Program

The seven-day yoga course includes neti-kriya (part of shat karmas), prayer, mantras chanting, pranayamas, kriyas, bandhas, asanas practice, different techniques of meditation, Shaktipat (transmission of the divine energy), sacred fire rituals, and discussion about Kundalini yoga philosophy, all of which are taught as part of a Kundalini awakening yoga course.

This unique and mystic seven-day Kundalini awakening yoga certification course is taught by Swami Rudrakshdev and organized by Yoga Village Rishikesh Yoga Ashram near in nature's mother lap of the holy city Rishikesh, surrounded by the foothills of the Himalayas and near the divine river Ganges.

This program will provide training in the science of yoga to awaken the Kundalini and to open / balance the chakras. Kundalini yoga is the most ancient and deep knowledge of the yoga and contains the core of all other yogas and spiritual paths.

In this seven-day Kundalini awakening yoga course, the retreat will be focusing on both theory and practical, so that you can understand the practice and yoga meditation methods to awaken the Kundalini.

What is Kundalini awakening?

First, you have to know that what is the Kundalini shakti. It starts from Shiva and Shakti. Shiva refers to the Purusha (Supreme Consciousness) and Shakti refers to Prakarti (Nature). Shiva (right part of the body) and Shakti (left part of the body) are the foundation of this universe that is also represented in the form of shiv linga (shivling).

From the ancient times, knowingly and unknowingly, you are following the shivling. You can see the shivling in the museum of Vatican city, Machu Pichu, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Japan, and in all the parts of ancient Indian sub-continent.

Kundalini shakti is related to mother shakti. It is present in all the species who have the spine. It’s present in the form of a bright white female serpent at the base (mooladhar) chakra. Kundalini is always inactive from birth. When the Kundalini shakti awakened, then this energy shoots up through the spine and affects many mental and physical changes.

This is because the chakras have opened and balanced during the Kundalini awakening. When a complete kundalini awakening takes place, all seven chakras or energy centers in your body are open. Kundalini requires many years of spiritual practice, both mental and physical.

Many seekers practice meditation, pranayama, and penance throughout their life to awaken their Kundalini, but their Kundalini is still not awakened. However, by the grace of guru, Kundalini awakens in a single touch to the third eye through shaktipat( transmission of the divine energy), a fast and safe method to awaken the Kundalini. The process involves being open to energy with a complete surrender.

Swami Shivananda describes Kundalini briefly in his book Kundalini Yoga as follows:

According to the great yogis, there are three main (nadis) nerve currents in the spinal column, called ida, pingala and sushumna. Ida nadi is related to feminine energy and pingala nadi is related to masculine energy.

Sushumna nadi is in dormant form but when Kundalini shakti awakes, it tries to force a passage through inside the spinal column around the sushumna nadi, and as it rises step by step, and the mind becomes more open and all the different visions and mystic powers comes to the yogi.

When it reaches to the braham chakra, the yogi is completely detached from the body and mind. The soul becomes free from all the attachments of this materialistic world.

When Kundalini shakti is conceived as a mother goddess (Shakti) and it rises to the head, it unites itself with the supreme being (Shiva). Then, the sadhak becomes immersed in deep meditation and infinite bliss. This is stated by Paramahansa Yogananda in his book God Talks With Arjuna: The Bhagavad Gita.

Hatha yoga

According to the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Goraksasataka, certain Hatha yoga practices including mula bandha, uddiyana bandha, jalandhara bandha, maha bandh with shambhavi mudra and kumbhaka can awaken Kundalini.

Another Hatha yoga text, the Khecarī Vidyā, states that khechari mudra enables one to raise Kundalini and access various stores of amrita (nectar / drops of essence) from bindu in the head, which subsequently flood in the body.

Shaktipat

Shaktipat is a very important part of the Kundalini system. This is a simple and quick method of awakening the Kundalini. Since ancient times, this method is being given to his disciples by guru.

In this, the guru gives a secret mantra to the disciple, and together, the disciple is asked to do sadhana of Maa Shakti and Mahadev Shiva; and if any disruption or problem occurs to the disciple in awakening the Kundalini, then the guru gives Shaktipat to the disciple.

In this, the experienced and capable guru whose own Kundalini is awakened, by touching the third eye & Braham Chakra of the disciple with his thumb, or by the mental or distant hands, the energy of the cosmic mother Kundalini flows through the hands. This gives the seeker a temporary experience of Kundalini Shakti Awaken.

If the seeker is at a higher level of sadhana, then he can keep the Kundalini awake. In order to keep this active throughout the life, the seeker should practice in their daily life. Kundalini is a natural power in all spine species and human beings.

When it awakens, it goes up through six chakras and activates them. Without an experienced guru, awakening of the Kundalini cannot take place. The Kundalini enables man to consciously cross the lower planes and it ultimately merges into the universal cosmic power of which it is a part, and which also is at times described as Kundalini.

The important point is that the awakened Kundalini is helpful only up to a certain degree, after which, it cannot ensure further progress. It cannot dispense with the need for the grace of a perfect guru or master.

Retreat location

Rishikesh is a well-known place for yoga and meditation in India. Rishikesh is believed as the yoga capital of the world. Since ancient times, so many yogis, sages, and seers had practiced yoga and meditation here; in the forest of the Himalayas and on the bank of the holy river Ganga.

Maharishi Patanjali had a deep practice of yoga, the grammar of Sanskrit language as well as research on herbal medicines in the forest of Rishikesh nearly 2600 years ago. At that time, he was the first man in the world who had written a book, especially on yoga, and that was "Yoga Sutra".

He also wrote another book "Ayurveda and Vyakaran". It’s a very interesting thing that after 2600 years, of knowing about the benefits of yoga on humankind, the world is accepting the Patanjali Yoga Sutras as a strong tool of yoga practice and following it.

Nowadays, Rishikesh is famous for yoga schools, yoga ashrams, studios as well as for tourism. So many people come here from around the world throughout the year for yoga and meditation, Ganga river rafting, camping, trekking, bungee jumping, rock climbing, and jungle safari in the Rajaji National Park.
