c8.11

Apart from this concept of the human body in Kuṇḍalinī-yoga, which goes back to non-Brahmin antiquity, the idea of the parallel structure of macrocosm and microcosm forms a principal tenet of Brahmin wisdom in Vedic tradition. This parallel serves to clarify the character and the working of the supreme creative principle; in bringing into being and maintaining man and the universe, this principle manifests its energy in the various forms of personalized divinities who cooperate in their respective spheres.
