Akashic Revelations
Postures are said to be of two kinds:
the Padmasana and the Vajrasana.
When one places the soles of his
feet over the two thighs (crosswise,
the right sole over the left thigh and
the left sole over the right thigh),
this becomes the Padma posture,
which destroys all sin.
Technique
- Place the right foot on the left thigh.
- Now place the left foot on the right thigh
