Kundalini – the ordinary meaning in Sanskrit is Jilebi (a sweet snacks). This also is correct in the sense that it is like a thin curved). This Kundalini, except in devout practitioners of Siddhavidhya is found lying upside down in a three and half rounds; it is very thin and whitish; like Devi Seetha. In the Holly Book Ramayana  Seetha Devi,  has the other name Ayonija.    Ayonija in  Sanskrit one who / her not from the womb of a women.  Kunda( कुण्ड ) in Sanskrit means a pot-that is Khadam. The power (energy) is latent in this pot,  that is Head. Not only that; the pot in English is Puda Greevam for us in Malayalam. Greevam means Neck. Puda means a Cave.That is our Head. Guha in Sanskrit means that which is lying hidden or covered up. ‘Ha’  means Nature. Hence Kundalini is the hidden Cosmic Nature. And this comes out of us-becomes the Universe;  the Tree of apparent Reality. And this moves on hidden or exposed alternatively without giving us a chance to know what is Truth or Illusion (Untruth).
