(1) मूलाधार, Mūlādhāram
(2)Swadhisthanam (Sanskrit: स्वाधिष्ठान, Svādhiṣṭhānam)
(3)Manipurakam (Sanskrit: मणिपूर, Maṇipūrakam)
(4)Anahatam (Sanskrit: अनाहत, Anāhatam)
(5)Vishuddha (Sanskrit: विशुद्ध, Viśuddha)
(6)Aajna (Sanskrit: आज्ञा, Ājñā)
(7)Sahasraram (Sanskrit: सहस्रार, Sahasrāram)
There is NO breaking of Chakram–3 knots-Brahma,Vishnu,Rudra Granthis(Knots) are pierced.Though “Bhedini” means breaking,here one should take it as “piercing” only.Piercing is very dangerous/fatal,unless one is properly trained by a Guru(qualified Teacher)
One should do “Dhyaanam(Meditation) with Mantram(Recitation) as prescribed in Hindu Texts and properly trained by a learned,qualified ,intelligent Teacher.There are plenty of BOGUS Teachers..
Please read Acharya SANKARA’s description:-
mahii.n muulaadhaare kamapi maNipuure hutavahaM
sthitaM svaadhiShThaane hR^idi marutamaakaashamupari .
mano.api bhruumadhye sakalamapi bhitvaa kulapathaM
sahasraare padme saha rahasi patyaa viharase ..
Acarya SANKARA puts maNipooarakam as 2nd and SvaadhiShThaanam as 3rd Chakrams-some other Acharyas put Svaadhistanam as 2nd and Manopoorakam as 3rd.,as i have enlisted at the top.I personally believe Acharya SANKARA only,because he is an intelectual giant-collossus-of humongous/gargantuan dimentions.But I do not want to thrust my preferences on others.

SSRVJ’s information is excellent and correct..you cant make your chakras strong as such but by doing yog asana and pranayama you can lead a healthy life because it balances prana/vital force.Any imbalance related to chakras and prana are usualy cause of physical and mental illness
Those who r into spirituality, thier chakras automatically open, clear and develop as they transcend thier material conditioning.But those who r not naturally disposed towards spirituality need not try anything deliberately and directly on chakras as it can be dangerous sometimes.It is not just thier feild-its best not to dabble with any chakra excercises and meditations like that
but you may see and try this sometimes if u like
