Benefits of Kundalini Shakti Vikasak
Swami Dhirender Brahmachari, in his book on Suksham Vyayama, had mentioned that this operation kindles the forces of the “mystic-coil”.
Our literature contains many references to this particular exercise. The Upanishads have the following to say. “In the upper region of the knot resides the coil endowed with immense power. This powerful coil is the cause of the bondage of the ignorant and the emancipation of the Yogi”.
“The best of the gods, called Kundalini, slumbers in the base in the shape of a serpent entwined into three and a half spirals. So long as this powerful coil remains dormant, man remains ignorant like an animal and any number of Yogic exercise will lead to enlightenment.” “Just as the base of the mountain-studded, forest-clad earth is the hydra-headed serpent, so is the Kundalini the base of all the Yogic formulae.
Mooladhara Shuddhi, Naadhi Shuddhi Pranayama and Mahabandha will complement the above exercise.
