AKASHIC REVELATION
Place the heels on either side of
the seam of the perineum,
keeping the left heel on the left
side and the right one on the right
side, hold the feet firmly joined to
one another with both the hands.
This Bhadrāsana is the destroyer
of all the diseases.

Mandala Brahmanopanishad 3.5
लक्ष्येऽन्तर्बाह्यायां दृष्टौ निमेषोन्मेषवर्जितायां च इयं
शांभवी मुद्रा भवति । सर्वतन्त्रेषु गोप्या महाविद्या भवति ।
तज्ज्ञानेन संसारनिवृत्तिः । तत्पूजनं मोक्षफलदम् ॥ ५ ॥

AKASHIC REVELATION
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
Shambhavi-mudra is assumed.
This mahā-vidya (the great
ultimate source knowledge) is,
of all the Tantras, what is kept
a profound secret. With the
experiential knowledge of this,
is attained freedom and
completion from the state of
worldly existence. By its
worship, is bestowed the fruit
of liberation.

AKASHIC REVELATION
By what means a great bird
soars up without rest, that alone
is the Uddiyana and a Bandha is
prescribed therefor. One should
assume the Pascima-tana
(constricting the belly) posture in
the belly above the navel. This
will be the Uddiyana-bandha,
the lion which will quell the
elephant of Death, and which
binds (the disease-generating)
phlegm which is the water of
Ether having its origin at the
(thousand petalled lotus of the
head, flowing downwards).
