VIBHUTI PAAD SUTRA - 32

                                      MURDH  JYOTISHI  SIDDHA  DARSHANAM

WHEN  ONE CONCENTRATES AT MURDHA-JYOTI,  HE SEES THE SIDDHA PURUSH


     In this Sutra, the message continues. When one concentrates at various places or things , he achieves the SIDDHIS or powers.So in this Sutra we are told that when one concentrates at the TOP OF HEAD where there is LIGHT - most likely the fontanel -This area is a gap in the skull when one is infant. The skull bones then fuse and then in adult life we can not feel the opening. In Hindu philosophy there are nine gates or the openings to the body. 2 eyes , 2 ears , 2 nostrils, one mouth and  one  anal opening and the lastly the ONE IN SKULL. The life can get out of the physical body from any of these openings . When KUNDALINI ascends and goes to the top there is enlightenment . So when one achieves this success , the life gets out of the body through THIS opening. When that happens, there is NIRVANA-MUKTI .

     The highly evolved Yogis have done it and they are in seventh level of the heaven. They still have the existence separate from the universal spirit or the energy - is to help human beings who need help in reaching that level. So when one concentrates on that part and gets enlightened, he SEES THE SIDDHAS or the YOGIS who have done the same . The success of reaching that level once is not enough and one needs to have command on it that he or she can do it at WILL. To get to that level , theses SIDDHAS can help or guide .

VIBHUTI PAAD SUTRA -31

                                                   KURMA  NADYAM  STHAIRYAM

(BY  CONCENTRATING  ON ) KURMA  NADI  ONE ATTAINS  STEADINESS

       This is interesting Sutra. We have been told as to the powers or the benefits that one gets when he achieves the perfection of the concentration on various parts . so to continue the same thing , in this Sutra ,we are told that when one concentrates on the KURMA NADI, he gets steadiness of the ?body ?of mind or ?both. In Hindu understanding of physical and the astral body , we have various NADIS . These are the channels through which the ENERGY flows. So there is always ASTRAL replica of PHYSICAL body. The KURMA NADI --KURMA MEANS TURTLE -is located bellow the throat. In the last Sutra the throat was referred to as WELL as it had several openings of tubes .So Kurma is bellow the throat . It most likely is ANAHAT CHAKRA or the area of the heart . If one looks at the anatomy of the heart, it can look like TURTLE , The heart itself could be the body of the turtle and the blood vessels that leave the heart and the enter the heart could be like extremities of the turtle.

    The heart rate and in tern the blood pressure goes up , when we are anxious , excited , agitated mentally or exercising -physically. So YOGI can control the heart rate and the blood pressure, when he succeeds in concentrating on this ANAHAT CHAKRA, which is located at the level of the heart. 

VIBHUTI PAAD SUTRA - 30

                                    KANTHA  KUPE  KSHUT  PIPASA  NIVRUTIH

          (BY  CONCENTRATING  ON  PIT  OF THE  THROAT ) ONE GETS CONTROL  OVER

                                          THE HUNGER  AND  THE THIRST

  The powers that one gets on concentrating at different places .one gets different powers. So in this Sutra we are told about the control of the hunger and the thirst. One needs the sensation of the hunger and the thirst to survive. If we do not feel hungry or thirsty, we will die. We breath and eat and drink . All these activities are related to throat. The throat has 7 different openings and it is compared to a well. These are 2 nostrils , 2 Eustachian tubes openings , one wind pipe and one food pipe and last one is called BRAHMARANDHRA ,(which connects to the base of the skull where the Pituitary gland rests) So this area is like railway junction, where number of things meet . The PRANAS are also 5 and APAN is to take in food and the water while UDAN is getting out . Again these things are to some extent related to throat area.

    So when one gets control of this area, he attains power over the hunger and the thirst. The hunger and the thirst cause disturbance in the practice of meditation . So when when we have a control of theses faculties , we can concentrate better without being disturbed by the hunger or thirst.
