AKASHIC REVELATION
I now tell you a variant of
this āsana which leads to
immortality; Lock one foot
on the thigh and the other
on the shoulder. This is
called prāṇāsana which
gives the practitioner all
types of siddhis. This
should be done by holding
the breath in the
mūlādhāra and then
practised by contracting it.

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.
