 A

The text you shared refers to twelve vowels associated with the twelve chakras, but it doesn’t explicitly list them. In traditional Kundalini and tantra texts, the vowels usually correspond to Sanskrit akṣaras (letters) that are linked to subtle energy centers. Here’s a clarification based on classical interpretations:

---

Twelve Vowels (Sanskrit Akṣaras)

1. अ (a) – Base/root chakra

2. आ (ā) – Sacral chakra

3. इ (i) – Solar plexus chakra

4. ई (ī) – Heart chakra

5. उ (u) – Throat chakra

6. ऊ (ū) – Third eye chakra

7. ऋ (ṛ) – Crown chakra (lower layer)

8. ॠ (ṝ) – Higher crown chakra (middle layer)

9. ऌ (ḷ) – Upper subtle layer of crown chakra

10. ॡ (ḹ) – Higher subtle/cosmic chakra

11. ए (e) – Beyond the crown, connecting to universal consciousness

12. ओ (o) – Supreme realization / identity with Śiva

Key Points

• Each chakra is associated with gross → subtle → supreme layers, and each vowel can be meditated upon in these three stages.

• The vowels are “sound carriers” of energy—chanting or contemplating them helps move consciousness and Kundalini energy upward.

• The final stage is Śiva realization, transcending all twelve chakras and vowels.

If you want, I can make a table mapping each of the 12 chakras to its vowel and gross/subtle/supreme stage so it’s visually clear for meditation practice.

Do you want me to do that?
