Shiv Swarodaya - Complete Text
Shiv Swarodayais the basic scripture on the science of breath.
Here, we have tried to reproduce it in English translation sloka by
sloka for the benefit of those who find it difficult to understand
for various reasons. This work was carried out by another sadhak
and is being shared here.
1.I bow to lord Shiva, Goddess Parvatiji, and Lord Ganesha, and
to Guru and Supreme Soul who grant liberation from this transient
universe.
The Goddess Spoke
O God of Gods Mahadeva !
2.Please bestow upon me that knowledge through which one can
attains all siddhis (accomplishments and fortunes) .
3.O God of all Gods, how did this universe originate? Why does
it change ? And how does it merge into its source ? How does it get
destroyed ? Please explain to me the real nature and the essence of
this world.
Lord Shiva Spoke
4.O Goddess ! This world has emerged from the tattwas ( the
basic five elements) and in the tattwas occur its alteration,
preservation, and destruction. Accordingly, the nature of this
universe is decided on the basis of tattwas only.
The Goddess Spoke :
5.O Maheshji, the sages and the prophets, who know the real
essence of the tattwas have decided that it is the tattwas which
are the root essence of this world. Hence, please describe those
tattwas and kindly cast an illuminating light on the nature of
tattwas.
Lord Shiva Spoke:
6.From that one unchanging, eternal, and formless paramatma
(supreme self) originate the sky; and from sky originated the
Air.
7.From Air originated Fire; and from fire originated the water.
In this way these five elements diversely emanate the whole
world.
8.The cosmos was created through the above mentioned tattwas,
from those elements only is this world preserved. And finally, this
world dissolves into those very five elements only.
9.O Beauty ! This body (Shivas human ?) is created from the
above mentioned five-tattwas. They subtly emanate in this body.
Only the omniscient yogis comprehend those subtle tattwas (in the
body).
10.Now I / we mention all the main sounds established in human
body, those sound which are the cause for all sounds like a By
mediating on the Sah sound while inhalation and on aham sound while
exhalation (thereby forming the mantra so-ham) one becomes
omniscient and acquires the knowledge of the part, present and the
future.
11.This science is most secretive of all secret knowledges. It
is the best as it reveals the most essential and beneficial
knowledge to us.
12.Though the Swarodaya Knowledge in the subtlest of all subtle
knowledge, yet the knowledge of this science is easy to acquire and
is truth-revealing. It is a source of amazement to the atheists. It
helps, aids, and assists the theists.
13.The knowledge of the science of swaras is to be imparted only
to the disciple who is of peaceful disposition, pure of thoughts
and conduct, disciplined, having boundless devotion to the guru,
possessing the firm determination and gratefulness towards
benefactors.
14.It should not be given to anyone who is wicked, lacking
virility, short tempered, vicious, atheist, lacking character, and
the one who commits adultery with his Gurus wife.
15.O Goddess! Now listen to this great knowledge / science as I
mention it to you. By realizing this knowledge one acquires
knowledge of all sciences and becomes omniscient.
16.Within the swaras is the complete knowledge of the Vedas
& all other scriptures. Swaras contain the three worlds. Swaras
are the essence of atman itself.
17.The knowledge of astrology without the knowledge of swaras is
just like a house without an owner, a mouth lacking scriptures, and
body without head. Hence, the knowledge of swaras is indispensable
for an astrologer.
18.That one who can differentiate between the nadis, pranas,
tattwas, and between pingala, Ida, Sushumna, and other nadis,
attains liberation.
19.O beauty! Some people consider it auspicious to attain the
knowledge of swaras through the strength of auspicious vayu.
20.The whole universe, its macro and microcosm, have been
created by Swara. Swara is the cause of creation and its
destruction. Swara is lord shiva himself.
21.Nothing in the universe seen, heard, or otherwise experienced
is better more confidential, or subtle than the knowledge of
swaras.
22.The enemies can be overpowered via the power of Swaras.
Similarly, one can attain Lakshmi (prosperity), favour of friends,
fame, and all other kinds of pleasures via swaras.
23.Through the power of Swaras one can get his consort, and can
have a meeting with the rulers. So, the Gods, can be realized (and
their perfection attained). The most powerful entities can be
controlled via Swaras.
24.One must undertake journeys to other countries or cities,
have food, urinate, and excrete only after keeping in mind the
positive or negative flow of breath or aspects of Swaras.
25.O lady with pleasant visage! all the scriptures,
philosophies, eighteen puranas, smritis (revealed knowledge
epiphanies) and Vedas are but a branch of the knowledge of Swaras.
Nothing in universe is better than the Swaras.
26.Until they dont possess the knowledge of the tattwas, the
people will remain under the illusion of names and forms like
ignorant fools.
27.The Swarodaya Shastra is the best of all scriptures. It is a
great light which enlightens the human spirit.
28.This knowledge must not be given simply to answer to anyones
queries. It must be kept safe in ones mind / psyche, voice and
intellect to use it for the evolution of the atman.
29.Having the knowledge of Swaras it is not necessary to consult
and have the knowledge of date, time, day, stars, planets, gods,
conjunction or assortment of stars & planets for the evolution
of the atman.
30.Having the favourable flow of swaras bestows all the
favourable results. Neither in the past nor in the future will
there be any inauspicious time to effect the favourable results
bestowed by the swaras.
31.O Goddess! All the auspicious results can be had if one has
the power of positive flow of swaras. As per the swara shastra
neither in the past, nor in the future will there be any time which
is inauspicious for applying the principles of Swara Shastra.
32.There are myriads of nadis throughout the body. The wise must
comprehend them for the true understanding of their body.
33.There are seventy two thousand nadis which extend throughout
the navel to the shoulders. These are spread around the spine like
sprouts.
34.The kundalini Shakti which resides in these nadis in the
shape of a serpent has ten nadis above and ten nadis below her.
35.Out of total twenty four nadis (two groups of nadis going on
each side in oblique / slanting direction) out of them ten are
specially important as they contain the flow of ten vayus.
36.From the nadis mentioned earlier ten are primary and out of
them Ida, Pingala, and Sushumana are the foremost.
37.The remaining seven primary nadis include Gandhari,
Hastijivha, Poosha, Yashashwini, Alambusha, Kuhu and Shankhini.
38. Up, down, and oblique nadis are the very basis of vayu and
body. They are spread like a wheel in the body and are themselves
based on the vital force (prana).
Position / Placement of the nadis
39. Ida is positioned on the left side of the body, Pingala on
the right, Sushumna in the centre, while Gandhari is in the left
eye.
40. Hastijivha nadi is in the right eye, Poosha in the right
ear, Yashashwini in the left ear, and Alambusha resides in the
mouth.
41. Kuhu is in the linga (reproductive organs) Shankhini is in
the anus area / part. Thus, the ten foremost nadis of the body
reside in ten openings of the body.
42. The Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna are located in the pranic
passage of the body. The above mentioned ten nadis reside in the
subtle human body (and not in the gross body).
43. The ten primary nadis have been mentioned. Now listen to the
names of the corresponding vayus. They are known as prana, Apana,
Samana , Udana and Vyana. These are five main vayus.
44. Naga, Kurma, Krikal, Devdatta, and Dhannanjaya are the five
subsidiary pranas. The all pervading Chi / Ki / Prana resides in
the heart. The Apana vayu resides in the anus / excretory
organs.
45. Samana is in the navel region. Udana resides in the centre
of throat. The Vyana vayu pervades the whole human body. Thus
mentioned ten vayus are prominent.
46. The location of prana, Apana, Samana, Udana , and vyana has
been told. Now I tell you the location / position of the remaining
five vayus.
47. Kurma facilitates blinking, opening & closing of
eye-lids ; krikala facilitates sneezing ; Naga vayu is for belching
( & vomiting), Devdatta is for yawning.
48. The Dhannanjaya is spread throughout the human body and does
not leave it even after its death. In this manner the ten above
mentioned vayus move through all the nadis of a living being.
49. The wise must know the movement of Prana vayu in human body
via the help of Ida, Pingala, and Sushumana.
50. Ida is known to be situated in the left side of spinal cord,
Pingala is on the right. They criss-cross each other at various
points as they have a serpentine structure.
They criss-cross each other while appearing to be moving in a
serpentine motion.
51. The moon element of the body resides in the Ida. The sun
element is in Pingala. Lord Shiva himself resides the So-ham /
Sushumna nadi in the form of Ham-Sa (the mantra formed of the
combined sound of inhalation and exhalation- therefore the Sushumna
is verily known as the form of Lord Shiva himself.)
52. The sound of Sa while inhalation and Ha while exhalation is
produced. The ha sound has been described as the form of Shiva,
while Sa is Shakti herself.
53. The controller / co-ordinator of Ida / left nadi (moon) is
situated there in the form of Shakti, the primeval Godess.
Similarly, the controller / co-ordinator of Pingala / right nadi
(the sun) is located there in lord Shivas form.
54. If a wise person performs a charitable deed while inhaling
and consciously meditating on Sa sound, the result of such
charitable deed gets multiplied million fold.
55. Thus, the yogi must be calm, alert, and one pointed. In this
manner he is able to comprehend everything by observing the
happenings and activities of the solar and the lunar naids.
56. One must concentrate and mediate on this tattwa with a
stable and calm mind. Never must one concentrate on it with an
unsteady or wavering mind. By this one gets attains the desired
goal great gains, and victory.
57. Those persons who always regularly perform the practice of
controlling Lunar (Ida) and Solar (Pingala) nadis fervently attain
omniscience.
58. The left side Ida nadi is like amrit (nectar, ambrosia,
panecia) providing nourishment to the universe always. The right
(pingala) nadi is the source of all creation.
59. The Sushumna nadi situated in the middle of spinal cord is
cruel, malignant / malefic for all acts. The lunar nadi Ida on the
left side always endows success in all auspicious activities.
60. The left channel of pranic energy Ida is auspicious while
moving out of the house. While returning or entering / moving in
Pingala (the right channel is auspicious. The moon nadi is always
EVEN while the sun nadi is always ODD.
61. The moon nadi (ida) which is the left-sided pranic energy
channel is considered the female principal. The sun nadi (pingala)
which is right sided pranic channel, is the male principal.
The colour of Lunar nadi is white and that of Solar Nadi is
black. Therefore, auspicious works / acts and deeds must only be
performed during the flow of Ida.
62. During the flow of Surya nadi (pingala), cruel, difficult
& hard tasks must be performed. During the Sushumna flow
actions pertaining to the bhukti (sensual pleasures) and mukti
(liberation / nirvana) are to be performed.
63. During the first three days of Shuklapaksha (the bright
fortnight), the Ida flows and then alternates. (1st,2nd,3rd-IDA,
4th,5th,6thPingla, thus they keep alternating). While, conversely,
during the first three days of Krishnapaksha (the dark fortnight),
the Pingala flows first. (1st,2nd,3rdPINGLA, 4th5th,6thIDA thus
they alternate).
64. In the bright fortnight, the lunar swara rises from the time
of sunrise and continues till the time span of two & a half
Ghadis ( 60 minutes). In the dark fortnight, the solar Swara
(Pingala ) rises first. So, these swaras flow alternately for a
period of two-and-a half ghadis ( 60 minutes) throughout the twenty
four hours of a day.
65. In between these ghadis, the five elements get activated and
flow. If the swaras flow as per the above mentioned rules then one
can resume his / her activities. Conversely, the daily activities
are not to be performed if the flow of Swara is unfavourable.
66. During the first three days of bright fortnight, the Ida
Swara must flow first, and during the dark fortnight the right
pranic channel pingala must flow initially.
67. A wise person must never let the moon swara flow during the
night. Similarly the sun swara must be suppressed during daytime.
By practicing in this manner daily and continuously one becomes a
yogi.
68. During the rise of pingala, the sun element is under ones
control. The moon is under control during Ida. The person who knows
the flow of Swaras in this manner can control the universe in a
second.
69. If a day starts with lunar swara at sunrise and ends with
the solar swara at sunset, then this cycle of swaras produces many
beneficial and auspicious effects. If the cycle of swaras is
contrary to this then all the auspicious acts must be avoided
during such period.
70. The acts performed on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday , and
Friday while the left Swara or Ida nadi is flowing endow success in
all auspicious deeds ( more so if it is a bright fortnight).
71. Similarly, if right swara flows on Sunday, Tuesday, and
Saturday then all deeds performed get accomplished. Success is
inevitable if such deeds are performed during the darker
fortnight(krishan paksh).
Pattern of flow of Five Tattwas
72. Theairelements flows first of all in either nadis. Then
follows thefireelement, and then flows theearthelement.
Theskyelement is active in the end. (Air touches the sides of the
nasal passage, Fire touches the top, Water touches the bottom of
the nasal passage and Earth flows in centre of it).
73. The five tattwas arise and flow in the above mentioned
sequence for the duration of two-and-a-half ghadis (1 hour) in each
of the nadis separately.
74. During the time-span of one day and night (24 hours), 12
zodiac transitions are said to occur.Taurus, Cancer, Virgo,
Scorpio, Capricorn, and Piscesoccur & transit during the flow
of Ida. These zodiac signs are considered to be of moon
(dominated).
75.Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquariusoccur and
transit during the flow of solar swara pingala, and they are
considered to be sun dominated. One must determine the auspicious
and inauspicious result via the rise of swaras in the right
nadi.76. The moon resides in the (represents)East and
Northdirections. The Sun (Solar Swara) represents theWest and
South. Hence, one must not travel towards West and South while the
Solar Swara is active.
77. While the lunar Swara Ida is flowing, one must not travel
towardsNorth & Eastotherwise there is a probability that the
person may never return because of the perils of journey and threat
from the enemies.
78. Hence, the wise scholars, who desire good for all, have
prohibited journey in the Swaras-directions in the combinations
mentioned above. Or, they might even have to face death.
79. If the lunar Swara Ida flows at the time of Solar Swara
Pingalas flow, during the second day of bright fortnight, then it
has been observed that one experiences profit and prosperity for
auspicious deeds.
80. That day, when solar swara Pingala flows at the time of
Sunrise and the Lunar swara at the time of moonrise, all kinds of
actions undertaken at any time throughout the span of 24 hours will
be successful.
81. Contrarily, if the Lunar Swara flows at the time of Sunrise
and the Solar Swara at the time of moonrise then loss, conflicts,
and sorrows ensue. Auspicious deeds are to be avoided at such
times.
82. During the flow of Solar Swara, one can undoubtedly acquire
the knowledge of the subtlest and difficult subjects. Contrarily,
during the flow of lunar Swara, the knowledge of above mentioned
subjects cannot be acquired.
83. Starting from the first four ghadis of morning if the flow
of Swaras is opposite, e.g. if the lunar Swara flows during the
time of solar Swara then the results are unfavourable.
84. In such a flow of Swaras, the mind is perturbed during the
1stghadi. In the 2ndghadi the wealth gets destroyed; in the 3rd,
travel or movement ensues; in the 4thghadi, there is a loss of dear
things.
85. During the 5thghadi, there is the loss of ones
state/province; disease and death occur during the 7th; and death
during the 8thghadi. Thus is the result of opposite or reverse
Swaras.
86. If the opposite Swara flow for eight successive days during
all three periods (morning, noon and night) then bad results occur.
A little reduction or irregularity in this is good.
87. If the lunar Swara flows during morning and noon, and the
solar Swara during evening (dusk), then one gets victory daily. If
the Swaras flow in the opposite manner, there is loss & defeat
and one must avoid almost everything during such period.
88. If the left or right Swara is active along with partially
active Sushumna, then one must start journey by putting the
corresponding foot forward to achieve success.
89. While starting a journey, one must put left foot forward if
the moon swara is active and right foot if sun Swara is active to
ensure success.
90 While getting up after sleeping if one touches that side
cheek which corresponds to the active Swara with the palm of same
hand one gets the desired fruit.
91 At the time of giving or receiving anything or going out of
house, using the same hand or foot which is on the side of active
Swara is best.
92 By acting in such a manner, one is free from conflict, loss,
destruction and affliction by enemies. One is relieved of all the
troubles and returns home merrily.
93. While sitting with Guru(s), king, brother, minister and
other beneficial person, one must keep them towards the side of
active Swara for attaining auspicious effects.
94. To overcome an enemy, commit theft, while igniting the fire,
while committing unrighteous deeds one must keep the person or
object on the side of non-active Swara.
95. Some people believe that journeys to far off lands must be
undertaken/started while the flow of lunar Swara, while the journey
(s) to nearby lands is to be undertaken during the solar Swara.
96. Whatever has been mentioned till now regarding war and
benefits undoubtedly comes to pass when the respective Swaras are
actively flowing.
97. While the flow of Shunya nadi (Sushumna), the above
mentioned actions like wars, battles, and other beneficial
deeds/actions become futile. This has been mentioned by Lord Shiva
himself and thus, a gospel truth.
98. During the flow of Purna Swara, performance of activities
like punishing the wicked, imparting knowledge, committing fraud,
facing an angry master, committing theft, etc. bear terribly
horrific results.
99. The lunar Swara is beneficial for starting long journeys. It
ensures success without obstacles. The solar Swara is beneficial
for activities like entering a house.
100. The flow of Swaras can make an incapable and incompetent
person fully capable and competent and vice-versa. As all the
beings are under the control of the results of their previous
karmas, therefore, they must act according to the flow of Swaras
like Sushumna.
101. The active lunar Swara can act even as an antidote to
poison. The active solar Sara is beneficial for bringing the
powerful under the control. While the third Swara (Sushumna)
bestows liberation. Thus, one God has threefold functions and
existence.
102. The nadis must flow according to the nature of work(s) to
be performed throughout day and night. If the Swaras are made to
flow as per the nature of work e.g. then lunar Swara for auspicious
work and Solar Swara for inauspicious then success in all ventures
is assured.
103. While performing worship, penance, and other stable and
permanent actions and giving long-lasting results, while wearing
jewellery, starting journey to far-off lands, while performing one
dharma(s) throughout four stages of life namely Brahmcharya
(celibacy), Grahastha (house holders life), Vanaprastha (Going to
jungle, mountain or far off land to lead a spiritual life/ and
Sanyara (formal declaration renunciation of world and the
performance of rituals attached therewith) and while collecting the
Ida nadi provides optimum results.
104. While digging ponds and well, digging a pole, consecrating
(ritualistically) the image/idol of a deity, giving donation,
journeying, marrying, wearing clothes, jewellery, and other
decorative articles, the flow of ida is beneficial.
105. Performing activities pertaining to peace-establishment,
acquiring nourishment from divine herbs and chemicals, meeting ones
master, befriending someone, doing business activities, and
collecting food-grains, ida is auspicious.
106. While entering a new house, doing service, sowing and
farming, doing auspicious deeds, forming alliances and treaties,
and while leaving for a journey, Ida is auspicious.
107. For starting studies or research, seeing brothers and
relatives in birth and death, in dharmic deeds, for getting
spiritual invitation (Deeksha), for perfecting ones mantra, Ida is
the best.
108. For learning Sutras (verses) pertaining to the Science and
knowledge of time (past, present and future), bringing cattle and
pets to home, treating incurable and deadly disease, and addressing
ones master.
109. Mounting an elephant or a horse, tying them (or putting
them in their stables), learning the art of archery, doing
charitable services, collecting wealth.
110. Singing, playing musical instruments, dancing, studying the
art of dance, drama, and other aesthetic activities, entering a
city or village, applying tilak, buying land.
111. Facilitating, helping, pacifying the ones having sorrows,
sufferings, fever, ailments or who are unconscious, interacting
with relatives and master(s)and for collecting wood and grains.
112. O Parvati! Ida is also beneficial for womens dental
decoration, for the arrival of rain, for worshipping Guru, and for
removing the effects of poison.
113. The acts like practice of yoga are especially fruitful
during the flow of Ida. But such acts must be avoided if fire, air
or ether elements are active and flowing therewith Ida (The above
mentioned acts are fruitful during the flow of Ida only if earth
and water elements are also active).
114. All good acts during day and night fructify during the flow
of Ida. In fact, the lunar Swara is best for doing all auspicious
activities.
115. While learning or teaching cruel knowledges and arts, while
meeting women and prostitutes (for sexual purposes), boarding a
large ship, pingala flow is beneficial.
116. It is beneficial for wicked acts like drinking Sura (wine),
practicing difficult vir (tantric) mantras and performing such kind
of worship, destroying the country (enemy) in a state of unrest,
and poisoning the enemy.
117. Practicing the scriptures, journeying, selling or buying
cattle, making bricks, wood and jewellery by cutting grinding and
polishing.
118. Practicing the use of weapons, yantras, and tantra,
climbing a fort or a mountain summit, gambling, stealing, while
mounting and controlling an elephant, horse, a chariot and other
vehicles.
119. While exercising, performing six acts of black magic like
Maran and Uchchatan (killing and emotionally destabilizing the
enemy through rituals), while overcoming the extra-terrestrial
beings like ghosts, Yakshas and Yakshinis (demigods), Vetal (evil
spirits), and the effects of poison, Pingala in auspicious.
120. While keeping a donkey, camel, buffalo, while mounting an
elephant or a horse, while crossing a river or pond, taking
medicines, healing one self or others, and while writing, alphabets
Pingala (solar) nadi is the best.
121. The acts like Maran black, Mohan, Stambhan Uchachatan
(killing, enchanting, paralyzing, respectively, via black magic),
controlling others by rituals of black magic, inspiriting,
attracting, being enraged, giving donations, and buying and
selling.
122. Attracting evil spirits, bearing malice, getting rid of
enemies, using sword while battling the enemy, having sensual
pleasures, meeting the king, eating, bathing, performing formal and
behavioural tasks and doing outstanding and shining deeds is best
accomplished during the flow of Pingala.
123. The wise must perform the acts like eating, pleasing the
senses, activating the appetite, womanizing, and sleeping during
the solar Swara flow.
124. All kinds of harsh, cruel, deeds involving versatility and
dynamism are successful during the flow of Pingala nadi.
125. If ida (lunar) Swara flows during one moment and Pingala
(Solar) Swara flows during the second then such a flow of Swaras is
called Sushumna flow. Know and remember that such destroys the
fruit of all activities.
126. The fire of destruction is said to be residing in the
Sushumna nadi. Know it to be the poison, destroyer of all the
actions.
127. If Ida and Pingala nadis flow irregularly violating their
flow then the consequences arising there from are inauspicious
without any doubt.
128. When the Swara flow through Ida at one moment and through
Pingala at the other then such a sequence of flow is said to be
adverse. O Godess of boons, during such time the undesired results
for all activities ensue.
129. The wise say that the simultaneous flow of both the Swaras
is like the effects of poison. All actions, whether auspicious or
inauspicious, good or bad, right or wrong are to be avoided during
such times as they are not successful.
130. The question of life and death, profit and loss, victory
and defeat and such subjects must be forgotten during the adverse
flow of Swaras (Sushumna). During such time one must meditate and
remember only the God of Universe.
131. The acts like contemplation, prayer to God, meditation, and
yoga are to be performed at such times. Rest of the activities
(pertaining to profit or loss, and selfishness and self-interest
are to be avoided).
132. If the Sushumna Swaras is intermingled with the flow of
Pingala then both blessing and cursing are ineffective.
133. During the transition of Swaras and tatwas no work, with
the exception of charitable deeds involving possession of merit, is
to be done.
134. During the flow of irregular Swara one must not even
mentally think of doing anything regarding travel. Travel is
perilous and hazardous at such time, and may result even in death,
have no doubts about it.
135. If the breath in lunar Swara flows towards front and
upwards and right then it is must be considered as (Poorna) a
complete Swara. If the Swara breath in Solar Swara is going down,
backward, and right then it is to be considered as Poorna
(complete) Solar Swara. Otherwise the Swaras are said to be empty.
This knowledge of discerning the full (poorna) and empty (rikta)
Swara must be possessed by the wise.
136. If a messenger arrives from left, front, or higher (upper)
sides during the lunar Swara flow and from backwards, right or
sitting downwards then it is auspicious.
137. If one remains without food during the flow of adverse nadi
Sushumna, and if in such a state he acquires complete absorption
with the element that is subtlest and beyond the beyond, then such
merging is known as Sandhya by the wise.
138. As per the Swardodaya Science, the Vedas are not the
celebrated and renowned texts, as we know them. That, which
actively aids the realization of and absorption with supreme soul
Paramatman is the real Veda.
139. Sandhya is just not Sandhi (meeting) of day & night.
When the previously erratic prana starts to flow in Sushumna nadi,
then it is the real Sandhi.
140. O Deva of Devas, Mahadeva! O redeemer of the whole
universe! Do tell me about the secret knowledge that you keep in
your heart.
141. There is no ishtadevata (cherished form of God) except the
Science of Swara. The yogi who is engrossed in the Sadhana of
knowing this science is the supreme yogi.
142. The creation emanates from the five elements and into them
it dissolves. Therefore, the five elements are supreme. God alone
is beyond them.
143. Through perfection in Yoga and from the Siddhies
(supernatural powers) granted there from, the yogis must know and
comprehend the name of these five elements. An expert in Swarodaya
Science can know and differentiate the wicked person from their
signs.
144. The person who has realized and seen this universe to be
constituted by the five elements namely earth, water, fire, air and
other is to be worshipped.
145. The bodies of all the beings in all lokas (planes of
existence) are not made of different elements (but of same five
basic elements). But there is a difference in constitution of
nadis.
146. O Beautiful Godess! The rise of five elements in right and
left Swaras has been described previously. Now listen, as I
describe the eightfold Science of Tatwas (elements).
147. 1stly, the number of elements;2ndly, the sandhis (junction
and conjunction of breaths); 3rdly, the signs of Swaras; and
4thlythe place of Swaras.
148. The 5thpart is colour and form of syllabus, 6this prana,
7threlates to taste, in 8thsection we have the signs and symptoms
of the movement of tattwas.
149. In this way, eight types of prana vayu pervade the
universe. O lotus eyed goddess, nothing is beyond the knowledge of
Swaras.
150. By all means, the Swara must be watched and monitored right
from the start of day. This yoga is deployed by the yogis to escape
the grinds of time.
151. Block the ears with thumbs, close the two nostrils with the
middle fingers, close the mouth with ring and little fingers, and
press the eyes gently with the forefingers/index finger. (Practice
Shanmukhi Mudra)
152. By doing this, the knowledge of all five elements, like
earth etc. comes sequentially by careful observation and awareness.
The earth appears yellow, water white, fire red, air dark black,
and the sky appears multi-hued and strangely coloured.
153. Please breathe while looking at a mirror. The wise can
acquire the knowledge of different tattwas by observing the shape
and pattern formed on the mirror by the water vapours of
breath.
154. If the shape formed on mirror is asquare or quadrangleit
indicates earth element,crescent moonindicates water,
atriangleindicates fire, anda circleindicates air.
155. Earth element flows in the middle of breath, the breath
endowed with water flows downwards, the swara/breath enmeshed with
fire flows upwards and air flows slant, at an angle, the breath
endowed with ether flows in both the Swaras.
156. Earth isyellowcoloured, waterwhitecoloured, firered,
aircloud-blue, ether ismulti-coloured(having all colours).
157. Fire is located in the shoulders, of a human, the air

159. The length of breath while the flow of active air element
is eight fingers(thickness) breath (angula); fire element four
angulas long; the length of breath in earth element is twelve
angulas (finger); and the water element sixteen angulas long.
160. The upward flow of breath while the fire element is active
is deadly; the downward of breath when water is active element
bestows peace; the slant and angular flow of breath during active
air element is good for the rites of black magic (like Uchchatan);
the middle ward flow of breath in earth element is good for
paralyzing enemies and evil forces by black magical rites
(Stambhan); the effect of active ether element is normal.
161. The acts involving steady, permanent, and long-lasting
results get fructified if performed during active earth element;
during the rise of water element moving work is (involving
versatility and granting fleeting results) give success; during the
pre-dominance of fire element harsh, difficult, demanding, and
cruel tasks provide success; during air actions like killing via
black magic (Maran) and making someone emotionally unstable or
nervous (Uchchatan).
162. While the predominance of ether element is there, no work,
except the practice of Yoga Sadhana, is to be done. Otherwise, all
actions are sure to be fruitless and providing null/zero
results.
163. The rise of Earth and water elements, bestows success; fire
gives death; active air elements brings destruction; activeness of
ether results in failure. The knowers of science of tattwas must
know this.
164. When earth element is active the profit gets delayed; when
water is active there is immediate success; loss and destruction
ensue during the flow of air and fire elements, ether causes
fruitless actions.
165. The signs of pre-dominance of earth element in a Swara are
its yellow hue, slow motion, downward motion till the chin, heavy
and deep sound, and warm temperature. It endows success in all

in taste, having an erractic and slant/oblique motion and is eight
angulars long.
174. The ether element is unknowable and inaccessible due to its
omni presence, unconquerable speed, colour, shape, and taste. It
provides salvation (moksha) and renders all other pursuits
fruitless when it flows.
175. Earth and Water are auspicious elements. The Fire element
gives mixed results. Air and Ether can cause loss and deaths to
persons.
176. The domain of Earth element is from East to West ; Fire
resides in the South direction, the abode of Air is in the North ;
the Ether element is situated in the centre of all directions.
177. If the earth or water elements get activated during the
flow of lunar Swara (Ida) then, undoubtedly, there is success in
auspicious arts. If the fire element is active in Solar Swara
(Pingala) then there is assured success in harsh and cruel
activities.
178. The flow of earth element during the day and water element
during the night is beneficial. Death ensues during the rise of
fire element. The flow of Air element results in loss and
destruction. Ether element may cause loss of dwelling place due to
fire.
179. For the questions regarding victory in life, profit,
farming, wealth accumulation, the meaning of mantras, questions
related to war and travel earth element is considered to be
auspicious.

stationary and immobile ; in water element the enemy is coming ;
during air the enemy will go in another direction ; and during fire
the enemy is there to destroy and kill you.
181. If someone questions you during the predominance of earth
then he has somebasic materialistic concernsin mind, if water or
air is predominant then the questioners concern are forfellow human
beings and creatures, if fire is active then he hasconcern with
metals , stones and such articles. If ether is predominant then
themind of the questioner is free of all worries.
182. During the flow of earth the questioner is worried about
the creatures havingmore than two legs. During Water and Air he is
concerned abouthuman beings, during the Fire element he isworried
about his cattle, and during Ether he is worried about organisms
with no feet and legs.
183. In the right Solar Swara Mars, Sun, Saturn and Neptune
(Rahu) reside respectively in Fire, Earth, water and Air
elements.
184. In the lunar swara Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus dwell,
respectively, in water, Earth, Air and Fire elements. The above
mentioned nine planets facilitate in the success of each
endeavour.
185. As per this science, Earth signifies Mercury, Water is
Moon, Fire is Sun and Mars is Saturn and Air is Rahu (Neptune).
186. If a question related to travel is asked and the Rahu
resides in the air element of active Solar Swara then know that the
traveler is commuting from one place to another.
187. If a question regarding the return of a traveler is asked
while water element is active then the traveler is on his way to
return, if Earth element is active then the traveler is at the same
place. During the dominance of Air the traveler is somewhere else (
a place different to the destination). If fire is dominant then
consider him to be dead.
188. During the dominance of Earth element the questioner wants
to enquire about plants, trees. If the water element is dominant
then he wants to enquire about auspicious works. During fire
element the question in mind will be regarding metals and such
substances. During ether he does not want to know about
anything.
189. If during the flow of earth and water elements in body
someone asks about the condition of a person who has migrated to
another place then know it that the migrant is satisfied, well
nourished, having sensual pleasures (like sex and games)
victorious, and happy.
If fire or air is flowing then consider the migrant to be in
lethargy or fever.
190. If the question is asked during the dominance of Ether
element then know that the migrant is dead or nearing end of his
life.
So must the practioners of the art of Tattwa Sadhana know the
answers of the questions asked to them, as per dominance of
elements.
191. In East, West, South and North the Earth , Water, Fire and
air elements are powerful and dominant, respectively.
Origin of the Human Body.
192. O Boon Bestowing Goddess! Know that this body is but a

, nadis and hair of this body. Even the Vedanta substantiates
this.
194. The five attributes of water element ( in human body)
aresemen /ova , blood, marrow, urine, and saliva. The Brahm Gyanis
have said this.

and passionate bonding.
198. In the human body the earth element is 50 Palas (Parts)
water in 40 Palas, Fire 30 Palas, Air 20 Palas, and Ether 10
Palas.(Pal is a unit of time, 150 pal equals to one hour.)
199. If the Earth elements flows in the active Swara then there
is delayed profit. In water element one get instantaneous benefit.
The profit is meager in Air element . In the dominance of fire
element even the accomplished gains will be spoiled.
200. Earth has five attributes, water has four, fire has three,
air has two, and ether one. Everyone must know this proportion of
elements attributes.
201. Various types of Swaras produced during the dominance of
Earth element like producing hissing and sibilant noise, broken
sound, torn sound, and downward sound grant results in all
works.
202. The nakshatras (constellations) of Earth element are
Dhanishtha (Delphini), Rohini (Aldebaran), Jyestha (Antares),

206. If a messenger sits towards the side of active Swara while
asking about auspicious or inauspicious affairs then all such
affairs will be successful and will have a positive bearing. If he
sits towards the side of non-active swara then all the actions will
be rendered fruitless.
207. The answers to questions asked by someone regarding the
success of any venture will be in negative during the flow of solar
Swara even if it is flowing in its full strength along with the
dominance of auspicious and beneficial elements in it.
Conversely, the answers to question asked regarding the success
of any venture will be in affirmative during the flow of the lunar
Swara.
208. Lord Shri Rama achieved victory during the flow of
auspicious elements only. Similarly, Arjuna was also victorious due
to the dominance of favourable elements. All the Kauravaas were
killed due to the dominance of unfavorable elements.
209. Only by the grace of Guru, or due to the Sanskaaras
(inherent tendencies) from previous lives does the desire and
capacity to know the science of Tattwas arise in the hearts of a
selected few possessing good souls.
210. Lam is the beeja mantra (seed sound) of the earth element.
The form for concentration / mediation on earth element is golden
yellow in colour, square in shape, and having a pleasant smell. By
meditating in this way on earth element and, simultaneously,
chanting the Lam bija mantra one gets lightness of body.
211. The bija of Moon element is Vam. If, while chanting Vam
bija one concentrates on the form of shining crescent moon the
ability to bear and overcome hunger and thirst is achieved. Also,
one can live in water for a long time without drowning.
212. By concentrating on fire element in the form of shimmering
, shining , radiating red triangle and chanting the beeja Ram one
gets the ability to consume and digest huge quantities of food and
fluids. One also achieves the ability to bear excessive
temperatures.
213. By mediating on Air element having a dark circular form,
alongwith the chant of Yam bija one gets the ability to fly in the
sky like birds.
214. Ham bija is employed to mediate on formless, multi-hued
ether element. By meditating on it one becomes omniscient and
attains the eight supernatural powers like Anima etc.
215. There is no greater wealth than the presence of an expert
practitioner of Swara Yoga because, with the knowledge of Swaras
all actions bear fruit without any effort.
The Devi Said
216. O God of all Gods, Mahadeva ! Please explain to me how does
one acquire the knowledge of past, present and future through the
knowledge of Swaras.
Lord Shiva Spoke :
217. O Beauty ! Without the knowledge of the science of Swaras
the knowledge about auspicious/inauspicious acts like accumulation
of wealth , victory, time , death etc. (and of the questions
pertaining to them) cannot be had.
218. In the tattwas ( and their flow) do reside auspicious /
inauspicious deeds, victory and defeat, abundance and famine /
want. Hence, the tattwas (elements) are stated to be the cause of
past, present and future.
Devi Spoke
219. O Deva of Devas, Mahadeva ! What is the essence of this
ocean of existence (world)? Who is the best friend and accomplice
of humans in this world? Through what can all desires be fulfilled
and all acts accomplished?
Lord Shiva Spoke
220. O fair faced Goddess! Prana is the ultimate friend. There
is no friend or companion in the universe better than prana.
Devi Spoke
221. How does the air element dwell in Prana ? How do the yogis
discern the prana flowing in the tattwas (elements)
Lord Shiva Spoke
222. In the metaphorical city of body, air is the security
guard. Its length is ten angulas while inhalation and twelve
angular during exhalation.
223. While walking its length is twenty four angular, while
running forty-two, during sexual inter course its length is sixty
five angulas, and hundred during deep sleep.
224. O Devi ! The length of prana is normally twelve angulas
(fingers). While eating or vomiting it becomes eighteen.
225. If, through the practice of yoga, a yogi is able to
decrease the length of his breath (Prana) by one angula he achieves
desire lessness, the reduction of breath (prana) by two fingers
grants bliss, by reduction of three angulas he get sexual
power.
226. Reduction by four angulas gives the power that ones words
materialize, reduction of breath by five angulas grants the
supernatural power to see all the objects anywhere in the universe
; reduction by six fingers grants the power of levitation ;
reduction by seven grants enormous speed.
227. Reduction of prana by eight angulas grants eight siddhis
(supernatural powers), reduction by nine grants nine kinds of
wealth (nidhis); ten provides ten different forms to the practioner
; reduction by eleven fingers grants shadowlessness.
228. If the yogi is able to reduce the length of the prana by
twelve angulas he attains the state of a Hansa and starts enjoying
the bliss of drinking the nectar of Ganga.
The yogi who can fill his whole body with Prana from toes to
head to fingernailsdoes not require food and drink for
survival.
229. Thus, the detailed technique of application of the science
of prana has been mentioned. It grants success everywhere and
always. It can be known through Gurus instructions only. No
knowledge of scriptures is required (as they wont suffice).
230. If, by chance, the lunar swara is not flowing in the dawn
time and Solar Swara is not flowing at the time of dusk. Then they
will definitely flow at 12 noon and midnight, respectively.
231. Lunar Swara grants victory in battles in / with far off
countries. Solar Swara in nearby lands. To ensure success, one must
start or move out of house by putting forward the same foot which
corresponds to that side of active Swara.
232. Lunar Swara grants success and happiness in auspicious
activities like starting a journey, marriage, or entering a city
(such acts must be performed during the flow of Lunar Swara
Ida).
233. If by ones good fortune one is blessed with the flow and
activation of the presiding deities of a direction along with the
swara that corresponds to those elements in their attributes , then
he can even paralyze the whole army of enemies by a mere hissing of
his / her breath. He / she wont get trouble and tribulations even
in Baikuntha, the abode of Lord Vishnu.
234. One who continuously recites the mantra Jivam Raksha and
makes the vibrations caused by this Mantra cloth his whole body
during a war survives the war victoriously. He even conquers the
whole earth.
235. One must undertake and perform journey for auspicious and
peaceful activities during the flow of earth and water elements.
For dynamic, difficult and cruel actions, undertake journey during
the flow of Air and fire elements. Journeying for any kind of
activity is to be avoided during the flow of Ether element.
236. During a battle or war one must hold the weapon on the same
side & with the same hand that corresponds to the active Swara.
This bestows victory.
237. By drawing in and holding Prana inside while mounting any
vehicle one accomplishes all deeds.
238. If the opponents army is standing towards the side of
Shoonya Swara (empty Swara) and ones own army is towards poorna
Swara, then victory in war is assured.
239. If one starts ones journey by putting forward the foot that
corresponds to active Swara in the direction of its presiding
deity, one gets success.
240. One must start the battle after performing the mudras
(kata) only. By doingSarpa Mudra, one gets success in all
activities.
241. When accomplished warriors go to battle during either lunar
or solar Swaras flow, they get victorious if the Air element is
flowing fully in those Swaras. If the Ether element is active then
they taste defeat.
242. The one who fights a battle by drawing his prana till ear
on the same side on which the active swara is flowing along with
the air element cannot be defeated even by Lord Indra.
243. One, who draws in the prana till the ear towards the same
side which corresponds to the active swara while that Swaras air
element is active and flowing, conquers even lord Indra King of all
Devas.
244. By safeguarding ones body from the attacks and blows of the
enemies in this manner one cannot be defeated by powerful
enemies.
245. One who produces sound from his / her thumb, tip of index
finger, and the big toe during the battle that brave warrior
defeats lakhs of enemies.
246. The warrior who leaves for battle during the predominance
of air element in either Ida or Pingala, safeguards (his territory
from) all the four directions.
247. If a messenger speaks his desired thought at the time of
inhalation then his words will be fulfilled. If he speaks during
exhalation the results are contrary.
248. All the actions / deeds pertaining to profit, gain etc.
questioned or answered at the time of inhalation get accomplished.
The results are negative if the same is asked / answered during
exhalation.
249. A mans right Swara, and a womans left Swara are auspicious.
During battle, kumbhaka (breath retention) is good. Thus, the three
nadis have three different movements and results.
250. How can there be the knowledge of the science of Swaras
without the knowledge and differentiation of the syllables ha and
sa ? The living beings get victorious with the knowledge (through
repetition ) of the mantras Soham and Ham-Sa.
251. By inhaling through the closed Swara (and retaining the
breath inside), one must protect the active swara (which will grant
victory-if it is guarded). Without this trick if one fights a
battle with a closed Swara, one might lose one of the body-organs
in the battle.
252. If a question is asked by someone during the flow of solar
and lunar swara and the questioner is on the same side which
corresponds to the active Swara then there is no affliction/injury
to the body. If the question is asked during the flow of Sushumna
under the same circumstances then there is injury.
253. During such questionif earth element is active then one
gets injured in stomach area, if water is active then in the foot
area, in case of fire the thighs are injured, if air is active then
the hands get the injury.
254.If ether element is active then there is head injury. Thus,
these five kinds of injuries during battle are described in the
Swara shastra.
255. In lunar Swara the king defeats the enemy and his invading
armies while being in his own country. During solar swaras flow he
defeats the enemy in the battlefield (or in enemys country).
256. If there is any doubt regarding victory then check the flow
of nadis. If Sushumna flows during the battle then there is a grave
danger from the enemy.
257. By facing the same direction and fighting in the same
direction that corresponds to the active Swara ones victory is
assured. There is no need to think otherwise.
258. The invading armies of enemies is defeated and conquered if
the lunar Swara of the general / King of invaded country is
flowing.
259. The king of invading army conquers the Gods, demons, and
human if he battles during the flow of solar Swara.
260. The invader is defeated during the flow or Lunar Swara. He
acquires territory during Sushumnas flow and is victorious during
the flow of Pingala.
261. During the flow of Poorna Swara if question regarding
battle is asked by two persons then the first to ask question is
victorious while the second is conquered by his enemy. Whereas,
during the flow of Shoonya Swara if question/s regarding battle is
asked by two persons, the first to ask is conquered and captured,
and the second to ask the question is victorious.
262. If one goes to the battle field during the flow of Poorna
(fully active) Swara then his /her enemy escapes from the
battlefield during Shoonya (closed) Swara he battles. If the enemy
is kept by him towards the side of shoonya (closed) Swara then the
enemy definitely is killed.
263. If a questioner comes from the left side during the flow of
Ida (lunar) nadi and asks question regarding victory etc. then if
the total sum of all the letters of that question in even (like
2,4,6 etc.) then success is there. If the sum total of all the
alphabets/letters is odd (1,3,5) then loss and defeat occur.
264. If a question regarding battle/war is asked during the flow
of Ida then there must be a compromise. If the question is asked
during Pingalas flow then battle must happen.
265. If a battle is started during the flow of earth element
then the result of battle (loss, defeat, victory gains) will more
or less be equal for both the sides. Victory is assured during the
flow of water element, during the dominance of fire there is a loss
of bodys organ, and during the dominance of air or ether death
ensues.
266. If, due to mental disturbance/incapacity or, for any other
reason, one does not know about the flow of his Swara, he must act
in the following manner.
267. With single-minded concentration one must drop a flower
from his hand. That side of the body where the flower lands is the
side of Poorna (fully active) Swara. The other side is the side of
Shoonya Swara.
268. If, while standing or sitting, one draws in his Prana with
complete concentration and steadiness of mind he is successful
everywhere in all the activities.
269. If one is stable, established, and firm (i.e. meditating
intensely) during the flow of Sushumna then death, time, various
dangerous and horrible weapons, snakes, enemies, thieves, and any
troubles and tribulations are unable to cause any trouble to
him.
270. One must mediate upon the Jiva (his own self or atman) .
Upon its creation right from the beginning, to its establishment in
the human body via the support and movement of Vayu the air
element. One must be immersed in this play throughout, thoroughly
and forever. By dong this, one is victorious in game of life (i.e.
attains liberation). This game is as dicey as gambling.
271. All other kinds of power (even if multiplied trillion fold)
are useless against the power of Swara. The knower of the science
of Swara is always more powerful in this world as well as in the
next.
272. The power acquired via the knowledge of Swaras for kings is
equal to thousand, ten thousand, and even lakhs of other brave
warriors. Whereas, the power acquired by Lord Indra and other gods
through the knowledge of Swara Science is millions of times
more.
273. Devi said: O Shiv Ji! you have described and explained the
ways to achieve victory in wars between the humans only. But, what
about the war with Yama the God of Death? How can one secure
victory in a battle with him (How can one become immortal)?
274. Lord Shiva Said: By mediating upon God with one-pointed
mind while, simultaneously, perform kumbhaka (breath retention)
during the flow of Sushumna This kind of homa (Sacred offering)
bestows the fulfillment of all desires, victory, and other immense
gains.
275. From the infinite formless God has this world of forms
originated. By the realization of God (through the method just
mentioned) one perceives this world of forms and shapes as
formless, instantaneously.
276. Devi said : You have just mentioned the techniques for
securing victory with men and yama (Death , or god of death). Now,
O God of all Gods and Goddesses please describe the science and art
of enchanting and bewitchment.
277. Lord Shiva replied : The Rishis have said that if a womans
lunar Swara is inhaled and pulled by a man through his solar Swara
and retained in his anahata Chakra hearts space then that woman
remains under the spell of that man through out her life.
278. Whosoever puts his active Swara in the active Swara of a
woman and then inhales her active Swara with his active Swara and
thereby puts it into his anahata Chakra controls the soul of that
woman.
279. A man who drinks the Sushumna Swara of a lady while she is
asleep during the last three hours of night, captivates her.
280. If a man gives his lunar Swara to a woman after her
Sushumna Swara has ended while, simultaneously, chanting, the eight
syllable mantra(Om Namo Narayana)---enchants that woman.
281. If a man drinks the lunar Swara of a lady with his solar
Swara while she is asleep or while having, intercourse, or making
love he becomes as attractive as cupid.
282. During sexual intercourse if a mans solar swara and a
womans lunar swara are united, or if he unites his lunar swara with
a womans solar swara, then he can enchant even a hundred women.
283. If the relation occurs between a man and woman at odd no.
of times (3,7,9) while a womans lunar swara and mans solar swara
are flowing and united then the woman becomes under control. Also,
if the act is done at even no. of (2,4,6)times when a womans solar
Swara and a mans lunar Swara are flowing and are united the woman
is under complete control.
284. While sucking in her lunar or solar Swara like a snake if a
man simultaneously kisses her half open lotus like lips repeatedly
then she is captivated.
285. The man must keep on kissing the woman on her lotus lips
till she falls asleep. Later, when she just gets up, he must kiss
her throat and eyes.
286. O Supreme Goddess! By following these techniques the
lustful man can captivate and bewitch all women. This method of
enchantment and captivation of women must not be disclosed to
anyone. This is my command.
287. If the sexual intercourse is performed on the fifth day
after the menstrual cycle, while a womans lunar Swara and mans
solar Swara is flowing, then a son can be conceived.
288. After the menstrual cycle, if during the flow of water or
earth elements the herb Shankhballi mixed in cows milk is taken by
a woman then she must pray three times to her husband for granting
her pregnancy.
289. If, after the menstrual cycle is over, the woman takes the
Shankhballi drink after bathing, she gives birth to a son who is
very handsome, good looking , and brave as a lion.
290. If the solar Swara flows after Sushumna and the sexual
intercourse is performed then a crippled and ugly son is
conceived.
291. After the menstrual cycle is over, if sexual intercourse is
performed during day or night on odd numbered days (1,3,5,7 etc.)
while the males solar Swara and females lunar swara alongwith fire
element is active, then even a barren woman will get a child.
292. If the act is performed at the beginning of fertile period
while the solar swara of husband and the lunar swara of wife is
flowing then even an infertile wife is also blessed with a son.
293. If the husband solar swara is flowing at the beginning of
the intercourse and the act ends with the flow of lunar swara in
the husband then all except the luckless ones are blessed with a
son.
294. if a question is asked regarding child birth during the
flow of lunar nadi Ida then one gets a daughter; if the question is
asked during the flow of Pingala then a son is born. If the
Sushumna is flowing then there is miscarriage.
295. If the earth element is pre-dominant during the time of
question then a daughter is born, if water element is dominant then
a son is born, if air dominates then a girl-child, if fire then
there is abortion or miscarriage, if ether an impotent or eunuch is
born.
296. While questioning about child birth if the lunar swara is
flowing then a girl child is born, if solar swara flows a son is
born, in Sushumna, an eunuch is born. If the messenger/questioner
is towards the side of Poorna Swara, then a son will be born.
297. O Beauty! if the question is asked during Shoonya (Void)
Swara then there is no child, during the flow of both swaras twins
are born, during mixed and alternating swaras there is miscarriage.
Such is mentioned by the knowers of this science.
298. If the child is conceivedduring the dominance of air
element, the child will be of melancholy disposition; if he is
conceivedduring the dominance of water element then he becomes
famous and prosperous;during fire either abortion will take or the
child will be short-lived.If earth is pre-dominant then a
prosperous, brave and hedonistic child is born.
299. If a childs conception takes placeduring the dominance of
water then the child born will be wealthy, happy, hedonistic, and
fortunate. During ether, there is a miscarriage.
300.During the pre-dominance of earth element, a virtuous and
good child will be born. If water is dominant then a girl child is
born. During the dominance of other elements there is either
miscarriage or abortion or else the child dies soon after
birth.
301 If, suddenly, the lunar swara flows during the flow of solar
swara or vice-versa then one must ask about the consequence from
the Guru only. The Vedas and crores of other Shastra are of no
avail in this regard.
302. The wise yogi must reflect about the elements during the
first day of the brighter fortnight Chaitra (March & April)
month at the morning time before dawn, when the sun moves towards
north.
303. If at such time the earth, water, or air element is
dominant alongwith the flow of lunar Swara then there will be an
abundance of wheat and good grains during that year.
304. If fire or ether element is active at that time then there
in a fear of great suffering due to famine and food shortage. Thus,
one must calculate the results of the forthcoming days, months and
years in advance through the tatwas.
305 The Sushumna nadi is cruel and adverse for all activities.
If one performs any kind of activity during its flow (except yoga
Sadhna), he inevitably suffers affiliations like destruction of
country, epidemics, sorrows, sufferings, etc.
306. The knowers of tatwa must examine the swaras during suns
transition into the constellation of Aries. And they must predict
the years forthcoming events accordingly.
307. If the earth or water element is pre-dominant during this
time then the results are auspicious. If fire, air, or ether
element is dominant then the results are inauspicious. Thus, one
must calculate the proceedings of days, months, and year to
come.
308. If the earth element is active and dominant during this
time then there will be an abundance of food, superior farming,
greater yield, prosperity, and overall development of the
country.
309 If on this day the water element is active then there are
excellent rains, abundant food, freedom from disease, happiness,
prosperity and abundance of food grains.
310 The dominance of fire elements foretells famine, destruction
of ones nation, destruction of food-grains, and scanty
rainfall.
311 If during suns transition into Aries the air elements is
active then it foretells trouble, calamity, destruction by both
natural and man-made disasters, fear, and scanty rainfall.
312 If the ether element dominates at that time then there is a
want of happiness, food-grains etc.
313 If one inhales the Poorna Swara at that time then there is a
production of food-grains. If the solar or lunar swara is flowing
erratically or irregularly then the storing of food-grains is
beneficial because there will be an acute shortage of
food-grains.
314 If the fire element is active along with the flow of solar
swara and also the ether element seems to be getting activated
during the suns transition into Aries, then one must start storing
food-grains because there will be steep inflation in price within
two months.
315 If, during this time, the solar Swara flows at night and the
lunar Swara in the morning alongwith the dominance of either air,
fire, or ether elements, then hell like conditions prevail on earth
itself.
Question regarding Disease
316 If a question is asked regarding disease and during
questioning the earth element is active then the disease is caused
by the bad karmas in the previous birth. If water is active then
the disease is caused by the imbalance of Kapha dosha (cough
humour) in the body. If fire is dominant then the disease is caused
by the Goddess Shakini residing in /nearby patients village or
hills surrounding it, or it is caused due to the unhappy deceased
ancestors.
317 If the questioner initially sits on the side of the
Shoonya(closed) Swara and then shifts towards the poorna (active)
Swara then even a person in deep coma will survive.
318 If somebody questions regarding the disease while sitting
towards the Poorna Swara then the patient though afflicted by many
diseases will survive.
319 If a questioner comes during Solar Swara and says a terrible
thing (regarding patients disease) then also he will survive. Such
is the result while the lunar swara is flowing.
320 If the image of the patient is accurately visualized by
answerer (as per the description of questioner) and if gets
stabilized in his mind then the patient survives.
321 If the questioner asks about the well being of a patient
while the solar or lunar Swara of the answerer is just entering his
body and if the questioner is facing the people sitting there then
the patient gets well.
322 If the questioners standing level is below the level of
Jivanga of the answerer then the patient survives. Otherwise
consider him dead.
323 If the questioner sits towards the shoonya nadi (closed
swara) and utters confusing words, and appears in a confused state,
and the swara is flowing erratically then adverse results are to be
expected.
324 If the prana of the answerer is flowing in the lunar swara
and the questioner is sitting towards the solar swara then inspite
of being surrounded by hundreds of doctors the patient will
die.
325 If the questioner is sitting towards left and the answerers
solar swara is flowing then the patient (about whom the question is
asked) dies even if Lord Shiva himself comes and tries to save
him.
326 If one element flows erratically then disease comes. If two
elements flow erratically then one has to face separation from
friends, brothers, and relatives.
If the Swaras flow irregularly for a month then death
ensues.
Kalaprakarnam
327. The wise scholars must examine the possibility of death by
checking the flow of air in the swaras at the beginning of a month,
fortnight , and year, respectively.
328. The lamp of human body which is made of five elements, is
nourished by the oil of breath (Lord Shiva) and the Prana (life
force) is guarded by Sun (Swaras) via air.
329. A person who guards his solar breath through Prananayama
(breath control) throughout the day and releases it after the
sunset lives for quite a long duration.
330. Person who does this yoga Sadhana is blessed with nectar
flowing from the bindu charka - and he becomes immortal.
331. A person who prevents the solar and lunar swaras from
flowing during the day and night, respectively, inevitably becomes
a perfected yogi.
332. If the same swara flows throughout the day and night then
such person dies within three years.
333. If the Solar Swara of a person flows for two consecutive
days and nights incessantly then he dies within two years. Such has
been said by knowers of tattwas (prophets).
334. These prophets say that if the same swara flows for three
consecutive days and nights then such person dies within an
year.
335. If the solar swara of a person flows during the day and his
lunar swara flows at the night, continuously then know that he will
be dead in six months time.
Signs of impending Death
336. One must observe the reflection of sun in a bronze pot
filled with water. If the reflection of sun is seen cut, missing or
fading towards the south then death comes in six months ( for the
observer), if seen cut, fading , or missing towards western
direction then death comes in three months ; if in east death comes
within one month ; if the suns reflection seems to have a hole in
its centre then the observer will die within ten days ; if sun
appears to be covered with smoke then the observer dies on the same
day. The omniscient sages have said this.
Symptoms of the messenger
337. If the messenger who has come to ask about the well being
of a patient is wearing a red, saffron or black coloured clothes,
and he has an oily shaven head, broken teeth , along with a rope,
giving complete answers to questions , his body smeared with ash
and embers having a noose, skull , or pestle in hand, or if he
comes during the sunset and he sits towards the side of Shoonya
Swara then believe that the patient is surrounded with death.
338. If a person, who is sad, suddenly becomes alright and
starts getting excited then know that he is showing signs of
delirium.
339. Now I will describe in detail the symptoms along with their
effects in a person whose body is getting cold and his temperament
getting erratic.
340. A person to whose ears wicked words appear pleasant and
pleasant words wicked repents later on and dies.
341. If someones forceful exhalation through the nose is cold
and his forceful exhalation through mouth is hot as fire he will
surely die even if the foremost doctor of medicine is trying to
save him.
342. A person to whose eyes even one of these is invisible his
own tongue, sky, pole star, the milky way galaxy, the star
Arundhati, Moon,Venus, Agatsya, route of gods then known he is
definitely going to die.
Signs of Death
343. One who cannot see the halo of the rising sun, halo of
moon, and sees fire sans radiance dies within eleven months.
344. One who while sleeping or awake sees human excreta , gold
or silver in a pond will live for ten months.
345. A person who sees gold and glowing lamps as black coloured,
and to whose eyes all the beings appear disfigured dies in nine
months.
346. If a fat person suddenly becomes thin and vice-versa, if a
dark complexioned man suddenly becomes glittering like gold , if
brave becomes timid, pious becomes impious, mentally calm man
becomes fickle-minded then he dies in eight months.
347. If someone feels pain in the palm of the hand , at the root
of the tongue, if his blood becomes balckish in colour, or if he
feels too much of pain while being pricked by sharp object then
such person dies within seven months.
348. If the three middle fingers of hand do not bend, if the
throat gets dry without sickness, and he asks stupid questions then
his age is six months more.
349. A person who cannot remember the acts done by him in past
dies in the fifth months.
350. One whose eyes are devoid of light and whose both eyes feel
pain dies after four months.
351. If someone does not feel any pain on the pressing of his
teeth, gums and testicles he has an age of three months more.
352. Now I will describe in brief the ways to calculate the
proximity or distance of death as per Shivagam (Shivas
Scripture)
353 After going alone to a lonely jungle and keeping sun behind
ones backside one must single-mindedly concentrate on the throat
area of his shadow.
354. Then one must look towards the sky and chant the mantra
Hrim Parabrahmane Namah one hundred and eight times. Doing, thus
one sees the form of Lord Shiva.
355. The form of Lord Shiva, thus seen, is pure white like
crystal. Lord Shiva appears to the practitioner in myriad other
forms. If such practitioner continues this practice for six months
becomes the master of living beings. If he continues till two years
then he himself might become lord Shiva the lord of creation,
preservation, and destruction.
356. With regular practice he becomes the knower of past,
present and future and he experiences Paramananda (Supreme
ecstasy). Nothing in this universe remains impossible for him.
357. If someone sees the form of lord Shiva as dark in colour,
in a clear sky, has an age of mere six months . There is no doubt
in that.
358. If the form of Lord Shiva ( in sky) is seen as yellow
coloured then diseases come , if red then he will have fear , if
blue then he will undergo loss. If lord Shivas form appears as
multi-hued then the practitioner gets perfection (siddhi)
359. If, during observing his shadow in the lonely jungle, the
practitioner sees his feet, ankles or belly missing then know that
his life span has ended.
360. If the practitioner sees his left arms shadow missing then
his spouse will die. If the right arm is missing then the brother
or kinsmen will die and he himself will also expire.
361. If the shadow of head is not visible then the practitioner
dies in a month. If the thighs or shoulders are missing then he
will die in eight days. If there is no shadow visible then the
practitioner is already dead.
362. If, while observing ones shadow in the morning while
standing with the sun behind, ones lips or fingers shadow is
missing then the death comes in a second ; if the shadow of ears,
shoulders, hands, face, backside, and chest is not seen then he
dies in half-a-second, if his heads shadow is missing and if he is
spooky then he dies in six months.
363. If a persons Solar Swara flows continuously for sixteen
days he faces death within the remaining days of the month.
364. If the Solar Swara of a person remains active without break
then he dies within a fortnight. This has been said by the knowers
of time.
365. If a persons urine, excreta , and wind are expelled
simultaneously know that his prana (vital power / life force) is
weak, he dies in ten days.
366. The omniscient sages have said that if a persons lunar
swara is always active he dies within a month.
367. If a person is unable to see the pole star, Arundhati Star
& sky and Maatrikamandal then such persons lifespan has
ended.
368. In the above couplet (Shloka) Arundhati, Pole star, sky,
and Maatrikamandal are the symbolical representations of tongue,
the tip of the nose, eyebrows, and the seven divine mothers.
369. If one is unable to see the shadow of his eyebrows, he dies
in nine days, if he does not hear any sound after closing his ears
he dies in seven days, if the stars are invisible to him he dies in
five days , If his nose is invisible then he dies in three days and
if his tongue is invisible he dies in a day.
370. If one does not see the shining stars in the corners of
ones eyes after pressing them with the tips of fingers then such a
person dies within ten days
371. One escapes death by holy pilgrimages ,charity ,penance ,
reciting mantras, mediation , yoga sadhana, and virtuous acts.
372. Bad and immoral conduct, fault in bowel movements and
sperms non-preservation destroy the body. Balanced prana (and its
sub types) increase ones strength, vitality and vigour.
373. Since this body is a means of dharma (righteous conduct)
artha (accumulation of wealth), Kama (enjoyment of the pleasures of
the senses) and moksha (liberation, freedom from the cycle of
birth, death and rebirth) therefore it must be preserved. By
practice of yoga one must remove all the physical faults and
ailments. Otherwise, these ailments take the form of incurable
disease and kill the patient (since they cannot be treated by any
means)
374. A person in whose heart originates and flows the eternal,
unparalled and moon like illuminating knowledge of Swara yoga, does
not have the fear of death even in his dream.
Section on Samadhi
375. The Lunar Swara Ida is symbolized by the river Ganga,
Yamuna symbolizes the solar nadi Pingala, Saraswati is Sushumna.
The knowledge of merging these three nadis must be known as prayaga
( the place of confluence of these three rivers).
376. Initially, the means of instant result achievement was
described. Now the yogi must in Padmasana (the lotus posture) and
practice Uddiyana Bandha - retaining the apana air at the
navel.
377. To purify their bodies the yogis must know and practice
puraka (inhalation) kumbhaka (retention) and rechaka
(exhalation).
378. The Pooraka pranayama maintains the equanimity of the
essential minerals & ingredients of the body. It can bestow
life enhancing nectar in the body by specific pranayams & yogic
practices . Kumbhaka maintains the body in its present condition
and safeguards the body.
379. The Rechaka pranayama destroys all the evil karmas. Thus,
by doing all these three pranayams one becomes a yogi. After these
three pranayams the mind gets steady therefore one must start
practicing Sadhana to conquer death methodically.
380. The wise person must inhale through his solar Swara and
then perform Kumbhaka (breath retention) and then exhale through
his lunar swara.
381. One who incessantly drinks his lunar swara wit his solar
swara and his solar swara with his lunar swara, without the
consideration of time of their flow, lives till the life of moon
and stars.
382. One who restrains the active nadi as well as his mouth from
breathing, simultaneously, achieves youthfulness even if he is
quite old.
383. O Beloved ! The process of closing the mouth , nostrils ,
ears and eyes is known as Shanmukhi Mudra . This bestows knowledge
of tattwas.
384. The form, colour, motion, taste, region and other
attributes of five elements can be known by the practice of
Shanmukhi Mudra and the Swara science.
385. A yogi who is free from desires, sins, and expectation who
does not think about the objects of senses, obtains victory over
death like a childs play.
386. A yogi whose minds get steady and thoughtless even for one
Yama (three hours) acquires the power of seeing, knowing, and
experiencing the entire universe through his eyes.
387. The age of such a person increases at the rate of three
ghatikas per day. Lord Shiva has himself mentioned this in a tantra
describing the qualities of Siddhas.
388. They are blessed , who sitting in Padmasana (lotus posture)
stop their apana vayu and take it upwards and combine it with their
prana vayu and take these combined vayus to the Sahasrara Chakra
via the Sushumna Randhra via Sushumna nadi and then release the
combined prana in the sky.
389. Such devotees of Lord Shiva go to the abode of Lord Shiva
via sky after their death.
390. The Sadhaka (practitioner) who reads and practices this
text daily gets perfected in this science.
391. The master practitioner of swara science has Lakshmi
(prosperity, fortune) as her slave. He always enjoys physical
pleasures.
392. Just like Omkara is eulogized by all Vedas, and Lord Sun by
all Brahmanas, Similarly, the master practitioner of Swara Science
is the best and worshipped in this ephemeral world.
393. Even the trillion-fold knowledge and possession of material
wealth, herbs and other chemicals is nothing as compared to the
knowledge of the three nadis and tattwas.
394. There is nothing on earth to repay the debt of that Guru
who has imparted the knowledge of even a single syllable of the
Swara Science.
395. In this Swara Shastra the details regarding the flow of
Swaras along with their results, the knowledge of tattwas (and how
to employ them for ones well being), war (method of winning), the
captivation and enchantment of women , details regarding,
child-conception , and disease, etc. have been described in
halfa-measure only.
396. As per the yogis and siddhas the recitation of this text
during the solar and lunar eclipses bestows siddhi (perfection).
The yogi must practice moderation in food and sleep, and
concentrate on Paramatma (the supreme soul) steadily and realize
him.
Thus, ends the Swarodaya Shastra. The scripture which is in the
form of a dialogue between Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
