It would seem altogether superfluous to try to introduce Sri Swami SivanandaSaraswati to areading public, thirsting for spiritual regeneration. From his lovely Ashram atRishikesh he radiatedspiritual knowledge and a peace born of spiritual perfection. His personality hasmade itselfmanifest nowhere else as completely as in his edifying and elevating books. Andthis little volumeon Kundalini Yoga is perhaps the most vital of all his books, for obvious reasons.Kundalini is the coiled up, dormant, cosmic power that underlies all organic andinorganicmatter within us and any thesis that deals with it can avoid becoming tooabstract, only with greatdifficulty. But within the following pages, the theory that underlies this cosmicpower has beenanalysed to its thinnest filaments, and practical methods have been suggested toawaken this greatpristine force in individuals. It explains the theory and illustrates the practiceof Kundalini Yoga.We feel certain, that to the spiritual aspirant, this book will serve as a kindlylight that leadshim on through the dark alleys of an as yet unexplored branch of Yogic exercises,while to thelayman it contains a wealth of new information which is bound to be a valuableaddition to hisknowledge of Yogic culture.THE DIVINE LIFE SOCIETY

THE FOUR STAGES OF SOUNDThe Vedas form the sound-manifestation of Ishvara. That sound has fourdivisions,Para
�
which finds manifestation only in Prana, Pasyanti which finds manifestation in themind,Madhyama which finds manifestation in the Indriyas, and Vaikhari which findsmanifestation inarticulate expression.Articulation is the last and grossest expression of divine sound-energy. Thehighestmanifestation of sound-energy, the primal voice, the divine voice is Para. ThePara voice becomesvthe root-ideas or germ-thoughts. It is the first manifestation of voice. In Parathe sound remains inan undifferentiated form. Para, Pasyanti, Madhyama and Vaikhari are the variousgradations ofsound. Madhyama is the intermediate unexpressed state of sound. Its seat is theheart.The seat of Pasyanti is the navel or the Manipura Chakra. Yogins who have subtleinnervision can experience the Pasyanti state of a word which has colour and form,which is common forall languages and which has the vibrating homogeneity of sound. Indians,Europeans, Americans,Africans, Japanese, birds, beastsall experience the same Bhavana of a thing in
�
 the Pasyanti stateof voice or sound. Gesture is a sort of mute subtle language. It is one and thesame for all persons.Any individual of any country will make the same gesture by holding his hand tohis mouth in aparticular manner, when he is thirsty. As one and the same power or Shakti workingthrough theears becomes hearing, through the eyes becomes seeing and so forth, the samePasyanti assumesdifferent forms of sound when materialised. The Lord manifests Himself through hisMayaic powerfirst as Para Vani in the Muladhara Chakra at the navel, then as Madhyama in theheart and theneventually as Vaikhari in the throat and mouth. This is the divine descent of Hisvoice. All theVaikhari is His voice only. It is the voice of the Virat Purusha.PREFACEO Divine Mother Kundalini, the Divine Cosmic Energy that is hidden in men!
