INDIA- A HOLY LAND ON EARTH
India is a motherland of several religions. The unflinching religious faith of people makes India distinct from other nations. Different religious faiths are prevailing at different parts of India. What could be the reason for these diverse religious beliefs prevalent in India? This question made me to think and come to some conclusions. I take the privilege of sharing my conclusions with readers.
In order to liberate the individual soul from the cycle of birth and death the ancient seers of India gave different methods of spiritual practices to different people to suit their mind and situation. Karma yoga, Bakthi yoga, Gnana yoga and Raja yoga are such methods. Kundalini yoga is also one of such methods. There are three major Nadis (Energy channels) in human body. They are called Ida Nadi, Pingala Nadi and Sushmana Nadi. The Ida Nadi is located in the left side of the body. Pingala Nadi is located in the right side and the Sushmana Nadi is located at the centre of the body.
There are seven charkas (Energy centers) in the body. The first charka is located at the base of spinal cord which is called Muladhara charka. The second charka is located just below the naval which is called Swathisthana charka. The third charka is around the naval and it is called as Manipuraka charka. The fourth one is around the heart and it is called as Anahata charka. The fifth charka is in the throat which is called Visuddhi. The sixth one at the centre of eye brows and it is called as Agneya. The seventh charka is at the top of the head and it is called as Sahasrara. The presiding deities of these seven charkas are given below.

Sahasrara - Kalki (or) Sadasiva
The serpent power which is coiled around Muladhara chakra is comparable to a virgin lady. Virgin lady is called Kanya or Gowri in Sanskrit. The union of virgin Gowri with lord Siva is called Yoga. Yoga means union of two. Marriage also unites a man and woman. The aim of kundalini yoga is to raise the Gowri kundalini from Muladhara and make her to unite with Lord Sadasiva sitting at Sahasrara. This process is assumed as the marriage function of Lord Siva and Parvathi at Mount Kailas.
Look at the map of India, it will appear as if a human form is standing and facing the east direction. The head portion will be in the north, the feet will be in the south. As per Puranas the river Ganga flows from the head of lord Siva. In India the river ganga flows from mount Himalayas. The Kailas is the part of mount Himalaya. As per Puranas the marriage of Lord Siva and Parvathi took place in Kailash. Therefore the Sahasrara chakra of India is mount Himalaya.
