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.
