AKASHIC REVELATION
THE BANDHA KNOWN AS JALANDHARA
SHOULD BE PERFORMED AT THE CLOSE
OF THE PURAKA (IN-FILLING THE VITAL
AIR). THIS IS OF THE FORM OF
CONSTRICTING THE THROAT WITH A
VIEW TO OBSTRUCT THE PASSAGE OF
VITAL AIR. AFTER CONSTRICTING THE
THROAT, HE SHOULD ESTABLISH (THE
VITAL AIR) FIRMLY IN THE BOSOM. THIS
IS KNOWN AS THE JALANDHARA
BANDHA, WHICH CAUSES THE FULL
FLOW OF NECTAR. SHOULD THE
CONSTRICTION OF THE THROAT BE
MADE WITH THE IMMEDIATE
CONTRACTION OF THE NETHER PART,
BY (PERFORMING) PASCIMATANA IN
THE MIDDLE, THE PRANA (VITAL AIR)
WILL REACH THE BRAHMA-NADI.
