Kundalini and Six circles

The painting represents a female form with a circle covering her midmost body part. The circle contains a diagram comprising seven triangles, six projecting and the seventh, in the centre forming their axis. Ordinarily, it is a ‘Bala-chakra’, the expression of static balance and dynamic equilibrium, for which the female energy stands. However, with a serpent figure portrayed in its centre the diagram seems to relate to ‘Kundalini’ – the coiled up dormant psychic energy, and its ascent through six ‘chakras’ – dynamic elemental centres. Six triangles represent six ‘chakras’ and the seventh, ‘Sahasrara-padma’. Kundalini, also known as ‘serpent energy’, has been symbolised by a serpent motif. The central triangle where Kundalini lay is symbolic of the base-chakra – ‘Muladhara’. It is from here that the Kundalini ascends to ‘Sahasrara-padma’ – the thousand-petal-lotus. ‘Muladhara-chakra’ is supposed to situate around the midmost body-part, almost where the circle has been drawn in the painting. It is contemplated to have the shape of a young girl’s ‘Yoni’. Inclusion of female figure in the painting is just incidental. It is to merely indicate Kundalini’s basic location and its broad form. The diagram with six triangles comprises also two initial triangles, one inverted, representing female principle, and other, upright, representing male.
