kundalini, chakras & the cosmic purpose of yoga

๐ฟ 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.
๐ฅ what is kundalini in sanatan dharma?
Kundalini (Sanskrit: เคเฅเคฃเฅเคกเคฒเคฟเคจเฅ) means “coiled serpent.”
It refers to the primordial energy lying dormant at the base of the spine (Mooladhara Chakra).
-
๐งโ๏ธ When awakened, it rises through the chakras, unlocking spiritual consciousness.
-
๐๏ธ It is mentioned in ancient texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Shiva Samhita, and Tantra Shastras.
๐ Kundalini is not imagination. It is the divine life-force (Shakti) waiting to unite with the Supreme Consciousness (Shiva).
๐ the seven chakras (energy centers)
Yoga teaches that the body is more than physical—it has pranic (energy) layers. The seven major chakras are:
๐ Chakra | ๐ Location | ๐ซ Qualities | ๐งโ๏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 |
๐ฏ Yoga’s goal is not just flexibility—it’s the alignment of these chakras to awaken the divine potential.
๐ how kundalini awakens (and why it matters)
The awakening of Kundalini isn’t random. It is a conscious spiritual journey guided by:
-
๐งโ๏ธ Asana – Preparing the body
-
๐ฌ๏ธ Pranayama – Purifying the breath
-
๐ฅ Bandhas & Mudras – Containing and channeling energy
-
๐๏ธ Mantra & Dhyana – Focusing the mind
-
๐ฟ Guru’s Grace – A key force in true awakening
โ ๏ธ Caution:
Awakening Kundalini without guidance can be dangerous.
That’s why ancient Gurus emphasized discipline (Tapas), humility (Shraddha), and purity (Shuddhi).
๐งฌ kundalini = shakti, yoga = union
In essence:
-
๐๏ธ Shakti (Kundalini) is energy
-
๐ฑ Shiva is consciousness
-
๐งโ๏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)
๐ “Yatra yatra mano yati tatra tatra samadhayah” – Wherever the mind goes, there is Samadhi (Shiva Samhita)
๐ 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:
๐ซ 1. To break the cycle of birth & death
Yoga burns karma, awakens the Atman, and leads to Moksha.
๐ญ 2. To harmonize individual and cosmic rhythm
Each breath you take in Pranayama aligns you with Brahmanda (the universe).
๐๏ธ 3. To know the Self as Brahman
Yoga destroys avidya (ignorance) and reveals the truth:
“Aham Brahmasmi” – I am the Absolute.
๐ช practical kundalini yoga steps (the safe way)
You don’t need to sit in a cave. Begin gently:
๐น Daily sadhana – Start with 15–30 mins
๐น Breathe consciously – Learn Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing)
๐น Chant OM – Vibrates through the chakras
๐น Read yogic texts – Especially Gita, Upanishads, and Yoga Sutras
๐น Surrender to the Divine – Let grace flow
๐ฟ And if ready, seek a Guru or mentor rooted in Sanatan Dharma traditions.
๐ yoga is your birthright – reclaim it
Remember: Yoga was gifted by Sanatan Rishis for your awakening, not as a commercial gym routine.
๐ Be proud of this divine heritage. Reconnect with it.
๐บ Whether you chant, meditate, serve, or reflect—every act of true yoga brings you one step closer to your highest Self.
๐งโ๏ธ in summary

Chakras are the inner map of spiritual evolution
