Yogachudamani Upanishad


The "Crown Jewel of Yoga". Purpose of Yoga The purpose of yoga is to unite these two principles as so that Shiva and Shakti become one within the self. —Yogachudamani Upanishad The first seventy verses present its theories of Kundalini yoga including a discussion of chakras (energy centers), nadis (blood and energy vessels), prana vayus (life force air), mudras and shakti (power). The rest of the text describes meditative exercises with Om, asserting that enlightenment is achievable by combining Hatha yoga, Kundalini yoga and reflection on one's innermost consciousness. In the closing verses, the text asserts that just like a lion or elephant can be tamed in slow stages, various illness of the body can be tamed with asanas and breathing exercises, and state of liberating consciousness and mental fortitude achieved with higher limbs of yoga. Kundalini as sleeping Goddess, once awakened, with soulmate is like two snakes, through a DNA strand, with one achieving the Upanishads, enhances the love, to a different degree, where the nomena is not just spiritual, but rather starts to manifest, in reality, because It is the wish of the female, and the male patterns just surrender and follow, the dream of Vishnu and Lakshmi. The great Goddess (the Kundalini) sleeps with her face closing that door. Waking by the conjoint action of fire and the mind along with vital air, she, gathering her body, moves upwards like a needle through the Sushumna. —Yogachudamani Upanishad 38-39 The Upanishad states that there are 72,000 nerves emanating from the location, which is below the navel but over the procreation organ in the form of an "egg-like bulb or knot," known as the nerve center, of which only 72 have been named. The text is notable for its discussion of sexual fluids over verses 55 to 64, calling it bindu of two colors: Shukla (pale white, male) and Rajas (red, female). The text asserts that both have creative powers, the Shukla is Brahman (universal principle) and the Rajas is the Shakti (energy, power). The highest state of union is the unification of these two in Yoni-mudra, according to the text. In later verses, the female and the male continue to be a part of its discussion, stating Para Shakti as the essence of pure radiance, Brahma as mobility, Vishnu as rhythm, Rudra as inertia, and Indra as enjoyment. The text asserts that these deities are present in Pranava syllable (Om mantra) it discusses for meditation. These numbers are enhanced, as we move towards the egg shape Spirit, which holds all creation, within nada and bindu, the enhanced chakra system, connected to all the divinity from within, through the earth, water, fire, air, ether and many other chakras, protected by angels, in all human beings. The chakra realms are in all dimensions.
