What is Kundalini good for?

Kundalini awakening can lead to spiritual realization and samadhi. When kundalini shakti rises up the spinal cord and reaches sahasrara, union of Shiva and Shakti takes place. This is the experience of the ultimate truth of non-duality. A practitioner of Kundalini yoga obtains many siddhis.
