"Yoga is a science. From systematic observations and experiments over thousands of years, and from substantial guidance from various elevated masters, yogis have got a deep understanding of the functions of body and mind and the relationship of the two. From yogic practices such as meditation we experience the vast potentialities of the mind and realizes what we, and the cosmos really are. Such valuable understanding gives us a strong base for personal growth and to face the challenges of life. As such, Yoga and Intuitoinal Science is fundamental to the self-development of each student at Ananda Marga Gurukula at all grade levels."
"Pancha Bhoota or Pancha Maha-Bhoota (Sanskrit: पञ्चभूत, पञ्चमहाभूत ) , five great elements, also five physical elements, is a group of five basic elements, which, according to Hinduism, is the basis of all cosmic creation.[1] These elements are: Prithvi (Hindi: पृथ्वी, Earth), Apas/Jal (Hindi: जल, Water), Agni(Hindi:अग्नि, Fire), Vayu (Hindi: वायु, Air), Aakash(Hindi: आकाश, Aether). These elements have different characteristics and these also account for different faculties of human experience. In ayurveda and Indian philosophy, the human body is considered to be made of these five elements." ~ Wikipedia: Pancha Bhoota

Quote:The science of Kundalini is thousands of years old. It is an essential part of Tantra, the spiritual science which was systematized seven thousand years ago by Lord Sadashiva....
What is Kundalinii?
Prakrti (the operative principle of the supreme consciousness) manifests Herself in and through the cosmic order as Shivanii, Bhaeravii and Bhavanii, respectively. Her last expression, Bhavanii, is static in nature. By her influence the Infinite Consciousness becomes crudified to the ultimate stage, the solid factor. The kundalinii is the expression of this Bhavanii shakti in the human form. According to Tantra, the human structure is a microcosm of the Macrocosmic Universe. The five cakras (chakras) or subtle-energy centers of the human body are the controlling points of the five fundamental factors within the human form:
• Muladhara, controls the solid factor
• Svadhisthana, the liquid factor
• Manipura, luminous factor
• Anahata, aerial
• Vishuddha, etherial
The unit mind is the microcosmic replica of the Cosmic Mind and its controlling seat is ajina cakra; and the seat of the Supreme Consciousness in the human body is the sahasrara cakra. Thus in the human form muladhara cakra is the controlling center of the crudest factor, solid – the most static point of the body. This is the ultimate state of crude expression, the end-point of creation, so to speak. Here the momentum of Prakrti has come to an end: She is exhausted, in her most static state. It is here in the Muladhara cakra that the Bhavanii shakti in the form of kundalinii is asleep. Asleep – but not dead: here all the infinite potential energy of the Universe, the powerful fo rce that has created this vast world of infinite variety, is lying, waiting to return to its state of union with the Supreme Purusa again. She is waiting to be awakened from Her slumber, to ascend to the seat of pure Consciousness, the sahasrara cakra.
The kula is the last point of the spinal cord. “Ku” means “physical structure” and “la” means “container” So “kula” means “the container of the physical structure.” Since the Bhavanii shakti is lying; in potential form in the kula, in the muladhara cakra. She is called “kulakundalinii.”
The cakras have been described as “nerve plexuses” and seem to be related to the endocrine system, but they are far subtler than the physical glands or nerves. They are the controlling centers of all the nadiis, the subtle-energy flows within the body. The kundalinii is lying quiet in the muladhara cakra which blocks her free passage-way up the susumna. The unit consciousness came from the Supreme Consciousness and has the potential to, merge again in that Source; what separates the two are the various bondages of mental propensities, represented in the human body by the cakras. As the kundalinii rises in the susumna and pierces the cakras one by one, the bondages break, and the unit again becomes the Supreme – jiiva becomes Shiva. Thus the spiritual journey is essentially the journey of the kundalinii, transmuting energy from lower centers to higher ones – the opening of the susumna canal and the progressive release and channeling of the powerful dormant energies in the human body.
