Ty CHAKRAS (Kundalini Tantra) Muladhara Chakra Element: Earth Shape: Square Plane: Physical plane Sense: Smell Sense Organ: Nose Work Organ: Anus Name: Foundation Location: Base of the spine Sound: Lang Nb of petals: 4 Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels. Patience and greed are the attributes of this element, survival its desire, collecting and saving are its activity. Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward of energy and the three main nadis. The seed<b> mantra </font></b>is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. With her mouth open, upward, she is connected with the path of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti (traditional Indian cloth wrapped to cover the lower body) and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower (the symbol of purity). In his second left hand he holds the sacred scriptures. In one right hand he has a vase containing nectar, this is amrita the precious fluid of vital potency. The fourth hand is in Abhaya mudra, the gesture of dispelling fear. The energy, or shakti, of Brahma is called Dakini. She is in shining pink with four arms holding a skull, a sword, a shield and a trident symbolizing the forces of the creator, the preserver and the destroyer. The chakra's associated animal is Ganesha, the elephant headed god. Ganesha is the lord of all beginnings and is invoked to bestow protection over all undertakings. His skin is coral orange. He wears a dhoti of lemon yellow color. A green silk scarf drapes his shoulders. He has four arms to serve him while he acts as the destroyer of obstacles. Ganesha is the of shiva and parvati. He holds a ladu (a fragrant sweet symbolizing sattva, the most refined state of pure consciousness), a lotus flower, a hatchet. The fourth hand is raised in the mudra of dispelling fear. Svadhisthana Chakra Element: Water Shape: Circle Plane: The Astral plane Sense: Taste Sense Organ: Tongue Work Organ: Genitals Name: Dwelling place of the self Location: Above the genitals Sound: Vang Nb of petals: 6 The second chakra has six vermillion lotus petals. The moon-shaped crescent is the yantra of this chakra. The vital relationship between water and the moon is shown by the crescent yantra within the white circle of the water chakra. The aspects of Svadhisthana chakra are: procreation, family, fantasy. The earth element of Muladhara chakra dissolves into the water element of Svadhisthana chakra. Fantasy enters as the person begins interrelating with family and friends. The inspiration to create begins in the second chakra. The seed<b> mantra </font></b>is Vam and the vital breath of the chakra is Prana. Above the<b> mantra </font></b>is seated the presiding deity Vishnu, the lord of preservation, in shining dark-blue, and he wears a dhoti of golden yellow. A green silk scarf covers his four arms. He is seated on a pink lotus, four-armed, holding a conch, a mace, a wheel and a lotus. Vishnu is the lord of preservation, the all-pervading life-force in the universe. His energy is Rakini or Chakini Shakti, two-headed, four armed, holding an arrow, a skull, a drum, and an ax, seated on a red lotus. She wears a red sari, and jewels encircle her neck and four arms. The chakra's associated animal is the light grey or green makara (crocodile), an emblem of the waters and the vehicle of the god Varuna, lord of the sea. Manipura Chakra Element: Fire Shape: Triangle Plane: Celestial plane Sense: Sight Sense Organ: Eyes Work Organ: Feet and legs Name: The city of Gems Location: Solar Plexus Sound: Rang Nb of petals: 10 The downward-pointing red triangle is located in a circle surrounded by ten petals. Also called the solar plexus, manipura chakra is the seat of the fire within the body because this is the chakra of the life force. Manipura has an upward, consuming movement like flames. Identification, recognition, immortality, longevity and power are the motivations of a third chakra person. Selfless loyalties to friends and family cease as the person acts only for himself. The seed<b> mantra </font></b>is Ram. The chakra's vital breath is Samana. The presiding deity of this chakra, Braddha Rudra, represents the power of destruction. All that exists returns to him. He has camphor-blue skin and a silver beard, and sits in his wrathful form on a golden tiger skin symbolic of the tiger of the mind that dwells in the forest of desires, smeared with ashes. The tiger represents manas, the mind. The energy generated by him is Lakini Shakti, four-armed, three-faced. In one of her four hands she holds the thunderbolt, or vajra. In her second hand, she holds the arrow that is shot from the bow of Kama, the Lord of Sex, in the second chakra. Her third hand holds fire. With the fourth hand Lakini Shakti forms the mudra (hand gesture) of granting boons and dispelling fear. The chakra's associated animal is the ram, vehicle of the fire-god Agni. Anahata Chakra Element: Air Shape: Hexagram Plane: Balance Sense: Touch Sense Organ: Skin Work Organ: Hands Name: Unstruck Location: The Heart Sound: Yang Nb of petals: 12 The heart chakra is the seat of balance within the body. There is no longer any concern with attachments to worldly pleasures, honors or humiliations. Anahata chakra has twelve vermillion petals. The Yantra in the centre of the chakra is composed of two overlapping, intersecting triangles. One triangle, facing upward symbolizes Shiva, the male principle. The other triangle, facing downward, symbolizes Shakti, the female principle. A balance is attained when these two forces are joined in harmony. The seed<b> mantra </font></b>is Yam and the vital breath is Prana. The presiding deity is Ishana Rudra Shiva. He has a camphor-blue skin, he is two-armed, wears a tiger skin. He holds the trident in his right hand and a damaru drum in his left. The holy Ganga (river Ganges) flowing from his hairlocks is a cooling and purifying stream of self-knowledge: the knowledge that "I am That". The snakes coiled around his body are the passions, which he has tamed. His energy is Kakini Shakti, her skin is rose-colored. Her sari is sky-blue and she is seated upon a pink lotus. In her four hands Kakini Shakti holds the implements necessary for one to attain balance: The sword provides the means to cut through obstacles blocking the upward energy flow. The shield protects the aspirant from external worldly conditions. The skull indicates detachment from a false identification with the body. The trident symbolizes the balance of the three forces of preservation, creation and destruction. It is in the heart chakra that Kundalini Shakti appears for the first time as a beautiful goddess. She sits in lotus posture within a triangle. The triangle is pointing upward, showing the tendency of Shakti to move upward and carry the aspirant into the higher planes of existence. Behind Kundalini Shakti stands a lingam in which Rudra Shiva appears as Sadashiva (sada : "eternal", shiva : "benefactor"). He is Shabda Brahma, or the eternal Logos. The chakra's associated animal is the black antelope or gazelle, symbolizing the lightness of physical substance. Vishuddha Chakra Element: Ether (Akasha) Shape: Crescent Plane: Human plane Sense: Hearing Sense Organ: Ears Work Organ: Mouth (vocal cords) Name: Pure Location: Behind the throat Sound: Hang Nb of petals: 16 The Yantra of Vishuddha Chakra is a silver crescent within a white circle shining as a full moon surrounded by sixteen petals. The silver crescent is the symbol of nada, pure cosmic sound. The crescent is symbolic of purity and purification is a vital aspect of Vishuddha Chakra. The moon encompasses psychic energy, clairvoyance and communication without words. In the fifth Chakra, all the elements of the lower chakras - earth, water, fire and air ‒ are refined to their purest essence and dissolve into akasha. The seed<b> mantra </font></b>is Ham and the vital breath is Udana. The presiding deity is Panchavaktra Shiva. He has a camphor-blue skin and five heads, representing the spectrum of smell, taste, sight, touch and sound, as well as the union of all five elements in their purest forms. He holds a mala (rosary), a drum which drones continually, manifesting the sound AUM, and a trident. The fourth hand is in Abhaya mudra, the gesture of dispelling fear. The energy is Shakini. She has a pale rose skin and wears a sky-blue sari with a green bodice. She sits on a pink lotus and holds the following objects: a skull, which is a symbol of detachment from the illusory world of sense perceptions, an ankusha, an elephant staff used to control Gaja, the scriptures, representing knowledge, the mala (rosary). Shakini Shakti is the bestower of all higher knowledge and siddhis (powers). The chakra's associated animal is the elephant Gaja, supreme lord of herbivorous animals. It is of smoky grey color, the color of clouds. Ajna Chakra Name: Command, authority Plane: Plane of austerity Location: Between the eyebrows Sound: Aum Ajna chakra is the location of the third eye which is the conscience. The two physical eyes see the past and the present, while the third eye reveals the insight of the future. When one establishes himself in the place between the eyebrows he goes beyond all the kinds of desires that private life and impel one to move in many directions. All experience and ideas serve only to clarify one's perceptions in Ajna Chakra. The plane of neutrality (Sarasvati) appears as a balance between solar and lunar energy within the body. One now becomes one-pointed; he becomes knower of past, present and future. Ida and Pingala are time-bound; up to the fifth chakra the yogi also is time bound, but as Ida and Pingala end here, the yogi moves into Sushumna, beyond time. He is now in a state of nondual consciousness. Negative and positive, the components of duality, become equalized in Sarasvati, leaving a state of pure music and neutrality.Ida (Ganga, feminine, lunar) and Pingala (Jamuna, masculine, solar) nerve energies separate from the Sushumna channel at the Muladhara chakra, interwine up through all chakras and meet with the Sarasvati, becoming one at Ajna Chakra. This brings the sense of oneness and of unity with the cosmic laws that appear in the plane of austerity. They then again separate, running into the left and right nostrils. The presiding deity is Ardhanarishvara, the half-male, half-female Shiva-Shakti, symbolic of basic polarity; the right side is male and the left side, female. Ardhanarishvara stands in a lingam known as Itara Lingam. The lingam is shining white, like the color of light. The male half of Ardhanarishvara has camphor-blue skin. He holds a trident in his right hand, representing the three aspects of onsciousness : cognition, conation, and affection. The female side of Ardhanarishvara is pink. She wears a red sari, and about her neck and arms are wound shining golden ornaments. She holds a pink lotus, a symbol of purity. All duality has ceased. Shiva has total command over all aspects of the self in this plane of liberation, or moksha. The third eye of Shiva is called sva-netra, the organ of clairvoyance. Becoming Sada-Shiva, the eternal one, Shiva is no longer separate from Shakti as a separate male entity. Devata Shiva is the granter of knowledge. This knowledge brings the breath (prana) and the mind under control of Ardhanarishvara. The energy is Hakini. Hakini Shakti has four arms and six heads. Her skin is pale pink, and her jewelry is golden and shines with gems. Wearing a red sari, she sits on a pink lotus with her left foot raised. She imparts the knowledge of unconditional truth, the awareness of nonduality. Sahasrara Chakra Name: Thousand petaled Plane: Truth and reality Location: Top of the cranium Sahasrara, meaning thousand, is the "Lotus of the Thousand Petals" located four finger-breadths above the crown of the head. Also called Brahma-randhra, it is the meeting place of Kundalini Shakti and Shiva. Immortality is achieved within Sahasrara Chakra. Before attaining to this chakra the yogi is unable to reach the unconscious conscious state called asama-prajnata-samadhi. In this state there is no activity of the mind and no knower, no knowledge, nothing to be known: knowledge, knower, and known all become unified and liberated. When the Kundalini is raised up to Sahasrara chakra, the illusion of individual self is dissolved. The yogi becomes realized, one with the cosmic principles that govern the entire universe within the body. Samadhi is the pure bliss of total inactivity. Up to the sixth chakra the yogi may enter a trance in which activity or form still remains within the consciousness. In Sahasrara Chakra the prana moves upward and reaches the highest point. The mind establishes itself in the pure void of Shunya Mandala, the space between the hemispheres. At this time all feelings, emotions and desires, which are the activities of the mind, are dissolved into their primary cause. The union is achieved. The yogi is sat-chit-ananda, truth-being-bliss. He is his own real self, and as long as he stays in his physical body he retains nondual consciousness, enjoying the play of lila without becoming troubled by pleasure and pain, honors and humiliations.
