kundalini, chakras & the cosmic purpose of yoga

๐Ÿ“ฟ Unlocking Divine Energy Within


Welcome back, seekers of Sanatan wisdom!
After understanding yoga’s roots in the Bhagavad Gita, daily application, and its scientific and spiritual power, we now dive into the mystical realm of Yoga—its subtle energy systems, the awakening of Kundalini, and how Yoga is a cosmic process of divine evolution.


๐Ÿ”ฅ what is kundalini in sanatan dharma?

Kundalini (Sanskrit: เค•เฅเคฃเฅเคกเคฒเคฟเคจเฅ€) means “coiled serpent.”

It refers to the primordial energy lying dormant at the base of the spine (Mooladhara Chakra).

  • ๐Ÿง˜‍โ™€๏ธ When awakened, it rises through the chakras, unlocking spiritual consciousness.

  • ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ It is mentioned in ancient texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Shiva Samhita, and Tantra Shastras.

๐Ÿ“œ Kundalini is not imagination. It is the divine life-force (Shakti) waiting to unite with the Supreme Consciousness (Shiva).


๐ŸŒˆ the seven chakras (energy centers)

Yoga teaches that the body is more than physical—it has pranic (energy) layers. The seven major chakras are:

๐ŸŒ€ Chakra ๐Ÿ“ Location ๐Ÿ’ซ Qualities ๐Ÿง˜‍โ™€๏ธ Balanced Expression
1. Mooladhara Base of spine Stability, survival Security, groundedness
2. Swadhisthana Sacrum Creativity, sexuality Flow, emotional balance
3. Manipura Navel Power, will Confidence, focus
4. Anahata Heart Love, compassion Selfless love, empathy
5. Vishuddha Throat Communication Clear speech, truth
6. Ajna Between eyebrows Intuition Clarity, spiritual insight
7. Sahasrara Crown Pure consciousness Bliss, enlightenment

๐ŸŽฏ Yoga’s goal is not just flexibility—it’s the alignment of these chakras to awaken the divine potential.


๐Ÿ how kundalini awakens (and why it matters)

The awakening of Kundalini isn’t random. It is a conscious spiritual journey guided by:

  • ๐Ÿง˜‍โ™‚๏ธ Asana – Preparing the body

  • ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Pranayama – Purifying the breath

  • ๐Ÿ”ฅ Bandhas & Mudras – Containing and channeling energy

  • ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ Mantra & Dhyana – Focusing the mind

  • ๐Ÿ“ฟ Guru’s Grace – A key force in true awakening

โš ๏ธ Caution:

Awakening Kundalini without guidance can be dangerous.
That’s why ancient Gurus emphasized discipline (Tapas), humility (Shraddha), and purity (Shuddhi).


๐Ÿงฌ kundalini = shakti, yoga = union

In essence:

  • ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ Shakti (Kundalini) is energy

  • ๐Ÿ”ฑ Shiva is consciousness

  • ๐Ÿง˜‍โ™€๏ธ Yoga is the sacred union of these two

When Kundalini reaches the Sahasrara, the yogi experiences:

  • Infinite bliss

  • Non-dual awareness (Advaita)

  • Liberation (Moksha)

๐Ÿ“– “Yatra yatra mano yati tatra tatra samadhayah” – Wherever the mind goes, there is Samadhi (Shiva Samhita)


๐ŸŒŒ yoga’s cosmic purpose in sanatan dharma

In Sanatan Dharma, Yoga is not a trend—it is tapasya, a spiritual fire with a cosmic goal:

๐Ÿ’ซ 1. To break the cycle of birth & death

Yoga burns karma, awakens the Atman, and leads to Moksha.

๐Ÿ”ญ 2. To harmonize individual and cosmic rhythm

Each breath you take in Pranayama aligns you with Brahmanda (the universe).

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ 3. To know the Self as Brahman

Yoga destroys avidya (ignorance) and reveals the truth:

“Aham Brahmasmi” – I am the Absolute.


๐Ÿช” practical kundalini yoga steps (the safe way)

You don’t need to sit in a cave. Begin gently:

๐Ÿ”น Daily sadhana – Start with 15–30 mins
๐Ÿ”น Breathe consciously – Learn Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing)
๐Ÿ”น Chant OM – Vibrates through the chakras
๐Ÿ”น Read yogic texts – Especially Gita, Upanishads, and Yoga Sutras
๐Ÿ”น Surrender to the Divine – Let grace flow

๐Ÿ“ฟ And if ready, seek a Guru or mentor rooted in Sanatan Dharma traditions.


๐Ÿ›• yoga is your birthright – reclaim it

Remember: Yoga was gifted by Sanatan Rishis for your awakening, not as a commercial gym routine.

๐Ÿ™ Be proud of this divine heritage. Reconnect with it.

๐ŸŒบ Whether you chant, meditate, serve, or reflect—every act of true yoga brings you one step closer to your highest Self.


๐Ÿง˜‍โ™‚๏ธ in summary

โœ… Kundalini is your dormant divine power
โœ… Chakras are the inner map of spiritual evolution
โœ… Yoga awakens your soul’s true purpose
โœ… Modern Yoga without Dharma is like a temple without God
โœ… Reclaim your yogic path – slowly, wisely, and joyfully
