Free The Secret of the Chalisa by Dr. Runjhun Saxena Subhanand

discover a new Sita. She is the kundalini shakti , the serpent power, within your body. The entire life is the journey of this power from the lowest chakra to the highest. She arises from the muladhar chakra and ascends upwards. She was born from the furrow in the earth created by a plough. That’s why she was named Sita.
    The story of Lord Ram breaking God Shiva's bow to marry Sita, symbolizes how the body breaks the delusions of life to unite with the soul. They were exiled almost soon after marriage for fourteen years. The exile of fourteen years symbolizes the time needed to activate each chakra. The austerities of the exile, the perplexities of forest life were essential for kundalini to rise from the lowest chakra to the highest chakra. In fact if you see empirically, one who undergoes toughest of tribulations and failures in life is ultimately the most successful. The story of all great scientists is a testimonial to this fact. Be it Newton, Einstein or Rabindra Nath Tagore, they all could succeed because they knew what failure was.
    When Ravana abducted Sita, it depicted the workings of ego and the deluded mind. To unite the soul with the body, two things were helpful. Lakshman is the one-pointed consciousness and Hanuman is the power of the mind. They helped Ram defeat Ravana in a fierce battle.
    Everyday there is a battlefield within us, a constant struggle between ego and self. The ones who are ruled by concentration and will power of the mind can unite with the soul and emerge victorious. Those who fall into the trap of delusion are defeated.”
    “So there is a Ramayana going on within us every moment of our lives!” exclaimed Sanjeev.
    “Yes, the essence is what you chose to be at that very moment, Ram or Ravana. The moment you desire to be Ram, the entire positive forces of nature, your one pointed consciousness and your powerful mind will lead you to your success. The decision is yours, if you let your ego win, you actually lose.”
    Pawan’s explanation took everyone by the awe.
    “How can you relate this to this verse of Hanuman Chalisa:
    Sukshma roop dhari Siyahi dikhava Vikat roop dhari lanka jarava
    Bhima roop dhari asur sanghare Ramachandra ke kaj sanvare
    What does this mean?” asked Sanjeev.
    “Sukshma roop is the power of the will and vikat roop is the unimaginable gigantic form it can take. It signifies the energy of your mind. The seed of will power may be small today but when the time arises, it can assume enormous form and burn every obstacle like Lanka. Bheem-roop is the manifestation of kriya shakti , or the mystic energy that can transform the impurities of the mind—lust, anger, greed, infatuation, pride and jealousy into righteousness.
    So it basically means how your mind can assume different forms in different situations. Once you know how to control your mind, you can burn down any delusion, just like Hanuman burned down Lanka.”
    “Madam has given this Chalisa, probably to focus my attention on the mind and the heart. But medically I’m unable to find what it is,” stated Sanjeev.
    “Well if you want medical opinion, then the mind and the heart are quite connected to each other. Physiologically speaking, our mind is actually our hypothalamus. It is the seat which controls all emotions and handles all the stress. The trigger to secrete Vasopressin arises from the chemoreceptors located in the carotid body and the aortic arch. Vasopressin, as you know controls the kidney functions.
    And if we look at the mind per se, then the important part is substantia nigra of mid brain which secretes dopamine. It is a neurotransmitter and a vasodilator. Several neurodisorders are related to dopamine dysfunction,” added Bhumija.
    “Yes, true. In Ayurveda, dopamine is found in Mucuna ( Mucuna pruriens ) used to treat Parkinson’s disease. However, it is also an aphrodisiac,”Sanjeev chuckled.
    “You are going off track,” Bhumija said with stern eyes. “Important here is to focus what
