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.

AKASHIC REVELATION
The bandha known as Jalandhara
should be performed at the close of
the Puraka (in-filling the vital air).
This is of the form of constricting the
throat with a view to obstruct the
passage of vital air. After
constricting the throat, he should
establish (the vital air) firmly in the
bosom. This is known as the
Jalandhara bandha , which causes
the full flow of nectar. Should the
constriction of the throat be made
with the immediate contraction of
the nether part, by (performing)
Pascimatana in the middle, the Prana
(vital air) will reach the Brahma-nadi.
