kundalini

KUNDALINI:

The outgoing force of life energy at the base of the spine in the coccyx is called Kundalini. The kundalini serpent force runs down through a circular passage coiled like a snake into the nerves. Only by super-psycho –physical methods like kriya practice of awakening the muladhara one can possibly control the sex consciousness wholly by withdrawing this kundalini force and to flow toward the brain.

The kundalini passage is called the GATEWAY of the life force at the base of the spine. The kundalini gateway is responsible for flooding the life current from the soul region of the different senses of sight, touch, smell, taste, and hearing, including the earth bound physical, creative force of sex.

Sleeping Kundalini:

The life force flowing down from the medulla oblongata through the spinal centres and especially through the cpiled Kundalini gateway at the Muladhara is called ‘’sleeping kundalini’’ because it serves as the medium to establish ccommunication with and to draw the attention  of the ego to, the body senses, sex, and the material world.

At death the soul and life force pass at any time and at death through the Sushumna passages,  you lose consciousness but the advanced yogi can consciously go through this passage in the Muladhara region and produces a remarkable spiritual and physical sensation which is called Kundalini awakening.

Kriya Yoga:

Kriya means work.  Yoga means uniting. So the work of uniting Soul with Spirit is called Kriya Yoga.  

Kriya Yoga has been defined as penance (Patience), studying the sastras (Vedas and the Sastras) and Divine contemplation as per the Patanjali Yogasutras of Sadhana pad.

For doing the kriya yoga inculcation of purity (Saucha) and contentment (Santosha) are required. But it is the precepts and practices that were given to the humanity by Yogiraj Sri Sri Shyama charan Lahiri generally which was received by him from Mahavatar Babaji goes down by the name KRIYA YOGA.

 There are three mile stone events about Kriya yoga.

The first event was the meeting of  Lahiri Mahasaya in 1861 with Mahavatar Babaji at Ranikhet..  Shyamacharan’s office had mistakenly named him to proceed to Ranikhetnt with some construction work there for building a cantonment. There in Babaji’s Guha Lahirimahasaya received Kriyayoga initiation from none other than mahavatar Babaji.  Lahiri Mahasaya left his body in 1895.

The second event took place in 1894.  Priya nath karar was a widower and had a daughter.  He was initiated into Kriya yoga by Yogiraj Lahiri Mahasaya in 1883. Later Priya nath karar met surprisingly Mahavatar Babaji in Allahabad Kumbha mela in 1894.  He was addressed as Swamiji by Babaji and was asked to write a book bringing about the similarities between the basic teachings of the Hindu Scriptures and philosophies and the basic conceptions that could be found in the teachings of Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible. He took sanyas from Mohant of the bodh Gaya in 1902.  He is the author of Kaivalya Darsanam, the Holy Science.  

The third event was the one that took place between Swamy Sri Yukteswar and Mukundalal Ghosh at Varanasi in 1913.  Mukundalal gosh became Swamy Yogananda and the rest became a history.  So the three events that took place in 1861( Ranikhet), 1894(Allahabad),  & 1913 (Varanasi) within a span of 52 years lead to propagation & progress  of the great Kriya Yoga under unseen command of Mahavatar Babaji.
