1. SIGNS OF AN AWAKENED KUNDALINI
" According to her manifestations Kundalini is regarded as
Kriydwati, Varnamayee, Kalatma, and Vedhamayee."
Shaktipat deeksha is therefore of four kinds according to the
above-named manifestations of Shakti. When Kundalini
awakens one invariably feels some involuntary movements of
the body, which begin with trembling and shaking -with an
intensity varying with different persons. Some experience
violent shaking of different kinds, as does a car before starting
when the dynamo, begins to work. Such physical movements
are accompanied with a heretofore-not-experienced feeling of
pleasure of spiritual awakening, and the brain becomes heavy
as under intoxication. - These are the first symptoms of an
awakened Kundalini and are followed by various signs and
experiences too many to be enumerated.
The full course of an awakened Kundalini can be classified
differently according to its different aspects of manifestation,
as Bhakti, Jnana, and Yoga. Again manifestation of yoga can.
be sub-classified as Hatha, Mantra, Laya and Rajayoga.
Therefore the yoga of Kundalini is known as Mahayoga. It is
also sometimes called Siddhayoga because it can be acquired
only through the favour of a perfect master (Siddha Guru)
without any effort on the part of the initiated. Mahayoga is also
sometimes erroneously called Raja yoga after the name of one
of its most prominent part. Readers must have come across
the mention of only four divisions of yoga, viz., Karmayoga,
Bhaktiyoga, Rajayoga and Jnanayoga. An awakened Kundalini
comprehensively covers the whole field, but here we are
concerned with the subject only so far as it
