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
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.
