AKASHIC REVELATION
Now, practicing the yoga asanas
for pregnant slightly (at
ease/without straining much) for
smooth delivery will be told as
mentioned before. Dandaasana,
padmaasana, Bharadwaajaasana,
Veeraasana and Vajraasanas are
to be always done with very
deep exhalation. Some yogis say,
Dandaasanam,
Krounchapeetham, Veeraasanam
are very good if done with
Jaalandhara Bandhanam.

AKASHIC REVELATION
Then I shall presently relate
briefly about the control of
the vital air. Prana is air
coursing through the body
and Ayama is said to be
Kumbhaka (holding under
control). The same is said to
be of two kinds: the combined
(Pranayama) and that (which
is practiced) alone by itself.
One should practice the
combined Pranayama till he
attains success in the
(practice of Kumbhaka) alone
by itself. The Kumbhaka which
is practiced along with Surya,
Ujjayi, Siitali and Bhastrl as
the fourth, that is the
combined Kumbhaka.

AKASHIC REVELATION
The wise Yogi, sitting in
vajrasana posture, in a place
free from all disturbance,
should firmly fix his gaze on
the spot in the middle of the
two eyebrows; and reversing
the tongue backwards, fix it in
the hollow under the epiglottis,
placing it with great care on
the mouth of the well of nectar,
(i.e. closing up the air passage).
This mudra, described by me at
the request of my devotees, is
the Khechari-mudra.

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 (Vata, 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.
