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.
