Introduction To Kundalini Yoga   [ Top ]

Every yogi’s main aim is achieving Kundalini power. This power is found by god Siva. From our research, we found god Siva was human in his past life who did experiment in meditation systems. From his research he found Kudalini power which located in every humans & animals. Then he taught this power to all yogis, hermits & monks. Also he helped 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 sleeps in our sacral region (region between sexual organs & urine system). Every animal or human are combined with astral body, physical body & perceptions body. Astral body links with physical body via Nadhi. 

Nadhi means channels or tunnels which are carrying life energies between astral body & physical body. There have more than 300,000 nadhi channels in astral body. Actually nadhi means vibrators, which creates astral body. Nadhi & life energies are carrying 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 Brahma 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 consciousness goes via this hole. Also ghosts & devils come into our body via this hole. These nadhis are not what we learn in herbal medicine as inside physical body. 

• Susunma nadhi is like fire flame, somewhat red color. Inside this nadhi there have another two nadhi called Chitra & Vajra. Vajra nadhi is colorful like sun while inside it has Chitra nadhi which is white color. Whole Susunma nadhi is located along with spine. When Kundalini is emitted, it goes on Chitra nadhi to hole of Brahma 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 for link with gods. So Susunma nadhi also called as Brahma 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 has breathing system called Pranayama which means, by controlling nadhi of Idha & pingala we can fresh our life energy & life time. To Control nadhi we must control breathing along left & right nostrils.

In our astral body there have Chakras or lotuses. Chakra means group of nadhis which located in particular place in astral body. These are mainly energy spheres. There have lot of sub energy spheres in our astral body. But primarily there have seven. Each chakra belongs to particular task of body health, body functions, ESP powers in mind such as divine-eye & telepathy. Kundalini is hiding on first chakra called Muladara. When we do meditations & merit works these kundalini is powered & little by little emitted to other six chakras. When it comes to final chakra called as Sahassa, it emitted from Brahma 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 small 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 huge mountain or more rate
• Laghima : Soft own body as wind & float in the sky
• Garima : Strong own body as weighty as earth or more
• Prapththi : Touch or stay or go near to sun & moon
• Prakamayaa : Get own liked things as soon as mentally wish
• Isathwa : Create anything from mind power even living thing such as nymphs
• Wasithwa : Control element of solids, liquids, air & fire

Here have some details of chakras :

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

Meditation Of Breathing   [ Top ]

In Hindu yoga there has meditation called Pranayama or controlling inhale & exhale. This is used to emit powers via Ida-Pingala nadhis & fire Muladara chakra. This will heat up help to wake up kundalili power. However in Buddhist system we don't used Pranayame but we uses meditation of breathing. This is called Anapanasathi Meditation. Also this is the all Buddha's meditation & silent way to achieving wisdom. Breathing meditation helps to stop swaying state of mind & brings it into calm state. Also it reduces tension, stress, sadness, 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 Sutra Pitakaya, the sutras called Sathi Pattana. Translates get from metta.lk Buddhist 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."
