What is Kundalini Yoga? Kundalini Yoga is the ancient practice of yoga to awaken Shakti or shaktipat. This Kundalini Yoga book teaches the control of prana or pranayama as taught by Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati for kundalini awakening. Kundalini is the known as the coiled serpent power or energy dormant at the base of the spine. Learning yoga is about more than poses and exercise but meant to lead the genuine truth-seeker to Spiritual Awakening!
For complete health and fitness, Kundalini Yoga encompasses the eight limbs of yoga which includes asanas, concentration, meditation and Samadhi! Your sadhana practiced religiously leads one to become a master over ego and ignorance. Thus, the true practice of yoga is the union of soul and spirit and this should be the first question on the spiritual path: How May I Come To Know God ?
God may go by many names in many religions. But God is not a man up in the sky! Essentially, all religions state that God is Omnipresent, Omniscient and Omnipotent. So it doesnt take a stretch of the imagination to conclude that if God is truly everywhere and everyplace then He must accordingly be within you!
Intellectually, we may accept this fact but many of us have no idea how to reach the God that may be within us. This is a question that was first positioned ages ago and there are those that have answered the question for themselves and then provided a roadmap for others to find the same. Hence, came the Birth of Yoga. Yoga is the union of soul and Spirit. It is the means to this union and the state of Union.
Over the ages have evolved many types and branches of yoga that may be more suited for the individual and yet they are all branches of the same Tree! Kundalini Yoga is known as the shakti path to Soul Awakening or Self-Realization. Kundalini is the cosmic energy present in all of creation and known as the serpent power that lies dormant in man in the Muladhara Chakra at the base of the spine.ló!
