Visions of Champaklal

Experience of Sudarshan Chakra

Significance of Chakras¹

“There are in the human system certain key centres of consciousness. They run along the spinal column, but not in the physical body. They are located in the subtle body though their areas of operation are in the physical. Each centre is a focus for a particular form of consciousness and the action of its power. The configuration of these vortices of energies resembles a wheel to the subtle vision and hence they are known as chakras. It is possible to awaken the consciousness and the attendant power—focalised at a centre by concentrating upon it....

These seven centres are widely recognised in the Yogic systems.... In our Yoga, however, we do not employ this set laboured process but open our whole being to the Divine Power, the Yoga-Shakti, that presides over our endeavour; this Shakti acts upon the centres of consciousness.... This way the activising of the centres proceeds in a more natural way.”
