Light on Kundalini

"Kundalini is one name given by the Yogic people for what may be called the atma sakthi inside the body. The vichara school calls the same power jnana. The bhaktha calls it love or Bhakti. The yogic school says that this power is dormant in Muladhara at the base of the spinal cord and that it must be roused and taken by through the various chakras on to sahasrara at the top,in the brain ,to attain moksha, the salvation. The Jnanis think this power is centered in the heart, and so on."

~ Sri Ramana Maharshi.
