Q: Please tell us about the #seven_spiritual_cities in India and their 
relationship with #chakras in the body..

#SriSri ~Yes. Seven cities in India correspond to seven centres or chakras in 
our body: ‘Ayodhya Mathura Maya Kashi Kanchi Avantika Puri Dwarakavati caiva 
saptaide moksha dayika’
Maya or #Haridwar corresponds to the #mooladhar chakra situated at the base of 
the spine. When the jadata or lethargy goes and enthusiasm begins, you commence 
your journey. Haridwar, the starting point, is the door to the house of the 
Divine.

#Kanchi corresponds to the #Swadhisthana chakra situated behind the genitals, 
as the presiding deity here is Kamakshi, the goddess of kama or desire.

#Ayodhya corresponds to the third chakra, the #manipura, situated in the navel 
region, where joy, generosity, greed and jealousy manifest. All these emotions 
are connected to Ayodhya. It was the jealousy and greed of Kaikeyi that made 
Rama take vanavas. Ayodhya is also known for the generosity of Rama. The joy of 
Rama's return to Ayodhya is celebrated as Diwali. Joy, generosity, greed and 
jealousy meet in the nabhi pradesh, Ayodhya. Ayodhya also means where there is 
no fight, where it cannot hurt.

#Mathura is #anahata, the heart chakra. The heart is associated with three 
emotions: Love, fear and hatred. Mathura symbolises the love and devotion of 
the gopis for Krishna, as well as of the fear and hatred of Kansa, all matters 
of the heart.

Avantika, also called #Ujjain, is related to the #vishuddha or the throat 
chakra. Ujjain is the city of art and literature. Poet Kalidas hailed from 
Ujjain. It is also the city of Vikramaditya, of grief and glory. We feel 
gratitude in the throat region - we get choked.

#Kashi represents the #Ajna chakra situated between the eyebrows. Kashi has 
always been the seat of knowledge. That's why the ajna chakra is also called 
gyana chakshu, the third eye. Kashi is the city of pundits and scholars.

#Dwaraka represents the #Sahasrara, the crown chakra on top of the head. Dwarka 
literally means: Where is the door? The door is irrelevant if there are no 
walls. Infinity has no walls. Krishna left his body in Dwarka. Sahasrara also 
means thousand avenues. It means the pathless path. The path to liberation 
begins at Haridwar and culminates at Dwarka.

The #Soul is called #Purusha. Pura means a town. Purusha means one who lives in 
the town. The Purusha is #unbound and #infinite. But the Purusha experiences 
#bondage with all the negative emotions. Positive feelings with #knowledge are 
liberating. Positive feelings without knowledge create negative emotions that 
are stifling, hence one experiences bondage. When you observe the prana moving 
through different centres associated with sensations, the negative feelings 
cease to exist and one is libera-ted from bondage.

The seven sacred rivers are the #Ganga, #Yamuna, #Saraswati, #Godavari, 
#Narmada, #Sindhu and #Kaveri. Together with the seven sacred cities, they are 
linked to the seven sacred spots within you.
