102 VISHNU GRANDHI VIBEDHINI –

She who breaks the ties of Vishnu grandhi i.e she who helps us cross
the ties due to our position.
Within the sushumna there are three granthis or psychic/pranic knots
which prevent the passage of kundalini shakti. Another is in anahata
chakra and it causes the desire for emotional security, expression and
fulfilment. It is called Vishnu granthi. Let us look at kundalini in the
light of the grandhis because here when we mention about vishnu
grandhi vibedhini what we are trying to say that sakthi in the form of
kundalini leads us into eternity untying the knots and freeing us from
emotions expressions and attachment.
Kundalini Yoga is another beautiful system. Rather it can be called
phenomena because it happens on its own accord. Whatever stress
and pressure we give, it may not arise. It will work out on the maturity
of inner Self.Kundalini has two forms –1. Energy Form – SAKTHI.
2. Conscience Form – Chaitanya.But it originates from Mooladhara. It
resides and sleeps always in the Mooladhara centre. When awakened it
produces enormous energy. It yields thousand and one super natural
powers. Thus it is called Sakthi Peeth, the seat of all powers. IT
HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE KUNDALINI POWER REACHES SAHASRARA
– THE HEAD CENTRE, TOUCHING ALL OTHER CENTRES IN THE MID
WAY. There it causes Self-realization. There are ultimate Truth
unravels surprisingly. Some adore and worship in the form of goddess
as Sri Chakra and Sri Vidya. Some other meditates through yoga
channels and discovers it as Higher Consciousness.Mooladhara
resembles a lotus. In the centre of the lotus there will be triangle. The
triangle is filled with vacuum. In the vacuum lies Kundalini energy
invisible. It is described as coiled three and half rounds. Those three
coils represent the qualities of Parasakthi; the remaining half coil
represents unnaturality – Vikruthi.The Kundalini looks like bulb or a
pot. FROM THE CENTRE OF THAT BULB RIGHT UPTO THE CENTRE OF
HEAD, THERE IS A SUBTLE TUBE CALLED SUSHUMNA. The Kundalini
lies in between the generating organ and Anus. It is of three and half
inches size. Nearly 72 thousand nerves start from there and reach to
different parts of the body. Of all the nadies (nerves), IDA, PINGALA 7
SUSHUMNA ARE VERY VERY IMPORTANT.IDA is on the RIGHT SIDE of
the Spinal Column. PINGALA on LEFT SIDE of the spinal column. BOTH
OF THEM EXCHANGE THEIR ROUTES AT EVERY CENTRE. Finally, all the
three (including Sushumna) join together ate the CENTRE BETWEEN
THE EYE-BROWS. After changing their routes, they descend into the
nostrils. Here IDA represents the MOON, PINGALA the SUN. They
release cool and warm breaths successively.Tradition speaks of these
centres thus:The first Chakra, MOOLADHARA, the prime one looks like
a lotus with four petals. In it lies the Kundalini coiled three and a half
 rounds. It is a vacuum chamber where shine a thousand suns. It has
EARTH nature. The presiding deity is Brahma. Its ruling power is
Dhakini. ‘LAM’ is the basic sound.The second Chakra or centre is
SWADHISTANA. It is a lotus with six petals. It has WATERY nature.
The presiding deity is Vishnu, residing power is Rakini. Its basic sound
is ‘VAM’.The third ‘MANIPOORAKA’ is the naval centre. It is a lotus with
ten Petals. FIRE is its nature. The presiding deity is Rudra, residing
power is Lakini. Its basic sound is ‘RAM’.The fourth centre is called
ANAHATA. The representing lotus contains Twelve petals. Its nature is
AIR. The presiding deity is Isa, residing power is of Kakini. It basic
sound is ‘YAM’. It is also called the Heart Centre. It is the heart of
Yoga too.The fifth Centre is VISUDDHI, neck centre. It has sixteen
petals. Its Character is ETHER. The presiding deity is Sadashiva,
residing power Sakini. The basic sound is ‘HAM’.The sixth centre is
AGNA. It is the central point between the two eyebrows. This is two
petalled lotus. The deity is Sambhu. Its residing power is Hakini. The
basic sound is Pranav i.e., AUM. It represents MIND.The seventh and
last is at the top of the head. It is called SAHASRAHARA – A thousand
petalled lotus. It is said to be residence of Parama Shiva. The
Kundalini energy that arises from Mooladhara (first centre) merges
with Shiva in Sahasrahara (seventh centre.) This MEETING CAUSES
TRANCE. When Shiva and Sakthi unite, the greatest happening takes
place. It produces divine nectar. By tasting the nectar a Yogi can
continue to live in the trance without food, water and any other
physical needs. He can live a thousand years and attain Physical
Immortality.Traditional Yoga Sadhakas, by practice of Pranayama and
Asanas try to give pressure on Kundalini. Really it is the Sadhana
(practice) that helps them to reach the Goal. One has to pass all the
Six Centres. At each centre he takes rest for some time. A Yogi by his
Self can chase BRAHMA GRANDHI of Mooladhara, VISHNU GRANDHI of
Manipooraka and RUDRA GRANDHI of Visuddhi. These Grandhies look
like hard-fastened Knots. They naturally obstruct the passage of
Kundalini Power in ascendancy (towards up). They even create
hardships. Even the Kundalini energy does not stay in Sahasrara for a
long time. Its stay in Sahasrara depends upon the dedication and
sincerity of the Sadhaka. The purified one will go further. Many
Sadhakas drop at various centres. The reason is simple. At each centre
the Yogi feels that he has reached the goal, and has attained divinity
in full and became all-powerful. Because at every step he acquires
some Supernatural powers that add feathers to his EGO cap. Moreover
the worldly pleasures, popularity and riches tempt him. Sahasrara
must be the final goal to all Sadhakas.A yogi should develop yoga
consciousness.He should feel and continue to live in the stream of
yoga consciousness. In the beginning,thethe practice will be dull and
 he may not get any sort of encouragement from the corner.He will
have no experiences.moreover he will face opposition from some
quarters.so long as we entertain negative thoughts we dont' progress
at all.there will be no spur.yet the mind,prana,life and kundalini
energy all the four will move higher and higher as one reaches each
centre he'll recieve help and encouragement from within.That is the
real mystery.that is called mystic help.that is an indication for spiritual
progress.that invisible power will stand by him and guard him
always.If we keep all our confidence in that visible power,it will extend
all help without that we cannot proceed.
If a Yogi can BORE the Mooladhara, he can win the world. That means
he can cross all the physical and worldly barriers.As he enters
Swadthisthana he can win water qualities. That means he enters
Bhuvarloka.When he reaches Manipooraka he can succeed Agni. That
means fire cannot burn him. It shows that he has reached imbibe
Heaven. He’ll imbibe divine qualities in full.When he crosses Anahata
centre, he can win Vayu (air) qualities. He can float in air. He can live
without air, without breath. That means he reaches Maha
Loka.Visuddhi centre is Etheric. A Yogi that reaches Visuddhi will have
an Etheric body. He can live with that body any number of years. He
can even come back and bear the physical form, if he so desires.A Yogi
when reaches Agna Centre settles in Tapoloka. Almost, he reaches the
eternal stage.The next one is Satya Loka, which is in between Agna
and Sahasrahara. There exists some other centres namely Guru,
Soma, Lalna, Manas etc..In the Sahasrahara centre or Chakra, the
Kundalini or the individual energy unites with Eternal Shiva Sakthi.The
kundalini energy gains additional power as it touches each centre.As it
purifies,it sheds more light.The yogi could exercise more and more
super natural powers for the benefit of the public.Atevery centre,he
will experience divinity.The yogi must be cautious and must have
control over his emotions.He must move away from temptations.He
should not care for the super natural powers.It is better to forget them
all.Spirituality is like a tree.it should grow naturally only then it would
yeild flowers and fruitsArtifical ways and means are dangerous.In
regard to kundalini weshould not allow any stress.Our business isonly
to control ourdesires.and wants,to controlour emotions. THE
KUNDALINI WILL KINDLE ON ITS OWN ACCORD. THAT WILL
REJUVENATE CONSCIENCE. ONE MUST CLEANSE HIS INNER SELF.
SINCERE PRACTICE IS REQUIRED. CLEAR AND PROPER
UNDERSTANDING IS ESSENTIAL. ABOVE ALL, ONE MUST HAVE A
GURU WHO SCALED ALL THE PEAKS AND WHO ASCENDED ALL
HEIGHTS. WE SHOULD HAVE PATIENCE.KUNDALINI ENERGY MAY
ASCENT IN FOUR DIFFERENT ROUTES. THE LONGEST OF ALL IS FROM
MOOLADHARA TO SAHASRARA THROUGH VERTEBRAL COLUMN. THIS
 IS THEMOST DIFFICULT AND ARDUOUS PATH. BUT A YOGI WILL
ACQUIRE ALMOST ALL SUPER NATURAL POWERS AND SIDDHIES IN
THIS ROUTE.THE SHORTEST ROUTE IS FROM AGNA TO
SAHASRAHARA.THE THIRD ONE IS FROM ANAHATA TO
SAHASRAHARA.THE LAST AND FINAL ONE IS AGAIN FROM
MOOLADHARA TO SAHASRAHRA IN THE FRONT SIDE.
Generally the Guru touches at the Agna centre or Anahata centre at
the time of Initiation. Thereafter the student starts meditation from
those centres. If Yoga is done at the Agna, the lower centres
automatically come into action. They open without any effort on the
past of the sadhaka. When the Kundalini energy kindles the Guru,
Soma, Manas and Lalna Chakras, the Yogi hears peculiar sounds, sees
distinct and different scenes. He will acquire a number of Psychic
faculties. He can even see a brilliant Jyothi in Agna. He feels a
Thousand Suns glow in Mooladhara. At that juncture he should have
bravery, possess compassion, love obedience and simplicity. When he
filled with these qualities, the Kundalini power comes up like fountain
waters. Without high values and morale in life nobody can claim any
mystical powers.This high values and morale can be achieved only
with her help and that is why it is said she is vishnu grandhi vibedhini.
