[Advaita-l] : Sankhya and Yoga can give Moksha?

[Sunil Bhattacharjya]

Namaste,

That he was asked to do Paranayama in the ratio 1 : 2 : 2 may be a fact  and it could be probably because  his guru  did not want his Kundalini jagarana to be  fast. That he knew Vajroli wasby  his own admission. How can you say no that?

Namaste

In some book I remember Sri Abhinava Vidya Teertha has said he was
doing Pranayama in the ratio 1-4-2. Inhale for some time. Hold breath
for 4 X time and Exhale for 2 X time. But his Guru asked to do the
ratio 1-2-2. He did not do Vajroli.
