KUNDALINI SHAKTI simplified!

Q: Dearest Guruji, can you please speak a little on KUNDALINI SHAKTI?

Sri Sri: Kundalini simply means the energy in your body.
Unless it is awakened there is no life. And in the very first kriya you
do it is already awakened. It doesn’t have to be dramatic. There are
three types of kundalini shaktis, one is sattvic. The most harmonious,
gentle awakening of the kundalini shakti. And you don’t even know that
it’s awakened, automatically you start being very happy, generous, large
hearted, big minded, compassionate, intuitive. All these things keep
happening spontaneously. Second is the rajasic type where you find this
jerk and all this drama happens. A lot of dramatic intense experiences
come, this is the rajasic way. There is no tamasic way of developing
kundalini. If at all some people consider tamasic the people who use
some powers and black magic and this and that sort of thing. But I don’t
consider it as tamasic kundalini at all but it is some spirit powers you
know. You appease some lower spirits and get some powers from them. And
then you dance for some days and then you collapse, that’s what people
do. So don’t run after some of this so called magic and miracles, many
of them are from these lower spirits. They appear to be doing something
to you and then you feel miserable later. So sattvic are the most
harmonious, best type of kundalini and it is what happens already in
Sudarshan Kriya. Doesn’t it happen? Tingling and every cell of the body
wakes up. Does it happen or not? Remember the very first Sudarshan Kriya
you did, everything awakened?! That’s it! Did you have peaceful
meditation? Did you start feeling I am not the body but I am the spirit?
Did you get that experience? That’s already happening. If you have no
experience in kriya, you have so much dullness all the time, then you
have to watch your food. You must be stuffing yourself with too much
food, number one. Or you must have indulged in too much sex that there
is no energy in your body to experience anything else. Then also it
doesn’t happen, I tell you. Someone has been very very busy day and
night and didn’t have good sleep, enough rest then there is no way that
they can experience any kundalini shakti. So these are some of the
criterias, got it? When your energy is conserved then you find that
elevation. And if good meditation is happening you should know it is
already functioning. If when meditating, inside you feel the expansion,
a calmness, a serenity, it is all sign of kundalini shakti.
