"Chakra Yatra - A Journey Towards the Mystic Eye."
It curtains up with a journey of an unmanifested soul, a shakti which is still dormant like a coiled serpent. The Brahmand lies inside her, but her closed eye can’t realise its ultimate ecstasy. It is the inner transformation of Parvati, the Kundalini Shakti herself, to unite with the higher consciousness, Shiva. The quest begins when she falls amidst the mist of appearance and reality. She realises that Her creation is already created. The snake rises to the Manipurak chakra, and her utmost passion for the Supreme creator touches its peak and that is when the beauty of her lust falls rejected as His embellished ashes. With each touch of ash upon her, Parvati transcends her true self within. She embraces the holy ashes and unbeknownst she slowly gets immersed in the divine union. She becomes one with the supreme consciousness, with her quest and her desire. A gazellion doors of ‘Anandam’ unfolds leading to the ultimate bliss. This journey of realisation from lust to love, from slumber to salvation, ascends her towards the Moksha. Let the beauty of this eternity be partially unfurled and later flourish from dormancy towards awakening.
