THE SIDDHAS’ LESSON
IN THE VASISHTAM it is stated that Rama, after his return from apilgrimage, found that the whole world was full of misery and thatbearing the body was itself a cause of misery. He, therefore lefteverything, even things like eating and drinking, and remainedmotionless. When Viswamitra asked Dasaratha to send Rama to guard hisoblations ceremony (yagna), Dasaratha said that Rama was like a madman and described some of the signs of his madness. On hearing them,Viswamitra said that he was very pleased to hear of those symptoms,that such madness did not come to many people and that he would liketo see him and asked for him to be brought. Rama accordingly came,prostrated before all those present and sat down.
Viswamitra saw him and asked him the cause of his madness, andaddressing Vasishta, said, “Please teach Rama the knowledge of theSelf, the knowledge which Brahma taught you and me.” Vasishta agreedto do so. While he was teaching, siddhas from all over came to listento him and they thought to themselves, “Rama has gained so muchknowledge at such a young age. How surprising! How great! What is theuse of our living so long?”

Animal Sacrifice in the Age of Kali
Anargument runs thus: In the eons gone by mankind possessed highideals and noble character. Men could sacrifice animals for thewell-being of the world because they had great affection in theirhearts and were selfless. They offered even cows and horses insacrifice and had meat for sraddha. As householders, in theirmiddle years, they followed the karmamarga (the path of works)and performed rites to please the deities for the good of theworld. But, in doing so, they desired no rewards. Later, theyrenounced all works, all puja, all observances, to becomesannyasins delighting themselves in their Atman. They were men ofsuch refinement and noble character that, if their brother, aking, died heirless they begot a son by his wife without anypassion in their hearts and without a bit detracting from theirbrahmacharya. Their only motive was that the kingdom should notbe plunged in anarchy for want of an heir to the throne.
Inour own Kali age we do not have such men who are desireless intheir actions, who can subdue their minds and give up all worksto become ascetics and who will remain chaste at heart even inthe company of women. So it is contended that the following areto be eschewed in the Kali age: horse and cow sacrifices, meat inthe sraddha ceremony, sannyasa, begetting a son by the husband'sbrother. As authority we have the following verse:
Asvalambhamgavalambham sanyasam palapatrikam
Devarenasutotpattim kalau panca vivarjayet
Accordingto one view "asvalambham" in this verse should besubstituted with "agniyadhanam". If you accept this version it would meanthat even those sacrifices in which animals are not killed shouldnot be performed. In other words it would mean a totalprohibition of all sacrifices. The very first in the haviryajnacategory is agniyadhana. If that were to be prohibited it wouldmean that, apart from small sacrifices called"pakayajnas", no yajna can be performed.
Accordingto great men such a view is wrong. Sankara Bhagavatpada, whosemission in life was the re-establishment of Vedic dharma, did notstop with the admonishment that Vedas must be chanted every day("Vedo nityam adhiyatam"). He insisted that ritesimposed on us by the Vedas must be performed: ""Taduditam karma svanusthiyatam. " Of Vedic rites,sacrifices occupy the foremost place. If they are to be eschewedwhat other Vedic rites are we to perform? It may be that certaintypes of sacrifices need not be gone through in the age of Kali.
If,according to the verse, agniyadhana is interdicted, and no bigsacrifice is to be performed in the age of Kali, why shouldgavalambha (cow sacrifice) have been mentioned in the prohibitedcategory? If agniyadhana is not permissible, it goes withoutsaying that gavalambha also is prohibited. So, apart from certaintypes, all sacrifices are to be performed at all times.
Accordingto another verse quoted from the Dharmasastra, so long as thevarnasrama system is followed in the age of Kali, in howeversmall a measure, and so long as the sound of the Vedas pervadesthe air, works like agniyadhana must be performed and thesannyasasrama followed, the stage of life in which there is nokarma. The prohibition in Kali applies to certain types of animalsacrifices, meat in sraddha ceremonies and begetting a son by thehusband's brother.JAYA JAYA SANKARA HARA HARA SANKARA

ANCIENT HINDU TANTRA, PART V: THE GORAKSA SATAKA
ANCIENT HINDU TANTRA, PART V: THE GORAKSA SATAKAEdited with commentaries by Swami Tantrasanghahttp://www.salvationscience.com
This yoga shastra is not well known and deserves more attention. Itis by Gorakhnath (Gorakshanath), of the Kanphata or Nath yogis ofNepal over half half a millennium ago. They carried the secretTantric teachings, which first appear in the Rig Veda as the SomaPavamana (Moon Pure Mother Water) - same as the Biblical "Manna fromHeaven", eaten by the "Chosen People", to survive a famine.
Gorakhnath is the patron saint of Nepal, and the Indian city ofGorakhpur is named after him. He was the guru of Svatmarama, wholater wrote the more widely published Hatha Yoga Pradipika, whichremains the basic text of most schools of Hatha (Sun-Moon, physical)Yoga. Soma Pavamana is Genetic Efflux for Genetic Rejuvenation,which activates Kundalini Shakti or Holy Spirit.
The Goraksha Sataka helps to understand the Tantric roots in thesecret meanings in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, commentaries of whichcan be found in The Tantrayudha of Salvation Science. Om is theGenetic Union of male and female, whereby they become as Jesussaid: "Born Again of water and Spirit" - the prime directive of alltrue religions.
This is "the yoga of the three psychic nerves", mentioned byPadmasambhava over half a millennium before. Those three are thesame as the Hindu Triveni and the Christian Trinity - male, female,and the child, which is a mixture of both, symbolized as three nadisor rivers. Yin-Yang Union Rejuvenates and activates siddhis.
Blessings to all who "bathe in the Triveni" to attain "Prana inShushumna Nadi". Om is the mixing and merging of this "sun andmoon". Soma Pavamana means "moon pure mother water". As the Puranassay: "It is best to die at the confluence of two rivers". "Don't dieoutside Varanasi." Attain Inner Sight and Sound before death.
We Mahayanis believe that Siddhartha the Buddha was a Tantric.Swamiji's personal revelation is that the Buddha's "Middle Path" isallegorically the same as the Judeo-Christian Biblical "crossing ofthe Red Sea between two walls of water" or the "Passover bloodbetween the two doorposts" - all symbols for Rasa Tantra Sadhana.Jai Om. - Sw. Tantrasangha
THE GORAKSA SATAKA OF SRI GOTRAKHANATHFrom Chapter 14 of "Gorakhnath and the Kanphata Yogis"by George Weston Briggs, Motilal Banarsidass, Delhi, 1973
7. Postures, control of breath (recycling of Apana or outflow),withdrawal of the senses from their external objects, fixing the mindupon a single object, abstract meditation, and identification of theself with the object of meditation (Tat Vam Asi): These, they say,are the six stages of Yoga (Yoke, Union. Like Jesus said: "My yoke iseasy, and my burden is Light".)
19. In the midst of the yoni (female sex organ)...there stands thegreat linga (phallus. This is the image of the Hindu Siva Lingam -the only icon permitted by knowledgeable yogis, since it is a visualreminder of the abstract Dharma of the Union of male and female, byjoining their waters.): Whoever knows the disk of Light...is anadept. (Inner Light and Sound is the result of this Genetic Union ofthe two sexes.)
21. Having seen that, the Supreme Light unending, shining in alldirections, in Samadhi (Blissful or Ecstatic Meditation, Nirvana,Jhana), the adept does not experience (any more) transient existence.(Ending the otherwise eternal round of reincarnations, known asSamsara or "the wheel", is the Ultimate Goal of all religions. Thebetter religions base this upon health and longevity of the physicalbody. In other words, physical immortality is a means to accomplishthis end, although purely meditative approaches seek to accomplishthis through meditation alone, in contrast to the physicalpurifications of the Hermetic religions. Theravada and Zen are theonly purely meditative of the major religions. All other religions,except Islam, are based upon the "Alchemical" approach ofRegenerating the degenerating body. This somehow opens the mind toInner Sight and Sound, not unlike psychoactive drugs, which also playa valuable part in several native American religions throughout theWestern Hemisphere. These Entheogen Religions mostly use psychedelicPeyote, mushrooms, or Ayahuasca.)
(Three Spiritual Objectives come to mind: 1. Familiarize one's selfwith Soul Travel, so as not to experience hellish fear of the OOBEState upon one's death. 2. Clear the mind of desires for the objectsof this world, and 3. Try to make the final exit from the body whilethe while Prana is in Shushumna, so that Kundalini Shakti is in thechakras of the Third Eye or at the God Chakra at the top of the head,whereby the soul leaves the body with the Energy acquired by formerphysical purification, in other words, by the Holy Spirit, or, asHindu shastra states: "Don't die outside of Varanasi", the placewhere two rivers join. This is what Jesus meant when he taught: "Putyour treasure where moth and rust doth not corrupt". One's own goodkarma and the Holy Spirit are all that one can take with them fromthis world to the next. The Spiritual Objective is to achievephysical immortality, or at least to overcome fear of OOBE's byfamiliarizing one's self to such experience before dying, so as notto be terrorized by what would otherwise be a case of hellish fear ofthe unknown. Also, material desires are to be avoided. The SpiritualObjective is to attain permanence, preferably in the Immortal Body,Resurrected from death or degeneration unto life or Regeneration.Otherwise, permanence can only be attained in the spirit worlds, thusavoiding reincarnation into a suffering, degenerating body in apainful world gone insane.)
32. Ida, Pingala and Susumna in the path of Prana, are connected.(They are) always the conductors of the prana. (Their) presidingdeities are the moon (female), the sun (male), and (Kundalini or HolySpirit) fire (when they are joined).
39. Because the soul is under the control of prana (inflow) and apana(outflow), it moves up and down through the left and right paths (Idaor female and Pingala or male). Because of restlessness, it is notperceived. (The distracted and confused cannot comprehend the simplelogic of Tantra.)
40. As a hawk tied with a string, even though it flies (away and) isdrawn back; so the Jiva (Soul, Atman), bound by the gunas (emotionalchanges from excitement to lethargy), is controlled by prana andapana.
41. Apana pulls prana, and prana pulls apana: an adept in Yoga causesthe Union of these two, the lower and upper (airs, by recyclingGenetic Efflux).
42. With the sound of "ha", jiva (soul) goes out (as apana oroutflow). With the sound, "sa", it enters (the body) again (as prana,or inflow). The jiva repeats continually that mantra, "Hamsa, Hamsa".(Herein is perhaps the most heated debate in Hatha Yoga. Conservativetraditionalists claim this to be the literal inhalation andexhalation of actual breaths of air. But, in order for this to be inagreement with all other shastra of all religions, this prana must bethe Waters of Life, originally known as Soma. In Ganeshpuri, BabaMuktananda personally told me that "So-Hum", thought to be thebreath, is, in fact, Soma, which is the beverage of the FiveSacraments, which are urine, semen, menstruum, milk, andsaliva. "Hamsa" is "So-Hum", pronounced backwards. "Hamsa" literallymeans goose, and is found in the first name of Paramhamsa Yogananda.This "So-Hum", when practiced as a mantra, coincides with the in-breath and out-breath, which becomes one's point of concentration.This practice of concentrating or meditating on one's breathingappears as early as Theravada texts of the Pali Tipitaka. But if yourefer to the earlier Atharvaveda, which is the fourth oldestscripture from India, there is no doubt that "breath" was one of themany symbols, derived from the overactive imagination of the authorof the Atharva Veda, which contains a greater variety of symbols forSoma than found in any other scripture.)
48. (Jiva), free from disease, should go to...Brahma (God).
49. By the mind aroused through the Union of fire (Kundalini Shakti,Holy Spirit) and Prana (the Five Sacraments, or the bioplasma fromwhich they are derived), is drawn upward (to the chakras of InnerSight and Sound) through Susumna (Androgyny, Union of male andfemale).
50. Through the susumna, (Kundalini), aroused through Union with fire(Agni), goes upward (to the head chakras), like a serpent. (The HolySpirit does not pertain to a snake. The serpent symbol originated inancient Egypt, since the serpent, "nak", was spelled the same as On,written as Ankh, in their cryptic code-writing of consonants only,leaving the the reader to insert the proper vowels. Hieroglyphs, likeSanskrit or "saint script", means "sacred writing". TheEgyptian "Nak" became the Sanskrit "Naga", a symbol for Kundalini,found on most Siva Lingums.)
51. As one might open a door by force with a key, so the Yogi maybreak open the door of release by means of Kundalini. (If he wants toride in the Krishna Car, his guru must first give him the keys.)
53. Let him drink milk and abstain from bitter, acid, and salty food.
54. He should be chaste (not losing his Genetic Efflux), one who eatslittle, an abstainer from worldly pleasures, a practicer of Yoga(the "yoke" or Union of man and woman). After a year he will haveperfected this skill. One must have no doubt concerning this.
56. Kundalini Shakti (the Holy Spirit)...is said to be the giver ofRelease (from suffering) to Yogis and of bondage to the uninitiated.(Evil people or those bound by ignorance or fear of the psychedelicexperience of the disembodied state, are unsuitable, since theirreaction to such spirituality will be negative.)
57. That yogi is ready for Release who knows Mahamudra (the GreatAction, which is Tantra Sadhana), ...(which is) Mulabandha(the "Groin Seal", the recycling of Genetic Efflux. As the Holy Biblestates: "Gird up your loins with great strength".)
58. The Kriya (Purification) of the Nadis (literally "rivers", theThree Psychic Nerves or Bioplasmas: male, female, and the SacredUnion of the Two.)
62. His diseases: consumption, leprosy, constipation, enlargement ofthe spleen, and decrepitude, (all) go to destruction for the one whopractices Mahamudra. (I have often wondered at the similaritybetween "mutra", meaning urine, and "mudra".)
63. This Mahamudra has been described, which secures all kinds ofsuccess for men. It should be kept secret. It is not to be revealedto all sorts of people. (They did such a good job of obscuring theTruth that it became Universally Unknown in this Kali Yuga or dark,empty period of this fallen world. This is vindication for allincarnations of Christ, whose saving purpose was to reveal this nolonger secret, but actually forgotten knowledge. Like Jesussaid: "Don't hide your candle in a closet. Freely ye have received:Freely give!" This secrecy is part and parcel of the antichrist, soChrist's Mission was and is the Revelation of this Gnosis, of whichyou were entirely ignorant. You no longer must worry as to if peopleare ready for this Tantra Vidya or Gnosis of the Marriage Supper, forthey will decide that for themselves. That Way, you don't have tocondescend to judge their readiness from "lofty heights of self-righteous vanity". This widespread dissemination of Gnosis fits withthis brief opportunity to publish, electronically. The masses areindeed not ready, but that is not for you to worry about. Relax.Teach.)
64. By turning the tongue over backwards into the hollow above thethroat, and by fixing the (inner) sight between the eyebrows (i.e.the Third Eye), the Khechari Mudra (Heavenly Mudra) is performed. (Wehave theorized that this is commonly misunderstood, and is, in fact,a symbolic description of placing the man's tongue into the vagina,to stimulate the flow of female semen. Nevertheless, in the thealtered Resurrected Body or Nirvanakaya, this may be a literalpractice. Personally, I have never met anyone who had any successfulresults from this practice of "fishing for post-nasal drip", whichappears only in the Yoga Shastra of the Nath lineage of Gorakhnath,and is found in no other scriptures.)
65. Neither disease nor death nor sleep nor hunger nor fainting isthere for him who knows the Khechari Mudra. (This proves thatKhechari Mudra is actually Vajroli or Rasa Tantra.)
66. He is not troubled by affliction; he is not besmeared by thefruits of deeds (i.e. Blood At-One-ment for the forgiveness of sins);he is not troubled by death who knows the khecharimudra.
67.The citta (mind) wanders in space (khe)...because ofkhecharimudra.
69. (In Khechari Mudra)...his bindu, even if he is embraced by awoman, does not fall. (This is another clue about the true KhechariMudra.)
70. While the bindu (seed) remains in the body, there is no fear ofdeath...as long as the bindu does not escape. (Like the Holy Biblestates: "I have not sinned, for my seed remaineth in me"; and Jesusin the Nag Hammadi Gospels: "Of all the Father hath given me, I letnone escape".)
71. Even if the bindu (seed) has reached the fire, it straightwayreturns (goes up), arrested by Sakti (Kundalini, also a name for thewife of Siva), by the yonimudra. (Although one might think that YoniMudra must pertain to oral sex, in the Hatha Yoga Pradipka, it isdescribed as the technique for meditating on Inner Sight and Sound.And Jesus asked: "What will you say when you see the Son of Manascend up where he was before?" This also could mean either theprocess of recycling or the Transmutation of the Body to what isconsidered its original form - the "Ascension". Although theseancient scriptures are poorly written and intentionally meant toobscure the Truth, we herein use them as necessary proof of ourassertions about Hermetic Science, so as to instigateexperimentation, after the passing of those who now block suchrational enquiry.)
72.Further, the bindu is of two kinds - pale-white and blood-red. Thewhite is semen virile, and the red is menstrual fluid.
73. Rajas (menstrual fluid), secreted in the place of the sun...andthe bindu secreted in the place of the moon - the MINGLING OF THESETWO (SEEDS) is very difficult to accomplish. (The difficulties ofthis practice does much to explain why the world is sunk in manyfalse religions, made more pleasant with lies about "salvationwithout sacrifice", for example, by proxy, involving the murder ofthe Tantric master, such as Jesus, i.e. "By his shed blood we aresaved"! Only the rational soul can see that no one ispresently "saved", when applying the criteria of the EightSufferings. Once you abandon foolish notions aboutfalsified "salvation", can we then begin the Great Work ofaccomplishing Real and Lasting Salvation from Suffering.)
74. Bindu (actually Sukra) is Siva (male), and rajas is Sakti(female): Bindu (sukra)is the moon (actually the sun or male), andrajas isthe sun (actually the moon or female). FROM THE MINGLING OFTHESE TWO, ONE OBTAINS THE HIGHEST STATE.
75. Then, by moving Sakti, by vayu (air, breath), the rajas(menstruum) is impelled and UNITED with bindu (male sukra). THEN THEBODY BECOMES DIVINE, wonderful in appearance.
76. Sukra (male semen) is joined with the moon (female, Soma), andrajas (menstruum) is joined with the sun. One who understands theUNITING OF THE TWO is an adept.
79. Because the Jalandharabandha (also called Khecharimudra) closesthe network of channels and stops the water from flowing down fromthe head: therefore it destroys the host of disorders of the throat.(Herein is this enigmatic practice, mentioned only in Nath shastra,which is a complete departure from Tantra or Vajroli, calling thispost-nasal drip "the moon", which we already know is a female symbolfor the Five Sacraments, of which post-nasal drip is not one. Thisunnatural use of the tongue often impels the student to cut thephrenum under the tongue, in order to make the almostimpossible "mudra" of placing the tongue into the nasal passage atthe back of the throat. We include this unique idea, not to confuseyou, but so that it might be reconsidered by those who attainNirvanakaya - the Resurrected Body, at the Transmutation of thephysical to the Divine, as was our Paramguruji, Jesus Christ. It is apity and a shame that the so-called "christian" missionaries did notgive you this Vidya or Gnosis, which would have reconciled manydisparate theologies.)
81. ...Draw the apana (outflow) upward. Thus is the Mulabandha (groinseal) performed.
82. From the Union of prana (inflow) and apana (outflow), (byrecycling) and from the decrease of urine and faeces, EVEN AN OLD MANBECOMES YOUNG by much practice of the mulabandha (the "root seal" orHermetic Sealing up of the Genetic Efflux, which flows from themulachakra or groin).
86. In which...the threefold sakti (Soma, Surya, and Shushumna - theGnostic Trinity of male, female and Androgyny), is contained, that OMis the Supreme Light.
87. That OM...which has the bindu (seed) as its mark, is the SupremeLight. (In Sanskrit, OM is written, as the Siva Lingam is portrayed,as a conjoined phallus and vagina, along side the images of sun andmoon. Ritual water is poured over the Siva Lingum, as an icon ofinstruction in how to join the two.)
91. As long as prana (the Five Sacraments) remain in the body, life(jiva) does not depart. Its departure is death. Therefore, one shouldbecome proficient in restraining the prana.
92. As long as prana is held in the body, the consciousness (andbody) will be free from disease. What cause is there for fear ofdeath, so long as the (inner) sight remains fixed between theeyebrows? (One should familiarize one's self with the disembodiedexperience of Inner Sight and Sound, without the need for physicaleyes and ears. Otherwise, death may result in a hellish fear of theunknown. Like the apostle Paul wrote: "I die daily". And, as Jesussaid: "When thine eye is single, thy whole body will be filled withLight". And, elsewhere in the Holy Bible: "When I am out of the body,I am with God". This is the basic teaching behind the "Eckankar"Movement, founded by "soul traveller", Paul Twitchell. Interestingly,Ek-Ankh-kar is the same as the Sikh mantra: Ek-Ong-Car Sat Nam,meaning: "One Om Body is the True Name of God". One can argue aboutnames, but there is agreement that this is the only known physicalpractice, whereby one can attain what the apostle Paul called: "TheGreat Mystery, which is CHRIST WITHIN US". Perhaps you would preferto fake being "Born Again", since your Christ is outside you, inthe "doghouse" as it were, where you put him!)
93. Therefore, from the fear of death, Brahma (God) is intent onpranayama, as are also yogis and sages. Therefore, one shouldrestrain the breath (recycle the Genetic Efflux). (Those with no fearof death will have no desire for physical immortality. Fear of death,although ridiculed by the foolhardy, is the best motive I know of forthe practice of that Yoga whereby one is Saved from degeneration byRegeneration. Indeed, those who do not despise this fear of harm, areusually less likely to inflict it on others, and are kinder to theirneighbors. There are no suicide-murderers among us.)
95. As the yogi becomes more capable in restraining the prana, thenthe whole group of nadis (literally "rivers", bioplasma), full ofsecretions (the "breath", which is restrained), is purified.
96. ...The yogi should fill in the prana through the left (female)nostril (nadi)...and should expell it through the right (male)nostril (nadi).
97. Having meditated on the circular image of the moon (soma), nectaras white as curds and cow's milk...one practicing pranayama(recycling of Genetic Efflux) should find peace.
98. Having filled in the breath (Genetic Efflux) through the right(male) nostril (nadi), one should fill the abdomen (with the FiveSacraments) slowly. ...(Then), he should expel it through the left(female) nostril (nadi).
100. Meditating on...moon (female) and sun (male)...draw in thebreath through the left nostril: He should expel it again through theother... Then having drawn in the breath (Genetic Efflux) through theright nostril, he should expel it through the left. After threemonths, the group of nadis of the practicer becomes pure. (Thisexplains the exchange of Genetic Efflux between man and woman, knownas Vajroli, Rasa Tantra, or the Marriage Supper of the Lamb of God.)
101. By restraining (recycling) the breath (Genetic Efflux), thenadis (bioplasmas) are cleansed (purified), the digestive fire iskindled (from the increase of bile, which gives urine its yellowcolor), Inner Sound (the Anahat Nad) is heard, and one becomes freeof diseases.

THE GORAKSA SATAKA OF SRI GOTRAKHANATHFrom Chapter 14 of "Gorakhnath and the Kanphata Yogis"by George Weston Briggs, Motilal Banarsidass, Delhi, 1973
7. Postures, control of breath (recycling of Apana or outflow),withdrawal of the senses from their external objects, fixing the mindupon a single object, abstract meditation, and identification of theself with the object of meditation (Tat Vam Asi): These, they say,are the six stages of Yoga (Yoke, Union. Like Jesus said: "My yoke iseasy, and my burden is Light".)
19. In the midst of the yoni (female sex organ)...there stands thegreat linga (phallus. This is the image of the Hindu Siva Lingam -the only icon permitted by knowledgeable yogis, since it is a visualreminder of the abstract Dharma of the Union of male and female, byjoining their waters.): Whoever knows the disk of Light...is anadept. (Inner Light and Sound is the result of this Genetic Union ofthe two sexes.)
21. Having seen that, the Supreme Light unending, shining in alldirections, in Samadhi (Blissful or Ecstatic Meditation, Nirvana,Jhana), the adept does not experience (any more) transient existence.(Ending the otherwise eternal round of reincarnations, known asSamsara or "the wheel", is the Ultimate Goal of all religions. Thebetter religions base this upon health and longevity of the physicalbody. In other words, physical immortality is a means to accomplishthis end, although purely meditative approaches seek to accomplishthis through meditation alone, in contrast to the physicalpurifications of the Hermetic religions. Theravada and Zen are theonly purely meditative of the major religions. All other religions,except Islam, are based upon the "Alchemical" approach ofRegenerating the degenerating body. This somehow opens the mind toInner Sight and Sound, not unlike psychoactive drugs, which also playa valuable part in several native American religions throughout theWestern Hemisphere. These Entheogen Religions mostly use psychedelicPeyote, mushrooms, or Ayahuasca.)
(Three Spiritual Objectives come to mind: 1. Familiarize one's selfwith Soul Travel, so as not to experience hellish fear of the OOBEState upon one's death. 2. Clear the mind of desires for the objectsof this world, and 3. Try to make the final exit from the body whilethe while Prana is in Shushumna, so that Kundalini Shakti is in thechakras of the Third Eye or at the God Chakra at the top of the head,whereby the soul leaves the body with the Energy acquired by formerphysical purification, in other words, by the Holy Spirit, or, asHindu shastra states: "Don't die outside of Varanasi", the placewhere two rivers join. This is what Jesus meant when he taught: "Putyour treasure where moth and rust doth not corrupt". One's own goodkarma and the Holy Spirit are all that one can take with them fromthis world to the next. The Spiritual Objective is to achievephysical immortality, or at least to overcome fear of OOBE's byfamiliarizing one's self to such experience before dying, so as notto be terrorized by what would otherwise be a case of hellish fear ofthe unknown. Also, material desires are to be avoided. The SpiritualObjective is to attain permanence, preferably in the Immortal Body,Resurrected from death or degeneration unto life or Regeneration.Otherwise, permanence can only be attained in the spirit worlds, thusavoiding reincarnation into a suffering, degenerating body in apainful world gone insane.)
32. Ida, Pingala and Susumna in the path of Prana, are connected.(They are) always the conductors of the prana. (Their) presidingdeities are the moon (female), the sun (male), and (Kundalini or HolySpirit) fire (when they are joined).
39. Because the soul is under the control of prana (inflow) and apana(outflow), it moves up and down through the left and right paths (Idaor female and Pingala or male). Because of restlessness, it is notperceived. (The distracted and confused cannot comprehend the simplelogic of Tantra.)
40. As a hawk tied with a string, even though it flies (away and) isdrawn back; so the Jiva (Soul, Atman), bound by the gunas (emotionalchanges from excitement to lethargy), is controlled by prana andapana.
41. Apana pulls prana, and prana pulls apana: an adept in Yoga causesthe Union of these two, the lower and upper (airs, by recyclingGenetic Efflux).
42. With the sound of "ha", jiva (soul) goes out (as apana oroutflow). With the sound, "sa", it enters (the body) again (as prana,or inflow). The jiva repeats continually that mantra, "Hamsa, Hamsa".(Herein is perhaps the most heated debate in Hatha Yoga. Conservativetraditionalists claim this to be the literal inhalation andexhalation of actual breaths of air. But, in order for this to be inagreement with all other shastra of all religions, this prana must bethe Waters of Life, originally known as Soma. In Ganeshpuri, BabaMuktananda personally told me that "So-Hum", thought to be thebreath, is, in fact, Soma, which is the beverage of the FiveSacraments, which are urine, semen, menstruum, milk, andsaliva. "Hamsa" is "So-Hum", pronounced backwards. "Hamsa" literallymeans goose, and is found in the first name of Paramhamsa Yogananda.This "So-Hum", when practiced as a mantra, coincides with the in-breath and out-breath, which becomes one's point of concentration.This practice of concentrating or meditating on one's breathingappears as early as Theravada texts of the Pali Tipitaka. But if yourefer to the earlier Atharvaveda, which is the fourth oldestscripture from India, there is no doubt that "breath" was one of themany symbols, derived from the overactive imagination of the authorof the Atharva Veda, which contains a greater variety of symbols forSoma than found in any other scripture.)
48. (Jiva), free from disease, should go to...Brahma (God).
49. By the mind aroused through the Union of fire (Kundalini Shakti,Holy Spirit) and Prana (the Five Sacraments, or the bioplasma fromwhich they are derived), is drawn upward (to the chakras of InnerSight and Sound) through Susumna (Androgyny, Union of male andfemale).
50. Through the susumna, (Kundalini), aroused through Union with fire(Agni), goes upward (to the head chakras), like a serpent. (The HolySpirit does not pertain to a snake. The serpent symbol originated inancient Egypt, since the serpent, "nak", was spelled the same as On,written as Ankh, in their cryptic code-writing of consonants only,leaving the the reader to insert the proper vowels. Hieroglyphs, likeSanskrit or "saint script", means "sacred writing". TheEgyptian "Nak" became the Sanskrit "Naga", a symbol for Kundalini,found on most Siva Lingums.)
51. As one might open a door by force with a key, so the Yogi maybreak open the door of release by means of Kundalini. (If he wants toride in the Krishna Car, his guru must first give him the keys.)
53. Let him drink milk and abstain from bitter, acid, and salty food.
54. He should be chaste (not losing his Genetic Efflux), one who eatslittle, an abstainer from worldly pleasures, a practicer of Yoga(the "yoke" or Union of man and woman). After a year he will haveperfected this skill. One must have no doubt concerning this.
56. Kundalini Shakti (the Holy Spirit)...is said to be the giver ofRelease (from suffering) to Yogis and of bondage to the uninitiated.(Evil people or those bound by ignorance or fear of the psychedelicexperience of the disembodied state, are unsuitable, since theirreaction to such spirituality will be negative.)
57. That yogi is ready for Release who knows Mahamudra (the GreatAction, which is Tantra Sadhana), ...(which is) Mulabandha(the "Groin Seal", the recycling of Genetic Efflux. As the Holy Biblestates: "Gird up your loins with great strength".)
58. The Kriya (Purification) of the Nadis (literally "rivers", theThree Psychic Nerves or Bioplasmas: male, female, and the SacredUnion of the Two.)
62. His diseases: consumption, leprosy, constipation, enlargement ofthe spleen, and decrepitude, (all) go to destruction for the one whopractices Mahamudra. (I have often wondered at the similaritybetween "mutra", meaning urine, and "mudra".)
63. This Mahamudra has been described, which secures all kinds ofsuccess for men. It should be kept secret. It is not to be revealedto all sorts of people. (They did such a good job of obscuring theTruth that it became Universally Unknown in this Kali Yuga or dark,empty period of this fallen world. This is vindication for allincarnations of Christ, whose saving purpose was to reveal this nolonger secret, but actually forgotten knowledge. Like Jesussaid: "Don't hide your candle in a closet. Freely ye have received:Freely give!" This secrecy is part and parcel of the antichrist, soChrist's Mission was and is the Revelation of this Gnosis, of whichyou were entirely ignorant. You no longer must worry as to if peopleare ready for this Tantra Vidya or Gnosis of the Marriage Supper, forthey will decide that for themselves. That Way, you don't have tocondescend to judge their readiness from "lofty heights of self-righteous vanity". This widespread dissemination of Gnosis fits withthis brief opportunity to publish, electronically. The masses areindeed not ready, but that is not for you to worry about. Relax.Teach.)
64. By turning the tongue over backwards into the hollow above thethroat, and by fixing the (inner) sight between the eyebrows (i.e.the Third Eye), the Khechari Mudra (Heavenly Mudra) is performed. (Wehave theorized that this is commonly misunderstood, and is, in fact,a symbolic description of placing the man's tongue into the vagina,to stimulate the flow of female semen. Nevertheless, in the thealtered Resurrected Body or Nirvanakaya, this may be a literalpractice. Personally, I have never met anyone who had any successfulresults from this practice of "fishing for post-nasal drip", whichappears only in the Yoga Shastra of the Nath lineage of Gorakhnath,and is found in no other scriptures.)
65. Neither disease nor death nor sleep nor hunger nor fainting isthere for him who knows the Khechari Mudra. (This proves thatKhechari Mudra is actually Vajroli or Rasa Tantra.)
66. He is not troubled by affliction; he is not besmeared by thefruits of deeds (i.e. Blood At-One-ment for the forgiveness of sins);he is not troubled by death who knows the khecharimudra.
67.The citta (mind) wanders in space (khe)...because ofkhecharimudra.
69. (In Khechari Mudra)...his bindu, even if he is embraced by awoman, does not fall. (This is another clue about the true KhechariMudra.)
70. While the bindu (seed) remains in the body, there is no fear ofdeath...as long as the bindu does not escape. (Like the Holy Biblestates: "I have not sinned, for my seed remaineth in me"; and Jesusin the Nag Hammadi Gospels: "Of all the Father hath given me, I letnone escape".)
71. Even if the bindu (seed) has reached the fire, it straightwayreturns (goes up), arrested by Sakti (Kundalini, also a name for thewife of Siva), by the yonimudra. (Although one might think that YoniMudra must pertain to oral sex, in the Hatha Yoga Pradipka, it isdescribed as the technique for meditating on Inner Sight and Sound.And Jesus asked: "What will you say when you see the Son of Manascend up where he was before?" This also could mean either theprocess of recycling or the Transmutation of the Body to what isconsidered its original form - the "Ascension". Although theseancient scriptures are poorly written and intentionally meant toobscure the Truth, we herein use them as necessary proof of ourassertions about Hermetic Science, so as to instigateexperimentation, after the passing of those who now block suchrational enquiry.)
72.Further, the bindu is of two kinds - pale-white and blood-red. Thewhite is semen virile, and the red is menstrual fluid.
73. Rajas (menstrual fluid), secreted in the place of the sun...andthe bindu secreted in the place of the moon - the MINGLING OF THESETWO (SEEDS) is very difficult to accomplish. (The difficulties ofthis practice does much to explain why the world is sunk in manyfalse religions, made more pleasant with lies about "salvationwithout sacrifice", for example, by proxy, involving the murder ofthe Tantric master, such as Jesus, i.e. "By his shed blood we aresaved"! Only the rational soul can see that no one ispresently "saved", when applying the criteria of the EightSufferings. Once you abandon foolish notions aboutfalsified "salvation", can we then begin the Great Work ofaccomplishing Real and Lasting Salvation from Suffering.)
74. Bindu (actually Sukra) is Siva (male), and rajas is Sakti(female): Bindu (sukra)is the moon (actually the sun or male), andrajas isthe sun (actually the moon or female). FROM THE MINGLING OFTHESE TWO, ONE OBTAINS THE HIGHEST STATE.
75. Then, by moving Sakti, by vayu (air, breath), the rajas(menstruum) is impelled and UNITED with bindu (male sukra). THEN THEBODY BECOMES DIVINE, wonderful in appearance.
76. Sukra (male semen) is joined with the moon (female, Soma), andrajas (menstruum) is joined with the sun. One who understands theUNITING OF THE TWO is an adept.
79. Because the Jalandharabandha (also called Khecharimudra) closesthe network of channels and stops the water from flowing down fromthe head: therefore it destroys the host of disorders of the throat.(Herein is this enigmatic practice, mentioned only in Nath shastra,which is a complete departure from Tantra or Vajroli, calling thispost-nasal drip "the moon", which we already know is a female symbolfor the Five Sacraments, of which post-nasal drip is not one. Thisunnatural use of the tongue often impels the student to cut thephrenum under the tongue, in order to make the almostimpossible "mudra" of placing the tongue into the nasal passage atthe back of the throat. We include this unique idea, not to confuseyou, but so that it might be reconsidered by those who attainNirvanakaya - the Resurrected Body, at the Transmutation of thephysical to the Divine, as was our Paramguruji, Jesus Christ. It is apity and a shame that the so-called "christian" missionaries did notgive you this Vidya or Gnosis, which would have reconciled manydisparate theologies.)
81. ...Draw the apana (outflow) upward. Thus is the Mulabandha (groinseal) performed.
82. From the Union of prana (inflow) and apana (outflow), (byrecycling) and from the decrease of urine and faeces, EVEN AN OLD MANBECOMES YOUNG by much practice of the mulabandha (the "root seal" orHermetic Sealing up of the Genetic Efflux, which flows from themulachakra or groin).
86. In which...the threefold sakti (Soma, Surya, and Shushumna - theGnostic Trinity of male, female and Androgyny), is contained, that OMis the Supreme Light.
87. That OM...which has the bindu (seed) as its mark, is the SupremeLight. (In Sanskrit, OM is written, as the Siva Lingam is portrayed,as a conjoined phallus and vagina, along side the images of sun andmoon. Ritual water is poured over the Siva Lingum, as an icon ofinstruction in how to join the two.)
91. As long as prana (the Five Sacraments) remain in the body, life(jiva) does not depart. Its departure is death. Therefore, one shouldbecome proficient in restraining the prana.
92. As long as prana is held in the body, the consciousness (andbody) will be free from disease. What cause is there for fear ofdeath, so long as the (inner) sight remains fixed between theeyebrows? (One should familiarize one's self with the disembodiedexperience of Inner Sight and Sound, without the need for physicaleyes and ears. Otherwise, death may result in a hellish fear of theunknown. Like the apostle Paul wrote: "I die daily". And, as Jesussaid: "When thine eye is single, thy whole body will be filled withLight". And, elsewhere in the Holy Bible: "When I am out of the body,I am with God". This is the basic teaching behind the "Eckankar"Movement, founded by "soul traveller", Paul Twitchell. Interestingly,Ek-Ankh-kar is the same as the Sikh mantra: Ek-Ong-Car Sat Nam,meaning: "One Om Body is the True Name of God". One can argue aboutnames, but there is agreement that this is the only known physicalpractice, whereby one can attain what the apostle Paul called: "TheGreat Mystery, which is CHRIST WITHIN US". Perhaps you would preferto fake being "Born Again", since your Christ is outside you, inthe "doghouse" as it were, where you put him!)
93. Therefore, from the fear of death, Brahma (God) is intent onpranayama, as are also yogis and sages. Therefore, one shouldrestrain the breath (recycle the Genetic Efflux). (Those with no fearof death will have no desire for physical immortality. Fear of death,although ridiculed by the foolhardy, is the best motive I know of forthe practice of that Yoga whereby one is Saved from degeneration byRegeneration. Indeed, those who do not despise this fear of harm, areusually less likely to inflict it on others, and are kinder to theirneighbors. There are no suicide-murderers among us.)
95. As the yogi becomes more capable in restraining the prana, thenthe whole group of nadis (literally "rivers", bioplasma), full ofsecretions (the "breath", which is restrained), is purified.
96. ...The yogi should fill in the prana through the left (female)nostril (nadi)...and should expell it through the right (male)nostril (nadi).
97. Having meditated on the circular image of the moon (soma), nectaras white as curds and cow's milk...one practicing pranayama(recycling of Genetic Efflux) should find peace.
98. Having filled in the breath (Genetic Efflux) through the right(male) nostril (nadi), one should fill the abdomen (with the FiveSacraments) slowly. ...(Then), he should expel it through the left(female) nostril (nadi).
100. Meditating on...moon (female) and sun (male)...draw in thebreath through the left nostril: He should expel it again through theother... Then having drawn in the breath (Genetic Efflux) through theright nostril, he should expel it through the left. After threemonths, the group of nadis of the practicer becomes pure. (Thisexplains the exchange of Genetic Efflux between man and woman, knownas Vajroli, Rasa Tantra, or the Marriage Supper of the Lamb of God.)
101. By restraining (recycling) the breath (Genetic Efflux), thenadis (bioplasmas) are cleansed (purified), the digestive fire iskindled (from the increase of bile, which gives urine its yellowcolor), Inner Sound (the Anahat Nad) is heard, and one becomes freeof diseases.

Once Shri Bodhendra Swamigal was going from village to village to bless the people with spiritual gains by initiating them into the continuous chanting of the Divine Names. Shri Bodhendra Swamigal was clad in saffron and was wearing a long oordvapundra tilak on his forehead. He had a calm and pleasant smile on his countenance, and was wearing a rosay of Tulasi beads, was holding the staff of a saint and was filled with compassion for all beings. He was chanting ceaselessly `Shri Rama, Rama, Rama….' with his eyes drenched with tears of spiritual joy. He was seen in a state of ecstasy, hairs standing on end. Seeing Shri Bodhendra Swamigal in this state, a brahmana paid his respects to him and humbly invited him to have a meal in his house. Shri Bhagavannama Bodhendra accepted the request of the large-hearted brahmana and went to his house. That blessed brahmana bathed the feet of the yati and offered him worship, with tears of joy drenching his face.That brahmana fed Bodhendra Swamigal with all earnestness and respect. While the sage was having his meal, he was sitting near him reciting the Upanishads.
In the meantime the five-year old dumb son of that brahmana sought various dishes by gestures. The compassionate yatishwara became very sad to see that dumb child and he shed tears of sympathy. `Alas! How will this child be able to do kirtan of the DivineNames of Shripati (the Lord of Devi Lakshmi), the Ocean of Mercy?
Is not the chanting of the Divine Names the only panacea for men in this Kaliyuga who engage in varied sinful activities? Oh! This dumb boy will not be able to sing the Divine Names of Shri Hari. How will he attain spiritual well-being here and now? Thus becoming sad, Shri Bodhendra Swamigal got up from his seat, washed his hand and went to the verandah of the house.
At that time, the brahmana prostrated himself before the Swamigal with ardent devotion and tried to console him, saying that all the beings of the world reap what they have sown in their previous births. After the ascetic left that place, without delay that dumb boy eagerly took the remnants of his prasad.
Immediately that boy gained divine knowledge and started dancing, singing the Divine Names, `Rama' and `Krishna' with abiding devotion.
Finding that young boy chanting the Divine Names thus, the brahmana was surprised and he became immensely happy. From that day, approaching the preceptor Shri Bodhendra, that boy rendered him all possible service with affection and became blessed with spiritual well-being.
