5. Visuddha Chakra

The VISUDDHA CHAKRA is situated at the base of the throat within the Sushumna. Its

colour is smoky purple and has sixteen petals. Concentration on this Chakra enables the Yogi to

attain the highest success. He does not perish even during the Pralaya (Great Deluge). He gets full

knowledge of the four Vedas and becomes the knower of the three periods of time (past, present and

future). He becomes eloquent, wise, enjoys peace of mind, and it is said that by his Yogic power he

can move the three worlds.
