Why did I experience Shiva's dance and Krishna's flute during Kundalini meditation despite not knowing them?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Your experience during meditation is a reflection of your inner awakening, where the mind gives familiar forms to the pure dance and melody of the Kundalini; celebrate these symbols, but remember, they are merely pointers to the deeper reality within you."
According to Osho, kundalini awakened pure dance and melody within you, and your mind gave these energies familiar forms—Shiva’s dance, Krishna’s flute—through latent samskaras in memory, even if not consciously studied. Another seeker would see different symbols. The deities are pointers; the experience is real. Celebrate it, but don’t cling; let many symbols enrich your journey.
Your inner energy turned into dance and music, and your mind used the closest pictures it knew (like Shiva or Krishna) to show it to you.
