HP Mageson666 said:Hatha yoga is Kundalini yoga. There are around 16 asana's in ancient Hatha and several of them are sitting. The goal of Hatha is to use banda's and Kundalini pranayama's to awaken the serpent and purify the channels and force open the center channel so Shakti can merge with Shiva. Hatha was from the ancient Vedic texts and was brought around again to counter the bogus Vedanta yoga which is much of Hinduism.
The texts state the sitting practices of such have to be done 40 minutes minimum daily. The longer taking over an hour to do such. What passes for Hatha Yoga now is gymnastics.
The goal of Hatha is to generate Agni prana and purify the channels. People are getting confused over numerous different name brands which relate to modern marketing. Much of it is endless gymnastics'.
This is a very interesting mention and is something I should be doing to revamp my practice. Gopi Krishna spent an HOUR minimum focusing on the crown chakra and meditating on it. After a long while it finally opened and his “shakti was able to ascend to meet shiva”.
You’ve also mentioned Sat Guru Subramuniyaswami did the same to raise kundalini. The opened and freed crown chakra seems to be a MAJOR key in raising it, but also a prolonged, intense unwavering focus on the crown chakra, for a long period of time daily. Which I will try consistently once I have a close mastery of void meditation.
Many different pranayamas can help and it seems the alternate nostril breathing should balance the nadis ida pingala channels, so that the sushumna is where the kundalini rises.
