Touching the top of the head, one should repeat the varuNabIja as Om vam Om

twentyfour times meditating shrIvAsudhEva & imagine that the nectar stream

The worshipper should then do prANAyAma (controlling of breath) & perform

thathvanyAsa & mAthRukAnyAsa:

 

prANAyAma consists of three stages.

a). rEchaka i.e. expelling bad air form the lungs.

b). pUraka i.e. filling the lungs with fresh air.

c). kumbhak i.e. holding the breath for sometime.

 

The thanvanyAsa consists in meditating the presiding deities of different

thathva situatied in the different positions of the body including the fingers

of the hand & the foot.

 

In mAthRukAnyAsa, the fiftyone Deities of the different alphabets are considered

as residing in different parts of the body. Thus our whole body & its functions

are to be regarded as controlled by different Deities or different forms of the

Lord. The details of the two operations should be learnt from other books.
