The Kundalini, the serpent power or mystic fire, is the primordial energy or Sakti that lies dormant or sleeping in the Muladhara Chakra, that is located at the end of the spinal chord. It is also known as the serpentine/annular power on account of serpentine form. It is an electric fiery occult power, with great pristine force which underlies all organic and inorganic matter. Basically, it is the inherent spiritual energy system in the body. It consists of seven main centers or chakras & three main channels namely – the Sun (Right channel or Pingalaa naadi), Moon (Left channel or Idaa naadi) and Central Channel (Sushumnaa naadi) and innumerable ducts and ductiles.

Kundalini is the cosmic force in the individual body. In reality it has no form, hence highly of subtle nature unlike physical forces like electricity, magnetism, centripetal/centrifugal forces. It is the coiled-up, sleeping Divine Sakti that lies dormant in all beings. All of us have great potential as the vibrancy of this energy is such, though lying dormant at the bottom of the spine in the root chakra (Muladhar) and through rigourous religious practices, yoga, meditation, pranayam, & community service kundalini rises upwards.
