It may be noted that caduceus popularly known as the staff of Mercury, the messenger of gods is a symbol of the flow of Kundalini Sakti from the muladharam below Cerebellum. The eagle with spread wings mounted on the staff is the symbol of the Sun the Atma. The heads of the two serpents entwining the staff appear just below the wings of the eagle drawing their energy from them. These serpents are positive and negative forces which by their interaction and flow down cause the appearance of the phenomenal world. It may not be correct to interpret that these serpents are hibernating in the anus region of the human system called muladharam, by mistake.

2) Swathisthanam: This centre is said to be situated at the genitals. This is absurd. Swathi means light. Sthanam means place, position, region, locality, etc. This is the stage when the sadhaka gets a glimpse of the rays emanating from the Divine light situated far ahead within himself. He has to make further progress towards it. At the genitals, there is no light and it is not possible to generate any light there. At best one could generate some heat to produce a libido.

3) Manipuram: This centre is said to be located at the stomach. The name Manipuram itself suggests that it is the City of the Sun which is the symbol of the soul, the quest of the sadhaka. It may be noted that this word soul is derived from the word 'Sol' which means sun. Manipuram and jyothi puram are the same referring to the Divine light within us. There is no Divine light in the stomach. A kick in the stomach produces pain, but not light, whereas a kick in the head produces both pain and flashes of light. Sufis call this light as Huq Nur and Saivaits as Thiru Nir. According to the Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ Jesus is said to have told the Magians "You will see upon a living shrine, the candle of lord aflame and when you see it burning there, look deep within the temple of your brain and you will see it all aglow." As Jesus said, it is within the temple of our brain we have to search for this light and not at the stomach. It may be noted that organs below the diaphram help in the expression of grosser side of human nature while the organs above it, help in the expression of the spiritual side.
