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 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.

AKASHIC REVELATION
The Karani known as Viparita,
which destroys all mental and
bodily ailments, develops the
Jatharagni of the daily practitioner.
Various kinds of food will have to
be procured by the practitioner (of
that Karani). Should the kinds of
food fall short, fire will eat up the
body in a minute. With his head
down and his feet up, he should
remain for a minute on the first
day.
