In Kundalini Yoga the creating and sustaining Sakti of the whole body is actually and truly

united with Lord Siva. The Yogi goads Her to introduce him to Her Lord. The rousing of
Kundalini
Sakti and Her Union with Lord Siva effects the state of Samadhi (Ecstatic union) and spiritual
Anubhava (experience). It is She who gives Knowledge or Jnana, for She is Herself That.
Kundalini
Herself, when awakened by the Yogins, achieves for them the Jnana (illumination).
Kundalini can be awakened by various means and these different methods are called by
different names, viz., Raja Yoga, Hatha Yoga, etc. The practitioner of this Kundalini Yoga
claims,
that it is higher than any other process and that Samadhi attained thereby is more perfect. The
reason
that they allege, is this:—In Dhyana Yoga, ecstasy takes place through detachment from the
world
and mental concentration leading the variety of mental operation (Vritti) of the uprising of pure
consciousness unhindered by the limitations of the mind. The degree to which this unveiling of
consciousness is effected, depends upon the meditative power, Dhyana Sakti, of the Sadhaka and
the extent of detachment from the world. On the other hand, Kundalini is all Sakti and is
therefore
Jnana Sakti Herself—bestows Jnana and Mukti, when awakened by the Yogins. Secondly, in
Kundalini Yoga there is not merely a Samadhi through meditation, but the central power of the
Jiva,
carries with it the forms of both body and mind. The union in that sense is claimed to be more
complete than that enacted through methods only. Though in both cases the body-consciousness
is
lost, in Kundalini Yoga not only the mind but the body also, in so far as it is represented by its
central power, is actually united with Lord Siva at the Sahasrara Chakra. This union (Samadhi)
produces Bhukti (enjoyment) which a Dhyana Yogi does not possess. A Kundalini Yogi has both
Bhukti (enjoyment) and Mukti (liberation) in the fullest and literal sense. Hence this Yoga is
claimed to be the foremost of all Yogas. When the sleeping Kundalini is awakened by Yogic
Kriyas, it forces a passage upwards through the different Chakras (Shat-Chakra Bheda). It
excites
or stimulates them into intense activity. During its ascent, layer after layer of the mind becomes
fully opened. All Kleshas (afflictions) and the three kinds of Taapa will vanish. The Yogi
