Descent of Kundalini

Descent of Kundalini

The Descent of Kundalini Everybody talks about the ascent of kundalini, but few ever discuss the descent. When the descent of kundalini occurs, it means the lower mental plane of the human being is no longer influenced by the ordinary mind, the supermind takes over instead. This higher form of consciousness rules the body, mind and senses and directs your life, thoughts and emotions. Kundalini is henceforth the ruler of your life. That is the concept of descent. The whole process after union When Shiva and Shakti unite in sahasrara, one experiences samadhi, illumination occurs in the brain and the silent areas begin to function. Shiva and Shakti remain merged together for some time, and during this period there is a total loss of consciousness pertaining to each other. At that time a bindu evolves. Bindu means a point, a drop, and that bindu is the substratum of the whole cosmos. Within that bindu is the seat of human intelligence and the seat of the total creation. Then the bindu splits into two and Shiva and Shakti manifest again in duality. When ascension took place, it was only the ascent of Shakti, but now, when descension takes place, Shiva and Shakti both descend to the gross plane and there is again knowledge of duality. Those who have studied quantum physics will have a better understanding of this as it is difficult for everyone to understand from the philosophical point of view. After total union there is a process of corning down the same pathway you ascended. The gross consciousness which became fine, again becomes gross. That is the concept of divine incarnation or avatara

The non-dual experience of samadhi When one attains the highest pinnacles of samadhi, purusha and prakriti, or Shiva and Shakti are in total union and only adwaita exists, non-dual experience. At this time, when there is no subject/object plus distinction, it is very difficult for one to differentiate. He may look like an idiot and not know it, or he may appear to be a great scholar and not be aware of that. Whether he is talking to a man or a woman he does not know, he sees no difference. He may even be associating with spiritual or divine people without being aware of that, because at this point of time his consciousness is reduced to a level of innocence just like a baby. So, in the state of samadhi you are a baby. A baby can’t tell the difference between a man and a woman because he has no physical or sexual distinction. He can’t When Shiva and Shakti descend to the gross plane, that is mooladhara chakra, they separate and live as two entities. There is duality in mooladhara chakra. There is duality in the mind and senses and in the world of names and forms, but there is no duality in samadhi. There is no seer or experiencer in the state of samadhi. There is nobody to say what samadhi is like because it is a non-dual experience. Why Shiva and Shakti both descend It is very difficult to understand why Shiva and Shakti both descend to the gross plane after having attained the highest union. What is the use of destroying the world and then creating it again? What is the point of transcending the consciousness if you have to come back to it again? Why bother to awaken kundalini and unite with Shiva in sahasrara if you have to come down to mooladhara again? This is something very mysterious and we can well ask, ‘Why awaken kundalini at all?’ Why build a mansion if you know you will have to burn it down when it is completed? We actually create a lot of things that are ultimately going to be destroyed. So why do it at all? It seems so crazy! We do so much sadhana to transcend the chakras and ascend from earth to heaven.

Then, when we reach paradise and become one with that great reality, we suddenly decide to come back down. And not all alone, we bring the great one with us. It would be easier to understand if Shakti came back alone and Shiva remained in heaven. Maybe when Shakti is about to leave, Shiva says, 'Wait, I'm coming with you. A new existence on the gross plane When kundalini descends, you come down to the gross plane with a totally transformed consciousness. You live a normal life, associating with everybody and discharging your worldly obligations like other people do. Maybe you even play the game of desires, passions, cravings and such things. Maybe you play the game of victory and defeat, attachments and infatuations, but you just play a game. You know it; you do everything as an actor. You are not involved in it life and soul. It is at this time the genius or the transformed consciousness manifests through you. You don't have to think or plan how to perform miracles. You have to remember that you have come down as a transformed quality of consciousness. You must remember that you are now connected with those areas of the brain which were previously silent. And you must also remember that you are linked with those reservoirs of knowledge, power and wisdom which belong to the realm of the higher cosmos. Until the descent is complete, such a man lives a very simple life, unnoticed and unattended. Once the descent is complete he begins to play the game and people recognize him as a divine incarnation. They see he is something special compared to everybody else and they call him a guru. Such a person is actually a junior god. Distinguish a scholar from an idiot and he may not even see any difference between a snake and a rope. He can hold a snake just as he holds a rope. This only happens when union is taking place.

How does one receive spiritual enlightenment

satyamshakti — Wed, 21 Jun 2023 09:57:10 +0000

The key to enlightenment is attention.

If you want to abandon illusion, know reality and attend to it instead.

If you’re interested in enlightenment, start with a good definition.

To discern and abide in the ever-present Reality is the true attainment. All other attainments are like powers enjoyed in a dream.

According to Sri Ramana Maharshi, Reality in Forty Verses, Verse 35.

Enlightenment is about knowing who we are.

Enlightenment doesn’t confer special powers or make us “perfect” people according to someone’s definition.

But enlightenment is the only true accomplishment. All other accomplishments are like getting something in a dream.

You go to sleep and dream you want a mansion. So you strive and you try. Eventually, you get your mansion.

But who are you?

In your pursuit of the mansion, you didn’t ask. You hit the ground running. Now you will enter another dream, none the wiser.

A person without discernment is tossed from longing to longing.

A person who knows the difference between illusion and reality is at peace.

Here is the key, or general idea:

If you have a spiritual practice you feel comfortable with, keep doing it.
If you’re starting out, Self-enquiry, or Self-attention, is effective.
What is Self-attention?

Self-attention returns the outward-going attention to your true nature, which is pure Consciousness or I Am.

The Self can’t be known or perceived as an object.

How do we know the Self, which can’t be seen or known?

Since we can’t see it or know it, we can only be it. We accomplish this when we stop giving our attention to other things.

The Self is always here, but we overlook it when we engage in thinking activity.

The Self is not the “I” who thinks and worries.

Trying to stop thinking while identifying as “I” is like standing in a rainstorm and trying to avoid getting wet.

When you disidentify with the “I” that thinks and worries, you are free.

To do so, turn your attention to the Consciousness in which “I” seems to appear. This is the Self.

We don’t progress along the path to enlightenment and become an “enlightened person.” An “enlightened person” is an object of thought. “Progress” is also an object of thought.
Self-attention is a circular path, or a path that doesn’t go beyond Step 1.
Turn your attention to Consciousness and be that. All that would arise in Consciousness is an object. Be as you are.
All thinking and questioning is a movement away from the Self. Ask yourself, “Who thinks and questions?”

This objectified self isn’t who you are.

Be as you are. You are not a mind having a peaceful experience. You are Peace and Silence itself.

What happens when the kundalini is awakened

What happens when the kundalini is awakened

Kundalini is the Primordial Energy (or shakti) said to be located at the base of the spine. Different spiritual traditions teach methods of awakening that Kundalini Energy for the purpose of Enlightenment or Self-Realization. Kundalini is your life force energy. It’s believed that in these who are unawakened their energy remains coiled at the base of their spine. For those who have an awakening event & become conscious, the energy spiral upward, activating each chakra & making the being transition into a spiritual being. A kundalini awakening is talked about a lot in spiritual circles because prior to experiencing bliss, the energy first cleanses & purifies the shifts that you experience can be unnerving & downright painful at worst. After great effort & spiritual practice the Kundalini is awakened. According to the yogis there are three nerves in the spinal columns: Ida, Pingala & Sushuma. Along the Sushuma column there are total six lotuses or centers, the lowest center is called as Muladhara. After words then come successively Svadhisthana, Manipura, Anahata, Visuddha & Ajna. These are the six centers. The kundalini lies in the lotus of the Muladhara chakra. That lotus has total four petals. The Primordial Energy resides in all bodies as the kundalini. She is like a sleeping snake coiled-up the form of sleeping snake, having the Muladhara for her abode. The kundalini is speedily awakened if one follows the path of Bhakti Yoga(the path of unconditional, desire less love &faith towards God).

So, coming to your question, What will really happen after Kundalini is Awakened ?

The mind of worldly man generally moves among the three lower centers; that three lower centers exists manly at the navel, at the sexual organ & at the organ of evacuation. In that state the mind loses all its higher visions- it only sees the vision of sense pleasure, lust & wealth. Yoga whichever it may be whether it may be Bhakti Yoga, Karma yoga, Dnyan Yoga, Hath Yoga, or any type of spiritual practices. Real yoga and its effect is not possible if the mind dwells on lust, wealth & never ending material desires. A kundalini awakening can be one of the most traumatic & confusing times of your life. What you cannot tell at the onset is that you’re actually undergoing a deep purification process, in which you will come out on the other end stronger & more level headed than ever before.

The kundalini when awakened, passes through the lower centers & come to the anahata, which is at the heart.. It stays there. At that time the mind of the seeker is withdrawn from the three lower centers. When the mind dwells there, one has the first glimpse of spiritual consciousness. One sees light all around. Such a man perceiving the divine light becomes speechless with wonder & says “‘oh !! What is this ??”, his mind doesn’t go downwards to the material objects of the world.

According to the Vedas, these centers(chakras) are called as Bhumi Planes. There are seven such planes. The center at the heart corresponds to the fourth plane of Vedas. Ahead the centers known as Visuddha is the fifth plane. This center is at the throat and has a lotus with sixteen petals when the kundalini reaches that plane, one does not enjoy talking or hearing about anything but only God(the Ultimate Reality). If one talks about worldly things, he will ;eave that place as soon as possible.

Then comes the sixth plane, corresponding to the center known as Ajna. This chakra or center is located between the eyebrows & it has a lotus with two petals. When the kundalini energy reaches it, the seeker sees the form of Satchidananda (Existence- Knowledge-Bliss Absolute). But even the little trace of ego remains. At that sight of that incomparable beauty of Satchitananda’s form, one becomes intoxicated & rushes forth to touch & embrace it. But one doesn’t succeed. It is like a light inside a lantern. You may think you have touched the light inside, but in reality you cannot because of the barrier of glass.

And last of all is the seventh plane, which, accordingly to Tantra, is the center of the thousand petaled lotus called Sahasrara. When the kundalini arrives there the individual soul & the Supreme Soul become one. The seeker goes into the Samadhi His consciousness of these human body & limitations disappears. He loses the knowledge of the outer world. He does not see the manifold(duality) any more. His reasoning comes to stop.

Duality (or pair of opposites) is the illusion nature of existence such as ‘inside or outside’, ‘light & darkness’, ‘this or that’, ‘right or wrong’, ‘positive or negative’, ‘you & me’ and so on. In Samadhi, one attains Non-duality (Advaita) and merges with the Oneness of the Ultimate Reality.

In that lotus dwells Satchitananda Lord Shiva, the absolute. There Kundalini, the awakened power unites with Lord Shiva. This is known as the union of Shiva and Shakti. In samadhi one attains the knowlede of Brahma(The Ultimate Reality)- one realizes Brahma (don’t confuse it with lord brahma, here i am talking about formless, nameless form of God known as Brahma tattva, the absolute and complete). In that state reasoning stops altogether and man becomes mute. He has no power to describe the nature of Brahma. After the vision of Brahma, a man becomes silent.

When the kundalini arises to the Sahasrara and the mind goes into the Samadhi, the seeker loses all consciousness of the outer world. He can no longer retain his physical body. Dwelling on these higher levels of dimensions of consciousness, he gives up his body in Twenty-one days . That is the condition of a Brahma-Gyani(fully Enlightened Soul).

A man’s spiritual consciousness is not awakened unless and until his kundlini is aroused. One should also pray to God with utmost faith. And Bhakti Yoga(the path of unconditional, desire less love &faith towards God) is one of the simplest and most beautiful way to awaken your kundalini energy. These is the power of Bhakti and Divine love.
