The concepts of Kundalini and Chakras are derived from the ancient wisdom of the Tantras. We normally associated all yoga-related knowledge with Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. In the yoga sutras, Patanjali did not mention about the kundalini or the chakras because his main focus was to control the fluctuations of the mind through meditative practices. Subsequently, the practice of Hatha Yoga was developed and presented in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika (HYP) by Swatmarama. The HYP combined the ancient practices of tantra along with the concepts from Yoga Sutras which is what is currently practiced as Hatha Yoga by most practitioners of yoga.
In this audio recording from the recently concluded 21-day yoga program, I have tried to capture some of the basic concepts related to Kundalini, Chakras and the practice of Bandhas. I would love to get your feedback.
I am very keen on activating kundalini shakti, can you please let me know how to start it, as I have read and heard it is dangerous to do on our own.
Hi Shreyas, please see my response on the other blog post. Thanks.
