling nadhi of Idha & pingala, we can fresh our life energy & life time. To Control nadhi we must control breathing in left & right nostrils.

In our astral body there have Cakras or lotus. Cakra means group of nadhis which located in particular place in astral body. These are main energy spheres. There have lot of sub energy spheres in our astral body. But mainly there have seven. Each cakra belongs to particular task for body health, body functions, higher powers in mind such as devine-eye, telepathy & ESP powers. Kundalini is hide on first cakra called Muladara. When we do meditations & merit works these kundalini is powered & little by little emitted to other six cakras. When it comes to final cakra called Sahassa, then it emitted from Brakma Randra hole. As same time again it absorbed by body then yogic attain Kundalini power. Then he can do marvelous things from his mind power. In yoga human being means packet or show piece of universal energies. Those powers are mainly : 

• Anima : Collapse own body as small as atoms or more small
• Mahima : Expand own body as large as tall & big mountain or more
• Laghima : Soft own body as wind & float in the sky
• Garima : Strong own body as weight as earth or more
• Prapththi : Touch or stay or go near to sun & moon
• Prakamayaa : Get own liked things as soon as mental wish

Here have some details of cakras :

Yoga Caktras are particular places in astral body which have large amount of nadhis. There have main seven cakras. When kundalini is emitted it combine all cakra together & then yogic attain ultimate power in universe. In kundalini yoga that human being consider as energy droplet among whole energy in universe. However there have more cakra than seven.

Meditation Of Breathing   [ Top ]

In Hindu yoga there have meditation called Prana Yama or controlling inhale & exhale. This is used to emit powers via Ida-Pingala nadhis & fire Muladara cakra. This heat up help to wake up kundalili power. However in Buddhist system we don't used Prana Yame but we uses meditation of breathing. This is called Anapanasathi. Also this is the all Buddha's meditation & silent way to achieve wisdom. Breathing meditation help to stop swaying state of mind & brings it into calm state. Also it reduces tension, stress, sadnesses, angry & tires. You may need good teacher to practice this meditation. You can do this meditation on yoga poses of Vadjrasana, Padmasana, Sukhasana &  Siddasana. Here we give full translates of Anapanasthi meditation from sutta pitakaya, the suttas called sathi pattanaa. Translates get from metta.lk web sites :

"And how does a monk remain focused on the body in & of itself?" 

 "There is the case where a monk -- having gone to the wilderness, to the shade of a tree, or to an empty building -- sits down folding his legs crosswise, holding his body erect and setting mindfulness to the fore [lit: the front of the chest]. Always mindful, he breathes in; mindful he breathes out. 

"Breathing in long, he discerns that he is breathing in long; or breathing out long, he discerns that he is breathing out long. Or breathing in short, he discerns that he is breathing in short; or breathing out short, he discerns that he is breathing out short. He trains himself to breathe in sensitive to the entire body and to breathe out sensitive to the entire body. He trains himself to breathe in calming bodily fabrication and to breathe out calming bodily fabrication. Just as a skilled turner or his apprentice, when making a long turn, discerns that he is making a long turn, or when making a short turn discerns that he is making a short turn; in the same way the monk, when breathing in long, discerns that he is breathing in long; or breathing out short, he discerns that he is breathing out short... He trains himself to breathe in calming bodily fabrication, and to breathe out calming bodily fabrication. 

"In this way he remains focused internally on the body in & of itself, or externally on the body in & of itself, or both internally & externally on the body in & of itself. Or he remains focused on the phenomenon of origination with regard to the body, on the phenomenon of passing away with regard to the body, or on the phenomenon of origination & passing away with regard to the body. Or his mindfulness that 'There is a body' is maintained to the extent of knowledge & remembrance. And he remains independent, unsustained by (not clinging to) anything in the world. This is how a monk remains focused on the body in & of itself."
