Abstract


Kundalini awakening has strong impact on human psychology. Kundalini, otherwise known as serpent power lies dormant with 3 coils with the face downwards in ischolar_main chakra the base of the spine. It is linked with Prana and Prana is also linked with the mind. Layer after layer of the mind opens up when this Kundalini moves from Chakra to Chakra (from centre to centre). Cn. Hills is of the view that kundalini awakening actually takes place in the brain and is projected to the different parts of the body. As per Teachings of Satyananda Saraswati, awakening of kundalini activates the brain’s silent or unused areas and in this way increases one's mental and spiritual abilities. In this article, the author tries to present the psychogical aspects linked with Kundalini awakening in the human body.
