The Chakras in Yoga-kundalini

... that the Yoga-kundalini Upanishad is one of the most important texts on Kundalini Yoga (pictured)?

ALT1:... that according to the Yoga-kundalini Upanishad obstacles in Yoga (pictured) are self doubts, confusion, indifference, habit of giving up, being caught up in worldly drama, and suspicions?

5x expanded by Ms Sarah Welch (talk) and Nvvchar (talk). Nominated by Ms Sarah Welch (talk) at 08:54, 27 December 2015 (UTC).

Please note, this nomination is one of a long series of DYKed articles about Hindu scriptures called Upanishads including Sariraka Upanishad, Pranagnihotra Upanishad, Mantrika Upanishad, Maitreya Upanishad, and others, worked on by the team Ms Sarah Welch and Nvvchar. They are all great articles, but the images used to illustrate the nominations (although captivating by themselves) do not originate from the Hindu texts discussed in these articles. Therefore the Yoga-kundalini Upanishad nomination for example illustrated by the Kundalini yoga practice might be a bit confusing even though the articles are closely related; this is a general comment on illustrations in this series. Other than that, the DYK nomination scan results are excellent: 9645 characters (1565 words) of readable prose, began on December 23, 2015. Excellent sourcing with no copyvios. Good to go, preferably with the original hook. Thanks, Poeticbent talk 17:42, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Comment @Poeticbent: Thank you. Indeed, the images do not originate from these ancient/medieval texts. They are, however, relevant to the article they appear in, are related to the article's topic, comply with WP:IMAGE RELEVANCE, and meet the DYK availability guidelines under the CC license on wikimedia. If there is an issue with any image, please let me know. Kundalini yoga books, fwiw, that mention the Upanishads, use illustrative images 'sort of similar' to one suggested above. See: Thomas Claire's chapter on Kundalini yoga, in Yoga for Men, ISBN 978-1564146656 (page 79 has 'sort of similar' illustrative image, Upanishad is mentioned on pages 76-77).
