Vignana Bhairava Tantra - 67

Into the heart

Vahanervishasya Madhyetu Chittma Sukhamayam Kshipeth|
Kevalam Vayupoornam Va Smaranandena Yujyate||

In the seat of the heart where all the nerves end in a plexus or a bundle there is a thin stream of energy like a lotus stalk. Focussing on this point where the breath reaches the lungs, as if touching an empty space and returning one gets united to the bliss within that is remembered. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Vignana Bhairava Tantra - 38

Anahata Naada

Anahate Patrakarne Bhagnashabde Sariddrute

Shabdabrahmani Nishnataha Param brahmadhigacchathi

Sound or Naada is classified as two types in classical music. One is Ahata Naada or sound that is created by playing on a musical instrument or by the human voice. The other is Anahata naada that is not created, but just exists in creation. This Tantra talks about listening to the unstruck sound that happens uninterruptedly like a flowing river. One who is able to withdraw into a silent space without and even from the noise of the mind within, becomes an adept in hearing this sound in the heart energy centre or the Anahata chakra. Listening to this sound absorbs one into the supreme Brahman consciousness. - Swahilya Shambhavi. (Photo: Guilia strumming at my veena when she came home, clicked by my friend Susan. Muthalaly)
