Ashtanga Toni Romero : Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya photos

"I bow to Sri Hari, the supreme bliss, the primary teacher,

the Isvara, the all-pervading cause of all the worlds.

One should know that a real Yoga asana is that

in which meditations flows unceasingly with openness and ease,

and is not that in which happiness is destroyed.

That which is the root of all beings,

that root which bonds all of the mind

(all thought and experience)

That is Mula bandha, which should always be served

(attended to) and which is fit for rajayogins

By making the vrtti (present pattern of mind the object of meditation)

still, and then intuiting it to be sacred (the infinite Brahman), there is

the complete forgetting of the vrtti in the wisdom known as Samadhi."

Shankaracharya

"First with a strong inspiration fix the mind in the adhar lotus. Then engage in contracting the Yoni, which

is situated in the perineal space.

There let him contemplate that the God of love resides in that Brahma Yoni and that he is beautiful like

Bandhuk flower (Pentapetes pheanicia)-- brilliant as tens of millions of suns, and cool as tens of millions of

moons. Above this (Yoni) is a small and subtle flame, whose form is intelligence. Then let him imagine that

a union takes place there between himself and that flame (the Siva and Sakti)."
