What is Yoga Kundalini Upanishad

All of us are aware of the Yoga system of Patanjali through his work Yoga Sutras ans he is regarded as the founder of the Yoga system of Indian Philosophy.

We also have Shiva sutras which deal pretty much on the same subject.

We have yet another treatise on Yoga in the form of a minor Upanishad, Yoga Kundlini Upanishad.

This Upanishad is from the Krishna Yajur Veda.

It has three distinct approaches o the Yoga.

It deals with Chitta primarily.

Patanjali describes what Yoga is in his first sutra,

'Yoga: Chitaa Vrutti Nirodha'

Cessation of the modification of Chitta is Yoga.

Elaborating on this sutra , the Yoga Kundalini Upanishad discusses the different methods, some are different from Patanjali's.

It deals with an exposition of Hatha and Lambika Yogas.

It concludes with an account of the non-qualified Brahman,that is the Nirguna Brahman.

Patanjali found it necessary to have a Personal God, Ishwara for practicing Yoga.

The Non-dual Brahman is , in the opinion of Patanjali, is easier to realize through the Personal God,Ishwara.

Here are some more names of Hanuman.

1. Hanuman (Bhakta Hanuman)-Whoo has a cleft in the chin.

Anjani gave birth to Hanuman. After birth, thinking that the rising sun was a golden fruit He leapt into the sky for it.

That day being a solar eclipse (parvatithi) Rahu (the dragon’s head) had come to engulf the sun.

Thinking that Hanuman was another Rahu Lord Indra attacked Him with His thunderbolt.

It struck Hanuman’s chin (hanuvati) which got cut and developed a cleft.

Thus he acquired the name Hanuman.
