Kundalini Meditation
Hiss ! Kundali sting ego mine
With nectar poison so sublime
Piercing my rainbow Lotus shrines
Making me to myself Divine !
Kundalini bless me with thy blaze
Delusion, suffering fear efface
Spine darkness; with they lightning light
Fragrance me ! Negative karma ignite !
Oh Mother of the mystic deep !
You are Life ! its livingness you keep
Remove shadow of death from me
In Shiva deathlessly to be !
Alakh Niranjan Om Shiv Om !
Alakh Niranjan Om Shiv Om !
