What is Kundalini ?
Kundalini in Her individual form is a dormant Divine Power, lying coiled three and a half times around Herself located at the base of the spine, with her roots deep within our biological structure. Its name finds an important place in practically all Shastras .In the Tantras and the Shakti Shastras. Kundalini is invariably designated as a goddess or the creative Power of the Absolute. In Her Cosmic Aspect Kundalini is beyond name, form and our understanding. In dealing with Kundalini we deal with an element of creation which is beyond the reach of the intellect. The Creator and His Creative Energy are one, as fire and its heat are not two separate entities but one. Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent both in Her Individual and Cosmic form. She is Creatrix, of all that exists and the Guardian of human evolution.

PART 1 EVOLUTION
Life is planned, has a purpose and is programmed to experience a predetermined target of human evolution. The brain is still in a state of organic evolution unknown to science at this time .This evolution toward higher dimensions of consciousness is occurring through the instrumentality of a pychophysiological (mind/body) power reservoir in the human body known as KUNDALINI .The arousal of Kundalini leads to certain biological changes in the system and ultimately to the manifestation of higher dimensions of consciousness which we call Mystical Consciousness or Enlightenment. Evolution proceeds from generation to generation in an imperceptible manner except at periods when the continuous application of concentration either on spiritual or secular objects by previous and current generations, accelerates this process .At present each succeeding generation is evolving in quantum leaps .The force of concentration acts as a lever to release psychic energy which increases the tempo of the brains evolution. Observe very young children of today and the outward evidence of accelerated evolution becomes apparent. These evolutionary advances are currently beyond the probe of modern science. Kundalini rests dormant at the base of spine and when due to the exercise of certain disciplines, devotion to the Divine, appropriate heredity or Her grace, she awakens. Her ultimate purpose is to activate the silent chambers in the brain giving to new models of cognition far superior to the intellect. Here we are dealing with a Divine Power centre in man designed to lead to him to knowledge of his own immortal, super earthly nature by a process of sifting purification, and biological remodelling, which ordinarily might take hundreds or even thousands of years
The whole matter boils down to this. The human brain, as a result of evolution, has now the capacity to exhibit another kind of consciousness, which can know itself or in other words, become conscious of consciousness, look beyond space and time. This State of Being is predetermined target of human evolution.
SPIRITUAL LAW
Evolution towards higher dimensions of consciousness is ruled by Spiritual Law still unknown to mankind and it is the violation of this law which is at the back of the present explosive situation in the world. In the past we have lost fourteen civilisations at the zenith of their accomplishments due to moral and spiritual breakdown which violated this Law . Their achievements are scattered all over the earth .They have already paid the forfeit for their ignorance of the Almighty Law .Our civilisation will follow the same course if science continues to ignore the fact that spiritual evolution is the real goal of life. The disproportion between developed intellects on one side of man and underdeveloped spiritual attitudes and expressions on the other side creates the Law conditions to either change or eliminate the social structure responsible for this lopsided growth. It is collective consciousness of the race which determines these changes to ensure a continued healthy evolution of the race. It is true we are our own judge and jury both individually and collectively. The Laws of Heaven operate in such a way that the mortal himself rewards, punishes ,absolves or convicts himself .If the evolutionary process were to continue in an aberrant direction humanity would produce children whom though highly intelligent ,would possess evil tendencies rather than those of benign qualities .Eventually we would produce evil monsters who were geniuses .Nature will never move backwards and let millions of years turn opposite to her goal. This morbid development in the evolutionary process always results in periods of upheaval and chaos. We are currently repeating the transgressions of the past. Man has developed as intellect giants who are spiritual pigmies with a dwarfed moral conscience .Nature as set a limit to the extent to which mans immoderate lust for earthly pleasures and possessions can go. Beyond that he must either overmaster it or fall. At the present height of mans evolution, immoderate passion and desire resulting in the concentration of power and wealth in a few imperfectly disciplined or ambitious hands can be disastrous, and act as a serious impediment in the evolution of the race as a whole. The ominous signs of the harvest resulting from the continues violation of these conditions are plain to see. The alarming proportion of mentally disordered patients in the clinics in advanced countries, and even in other parts of the world, is a grim reminder of this unwholesome crop. If we add to this already heavy count the no less large number of of drug-addicts, alcoholics ,sex-perverts, habitual gamblers, criminals , murderers ,terrorists ,tricksters , borderline cases,paranoids,neurotics,degenerates,dropouts and morons, it would make the so huge proportion so huge so as to create serious apprehension about the future of the society .It seems as if mankind has gained control over physical ailments to sink into the morass of mental disorders .It has escaped the frying pan of bodily illness to plunge into the fire of mental disease. This is an appalling situation, Our science, our technology, our planned cities, hygiene ,speedy transport, electric lighting and all the amenities and luxuries of modern life have not helped to reduce the incidence of mental derangement .On the other hand, on account of the tension and pressure involved in maintaining too high a standard of life, they may have actually added to it. All these luxuries have not, in the least ,helped to diminish crime,violence,craving for alcohol or drugs or other evil propensities in human beings. The advancement of the intellect has not been attended by the corresponding improvement in moral standards or in the elevation of moral character. This stunted growth in nuclear age is filled with treachery which can reverberate for centuries. Therefore under 10
Spiritual Law the cosmic forces are currently gathering for an initial change of our healthy social order as a portent of the shape of events to come. The arrogance of man will once again force him to his knees to petition his Creator. Man is ordained to know himself. Any mode of life and any environment, created by him through his own ignorance of Law, which stands in the way of his progress on the Path to Self-Knowledge, will be brushed aside by nature, as a flood sweeps aside any obstruction standing in its way. The revolutions that have occurred in the past in the social political or spiritual life of mankind, all bear witness to this important truth. No power can stand against or resist these cataclysms .It is only when the Law is discovered that the social, political and spiritual revolutions, necessary to conform the demands of evolution, will be affected by the leading minds of the race without violence or bloodshed. Humanity has still to realise the great paradox that we are both free and bound at the same time . In the millennium to come we are meant to become gods on other planets .This is a great potential of our Divinity.
The human mind is so constituted that no luxury and no treasure on earth can assuage its burning fever seeking an explanation for its own existence. All the heavy weight of this inscrutable mystery, all the questions posed by the intellect, all the suffering of the harrowing ascent of evolution , all the pain felt at the injustice and misery prevailing in the world, all the disappointment of shattered dreams and broken hopes, all the anguish of eternal partings from near and dear ones and all the fear of illhealth, decay and death vanish like vapour at the rise of the inner Sun ,at the recognition of the inmost Self, beyond thought ,beyond pain, beyond mortality which ,once perceived illumines the darkness of the night, leaving man transformed with but one glimpse of the inexpressible splendour and glory of the spiritual world . May the sublime knowledge become accessible to all. May there come enlightenment and peace to the minds of all.
