" The Knotted Journey of Kundalini Awakening "

Kundalini pushes it's way toward awakening through the psychic knots in our body. Our body is a secret of a spectrum of energies.

"According to the yogic tradition, a granthi (“knot”) is an energetic and psychic contraction preventing the free flow of prana (energy) along sushumna nadi (the main energy channel in the subtle body)"

"The granthis impede the awakening of the chakras and the rising of kundalini shakti (the fundamental force of our being, generally lying dormant in muladhara chakra)"

The 3 Granthis are
Bhrama Granthi - Mooladhara Chakra
Vishnu Granthi - Anahata Chakra
Rudra Granthi - Ajna Chakra

BhramaGranthi is a knot of Brahma, is tangle of nadis that represents the initial energies & psychic contractions in body.
Symbolizes : Attachment to material world

Vishnu Granthi is a knot of Vishnu, is related to emotional attachment, attachment to forms of compassion, and doing good deeds. It is the knot that creates desire for ancient acharas and gnyan.The individual is more connected to cosmos & have a differentiation betwn good & bad.

A special note on this Granthi, once the person open Rudra knot he is no more a samsaaari and he wont gain any interest in the powers. It is towards totally an eternal bliss of realizing the parabhraman.

Quoted from Shri Adi Sankaracharya writings

ॐ  ब्रह्मानन्दं परमसुखदं केवलं ज्ञानमूर्तिं
द्वन्द्वातीतं गगनसदृशं तत्त्वमस्यादिलक्ष्यम् ।
एकं नित्यं विमलमचलं सर्वधीसाक्षिभूतं
भावातीतं त्रिगुणरहितं सद्गुरुं तं नमामि ॥

"One who attains the Bliss of Brahman, the Supreme Joy, He who is pure (free from delusion), embodiment of Wisdom"

"Beyond the duality of the world, sky high in spirituality, He whose attention is on "I am that"

"One with divinity, Eternal, Without impurities, immovably established in truth, He who is witness to everything (from his omniscience"

"Beyond the mind(emotions), without the TriGunas (of Sattva, Rajas,Tamas), Salutations o that Holy Guru"

As per Hayagreeva, mentioned in Lalitha Sahasranama

1. Muladharaika nilaya Brahma Granthi vibhedini
2. Manipurantarudita Vishnugrandthi vibhedini
3. Agya chakrantaralstha Rudragrandthi vibhedini

Lalithambika is presiding diety who is sthit at the Bhramagranthi and passes through the vishnu and finally breaks through the Rugra granthi and ascends to the SAHASRA the lotus of enlightenment.

She resides in the 7 chakras if the body and is the SHAKTI element.

Lalithopasana & shodasi are said to bless human with Kundalini awakening. Lalitha sahasranama are filled with Secret Beejas whch were discoursed by Lord Hayagreeva the sibling of Lalitha, to the Sage Agastya. This is one of the magical tool for Kundalini awakening vedically.

The journeys key point is "Rudra Granthi" A knot of Shiva, and related to identifying the samasara the phenomena of occurence and nirvana the absolute. Those who travel beyond in their journey and cross the detachment from the sidhis only be able to untie the knot.
