Phase 3 | Lesson – 1
Chakras and Their Functions
Note : This lesson is meant for those in whom, the involuntary Kriyas are currently happening also meant for those in whom the involuntary kriyas are not happening.
Chakras deal with various positive and negative sides of the personality. Combination of these positive and negative energies coupled with traits and Gunas (satva, rajo and thamo gunas), they totally bind the soul to the wheel of Nature (to the cycle of births and deaths).
You should watch this small movie to have basic understanding of Chakras.
As explained in the video above, the all attachments you carry hold the cosmic energy to flow free into your system.
As explained in previous lessons of NEXT LEVEL EVOLUTION, Guru, has already entered 25% of cosmic energy into your system. It is working in your system like PURE MILK.
That pure milk works like a microchip in your system. You should let it work freely. But you do not allow it to work freely because of your attachments, desires, preferences, opinions and beliefs (which are not true) and also not having faith in the path and Guru.
It is like, imagine you go to doctor and he gives you an injection as medicine. Imagine, you, not having faith in the doctor and also the medicine. In case of injection, in the real world, it may work. But it will not work to the fullest.In terms of spirituality, the 25% of energy entered into you has already started working in you from the day one of taking these lessons. Because of the problems said above, that energy is fighting hard within you to transform you. Meaning, you are not being cooperative from within.
To allow that microchip or energy to work freely within you …
- You should look at situations that are manifesting in your life, positively
- Recognize the situations that they are manifesting to clear problems in your life and to transform you spiritually. So you should naturally flow with the situations. If you are not able to recognize those situations, talk to Shree Guru who will help you recognize the situations so you can freely move and cooperate with the situations.
- Currently, by not understanding the situations, you are tussling with them out of your own desires, attachments, preferences, opinions, beliefs and out of your individual or false ego.
- Out of all these, having love and respect for the Guru (Shree Dhakshinamurthy) and also the physical Guru (Shree Guru) is essential. The grace of Guru helps you cross those situations easily.
Chakras and their functions
You just read these functions of the Chakras. You do not have to worry about their imbalances. The functions are presented, just for your information purpose. Like the way, it is done in the world, Chakras cannot be balanced by individual effort. No one can balance chakras on their own. As per the laws of Nature, Guru is the gateway to enable the chakras open. Without understanding and following this algorithm and laws of Nature, many people in the world work so hard and also show off as if they have opened all chakras and realized ones. The point is, they still carry karma and problems (health or finances) in their lives.
There are so many healers in the world (especially from the west), many of them like witches work on chakra healing and so on. They do it for business purpose. Their aims are always very low such as quick fixes, material gains and so on. Though it is difficult to achieve them, some peace, relaxation and some little gains would satisfy those who follow them. Such healers, not only go against the Nature and its laws by unnecessarily disturbing the natural karma and energy flow of the people. Those who follow also deviate from their natural soul evolution and get trapped new karmas.
For the one who actually opens chakras, he does not have to go anywhere in the world for money or whatever the sake. Everything comes to his feet. Those who follow him, the soul evolution would natural and divine; it would rather speed up the soul evolution.
So, such healers and their teachings are purely meant to fool others and to have they do it for their ego satisfaction and on top of all, to gain money.
Such people take up all those shortcuts because, their EGO, can never bend to a Guru. Without bending nothing will come. It is very simple like, if you have to meet the CEO of Microsoft, you have to go through so many people below and then finally one day you will be given appointment to meet the CEO. That is the way the algorithm of any corporation is built. No one can cross that algorithm. Before reaching CEO, all the people in between study you a lot in terms of your behavior, your background, your business, your character, your life history and many more things they would study. Unless you pass all those, you cannot simply meet the CEO. In the same way, when GURU comes into your life, many tests happen, weather you will be with him or leave him. The tests will happen for few years together. Every time, you pass the test, you will ascend further the spirituality. The physical guru will not even talk and just remains silent watching all situations in your life.
The truth is that, the GURU himself turns out to be the CEO.
To go through all these tests, lot of submission to the GURU is required which happens out of love and devotion and respect for him within the heart. The mantras you have been chanting already (morning-evening bedtimes and all times), to certain extent, they have already been balancing your chakras. Because of this balancing act, I am sure you already started experiencing some unknown peace within. You also should be experiencing that some energy is working around you all times. You also should be feeling secured and also feel that some kriya operations always are happening in you (either in spine or some body parts or on top of your head). The cosmic divine energies and Guru connected to the path of Omism work in the background to balance your chakras automatically.
Opening Chakras
There are numerous videos on internet and books available in the market.
If chakras can be opened so easily out of all those, many should have gone self-realized in the world so far. It does not happen as explained above.
Do not go after OPENING THE CHAKRAS. This is illusion. This approach is aiming at milestones but not destination. So this approach will always fail.
Go after the . . .
- LOVE OF THE DIVINE
- Or TO KNOW THE TRUTH HONESTLY or TO KNOW THE SELF.
This is the right approach. Then, with right devotion and knowledge chakras with the grace of the Guru and Nature, they open naturally (you will even do not that they are awakened). Unknowingly and involuntarily they open up. This is the approach of Lord Krishna and Shiva.
All the other yoga centers, including several famous gurus today, they talk about them in their videos only for the advertisement purpose. Actually to open them, lot of spiritual practice plus devotion towards Guru is required and all such things explained above.
Some spiritual seekers are mad about opening them and knowing about them and they spend lot of money for all those. The truth is that, they can never open them nor they will be able to move forward in their path. Leave such madness. Without devotion and going through Guru, if anyone forcibly tries to open them, they would tend to have psychological problems, health, relationship and financial problems in life. So one needs to be very careful in attempting them.
In this month or phase, you will be given KUNDALINI mantra that will automatically balance all your chakras plus also all twenty four evolutes (24 tattvas of the soul).
So just read the information about the chakras and do not panic or worry about balancing them.
In the next lesson you are given Kriya to locate the chakras and also the last lesson (in this month or phase), you are given higher kriya of navigating through the chakras. Those Kriyas will start balancing the chakras automatically.
In next lesson, you are given the kriya of locating the chakras. You are required to practice that kriya for at least 15 days. Only after getting used with that basic kriya , you should attempt the higher kriya (the last lesson in this month i.e. “Kriya of navigating through the chakras”). Do not attempt the higher kriya ““Kriya of navigating through the chakras” (last lesson in this month or phase), without the preliminary kriya of locating the chakras (next lesson).

Guru is the higher knowledge itself in the form of Fire. The fire of knowledge is there (guru chakra) through which you think, through which you decide, through which you do things in your daily life.

- It connects you to the awareness of ONEness with source, integration of whole, living in the now, meaning, devotion. When it is out of in balance, you feel empowered, calm, valued, present to the moment, trusting of yourself and the flow of life. You see as a reflection of the divine. You will abandon ego for a higher universal purpose
- Om Mantra you are chanting is meant for crown Chakra
