meditation 11

Sitting

with eyes closed . . .

place your mind

within your head . . .

Imagine flames of light

arising from your head . . .

Gradually fix your mind firmly

on the Supreme Point . . .

Divine Light shines . . .

Notes.

To enable his commentary on this scripture to endure down through the ages, Swami Lakshmanjoo left it in two other forms:

(i) a series of videos gracing each verse, which over a few years, John Hughes of the Lakshmanjoo Academy recorded, and

(ii) Swami Lakshmanjoo's textual embodiment of the tapes, The Manual for Self-Realization: 112 Meditations of the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra (edited by John Hughes).

Both are treasures! In each, Swamiji comments on the scripture while responding to questions from his students. Swamiji emphasizes that the video version transmits his teaching with a higher level of fidelity.

For Swami Lakshmanjoo's commentary on this verse (No. 34), please consult his Manual for Self Realization (John Hughes, ed.).

Swami Lakshmanjoo and Pandit Dina Nath Muju's translation reads as follows:

Verse 34

Sitting with eyes closed, place your mind in your head. Imagine flames of light arise from your head. Gradually fix your mind firmly on the supreme point. Divine light shines.
