shrams, its guru and its
group of disciples. At this stage “an axial rotation from
the horizontal to the vertical plane” occurs in all the
potencies of the individual. He lives in his Vis’uddhi and

jna- centres. This rotation makes him locate his head in
the tenth house. His consciousness “dies in the first house
and is again born in the tenth house”. This is one of the
keys to read Bha-gavatha Pura-n.a (the book of twelve
divisions) where the death of the Lord is described in the
first book and his birth in the tenth book. Along his Brahma
Danda (the spinal cord) the whole zodiac folds vertically
into two halves. He should locate the tenth house on his
head, his fourth house at his feet. The tenth to fourth
houses denote his descending path (Ida) and the houses
from fourth to tenth denote his ascending path (Pingal.a).
From such a type of meditation he arranges the twelve
houses in six pairs of houses where the negative and the
positive potencies in him coincide with and neutralise one
another.
Much of his polarity is neutralised through an
activity of his six chakra-s on the etheric and the astral
planes. This being done, his guru permits him to repeat
the same process with the zodiacal signs. The vernal
equinox is located in the head and the autumn equinox
in the spinal-base (Mu-la-dha-ra). The six pairs of signs
coincide with his six chakras. Taurus and Pisces are located
in the pineal and the pituitary bodies. Gemini and
Aquarius are located in the vocal cords and the utterance.
Cancer and Capricorn are located in the respiratory and
the circulatory activity (Ana-hata). Leo and Sagittarius are
located in the spleen-centre (Swa-dhishta-na). Virgo and
Scorpio are located in the digestive and the sexual centres
(Manipu-raka). Here is a slight variation from the traditional
