The Ten Gates

 

 

These ten are related to what are called in Tantra the ten gates, and at death,one's
vital force exits from one of the ten. These ten gates are manovahi nadis, or yoga nadis.
Their correspondence with the sympathetic nervous system can be expressed
because both of these systems operate with the help of Pranic currents. It is Prana
that makes the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems work.

When Kundalini Energy rises, all the manovahi nadis become active. And when the
combustion of Prana and Apana takes place, Kundalini Shakti is withdrawn with great
force through Brahma Nadi and, piercing all the chakras, reaches her abode in Soma
Chakra for final union. The shastras describe Kundalini Shakti at that time as moving in
different styles, depending upon the dominance of the elements in the person:


Gandhari.Nadi stretches from below the corner
of the left eye to the big toe of the left foot.


Hastajihva stretches from below the corner of the right eye to the big toe of the left foot.

Yashasvini stretches from the right big toe to the left ear.

Pusha stretches from the left big toe to the right ear.

Alambusha begins at the anus and terminates in the mouth.

Kuhu begins in the throat and terminates in the genitals.

Shankhini originates in the throat terminating in the anus.

Sarasvati Nadi is seated on the tongue.

Payasvini Nadi flows between Pusha(left Big Toe to right ear)
and Sarasvati (tounge) nadis.


Varuni Nadi is situated between Yashasvini ( from the right big toe to the left ear.)
and Kuhu nadis.( begins in the throat and terminates in the genitals)
Varuni Nadi terminates at the anus.


Vishvodara flows between Kuhu( begins in the throat and terminates in the genitals)
and Hastajihva nadis (below the corner of the right eye to the big toe of the left foot)
and resides in the area of the navel.
