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 external vision of the Yogin,
when it becomes fixed only on
the one object In the interior,
(with the mind concentrated on
the Viraj, Sutratman, Bija or the
Turiya in the Muladhara, Anahata
or Sahasrara) and in
consequence devoid of shutting
or opening the eyelids, this is the
reputed Vaisnavi Mudra, which is
well preserved as a secret in all
the Tantras. 14.

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 naval. 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).

Place right leg on the left

Place the left leg above the

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.
