This question would be a good one for Gurucharan Singh. I took this

information from another meditation involving the same leg, and foot

position, but different hand position. The pressure on the right knee

on the liver, helps to balance the liver and spleen. The heel between

the outer sexual gland and the anus crosses at the meridian point which

stimulates the working balance of the gonads. The palms together

neutralizes the hemispheres of the brain, and the eyes focused at the

tip of the nose stimulates the pituitary gland. The power of this

mantra, Wahe Guru is maximized when chanted in this position. Once Yogi

Bhajan told a story of a good Gurusikh who chanted Wahe Guru

contiguously, but was still as neurotic as all get out. He wondered why

he had so many mental problems. Yogi Bhajan told him to chant Wahe Guru

in virasan, and his problems went away.

 

Sat Nam,
