Subject: The importance of kecahri

Dear fellow brothers and sisters(?). I apologize sincerely for bringing up this issue.. for I realize how much of an annoyance it must be for you all. But I would like to make the following points.

I had a discussion with a fellow brother about something he wrote on another board:

"Another thing which rarely happens is a nectar-like discharge from the roof of the mouth. Most of this seemed strange for a long time, especially the last one. But I have since seen it confirmed in the lessons."

Now I am sure you have all read about this nectar like substance:

"The advanced yogis know how by a certain technique...to unite the masculine positive current in the tongue with the feminine negative current in the uvula. In samadhi meditation, the conjunction of these currents produces a thrill of divine joy, and also a secretion of nectar into the mouth. Nourished by this nectar, the yogi can keep his body immobile indefinitely in the state of ecstasy. Many yogis, including the twentieth-century Giri Bala, have remained for long periods, even years, without food. This highly charged nectar is the "milk" from the fabulous "cow of plenty"

(Master's Gita, p. 792, Master's commentary on Verse 28, Chapter X)

And I am all sure that you are all aware the technique for this is the kechari mudra. However, and now I must get into the debates you all have been having. As some of you already said in previous posts, there is no instruction on how to do the kechari mudra (at all anywhere.. and I think the reasons are clearly obvious because moving your tongue up the throat and touching the ajna chakra from the inside isn't something that people are physically capable of doing with out devoted practice and training). The only available instruction on how to achieve kechari is the Talabya which Master did include. So you see.. kechari is important, but it is also (in a hidden manner) given to SRF students in the form of talabya (rolling the tongue back). Therefore, there should really be no need to argue or to even debate about this. I have also read and my humble apologize for I do not remember where, therefore I cannot state how acurate this information is, that the yogi naturally is capable of performing kechari once their body is purified enough (which from my understanding is what first kriya does).

Here are some valueable quotes:

43. If the Yogi drinks Somarasa (nectar juice) by sitting with the tongue turned backwards and mind concentrated, there is no doubt he conquers death within 15 days.
48. Immortal liquor is the nectar exuding from the moon (Chandra situated on the left side of the space between the eyebrows). It is produced by the fire which is generated by thrusting the tongue.

49. If the tongue can touch with its end the hole from which falls the rasa (juice) which is saltish, bitter, sour, milky and similar to ghee and honey, one can drive away disease, destroy old age, can evade an attack of arms, become immortal in eight ways and can attract fairies.

50. He who drinks the clear stream of liquor of the moon (soma) falling from the brain to the sixteen-petalled lotus (in the heart), obtained by means of Prana by applying the tongue to the hole of the pendant in the palate, and by meditating on the great power (Kundalini), becomes free from disease and tender in body, like the stalk of a lotus, and the Yogi lives a very long life.

51. On the top of the Meru (vertabral column), concealed in a hole, is the Somarasa (nectar of Chandra); the wise, whose intellect is not over-powered by Raja and Tamas gunas, but in whom Satwa guna is predominant, say there is the (universal spirit) atma in it. It is the source of the down-going Ida, Pingala and Susumna Nadis, which are the Ganges, the Yamuna and the Sarasvati. From that Chandra is shed the essence of the body which causes death of men. It should, therefore, be stopped from shedding. This (Khechari Mudra) is a very good instrument for this purpose. There is no other means of achieving this end.

Thank you all, and I hope this post will do more good than harm.
