Asana
ARAMBHA ASANA Āpta Pramāṇa Yoga Asanamala Sacitra 30
दोउ पग मिलिवा पसारी पगाका अगुठा पकडि
लिलाट गोडा लगावै
सरीर समीराषै आसन कौ गुण आरंभ की विधि
उत्तर सनमुख बैसी आरंभ करै
प्रथम द्वादस मात्रा स्यौ मुष
बाट पूरै
द्वादशमात्र कुम्भक राषै
द्वादशमात्रा स्यौ पिङ्गला नाडि
रेचै
डावा हाथ स्यौ आरंभ करे
जीमणौ हाथ जीमणौ गौडा परि राषै
दृष्टि त्रिकुटी राषै
द्वादश दिन सुधौ इही जुगती आरम्भ करै
पाछै जेति सकति हो ऐ तेतौ पूरै
अरु अशक्तिवान होई तौ लौ कुम्भक
राषै जेति ताकतिते तास्यौ अधिक रैचै
द्वादश दिन मै चढतौ चढतौ पहर एक
आरम्भ आसन साधै
पहर आगे साधै तो परै नीका
ईह जुगती दिन ७२ वहैतिरी आरंभ करै ॥
अथवा वोगरा की विधी साठी चंवुल टाङ्क २७
सताईस मुगसारा टङ्क २६ तौला जुदा भजेवै
भीज्यो पाछै सिला उपरि जुदा बाटै पाछै
बोगरो पलीषासमान अलुनौ रांधै
पाणी मै जब पिरा मेलेडू तब सकर तङ्क ५
पांच वोध गरा मै घालै
पीसुहावै जस्यो पीवै थोडी थोडी घूट पीवै
पछि तुरतही यो आसन का बैसी याही आरम्भ
करै घडी एक दोई विश्राम करै
आठो प्रहर याही आरम्भ करै तो चौरासी
दीन मै राजरोग जाय
कुण्डलिनी वीषै पवन प्रवेस करै नाडी सुध
होय अरा श्रहर्स कोस की सुनै
सिद्ध प्राप्ती होइ ॥३० ॥

AKASHIC REVELATION
Sit with legs extended in front.
Catch a hold of the big toes
with the index and middle
finger. Place the head over the
knees. It is recommended to
consume a liquid gruel made
of green mung dal and rice
should be taken sip by sip, and
after few minutes then start
the asana. Arambasana is
practiced with nadi shodana
pranayama starting with 12
matras all the time through 24
hours with intermittent rest of
an hour or so. Start inhaling
from the left nostril. Hold big
toes with the index and middle

Pranayama
NADI SHODANA Apta Pramana Gheranda Samhita 5.35
मलाकुलासु नाडीषु मारुतो नैव गच्छति ।
प्राणायामः कथं
सिध्यत्तत्त्वज्ञानं कथं
भवेत् ।
तस्मादादाै नाडीशुद्धिं
प्राणायामं ततोऽभ्यसेत् ॥
AKASHIC REVELATION
The vayu (prana) does not
enter the nadis as long as
they are full of impurities.
How then can pranayama
be accomplished? How
can there be knowledge of
the tattvas? Therefore,
first the nadis should be
purified, and then
pranayama should be
practiced.
Mudra
PRANA MUDRA Mudra Vidhanam – Nivedana Mudrāḥ 6.2
मयम़ातज यनं ुष्ठयोगे-मृा ।
madhyamātarjanyaṃnuṣṭhayoge
prāṇa-mudrā ।
AKASHIC REVELATION
When the middle and index
finger stand nearby each
other (we should
understand that the other
fingers are folded), it is
called Prana mudra
Bandha
MULA BANDHA Sāstra Pramāṇa Yoga Sikhopanishad 104-105
गुदं पाष्ण्र्या तु संपीड्य
वायुमाकुञ्चयेद् बलात् । वारं वारं यथा
चोर्ध्वं समायाति समीरणः ॥ १०४ ॥
प्राणापानौ नान्दबिन्दू
मूलबन्धेन च्ऐकताम् । गत्वा योगस्य
संसिद्धिं यच्छतो नात्र संशयः
॥ १०५ ॥
gudaṃ pārṣṇyā tu sampīḍya
vāyumākuñcayed balāt |vāraṃ
vāraṃ yathā cordhvaṃ

prāṇāpānau nāndabindū
mūlabandhena caikatām|
gatvā Yogasya saṃsiddhiṃ
yacchato nātra saṃśayaḥ ||
105 ||
AKASHIC REVELATION
Pressing the anus with the
heel, (the practitioner) should
forcibly draw up the vital air
in such a way that the air
would move upwards stage
by stage. The Prana and
Apana (vital airs), as also the
Nada (Intellect) and the Bindu
(mind), becoming one by
means of the Mula-bandha,
bestow the successful
accomplishment of Yoga.
Herein there is no doubt.
