[Advaita-l] Rainbow Body

[K Kathirasan]

Namaste 

My present reply is for the purpose of directing you to a scholarly work on the Khecarividya of the Hatha Yogis. Do refer to the work of James Mallinson called 'Khecarividya of Adinatha’. He not only wrote about it but also supposedly practiced by even cutting the base of the tongue to insert the tongue into the posterior cavity.  Warmest regards.

> The reason for asking this question is that during the recent Yoga day camp at our place, one of the yoga teacher talked about some 'Kechari' mudra, may be a highest yogic exercise, very difficult to practice. It is something related to rechaka-puraka/kumbhaka, finally holding the breath inside (not breathlessness).

>> Did Adi shankaracharya talked about this or mentioned in any of his works? Why I was putting this question is that his nirvana from the physical world is by walking to kailasha.  Then how to reach state called breathlessness while living?
