AKASHIC REVELATION
A yogi places the
upturned feet on the
thighs as prescribed. He
places the hands
upturned between two
thighs and gazes at the
tip of the nose. He raises
the chest up and fixing
the chin presses the root
of the teeth (rājadanta)
with the tongue.

AKASHIC REVELATION
Without touching the front
teeth and placing the
tongue near them, one
should draw the air in by
making the lips like the
beak of a crow. This is a
superior practice of
Pranayama.

AKASHIC REVELATION
Let the wise Yogi forcibly and
firmly draw up the Goddess
Kundali sleeping in the adhar
lotus, by means of the apana
vayu. This is Shakti-Chalan
Mudra, the giver of all powers.

AKASHIC REVELATION The cleansing (with the Pranayama) of the heaps of impurities (in the Nadis), the bringing about of the union between the Moon and the Sun, the complete drying up of the bodily fluids, Rasas (Vaata, Pitta and Kapha), is known as the mahāmudrā. With the chin laid on the chest, pressing the abyss of the genitals with the left foot, holding with the two hands the outstretched right leg, filling with breath the pair of bellies and holding it up, one should slowly exhale it. This indeed is said to be the sin-destroying Maha-mudra for men.
