Misconceptions

A rising of Kundalini Shakti is a blessed responsibility that initiates the individual's inner spiritual development. It requires skillful, loving adherence to spiritual life for the individual to comfortably advance. With sincerity and discernment, one can properly prepare for a healthy rising, correct a rising that is misdirected or blocked, and be guided to a complete rising. Such a Kundalini rising becomes a pleasant spiritual process eventually culminating in spiritual realization. That is the Divine design of the human being and the purpose of life. PKYC is dedicated to assisting aspirants to succeed in this sacred effort.
