Eckongkaya Sat Nam. Thanks Kriya Swami. Why is Tantra Vidya not
secret as before? Why is it being revealed even to those who don't
want to know? It is because we approach Kurukshetra (Battlefield of
Bad People), ending in mass suicide by those too irrational for the
higher life.

The serpent began in Egypt. It was called Nak - similar to the
Sanskrit Naga. Egyptian hieroglyphs are written in consonants only,
so Nak was written as NK, the same as Ankh was written NKH. It was
often written as N.N. in both Egypt and India. N. means water. N.N.
means "Double Water", or "Two Nadis (Rivers or Rasas) Joined as One
in Shushumna", just as we are not to die outside of Varanasi, where
two rivers join as one at the confluence of two rivers, as explained
in the Kurma Purana, mentioned by Svatmarama.

The resulting Dwij or Second Birth, is genetically Androgynous, as
was Siva, in his incarnation as Ardhanarishwar - Androgynous because
in the first few weeks after conception, the Embryo hasn't yet a
particular sex differentiation. A vowel could be placed on either
side of the N, such as On or Na (which means water in many languages,
from which we get the English "Nativity" or birth, and the
Spanish "Nader" - to swim in water, or "Nacer" - to be born, to take
birth, or the Nepali Na or water and Nanny or female.

In the Holy Bible, "Joseph married the daughter of the priest of On".
Yogi Bhajan once told me that Om used to be pronounced "Ong". This
OM, now identified with the serpent, came to have at least four
meanings: Life, Water, Birth, and the Tantric mating of Surya (Sun)
and Soma (Monthly Moon Beverage), called Pavamana in the three
original Vedas (excluding the later Atharva Veda). PavaMana means
Pure Food. Ma Na means Mother Water, which from the male standpoint,
is the Beloved Soma to which the Vedas are dedicated. Mana is the
Biblical Manna from Heaven, as taught by Moses and Jesus.

The author of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Svatmarama, disciple of
Gorakhnath, has used symbology which invites misinterpretation,
although it is clear that Amaroli is Urine Therapy, and Vajroli is
Rasa Tantra - the practice we herein discuss. The text states that
one can find Moksha (Liberation from suffering) from this
one "shortcut" technique alone - Vajroli Mudra. There is no Soma but
that which comes from a woman, although it also came to connote the
sacramental waters of the male.

The Satapatha Brahmana, from The Sacred Books of the East Series, by
E. Max Mueller, states: "Soma is urine. Soma is seed." Khechari Mudra
is the inserting of the tongue into the yoni, in order to imbibe
those Genetic Secretions, whereby Sperm and Egg join as one, on the
macrocosmic level of two grown bodies. Mulabandha is the sealing up
(the Hermetic Seal or Bandha of MulPani) of Apana or "outflow",
similar to Urine Therapy - a Mootra Mudra.

Alternate Nostril Breathing, called Cross-Breathing in Mahayana,
symbolizes the exchange of Rasa between the Tantric Couple, which
Padmasambhava called The Yoga of the Three Psychic Nerves (Nadis,
Rivers), symbolized as the three-pointed Trident of Siva. The
original Christian Holy Trinity was Man, Woman, and the Inner Child
of Rejuvenation, which sends AtmaShakti out the God Chakra into
Akasha. There is but one Mahamudra, and that is Rasa Tantra, a
Mahamootra Sadhana, including both Bindus of white Shukra and red
Rajas, as well as dood.

Repeat after me the Four Rasas: Moot, Shukla, Rajas, and Dood. Is the
Tantric Rasa Mishra (mixed)? Otherwise, it's nixed. And has the
Bandha stopped all Apana? Is Prana (Bioplasma) in Shushumna? It is
not well to die (outside of "Benares"), if you are not used to Soul
Travel in Atma Swarup. Strange surprises cause hellish fear in
Akasha. Make your abode in Nirvanakaya. As the apostle Paul said: "I
die daily". Nothing to fear at death, and a chance for Physical
Immortality like Padmasambhava or Babaji. Sitarama Satanama.

holding a staff which is entwined with a serpent (or sometimes two).

represents the central support of the human body or spinal cord

> "Between twenty and thirty I gradually became more and more
agnostic and irreligious, yet I cannot say that I ever lost
that `indefinite consciousness' which Herbert Spencer describes so
well, of an Absolute Reality behind phenomena. For me this Reality
was not the pure Unknowable of Spencer's philosophy, for although I
had ceased my childish prayers to God, and never prayed to It in a
formal manner, yet my more recent experience shows me to have been in
a relation to It which practically was the same thing as prayer.
Whenever I had any trouble, especially when I had conflict with other
people, either domestically or in the way of business, or when I was
depressed in spirits or anxious about affairs, I now recognize that I
used to fall back for support upon this curious relation I felt
myself to be in to this fundamental cosmical It. It was on my side,
or I was on Its side, however you please to term it, in the
particular trouble, and it always strengthened me and seemed to give
me
> endless vitality to feel its underlying and supporting presence.
In fact, It was an unfailing fountain of living justice, truth, and
strength, to which I instinctively turned at times of weakness, and
It always brought me out. I know now that it was a personal relation
I was in to It, because of late years the power of communicating with
It has left me, and I am conscious of a perfectly definite loss. I
used never to fail to find It when I turned to It. Then came a set of
years when sometimes I found it, and then again I would be wholly
unable to make connection with it. I remember many occasions on which
at night in bed, I would be unable to get to sleep on account of
worry. I turned this way and that in the darkness, and groped
mentally for the familiar sense of that higher mind of my mind which
had always seemed to be close at hand as it were, closing the
passage, and yielding support, but there was no electric current. A
blank was there instead of It: I couldn't find anything.

connection with it has entirely left me; and I have to confess that a
great help has gone out of my life. Life has become curiously dead
and indifferent; and I can now see that my old experience was
probably exactly the same thing as the prayers of the orthodox, only
I did not call them by that name. What I have spoken of as `It' was
practically not Spencer's Unknowable, but just my own instinctive and
individual God, whom I relied upon for higher sympathy, but whom
somehow I have lost."

about eleven o'clock in the morning. The particular accompaniments of
the experience were entirely unexpected. I was quietly sitting at
home singing selections out of Pentecostal Hymns. Suddenly there
seemed to be a something sweeping into me and inflating my entire
being- such a sensation as I had never experienced before.
>
> When this experience came, I seemed to be conducted around a large,
capacious, well-lighted room. As I walked with my invisible conductor
and looked around, a clear thought was coined in my mind, `They are
not here, they are gone.' As soon as the thought was definitely
formed in my mind, though no word was spoken, the Holy Spirit
impressed me that I was surveying my own soul. Then, for the first
time in all my life, did I know that I was cleansed from all sin, and
filled with the fullness of God."

of my soul was so great that I rushed into the back room of the front
office, to pray. There was no fire and no light in the room;
nevertheless it appeared to me as if it were perfectly light. As I
went in and shut the door after me, it seemed as if I met the Lord
Jesus Christ face to face.

that it was wholly a mental state. On the contrary, it seemed to me
that I saw him as I would see any other man. He said nothing, but

I have always since regarded this as a most remarkable state of mind;
for it seemed to me a reality that he stood before me, and I fell
down at his feet and poured out my soul to him. I wept aloud like a
child, and made such confessions as I could with my choked utterance.
It seemed to me that I bathed his feet with my tears; and yet I had
no distinct impression that I touched him, that I recollect. I must
have continued in this state for a good while; but my mind was too
much absorbed with the interview to recollect anything that I said.

the interview, I returned to the front office, and found that the

fire, I received a mighty baptism of the Holy Ghost. Without any
expectation of it, without ever having the thought in my mind that
there was any such thing for me, without any recollection that I had
ever heard the thing mentioned by any person in the world, the Holy
Spirit descended upon me in a manner that seemed to go through me,
body and soul. I could feel the impression, like a wave of
electricity, going through and through me. Indeed, it seemed to come
in waves and waves of liquid love; for I could not express it in any
other way. It seemed like the very breath of God. I can recollect
distinctly that it seemed to fan me, like immense wings.

literally bellowed out the unutterable gushings of my heart. These

to pass over me.' I said, `Lord, I cannot bear any more;' yet I had
no fear of death.

> "How long I continued in this state, with this baptism continuing
to roll over me and go through me, I do not know. But I know it was
late in the evening when a member of my choir- for I was the leader
of the choir – came into the office to see me. He was a member of the
church. He found me in this state of loud weeping, and said to
me, `Mr. Finney, what ails you?' I could make him no answer for some
time. He then said, `Are you in pain?' I gathered myself up as best I
could, and replied, `No, but so happy that I cannot live.'"
> Kundalini elevates to a state of effulgent happiness
> "My tears of sorrow changed to joy, and I lay there praising God in
such ecstasy of joy as only the soul who experiences it can
realize." – "I cannot express how I felt. It was as if I had been in
a dark dungeon and lifted into the light of the sun. I shouted and I
sang praise unto Him who loved me and washed me from my sins. I was
forced to retire into a secret place, for the tears did flow, and I
did not wish my shopmates to see me, and yet I could not keep it a
secret."- "I experienced joy almost to weeping."- "I felt my face
must have shone like that of Moses. I had a general feeling of
buoyancy. It was the greatest joy it was ever my lot to experience."-
"I wept and laughed alternately. I was as light as if walking on
air. I felt as if I had gained greater peace and happiness than I had
ever expected to experience."
