What is Kula Kundalini ??

Question (Asked by Aum on YA) : What is Kula Kundalini ?

 

Ans (By Hema d) :

Kula Kundalini is the freed spirit of Kundalini consciousness. Shiva resides in

Sahasrara Chakra, while Shakti lies dormant in the triangular yoni, which the

shastras also call " kula-kun-dala " or " matri-yoni " . " Kula " means ``Shakti " or

" power " and " kunda " indicates " yoni " . Kundalini, which is even minuter that an

atom is coiled three and a half times, and lies inactive within man`s body.

 

Kula Kundalini, Kundalini MeditationSahasrara is the dwelling place of Shiva,

where Shiva and Shakti live in full harmony. Here the ocean of nectar is found

flowing, and just below this is the bindu visarga. It is at this point that the

human being rises to a point of achiever, a partial achiever, and finally a

non-achiever. At this very place the great Shiva resides in the symbol of light,

and when the cover of ignorance is removed, all the three worlds are awakened.

This is the place where all the desires arising from the collected karmas, life

after life is deposited. The much-coveted " kalpataru " (the imaginary tree which

fulfils one`s desires) is also found here. This is the altar where Shiva and

Shakti unite.

 

The power of kula kundalini lies in mooladhara in the form of body

consciousness, in swadhisthana in the coarse form, in manipura as the crude form

which depicts the sense of smell, in anahata that signifies the sense of touch,

in vishuddhi, in ajna transgressing the thought waves of the soul, and finally

submerges in the Sahasrara.

 

When kula kundalini awakens like an angry hissing serpent, body consciousness,

inner consciousness and ego are not present and the yogic powers start running

behind the yoga aspirant. Now the Guru alerts his disciple because the triumph

thus gained can be deprived of temptation. This state is called " Tripura

Sundari " because it encloses the gross, subtle and causal body. A person who

knows the truth behind this surpasses all the three worlds. The moment kundalini

touches anahata chakra, the lotus heart starts to bloom.

 

If, under the guidance of the Guru, the disciple wish to learn the process of

meditation with the mantras " Ka " " Aee " " Ee " , " La " , " Hrim " , then one can master

the all-pervading and protective powers of Kameshwari, Aruna, Modini Vimla,

Jayeeni, Sarveshi and Kaalini as described in the " Ashtachara " . Kula Kundalini

is the power of Shiva, which destroys the hunger for life. The Tripura Sundari

eliminates the psychic emotions of a yogi, which is three bindus, three

triangles, three parallel lines, a mantra with three alphabets, three

manifestations, three yonis and three specific powers.

 

The three bindus of Tripura Sundari are red, white and colorless that signifies

self-control, the sense of being and the sense of existence. The first bindu is

red in colour and signifies ego-consciousness, the second bindu is white and

signifies manomaya consciousness, and the third bindu signifies the formless

consciousness, thus having no colour at all. It is recommended that one should

meditate on the Kula Kundalini in mooladhara as though the three bindus were

smiling faces. This is the method to meditate on the " Manamath Kala " , through

which one can achieve Shiva consciousness. Now the Guru shall warn the disciple

that all this is transient and the benevolence of Tripura Sundari alone is

eternal.

 

Yogis meditate on the Kula Kundalini in the anahata chakra because there the

nectar is flowing. By doing this all the elements of sin are abolished. The

disciple goes along with the Guru, transgressing earth, fire, water, air and

ether elements, remain in pure consciousness. The " Hatha " mantra helps to

extinguish the intensity of human feelings. The disciple follows the Guru and

eventually will give up the three spheres, the seven realms and the fourteen

" bhavanas " . Later, he will encounter Brahma (the Creator), Indra (the god of

rain), Yama (the god of death) and Kuber (the god of wealth) whom the disciple

has to ignore and move along his path.

 

Kula Kundalini, Kundalini MeditationThe first step to attain spirituality is to

pacify the Kula Kundalini whose origin is in the yoni, and whose path is along

the Sushumna and which unites with Shiva at " brahmarandra " . The unbroken day and

night japa and steady dhyana brings about the non-dual feeling for your ishta,

blessings, living on fruits, total subjugation, wooden silence and severe

celibacy, one can even arouse the kula kundalini. For elevating the kula

kundalini, one has to chant the " Durga Saptashati " or " Ananda Lahari " .

 

To help the Kula Kundalini rise upwards unobstructed, one have to practice

asana, pranayama, mudra and bandha so that the " brahma granthi " , " vishnu

granthi " and " rudra granthi " can be conquered, and all three gunas has to be

subjugated, because Kula Kundalini stands on the corpses in the forms of

Mahashakti, Mahakrodha and Avadhoot. In such a condition, only the Guru can give

support to his disciple. A Guru should be well educated about the Vamakeswar

Gyanaargava and the Tantras before guiding his student
