Nine energy centres run from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, and each one is a doorway to the true self. Where they lie, how they work and what they are for.

Kundalini Yoga is built on a life energy that lies dormant in every human being, coiled at the base of the spine, waiting to be awakened. This piece explains what Kundalini actually is, what the nine chakras are, how a Guru initiates a seeker into this energy, and how the entire practice leads, step by step, toward self-realisation.

Most people today are familiar with the seven-chakra system. However, very few know of the complete nine-chakra system, which includes two hidden chakras that are not found in any surviving scriptures or textbooks. Only through the grace of HH Guruji Sundar have these hidden chakras been revealed to us at Aathman Awareness Centre. These two subtle centres are the Pidari Kan (Mane) Chakra and the Manonmaniyam Chakra.
