A list of Yogi Masters for study

Kundalini - The Cosmic Energy
Within every living thing there is Shakti ( A Divine Mother Aspect of God ).
Now, this Shakti in its Absolute state is neither male nor female, and yet both, for it contains all sexes. But, when we talk about the Shakti in Creation we are referring to a feminine quality or attribute inherent within all things.
Shakti is the Feminine Negative Aspect of God within Creation, whereas, Shiva is the Masculine Positive Aspect of God within Creation.
Just as we have a negative and positive magnetic pole within atomic structure so does man contain both magnetic poles of energy within his physical and subtle structure.
The Shakti - or Feminine Spiritual Energy within Man and Woman is referred to in Yoga and ancient writings as Kundalini.
Kundalini is a tremendously powerful force. It is really a form of Cosmic Energy.
This Kundalini actually resides at the base of the spine in most people in a state of semi-dormant potential.
In the natural process of spiritual advancement or by Sadhana ( Spiritual Practice ) this Divine Goddess is awakened from her 'resting place' to which she has become accustomed! and gradually begins to reveal her attributes to the yogi.
Now, in every individual we have some part of Kundalini Shakti manifest within us for this Cosmic Energy is Life, as well as Consciousness!
However, through strict Yoga practice and Devotion we can learn to raise Kundalini, in her entirety, from the Base of the Spine Centre and bring her up into certain higher Centres within ourselves, like stepping stones to the Infinite!
For it is when Kundalini reaches the highest centre - the main psychic centre within every man, woman, and child - sometimes called the Brahma Chakra or Sahasrara - we finally merge our consciousness with the Infinite Consciousness.
When this Kundalini merges with the very high energies within the Brahma Chakra ( referred to as Shiva, in yogic writings ) we have a mystic union which results in the highest state of consciousness possible on Earth - Cosmic Consciousness.
Cosmic Consciousness is the Goal of every Adept.
In Cosmic Consciousness we become firmly established in God!
Kundalini is the grace of God in Creation.
This is the reason why we are here.
To Master ourselves and strictly control this Energy.
We will never know true freedom until we have learned to Master this Energy.
For this we we need Yoga!
