Solar Plexus Chakra - Manipura Chakrum
Art Of The Manipura Chakra - Solar Plexus Chakrum:


Many years ago, I compiled the following information about the Solar Plexus Chakra from various online, offline and personal resources:
The Manipura Chakra According To Swami Shivananda:
“Manipura is the third Chakra from the Muladhara. It is located within the Sushumna Nadi, in the Nabhi Sthana (region of navel). This has its corresponding centre in the physical body and has control over the liver, stomach, etc. This is a very important centre. From this Chakra emanate ten Yoga Nadis which appear like the petals of a lotus. The vibrations that are produced by the Nadis are represented by the Sanskrit letters: òaü, òhaü, òaü, taü, thaü, daü, dhaü, naü, paü, and phaü. The Chakra is of the colour of dark clouds. Within there is a space triangular in form. It is the Agni Mandala (region of fire - Agni Tattva). The Bijakshara rö (raü), the Bija of Agni, is here. The presiding deity is Vishnu and Goddess is Lakshmi. This Chakra corresponds to Svah or Svarga Loka and to Solar Plexus in the physical body.
The Yogi who concentrates at this Chakra gets Patala Siddhi, can acquire hidden treasures and will be free from all diseases. He has no fear at all from Agni (fire). ‘Even if he is thrown into the burning fire, he remains alive without fear of death.’ (Gheranda Samhita).”
