Raising the Kundalinii by Avadhutika Ananda Mitra Acarya


The science of Kundalini is thousands of years old. It is an essential part of Tantra, the spiritual science which was systematized seven thousand years ago by Lord Sada'shiva. Tantra was never publicly revealed: only worthy disciples were taught it in direct transmission from their spiritual teachers, lest the powerful practices fall into the hands of immoral or power-seeking individuals. Thus for centuries this ancient science was passed only from the guru to disciple, and never written down. But gradually the caliber of masters degenerated and it became necessary to write the secrets down so they would not be completely lost. But when they were written, they were written in a "twilight language," that is, in allegory, symbolism, code, so they could not be misinterpreted and misused by unworthy seekers. For this reason, if we do not have a proper guide, the ancient texts may be confusing or even misleading to us today.
What is Kundalinii?



Kosas





by Acarya Vedaprajinananda Avadhuta

According to Ananda Marga philosophy, the mind is pure consciousness which has been modified by the operative principle (Prakrti) to form three functional parts: mahat ("I am"), aham ("I do") and citta ("I have done"). However, due to the continued activity of the operative principle on the citta portion there is the creation of five different layers or kosas. In order to explain the intellectual and intuitional capabilities of the human being it is important to understand the functioning of these five kosas. In addition, understanding of the five layers of the mind also helps one in the various spiritual practices which are designed to perfect these layers of the mind.

Spiritual philosophy of Ananda Marga


Spiritual philosophy

"The Supreme Entity is the vastest entity;
the ultimate source of all cosmic emanations.
The Supreme Entity, which is difficult to conceive,
is the subtlest of the subtle.
He is farther away than any other entity,
but again He is nearer than the nearest.
Only the one who looks into the innermost recesses
of himself can realize the Supreme Entity."

Biopsychology
by Acarya Pranakrsnananda Avadhuta

The process of yoga needs to be explained in three dimensions, that is, physical, mental and spiritual. Each has its own value and resources. Each must be discussed separately and finally synthesized with equilibrium and equipoise.

The word "cakra" means controlling nucleus. There are many controlling nuclei in the universe. The controlling nucleus of any particular province or state, for example, is the provincial or state capital. The controlling nucleus of the country is the national capital.
