Kundalini: Your Sex Energy Transformed

By Swami Paramananda

Kundalini: Your Sex Energy Transformed is the roadmap of the inner journey that Swami Paramananda has sketched out for humanity. Discover the hidden power within each human being and learn how to transform it to attain cosmic consciousness!

Many will question the relationship between sex and spirituality, especially those who regard everything related to sex as taboo. But do you view your blood as taboo? Then why should your sex energy be considered as such? Ignorance of its sacredness and potentials has led to the downfall of humanity. It is time to grow beyond prejudices, obsessions and ignorance; it is time to evolve towards a higher level of consciousness.

Swami Paramananda, the author of Theists and Atheists: both are blind, offers us an unparalleled insight into this mysterious dimension by sharing his own experiences with us. It is a very rare blessing indeed to learn about the kundalini from an enlightened being who has actually lived its awakening and ascent to the ultimate attainment.

“You see only sex, I see only energy.

You see its gross and crude state; I see its energy and conscious state.
You live sex and die a pauper; I transform sex energy
and celebrate cosmic existence as a blissful king!”

Swami Paramananda

Swami Paramananda (1884-1940) was a swami and one of the early Indian teachers who went to the United States to spread the Vedanta philosophy and religion there. He was a mystic, a poet and an innovator in spiritual community living. He was born on February 5, 1884 as Suresh Chandra Guhathakurta, the youngest son of a prestigious Guhathakurta family, in the village of Banaripara in the Barisal District (now part of Banaripara Upazila, Bangladesh). He began reading devotional texts at age 16, and on his 17th birthday joined a group of older men from the village in a journey to Belur Math to visit the monastery and temple founded by Ramakrishna’s disciples. There he met his teacher, Vivekananda, the foremost disciple of Ramakrishna and the first swami to teach in America. He was initiated a month before his 18th birthday, becoming a monk (sannyasin) of the Ramakrishna Order and the youngest disciple of Vivekananda. He trained under the mentorship of Ramakrishnananda, also a direct disciple of Ramakrishna, and founder of the Madras Math, a thousand miles south of Calcutta. In 1906, at age 22, Paramananda was sent to America to assist at the previously established New York Vedanta Society, where he lived and taught until 1909. That year he established the Vedanta Centre of Boston and founded the “Message of the East,” the first Vedanta periodical published in the U.S., offering articles, poetry and commentary on all religions in its monthly (and later quarterly) magazine. He authored translations of the Bhagavad Gita and The Upanishads, as well as four volumes of mystical poetry: “The Vigil”, “Rhythm of Life”, “Soul’s Secret Door” and “My Creed.” Paramananda founded four centres still thriving today, two in the United States and two in Calcutta, India. He lectured throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia for thirty-four years, up until his death in Cohasset, Massachusetts on June 21, 1940, aged 56.

PREFACE

The human being, who is a replica of the universe in miniature and image of the Creator, must certainly conceal something super human. Otherwise, how could we harness and ride on the elements? The modern achievements of mankind, the fascinating space research, the powerful technology available today – all these testify the heights reached by human consciousness. But are we limited only to material and technological progress?

My own experience is that we can reach heights that most human beings cannot even imagine. What about knowledge which is extra-sensorial, non-material and of subtle dimensions? What about knowledge of the inner being, of the mind and its levels of consciousness? If the human mind is less sullied and more aware, then Nature will readily offer herself to facilitate our evolution and make us realise that we are endowed with infinite potentials.

Seers have been revelling in the esoteric truths about matter and energy and their interplay in existence since yore. But this is the age of science and technology, and the modern technocratic mind needs plausible proof of what enlightened beings live naturally and spontaneously.

As I always state in my works and discourses, a human being is only about 4.5% conscious. Imagine the impact of the 95.5% unconsciousness on his psyche. There are layers and layers in his palace not even known to him – where he has never delved. He has never even thought that in his palace, he possesses rooms filled up with luminous gems and treasures that can transform his entire existence. How unfortunate! A king dies like a pauper.

This is why I call out to mankind: discover your palace and the treasure within. The Kingdom of Heaven is within you, said Jesus (New Testament, Luke 17:20-21). Your being is that palace. Do not forget that it is the replica of the cosmos. The mind conceals immense potentials. Digging deep within through meditation will reveal pure consciousness, which is the summum bonum of all powers that exist in the cosmos.

This inner journey links all the forces of your existence, combines the potentials of your seven bodies and makes you jubilate in the play of cosmic consciousness. The celestial blissful union that you have been unknowingly seeking in sex for many lives can be attained only through this inner journey. To start it, you need to open the grand gate of your inner world.

The key is kundalini shakti – your sex energy transformed! The mysterious energy that sends waves of thrills and vibrations through every particle of existence is sought by advanced seekers and yogis who hold it in great awe and reverence. It will stand demystified only after we venture on its search in the inner world with the help of an enlightened being. Once the kundalini reaches its destination, all the gymnastics of mind in the pursuit of bliss in sex will come to an end. Satiated, man will relish divinity. Creativity, equanimity, beauty, bliss, peace and love will flow spontaneously from his being.

Awake! Realise! Discover your inner kingdom and celebrate life! Become a song and dance – that is the greatest gratitude to life.

INTRODUCTION

Towards Cosmic Consciousness

I have been calling out to people for decades that there is a pertinent need to expand their consciousness. It is this low level of consciousness that is responsible for all known human conflicts, confusions and miseries that are reflected outside in society.

Science says that only one tenth of the human brain is active at a given time. The rest is inactive and dormant. But what about the mind itself? It is the mind that operates everything through the brain, the latter being only an instrument. If the brain itself is not fully utilised, the mind is even less.

You may have an electrical network connected to the main electricity supply in your house, but you require switching on to energise the bulb so that it spreads light. The same applies to the human mind. When there is a whole palace filled with the best luminaries of the world, why use only one or two miserable lamps? This is what man is actually doing when he uses only 4.5% of the light or consciousness in his life. This is visible through his follies, mad actions, evil traits and heart-rending sufferings caused to others. Whatever we have achieved until now, the human mind still has about 95.5% of potential that has not been explored and utilised. Fortunately, there have always been a few rare birds on this globe who use more than 4.5%, otherwise great discoveries and insights would not exist.

How can one go beyond this self-imposed limitation? This is the master key that I wish to hand over to humanity – the science of kundalini. In the past, a few seers have genuinely attempted to offer this gift. But nowadays, there are many business mongers who are misusing the word ‘kundalini’ to extort money from ignorant people. Beware, I say to such frauds! Beware, I say to seekers! Do not become greedy and dream of attaining the solemn grace of kundalini overnight. It cannot be purchased through fee-paying lessons or obtained by hook or by crook. We are here referring to the energy endowed to the human being to enable him attain excellence and perfection.

Transformed sex energy is itself kundalini power. The awakening of the kundalini and its ascent leads to the expansion of consciousness. It is the culmination of many lives’ search, spiritual practice, dedication, sacrifice, divine grace and the blessings of the master. Out of reverence and humility, the kundalini is called Mother Kundalini, Mother Energy or Kundalini Shakti, and thus the use of the pronoun ‘she’ when referring to the kundalini. Here too, we shall mostly use the feminine pronoun to denote the kundalini.

In this book, I will take you on an inner journey starting with the awakening of kundalini and culminating into perfect union with existence – expansion of consciousness to its fullest attainment, that is, cosmic consciousness. So, delve into this book with the spirit of reverence to the sacred energy that leads to ineffable peace, eternal bliss and cosmic consciousness and even beyond.

We bow down to that Supreme Energy which lies within us and is the very energy that has become the universe. As goes the Hindu prayer, Ya Devi sarva bhuteshu Shakti rupena sansthitha, namastasyey, namastasyey, namastasyey, namo namaha – Salutations to the Goddess who is the Mother of all forms of matter and exists as Energy in all!

KUNDALINI

The Secret behind the Expansion of Consciousness

What is the kundalini? Put very simply and directly, it is the sex energy in its transformed state.

Who could possibly believe that the kundalini is the most essential component of the spiritual science! Yet it is so much misunderstood, with lots of misconceptions associated with it. At this juncture of human evolution, there is much hullabaloo around the kundalini. It has become a popular concept among people who think they are spiritual. They talk about chakras, kundalini, cosmic energy, prana and so on without understanding what all this means.

Much has been written on the kundalini, but few people know that the kundalini is only a means, while the aim is union or cosmic consciousness. Some individuals are under the illusion that they know about the kundalini and even teach methods to awaken it while in reality they are ignorant about the subject. I have experienced the kundalini fully and therefore I can ascertain the truth about it.

Reviews for Kundalini

[kushal kumar · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

AWESOME BOOK, I READ IT IN ONE GO....TOOK 8 HOURS TO READ IT...WORTH READING

[Lovely L · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The content of the book was enlightening , I just wished the author wrote more about how to use sexual energy for awakening. The explanation about it was vague for me too.

[Leyland Burgess · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Explains the fundamentals. Concerning "powers" or attainments, I fail to understand the point of final realization that one is immortal and divine, and needs nothing. At that stage ie god stage one is in my mortal understanding alone and lonely. Christian doctrine says god made man to know him, to love him, to serve him and be happy with him. This would seem to be the case of a God who is/was lonely and alone. Of course Christian doctrine is not the final word or proof...

A very eye-opening book that leads me to see through the unknown.
So, Thank you for this amazing book.

[Baloiu Alexandru · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

There are some contradictory paragraphs; but overall an easy and interesting lecture.

[Subha Ganesh · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The overall content was simple and easy to understand and is good, but the only thing for issue was the author mentioning that kundalini awakening is enlightenment. In fact there is many mentions all over the books that kundalini awakening and samadhi is one and the same but it must be known that one has to transcend through samadhi to get enlightenment or reaching the 5th dimension.

[Ericken Ellerbee · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I don't usually listen to authors who bash other spiritual teachers and uses them as stepping stones to create a book. I was shock when it'd said, "-there is much hullabaloo around the kundalini. It has become a popular concept among people who think they are spiritual. They talk about chakras, kundalini, cosmic energy, prana and so on without understanding what all this means." This author had just threw other spiritual teachers under the bus. Very inappropriate for someone who suppose to be spiritual.
Some nerve saying, "Who think they are spiritual". Really? You say these things because you disagree with other spiritual beliefs? That is very insulting to the spiritual community and very childish and not so spiritual on the author side. Other then that this book is gold and legit. And anyone who truely want to understand the truth of what kundalini is and its spiritual path then this is a must read.
