Muladhara
is the first chakra. Svadhishthana is the second.
Between
these two is said to be the seat of yoni (perineum),
having
the form of Kama (God of love). In the Adhara of the
anus,
there is the lotus of four petals. In its midst is said
to
be the yoni called Kama and worshipped by the siddhas. In
the
midst of the yoni is the Linga facing the west and split at
its
head like the gem. He who knows this, is a knower of
the Vedas.
He
is knower of yoga who knows that prana always
draws itself from apana and apana draws itself
from prana
Paramesvari
(viz., kundalini sakti) sleeps shutting with her mouth
that
door which leads to the decayless Brahma-hole. Being aroused
by the contact of agni with manas and prana, she takes
the form of a needle and pierces up through
Sushumna. The
yogin should open with great effort this door
which is shut.
Then
he will pierce the door to salvation by means of kundalini.
Folding
firmly the fingers of the hands, assuming firmly the
Padma
posture, placing the chin firmly on the breast and fixing
the mind in dhyana, one should frequently raise
up the apana.
When
this Jalandhara bandha which is
destroyer
of the pains of the throat is performed, then nectar
does not fall on agni nor does the vayu move.
This
bindu is twofold, white and red. The white one is called
sukla
and the red one is said to contain much rajas. The
rajas
which stays in yoni is like the colour of a coral. The bindu
stays
in the seat of the genital organs. The union of these two
is
very rare. Bindu is siva and rajas is sakti. Bindu is the
moon
and rajas is the sun. Through the union of these two is
attained
the highest body ; when rajas is roused up by agitating
the
s akti through vayu which unites with the sun, thence is
produced
the divine form. Sukla being united with the moon
and
rajas with the sun, he is a knower of yoga who knows the
proper mixture of these two.
