Woodroffe’s 1919 ‘The Serpent Power’ explains the six chakras

▶

Key facts

• Sir John George Woodroffe, writing as Arthur Avalon, first published The Serpent Power in 1919.
• The six centers are Muladhara at the base of the spine, Svadhisthana, Manipura at the navel, Anahata at the heart, Vishuddha at the throat and Sahasrara at the crown.
• The book presents Kundalini as a latent power at Muladhara that rises through the six chakras toward and beyond Sahasrara; describing all six as sensory centers is imprecise.
• Woodroffe describes Samvit as pure consciousness identical with being.
• The connection between ancient headdresses, head tablets or banner stones and Kundalini belief is the video’s interpretation, not an established archaeological finding.
