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 BhastrI as the
fourth, that is the combined
Kumbhaka.

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
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.
