1. Muladhara Chakra

The MULADHARA CHAKRA is situated between the root of the reproductory organ and

the anus at the base of the spinal column. It is here, as I have already mentioned, that the two Nadis,

Ida and Pingala, meet the Sushumna. The Muladhara Chakra is two fingers above the anus and two

fingers below the genitals and four fingers in width. It has four petals of crimson hue. In the pericarp

of this Chakra there is a beautiful triangle in which the sleeping Kundalini of the form of a coiled-up

serpent dwells. She holds her tail in her mouth and covers the mouth of the Brahma-dvara (the

gateway to the Seat of Brahman) with her head. The Yogi who concentrates on the Muladhara

Chakra gets full knowledge of the Kundalini and the various means to rouse it to action. As soon as

the Kundalini is roused, the Yogi gets the power to rise up above the ground. He gets full control

over his breath, mind and semen. His Prana flows through the Sushumna and all his sins are

destroyed. He gets knowledge of the past, present and future. He is immensely happy.
