Correlation between Shatchakra and Kundalini in Context of Yogic Science

The word Chakra in sanskrit means circle, wheel, something round and spinning. Chakras are Muladhara, Swadisthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishudda, and Ajna forms energy circuit along the spinal column in region of five major nerve plexuses. These Chakras receive energy from the higher levels and transmute it throughout mind and body. The Chakras are centres of Shakti as vital force. In other words, these are centres of Prana shakti manifested by Prana vayu in the living body, the presiding Devatas of which are the names for the universal consciousness as it manifests in the form of these centres. The Chakras are not perceptible to the gross senses. Even if they were perceptible in the living body which they help to organise, they disappear with the disintegration of organism at death. The Nadis which emerge from each Chakra carry Prana in both directions. There is a forward and backward Pranic motion in the Nadis, analogous to the flow of alternating current in electrical wires. The outgoing communication and the incoming reaction enter and leave the Chakra in the form of this Pranic flow in the corresponding Nadi. When lower Chakras of the body vibrate slowly, the higher ones at the throat and head have higher frequencies. Swami Muktibodhananda says that the rate of vibration at each Chakra in turn affects the functioning of glands and organs to which it is connected, thus influencing the entire body structure as well as the metabolism. Kundalini is a primal energy vitalising the human organism in its most subtle form. It's manifestation is in the form of highest consciousness and in its gross form it manifests as sexual energy. Kundalini can be most scientifically interpreted as latent potential energy which when manifested in its kinetic form opens up the dormant non functionally cells of the brain, for now a days human being use only about 1 10th of actual brain's capacity, the remaining 90 of brain is thus silent.
