Awakening The Kundalini: Mantra

“The liberation of the kun'd'alinii can be interrupted by a single stroke of a siddha mantra, a "proven" or effective mantra. A mantra is a collection of sound waves which can produce a powerful resonance, or sympathetic vibration, in the mind. The ta'ntrika scriptures say, "inconceivable is the power mantra". Mantra is, in fact, the very basis of the science of tantra; it means, "that which liberates the mind" from the bondages of Prakrti and returns it to the state of pure Consciousness ("man" = "mind"; "trae" - "to liberate").

A Siddha mantra is one which has been invested with spiritual power by a true guru. In the process of investing a mantra, the guru raises his own kund'alinii to the highest point, sahasra'ra cakra, and then repeats the mantra, giving it intense spiritual energy. Then he lowers his Kund'alinii again.

When the mantra is given correctly in the process of initiation, spoken directly from teacher to disciple, the vibration of the phrase or word will actually "strike" the sleeping spiritual Source within the individual and awaken it. For this reason mantras learned from books or other sources (even the internet!) will not carry the force of a siddha mantra.

The scriptures say; "Only that mantra which is received through the Grace of the Guru can give all fulfillment." (Kularn'ava Tantra).

From the time the mantra is given, the more frequently and intensely the spiritual aspirant repeats it, the more the kun'd'alinii rises under its vibrational impact. But when the repetition stops, it again returns to slumber. If the mental repetition of the siddha mantra continues all the time, day and night, the kun'd'alinii remains perpetually awakened. When the kund'alinii is sleeping, the individual remains in one of the three states: wakeful, dream or dreamless sleep. Only when the kun'd'alinii is awakened can the individual enter the fourth, turiiya, state, the state of non-duality.

Initiation

The Tantrika scriptures say, "initiation is the first ladder to the terrace of liberation."

Initiation is that process by which the powerful siddha mantra is conferred upon the worthy aspirant by his guru, and the disciple's kun'd'alinii is suddenly awakened from slumber by the "hit ' of the mantra (mantra' gha't).

The true guru is the maha'kaola:

According to tantra, there are two categories of yogis, kaola and maha kaola. A kaol a is a spiritual aspirant who has raised his or her kun'd'alinii to the controlling point of the pineal gland, who has achieved the union between the fundamental negativity and the fundamental positivity , between the starting point and the culminating point. "Kaola': the adjective of "kula" is ' kaola. "

Each and every sa'dhaka can become a kaola by his sa'dhana'. Maha kaolas are rare personalities. For a devotee (maha' kaola] is called 'Ta'raka Brahma''

Ta'raka Brahma takes shape to help people in the progress in tantra. Shiva was a maha' kaola. He came here about 7000 years ago. After him, about 3500 years ago, there came another maha'-kaola: He was called Krsn'a. The difference between kaola and maha' kaola is that kaola raises his kulakun'd'al inii by sa'dhana' and establishes union with the fundamental negativity and the fundamental positivity. In the case of maha' kaola, he has the power to raise the kulakun'd'alinii of others also. Kaola cannot raise others' kulakund'alinii, he can only raise his own. But a maha'kaola can, if he so desires, raise the kulakun'd'alinii of others also.

A Universal Science

Many spiritual and religious traditions throughout the ages have known this science of the kun'd'alinii and its ascent: the Chinese alchemists and Taoists, and Hebrew mystics. Some believe that the "seven churches" and the "mystery of the seven stars" ref erred to by John in Revelation represent the seven cakras. A great medieval Christian mystic, Jacob Boehme, described his own experience: "For the Holy Ghost will not be held in the sinful flesh, but rises up like a lightning flash, as fire sparkles and flashes out of a stone when a man strikes it. The Holy Spirit rises up, in the seven unfolding fountain spirits, into the brain, like the dawning of the day, the morning redness ... though an angel from heaven should tell this to me, for all that I could not believe it. But the Sun itself arises in my Spirit, and therefore I am most sure of it.”
