- 3. About Science and Spirituality Two aspects of creation: • matter • consciousness (‘chetana’/soul) Two methods of study • Science – study of matter, physical forces/energies that influence matt er • Spirituality – study of consciousness and its evolution/progress Is it really so? Consciousness is superior to matter … so spirituality must be superior to science!

- 8. Jalandhar Bandha Contract the throat. Press the chin firmly on the chest. This Bandha is practised at the end of Puraka (inhalation) and beginning of Kumbhaka (retention of breath). By the practice o f this Bandha, the Prana moves in the right path. It is united with the Apana. Ida and Ping ala Nadis are shut out. The gastric fire which is situated in the region of Nabhi consumes t he nectar which exudes out of the Sahasrara through the hole in the palate. The Yogic stud ent should practise this Bandha in order to prevent the nectar being thus consumed. The Y ogi drinks the nectar and attains immortality.
- 9. UDDIYANA BANDHA Empty the lungs by a strong and forcible exhalation. Now contract and forcibly draw up the intestines and also the navel towards t he back, so that the abdomen rests against the back of the body high up in the thoracic cavity. He who practises this Bandha const antly conquers death and becomes young. This helps a lot in keeping up Brahmacharya. All Bandhas awaken the Kundalini. Uddi yana is practised in the end of Kumbhaka and beginning of Rechaka. When you practise this Bandha, the diaphragm, the muscular portion between the thoracic cavity and abdomen, is raised up, the abdominal wall is drawn backwards. Bend your trunk forwards, when you do Uddiyana. Uddiyana can be done in sitting and standing postures. When you practise in the standing posture, place y our hand on the knees or a little above the knees. Keep the legs a little apart. Uddiyana is a blessing to humanity. It imparts beautiful health, strength, vigour and vitality to the practioner. When it is combined with Nauli Kriya which consists in churning the contents of the abdomen it serves as a powerful gastro-intestinal tonic. These are t wo potent weapons of the Yogin to combat constipation, weak peristalsis of the intestines and the gastro-intestinal disorders of the alimentary system. It is by these two Yogic exercises alone you can manipulate and massage all the abdominal viscera and tone th em up. Those who want to practise Nauli should practise Uddiyana in the beginning. Uddiyana reduces fat in the belly. For abdominal ex ercises nothing can compete with Uddiyana and Nauli. They stand unique, unrivalled and unprecedented amongst all systems of p hysical exercises in the East and the West.
- 10. MULA BANDHA Press the Yoni with the left heel. Contract the anus. Forcibly draw upwards the Apana Vayu slowly by practice. Put the ri ght heel on the organ of generation. This is called Mula Bandha, destroyer of decay and death. The Siddhi or perfection in the practice of Pranayama is attained through the help of Bandhas. The practice of this Mula B andha helps Brahmacharya, gives Dhatu-Pushti (nerve-vigour), relieves constipation and increases the Jatharagni. He who practises Mula Bandha will keep up everlasting youth. No grey hair will manifest. The Apana Vayu which does the function of ejection of excreta has a natural tendency to move downwards. Through the practice of Mula Bandha the Apana Vayu is made to move upwards by contracting the anus and by forcibly drawing it up wards. The Prana Vayu is united with the Apana and the united Prana-Apana is made to enter the Sushumna Nadi or Brah ma Nadi. Then the Yogi attains perfection in Yoga. This is a secret in Yoga. Then the Yogi is dead to the world. He drink s the nectar of immortality. He enjoys Siva-pada in Sahasrara. He gets all divine Vibhutis and Aisvaryas. When the Apana is united with Prana, the Anahata sounds or different kinds of Nadas (mystical inner sounds) are heard v ery distinctly by the Yogi, because the outside worldly sounds are shut out now. He has deep concentration. Prana, Apana , Nada and Bindu unite now. The Yogi reaches perfection in Yoga.
