Bhairav and Bhairavi in Breath - Vigyaan Bhairav


Heart to Dwadashaant is place of Pran and from Dwadashaant to Heart is the place of Apan. Para itself appears in two form of vibrations and being Bharita/ भरिता shakti (filler) of both the spaces of inside and outside, is called Bhairav/ भैरव. That which moves from Heart to Dwadashaant/ द्वादशान्त् is called Pran and that which moves from Dwadashant to Heart is called Apan. This continuous movement of Pran and Apan is called Paradevi/ परादेवि. It is ever present in the breath and affecting chanting of matrikas.

The space between Heart and Dwadashaant without merging into Heart or Dwadashant, thus established in the central naadi or madhya naddi or Sushumana, which is without any sankalp or vikalp, that state is provider of Bhairav Tattva. The state which is without Kriya or Pran and Apan, that itself shines as Bhairavi.

The flow of Pran which cause the subjective experiences move into respective senses is called Urdhav. The Jeev, which has entered into all the sense experiences  and move in a subtle manner inside is called Apan and that movement is called Parashakti.  Place which consumes the subtle flow of Pran is called Heart/ हृदय and the other and is called Dwadashaant and the flow which takes place in between these two is called Unmesh/ उन्मेष or Sanghat/ संघट्ट. Since Pran and Apan does the work of filling and hence are called Bharita shakti. Pran and Apan are also referred as 'Unmesh' and 'Pad' respectively. The a-kaar(अ-कार) pervades every alphabet i.e. no alphabet can be spoken without the support of A/ अ and is called Urdhav and last letter Sa/ स-कार is called Adhah/ अधः. Thus the power which moves from SA-kaar to A-kaar and from A-kaar to Sa-kaar and the end of which Ha-kaar is shown is called Parashakti. It roams in the whole creation in duality by suppressing the differentiating elements with its effulgence. The joining of A-kaar and Ha-kaar which takes place in the path between Heart and Dwadashant is called Parashakti. Because of being higher, being cause of flow of Pran in the whole creation, the spread of three forces of Desire/ Iccha, Knowledge/ Gyan and Action/Kriya is called Urdhav. Due Vimarsh shakti, that form which is desirable is called Jeeva.

That which is in the form of Soma and cause of life or establishment of the Jeevas is called 'Adhah'. Thus in the form of Para, Apara, Parapara, the triad of three powers of lord itself are called Bharita. These are spread throughout the creation and at the time of rising of the Ishwar they are called Unmesh/ उन्मेष and during His establishment period, they are called Pad. As oil exists inside the sesame seed, in the same manner another power resides inside the triad of Para-Apara-Parapara and is called Turiya. Turiya infact is called Bharita Shakti or Parashakti. 

ह-कार is called Urdhav and Sa-kaar is called Adha. Heart and Dwadashaant, both are the places of rising of Hakaar and Sakaar, they provide strength to Shakti, thus are known as Bhiaravi Bhaav

Pran and Apan keep moving between Heart and Dwadashaant which is place in the forehead or a place 12 finger length away from nose tip outside the body, When it is about to move away from Dwadashaant and when it is about to return from Heart, in that state Bhairav form Bhairavi or Bharavi form Bhairav is realized. It provides bliss in anatahkaran. Shiv-Shakti appear in the dual form of Dharmi and Dharma or Prakaash-Vimarsh/ प्रकाश-विमर्श, but in actual, they are same or one element alone. It can be said, in the lotus of the heart, Pran arises and travels up to 12 fingers length in front of the nose out of our body. Till that length, it is called Pran. After that its movement stops, for a moment till Apaan arises in it, it is known as Bhairav. After that when Apan movement arises in it and it starts it return journey, then arising from Dwadashaant located outside at 12 fingers length till it reaches the heart it is called Apaan movement. Inside the heart lotus Apaan sets and till Pran arises, that very moment of no movement is called Bhairavi Shakti. (As per yog when one's breath becomes more and more subtle its effective length outside the body also gets reduced respectively from 12 finger to 11....to 10.....to 9 and at the end reaches 0 i.e. when one breathes from the tip of the nose and releases breath at the tip of the nose alone, that state of the yogi is called Paramhamsa. At that moment his dependence upon prakriti, five elements becomes negligible and he is his own lord.)

Heart lotus is the point of generation of Pran. When Pran moves from heart to the dwadashaant and has not started return journey, that state of Shunya is called Bhairav state. After this apan rises and starts moving till heart lotus. On reaching Heart it subsides. The moment when Apan has finished and pran has not arisen afresh to reverse the movement, its called state of Bhairavi

Thus in this movement of Praan and Apaan from Heart lotus to Dwadashaant and back Bhairav and Bhairavi arise, one who realizes them, achieves Moksha. A person may do anything, eat anything but remain continuously aware of these Shunya states, where Pran subsides Apaan arises or Apaan subsides and Praan arises, when he realizes these two states of Kumbhak i.e. Antrik Kumbhak and Bahiya Kumbhak, he is said to be a Non-doer. Knowing them one gets free of the cycle of birth and death.

When arising from heart movement of praan arises on its own it is called Rechak. Leaving the space of heart, Praan vaayu while going out touching every part on its path, this state is called Pran Vayu Poorak. When Aran vayu has subsided and Apan has not arisen yet to start the return journey to heart lotus, the state is called Bahiya Kumbhak or Apan Kumbhak.  From outside when Apan starts returning to the heart lotus while touching all the parts on the way back, it is called Apaan Poorak Avastha. On reaching the heart lotus when Apan totally subsides and Pran has not arisen a fresh yet, the state is called Antrik Kumbhak or Pran Kumbhak. 

The state which symbolizes absence of movement of both Pran and Apan is called Bhairavi state. Equipped with this Bhairavi shakti when yogi realizes Bhairavi mudra he transcends into Anav State. (Anav means from Anu/ Atom). While performing Rechak, when outward moving pran gets completely annihilated and Apan has not arisen yet to start its return journey, that state is Kumbhika Shakti. Similarly to gain access to inward space, when Pran vaayu relieves itself of the pran and has not embraced the Apan form yet that state is called Kumbhita State. This Bhiarav or Bhairavi state and its also called Shanta Shakti. During this alone, peace dawns and knowledge of the Param tattva arises. Pran while moving out, leaves its pranic nature and till it has not embraced Apanic form yet and the point in the heart when Apan has totally diminished and has not acquired the state of Pran yet, at these two shunyas one realizes the Bhairav and Bhairavi and state of 'I am That'. (23)

When the power of Pran or Apan through Rechak and Poorak is held in Kumbhak, it is called Shanta Shakti. It is named thus because it is at total peace, beyond name, with param swabhav, provides ultimate knowledge.
