KUNDALINI AND REALISATION

Satsang with Ramana Baba (Muz Murray) in Tiruvannamalai, South India.

What is the connection between Kundalini and Realisation?

Kundalini is the intelligence of the universe manifesting as Prana in the physical organism. Which, upon reaching the brain centre, releases the Cosmic Intelligence, enabling one to be enlightened, or—to be unburdened of all the residual hang-ups which exist in the subconscious. It cleans out everything. And by such a process one can eliminate all the stuff that one would normally have to go through therapy to eliminate. But as it doesn’t happen to everybody, there has to be step-by-step therapy ‘en route’ as it were.

So when you are having Kundalini effect when things are just happening, that is stuff clearing out?

Yes, that is—if it is occurring naturally. It is the kundalini moving through the different chakras and then surges from the chakras through the nadi system at each particular level. But if you are just doing it technically, by using intense yoga practice to force the kundalini to rise, say for example, by going to a weekend workshop to raise your Kundalini, without being spiritually involved, this can land you in big trouble. For example, if enforced kundalini is rising and just bursts out at Muladhara, then you might not be able to control your bowels. If affects Svadhisthana chakra, you may lose control of your urination. If it comes up to another level, maybe you are unable control your laughing, or your crying, or your shaking limbs. On another level it can derange your brain because it is coming on too fast and it is not a step-by-step progression. It can make you crazy or even kill you.
