Supreme Mother Kundalini
Kundalini Sakthi is the evolutionary power in the human system that starts Its journey from the Muladhara Chakra at the base traversing towards the Sahasrara Chakra, completing the journey of human spiritual evolution, the merger of Shakti with Shiva, Self-Realisation. Dr PV Shankar from the US had the great good fortune of learning the real essence of ‘the yoga’ from Bhagawan directly. Read on the ‘essence’ from the author, extracted from his book, SAI ANTARVANI.
In 1975 I was serving as a Sevadal volunteer in Dharmakshetra at Mumbai. During Swami’s visit, Swami brought with Him an octogenarian devotee called Thirumalachar, who was the author of Sri Sathya Sai Suprabhatam. I was informed that Swami had chosen me to serve Sri Thirumalachar and came to know that Thirumalachar was the Raja Guru of Venkatagiri Maharaja, and he is the one who introduced Venkatagiri Maharaja to Swami.
Thirumalachar was a great Yogi and an adept in Kundalini Yoga. Pleased with my service, one day, he promised to teach me Kundalini Yoga, the intricate yoga mudras, the whole nine yards. Most unexpectedly, Bhagawan walked in while Thirumalachar was saying this. Teasing him Swami said: “Thirumalachar, have you become a Guru? Who are you to teach him Yoga?” Swami looked at me and said, “No, Kundalini Yoga for you.”
Thirumalachar got afraid and chased me away, saying never to ask him spiritual questions again. Years later, Swami asked me, “Do you remember Thirumalachar? He used to remember you all the time. Yesterday he merged in Me.” Many years later, Swami gave me the following message saying He was teaching me the real essence of the Kundalini Yoga, not the Hatha Yoga interpretation.
The power of Divinity lies hidden within everyone at the base of the spine, coiled like a serpent in everlasting wait for the awakening moment. She is the Mother of all bliss and the Power of all powers.
Whether one believes or not, with a little effort in observation, anyone can feel the movement of Prana in the body, the precursor to the arousal of Kundalini. One may call it tingling or goosebumps or simply strange vibes; it is all the same, the movement of Prana from head to toe.
The human body houses seventy-two thousand nerves interconnected in a giant network and energy management system, which can put to shame any modern energy plant, self-monitoring, self-cleaning, self-controlled, and self-renewable God energy.
The journey starts at the base of the spine and is rooted for the crown of the head; in between, there are five service stations, knots of nerves and muscles called plexus, chakras like the transformer of an energy plant. Each chakra routes the energy to a higher, subtler, and high-frequency plane.
Each centre is a chakra or a wheel in motion, with energy swirls at the macrocosmic and the microcosmic levels. What is outside in the cosmos is reflected within the body at these spiritual energy centres.
The Muladhara Chakra at the base of the spine is the foundation where the Kundalini is coiled up. The Swadishtana Chakra the natural resting place, which facilitates the fulfilment of desires, primarily sensual, the confluence of the creative forces.
The Manipuraka Chakra at the navel region is the city of jewels, the treasure chest of human accomplishment.
The turbocharged energy for the next ascendency, the Anahata Chakra, is the home of Pranava, AUM, the origin of the origin-less sound.
Next is the Visuddha Chakra at the throat, the centre of purity of thought, word, and deed.
The Jneya Chakra (Ajna Chakra) in between the eyebrows is the command centre of the other lower centres. It is the doorway to the dawn of wisdom operated by the key, the command of the Guru.
And finally, the summit of all accomplishments is the Sahasrara Chakra, the thousand-petalled lotus radiating the magnificence of the cosmic energy symbolising the merger of the individual soul with the Universal Soul.
In the spiritual journey of man, these seven centres are also recognised as the centres of Self-Confidence (Muladhara Chakra), Self-Satisfaction (Swadishtana Chakra), Self-Reliance (Manipuraka Chakra), Self-Sacrifice (Anahata Chakra), Self-Enquiry (Visuddha Chakra), Self-Surrender (Jneya Chakra) and then finally Self-Realisation (Sahasrara Chakra).
Supreme Mother Kundalini – A Sacred Awakening Of Divine Power And Inner Light
Supreme Mother Kundalini is a profound spiritual theme that points to the hidden divine energy within human life. In yogic understanding, Kundalini is the sacred power that rests within the subtle being and rises through purity, discipline, devotion, and grace. It is not merely a force to be controlled, but a divine motherly energy to be revered with humility and responsibility.
The word “mother” is deeply meaningful because this energy is protective, creative, nourishing, and transformative. Just as a mother guides a child with love and care, the inner divine power guides the seeker from ignorance to wisdom. It awakens higher understanding, purifies inner weaknesses, and leads the heart toward God-consciousness.
Supreme Mother Kundalini teaches that spiritual awakening is not a game, display, or shortcut. It requires purity of thought, control of senses, noble conduct, prayer, selfless service, and sincere guidance. Without character, spiritual power can be misunderstood. True awakening must make a person more humble, peaceful, loving, and disciplined.
Many people become curious about hidden powers, visions, experiences, or unusual sensations. But the real purpose of spiritual energy is not excitement. It is transformation. If devotion does not reduce anger, pride, jealousy, greed, and selfishness, then the seeker must look deeper. The true sign of awakening is a pure heart and steady love for all beings.
Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba often emphasized that the greatest spiritual practice is to purify the heart and realize the divinity within. The body is a temple, the heart is the altar, and love is the sacred offering. When the seeker lives with truth, right conduct, peace, love, and nonviolence, the inner path becomes safe and blessed.
Supreme Mother Kundalini becomes meaningful when we understand that divine energy must rise through purity, not force. Spiritual life cannot be rushed by impatience. A flower opens naturally when the time is right. In the same way, inner awakening unfolds through steady sadhana, surrender, and God’s grace. Patience protects the seeker from pride and confusion.
The chakras are often described as centers of subtle energy, but they should not be treated only as technical points. They also represent stages of refinement in human life. A person must move from fear to faith, from desire to contentment, from ego to humility, from restlessness to peace, and from selfishness to selfless love.
Devotion plays a very important role in this sacred journey. Prayer softens the heart. Namasmarana purifies the mind. Bhajan fills life with divine feeling. Meditation creates inner stillness. Seva removes selfishness and expands compassion. Together, these practices prepare the seeker to receive divine energy in a balanced and graceful way.
Supreme Mother Kundalini also reminds us that spiritual power and motherly compassion must remain united. If knowledge grows without love, it becomes dry. If discipline grows without kindness, it becomes harsh. If energy grows without surrender, it may strengthen ego. But when everything is offered to God, the same energy becomes a path of liberation.
The awakened heart sees life differently. Nature becomes sacred, people become embodiments of divinity, service becomes worship, and daily duty becomes an offering. The seeker no longer searches only for personal gain. Inner energy begins to express itself through kindness, patience, forgiveness, courage, and helpful action.
Supreme Mother Kundalini finally teaches that the highest awakening is not merely rising energy, but rising consciousness. It is the movement from body-consciousness to divine awareness. It is the discovery that God is not far away, but present as love, peace, truth, and light within the heart. This realization brings deep inner freedom.
A sincere seeker should therefore approach this subject with reverence, not curiosity alone. The path requires guidance, moral strength, pure food, controlled speech, disciplined habits, and a prayerful attitude. The Divine Mother does not bless a restless or careless mind with higher awareness; She blesses the heart that becomes humble, clean, and loving.
In the end, Supreme Mother Kundalini is a sacred reminder of the divine power hidden within every human being. When this power is honored through purity, devotion, service, and surrender, life becomes a journey of awakening. The heart becomes brighter, the mind becomes calmer, and the soul moves closer to the eternal light of God.
