English translation of the Tamil Spiritual Classic by Saint Tirumular

TANTRA THREE  Verses  701 -723 of 883

701: Prana Merges in the Five-Letters

When the precious prana reached Siva
It pervaded the nadis two hundred and thirty three
And in the Letters Five
Where Prana finally merges.


702: How Prana Pervaded the Nadis

The Prana that reaches Sakti
Emanating from the four petalled Muladhara
Where Kundalini fire is,
How Prana Pervaded the Nadis
The Prana that reaches Sakti
Emanating fro


703: Samadhi When Prana Reaches the Ninth Center

When Prana course through adharas six
Then will nectar be;
Then Prana reaches the Seventh Center of the Sun
And further onward proceeds to the Eighth Center of the Moon
In the Ninth Center Prana attains Samadhi.


704: In Samadhi Yogi Visions Light Divine

The Moon and the Sun are in the Uncreated Being
The Yogi that visions the Moon at the mystic junction of Nadis three
Is in Light merged;
He, attains Samadhi,
That had its beginning at the Navel Center.


705: Conduct of Aspirant For Yoga Samadhi

To give up thoughts of women
To think no more of kith and kin
To be meek in learning
To abound in jnana
To be sparing of speech
To listen to deeds of Siddhi
To sit unruffled
--These the ways of the aspirant of yoga samadhi.


706: Prowess of Those Who Attain Samadhi

He vanquishes death and age,
He enters into other bodies at will,
He confers paradise to the dead
He assumes form divine of Gods
He becomes learned in the twenty-one branches of Sivagamic lore
He who has mastered the Science of Breath.


707: Seek Lord Within

Vain is it seeking Lord
Wearing away sole of their feet
In pilgrimage to corners four
Of the seagirt world;
Only those who seek Him in love intense
Shall know the City of Lord.


708: Gods in Successive Adharas and Niradharas

Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra
Maheswara, Sadasiva,
Bindu, Nada, Sakti,
Para Bindu and Para Nada
In that ascending order
They all seek
Feet of Para-Para Beyond.


709: Unalloyed Bliss Beyond the Adhara Yoga

Worshipping the appropriate God at Centers
Ascend above;
There the cranial region is
Where Sakti and Siva reside
Shedding Sixteen Kalas of Mystic Moon;
Ascend yet beyond
There lies the region of Effulgent-Light;
Yet above it is bliss
Defying speech and thought.


710: Lord Himself Appears Before Yogis

They who practise yoga
Through Nadis breath in one flowing Moon and Sun
Become Beings Celestial;
To them who perform it unceasing true
The Lord Himself reveals.


711: Immortality for Yogis Who Have Reached the Ultima Thule

They who control breath
Will pervade all everywhere, unseen;
They who pierce the Mystic Lotus
Sending breath up through spinal column
And taste of its fragrant nectar
Will never death know.


12 KALA UNWAVERING

712: Yoga Leads to Divine Nectar

The Lord of the Fore-head-eye
That showed the path of Love Divine;
Seek Him in love intense;
The Ganga in cranium will in grace flow;
And in love exceeding, He your saviour will be.


713: Anchor Thoughts Firm on Lord

Anchor your thoughts firm on the Lord
Impregnable then you shall be;
Impregnable shall be your cognition organs four;
Impregnable shall be Kalas six and ten of the Moon within;
Impregnable shall be the Prana that is of life breath.


714: Way to Steady Kalas

Straight through Sushumna
The Prana stood unwavering
As a steady flame
And unto a still stone;
They who know
How the Lord stood commingled with Kalas
Know the Way True;
Even those in despair
Will espouse that Way.


715: Steady Prana Breath, Sankara Appears

When life breath is coursed up
Through the single channel Sushumna,
The Lord of Bhuta hordes,
Sankara of matted locks
Appears before you
Mounted on the Sacred Bull.


716: Sadhaka's State in Samadhi

They know not the time that passes in Samadhi
They look forward to the Big Time ahead,
Thus they direct the breath
Through the single channel Sushumna
To the void in cranium
There he stands, all conflicts resolved,
He truly is the Sadhaka.


717: Perform Yoga Penance and Reach Lord

Thus toward that goodly state
Practise yogic penance;
If you succeed in coursing breath
Into the lotus in cranium,
You shall gain the Lord
That remains hidden in Vedas.


718: Stages of Prana's Ascending Course

The breath has stages three
As Prana it courses upward
In single stream through spinal nadi;
And then spreads into cranial space
For the lotus there to blossom
And finally merges into the Divine Flame there.


719: Kundalini Yoga Turns the Body into Temple of Siva

The Kundalini Sakti that thus arose
Made her way aloft through the fleshly coil
And yet within me remained;
And She who created the worlds of Devas
Churned the mystic ambrosia within;
Drinking deep of it
This body became Siva's temple.


720: Know the Mystery of Prana Merging in Nada

The breath that glows within
None knows how it merges
When you know how it merges
Then can you reach the region
Where Nandi holds His sway.


721: Treasure Guru's Guidance for Yoga

As through breath you pierce the adharas
You shall vision clear;
Prana leaving the Kundalini Sakti
On its upward journey through Sushumna;
That you gain through the Guru guiding;
Take that as treasure precious gained.


722: Immortality Through Samadhi Yoga

The breath that arose twelve matras long,
If you control and absorb within,
Well may you live a thousand years on land and sea;
The body perishes not;
True this is,
Upon Lord Nandi I declare.


723: Experiences of Yogi When Prana Ascends

When Prana and Sakti their departure take
One from the other,
The yogi knows it this way;
Seven sounds he hears
Five colors he sees
Three odors he smells,
Two tastes he knows
Thus has the Lord of Light
The symptoms indicated.
