The Awakening of Consciousness: Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
A lecture on Kundalini, chakras, and the science of yoga.
"Yoga is not a religion, it is not a philosophy, it is not a dogma, but it is the eternal principle in this universe, like the cosmic consciousness itself."
"The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process; you don't feel it as a physical sensation. You feel happy, as if in the lap of the mother."
Swami Maheshwarananda delivers an extensive discourse on the awakening of consciousness through Kundalini and the chakra system. He explains yogic anatomy, including the 72,000 nāḍīs (energy channels) and the major chakras, describing their roles in physical, mental, and spiritual development. The talk covers the interplay of mind, intellect, and subconscious impressions, the importance of dharma, and the ultimate goal of uniting individual consciousness with the Cosmic Consciousness.
