The region of the prakasha is where the mind projects and creates. The sun, or center, is the fire energy of awareness and consciousness, purusha. The gong is also a complete representation of the subtle world. With a rhythmical pulse that world is maintained and transformed with indefatigable creativity. With a single stroke of the mallet, the gong radiates life across a spectrum of frequencies. Its vibrations are the life currents of all forms, beings and thoughts that exist or can exist. The sound it issues forth is the first movement of the Infinite. It represents the initial stillness and potential of creation. Each area is also symbolized differently. Each region produces a different quality of sound when it is played.
The surface of the gong is divided into three regions. The center of the gong is either flat, in which case it is just called a gong, or it is raised into a small dome, in which case it is called a muffled gong. The surface is flat, but rounded on the circumference. It is a sheet of metal that is pounded into a variety of shapes. Each student of kundalini yoga is encouraged to become familiar with the basic idea, use and experience of the gong. The sound of the gong creates deep relaxation, releases you from the torrent of thoughts and stimulates the glandular system to a higher level of functioning. He said it would help repair the ravages of drugs in the nervous system. Yogi Bhajan has asked that each ashram and yoga center have a gong and play it regularly. It is a musical instrument, a healing tool for the nervous system and a cauldron in which you can create alchemical blends of qualities that open and develop the Inner Self.
