AKASHIC REVELATION
I NOW DESCRIBE THE PADMASANA
WHICH WARDS OFF (OR CURES) ALL
DISEASES: HAVING CROSSED THE LEGS,
CAREFULLY PLACE THE FEET ON THE
OPPOSITE THIGHS (I.E. THE LEFT FOOT ON
THE RIGHT THIGH, AND VICE VERSA);
CROSS BOTH THE HANDS AND PLACE
THEM SIMILARLY ON THE THIGHS; FIX
THE SIGHT ON THE TIP OF THE NOSE;
PRESSING THE TONGUE AGAINST THE
ROOT OF THE TEETH, (CHIN SHOULD
BE ELEVATED, THE CHEST EXPANDED)
THEN DRAW THE AIR SLOWLY, FILL THE
CHEST WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT, AND
EXPEL IT SLOWLY, IN AN UNOBSTRUCTED
STREAM. IT CANNOT BE PRACTICED BY
EVERYBODY; ONLY THE WISE ATTAINS
SUCCESS, IN IT.

ONE DRAWS THE TONGUE OUT TO PRESS
THEM AGAINST THE TEETH AND TAKES
THE AIR IN. THEN HE SLOWLY LEAVES
THE AIR OUT THROUGH THE ROOF OF
NOSE AS BEFORE TILL HE FEELS THE

AND NAILS.

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 ŚAMBHAVI-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.
