| AKASHIC REVELATION Lying prone, placing two hands on the hips, extending the two feet jointly, proceed like a snake with the chest. (ie moving the chest leftward and rightward alternatively). This is called Sarpasana. | AKASHIC REVELATION Inhaling prana through the nose and carrying it along the kundali, one should hold it comfortably off and on. This is sahaja-kumbhaka narrated by Sri-krttivasa(Shiva) 104. | 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.

Mandala Brahmanopanishad 3.5
लक्ष्येऽन्तर्बाह्यायां

च इयं
शांभवी मुद्रा भवति ।
सर्वतन्त्रेषु गोप्या

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.

गुदं पार्ष्ण्या तु संपीय
वायुमाकुञ्चयेद् बलात्।
वारं वारं यथा चोध्वं समायाति

prāṇāpānau nāndabindū
mūlabandhena caikatām |
gatvā Yogasya saṃsiddhiṃ
yacchato nātra saṃśayaḥ ॥ 105 ॥
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.
