Kundalini Invocation

Shree Kundalini Invocation

“When you succeed in awakening the Kundalini, so that it starts to move out of its mere potentiality, you necessarily start a world which is totally different from our world. It is the world of eternity.” -Carl Jung

O Kundalini Devi, 

though known by a thousand names

no one can merely summon you.

Yet, the scent of Love from sweet ripe souls

instantly draws you near!

Dancing as bliss,

casting off sparks of the infinite delight,

you set souls ablaze!

Ignite us like a torch

my Beloved!

Throw the sodden logs of mind and body

onto your conflagration of Love!

Release the light and life

hidden within us!

O my Beloved,

whether clothed in form

or moving through the universe unseen, 

graceful holy spirit,

protector of lovers of Divine,

You are inseparable

from the eternal One.

Embracing all seekers wandering the worlds

You usher them home

to delight in true freedom.

May we be worthy of your 

boundless love and protection.

O my beloved Kundalini,

awaken seekers to sublime play

of hide and seek!

There's nothing You can't create!

You take forms that delude or enlighten,

lead us astray or draw us into your arms.

Delivering the fruits of our choices,

refining our discrimination,

You reveal the power you've given us

to create every reality.

Grant that we remain ever vigilant

of the power we wield

and guide us to use it only 

in the service of Love and compassion.

Plucking a strand of light from you countenance,

even as it forever vibrates with OM,

You string luminous jewels of consiousness

upon this thread

and spin a multi-colored shimmering web

of mind and body around it.

There You are,

throbbing with us,

piercing the veils,

inviting us to follow your Love call!

May we remain true to even the sublest

sounds of your voice.

You've taken the form of bindu,

exalted portal shrouded in mystery,

confounding all but those empty of self.

Carry us through your gateway to the Infinite,

known only through union with You.

In your earthly domain 

You embrace your Beloved.

Taking the ancient,

yet ever-new serpentine form,

You coil round Him in pure delight!

In your transcendent abode

You both disappear!

No one can say 

where Lover and Beloved have gone!

You are the path of Love,

You reveal the power of devotion

and take form of its fruits,

nourishing your seeking self.

Give us wisdom

to take refuge in You alone.

Your inexhaustible Light illumines our path,

freeing us from all pain born of your ignorance.

You become sounds and mantras,

words and scriptures,

gods and goddesses

out of your boundless compassion

and unfathomable yearning to set us free.

What won't you become

to meet your seekers' needs?

What won't you give of yourself

to ease our way to freedom?

You generosity humbles us.

Please open your hearts to all!

O my Beloved,

There's nothing you won't reveal

to the wise soul humbled by knowing

their afflictions.

Mother of the universe,

by Your grace I now see

all forms are Your form.

Regardless of how You appear in the moment,

enemy or friend,

wise or foolish,

let me worship You 

with offerings of Loving kindess,

Joy and delight.

O beloved Kundalini,

adored form of Ma Kali,

You illumine her darkest mysteries!

Dwelling in the hearts of all my dearest,

I bow to You.

O graceful Lady of Light,

release me from the bonds of suffering,

extinguish all cravings

save the one for You

I beg You my Beloved,

Let me serve You

until all are free.

Below some excerpts from Lawrence Edwards Ph.D. Awakening Kundalini: The Path to Radical Freedom

Awakened Kundalini empowers us to see fully, to delight in all of it is as our own self and regain the direct experience of our ever-present, never broken, all encompassing wholeness. Maps such as ones of the chakras, nadis, and the subtle body help guide us on the the journey to fully expanded consciousness.  

Whether we call Her Shakti Kundalini, the Great Goddess, Kali, Bhagavati Prajnaparamita, Tara, Holy Mother, or some other name, She bestows the awareness that our body is the body of the Universe. Our body is her body. Our awareness encompasses everything from the core of an atom to the grand expanse of the dance of galaxies moving through billions of light-years of space--all of that is within the infinite expanse of consciousness. The consciousness is our being. For this reason the full realization of Kundalini is beyond the mind; it's beyond anything that the mind can fantasize. The mind is of the nature of limited knowing, and so it has to surrender to the fact that direct knowing of that which is unlimited is and experience that lies beyond it. It waits at the gates. It can be informed by it. Our mind can be infused with boundless Love, wisdom, compassion, and awareness that is a precinct of knowing, a domain of knowing, that is beyond the mind. However, it is not beyond knowing, because it's the direct experience of the Infinite that Kundalini bestows. That is why she is known as the power of revelation.
