FIXING THE GAZE INWARDS INTO THE
INNER SPACE AND WITH THE EYES
OPENING OUT, BUT DEVOID OF THE
ACTS OF OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE
EYELIDS, THIS ŚAMBHAVI-MUDRA IS

AKASHIC REVELATION
THE BANDHA KNOWN AS JALANDHARA
SHOULD BE PERFORMED AT THE CLOSE
OF THE PURAKA (IN-FILLING THE VITAL
AIR). THIS IS OF THE FORM OF
CONSTRICTING THE THROAT WITH A
VIEW TO OBSTRUCT THE PASSAGE OF
VITAL AIR. AFTER CONSTRICTING THE
THROAT, HE SHOULD ESTABLISH (THE
VITAL AIR) FIRMLY IN THE BOSOM. THIS
IS KNOWN AS THE JALANDHARA
BANDHA , WHICH CAUSES THE FULL
FLOW OF NECTAR. SHOULD THE
CONSTRICTION OF THE THROAT BE
MADE WITH THE IMMEDIATE
CONTRACTION OF THE NETHER PART,
BY (PERFORMING) PASCIMATANA IN
THE MIDDLE, THE PRANA (VITAL AIR)
WILL REACH THE BRAHMA-NADI.

AKASHIC REVELATION
THE CLEANSING (WITH THE
PRANAYAMA) OF THE HEAPS OF
IMPURITIES (IN THE NADIS), THE
BRINGING ABOUT OF THE UNION
BETWEEN THE MOON AND THE SUN,
THE COMPLETE DRYING UP OF THE
BODILY FLUIDS, RASAS (VAATA, PITTA
AND KAPHA), IS KNOWN AS THE
MAHĀMUDRĀ. WITH THE CHIN LAID
ON THE CHEST, PRESSING THE ABYSS OF
THE GENITALS WITH THE LEFT FOOT,
HOLDING WITH THE TWO HANDS THE
OUTSTRETCHED RIGHT LEG, FILLING
WITH BREATH THE PAIR OF BELLIES
AND HOLDING IT UP, ONE SHOULD
SLOWLY EXHALE IT. THIS INDEED IS
SAID TO BE THE SIN-DESTROYING
MAHA-MUDRA FOR MEN.
