"If you knew him as I do you would not raise these doubts and play the word games you are playing to try to win your point."

I am not playing any games with words. I think what I have written is fairly straightforward:

1. I think the pictures of Shailendra are an inappropriate way to present techniques of Kriya. I suspect this is little more than a marketing ploy in an effort of get more converts.

2. The pics of Shailendra show him barely putting the tongue above the soft palette. One can find references in Lahiri Mahasaya's letters and also Pranabanana's Gita that indicate this this does not constitute mastery of khechari.

3. Your information on the website is contradictary. In particular, the quote from Frater DPAL and Hans' diagram show the tongue touching the sphenoid bone beneath the pituitary whereas Shailendra seems to have some ways to go before he reaches the sphenoid bone.

"I think he is more qualified than you to talk about what constitutes effective kechari mudra."

Quite possibly. However, I am not putting pictures of myself on the Internet demonstrating techniques of Kriya. I am not having my disciples (even if I had any) spam Kriya message boards trying to gain new converts. By posting these sorts of messages condemning other Kriya teachers you are opening yourself and your own teacher to criticism.
