Fish 3/31/15 - Day 6 Granthis - the Knots

On Day 6, my teacher spoke about the 3 spiritual knots (Sanskrit - granthis) that need to become untied in order to experience liberation (moksha).

Listed here, they are related to the 3 cosmic forces of Tantric philosophy - creation, preservation and destruction:

1. Brahma granthis (at the navel chakra), opens us to creative power.

2. Vishnu granthis (at the heart chakra), opens us to the power of preservation.

3. Rudra granthis (at the brow chakra), liberates all those dark seeds that are in the consciousness as patterns stored there.

The Vishnu one can be opened at will. All you need do is to express and be open to compassion and loving kindness.

The others only open when you get "excited".

They represent profound stages in spiritual evolution. The last one is the toughest because it deconstructs the ego at its very roots.
