Sukṣmadhyāna

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Sukṣmadhyāna literally means ‘subtle contemplation’.

When the Kuṇdaliṇi is awakened, and joins the jīvātman,[1] it leaves the body through astral light through the portals of the eyes and the yogi is able to see his own subtle body.[2] The Gheranda Samhitā[3] describes this process.
