The Sahasrara Chakra

Sahasrara, meaning thousand, is the "Lotus of the Thousand Petals"
located four finger-breadths above the crown of the head.

Also called Brahma-randhra, it is the meeting place of Kundalini Shakti and Shiva. Immortality
is achieved within Sahasrara Chakra. Before attaining to this chakra the yogi is unable
to reach the unconscious conscious state called asama-prajnata-samadhi.

In this state there is no activity of the mind and no knower, no knowledge, nothing to be known:
knowledge, knower, and known all become unified and liberated.

Name: Thousand petaled

Plane: Truth and reality

Location: Top of the cranium




When the Kundalini is raised up to Sahasrara chakra, the illusion of individual self is dissolved.
The yogi becomes realized, one with the cosmic principles that govern the entire universe within the body.

Samadhi is the pure bliss of total inactivity. Up to the sixth chakra the yogi may enter a trance in which activity or form still remains within the consciousness. In Sahasrara Chakra the prana moves upward and reaches the highest point. The mind establishes itself in the
pure void of Shunya Mandala, the space between the hemispheres.

At this time all feelings, emotions and desires, which are the activities of the mind, are dissolved into their primary cause. The union is achieved. The yogi is sat-chit-ananda, truth-being-bliss.

He is his own real self, and as long as he stays in his physical body he retains
nondual consciousness, enjoying the play of lila without becoming troubled
by pleasure and pain, honors and humiliations.
