Introduction to Tantra Sastra - Aghori

YOGA 141
closes the nostrils, making sixty-four japas. While making
the japa he thinks that the body of “the man of sin” is
being burnt and reduced to ashes (by fire). He then
exhales through the right nostril with thirty-two japas.
He then meditates upon the white candra-bija “haṃ.”
He next inhales through Iḍ a, making japa of the bija
sixteen times, closes both nostrils with japa done sixtyfour
times, and exhales through Piṇgala with thirty-two
japas. During inhalation, holding of breath, and exhalation,
he should consider that a new celestial body is
being formed by the nectar (composed of all the letters
of the alphabet, matṛ ka-varṇ a) dropping from the moon.
In a similar way with the bīja “vaṃ,” the formation of
the body is continued, and with the bīja “laṃ” it is
completed and strengthened. Lastly, with the mantra
“Sohaṃ,” the sadhaka leads the jīvātmā into the heart.
Thus Kuṇ ḍ alinī, who has enjoyed Her union with Paramaśiva,
sets out, on her return journey the way she
came. As she passes through each of the cakras all that
she has absorbed therefrom come out from herself and
take their several places in the cakra.
In this manner she again reaches the mūlādhāra,
when all that is described to be in the cakras are in the
position which they occupied before her awakening.
The Guru’s instructions are to go above the ājñā
cakra, but no special directions are given; for after this
cakra has been pierced the sādhaka can reach the
brahmasthāna un-aided. Below the “seventh mouth of
Śiva” the relationship of Guru and śiṣya ceases. The
instructions of the seventh amnaya are not expressed
(aprakāśita).
