Shiv Swarodaya - Complete Text

Shiv Swarodaya is the basic scripture on the science of breath. Here, we have tr
ied to reproduce it in English translation sloka by sloka for the benefit of tho
se who find it difficult to understand for various reasons. This work was carrie
d out by another sadhak and is being shared here.
1.
I bow to lord Shiva, Goddess Parvatiji, and Lord Ganesha, and to Guru an
d 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
ddhis (accomplishments and fortunes) .

si

3.
O God of all Gods, how did this universe originate? Why does it change ? A
nd how does it merge into its source ? How does it get destroyed ? Please explai
n 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 elem
ents) and in the tattwas occur its alteration, preservation, and destruction. Ac
cordingly, 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 w
orld. 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
iginate the sky; and from sky originated the Air.

paramatma

(supreme self) or

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 el
ements only is this world preserved. And finally, this world dissolves into thos
e very five elements only.
9.
O Beauty ! This body (Shiva s human ?) is created from the above mentioned
five-tattwas. They subtly emanate in this body. Only the omniscient yogis compre
hend those subtle tattwas (in the body).
10. Now I / we mention all the main sounds established in human body, those sou
nd which are the cause for all sounds like a By mediating on the Sah sound while inh
alation and on aham sound while exhalation (thereby forming the mantra so-ham ) one b
ecomes 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 discip
le who is of peaceful disposition, pure of thoughts and conduct, disciplined, ha
ving boundless devotion to the guru, possessing the firm determination and grate
fulness towards benefactors.
14. It should not be given to anyone who is wicked, lacking virility, short tem
pered, vicious, atheist, lacking character, and the one who commits adultery wit
h his Guru s 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 beco
mes omniscient.
16. Within the swaras is the complete knowledge of the Vedas & all other script
ures. 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 h
ouse 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 betw
een pingala, Ida, Sushumna, and other nadis, attains liberation.
19. O beauty! Some people consider it auspicious to attain the knowledge of swa
ras through the strength of auspicious vayu.
20. The whole universe, its macro and microcosm, have been created by Swara. Sw
ara 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 mor
e 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 ple
asures 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, urinat
e, and excrete only after keeping in mind the positive or negative flow of breat
h or aspects of Swaras.
25. O lady with pleasant visage! all the scriptures, philosophies, eighteen
pur
anas, smritis (revealed knowledge epiphanies) and Vedas are but a branch of the kn
owledge of Swaras. Nothing in universe is better than the Swaras.
26. Until they don t 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 whic
h enlightens the human spirit.
28. This knowledge must not be given simply to answer to anyone s queries. It mus
t be kept safe in one s mind / psyche, voice and intellect to use it for the evolu

tion 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. Ne
ither in the past nor in the future will there be any inauspicious time to effec
t the favourable results bestowed by the swaras.
31. O Goddess! All the auspicious results can be had if one has the power of po
sitive 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 th
em for the true understanding of their body.
33. There are seventy two thousand nadis which extend throughout the navel to t
he 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 o
blique / slanting direction) out of them ten are specially important as they con
tain the flow of ten vayus.
36. From the nadis mentioned earlier ten are primary and out of them Ida, Pinga
la, and Sushumana are the foremost.
37. The remaining seven primary nadis include Gandhari, Hastijivha, Poosha, Yas
hashwini, 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 ( pran
a ).
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, Yashashw
ini in the left ear, and Alambusha resides in the mouth.
41.
Kuhu is in the linga (reproductive organs) Shankhini is in the anus ar
ea / part. Thus, the ten foremost nadis of the body reside in ten openings of th
e body.
42.
The Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna are located in the pranic passage of th
e body. The above mentioned ten nadis reside in the subtle human body (and not i
n 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 Vyan
a. 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 promi
nent.
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 fa
cilitates sneezing ; Naga vayu is for belching ( & vomiting), Devdatta is for ya
wning.
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 thro
ugh all the nadis of a living being.
49.
The wise must know the movement of
of Ida, Pingala, and Sushumana.

Prana

vayu in human body via the help

50.
Ida is known to be situated in the left side of spinal cord, Pingala i
s on the right. They criss-cross each other at various points as they have a ser
pentine 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 H
am-Sa (the mantra formed of the combined sound of inhalation and exhalation- the
refore 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
a 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 th
ere in the form of Shakti, the primeval Godess. Similarly, the controller / co-o
rdinator of Pingala / right nadi (the sun) is located there in lord Shiva s form.
54.
If a wise person performs a charitable deed while inhaling and conscio
usly meditating on Sa sound, the result of such charitable deed gets multiplied mi
llion 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 th
is 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) provi
ding 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, mali
gnant / 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 o
f 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 c
onsidered the female principal. The sun nadi (pingala) which is right sided pran
ic channel, is the male principal.
The colour of Lunar nadi is white and that of Solar Nadi is black. T
herefore, auspicious works / acts and deeds must only be performed during the fl
ow 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 (sen
sual 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,6th Pingla, thus they k
eep alternating). While, conversely, during the first three days of Krishnapaksha
(the dark fortnight), the Pingala flows first. (1st,2nd,3rd PINGLA, 4th 5th,6th
IDA thus they alternate).
64.
In the bright fortnight, the lunar swara rises from the time of sunris
e and continues till the time span of two & a half Ghadis
( 60 minutes). I
n the dark fortnight, the solar Swara (Pingala ) rises first. So, these swaras f
low alternately for a period of two-and-a half ghadis ( 60 minutes) throughout t
he 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 a
ctivities. 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 fl
ow first, and during the dark fortnight the right pranic channel pingala must fl
ow initially.
67.
A wise person must never let the moon swara flow during the night. Sim
ilarly the sun swara must be suppressed during daytime. By practicing in this ma
nner daily and continuously one becomes a yogi.
68.
During the rise of pingala, the sun element is under one s control. The
moon is under control during Ida. The person who knows the flow of Swaras in thi
s manner can control the universe in a second.
69.
If a day starts with lunar swara at sunrise and ends with the solar sw
ara 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 act
s 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 ( mo
re 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 pe
rformed during the darker fortnight(krishan paksh).
Pattern of flow of Five Tattwas

72.
The air elements flows first of all in either nadis. Then follows the
fire element, and then flows the earth element. The sky element is active in the
end. (Air touches the sides of the nasal passage, Fire touches the top, Water t
ouches 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 th
e 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 transi
tions are said to occur. Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces o
ccur & transit during the flow of Ida. These zodiac signs are considered to be o
f moon (dominated).
75.
Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius occur and transit
during the flow of solar swara pingala, and they are considered to be sun domina
ted. One must determine the auspicious and inauspicious result via the rise of s
waras in the right nadi.
76.
The moon resides in the (represents) East and North directions. The Su
n (Solar Swara) represents the West and South. Hence, one must not travel towar
ds West and South while the Solar Swara is active.
77.
While the lunar Swara Ida is flowing, one must not travel towards North
& East otherwise there is a probability that the person may never return becaus
e of the perils of journey and threat from the enemies.
78.
Hence, the wise scholars, who desire good for all, have prohibited jour
ney in the Swaras-directions in the combinations mentioned above. Or, they migh
t even have to face death.
79.
If the lunar Swara Ida flows at the time of Solar Swara Pingala s flow, d
uring the second day of bright fortnight, then it has been observed that one exp
eriences 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 tim
e throughout the span of 24 hours will be successful.
81.
Contrarily, if the Lunar Swara flows at the time of Sunrise and the Sol
ar Swara at the time of moonrise then loss, conflicts, and sorrows ensue. Auspi
cious deeds are to be avoided at such times.
82.
During the flow of Solar Swara, one can undoubtedly acquire the knowled
ge 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 1st ghadi.
In the 2nd ghadi the wealth gets destroyed; in the 3rd, travel or movement ensue
s; in the 4th ghadi, there is a loss of dear things.
85.
During the 5th ghadi, there is the loss of one s state/province; disease
and death occur during the 7th; and death during the 8th ghadi. Thus is the resu
lt of opposite or reverse Swaras.
86.

If the opposite Swara flow for eight successive days during all three p

eriods (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 d
uring evening (dusk), then one gets victory daily. If the Swaras flow in the op
posite manner, there is loss & defeat and one must avoid almost everything durin
g such period.
88.
If the left or right Swara is active along with partially active Sushum
na, then one must start journey by putting the corresponding foot forward to ach
ieve success.
89.
While starting a journey, one must put left foot forward if the moon swa
ra 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 cor
responds to the active Swara with the palm of same hand one gets the desired fru
it.
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 hom
e 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 auspi
cious effects.
94.
To overcome an enemy, commit theft, while igniting the fire, while commi
tting unrighteous deeds one must keep the person or object on the side of non-ac
tive 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 undoub
tedly 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, comm
itting 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 en
tering a house.
100.
The flow of Swaras can make an incapable and incompetent person fully ca
pable and competent and vice-versa. As all the beings are under the control of t
he results of their previous karmas, therefore, they must act according to the f
low of Swaras like Sushumna.
101.
The active lunar Swara can act even as an antidote to poison. The activ
e solar Sara is beneficial for bringing the powerful under the control. While t

he third Swara (Sushumna) bestows liberation. Thus, one God has threefold funct
ions and existence.
102.
The nadis must flow according to the nature of work(s) to be performed t
hroughout day and night. If the Swaras are made to flow as per the nature of wo
rk e.g. then lunar Swara for auspicious work and Solar Swara for inauspicious th
en success in all ventures is assured.

103.
While performing worship, penance, and other stable and permanent action
s and giving long-lasting results, while wearing jewellery, starting journey to
far-off lands, while performing one dharma(s) throughout four stages of life
nam
ely Brahmcharya (celibacy), Grahastha (house holder s life), Vanaprastha (Going to jung
e, mountain or far off land to lead a spiritual life/ and Sanyara (formal declarat
ion 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 (ritualistica
lly) the image/idol of a deity, giving donation, journeying, marrying, wearing c
lothes, jewellery, and other decorative articles, the flow of ida is beneficial.
105.
Performing activities pertaining to peace-establishment, acquiring nouri
shment from divine herbs and chemicals, meeting one s 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 aus
picious 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 perf
ecting one s 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 incu
rable and deadly disease, and addressing one s master.
109.
Mounting an elephant or a horse, tying them (or putting them in their st
ables), learning the art of archery, doing charitable services, collecting wealt
h.
110.
Singing, playing musical instruments, dancing, studying the art of dance
, drama, and other aesthetic activities, entering a city or village, applying ti
lak, buying land.
111.
Facilitating, helping, pacifying the ones having sorrows, sufferings, fe
ver, 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 women s dental decoration, for the a
rrival of rain, for worshipping Guru, and for removing the effects of poison.
113.
The acts like
f Ida. But such acts
and flowing therewith
of Ida only if earth

practice of yoga are especially fruitful during the flow o

must be avoided if fire, air or ether elements are active
Ida (The above mentioned acts are fruitful during the flow
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 wome
n 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 d
ifficult 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 Uchchat
an (killing and emotionally destabilizing the enemy through rituals), while overc
oming the extra-terrestrial beings like ghosts, Yakshas and Yakshinis (demigods), Vet
al (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 oth
ers, and while writing, alphabets Pingala (solar) nadi is the best.

121.
The acts like Maran black, Mohan , Stambhan Uchachatan (killing, enchanting, p
lyzing, respectively, via black magic), controlling others by rituals of black m
agic, inspiriting, attracting, being enraged, giving donations, and buying and s
elling.
122.
Attracting evil spirits, bearing malice, getting rid of enemies, using s
word while battling the enemy, having sensual pleasures, meeting the king, eatin
g, bathing, performing formal and behavioural tasks and doing outstanding and sh
ining deeds is best accomplished during the flow of Pingala.
123.
The wise must perform the acts like eating, pleasing the senses, activat
ing 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 f
lows 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. Kn
ow 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, d
uring such time the undesired results for all activities ensue.
129.
The wise say that the simultaneous flow of both the Swaras is like the e
ffects 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). D

uring 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 Swara s 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 o
f charitable deeds involving possession of merit, is to be done.
134.
During the flow of irregular Swara one must not even mentally think of d
oing 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 t
hen 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 au
spicious.
137.
If one remains without food during the flow of adverse nadi Sushumna, an
d if in such a state he acquires complete absorption with the element that is su
btlest 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 reno
wned texts, as we know them. That, which actively aids the realization of and ab
sorption 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 Swar
a. The yogi who is engrossed in the Sadhana of knowing this science is the supr
eme 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) g
ranted there from, the yogis must know and comprehend the name of these five ele
ments. An expert in Swarodaya Science can know and differentiate the wicked pers
on 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 ma
de of different elements (but of same five basic elements). But there is a diff
erence in constitution of nadis.

146.
O Beautiful Godess! The rise of five elements in right and left Swaras h
as been described previously. Now listen, as I describe the eightfold Science o
f Tatwas (elements).
147.
1stly, the number of elements;2ndly, the sandhis (junction and conjunction
of breaths); 3rdly, the signs of Swaras; and 4thly the place of Swaras.
148.
The 5th part is colour and form of syllabus, 6th is prana, 7th relates t
o taste, in 8th section we have the signs and symptoms of the movement of tattwa
s.
149.
In this way, eight types of prana vayu pervade the universe. O lotus eye
d goddess, nothing is beyond the knowledge of Swaras.
150.
By all means, the Swara must be watched and monitored right from the sta
rt 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 finge
rs, 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, w
ater white, fire red, air dark black, and the sky appears multi-hued and strange
ly coloured.
153.
Please breathe while looking at a mirror. The wise can acquire the know
ledge of different tattwas by observing the shape and pattern formed on the mirr
or by the water vapours of breath.
154.
If the shape formed on mirror is a square or quadrangle it indicates ear
th element, crescent moon indicates water, a triangle indicates fire, and a circ
le indicates air.
155.
Earth element flows in the middle of breath, the breath endowed with wat
er flows downwards, the swara/breath enmeshed with fire flows upwards and air fl
ows slant, at an angle, the breath endowed with ether flows in both the Swaras.
156.
Earth is yellow coloured, water white coloured, fire red, air cloud-blue
, ether is multi-coloured (having all colours).
157.
Fire is located in the shoulders, of a human, the air element resides at
the root of navel, earth in the knees, water element in the end part of feet, a
nd ether element resides in the head.
158.
The earth element is sweet in taste, water astringent, fire s taste is pun
gent, air element taste, sour, while ether element is bitter in taste.
159.
The length of breath while the flow of active air element is eight finge
r s(thickness) breath (angula); fire element four angulas long; the length of brea
th in earth element is twelve angulas (finger); and the water element sixteen an
gulas long.
160.
The upward flow of breath while the fire element is active is deadly; th
e downward of breath when water is active element bestows peace; the slant and a
ngular flow of breath during active air element is good for the rites of black m
agic (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 fruct
ified if performed during active earth element; during the rise of water element
moving work is (involving versatility and granting fleeting results) give succe
ss; during the pre-dominance of fire element harsh, difficult, demanding, and cr
uel 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 pr
actice of Yoga Sadhana , is to be done. Otherwise, all actions are sure to be frui
tless 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 acti
ve 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 hu
e, slow motion, downward motion till the chin, heavy and deep sound, and warm te
mperature. It endows success in all steady works.
166.
The breath having a pre-dominance of water element is downward flowing,
heavy and deep sounded, fast flowing, cool in temperature and has a length of si
xteen angulas (fingers).
167.
The Swara / breath which is very hot, flowing in a circular motion & upw
ard moving is having a pre-dominance of the fire element and has a length of fou
r fingers. It is suitable only for performing harsh and cruel actions.
168.
The Swara that is somewhat cold and somewhat hot, dark in colour, having
a length of eight angulas , and having oblique motion has a pre-dominance of air.
It brings success in dynamic, versatile activities.
169.
The breath possessing the qualities of all elements in a balanced propor
tion is pre-dominated by ether element. This element bestows success to the yog
is in their Yoga .
170.
The earth element is yellow in colour, quadrangular shaped, flowing in t
he middle, and sweet in taste, it extends up to twelve angulas and provides sens
ual pleasures.
171.
The water element is white coloured, crescent moon, shaped, astringent i
n taste, wet, having a length of sixteen angulas , and is auspicious and profit giv
ing.
172.
The fire element is red coloured, triangularly shaped, pungent in taste,
upward, moving, radiating light, and has a length of four angulas .
173.
The air element is blue-coloured, circular in shape, sour in taste, havi
ng an erractic and slant/oblique motion and is eight angulars long.
174.
The ether element is unknowable and inaccessible due to its omni presenc
e, 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 re
sults. 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 S
outh 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 Sw
ara (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 ni
ght 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 dwelli
ng place due to fire.
179.
For the questions
regarding victory in life, profit, farming, wealth acc
umulation, the meaning of mantras, questions related to war and travel earth ele
ment is considered to be auspicious.
180.
During the earth element s pre-dominance the enemy is stationary and immob
ile ; in water element the enemy is coming ; during air the enemy will go in ano
ther 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 so
me basic materialistic concerns in mind, if water or air is predominant then the
questioners concern are for fellow human beings and creatures, if fire is activ
e then he has concern with metals , stones and such articles. If ether is predom
inant then the mind of the questioner is free of all worries.
182.
During the flow of earth the questioner is worried about the creatures h
aving more than two legs. During Water and Air he is concerned about human being
s, during the Fire element he is worried about his cattle, and during Ether he i
s worried about organisms with no feet and legs.
183.
In the right Solar Swara Mars, Sun, Saturn and Neptune ( Rahu ) reside respe
ctively 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 facili
tate 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 el
ement is active then the traveler is on his way to return, if Earth element is a
ctive then the traveler is at the same place. During the dominance of Air the tr
aveler is somewhere else ( a place different to the destination). If fire is dom
inant then consider him to be dead.
188.
During the dominance of Earth element the questioner wants to enquire ab
out plants, trees. If the water element is dominant then he wants to enquire abo
ut 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 abou
t 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 letharg
y 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 answer
s 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 constitution of f
ive elements.
193.
The five attributes of Earth element are bones, flesh, skin , nadis and
hair of this body. Even the Vedanta substantiates this.
194.
The five attributes of water element ( in human body) are semen /ova , b
lood, marrow, urine, and saliva. The Brahm Gyanis have said this.
195.
The five attributes of fire
leep , effulgence and lethargy.

as per Brahm Gyanis - are hunger , thirst, s

196.
The five attributes of air as per the Brahm Gyanis
, secretion of glands, contraction and expansion.

are running , walking

197.
The five attributes of Ether as mentioned by the Brahm Gyanis
are love o
r attachment, jealousy or malice, shyness, fear , and passionate bonding.
198.
In the human body the earth element is 50 Palas (Parts) water in 40 Pala
s, Fire 30 Palas, Air 20 Palas, and Ether 10 Palas.(Pal is a unit of time, 150 p
al equals to one hour.)
199.
If the Earth elements flows in the active Swara then there is delayed pr
ofit. In water element one get instantaneous benefit. The profit is meager in Ai
r 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 element s attributes.
201.
Various types of Swaras produced during the dominance of Earth element l
ike 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), R
ohini (Aldebaran), Jyestha (Antares), Anuradha (Scorpionis) , Shravana (Aquitae) , Ab
it(Vega), and Uttarashada / Uttarakhada
(Sagigtari).
203.
O Beloved! The nakshatras of water element are poorvashadha / Poorvakhada (Sagi
ttari), Aashelesha (Hydarae) , Moola (Scorpionis), Aardra (Betelgeuse), Revati (Pisciu

m),

Uttaraabhaadrapaada

(Andromedae), and

Shatabhishaa (Aquarii).

204.
O Beloved ! The constellations of fire are Bharani ( 41/35 Arietis) , Kritt
ikaa (Tauri), Pushya (Cancri), Maagha (Regular), Poorvaphalguni (Leonis) Poorvabhaadra
aada (pegasi), and Swati (Bootis).

205.
The constellations of Air element are Vishaakhaa (Librae), Uttaraaphaalguni
(Lionis) , Hasta (corvi), Chitraa (Virginis) , Punarvasu (Geminorium ) and ( Mrighshira
Orionis).
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 th
en all the actions will be rendered fruitless.
207.
enture

nts in

The answers to questions asked by someone regarding the success of any v

will be in negative during the flow of solar Swara even if it is flowing
full strength along with the dominance of auspicious and beneficial eleme
it.

Conversely, the answers to question asked regarding the success of a

ny venture will be in affirmative during the flow of the lunar Swara.
208.
Lord Shri Rama achieved victory during the flow of auspicious elements o
nly. Similarly, Arjuna was also victorious due to the dominance of favourable el
ements. All the Kauravaas were killed due to the dominance of unfavorable elemen
ts.
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 conc
entration / mediation on earth element is golden yellow in colour, square in sha
pe, 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 concentrate
s on the form of shining crescent moon the ability to bear and overcome hunger a
nd thirst is achieved. Also, one can live in water for a long time without drown
ing.
212.
By concentrating on fire element in the form of shimmering , shining , r
adiating red triangle and
chanting the beeja Ram one gets the
ability to consume and digest huge quantities of food and fluids. One also achie
ves the ability to bear excessive temperatures.

213.
By mediating on Air element having a dark circular form, alongwith the c
hant 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 power
s like Anima etc.
215.
There is no greater wealth than the presence of an expert practitioner o
f Swara Yoga because, with the knowledge of Swaras all actions bear fruit withou
t 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 dee
ds, victory and defeat, abundance and famine / want. Hence, the tattwas (element
s) 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 existen
ce (world)? Who is the best friend and accomplice of humans in this world? Throu
gh 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 o
r companion in the universe better than prana.
Devi Spoke
221.
How does the air element dwell in Prana ? How do the yogis discern the p
rana 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
ating or vomiting it becomes eighteen.

(fingers). While e

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 br
eath ( prana ) by two fingers grants bliss, by reduction of three angulas he get sexu
al power.
226.
Reduction by four angulas gives the power that one s words materialize, redu
ction of breath by five angulas grants the supernatural power to see all the obj
ects anywhere in the universe ; reduction by six fingers grants the power of lev
itation ; reduction by seven grants enormous speed.
227.
Reduction of prana by eight angulas grants eight siddhis (supernatural pow
ers), reduction by nine grants nine kinds of wealth ( nidhis ); ten provides ten dif
ferent forms to the practioner ; reduction by eleven fingers grants shadowlessne
ss.
228.

If the yogi is able to reduce the length of the prana by twelve angulas

he attains the state of a

ar of Ganga.

Hansa

and starts enjoying the bliss of drinking the nect

The yogi who can fill his whole body with Prana from toes to head to
fingernails does 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
Guru s instructions only. No knowledge of scriptures is required (as they won t suf
fice).
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 b
y putting forward the same foot which corresponds to that side of active Swara.
232.
Lunar Swara grants success and happiness in auspicious activities like s
tarting a journey, marriage, or entering a city (such acts must be performed dur
ing the flow of Lunar Swara Ida).
233.
If by one s good fortune one is blessed with the flow and activation of th
e presiding deities of a direction along with the swara that corresponds to thos
e elements in their attributes , then he can even paralyze the whole army of en
emies by a mere hissing of his / her breath. He / she won t get trouble and tribu
lations even in Baikuntha , the abode of Lord Vishnu.
234.
One who continuously recites the mantra Jivam Raksha and makes the vibrati
ons caused by this Mantra cloth his whole body during a war survives the war vic
toriously. He even conquers the whole earth.
235.
One must undertake and perform journey for auspicious and peaceful activ
ities during the flow of earth and water elements.
For dynamic, difficult and cruel actions, undertake journey during t
he 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 ac
complishes all deeds.
238.
If the opponent s army is standing towards the side of Shoonya Swara (empt
y Swara) and one s own army is towards poorna Swara, then victory in war is assure
d.
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 do
ing Sarpa Mudra, one gets success in all activities.
241.

When accomplished warriors go to battle during either lunar or solar Swa

ra s 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 si
de on which the active swara is flowing along with the air element cannot be def
eated even by Lord Indra.
243.
One, who draws in the prana till the ear towards the same side which cor
responds to the active swara while that Swara s air element is active and flowing,
conquers even lord Indra
King of all Devas.
244.
By safeguarding one s body from the attacks and blows of the enemies in th
is manner one cannot be defeated by powerful enemies.
245.
One who produces sound from his / her thumb, tip of index finger, and th
e 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 directio
ns.
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 con
trary.
248.
All the actions / deeds pertaining to profit, gain etc. questioned or an
swered at the time of inhalation get accomplished. The results are negative if t
he same is asked / answered during exhalation.
249.
A man s right Swara, and a woman s left Swara are auspicious. During battle,
kumbhaka (breath retention) is good. Thus, the three nadis have three different m
ovements and results.
250.
How can there be the knowledge of the science of Swaras without the know
ledge and differentiation of the syllables ha and sa ? The living beings get victori
ous 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 on
e of the body-organs in the battle.
252.
If a question is asked by someone during the flow of solar and lunar swa
ra 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 question if 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 thi
ghs 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 swara s flow he defeats the enemy in the b
attlefield (or in enemy s country).
256.
If there is any doubt regarding victory then check the flow of nadis. I
f 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 cor
responds to the active Swara one s victory is assured. There is no need to think
otherwise.
258.
The invading armies of enemies is defeated and conquered if the lunar Sw
ara of the general / King of invaded country is flowing.
259.
The king of invading army conquers the Gods, demons, and human if he bat
tles during the flow of solar Swara.
260.
The invader is defeated during the flow or Lunar Swara. He acquires ter
ritory during Sushumna s flow and is victorious during the flow of Pingala.
261.
During the flow of Poorna Swara if question regarding battle is asked by t
wo persons then the first to ask question is victorious while the second is conq
uered by his enemy. Whereas, during the flow of Shoonya Swara if question/s regar
ding 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) Sw
ara 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
Ida (lunar) nadi and asks question regarding victory etc. then if
of all the letters of that question in even (like 2,4,6 etc.) then
here. If the sum total of all the alphabets/letters is odd (1,3,5)
d defeat occur.

then loss an

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 Pingala s flow then b
attle 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 dominanc
e of fire there is a loss of body s organ, and during the dominance of air or ethe
r death ensues.
266.
If, due to mental disturbance/incapacity or, for any other reason, one d
oes 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 conc
entration and steadiness of mind he is successful everywhere in all the activiti
es.
269.
If one is stable, established, and firm (i.e. meditating intensely) duri
ng the flow of Sushumna then death, time, various dangerous and horrible weapons
, snakes, enemies, thieves, and any troubles and tribulations are unable to caus
e 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 througho

ut, 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 p
owerful in this world as well as in the next.
272.
The power acquired via the knowledge of Swaras for kings is equal to tho
usand, 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 achie
ve victory in wars between the humans only. But, what about the war with Yama
God of Death? How can one secure victory in a battle with him (How can one beco
me immortal)?

the

274.
Lord Shiva Said: By mediating upon God with one-pointed mind while, simu
ltaneously, perform kumbhaka (breath retention) during the flow of Sushumna This
kind of homa (Sacred offering) bestows the fulfillment of all desires, victory, an
d other immense gains.
275.
From the infinite formless God has this world of forms originated. By t
he realization of God (through the method just mentioned) one perceives this wor
ld 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 p
lease describe the science and art of enchanting and bewitchment.
277.
Lord Shiva replied : The Rishis have said that if a woman s lunar Swara is i
nhaled and pulled by a man through his solar Swara and retained in his anahata Ch
akra
heart s 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 anaha
ta 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 e
nded while, simultaneously, chanting, the eight syllable mantra (Om Namo Narayan
a) ---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 man s solar swara and a woman s lunar swara a
re united, or if he unites his lunar swara with a woman s 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 woman s lunar swara and man s 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)tim
es when a woman s solar Swara and a man s 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 simultan
eously 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 cap
tivate and bewitch all women. This method of enchantment and captivation of wome
n must not be disclosed to anyone. This is my command.
287.
If the sexual intercourse is performed on the fifth day after the menstr
ual cycle, while a woman s lunar Swara and man s 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 cow s milk is taken by a woman then she must pray thr
ee times to her husband for granting her pregnancy.
289.
If, after the menstrual cycle is over, the woman takes the Shankhballi dri
nk 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 pe
rformed then a crippled and ugly son is conceived.
291.
After the menstrual cycle is over, if sexual intercourse is performed du
ring day or night on odd numbered days (1,3,5,7 etc.) while the male s solar Swara
and female s lunar swara alongwith fire element is active, then even a barren wom
an will get a child.
292.
If the act is performed at the beginning of fertile period while the sol
ar swara of husband and the lunar swara of wife is flowing then even an infertil
e wife is also blessed with a son.
293.
If the husband solar swara is flowing at the beginning of the intercours
e and the act ends with the flow of lunar swara in the husband then all except t
he luckless ones are blessed with a son.
294.
if a question is asked regarding child birth during the flow of lunar na
di Ida then one gets a daughter; if the question is asked during the flow of Pin
gala 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 domina
tes then a girl-child, if fire then there is abortion or miscarriage, if ether a
n 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 alt
ernating swaras there is miscarriage. Such is mentioned by the knowers of this
science.
298.
If the child is conceived during the dominance of air element, the child
will be of melancholy disposition; if he is conceived during the dominance of w
ater 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 pros
perous, brave and hedonistic child is born.
299.
If a child s conception takes place during the dominance of water then the
child born will be wealthy, happy, hedonistic, and fortunate. During ether, th
ere is a miscarriage.
300.
During the pre-dominance of earth element, a virtuous and good child wil
l be born. If water is dominant then a girl child is born. During the dominanc
e of other elements there is either miscarriage or abortion or else the child di
es soon after birth.
301
If, suddenly, the lunar swara flows during the flow of solar swara or vic
e-versa then one must ask about the consequence from the Guru only. The Vedas a
nd 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 daw
n, when the sun moves towards north.
303. If at such time the earth, water, or air element is dominant alongwith th
e 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 g
reat suffering due to famine and food shortage. Thus, one must calculate the re
sults 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 perfor
ms any kind of activity during its flow (except yoga Sadhna), he inevitably suff
ers affiliations like destruction of country, epidemics, sorrows, sufferings, et
c.
306. The knowers of tatwa must examine the swaras during sun s transition into t
he constellation of Aries. And they must predict the year s forthcoming events ac
cordingly.
307. If the earth or water element is pre-dominant during this time then the r
esults are auspicious. If fire, air, or ether element is dominant then the resu
lts 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 w
ill be an abundance of food, superior farming, greater yield, prosperity, and ov
erall 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 fo
od grains.
310
The dominance of fire elements foretells famine, destruction of one s natio
n, destruction of food-grains, and scanty rainfall.
311
If during sun s transition into Aries the air elements is active then it fo
retells trouble, calamity, destruction by both natural and man-made disasters, f
ear, and scanty rainfall.
312
If the ether element dominates at that time then there is a want of happi
ness, 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 sho
rtage 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 sun s transition into
Aries, then one must start storing food-grains because there will be steep infla
tion 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, t
hen hell like conditions prevail on earth itself.
Question regarding Disease
316
If a question is asked regarding disease and during questioning the eart
h 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 patient s 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 Po
orna Swara then the patient
though afflicted by many diseases will survive.
319
If a questioner comes during Solar Swara and says a terrible thing (rega
rding patient s 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 pati
ent 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 questioner s standing level is below the level of
erer then the patient survives. Otherwise consider him dead.

Jivanga

of the answ

323
If the questioner sits towards the shoonya nadi (closed swara) and utters c
onfusing words, and appears in a confused state, and the swara is flowing errati
cally then adverse results are to be expected.
324
If the prana of the answerer is flowing in the lunar swara and the quest
ioner is sitting towards the solar swara then inspite of being surrounded by hun
dreds 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 flo
w erratically then one has to face separation from friends, brothers, and relati
ves.

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, res
pectively.
328.
The lamp of human body which is made of five elements, is nourished by t
he 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 durat
ion.
330.
Person who does this yoga Sadhana is blessed with nectar flowing from th
e 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 di
es 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 tat
twas (prophets).
334.
These prophets say that if the same swara flows for three consecutive da
ys 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 ti
me.
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 c
omes within one month ; if the sun s 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 thi
s.
Symptoms of the messenger
337.
If the messenger who has come to ask about the well
being of a patient i
s wearing a red, saffron or black coloured clothes, and he has an oily shaven he
ad, 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 b
elieve that the patient is surrounded with death.
338.
If a person, who is sad, suddenly becomes alright and starts getting exc
ited 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 w
icked repents later on and dies.
341.
If someone s 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, sk
y, pole star, the milky way galaxy, the star Arundhati, Moon,Venus, Agatsya, rou
te 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 fi
re 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 complexi
oned man suddenly becomes glittering like gold , if brave becomes timid, pious b
ecomes impious, mentally calm man becomes fickle-minded then he dies in eight mo
nths.
347.
If someone feels pain in the palm of the hand , at the root of the tongu
e, if his blood becomes balckish in colour, or if he feels too much of pain whil
e 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 fi
fth months.
350.
One whose eyes are devoid of light and whose both eyes feel pain dies af
ter 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 dist
ance of death as per Shivagam (Shiva s Scripture)
353
After going alone to a lonely jungle and keeping sun behind one s 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 Shiv
a appears to the practitioner in myriad other forms. If such practitioner contin
ues this practice for six months becomes the master of living beings. If he cont
inues till two years then he himself might become lord Shiva the lord of creatio
n, 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 dise
ases come , if red then he will have fear , if blue then he will undergo loss. I
f lord Shiva s form appears as multi-hued then the practitioner gets perfection ( si
ddhi )
359.
If, during observing his shadow in the lonely jungle, the practitioner s
ees his feet, ankles or belly missing then know that his life span has ended.
360.
If the practitioner sees his left arm s shadow missing then his spouse wil
l die. If the right arm is missing then the brother or kinsmen will die and he h
imself will also expire.
361.
If the shadow of head is not visible then the practitioner dies in a mon
th. If the thighs or shoulders are missing then he will die in eight days. If th
ere is no shadow visible then the practitioner is already dead.
362.
If, while observing one s shadow in the morning
while standing with the su
n behind, one s lips or finger s 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 head s shadow is missing and if he is spook
y then he dies in six months.
363.
If a person s Solar Swara flows continuously for sixteen days he faces dea
th 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 person s urine, excreta , and wind are expelled simultaneously know t
hat his prana (vital power / life force) is weak, he dies in ten days.
366.
The omniscient sages have said that if a person s lunar swara is always ac
tive he dies within a month.
367.
If a person is unable to see the pole star, Arundhati Star & sky and Maa
trikamandal then such person s lifespan has ended.
368.
In the above couplet ( Shloka ) Arundhati, Pole star, sky, and Maatrikamanda
l are the symbolical representations of tongue, the tip of the nose, eyebrows, an
d 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 one s eyes after p
ressing them with the tips of fingers then such a person dies within ten days
371.
One escapes death by holy pilgrimages ,charity ,penance , reciting mantr
as, mediation , yoga sadhana, and virtuous acts.

372.
Bad and immoral conduct, fault in bowel movements and sperm s non-preserva
tion destroy the body. Balanced prana (and its sub types) increase one s 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 preser
ved. By practice of yoga one must remove all the physical faults and ailments. O
therwise, 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 th
ree nadis must be known as prayaga ( the place of confluence of these three rive
rs).
376.
Initially, the means of instant result achievement was described. Now th
e yogi must in Padmasana (the lotus posture) and practice Uddiyana Bandha - reta
ining 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 s
pecific 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 the
se three pranayams one becomes a yogi. After these three pranayams the mind gets
steady therefore one must start practicing Sadhana to conquer death methodicall
y.
380.
The wise person must inhale through his solar Swara and then perform Kum
bhaka (breath retention) and then exhale through his lunar swara.
381.
One who incessantly drinks his lunar swara wit his solar swara and his s
olar 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, s
imultaneously, 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 ele
ments 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 thin
k about the objects of senses, obtains victory over death like a child s play.
386.
A yogi whose minds get steady and thoughtless even for one Yama (three hou
rs) 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 Si
ddhas.
388.
They are blessed , who sitting in Padmasana (lotus posture) stop their apan
a vayu and take it upwards and combine it with their prana vayu and take these co
mbined 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 pe
rfected in this science.
391.
The master practitioner of swara science has Lakshmi (prosperity, fortun
e) 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, herb
s 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 imparte
d the knowledge of even a single syllable of the Swara Science.
395.
In this Swara Shastra the details regarding the flow of Swaras along wit
h their results, the knowledge of tattwas (and how to employ them for one s well b
eing), war (method of winning), the captivation and enchantment of women , detai
ls regarding, child-conception , and disease, etc. have been described in half a-m
easure only.
396.
As per the yogis and siddhas the recitation of this text during the sola
r and lunar eclipses bestows siddhi (perfection). The yogi must practice moderat
ion in food and sleep, and concentrate on Paramatma (the supreme soul) steadily an
d realize him.
Thus, ends the Swarodaya Shastra. The scripture which is in the form
of a dialogue between Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
