MUDRA
ŚAMBHAVI MUDRA Śāstra Pramāṇa - शास्त्र प्रमाण Mandala Brahmanopanishad 3.5
लक्ष्येऽन्तर्बाह्यायां दृष्टौ
निमेषोन्मेषवर्जितायां च इयं
शांभवी मुद्रा भवति । सर्वतन्त्रेषु गोप्या
महाविद्या भवति । तज्ज्ञानेन
संसारनिवृत्तिः । तत्पूजनं मोक्षफलदम् ॥ ५
॥
lakṣye'ntarbāhyāyāṃ dṛṣṭau
nimeṣonmeṣavarjitāyāṃ ca iyaṃ
śāṃbhavī mudrā bhavati |
sarvatantreṣu gopyā mahāvidyā
bhavati |
tajjñānena saṃsāranivṛttiḥ |
tatpūjanaṃ mokṣaphaladam ॥ 5 ॥
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 Śāmbhavī-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.
BANDHA
MULA BANDHA Śāstra Pramāṇa - शास्त्र प्रमाण Yoga Sikhopanishad 104 - 105
गुदं पाष्ण्र्या तु संपीड्य वायुमाकुञ्चयेद्
बलात् ।
वारं वारं यथा चोर्ध्वं समायाति समीरणः
॥ १०४ ॥
प्राणापानौ नान्दबिन्दू मूलबन्धेन
चैकताम् ।
गत्वा योगस्य संसिद्धिं यच्छतो नात्र
संशयः ॥ १०५ ॥
gudaṃ pārṣṇyā tu saṃpīḍya
vāyumākuñcayed balāt |
vāraṃ vāraṃ yathā cordhvaṃ
samāyāti samīraṇaḥ ॥ 104 ॥
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.
