Kundalini means 'She who is coiled; the serpent power or the prana

Kundalini means 'She who is coiled; the serpent power or the prana, the primordial cosmic energy in each individual which eventually, through the practice of yoga and meditation, rises up the sushumna nadi or the consciousness. In this process the kunalini awakens each successive chakra. Enlightenment, comes as it slices through the door of Brahman, the Divine at the core of the sahasrara and enters.

Manifesting a spiritual connection with the divine spirit is the ultimate goal of many forms of worship. In our meditation, we vanquish the limitations of our human form using prayers, rituals, and invocations, or we form a connection with the divine through sacred items such as statuary, imagery, or natural objects. In the Hindu tradition, devotees bond with the divine spirit through pujas and chanting of mantras. The purpose of the ritual is to create an ambience in which humans and spiritual energies can enhance each others auras. With worship for a chosen deity such as Ganesh you are invoking energies that bring wisdom and knowledge, Shiva is transformation, Vishnu is prosperity and peace, Durga is Shakti. Puja brings the essence of the cosmos together on an energetic level and is an amazing way to experience direct communication with the divine.

Every lesson or experience in life is towards uplifting your spirit

Every lesson or experience in life is towards uplifting your spirit, take it as it comes, making you more self secure, more cognizant in your own capability and not relying on others
Om Sham Shanishcharaye Namah

“Saturn is the planet of concentration, permanence, tangible rewards, tenacity, ambition, and productivity. This taskmaster planet also rules caution, delay, constriction, limitation, responsibility, rules and regulations, pain, fear, authority, discipline, control and denial.

Before you say, “Ugh!”, consider this: Without Saturn, we would see little or no progress. We live in a tangible world, and Saturn urges us to deal with reality. Without Saturn we would have no gumption, no standards, or controls, no structure – just chaos.

Saturn, the Great Teacher planet, brings maturity and teaches us the value of patience and sacrifice.”
