Muladhara Chakra
Muladhara (mula = root; hadara = support) is the lowest of the chakras, it's located at the base of the spine, between the anus
and the penis. From this chakra four impotrant nadis emanate which appear as lotus petals.
the subtle vibrations that are made by each nadi are represented by sanskrit letters.
In the middle of the white circle there is a yellow square, region of Prithvi ,the symbol of Prithvi tattwa (earth element).
inside the square, the elefant Airvata (king of elefants, vehicle of Indra, king of the deva) carries on his back the bija
(syllable) Lam  , or bija-dhara (earth-seed). the bija carries on his lap Brahma (creator).
above Airvata, near the mouth of Vajra nadi, shines a triangle which sybolise the yoni (uterus) of the Goddess Mother of the
universe.
The Yoni is called Kama (love) or Kamarupa (form of love) or Traipura (three-side city).
inside the yoni is Svayambhu in his Linga form (divine phallus), in other words the male prime cause of the universe, Shiva.
Within the Svayambhu Linga reigns dominant Para, the Sri Paramesvari, the awakener of eternal knowlwdge. She is the
omnipotent Kala, wonderfully skillful creator.
Over the Linga the white Kundalini, fine as the fibre of the lotus stalk, lies sleeping, in spiral three and half times round Shiva,
and her mouth covers Brahamadwara (door of Brahma) .
The circulating energy above that is called Kama-bija (seed of love).
Near this Linga is the golden region known as Kula (family).
The presiding deity is Dakini. Dakinis are half-divine or devilish beings. they are "evil spirits", attendants of Kali who eat raw
meat.
The presiding adept is called Dviranda.
Ganesha is the devata of this chakra.
