Muladhara is considered the 'root' or 'foundation' chakra, and is the transcendental basis of physical nature.
It is the seat of kundalini awakening, which begins its ascent here.
Muladhara unite the female and masculine energies of Shakti and Shiva.
It is associated with the element of earth,
and the sense of smell,
and the action of excretion.
By meditating thus on Her who shines within the Muladhara Chakra, with the luster of ten million Suns, a man becomes Lord of speech and King among men, and an Adept in all kinds of learning. He becomes ever free from all diseases, and his inmost Spirit becomes full of great gladness. Pure of disposition by his deep and musical words, he serves the foremost of the Devas.
