Each time I sing the hymn Kundalini Stavaha, I experience my heart opening with a new joy, as if for the first time. For me, the words of this hymn carry an extraordinary, nurturing power, and when I repeat them, it is like imbibing divine nectar. Warm tears invariably arise from an all-encompassing love that flows throughout my being, cleansing me with its light.

With the appearance of Kundalini Stavaha on the homepage of the Siddha Yoga path website, I feel that Gurumayi has blessed me once again with her immeasurable grace. While singing the hymn this month, I have experienced a deepening in my sadhana and a renewal of my entire being through Shri Guru’s divine gift of the awakened kundalini energy.

In 2006, the hymn Kundalini Stavaha was a focus of Gurumayi’s teachings. So I learned it by heart, and I started regularly repeating it. This immediately created within me a very deep feeling of devotion toward the Guru.

One morning, I saw all the chakras, including the ajna chakra and the crown chakra. These chakras were made of a soft white light, and their form was extremely delicate. Their movements were similar to flowers opening their petals. Two distinct rays of light, one blue and one red, crisscrossed through the chakras. A constant pulsation also emanated from them, which I could feel on my own face.

All of this happened through Gurumayi’s infinite grace.

For years I have sung this beautiful hymn almost every morning. When I wake up, the melody arises softly inside, reminding me of Kundalini Shakti, and I sing the hymn by heart to myself. 

Then, sometimes on the way to work, I sing it again with Gurumayi on the recording, and I go even deeper into the hymn.

Kundalini Stavaha always takes me back to the “hub of the wheel”—the Self. When nothing else seems to pierce through the veil of maya, I listen to this recitation and the assimilation music, and then I practice mantra japa. There is so much grace.

Of course, there is always grace, but this text—even in times of great joy—feels to me like a fierce grace: a response to my longing to feel my heart’s flame that I know is within. Kundalini Stavaha wipes the mirror so I can see clearly.

And in times of contentment, Kundalini Stavaha keeps me attuned to that which is my true reality: the Self, God, Shiva… and their inherent oneness.

Like a whisper from the divine, the Kundalini Stavaha flowed through me—soft, powerful, and deeply awakening. Each word felt like a sacred rhythm, echoing through my soul with grace. It wasn’t just singing… it was an experience, almost cinematic, like light rising within. In that moment, I wasn’t just singing—I was becoming.

I have been reciting Kundalini Stavaha for over two decades. All these years, I practiced this svadhyaya with the bhava that I was worshiping Mother Kundalini, believing that she would support and guide me in my sadhana if I recited it regularly in the mornings.

During my recitation yesterday, I experienced a profound inner shift upon reaching the fifth verse and reading, “… that yogini enthralls even the Creator and Shiva.” A deep silence arose within me, and from that silence came a clear inner realization. I felt, with certainty, that this yogini is Gurumayi—our beloved Guru.

In that moment, my bhava transformed effortlessly. What had long been worship of Mother Kundalini naturally turned into guru-bhava. My recitation no longer felt like a hymn to Kundalini Shakti alone but an offering to Gurumayi herself—seeking her blessings, protection, and grace.

This inner shift has greatly increased my steadfastness in the practice, and I feel the living blessings of this sacred hymn in a much deeper and more intimate way.

Before Baba Muktananda gave shaktipat initiation during the meditation sessions of the Shaktipat Intensives I attended in 1981, we recited the Kundalini Stavaha. Since then, I have loved to recite this hymn, as it always opens my heart to our Gurus’ ever-flowing grace.

Recently, I have been delighted and grateful to open the Siddha Yoga path website and find the Kundalini Stavaha. When I recited it along with the audio recording the past few mornings, I felt grounded in prayer. This practice has established my mind in stillness and opened my heart to grace.

Reciting the Kundalini Stavaha is always fascinating to me. It has the power to energize my entire being and, at the same time, to calm my agitated mind. This hymn is a gem that I rediscover from time to time. I could easily make it part of my daily spiritual practice!
