Overview of Yoga Kundalini Upanishad
The Yoga Kundalini Upanishad is one of the classical Yoga Upanishads rooted in the Krishna Yajurveda. This ancient text presents a holistic exploration of the mind — its causes of bondage in samsāra and the yogic means to transcend it. Across its chapters, the Upanishad unfolds a profound understanding of the mechanics of mental existence, the subtle body, and the transformative potential of yogic practices.
