A Word about the Book

After the success and appreciation of my first book God and Self-Realization (Scientific and Spiritual View), published in 2002, many valued readers suggested the need to write on the practical techniques about Kundalini & Kriya Yoga for God Seakers. This book is based upon my whole life yogic experiences, spiritual studies and blessings of the great saints.

The most of the books available on this subject are neither according to the scriptures, nor concise and nor comprehensive. Some have diverted the main topic and have added too much superfluous information like the details of human anatomy, unlimited description of minor chakras and innumerable nadis in the body. This creates confusion and takes us away from the real goal of Self-Realization. Some have ignored, distorted and twisted the most essential aphorisms of Yama & Niyama and have added their own objectionable views to misguide the innocent readers. Although the subject is very vast, still I have tried my best to be concise and to cover the entire necessary information on the subject, in an easy to understand language with glossary of yogic terms.

Kundalini & Kriya Yoga covers both theoretical and practical knowledge in the search of God. It is the journey of soul back to God. It is based upon the Holy Scriptures and the direct experiences of realized saints. All the saints have their variety of subtle divine experiences of awakening of Kundalini.

I am fortunate that I was born in India in a spiritual environment and got the blessings of great saints. India is a country, which has given the greatest gifts like Holy Scriptures, Avataras, so many realized saints many religions to the world. The theoretical and practical knowledge of the great Vedas and Scriptures is easily available to the seekers of God in their easy to understand languages in India, but the west is deprived of it. In India aspirants have also an advantage to get the direct, contact, interaction and guidance of the great Gurus in seeking their spiritual path. I am fortunate to have the blessings of the great saints like Sri Paramhansa Yogananda, Sri Amar Jyoti Babaji, Sri Mahavatar Babaji and Sri Sathya Sai Babaji.

I am indebted for the great computer help in typing, editing, designing and in providing the various spiritual ideas and thoughts to my wife Vimla Devi, daughter Jai Shree and son Raju Gupta.

I am thankful for a lot of help, inspiration, guidance and discussion on the related topics in this book from many God-devoted persons like Sh. Ashok Verdhan Dewan, Ex-Deputy Director Education; Mr. & Mrs. Prem Bhandari Head of Third Eye Mission; Sh. R.K. Gupta, Deputy Director General& Head of National Informatics Centre (NIC), Dr. Archana Gupta, Sr. Scientist & Addl. Director: Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) and Mr. M.D. Goel Astt. Director Education. I can never forget the help of all the persons in the publishing and printing of this book.

About the Author

Sh. D.V. Mangla, M.Sc. M.Ed. PGDCA got his master’s degrees from university of Delhi. Since his birth he was of scientific bent of mind. He joined his Ph.D. in Mathematics at Delhi University in 1969. Since his childhood he used to study the religious books. He used to discuss about God, Shastras and the science with saints and learned people. In 1969 a divine miracle of Sri Sathya Sai Baba transformed his soul, life, philosophy and thinking. He became a perfect theist with a firm faith and conviction in God. He totally surrendered himself to God.

After that he was fully interested in knowing and seeking God. He devoted all his energies in the pursuit of God, spiritual studies and yoga practices. This book is based upon his 36 yrs. long practical experience of Asnana, Pranayama & Meditation, learned from various advanced saints in Himalayas and YSS. During 1976-78 he served as lecturer in Mathematics at University of Aden. Since 1996 he is working as the principal of a Sr. Sec. School in Delhi.

The Yogoda Satsanga Society (YSS) of India initiated him in 1989 in ‘Kriya Yoga’. He is a scholar of Science, Mathematics, Education, Philosophy and Yoga. He has the ability to correlate the Sciences, Shastras, Spiritual Science and God. The book is useful to all categories of men, believers, non-believers and the wavering minds about God. I hope this book will help the Seekers of the Ultimate Truth as a complete practical guide at home. Sri Mangla is now the author of nine advanced level rare books on yoga, you will love to read.

Kundalini & Kriya Yoga for God Seakers is a new complete, comprehensive practical guide & work-book, which covers in detail all the eight aphorism of Patanjali Yog-Sutras: Yam, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi, Bandhas, Mudras, Granthies, Nadis, Chakras, Siddhis & Riddhis, Mantras, Yantras and the sacred technique of Kriya-Yoga.

Due to advancement of culture and education the life of man has become too busy and very fast. Time has become the biggest limitation of man. To remain in the direct company of a self-realized guru at his ashram has become a great limitation. But alternatively, this book will work as an instant searchlight to guide the seekers of God, sitting at their homes at their convenient time. If followed properly with devotion the ‘Kundalini & Kriya Yoga’ will surely help the aspirants to realize God and the Absolute Knowledge. They will be blessed with Joy, Bliss, Peace and may also get mystical powers known as Siddhis and Riddhis.

Now the humanity has become more educated and well civilized. We have begun to ask fascinating and subtle questions like who really we are. From where, we have come to this temporary world? Who has imprisoned us in a wondrous body to act forcibly in this world like a puppet? What will happen after our death? Where will I go after my death? Will I take another birth? What is the real purpose of my life? What is this mysterious universe around us? Who made the scientific laws governing the matter and universe? What is the purpose behind the creation of the universe? What is God? Is it possible to contact God? How to know God and how to contact Him? The present book answers both theoretically and practically to all such eternal quarries of man. The author has explained systematically the subtlest subject in an easy to understand practical way.

We hope this book will be most useful to achieve the sound health free from diseases and spiritual enlightenment by anybody, irrespective of cast, religion, faith, age, sex and guru.

Many yoga organizations in the world are busy in teaching yoga as a therapy to cure the diseases without any concern of God. They have converted yoga as simple postures and physical exercises for the therapeutic cure of some diseases. They have thrown out God from their teaching of yoga, thinking it is useless. Are they really teaching yoga or misleading the world? This book is useful to those, who really want to understand the basics of yoga with devotion to God.

What are the Scriptures? Does any of the religion in the world have the Scriptures? Are the Scriptures myths or reality? Are the religions not lame without the Scriptures?

This is the book, you will love to gift to dear ones.

How to Use This Book

Most of yogic terms have been given in italics. Since these are either in Sanskrit or in Hindi, the western readers may not be familiar of these. To understand these one should frequently consult the glossary and the miscellaneous chapter given at the end.

Since this is a practical guide, it is desirable and more useful, if the readers read first the theoretical books God and Self-Realization (Scientific & Spiritual View) by the same author. These books will clear most of your doubts about God and will create a strong devotion for God by knowing a broader concept of God. For a yogi a firm devotion to God is a must.

Page-wise index has also been given at the end. One may search the pages to understand more about the terms used in this book.

It will be better if the readers read this book as a clean mind free from all kind of pre-concepts. A regular study of the book in a sequence chapter wise will be more useful. One should not skip the chapters.

You will be entitled to ask the spiritual questions to remove your doubts if any, if you become the member of GRF. The author will answer your queries personally by e-mail.

Introduction to Yoga

Prayer

O Divine Mother Kundalini! Thou nature is eternal Bliss & Joy of Brahman. Thou art the cause and the creative energy of Brahman for the manifestation of the Universe. Thou art sleeping and lying dormant as a coiled serpent at the Muladhara Chakra of all the human beings irrespective of any cast and religion. Teach me to awaken Thy dormant energy. Teach me to understand Thy great mystery of the spirit, mind, matter, energy and Thy wondrous creative power. Since millenniums and in my numerous past incarnations, I might have forgotten Thee due to Thy strong Maya, but I am sure, Thou art have never forgotten me even for an instant. Till now I was busy with Thy enchanting creation and had forgotten Thee. But now I am in search of knowing Thy reality.

O Divine Mother! The Giver of Supreme Knowledge, Absolute Bliss, now wake up! Wake up! Thou art the Beloved of Lord Shiva who is sitting inside the Sahasrara the thousand–petalled-lotus Chakra. Do Thou take Thy upward journey to unite with Lord Shiva to give Thy children the ultimate knowledge and the self-realization? Reveal Thyself.

What is Yoga

Yoga is neither a philosophy nor a science. It is much more than ordinary sciences. The sciences provide only little bit information about the creation in the universe. But yoga provides the realization of true knowledge and God. Yogi becomes one with the knowledge. The following questions have confounded humanity since the very beginning. Who am I? Who created the universe? What is the purpose of life & creation? Who gave us a physical body to live in and for what purpose? Can God be seen, contacted, experienced and realized? What is birth, rebirth, death, sleep, dream, meditation and samadhi etc.? Do the saints really achieve the miraculous powers (Siddhis) through yoga? Are the miracles realities? If so, how the miracles are performed? The Vedas and the Hindu scriptures undoubtedly antedate all the knowledge of spiritualism in the world. These are the gift of God to humanity. Are these myths, as propagated by some ignorant authors out of their biasedness?

Yoga is a universal divine science and not a religion. It gives answer to all such eternal questions by realizing the truth face to face. Yoga is a system of meditation, mental and physical training that is expected to give knowledge of the supreme reality. Yoga is different from religion and not for a particular society, community or a group of people. It is undoubtedly for all human beings of all religions. It is for the seeking of self-knowledge. One may say yoga is science of verification and realization of true religion of God and the absolute reality of self & creation.

‘Kundalini & Kriya Yoga’ is a mystic divine science provided to humanity by God through the self-realized saints & Scriptures, by which we can also realize God like the great saints & seers to achieve Moksha. Before understanding the Kundalini and its awakening it is important to understand the ‘Yoga’ and the various ‘yogic terms’ used in this book?

Yoga means ‘union’ of human soul with the Supreme-Soul or God. The union implies the dualism of both Divine & human spirit. Yoga is the process which liberates the human soul from the bondages of Maya (attachment to worldly things). There is no other bond stronger than the bond of Maya. But there is no other power greater than the yoga & devotion to God to destroy the powerful bond of Maya. The union of the soul with God requires the purity of body, mind, spirit and extreme devotion for God. Purity does not mean cleanliness or merely free from sexual impurity, but it is much more. The main exponent of yoga in the world is Maharishi Patanjali.

Power of the Mind

The purer the mind, free from thoughts, the easier it is to control. Three Gunas mostly control the human mind, which mainly depend upon the nature of food we eat. The food is of three kinds, Satogun, Rajogun and Tamogun. As long as Rajogun and Tamogun control the mind, it is not possible to bring the mind under our control. An aspirant mainly takes a pure Satwik vegetarian food like: milk, dairy products, cereals, pulses, vegetables, juices and fruits etc. and avoids the Tamsik food like meat, fish, alcohols and various drugs etc. A Rajsik food is allowed casually to everyone.

Emotions like jealousy, envy and animosity agitate mind. The mind can be made peaceful and calm by cultivating the attitudes of indifference towards: sad or happiness, good or bad and success or failure etc. Mind can also be controlled by strong will power, which can be developed only by renouncing the worldly pleasures, desires and attachments. Meditation and strong devotion to God help the aspirants to develop this strong will power.

The enticing advertisements of luxury comfort and excitement, enthusing consumer goods on television and media conjure up our desire to have them. The joy and happiness from these worldly attachments is temporary and false and not eternal. It is therefore better, not to watch the television too much, but watch it only as a source of necessary information like world-news only. The aspirant should also try to remain unattached to worldly news.

As per the Taitiriya Upanishad, the great Rishi Bhirgu aspired to know the ultimate reality. His father god Varuna (Jal or Water) advised him Tapas Brahma (Meditate on Brahma). After prolonged practice, Bhirgu realized that the entire existence came out of a single universal matter (ether), in matter they abide and in matter they dissolve. But his father Varuna did not approved that it was ultimate and advised him to go ahead.

But after some time Bhirgu realized that everything
