If a yogi practices Kundalini Yoga, then his cherished goal is to attain the state of nectar. Nectar is also called amara-varuni—the wine of immortality. In the “Kularnava Tantra,” where the states of the Kaulika yogi, that is, a yogi of the highest qualification, are described, it says: “He who does not smell of fish and wine is the lowest of men.”
This can be interpreted in two ways. The Kaulikas were known for extravagant rituals involving the consumption of wine, meat, and fish. But in another context, taking into account the metaphorical language of Tantra, this should be interpreted as follows. Wine is amara-varuni, the nectar of immortality, and the fish is the fish that swims in the Saraswati River, between the Ganges and the Yamuna. That is, between the ida and pingala channels, which are also called the Ganges and the Yamuna, there is the central channel (Saraswati), in which the fish (kundalini) moves, and only a skilled yogi can catch it. Therefore, the one who does not smell of fish and wine is the one who does not drink the nectar and whose kundalini does not move in the sushumna. It is precisely such a person who is considered the lowest of men among the Kaulikas.
This is fully true for yogis, especially those who practice the path of energy. For those who practice the path of awareness, it is a natural complement to the practice of presence.
The Interconnection of the Red and White Bindu
In order to experience nectar in the body, one should understand the interconnection of the red and white bindu. In essence, the whole life of a yogi comes down to connecting the lower part of the body with the upper part, and feeling how they are connected through the central channel. To do this, one should understand that there are two chains of chakras.
The first chain of chakras is muladhara and ajna. They awaken together. When you perform mula bandha, a powerful flow of energy goes to the ajna chakra, and then the central channel begins to come alive.
The second chain of chakras is vishuddha, bindu visarga, soma, and lalana. They also awaken together. When vishuddha opens, the soma chakra is also activated, and lalana, bindu, and visarga exude nectar. If you have understood these two groups of chakras in your body, you understand how nectar arises. That is, this must be felt with your own body.
Bindu is always described as the full moon. It is said that the nectar produced by bindu intoxicates the creative mind and increases the body’s resistance to toxins accumulated in its system.
At a certain stage of spiritual evolution, this is an inevitable process that takes place regardless of the type of yoga you practice.
That is, amara-varuni is simply a certain proce
