AKASHIC REVELATION
This Padmasanam should be
done which is well–known
for the siddhi (perfection) of
breath control; This
beneficial asanam ought to
be practised again and again
until it is fully mastered.
(23.26) The left foot should
be placed at the bottom of
the right thigh; Then the
right foot on the bottom of
the left thigh, this is known
as padmasanam. (23.27)

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
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.
