AKASHIC REVELATION
(The practitioner) should
intelligently expel with speed the air
in the body, out of the two breasts
and fill (it) in (likewise), till he is
overcome with fatigue, as with a
blacksmith's pair of bellows. When
fatigue comes on in the body, then
should he fill in through the Solar
(nadi) and after constricting the
throat, should expel (it) again
through the Lunar (nadi). (This
Kumbhaka) removes (the excess of) the
mind, bile and phlegm, raises the
temperature of the body, rouses the
Kundali, removes defects in the
mouth, bestows auspiciousness, is
wholesome, removes impediments,
such as phlegm remaining in the
interior of the opening of the
Brahma-nadi, and is capable of
bursting through the three knots as
the result of effectively practicing
the bandhas. This
Kumbhaka is known as the Bhastra
and should be specially practised.

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 Śāmbhavī-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.
