Vajra nadi is the basis of our life
The Vajranāḍī is the iron nerve, the root of all nerves extending from the earth through the spine to the brain. Maintaining its health brings strength and a long, peaceful life. Practitioners historically used wooden soles between toes and knees to control this nerve, a discipline that leads to profound inner understanding. Worshipping the holy feet of the Guru, often symbolized by touching such shoes, channels power. Applying colored tilak on the forehead is a sacred symbol; its point receives divine energy, dispelling negativity and bringing light, but only for those who comprehend its meaning. This practice aligns the body's nerve system, visualized as an inverted tree with roots below and fruits above, as described in scripture. The current practice focuses on three points: the Vajranāḍī (spine), the Aśvinī Mudrā (a contraction at the base), and the Brahmārī prāṇāyāma. Through these, one feels the vibration from the navel spreading throughout the entire body.
"Worshipping the Holy Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī, any ṛṣis, any sādhus, only touch those holy shoes."
"The tilak here, when it comes, the whole energy, light, peace, everything is coming to you. All negativity goes away."
