I shall be sending a few cantos every other day. Direct experience of one awakened in K
almost 1200 years ago. The manuscript was first translated only recently about 20 years
back from Sanskrit to English. It containes precious hints and state of ecstasy felt after the
awakening. Our K friends may find it informative. (Secrets of Kundalini in Panchastavi):
PANCHASTAVI:
May the Goddess Tripura, who is of the nature of light and sound, shinning in the forehead like the lustrous bow of Indra (rainbow) in the crown of the head like luminous white shine of the moon, and in the heart like the never setting splendorous sun- may She by means of the three mighty syllables "AIM", "KLIM". And "SAUH" speedily destroy all our impurities.1.
We, Thy devotees, always meditate upon the vowel in Thy first syllable (AIM) resembling the fine first shoot of maiden-hair (a kind of fern) just beginning to sprout which itself is of the shape of Kundalini always engaged in the work of creation (of the universe). Realizing Thee in this form man does not touch the womb of mother again (i.e, not reborn in this world).2
Oh giver of Boons! Whoever even on seeing astounding phenomenon, utters, out of wonder or fear, the syllable AI, though without the dot (.) of the original AIM, upon him too, O Goddess, Thy grace descends and from his lotus-like mouth flow ambrosial expressions full of nectar (i.e., he becomes an eloquent speaker).3.
Eternal Goddess: whoever realizes that the seed syllable in thy Mantra KLIM which is 'Kamaraja' (giver of complete fulfillment) is the same as Thy first syllable AIM (bestoer of Buddhi or wisdom) he too becomes the receipient of Thy grace and even though dull-witted becomes enlightened or wise. (For this reason) at every festival held in the memory of Satya-Tapas-Rishi, the Brahmins begin their recitations manifestly with AIM instead of usual AUM.4.
From my heart I bow before Thy third seed syllable (Sau) which is lustrous like moon and whose power has been realized by the wise in instantaneously causing flow of speech, just as the Wadwa(submarine) fire is effective in drying up the backwaters of Saraswati river, so is the (Sau) syllable effective in destroying ignorance and granting Siddhi (success in spiritual striving) without even the practice of Yoga.5.
Each one of these three faultless syllables AIM, KLIM, SAU with or without consonants, in combination with other letters or with letters written separately (in the normal order) or in the reverse order, but contemplated in whatever manner, or recited silently, with whatever wish in mind, each one of these, O Goddess, grants instantly all those desires of Thy devotees.6.
O Mother, how can they attain Seership, who do not learn to meditate on Thee, holding a rosary in Thy right and book (of wisdom) in Thy left hand, with one soft hand raised to grant boons and (the other) to dispel fear, shining white like camphor and Kumuda flowers, looking with bewitching glances from Thy lovely eyes (shaped) like petal of full blown lotus.7.
O Saraswati (Kundalini as the Goddess of learning), verily there pours out from the mouths of those devotees who contemplate Thy entrancing resplendence, spotless like unto a bunch of white lotuses, irradiating the brain and dwelling in the forehead, akin to a stream of embrosia, an uninterrupted forceful flow of words, clear and full of deep meaning, like the milky and wavy luster of the river of Gods (The Ganges).8.
Lovely women, tormented by the fires of cupid, with eyes like those of frightened young deer, in every way succumb to the fascination of those men of concentrated minds, O Goddess, who even for a moment meditate on Thy luster, (of crimson hue) covering the sky with clouds of vermilion dust and submerging the earth in folds of molten lac.9.
Blooming prosperity, as unstable as the earflaps of an excited elephant, bewitched stays for long in the abode of those (devotees) who, even for a moment, with one- pointed mind meditate on Thee (adorned) with bright gold earrings and bracelets and with a golden waist-band worn round Thy waist.10.
Shall continue....
Regards and Love to all!
