CHAPTER ONE
THE DIVINE SERPENT POWER OF A UNIVERSAL NATION
These days there is such a rain of worldwide destructive danger which will be very difficult for human existence and the entire world to face. To the extent they are dire to that extent we need strong resources to overcome them. An elephant cannot die with a small pistol. In order to destroy a fort, a shower of arrows wont do, one has to use cannons. Vritrasura could be killed only by a thunderbolt. It was Chandis intense wrath that overcame the demon Mahisasura. Hanumans vigour helped him uproot a mountain. Dynamite is used to blast mountains. Seeing the situation it was necessary that there is a need of not only creative power but weapons like Brahmastra too are needed to overcome dire conditions.
If the demons of danger who are bent on destroying human civilization are nourished then the world will be destroyed. It has to be overcome. For that other type of weapons are needed. Hand bombs are needed to overcome terrible demons who create strife and bloodshed everywhere.
My life has been oriented along the lines of Gayatri. How much ever of my life span remains that too will be devoted to it. If I had found a Vivekanand, Shivaji or Chandragupta to fight against dire situations of today then I would never veer from my path. But despite strong efforts such a golden opportunity did not come my way. Yet I do not despair. No doubt there are spiritual powers in the world but they exist in subtle bodies. A grossly embodied individual is required for material efforts. In the epic Mahabharat 5 demigods manifested as the Pandavas. Some took the form of bears, monkeys and some appeared as Hanuman, Angad etc. For perceivable tasks material bodies are required. A long time lapsed by in trying to find them. If the entire storehouse of power is not there at least a part manifestation should be there. A workable arrangement can be made if it is found in a divine man. I have found Rishi centers in the form of Prajna family who manifest energy in its seed form. But being alone was futile. If it had not been given a proper sense of direction then that energy would have been involved in destructive activities. Hence only one option remained according to the direction given by the path giver that he himself come forward to generate and distribute this power and if the need arises change the path too.
Three years back this change was brought in. Lone Savitri worship was undergone. It is not easy to live alone after leading an active busy life. Savitri worship involves activation of the 5 sheaths of divine serpent power of the body (called Kundalini Shakti in Yogic scriptures). This is also called subtilization and 5 fold break up in Vedanta. That preceptor who guided me towards Gayatri worship himself gave me the method of Savitri worship so that through me other divine mens power can be awakened in order that they understand their true nature and through their soul power work for the welfare of all.
It is seen that the dangers are not light which can be overcome easily. This was not the play that was facile hence one had to make more intense efforts. Hence going one step forward from Savitri worship the divine power had to be activated for overcoming dire times. In other words this is Mahakali, Mahachandi or Mahadurga. It was found necessary that this power which was to be utilized properly by those people had to be given necessary information. In the past few days a lot of study, analysis and research of Divine Serpent Power (Kundalini Shakti) has taken place. With reference to this a strange description is given in old/new books and re-editing all this has led to the publication of books by many writers. In this type of copying a lot of rubbish has entered into this field.
Only one conclusion can be made after reading all the descriptions of Divine Serpent Power that this topic being alluring and full of a mysterious science, many have worked on it but none have tried to gain their own experience. Whatever they have written is just a prologue of Hatha Yoga which does not constitute even 1%of Divine Serpent Power activation. Very shrewdly such experimenters proclaim that their goal has been attained. Today let alone having books or teachings of authenticity there is no literature that gives a correct description of its basic precepts. I have humbly tried to put forth the true principles by first saving myself from all illusions regarding this.
My subtle preceptorial center which has been present for centuries has equally experienced the field of Gayatri, Savitri and Divine Serpent Power. They by looking upon me as a thoroughly examined coin have used me for the past 3 years for Savitri worship and activation of Divine Serpent Power of glorious India so that an almost forgotten but immensely potent science does not wither away to nought. Its chains have to be untied firmly so that in future they do not break up.
Gayatri is spiritual knowledge and pertains to the soul. Savitri is soul material. It comes under soul science but one can gain material benefits and ward off worldly dangers. Through both one can gain benefit for oneself and others too. But the potential of Divine Serpent Power is cosmic and can be used to join up that which is broken up. If there is Chandis wrath it can be utilized for correcting unholy activities. Hence it is called conqueror of demons. Whenever it has been used to overcome demons and their foul play it is used like a sword to slash things. It can be used to forcefully lead anarchaic elements on the right path. It is the science of mesmerism. It is predominantly used to draw the mind away. Mahakali mesmerized Shumbha-Nishumbha, Madhukaitaba and overcome them in a battle. She even killed Bhasmasura, Sund-Upsund and Mahisasura. Through Ram and Seeta she gained victory over Ravan and through Krishna-Balram she overcame Putana, Kansa, Jarasandha and other demonic powers. This is one aspect of Shakti (divine power).
When this very power is used for creative purposes then it becomes the cosmic creative power. In the Jnanarnava Tantra it is said ----- All worldly activities go on like a gigantic prelude through this power. Mahakals task of transformation too works through this power. The being is rotated around like a mud pot on a wheel and like a potter it makes many names and forms of various beings. In reality the Divine Serpent Power generates power in totality with reference to the world and individual with reference to a being. In a certain sense Divine Serpent Power is cosmic electricity which activates the fire of Yoga and makes an individual a powerful witness having vital force. In the Kathopanishad wherein one finds the Yama-Nachiketa dialogue there the same vital force is spoken of in Panchagni Science which takes one beyond diseases, sorrow and old age so as to attain liberation. When the nerve centers are activated power emerges and gives a momentary identity. But Divine Serpent Power is permanent and is a conscious power which after manifesting energy in an individual transforms him.
Where at a cosmic level, all pervasive level the process of activation of Divine Serpent Power is going on there one should understand that it will ward off that which is unwanted and manifest a bright future. But for such dangerous ventures there should be pious souls. When a gun is fired the gun moves backwards. Those who work with this great power should be endowed with so much zeal, might and valour that they are capable of enduring the regressing jerks at the time of attack. Else the experiments conducted for benefits can prove to be very destructive. Then this becomes merely a topic of conversation. Hence it is looked upon as a secret knowledge and never broadcasted openly. When there is dry logic and needless argument put forward, egoistic people start finding faults, under such circumstances the basis of worship which is faith starts faltering and hence even the most intense worship fails. Possibly keeping all these reasons in mind scriptural seers have stopped us from just talking about such subtle sciences. It is necessary that a preceptor after ascertaining the capability of a spiritual aspirant gives him an appropriate mode of worship. Not only the aspirants character but even his needs and circumstances have to be kept in mind. Only after correct examination can a patient and doctor benefit.
Because Savitri and Divine Serpent Power worship is difficult like walking on a razors edge people ignore it. None can become a good engineer, artist etc. without a proper teacher. Hence when one does not find true specialists of Divine Serpent Power studies how can one find students interested in it?
Divine Serpent Power activation is the igniting of bodily vital fire and the tradition so far has been for personal benefits. The sexual energy of the Mooladhar (genitals) is passed through the Merudand (spine) to converge in the Brahmarandhra (scalp) which has divine energy. Thus when Shiva-Shakti merge one gets divine powers (Sidhis). But at such times one has to be alert as feeding a snake. A snake charmer no doubt feeds his family via snake shows, shows off his art but yet he is playing a dangerous game. If a poisonous snake comes his way then even its hiss stops the show, peoples heartbeats stop and there is danger of death.
Snakes coil around the necks of Shiva-Shakti. Symbolically this is Divine Serpent Power (Kundalini). No doubt this is partly Hatha Yoga; all the energy got by passing through the 6 Chakras (Yogic Wheels) is not only used to overcome hardships but by joining with Savitri worship of a high order a new atmosphere is generated. Along with the transcendence of the 6 Yogic Chakras when the 5 sheaths too are activated then it becomes useful for many creative activities. In order to build a house there is need of bricks, plaster, iron, wood and the mason. To cook food one needs fuel, fire, vessels, raw food and a cook. Panchratna (5 jewels) are famous. The body is created by Panchratna and the energy with the 5 vital forces. This source of energy is another name for life force. If activation of vital fire, Divine Serpent Power activation, 5 sheath activation and Savitri work in unison then its influence is widespread. All the dire circumstances of the world have never been seen before. Dark clouds of atomic weapons, star wars, pollution of inner/ outer world, imbalance of nature, epidemics, terrorism etc. are looming large and hence it is necessary that this experiment be conducted on a large scale. No doubt there is pain in trying to gain victory over these problems but its results are so grand that it cannot be compared to anything.
In this section we are describing only those schemes as a result of divine inspiration which are useful for energy activation of the human community at large. There is a need for readers to go into its details. They only have to see its results and thus surmise as to what role they can play in it. Later too it will be made more clear as to how an individual not only progresses within himself but also how to inspire other on this path too. Also how to change this era and usher in a bright golden age. In conclusion this experiment has been conducted through the activation of the Divine Serpent Power of India.
CHAPTER TWO
THE SUPER DIVINE POWERS CALLED GAYATRI, SAVITRI AND KUNDALINI
The investigation of Kundalini (Divine Serpent Power) commences with the discussion of the philosophy of Gayatri Mahaprajna. Fundamentally Gayatri worship is an experiment of religious ideology and divine sentiments. In it self-research is given chief importance and by generating devotion through meditation/ concentration the Brahmic consciousness is brought closer and ones psyche gets interwoven in it. Whether you throw a lighted matchstick on a pile of wood or you throw burning wood on petrol, both actions are identical. The only difference is that via self-surrender, by undergoing Advait (union with God) one quickly sees miraculous results. Instead of total self-surrender even if there is some desire involved then no doubt the car will slow down yet it will ultimately give us benefits. Yet one fails to become capable of benefiting others in the world. A swimmer may himself swim yet he is incapable of helping others cross the river like a boatman. This is the difference between desire-based Gayatri worship and desireless Gayatri worship. Through both type of effort, spiritual aspirants succeed in their own way.
If we dive deep into the philosophy of Gayatri worship then we realize that our entire consciousness is influenced by the seed of knowledge of the brain. Its role is a major one with reference to bodily sustenance and social behaviour. In a very elevated status this center is the fount of extrasensory potential and it is over here that the blissful activity of uniting a creature with Brahman (God) i.e. attainment of the true human goal is achieved. Gayatris Brahmi-shakti (divine power) is also called Brahmarandhra, Brahmasansthan or Brahmaloka. The area that it influences is wisdom consciousness. In a symbolic manner Gayatri is also called Brahmani or the wife of Brahma. Its power can be seen as Brahmadand (punishment) that overcomes the wicked and destroys pain and poverty in the material world. In the spiritual field its form has taken the shape of Brahmavarchas.
Over and above Gayatri worship there is worship of Savitri. Savitri worship is very much the material aspect of Gayatri. Power evolves with the help of energy. The 5 elements, the 5 vital forces of our body work as fuel and with its aid the inner fire is activated. This fire activation is Savitri worship. Despite there being a difference in Savitri and Kundalini (Divine Serpent Power) worship they have equal stature.
According to Indian mythology Brahmaji had 2 wives. The first was Gayatri and the second was Savitri. Symbolically they are wisdom consciousness and material wealth. One is Para Prakriti and the other is Apara Prakriti. Para Prakriti encompasses mind, intellect, psyche, ego, Ritambhara Prajna etc. and all areas of knowledge. The second wife Savitri is Apara Prakriti, material consciousness and inert nature. All movements of matter are dependent on it. The revolution of molecules, influence of chemicals, electricity, heat, light, magnetism, ether etc. are under its jurisdiction. Material science by using all these apparatus comes out with infinite inventions so as to give us material comforts. This Apara Prakriti is Savitri. The Apara Prakriti of Savitri is responsible for the body functioning of all creatures and thus the world evolves. It is this power that directs Sattva, Rajas, Tamas, 5 elements, Tanmatras etc. Sidhis (divine powers) and boons are attained via this power of Savitri. Health, long life, might, enthusiasm, daring, beauty and other infinite special qualities are dependent on it. On the one hand it is widespread yet its main focal point is on the poles of earth and the Mooladhar Chakra of the human spine. While performing spiritual practices this is also called Kundalini Shakti (Divine Serpent Power). All goals are attained by activating this power. Thus we can generate energy. On analyzing scriptural injunctions we understand that at certain places Savitri and Kundalini are said to be synonymous and wherever they are thought to be different their spiritual practice and goal is also thought to be different. Yet one fact is eternal that the subtle creation of the body and the mode of awakening will always remain permanent. The difference ensues only when the reasons of usage of the power are varied.
Actually within Kundalini Yoga, Kriya Yoga is superior. All spiritual practices like Naadi Shodhan (nerve purification), Trinaadi Parimarjan (washing of the 3 nerves), Shatkarma Chakravedhan (traveling up the 6 chakras or plexuses), are such that along with meditation/concentration bodily exercises are also given importance. One has to imbibe the strange cycle of the vital force exercises in Pranayam. While activating the Kundalini power Bandha, Mudra, Aasan (posture) are given due importance. But in pure Savitri worship one is limited to the periphery of the head region. Sahasrar Kamal (1000-petalled lotus), Brahmarandhra(center on the inner scalp region), materials in the brain are activated. The Brahmarandhra looks after the inner brain area and the external area is looked after by the third eye called the Ajna Chakra. But when spiritual practices of both Savitri and Kundalini are combined then the method of both becomes an admixture and the results too change accordingly. The spiritual practice which we are about to present here is of this variety. Hence we have discussed stepwise the principles and use of Gayatri, Savitri and Kundalini (Divine Serpent Power).
Whenever in the scriptures Brahmas wife is described as one of these spiritual practices then know for sure that it has to be taken symbolically. How can the family of a conscious power be like that of human beings? If anyone so wishes he can give the 2 special characteristics of the element fire viz. heat and light as the name of these wives. If this is unpalatable then they can be called daughters. This is what is seen in the scriptures. At certain places Saraswati is called Brahmas consort and at other places his daughter. Hence instead of looking at it as a worldly fact it should be accepted in a symbolic manner. Soul power is Gayatri, material power is Savitri. The fruits of Gayatri worship involves advancement of soul consciousness, evolution of our character, working for great tasks, high thinking and endeavour for attaining liberation while yet living (Jeevanmukti). Whereas Savitri worship involves awakening of Kundalini (Divine Serpent Power) so as to overcome the latent, distorted state of vital force in the body via its activation. There are two streams of electricity i.e. positive and negative. Only when both unite is there a flow of energy. Only when Gayatri and Savitri conjoin can all the requirements of spiritual practices be realized. With Savitri worship one benefits not only materially but that with its merging with Gayatri worship ones soul power evolves. This is the primary form of Kundalini worship. If it is hazy in our psyche then all efforts in this direction are futile.
In the field of spirituality the path of wisdom is called the Dakshin Marg. It is also called Nigam Rajyog, Ved Marg etc. The path of action is called the Vaam Marg, Agam, Tantra, Hatha Yog etc. All obstacles in its way are destructive. As a result there is chaos and destruction. None are happy to hear or read about the fights between demi-gods and demons. In fact reading it really agitates us. But when both parties together churned the ocean, all the latent wealth of the ocean was attained by them. Everyone knows that as a result of churning of the ocean they got 14 jewels. In the same way when Gayatri and Savitri worship are carried out together it is said to be of the level of cooperation between the demi-gods and demons.
When Shiva married Parvati, their loneliness was warded off. Through their union 2 sons were born. One was Sidhivinayak Ganesh and the other was Kartikeya, the destroyer of demons. One establishes righteousness and the other destroys unrighteousness. Ganesh blesses us with a divine intellect and Kartikeya with power. Kartikeya has 6 faces. These are also called 6 Chakras (Plexuses). This Skand manifestation should be looked upon as the influence of the 6 Chakras related to Kundalini power (Divine Serpent Power).
Kundalini is nothing but the fire power dwelling in our genitals. Shiva in the form of Sahasrar Chakra (1000-petalled lotus at the top of our head) when activated results in the outpouring of pollen honey which is Shivas Retas(semen). The fire power of Kundalini imbibed it. Six Kritikas (Pleiades stars) ripened it. These 6 Kritikas are the 6 Chakras. Kartikeya with 6 faces nourished by the 6 Kritikas should be looked upon symbolically as the influential result of the 6 Chakras.
What exactly are these 6 Chakras? Where and why do they exist? In which state do they exist? What is its utility? We will not go into great detail of all these questions. The nature of its utility and scientific analysis will be detailed later. Here we are delving into that Kundalini which is for those people who through the medium of material endeavour wish to attain higher states of soul consciousness. Such people are worshippers of divine energy and think that energy is more important. In the battle between demi-gods and demons that energy attained by the demons was wasted by them in lowly activities and then by experimenting on Lord Vishnu or another higher soul power it was subjugated. When Shakti (energy) worship unites with divinity only then does it succeed. Such attainments are eternal and from the long term point of view it proves beneficial for all living beings. The initial success of the demons was witnessed by all was like the proverbial illusory mustard seed on the palm. Shukracharya was an expert of Kundalini science. It was he who taught this science to his demon disciples. Brihaspati has been the preceptor of the demi-gods. By asking Yogis, men of penance and knowers of Brahman to worship Gayatri he made them pious in character which was akin to that of demi-gods. He too taught them Kundalini science yet his only intention was to augment piousness. Those knowers of the soul who had materialistic problems to overcome were asked to follow Savitri worship over and above primary education. It was by taking recourse to Savitri worship that Dadhichi, Bhagirath, Lomharsh, Shringi, Vishwamitra etc. could solve material problems. No doubt the ultimate goal was spirituality yet the path, rites etc. of the spiritual practise was changed as per needs. Even the likes of Arjun, Hanuman etc. had to quieten wordly strifes. Even they had to follow Savitri-Kundalini worship which was a materialistic endeavour under the aegis of spiritual science. Even my own spiritual penance was for this very reason and because I walked on the right path I tasted success.
When Savitri and Kundalini worship are followed in unison then the results are miraculous. Electricity works wonders in one flash of a second. Even a dead body is burnt quickly on electronic pyres whereas rice, lentils etc. take a longer time to cook on wooden fire. This path is best suited for one who does not want a spiritual downfall and yet quickly attains his goal due to a pious character. Pure Kundalini worship comes under the flagship of Tantra and Vaam Marg. When Gayatri, Savitri and Kundalini are combined then this Yoga Marg is predominantly the Dakshin Marg.
Predominantly the Lord as Varah, Nrisinh, Parshuram etc. has had to face troubled circumstances. Shiva is called Shiva Bholey Baba (innocent God) or Aughaddani (easy to please) but he too created Veerbhadra out of ire against Daksha Prajapati and thus destroyed Dakshas arrogance. This is a very dire event and hence activities of calming and even killing are carried out.
Under specific circumstances incarnations of Goad and other highly advanced souls propel others to do this task so that their own power is not depleted. Vishwamitra was capable of protecting his own Yajna but in order that his own soul force does not get destroyed while manifesting anger he chose to ask the Kshatriya boys Ram and Lakshman to combat demons like Tadka, Subahu, Mareech etc. Vishwamitra taught Ram and Lakshman all skills of a true soldier and thus protected his Yajna with their help. Samarth Ramdas and Chanakya asked Shivaji and Chandragupt respectively to perform those tasks which could have been executed by themselves. The question here is that Brahman radiance is more valuable. This divine power should be protected for higher endeavours and not wasted in warding off strifes. Thus with the aid of a combined Savitri and Kundalini worship ones own and alien strifes can be overcome and within limits of aptness ones wealth power too can be augmented.
With the aid of the power generated by a man following the path of austerities one can change not only others but also churn the atmosphere so as to transform it for the better. This is a fact. Like other 2 divine powers it can be transmitted to others too. One can ask for divine power from one who has attained it from austerities and thus use it for a higher purpose. This is like taking interest from banks. Just as a wealthy man always donates a part of his wealth to the needy so too a Yogi gives apart of his divine power to apt people who in turn overcome trying worldly circumstances and thus establish world peace. In a family the breadwinner is one. Other members keep performing small tasks in the house but it is not necessary that they must earn their own wealth to take care of their requirements.
Awakening of Kundalini Shakti (Divine Serpent Power) is very complicated. It is like playing with lighting. As a result there are chances of losing ones life too. While activating Kundalini if there is lack of proper guidance or capacity then we have seen people turning mad too. Many were afflicted with palsy and many died too. If a person tries to learn car driving merely by reading books then definitely he will land in deep trouble. Even a person who has learnt car driving will be very careful while driving a car and thus help co-passengers reach their proper destination. Over and above gaining knowledge of Kundalini awakening, attainment of Ridhi-Sidhi etc. one should not become hasty and think this endeavour to be very easy to follow. One should never awaken the Kundalini without the help of a true spiritual guide, Guru or preceptor. One may think himself to be very industrious in jumping the queue and marching ahead but know for sure that such an act is full of danger.
The reason why a very cautious discussion is made on the combined spiritual worship of Gayatri, Savitri and Kundalini is that today people are very much attracted to it. Because its a secret science there is a veil covering it. It is apt and very necessary to understand the principle, nature and social aspect of Kundalini Science. Because when such sciences disappear an intelligent person attaining the rings of aphorism-directions will construct a chain according to his limited understanding. But if there is no clue at all then rejuvenating such a science is very complicated. Hence there is no problem in imbibing important aspects of this science. The problem lies in experimentation. If an arrow of words reverses and makes your own voice its target then the result is going to be death only.
By not accepting Kundalini worship as mere superficial rites one should understand that one should have proper credentials. There has to be a basic spiritual penance which has to be undergone and as far as its application is concerned, leave it in the hands of capable specialists.
CHAPTER THREE
LIGHTING UP THE FIRE OF VITAL FORCE THROUGH KUNDALINI WORSHIP
The activation and movement of Kundalini Shakti (Divine Serpent Power) is extremely difficult. Because the flow has to be obstructed. One feels carefree and joyous when there is no discipline. The tastebuds are in ecstasy when allowed to eat anything and everything. As a result of habit our tongue wants both tasty food and excess in quantity. The same holds true for our genitals. Lusty people keep touching mental highs and lows and they go to extremes in all their activities. A man of lust never gets mental satiation, his body tires fast, yet the mind keeps desiring more and more. The same holds true for all the sense organs. The mind is the eleventh sense organ. It has 3 tastebuds i.e. greed, attachment and the ego. The entire body is full of lethargy. Ordinary lives flow in this direction. Vile activities that are beastly and ghostly in nature drop downwards. Hence obstructing this fall is as difficult as building a strong dam. And more difficult is vaporizing the salty water of the ocean so as to make it potable. Very powerful technology is required to dig wells or oil wells so as to get water and oil respectively. Cranes are needed to pull and raise them. Also it is a gigantic task to maintain and repair these machines. A very qualified engineer is needed for proper maintenance of machines. Not only education but his alertness and dedication too are most required.
The control, activation and raising of Kundalini power is increasingly difficult in that order. Not only does one have to imbibe control of senses, mind, thoughts, wealth, time, etc. but one has to become steadfast in it like the reins of horses, chains of a wild elephant and noose of a camel. All this is done to stop it acting according to its own whims and fancies and that forcefully it is made use of for achieving desired goals. If one desires to stop a waterfall flowing downwards and instead change its flow in the upward direction a powerful pump is needed. This task cannot be fulfilled with an ordinary capability. It needs extraordinary power.
The evolved soul force of a spiritual aspirant who activates his vital force fire with self control can manifest divine powers (Sidhis) and utilize the same for required tasks. With reference to this some examples are noteworthy. Mahatma Jadbharat was an incarnation of King Bharat. He gave divine wisdom to the Sindhu King Rahugan while plying Rahugans palanquin. Once a Dasyu soldier caught him as a sacrificial offering. Jadbharat was made to stand in front of Mahakalis image so as to get his head chopped off. The priest who was to chop the head approached Jadbharat. But Jadbharat stood calmly. Due to his soul radiance the image of Bhadrakali was activated. She snatched the knife from the priests hand and killed all the wicked men. Ones soul force has intense, unlimited power. When the bodily electricity is awakened it works like a fire weapon and has the capacity to overcome all obstacles.
When Shivas wife Sati was insulted in her father Dakshas Yajna she activated her Yoga fire and burnt her own body to ashes. Even Sutikshnaji who was satiated by having Lord Rams vision gave up his body in the fire of Yoga. When Damayanti the wife of King Nala had to save her self respect she killed the lustful hunter with the fire of her eyes. All these are examples of activation of latent soul power.
Even ordinarily it is difficult to wake up those who are in deep sleep. When children, grownup adults etc. are forcefully woken up they get angry because they feel they are forced to give up the joy of sleeping. It is even more dangerous to wake up a sleeping snake. The nuclear power in an atom is latent. If it is attacked and broken such a terrible explosion takes place that one witnesses destruction miles around. Those who are unaware of atomic explosions are reminded of the Hiroshima-Nagasaki bomb explosion wherein lakhs of people died and huge mountains had melted due to the intense heat. How terrible are volcanos that erupt. Only a few years back was witnessed the explosion of Mexico and Columbia. The volcanic eruption of Helena converted day into night for more than a week. Its black dust had covered the skies for a long time. This is exactly the case with latent Kundalini awakening. Many elephants walked on the sleeping Kumbhakarnas chest so as to wake him up. The same holds true for Kundalini awakening. When it is latent (sleeping) daily routine works on and moves like a cart with damaged wheels. But when an engine is placed in a railway train and one presses the accelerator it helps all other carriages joined to it to march ahead speedily. Thus an aspirant of Kundalini worship too has to face dire situations when commencing spiritual practices. But later very miraculously the movement is not like normal air but is like a cyclonic wind. Its speed is that of typhoons and cyclones.
The Rishis say in Mahayoga Vijnana that----
The soul force Kundalini (Divine Serpent Power) like a female snake is sleeping on the Mooladhar Chakra (plexus) with twining of 3 and a 1/2 rounds. As long as Kundalini power is asleep a creature remains animalistic in nature. Even with a lot of endeavour a creature does not attain divine wisdom. If ones substratum force is asleep then the external world too is asleep. But when it awakens its fate and the entire world open up.
There is a lot of rise and fall when the vital force fire within us is lit up. When there are cyclonic winds operating they uproot, trees, homes etc. Dry leaves and mounds of dust rise miles up in the sky. Eddy currents in rivers capsize boats and such eddies in seas are known to overturn gigantic ships too. Special movements make the invisible visible. When a power generator bursts then the surrounding areas are shattered. When lighting touches any part of earth it burns that area to ashes.
While awakening the Kundalini one has to face such dire situations. Hence one not only needs daring but a lot of alertness. Lethargy has no place over here. Just as rope walkers in a circus maintain their balance, so too a person activating his Kundalini power has to be very cautious and should have high spiritual capability. If there is even an iota of indolence the dangers to be faced are dire and many. Flies and mosquitos lay countless eggs all day long. Even fish lay eggs in large numbers at one single shot but all of them are not worried about looking after their eggs. But as far as human embryos are concerned the mother is very careful not only during pregnancy but at the time of the birth of the baby too. And later the mother makes arrangements for the babys food, cleanliness and protects it from weather changes. Worldly activities can be compared to eggs laid by mosquitos, flies etc. but as far as Kundalini awakening is concerned it can only be compared to a human mothers pregnancy, birth of her baby and later upbringing of her child. It is not easy at all since there are a lot of problems she faces and thus she has to become very responsible. All this requires a lot of mental alertness. When there is a mistake there is fear of a downfall.
The method of a female scorpios procreation is very strange. In her womb many eggs are nourished and raised at one and the same time. W hen the eggs grow up a bit they wish to come out of the womb. The opening of the genital organ is so tiny that it is virtually impossible for the tiny eggs to come out of it. The eggs in the womb while growing up are full of hunger. Thus they start eating the mothers stomach itself and after consuming all her flesh the eggs come out. In the meantime the mother scorpio dies since her stomach has been ripped open by the eggs.
The procreation of Sidhis (divine powers) conjoined to Kundalini is exactly like this. Whenever Kundalini awakens scriptural scholars say that she drinks the blood of the spiritual aspirant and eats up his flesh. He becomes like a skeleton. This is one type of Kaya-Kalp(bodily transformation) in which the old dirt is thrown away and new seeds bloom forth. A shrewd gardener follows this technique. He trims the flower plant from all sides. Later new shoots sprout forth and flowers in large numbers grow on it. Thus the roundness and splendour of the plant augments. In Kundalini awakening a spiritual aspirant himself has to destroy all his vile psychic imprints, bad habits and other mental dirt. While trimming and cutting the plant it looks as though its size has diminished and that its body is depleted. But this state does not last for long. Because new shoots and flowers start sprouting on it. The gloom of autumn disappears and the beautiful flowers of spring are witnessed by one and all.
Awakening of the Kundalini (Divine Serpent Power) is like a fiery test. When gold is heated all the dross gets burnt to ashes. Nothing happens to the pure gold and in fact the more it is heated the more it shines brilliantly. The doubt of inethics vanishes and every customer makes proper valuation of pure gold. A spiritual aspirant who has himself awakened his Kundalini power becomes very powerful. No doubt the external shape of his body remains the same but within him such an electricity is awakened that it achieves mental awakening and changes the external environment.
Many tasks can be executed when fire is lit. With it muck, dirt and rotten stuff can be dried up. Food can be cooked. Pyres can be lit. Mud vessels can be heated by a potter while making mud vessels. Ores can be smelted. Thus fire can execute many chores. When within ones body, the Kundalini is awakened, the problem of feeling cold vanishes. With the help of fire, food is cooked which wards off our hunger. Wet and smelly clothes are dried up. These are individual benefits. In the external world too many benefits accrue. An ironsmith, potter, baker etc. light up their furnaces and make useful articles. With Kundalini awakening many worldly problems are solved and utility articles are made. Fire is used for worshipping God too. Fire is utilized in incense, lamps, Yajnas etc. By associating with divine powers one benefits a lot. Not only this, with the help of fire you can do welding. Whenever welding is carried out there is no danger of vessels breaking apart even if it breaks elsewhere. In divine meditation there is an ebb and flow of emotional waves. Sometimes devotional sentiments lead to the manifestation of very intense heat in the psyche.
Sometimes in the form of foam of milk or bubbles of water it settles at the base. But if Kundalini power is conjoined to it then steadiness is maintained.
Stored bad psychic imprints too overflow. Green grass dries up in hot summer and turns green again in monsoons. In the same way bad psychic imprints of a person which seem to have dried up under certain circumstances, bloom forth later again. Vishwamitra was a Rishi of great penance, yet he was attracted to Menaka, the heavenly damsel. He married her and begetted children. But if someones psychic imprints are burnt to ashes from the very roots itself there is no question of getting entangled in the material world. The state of Shukdev Paramhans was totally different from that of his father Vedavyas. Vedavyas agreed to the proposal of his elder brothers wives to sire their children whereas Shukdevji ran away to the forest as soon as he was born so as to meditate on God. Everyone including his father was against his going away thus and everyone tried to dissuade him from going to the forest. But Shukdevji was firm and refused to listen to anyone. To test him Indra sent the heavenly dancer Rambha but in a few words he sent her back. This is the true meaning of burning up of bad psychic imprints. If you cut the branches of a tree a new tree can emerge from it but if you remove the roots totally or burn them up a new tree can never emerge from it. Kundalini power burns up Sanchit (stored), Kriyamaan (future), Prarabhdha (present) actions to ashes. Here a ripe aspirant who is thoroughly heated up by the furnace of penance becomes firm as a brick.
Ayurved doctors make Rasa (juice) or Bhasma (ashes). They are made from sacrificial fires like Shataputi, Sahasraputi, Gajaputi. It is compared to Sanjeevani (medicine that brings dead souls back to life). This is a fire ritual. Kundalini is called Yoga of fire. This is like lighting up the fire of vital force Yajna. Here a baked aspirant is akin to the properties of juice, ashes and Sanjeevani. Thus an aspirant heated in the fire of Kundalini becomes extraordinary and his powers are rare and limitless.
If steam gets scattered everywhere it is of no use but if it is concentrated in a limited area then with its energy the train can run speedily for miles together. In a few minutes you can pressure cook your food. In the same way when the latent, scattered energy of your body is concentrated via Kundalini awakening we obtain material Sidhis and soul Ridhis and these many useful tasks even at the world level can be executed.
There is a mighty storehouse of electricity in the human body but it lies scattered. Hence one cannot see its might. But via Kundalini awakening when all this energy is gathered and focused at the Mooladhar Chakra (base of the spine) it is like concentrating material energy in a limited area. Thus the use of this energy is such that it can only amaze one and all.
An old female full of austerities lived in the forest. A mendicant came there. The old lady built a hut nearby and took the responsibility of feeding him. One night a female woodcutter having lost her way reached the hut of the mendicant and she begged for grace.
The mendicant thought she was begging for sexual intercourse and hence sent her away without food or shelter. The old lady seated under a tree was watching intently. She heard voices. She took the lady woodcutter with her and gave her food and shelter. At dawn the old woman showed the right path to the woodcutter. The old lady had heard the harsh words of the mendicant. She hence broke the hut that she had built for him. She refused to give him food and said : Here you lived for 24 years and only gained victory over your desires. Since you have not sown the seeds of compassion in your heart its a shame that you call yourself a mendicant.
CHAPTER FOUR
THE SECRET PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORSHIP METHOD OF SOUL SCIENCE
Within the peel of an onion is another peel. Within the second peel is a third one. In the same way if banana leaves are removed they come out one after another. The smallest unit of matter is an atom yet although the atom appears single it is not so in actuality. Because within it there is a nucleus and there are neutrons, protons and revolving electrons.
The solar system is a circumference but within its limits revolve 9 planets and 43 satellites around their axis. The atom too is like a solar system. Within it is activity akin to the solar system. If a pile of mud is attacked then a little bit of mud gets scattered but if the nucleus of an atom is attacked then the energy that it emits can bury one huge mountain.
So it is clear that the more gross substances are made subtle, the more powerful they become. There are millions of living cells in our body and the genes that are hidden in every cell have a prototype of one single creature. In this manner within a human body, like the cosmic world, millions of creatures dwell in it. Amongst them only one of them has a chance to enter the mothers womb during sexual union. Thus one embryo is formed and which starts the creation of its separate body and bodily energy. In 9 months the embryo matures and roams in the world after coming out of its mothers womb.
Within this newborn babe one finds bodily and mental qualities of its parents, grandparents and scores of ancestors. These special qualities in the form of Vibhutis (divine glories) are so subtle that despite the subtle-most disintegration of genes and the life vital force, one cannot understand contemporary circumstances. The situation manifests when the child grows up and gives us a clear introduction to its special qualities. This means that those special qualities known when the child grows up is not known in its immature state. By only analyzing the child we cannot know its ancestral nature. Only on its face and skin is there some perceived idea. Subtility for a long time is maintained in the immature stage and when it starts maturing it gives us an introduction of its state and existence.
There is such a big prelude of the subtle in the subtle that the example of the onion peel within an onion peel and the leaves of banana appear to be very ironic.
If a pile of seeds are gathered then a very minor difference is perceived as far as its colour, weight, form etc. is concerned but when the seeds are sown major differences are perceived right from the shoots, leaves, branches, flowers, fruits etc. There is an obvious difference between mature full grown trees. There is so much difference as far as the shape of flowers, its fragrance, the taste of fruits is concerned. Hence all these can be classified differently. This difference is extraordinary. Its differences are veiled in the seed stage and hence cannot be seen in that stage.
The ordinary shapes of the sheaths of the human body are virtually identical but within there are so many mysteries that one is amazed on getting corresponding information about them. The material scientist is researching into only the gross aspect of this analysis.
The anatomists to some extent have studied the eugenics of the different movements of bodily sheaths and how they carry out their different functions. On its basis they carry out medical investigations and surgery. And they also measure the potential and possibilities of the life force of a human being.
But one should deeply look into the fact that the human embryo is not made up of matter only. It is not merely an admixture of chemicals. Because one important aspect of it is consciousness is called human electricity. In spiritual parlance it is called Prana or vital force. By itself the vital force is one yet because it targets various organs it is named variedly. In the head it functions as faith, hope, habit, thought etc. Its management and analysis is made in the form of mind, intellect and psyche. This very principle in the organs of knowledge take the form of shape, taste, smell, touch and sound. In other organs of the body it works digestion, emission, bodily might etc. Through the genitals it tastes sexual passion and thus procreates. The fibres and tendons of every muscle has its own specific function and nature. Both power and wisdom are interwoven in it.
After knowing and understanding the inert and conscious form of the body one concludes that just as the entire tree is potentially found in the seed so too the entire cosmic principle i.e. the macro is inherent in the body i.e. the micro. We may be able to see only the present form of the cosmos and the body yet the past and future are firmly conjoined to it. The body is like a mirror. If we can fathom its subtle mysterious depth we can only be amazed on understanding and seeing that where, how and to what extent this cosmic pervasive matter and conscious principle is conjoined to the human body.
In reality the small body of a human being is filled up with so many things that one can only say that in comparison to all divine powers put together he alone is most powerful. But the only problem is that this storehouse of divine energy is in a latent state. In order to experience these powers man needs to undergo intense austerities. If these penances are not carried out these powers will always remain latent and this he will be incapable of carrying out any higher activity apart from those carried out by beasts. Hence in order to excel spiritually one should follow the path of spiritual penance.
On subtly analyzing bodily sciences one finds all divine glories embedded in every human being. By activating these divine potentialities one can obtain divine powers (Sidhis). In the subtle body the 6 Chakras are well-known. They are 1) Mooladhar 2) Svadhishthan 3) Manipur 4)Anahat 5) Vishudhi 6) Ajna. All these are within our body but at a subtle level. Over here the head region is overlooked. Within the scalp is the Sahasrar (1000-petalled lotus) Kamal. If you add this then there are 7 Chakras. Thus you are introduced to the grandeur, i.e. 7 pilgrim spots for pious endeavour in the subtle world. The only requirement is the activation of these subtle Chakras. When the embryo is nourished in the mothers womb it grows up as a baby and is born later. If a seed is locked up in a room it will not sprout. Only when it is given water, sun, fertile ground will it grow into a tree that first bears flowers and then luscious fruits.
The Merudand (spinal cord) is called the royal pathway. It is also called the Devyaan Marg that takes us to heaven from earth. Within this journey are 7 Lokas (Worlds). The 7 Lokas in between God and the individual soul are spots of rest. To cover large number of miles during ones journey, rest is a must. Hence on the way there are rest-houses. A train stops at many stations on the way to get coal, water etc. These resting spots of the bodily energy are the 6 Chakras. The Chakras are depicted in 2 ways, one as obstructions and the other as benefactors. In the Mahabharat is the story of a Chakravyuh (an array of soldiers in a square or a circle). Abhimanyu was trapped in it. Because he did not know how to come out of it he died. In a Chakravyuh there are 7 ramparts of a fort. Symbolically this incident can be taken as an individual soul being trapped in the 7 Chakras of the body. The Chakras are also said to be the 4 walls of the palace in the form of material attachments, delusions and distortions. Hence a method is given so as to overcome it. There is a story in the Bhagwat Mahatmya of Dhundhukaris ghost tearing the 7 knots of a bamboo within 7 days so as to become a divinely embodied being. Symbolically this is the journey from one Chakra to the next one.
In spiritual practices the individual has no power of his own. The only special thing is that he is working hard to awaken his latent divine powers. Here ones own energy is very little and if the austerities are very ordinary it cannot achieve much. An animal instructor of a circus takes only those animals in his troupe whom he thinks are shrewd. All spiritual practices are artistic. It flowers on the foundation stone of devotional sensitivity. Hence a man entering the path of spirituality has to master the viewpoint of his devotional emotions. Also he has to purify his thinking and character. This is the primary condition which must be fulfilled.
Which spiritual practise should be carried out for what time span? The answer is not the same for everyone. Because it depends on each individuals mental state. If the personality of any individual overflows with soul force he very quickly, without much effort attains great spiritual benefits. But those pious actions that give all these activities tend to be used up too. This divine power is used fro raising the fallen ones, decreasing sorrow, saving those who are drowning and helping all to climb up the ladder of life. Instead of austerities ones pious deeds increase. Thus the balance is maintained and a Yogi / spiritual aspirant leads a pious Sattvic life. His attitude is heavenly and behaviour is like one who is spiritually liberated in this very life (Jeevan Mukti). The soul is realized as soul glory and continuously with the help of divine insight he beholds the Lord in every particle of the cosmos. This is the very state as a result of which a person is called best amongst men and thus becomes God himself.
But if ones thoughts and character are not pure, if there is vileness in it then if such a person obtains divine powers, he becomes demonic and arrogant. He carries out such vile actions that he can only be labeled a demon. If wealth, might, grandeur, power are not utilized properly it can lead to a persons downfall. When grapes deteriorate they are converted to wine. In the same way even if you attain divine powers and if the same is not utilized for pious activities then the only alternative remains is that it will be utilized for destructive purposes. If spirituality does not follow the Dakshin Marg (pious path) it will lead to ones downfall. Vile actioned Tantric Aghoris, Kapaliks etc. become demonic and execute vile actions like Maran (killing people with Mantra chanting), Mohan Vashikaran (conjuration) and Ucchatan (distracting a persons mind by incantation). Demons generally are the attacking types and kidnap innocent people. Examples of such demons are Vritrasur, Hiranyakashipu, Mahisasur, Kansa, Ravan etc. Their family members like Khar-Dooshan, Kumbhkaran, Meghnad, Hiranyaksha, Jarasandh, Raktabeej too behaved demonically. The demons harassed the demi-gods. They looted the wealth of the demi-gods and drank the blood of the Rishis. They only harassed their subjects and for a little bit of selfish gain they performed many vile actions.
There are 2 classes of demons. One class is unruly, attacking and of the terrorist type. The other class uses deception, cunningness, illusory black magic power etc. The attacking demons show off their daring and the black magic demons praise their art of deception. The attacking demons are looked down upon openly but the black magic demons are hidden behind the veil of facades. In fact the shrewd demons behave like saints externally. For eg. Kalnemi. Although he was a family member of Ravan he never attacked anybody externally. Instead he would induce the intellect of others via black magic to perform vile actions. Such people could not only fail to ward off a downfall but that they would drown deeper into the quagmire of lowly deeds.
One may gather divine powers but if it is not used for pious deeds then like Kalnemi one will carry out subtle demonic activities. In it there is no fear of being defamed due to terrorist activities and under the pretext of being saintly externally one escapes defamation for a certain span of time. Hence modern demonic behaviour in the field of Kundalini (Divine Serpent Power) is available in the bazaar under the trademark of Kalnemi and is sold as basketfuls within minutes.
True soul power can only be generated if one is on the sacred path of righteousness. In it lies the well-being of all individuals and thus the entire world. The true philosophy of soul science is that one carries out spiritual austerities but that whatever divine power manifests in the form of Sidhis must be used only for righteous purposes and world welfare.
Grossly one should understand that circumstances influence the state of our devotional sentiments. We are influenced by all that takes place in the external world. But the ideology of spiritual science has delved more deep into this and it says that the individual consciousness influences nearby and far off worldly situations. Man is the author of his own destiny, but the fact is this that in an advanced spiritual state he is the director of cosmic activities too. Regarding this it can definitely be understood that one can cast the equipments related to the inner and outer areas according to ones psyche. In a very advanced spiritual state such a person can even direct cosmic movements. This is called extrasensory power. This is the super mind state which is ordinarily present in all beings but in a latent inactive state. How can it be activated? How can it be empowered? And how can it be utilized for various tasks? This is called soul science. It is also called Brahmavidya. Kundalini practise is executed so as to activate our soul force.
In a forest near Lakshadweep dwelt 4 sages. For begging alms they crossed the ocean waters and gave spiritual discourses to the householders. One among the 4 sages was very shrewd. He had learnt how to walk on water by pasting his feet with some potent herbs. The other 3 sages swam in water but this shrewd sage would walk on it. People who saw the latter sage thought him to be a realized saint. Hence people would listen to his talks only and gave him costly presents.
Slowly the secret was divulged. The shrewd devotees insisted that they would wash the feet on the 4 sages with hot water. Thus the herbal paste on the so called great saint was wiped off. He did not know how to swim. Hence out of shame he left he group of sages and ran away. Facades never last long.
