Acharya Prashant explains that the Muladhara Chakra is not a physical or anatomical entity within the human body, despite its common depiction in Kundalini Yoga diagrams. Instead, it serves as a symbol for our natural and animalistic reality. It is called the 'root base' because it represents the physical, material, and earthly existence into which everyone is born. For the vast majority of people, life remains centered at this level, meaning their actions are driven primarily by natural and animalistic instincts rather than higher consciousness.
