THE FIVE FACES OF KUNDALINI I.E.

THE FIVE STREAMS OF DIVINE ENERGY

http://www.shriramsharma.com/chapter.htm

Colloquially all creatures are called living beings. Because they have Prana (vital force) they are called
Pranis too. But it is not so simple. Material scientists do not accept that a creature has life force. They
say life is a body which is an admixture of chemicals plus 5 elements. When the 5 elements dissociate
from one another that creature becomes extinct. They opine that there is nothing like a soul principle in
this world. Man is just a walking, moving, speaking tree.

http://www.shriramsharma.com/chapter.htm

But the above ideology does not pass the test of spiritual science. They look upon the individual soul as
a part manifestation of God. The vital force is different from it. Vital force or Prana is the life force. He
who has internal fortitude and external bravery is called one imbued with vital force. The vital force
spoken of over here is actually the spirit. Spirit means radiance. Radiance includes understanding,
honesty, responsibility and valiant character. In spiritual terms these qualities of glory are called vital
force fire. No doubt vile and wicked men too have daring and bravery. But they can never be called
valiant. At the most they can be called vile and wicked.

To be imbued with vital force is to gain the highest benefits of human life. People follow and praise only
those who possess this glory. Such men are called saints who not only uplift themselves spiritually but
help others raise their spiritual stature. They are seated in that boat which helps them cross the river
called this world and help innumerous other souls too to follow in their footsteps.

Vital force is a conscious power. It can be called live electricity. With electrical power many factories
are at work. The city blinks with light and with its energy many material comforts are produced. One is
amazed to note that with the help of ordinary bodies, this vital force electricity can carry out impossible
tasks.
It is difficult to count the total number of living beings dwelling on earth. Because there are innumerable
creatures living on land, air and sea. In fertile lands there are very tiny creatures. In one drop of water
there are innumerable bacteria etc. Who will count their total number? Because its number is beyond
our imagination. One can say that all these are living beings. But here we will discuss those living beings
who manifest intense spiritual lustre and it is not found even in ordinary laymen. Only he can jump high
enough who possesses such nerves, muscles, imagination and thinking process which manifest intense
electrical power of a very high grade. Such people harbour extraordinary thoughts and they attain
extraordinary success on the basis of their own spiritual power by making extraordinary schemes. Only
such people experience self fulfilment. Those who see and hear about them call them exalted.

http://www.shriramsharma.com/chapter.htm

Amongst living creatures only those with intense vital force are special and great. They are seen very
rarely and whenever they are seen they mesmerize the eyes of all with their spiritual light. Many
become theistic followers of theirs. The number of people who follow in their footsteps are by no
means less. Maybe not a royal path but at least they leave behind a footpath so that those walking on it
can reach their spiritual goal. Such people experience self glory and in the eyes of others they abound in
divine powers. In the annals of history one finds description of gigantic tasks carried out by such holy
men full of intense vital force. Amongst great men they are given the title of Supermen.

If in one pan of a weighing scale you place the body, brain, family, wealth etc i.e. united with our lives
and in the other pan you place divine radiance, definitely the latter pan will go down because of its
greater weightage. They are called crown jewels amongst men. They are called human gods because
for ideals and ethics they are willing to lay down their lives for it. Their actions are ideals for the laymen
to follow. The young boy Gandhi on seeing the drama of King Harishchandra vowed that he would
become as great as this King. And in the end everyone saw that Gandhiji’s vow was fulfilled. Gandhiji
who imbibed truth and non violence truly became another stalwart like King Harishchandra.

In order to attain such an intense vital force one should study holy scriptures, associate with great
saints, reflect deeply on spiritual truths so as to imbibe soul force and create an apt mental state. Also
in order to create spiritual power and radiance there is the Yogic breathing exercise of Pranayam. But
above all these modes is Kundalini awakening. It can also be awakened by meditating on the sun. It is
not enough to look upon the sun merely as a source of material energy. Because at the soul level it is
also synonymous with God and by not looking upon it as merely a ball of fire that gives us heat we
should realize that it can imbue us with intense vital force in our psyche. In reality this is a fact. If the
radiance of God Savita can be imbibed through spiritual practise, austerities, faith and intense power of
yearning then the spiritual aspirant shall never lose hope.

This conscious electricity of our vital force is present in every pore of the cosmos. Via a strong resolve
man can imbibe it in as much measure as he is capable of imbibing. Because one can imbibe only that
much according to one’s spiritual credentials (Paatrata). There is a lot of water in all rivers. None can
stop us from taking as much water as we want. Yet we can take only that much water according to the
size of the vessel we possess. If there is no vessel then we cannot take even a drop of water despite the
fact that we intensely desire to take water from the river.

Amongst all galaxies and planets the sun is the most brilliant. This light is not like that of a bulb.
Because the sun with its own light energy makes others radiant. The moon too shines because of
sunlight. We are able to see other stars and planets in the universe because of sunlight. It is sunlight
that gives light to trees, plants etc. It is because of sunlight that buds bloom into flowers. In
Prashnopanishad Nachiketa was given a detailed version of the importance of the vital force and he was
also taught the 5 sciences of vital forces fire related to it.

In the same way the vital force aspect and energy aspect of Gayatri super power is Kundalini (Divine
Serpent Power). Fundamentally both are one. The principle of electricity is only one. It is just that –ve
and +ve are its two aspects. The life force is one but the body and vital force are its 2 aspects. Gayatri
and Kundalini are not separate because both these streams mutually complement one another. It is
said that : Kundalini is the mouth source of vital force empowered Gayatri. It is Gayatri that is the great
science of vital force. Only those who know this science are said to be true knowers of the Vedas.
- Yogachudamani Upanishad

Five powerful demi-gods are united to the life force so as to fulfill all its tasks. Because they are latent
they appear to be dead ad thus cannot be utilized. As a result a living being becomes weak and
impoverished. But if these powerful aides are activated, if its power is aptly utilized then man instead of
remaining ordinary will become extraordinary. He will get an opportunity to uplift his demeaned state
and live a life of radiant glory.

In the Kapil Tantra the description of the 5 elements has been symbolized as the 5 demi-gods :

http://www.shriramsharma.com/chapter.htm

Vishnu is the chief of space. The chief of fire is Maheshwari power. Shiva is the chief of earth and
Ganesh is the chief of water. Sun is the chief of wind. In this manner the 5 gods are chieftain powers of
the 5 elements of our body.

The 5 Pranas (vital forces) are said to be the 5 demi-gods too. In the Tantraniv it is said that :

This living being has 5 demi-gods. Because it has vital force it is Shiva too. This Kundalini aide possesses
divine energy. Its form is like radiant lightning.
In the subtle body of a human being these 5 Pranas (vital forces) are in the form of : 1) Prana 2) Udaan
3) Apan 4) Vyan 5) Samaan. It has 5 aides called 1) Devadatta 2) Vrikal 3) Kurma 4) Naag 5) Dhananjay.
These are 5 covering layers of our consciousness. Its admixture constitutes one’s personality. Based on
the high-low nature of its stature and balance a person’s maturity and special characteristics radiate.

According to the modern Gestalt psychology the personality of an individual is classified in 5 ways.
Psychiatrist Dr. Frederic Pearls says that if the 5 coverings of our personality are examined and opened
up in a scientific way, the immaturity of our character can be overcome and instead it can be purified.
The 5 coverings are : 1) cliché layer 2) synthetic layer 3) impulse layer 4) impulsive or death layer 5)
explosive or life layer. The cliché layer which commences in an immature manner, on attaining maturity
takes the form of an explosive energy. As a result such an individual starts leading an independent,
faithful, active and apt life. The 5 energy coverings described by Gestalt are none other than the 5
sheaths (Pancha Koshas) of our subtle body.

Just as the visible objects of our cosmos are made up of the 5 elements in the same way the all
pervasive consciousness harbours the vital force. This cosmos is made up of the 5 conscious powers.
The human body too is its micro aspect. That which is in the macro(cosmos) is found in the micro
(human body). The 5 vital forces found in the cosmos are present in the human body too. It is present
in a latent seed state. A seed harbours an entire tree. But the tree cannot be seen clearly in the seed.
The sperm of a man and the ovum of a female unites to form a human body. Yet if you even use a
microscope and examine the sperm and ovum you can never visualize a human baby in it. In the same
way regarding the 5-fold activities of Savitri power it cannot be said as to what is its direct nature and
result. Despite this, on incarnating in this body of divine power, the results that accrue can give us an
understanding of its power and authority.

The 5 glories are 1) might 2) wealth 3) knowledge 4) wisdom and 5) dexterity. In this manner there are
other types of 5 contexts. The 5 chief warriors of Mahabharat war were the 5 Pandavas. In Ram’s army
the 5 chiefs were Angad, Hanuman, Nal, Neel and Jambavant. There are 5 organs of knowledge. Many
such 5 fold aspects are the 5 organs of action, 5 jewels, 5 nectars, 5 cow materials, 5-fold almanac of
Hindus etc. The Pancheekaran of Vedant Philosophy is very famous.
In Kundalini awakening the 5 sheaths are dealt with and these are food, vital force, mind, knowledge
and bliss sheaths.

In Mahayog Vijnana Kundalini awakening is synonymous with the awakening of the above 5 sheaths.
“When the Kundalini is awakened the 5 sheaths radiate with spiritual light.”

The body is made up of 5 elements. Its Satvik consciousness manifests in 5 ways. 1) mind 2) intellect 3)
will power 4) psyche and 5) ego.

http://www.shriramsharma.com/chapter.htm

The 5 Pranas which are also called vital force emerge from the Rajas principle of the 5 elements. Based
on them the 5 organs of knowledge take responsibility of their corresponding 5 objects. From the
Tamas principle of the 5 elements the human gross body is created. It can be seen as 1) juices 2) blood
3) flesh 4) bones 5) marrow. The 5 special organs of action are also a product of the above mentioned
Tamas principle.

When in scientific parlance we talk of the 5 vital forces and the 5 sheaths, it is obvious that their chief
representatives pervade the microcosm and the macrocosm.

Even material science talks of 5 chief powers. 1) great power 2) lesser power 3) gravitational force 4)
electromagnetic force and 5) anti matter. The cosmic particles are of 5 types. 1) neutrino 2) quarks 3)
pulsars 4) photons 5) laptons. According to the Quantum Wave Theory all forces move as waves. There
are 5 cosmic rays viz. 1) sonic 2) ultrasonic 3) infrasonic 4) hypersonic and 5) supersonic. There are 5
covering layers of earth 1) lithosphere 2) hydrosphere 3) biosphere 4) pedosphere 5) atmosphere. Over
these is the ionosphere that goes as far as 1600 miles. That too has 5 more coverings viz. 1)
endosphere 2) troposphere 3) stratosphere 4) ozonosphere and 5)exosphere.

The 5 powers are such that they are active in the material life area. These are bioelectricity,
biomagnetism, radiation, creation, reproduction and immunity. Bioelectricity is further of 5 types viz.
plexus electricity, neuronal electricity, cellular electricity, conduction electricity and facio-occular
electricity. All these in the spiritual arena are called Varchas, Ojas, Tejas, Brahmavarchas and Manas.

http://www.shriramsharma.com/chapter.htm

There are 5 chief organs that oversee the brain muscle center and these are cortical nuclei, thalamus,
hypothalamus, medulla, and spinal cord. The juices that keep the brain active are 5 in number and they
are called neuro-humoral secretions. These are dopamine, endorphin, ceratonin, encephalin and GABA.
When the balance of these is broken, the brain function gets distorted. The 5 hormonal glands which
correspond to the 5 sheaths are pineal, thyroid, adrenal, gonads and pituitary. When we will talk of the
6 Chakras we will also talk of the thymus gland. Thus there are many cosmic and individual bodily
classifications which bring about subtle movements. These 5 chief energy groups can be called the 5
faces of Savitri and the 5 sheaths of Kundalini. If even a few of them are balanced properly via apt
control then it is like the 5 demi-gods of the 5 worlds showering flowers on such a person who is full of
divine powers. The result of Kundalini awakening is full of such special benefits.
