his mind with his voice and tries to locate the source of
his voice mentally. This raises his Kundalini directly to
the throat-centre. When he attains the level of locating
the source, his Kundalini descends to the heart-centre. He
locates the source somewhere near the lower end of his
physical heart. It is called “the point of the sword on his
left breast”. By this time, he gains mastery over mind. He
meditates that point with a superimposition of the colour
orange on a light-green back-ground. He stops his vocal
utterance and begins to utter the sacred word mentally.

the sacred word into the Sahasra-ra. Then his Guru replaces

located in the constellation of Sagittarius is therefore called
the bird “Sampa-thi”, which directly soars up to the face of
the Sun and gets itself burnt. Sampa-thi is the brother of
the bird Jata-yu in the Ra-ma-yan.a. Jata-yu gives the where-

tail of the eagle that faces the Sun. The sign Gemini is the
face of the bird.
The Sign Sagittarius is a double sign. It is represented
by an archer, whose lower body is that of a horse.
Shooting, riding and horse-racing are governed by this
sign. This is for the guidance of the ordinary man. The
return of the World Saviour at the end of the present age
will be in the form of the archer riding on horseback. This
is according to the Pura-n.ic prophecy and also the prophecy
of the Book of Revelation.
