7. CROWN CHAKRA -
SAHASRARA CHAKRA
At the crown of the head is the
location of the Sahasrara Chakra. The Sahasrara chakra corresponds to the
pineal gland in the physical body. The Brahmarandhra, or "hole of Brahma",
is the name given to this region. When yogi dies, the prana exits from the body
through this hole.
Spirituality,
enlightenment, dynamic thought and energy are all centred in the seventh
chakra. It facilitates the flow of wisdom from within and bestows the gift of
universal consciousness.
This chakra has 1000 petals. Each of
which repeats the Sanskrit OM letters. The Crown, or Sahasrara chakra, is the
dwelling place of Lord Shiva. The unification of Shiva and Shakthi occurs when
kundalini shakthi reaches the Crown or Sahasrara chakra. The active and static
principals come together. The yogi achieves Samadhi when his or her individual
consciousness and supreme consciousness merge into one.
This experience is known by several
names in many mystical and religious traditions around the world, including
Nirvana, Heaven, Kaivalya, Enlightenment, Self-realisation, and so
on.
