Application EPC/GDV Sahasrara Chakra
The Sahasrara Chakra - the upper part of the fourth finger corresponding to the cerebral cortex, the entire nervous system
Sahasrara, meaning thousand, is the "Lotus of the Thousand Petals" located four finger-breadths above the crown of the head.
Also called Brahma-randhra, it is the meeting place of Kundalini Shakti and Shiva. Immortality is achieved within Sahasrara Chakra. Before attaining to this chakra the yogi is unable to reach the unconscious conscious state called asama-prajnata-samadhi.
In this state there is no activity of the mind and no knower, no knowledge, nothing to be known:
knowledge, knower, and known all become unified and liberated.
- Name: Thousand petaled
- Plane: Truth and reality
- Location: Top of the cranium
When the Kundalini is raised up to Sahasrara chakra, the illusion of individual self is dissolved. The yogi becomes realized, one with the cosmic principles that govern the entire universe within the body.
Samadhi is the pure bliss of total inactivity. Up to the sixth chakra the yogi may enter a trance in which activity or form still remains within the consciousness. In Sahasrara Chakra the prana moves upward and reaches the highest point. The mind establishes itself in the pure void of Shunya Mandala, the space between the hemispheres.
At this time all feelings, emotions and desires, which are the activities of the mind, are dissolved into their primary cause. The union is achieved. The yogi is sat-chit-ananda, truth-being-bliss.
He is his own real self, and as long as he stays in his physical body he retains nondual consciousness, enjoying the play of lila without becoming troubled by pleasure and pain, honors and humiliations.
