Sub; Chakra Sadhana.

[Guest guest]

Come on in Shiva, there's a warm welcome by Mahadev to Shiva as he

enters the hall. Guruji I am so sorry that I could not present here

on all these days due to heavy rains in and around Mumbai. There was

a cloudburst and entire season's rain was poured on one day. For

sometime we all were busy in restoring our house, afterwards

everybody in the house was laid down with fever. Hoof it was hell lot

of trouble said Shiva while sitting.

 

Guruji, I read an article on "Chakras in the body" as it is not clear

to me I request you to enlighten us about them, said Sundar rushing

inside the hall. I read; there exists Seven Chakras having seven

colures of the rainbow starting from Violet on the head, ends with

Red colour of first Chakra.

 

Sundar what you read is about "Kundalini or Chakra Sadhana" as

described in Vedic verses said Mahadev. Though there are seven

Chakras in the body, we often refer to six charkas leaving the top

Chakra. The top chakra is considered as unique and is generally not

counted with the others. It is believed that "Yoga" or "Yog Shakti"

(Yogic Power) it appears as if a coiled serpent located in first

chakra. It has its body turned into three and half coils, keeping its

head down in the coil. When one concentrates or prays for Lord, it

raises and passes through all the charkas and reaches the ultimate

chakra. On its journey to the final chakra, it passes through six

charkas and three "Naadis" or "Grandhis" (Nodes).

 

It is believed that "The Kundalini" (Yogic Power) rises to the last

or ultimate Chakra while one is concentrating and comes back to

normalcy once "the Dhyana" is completed. Awakening of "Kundalini

Shakti" means the ability to retain the "Yogic Power" at final or

ultimate Chakra for all times. For achieving this goal, "Sadhak"

(Practitioner) has to break the "Naadis" to make the passage through

and smooth without any obstruction. With this background in mind,

lets know what "chakras and naadis" mean.

 

1)"MOOLADHARA": Is the first chakra, It is located in the region of

Triangular Bone of the spinal Chord. (Below the genital and above the

Ass hole). The beejakshar for its meditation is "Lum" Colour of this

chakra as per Vedic verses is Smoke gray. This chakra is responsible

for giving strength to the bones of the body. The "Tatwa" (Element)

of this chakra is "Pridhvi" (Earth). Since it is a starting Chakra,

the derived benefits were not described in Vedic verses.

(Sperm). There is no "Tatwa" (Element) for this chakra. The derived

benefit of this chakra as described in Vedic verse is "Sanvith Gnyan"

(Knowledge beyond the human reach).

 

There are three "Naadis" Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra, which are located

between "SWADISHTHANA" and "MANIPOORA"; "ANAHATA"

and "VISHUDDHI"; "AAGNYA" and "SAHASRARA" respectively. It is

believed that the normal size of each chakra is one and half inch in

diameter and would increase with the power of meditation. It is also

believed that the meditation shall start from throat chakra to

Mooladhara and then from Aagnya to Shasrara but not from Mooladhra to

Sahasrara.

 

It is time to depart and we shall discuss another subject when we

meet for the next time said Mahadev as a departing signal.
