ANAHATA |
When the pranas start flowing in Sushumna Nadi upto Manipoora chakra then many seed alphabet sounds automatically appear in the fourth chakra. The generation of sound depends upon the shape and the breadth of different Nadies. The more the pressure of the air on the chakra the greater is the clarity of the seed alphabet. It is called Anahata, Chakra, because the sound of the seed alphabets is generated without external frictions. The anahada sound originates in this chakra. The details of anahata chakra are as follows: Tatwa. Air. Seed Yam Vehicle Deer The Governing god Lord Shiva. The Governing Power Lakini Yantra Hexagone Colour Green Petals 12=from kam to Tham(in blue or red colour) Situation in the heart region behind sushumna. The place
of the air is in Anahata chakra. The heat generated by the flame of fire
automatically lends velocity to the air to generate sounds. The place
of ait above the Manipoora has been fixed by nature so that the sadhaka
burns the water in the body by the fire and by medium of air it can be
directed to various places. If the quantum of fire is increased in the
Manipoora and the pressure of air is accordingly increased in the region
of the heart the twelve seed alphabets manifest their form but pressure
and fire are needed. The fire is generated by activating the Manipoora
chakra and for creating pressure of air in the body, it is essential to
have control over the breathing practices. The Order
of Seed alphabet visualization : |
Piercing
by the Kundalini : 1) After stopping the Kundalini mother at the Mooladhara swadhishthana and Manipoora chakras for fixed intervals direct it to the Anhata Chakra. 2) Stop for sometime at this chakra after reaching it and gradually move the Kundalini from the left to the right. 3) When the practice of revolving is complete then make it touch the place of each seed alphabet. 4) Sometimes during this practice extreme effulgent light appears and the mother Kundalini disappears in it. This is the state of samadhi. The Jeeva merges into the soul. 5) After touching all the places direct the kundalini towards the neck region. Usually no difficulty is experienced in piercing this chakra. 6) Do the japa of Omkar and nectar drinking while practising the mother kundalini procedures. The Anahata chakra appears as shown below after piercing by the Kundalini. |
After
the piercing of Anahata the flow of prana starts getting balanced because
Ida and Pingla nadies start governing the flow of prana into sushumna. The
light of Ida and Pingla becomes visible on the right and left of the chakras
shining sometimes for a few moments. These nadies also help in controlling
the heat of the body. These generate light like sun and moon in Agnya chakra.
When the light of sun and moon joins or mixes with each other the inner
light gets intensified further. In this way the prana and the mother Kundalini
after piercing and fully activating the Anahata chakra proceed forwards
to vishuddhi. Once the Anahata chakra is activated the sadhaka can listen
to anahat sound, sound of bells, sound of seed alphabets at will. Manas
is also supposed to reside here. When the soul unites with Manas the personal ego develops and the Manas starts moving to and fro. To curb this instability of Manas, at the chakra are poised lord Shiva and Lakini mother. These twin divine powers inspire the Manas who is unstable and lurking hither and thither. It is forced to seed the Master and good company and finally peace is bestowed to the Sadhaka. By the grace of lord Shiva and the mother Lakini the sadhaka's Manas starts accepting Satwic attributes automatically. The sadhaka here equips himself with the requisite sanskaras and qualities for attaining the knowledge of vishuddhi chakra.
SPECIAL NOTE Special description : The Mother Kundalini enters the Anahata chakra
after cutting through the circles of Pam and Pham seed alphabets. Here
it specially influence the seed alphabet YAM whose vehicle is a deer who
runs in leaps and bounds with short halts. If it does not run it takes
long leaps. Similary the mother Kundalini touches the seed alphabets Kam
to Tham sometimes moving quickly as if leaping and sometimes slowly as
if in a halt The reason for these different velocities of the mother is
to warn the sadhaka that he would activate the subtle body in this fixed
time and make it move about in Anhata Chakra completely. It is essential
to do nectar drinking while doing these practices. If the sadhaka has
involved the subtle body during the movements of the mother in the Anahata
chakra and nectar drinking is going on the sadhaka shall have the vision
of Lam, Vam or Dam Vam. The intensity of light starts increasing and the
mother broadens her hood. The gaze reaches Tam and Tham and stops here
and it close its own mouth. At this time the sounds of Sham Gyam and Sham
start appearing automatically because of the flow of the air and these
can be listened to in Brahmanda. Aum Shantih, Shantih, Shantih . |
