And when he saw this, Ramananda was faint with joy; he could not control his body and fell to the earth. … Embracing him Prabhu comforted him. “Except for you, no one has seen this form. It is because of your perception of the tattva of the rasa of my play (lila) that I have shown this form to you. The golden-coloured body is not mine but is the touch of the body of Radha: she touches no one except the son of Gopendra. I experience in my heart and soul everything she feels; then I taste the rasa of the sweetness of myself.<br /><br />Caitanya Caritamrta<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31351038.post-82537527506338856152017-06-01T17:05:36.659-04:002017-06-01T17:05:36.659-04:00It is worth remarking, that the lowering of the he...It is worth remarking, that the lowering of the head is also accompanied by jālandharabandha on the out breath during gotiká (ghoTika) bandha.<br /><br />If gotikaa bandha ever happens, in this Kriyā-like state one will do these things automatically (without any conscious thought or prior knowledge).<br /><br />So pick your bow, mount your chariot, hurry your horses and let loose those arrows...<br /> <br />See reply comment Monday, 17 October 2016:<br /><br />http://jagadanandadas.blogspot.com/2015/08/erotic-sculptures-on-jagannath-temple.html<br /><br />Quote:<br /><br />Gorakh Bani – Śábda 49<br /><br />चालत चंदवा षिसि षिसि पड़ै ।<br /><br />§ 49(1) A strong stirring tremulous (up and down) motion, rising and falling in waves, surging, swelling, overflowing with passionate desire which gives a footing to stand out above, establishing one ready to ride (firmly) mounted above (as if upon a horse).<br /><br />बैठा ब्रह्म अगनि परजलै ।।<br /><br />§ 49(2) Seated, moving in a repeated back-and-forth motion (circulate, spin the sublimated procreative force) causes (one) to be brought near (to) the supreme fire (when) the absolute highest point of the sap springs out (of the top of the head) like a fountain.<br /><br />आडै आसणि गोटिका बंध ।<br /><br />§ 49(3) Remaining seated, in (this) union (work hard to) pull and draw (up the sublimated procreative force, churning it around repeatedly) to lead (the) wild horse (to) run (and rise up).<br /><br />जावत प्रथिमी तावत कंध ।।४९।।<br /><br />§ 49(4) In this manner, drive this on faster, pressing forwards (and backwards) quickly to excite and make (the sublimated procreative seed) flow upwards (above the skull); stretching, extending the swelling (energy upwards) sprouting above the head and spraying out (like water).<br /><br />यहु मन सकती यहु मन सीव। <br /><br />§ 50(1) By the minds will, direct ones aim (repeatedly) towards the target, the purpose of ones desire to push rapidly without and stand outside swelling and growing upwards to (allow the sublimated seed to) flow, run and fly (out); repeatedly striking upwards from inside, strongly stretch up extending (as from internal pressure) (the energy above the top of the head) allowing the sap to pass through and fly upwards.<br /><br />Notes<br /><br />The yogin will "ride" himself in this ecstasy - it will happen naturally - the yogin will need no prior knowledge to be able to do this - when the time comes he will know what to do, and will do it naturally.

Really? Haven't we been down this destructive road for thousands of years? The explanations that this is all a warning about kama, not women, fall short. If this were the case, the scriptures and acharyas should have written more clearly. <br />Maybe the primary pitfall of yugal bhajan is fear of women disguised as religious piety.

The sexual intercourse is with one’s own female partner (spiritually “in vivo”), all exoteric practice is for the paśu of Saṃsāra.<br /><br /><br />Verses 138 -141 and 151 – 160 of the Dattātreya Yoga Śastra (English Translation by James Mallinson).<br /><br />The Jālandhara Lock (jālandharabandha)<br /><br />(138) [The yogin] should constrict the throat and firmly place the chin on the chest. This is the jālandhara lock. It prevents loss of the nectar of immortality (amṛta). (139) As long as it keeps drinking the nectar of immortality that has dripped from the thousand[-petalled] lotus in the skull of embodied beings, the fire at the navel burns brightly. (140) And so that the fire might not drink that nectar of immortality, [the yogin] should drink it himself. Through constant practice in this way, it goes by the rear pathway (141) and makes the<br />body immortal. For this reason one should practise jālandhara. <br /><br /><br />Vajroli<br /><br />I shall teach Vajroli, which is kept hidden by all yogins, (151) for it is a great secret, not to be given to all and sundry. But one surely should teach it to he who is as dear to one as one’s own life. (152). The yogin who knows Vajroli is worthy of success, even if he behaves self-indulgently, disregarding the rules taught in yoga. (153) I shall tell you the two things(necessary) for it which are hard for anyone to obtain, [and] which are said to bring about success for a [yogin] if he does obtain them: (154) Milk and Āngirasa. Of the two, the first is [readily] available. The second is hard for men to get; they must use some stratagem to procure it from women. (155-156) A man should strive to find a woman devoted to the practice of yoga. Either a man or a woman can obtain success if they have no regard for one another’s gender and practise with only their own ends in mind. If the semen moves then [the yogin] should draw it upwards and preserve it. (157) Semen preserved in this way truly overcomes death. Death [arises] through the fall of semen, life from its preservation. (158-160) All yogins achieve success through the preservation of semen. The method of practice by which Amaroli and Sahajoli arise is taught in the tradition of the Adepts (siddhānāṃ saṃpradāyataḥ).<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />M.N.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
