Kundalini (कुण्डलिनी)

Photo: योग सिद्धांत के अनुसार प्रत्येक मनुष्य के मेरुदंड के नीचे एक ऊर्जा संग्रहीत होती है जिसके जाग्रत होने पर स्वयंज्ञान की प्राप्ति होती है । इसका ज़िक्र उपनिषदों और शाक्त विचारधारा के अन्दर कई बार आया है ।

ऊर्जा का यह रूप (क्वाईल या कुंडली) एक सांप के साढ़े तीन कुंडली (लपेटे हुए) मारकर बैठे हुए रूप से मिलती है। इसके अनुसार ध्यान और आसन करने से, यह उर्जा मेरु के नीचे से होकर मस्तिष्क तक ७ चक्रों से होकर गुजरती है ।

इसे कौन जागृत कर सकता है? इसे जागृत करने के तरीके क्या क्या हैं? चक्रों के कार्य क्या हैं? जानने के लिए पढ़ें -

Kundalini (कुण्डलिनी)

Kundalini is the name of a sleeping dormant potential force in the human organism and it is situated at the root of the spinal column. In the masculine body Kundalini is in the perineum, between the urinary and excretory organs. In the female body its location is at the root of the uterus, in the cervix. This center is known as mooladhara chakra and it is actually a physical structure. It is a small gland which you can even take out and press.

However, kundalini is a dormant energy, and even if you press it, it will not explode like a bomb. To awaken kundalini you must prepare yourself through yogic techniques. You must practise asanas, pranayama, kriya yoga and meditation. Then, when you are able to force your prana into the seat of kundalini, the energy wakes up and makes its way through sushumna nadi, the central nervous canal, to the brain. 

As kundalini ascends, it passes through each of the chakras which are interconnected with the different silent areas of the brain. With the awakening of kundalini there is an explosion in the brain as the dormant or sleeping areas start blossoming like flowers. Therefore, kundalini can be equated with the awakening of the silent areas of the brain.

Although kundalini is said to reside in mooladhara chakra, we are all at different stages of evolution, and in some of us kundalini may have already reached swadhisthana, manipura or anahata chakra. If this is so, whatever sadhana you do now might start an awakening in anahata or some other chakra. 

However, awakening of kundalini in mooladhara chakra is one thing, and awakening in sahasrara, the highest center of the brain, is another. Once the multipetalled lotus of sahasrara blossoms, a new consciousness dawns. Our present consciousness is not independent, as the mind depends on the information supplied by the senses. If you have no eyes, you can never see; if you are deaf, you will never hear. However, when the superconsciousness emerges, experience becomes completely independent and knowledge also becomes completely independent.

Who_can_awaken_kundalini?

There are many people who have awakened their kundalini. Not only saints and sadhus, but poets, painters, warriors, writers, anyone can awaken their kundalini. With the awakening of kundalini, not only visions of God take place, there is dawning of creative intelligence and an awakening of supramental faculties. By activating kundalini you may become anything in life.

Kundalini is the creative energy. it is the energy of self-expression. It is the same energy that is expressed when someone composes or plays beautiful music. It is the same energy which is expressed in all parts of life, whether it is building up a business, fulfilling the family duties or reaching whatever goal you aspire for. These are all expressions of the same creative energy.

Methods_to_Awaken_the_Kundalini

Mantra

This method of awakening kundalini is through steady regular practice of mantra. This is a very powerful, smooth and risk-free method, but of course it is a sadhana which requires time and a lot of patience. First you need to get a suitable mantra from a guru who knows yoga and tantra, and who can guide you through your sadhana. When you practise the mantra incessantly, it develops in you the vision of a higher force and enables you to live amidst the sensualities of life with indifference to them.

When you throw a pebble into a still lake, it produces circular ripples. In the same way, when you repeat a mantra over and over again, the sound force gathers momentum and creates vibrations in the ocean of the mind. When you repeat the mantra millions and billions of times, it permeates every part of your brain and purifies your whole physical, mental and emotional body.

Awakening_through_sound_or_music - Nada_Yoga.

Here the sounds are the bija mantras and the music consists of particular melodies corresponding to particular chakras. This is a most tender and absorbing way of awakening.

Pranayama

When a sufficiently prepared aspirant practises pranayama in a calm, cool and quiet environment, preferably at a high altitude, with a diet only sufficient to maintain life, the awakening of kundalini takes place like an explosition. In fact, the awakening is so rapid that kundalini ascends to sahasrara immediately.

Raja_Yoga

It occurs by a sequental process of concentration, meditation and communion, experience of union with the absolute or supreme.

Kriya_Yoga

This is the noble way of awakening the kundalini which is done through specific actions which can be learnt by a potential guru.

Skatipaat

The awakening is performed by the guru. It is called shaktipat. The awakening is instant, but it is only a glimpse, not a permanent event. When the guru creates this awakening you experience samadhi. You can practise all forms of pranayama and all asanas, mudras and bandhas without having learned them or prepared for them. All the mantras are revealed to you and you know the scriptures from within. Changes take place in the physical body in an instant. The skin becomes very soft, the eyes glow and the body emits a particular aroma which is neither agreeable nor disagreeable.

Tantric_initiation

This method of awakening kundalini through tantric initiation is a very secret topic. Only those people who have transcended passions, and who understand the two principles of nature, Shiva and Shakti, are entitled to this initiation. It is not meant for those who have urges lurking within them or for those who have a need for physical contact. With the guidance of a guru, this is the quickest possible way to awaken kundalini.

There is a mantra which has the power to awaken the kundalini. The mantra is provided by Gurudev Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimali and is a very effective mantra. The mantra is practiced by many sadhakas to awaken the kundalini.

Photo: समस्त विद्याओं की भण्डागार-गायत्री महाशक्ति - 
 
ॐ र्भूभुवः स्वः तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात्

गायत्री संसार के समस्त ज्ञान-विज्ञान की आदि जननी है । वेदों को समस्त प्रकार की विद्याओं का भण्डार माना जाता है, वे वेद गायत्री की व्याख्या मात्र हैं । गायत्री को 'वेदमाता' कहा गया है । चारों वेद गायत्री के पुत्र हैं । ब्रह्माजी ने अपने एक-एक मुख से गायत्री के एक-एक चरण की व्याख्या करके चार वेदों को प्रकट किया । 

'ॐ भूर्भवः स्वः' से-ऋग्वेद, 
'तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं' से-यर्जुवेद, 
'भर्गोदेवस्य धीमहि' से-सामवेद और 
'धियो योनः प्रचोदयात्' से अथर्ववेद की रचना हुई । 

इन वेदों से शास्त्र, दर्शन, ब्राह्मण ग्रन्थ, आरण्यक, सूत्र, उपनिषद्, पुराण, स्मृति आदि का निर्माण हुआ । इन्हीं ग्रन्थों से शिल्प, वाणिज्य, शिक्षा, रसायन, वास्तु, संगीत आदि ८४ कलाओं का आविष्कार हुआ । इस प्रकार गायत्री, संसार के समस्त ज्ञान-विज्ञान की जननी ठहरती है । 

जिस प्रकार बीज के भीतर वृक्ष तथा वीर्य की एक बूंद के भीतर पूरा मनुष्य सन्निहित होता है, उसी प्रकार गायत्री के २४ अक्षरों में संसार का समस्त ज्ञान-विज्ञान भरा हुआ है । यह सब गायत्री का ही अर्थ विस्तार है ।
 
मंत्रों में शक्ति होती है । मंत्रों के अक्षर शक्ति बीज कहलाते हैं । उनका शब्द गुन्थन ऐसा होता है कि उनके विधिवत् उच्चारण एवं प्रयोग से अदृश्य आकाश मण्डल में शक्तिशाली विद्युत् तरंगें उत्पन्न होती हैं, और मनःशक्ति तरंगों द्वारा नाना प्रकार के आध्यात्मिक एवं सांसारिक प्रयोजन पूरे होते हैं । 

साधारणतः सभी विशिष्ट मंत्रों में यही बात होती है । उनके शब्दों में शक्ति तो होती है, पर उन शब्दों का कोई विशेष महत्वपूर्ण अर्थ नहीं होता । पर गायत्री मंत्र में यह बात नहीं है । इसके एक-एक अक्षर में अनेक प्रकार के ज्ञान-विज्ञानों के रहस्यमय तत्त्व छिपे हुए हैं ।

 'तत्-सवितुः - वरेण्यं-' आदि के स्थूल अर्थ तो सभी को मालूम है एवं पुस्तकों में छपे हुए हैं । यह अर्थ भी शिक्षाप्रद हैं । परन्तु इनके अतिरिक्त ६४ कलाओं, ६ शास्त्रों, ६ दर्शनों एवं ८४ विद्याओं के रहस्य प्रकाशित करने वाले अर्थ भी गायत्री के हैं । उन अर्थों का भेद कोई-कोई अधिकारी पुरुष ही जानते हैं । वे न तो छपे हुए हैं और न सबके लिये प्रकट हैं । 

इन २४ अक्षरों में आर्युवेद शास्त्र भरा हुआ है । ऐसी-ऐसी दिव्य औषधियों और रसायनों के बनाने की विधियाँ इन अक्षरों में संकेत रूप से मौजूद हैं जिनके द्वारा मनुष्य असाध्य रोगों से निवृत्त हो सकता है, अजर-अमर तक बन सकता है । 

इन २४ अक्षरों में सोना बनाने की विधा का संकेत है । इन अक्षरों में अनेकों प्रकार के आग्नेयास्त्र, वरुणास्त्र, नारायणास्त्र, पाशुपतास्त्र, ब्रह्मास्त्र आदि हथियार बनाने के विधान मौजूद हैं । अनेक दिव्य शक्तियों पर अधिकार करने की विधियों के विज्ञान भरे हुए हैं । 

ऋद्धि-सिद्धियों को प्राप्त करने, लोक-लोकान्तरों के प्राणियों से सम्बन्ध स्थापित करने, ग्रहों की गतिविधि तथा प्रभाव को जानने, अतीत तथा भविष्य से परिचित होने, अदृश्य एवं अविज्ञात तत्त्वों को हस्तामलकवत् देखने आदि अनेकों प्रकार के विज्ञान मौजूद हैं । जिसकी थोड़ी सी भी जानकारी मनुष्य प्राप्त करले तो वह भूलोक में रहते हुए भी देवताओं के समान दिव्य शक्तियों से सुसम्पन्न बन सकता है । 

प्राचीन काल में ऐसी अनेक विद्याएँ हमारे पूर्वजों को मालूम थीं जो आज लुप्त प्रायः हो गई हैं । उन विद्याओं के कारण हम एक समय जगद्गुरु, चक्रवर्ती शासक एवं स्वर्ग-सम्पदाओं के स्वामी बने हुए थे । आज हम उनसे वञ्चित होकर दीन-हीन बने हुए हैं । 

‍आवश्यकता इस बात की है कि गायत्री महामन्त्र में सन्निहित उन लुप्तप्राय महाविद्याओं को खोज निकाला जाय, जो हमें फिर से स्वर्ग- सम्पदाओं का स्वामी बना सके । यह विषय सर्वसाधारण का नहीं है । हर एक का इस क्षेत्र में प्रवेश भी नहीं है । अधिकारी सत्पात्र ही इस क्षेत्र में कुछ अनुसंधान कर सकते हैं और उपलब्ध प्रतिफलों से जनसामान्य को लाभान्वित करा सकते हैं । 

गायत्री के दोनों ही प्रयोग हैं । वह योग भी है और तन्त्र भी । उससे आत्म-दर्शन और ब्रह्मप्राप्ति भी होती है तथा सांसारिक उपार्जन-संहार भी । गायत्री-योग दक्षिण मार्ग है- उस मार्ग से हमारे आत्म-कल्याण का उद्देश्य पूरा होता है । 

‍दक्षिण मार्ग का आधार यह है कि- विश्वव्यापी ईश्वरीय शक्तियों को आध्यात्मिक चुम्बकत्व से खींच कर अपने में धारण किया जाय, सतोगुण को बढ़ाया जाय और अन्तर्जगत् में अवस्थित पञ्चकोष, सप्त प्राण, चेतना चतुष्टय, षटचक्र एवं अनेक उपचक्रों, मातृकाओं, ग्रन्थियों, भ्रमरों, कमलों, उपत्यिकाओं को जागृत करके आनन्ददायिनी = अलौकिक शक्तियों का आविर्भाव किया जाय । 
‍ 
गायत्री-तन्त्र वाम मार्ग है- उससे सांसारिक वस्तुएँ प्राप्त की जा सकती हैं और किसी का नाश भी किया जा सकता है । वाम मार्ग का आधार यह है कि-'' दूसरे प्राणियों के शरीरों में निवास करने वाली शक्ति को इधर से उधर हस्तान्तरित करके एक जगह विशेष मात्रा में शक्ति संचित कर ली जाय और उस शक्ति का मनमाना उपयोग किया जाय ।'' 

तन्त्र का विषय गोपनीय है, इसलिए गायत्री तन्त्र के ग्रन्थों में ऐसी अनेकों साधनाएँ प्राप्त होती हैं, जिनमें धन, सन्तान, स्त्री, यश, आरोग्य, पदप्राप्ति, रोग-निवारण, शत्रु नाश, पाप-नाश, वशीकरण आदि लाभों का वर्णन है और संकेत रूप से उन साधनाओं का एक अंश बताया गया है । परन्तु यह भली प्रकार स्मरण रखना चाहिये कि इन संक्षिप्त संकेतों के पीछे एक भारी कर्मकाण्ड एवं विधिविधान है । वह पुस्तकों में नहीं वरन् अनुभवी साधना सम्पन्न व्यक्तियों से प्राप्त होता है, जिन्हें सद्गुरु कहते हैं ।
