Nectar Discovery Yoga / Amrityoga / अमृतयोग
Amrityoga is a term used in Vedic astrology. In this article, the reference is the application of yoga methods for the discovery of celestial nectar intake (ambrosia) into the enhanced subtle body which is upgraded to at least the swargaloka heavenly world.
Amrita is the celestial beverage which is used in the heavenly planet of swargaloka for nourishment. There the substance is a liquid and there are some granular food as well which consist of micro-crystals of bliss energy which is taken through the mouth. There are no dense food stuffs. The need never arises to take raw or cooked flesh foods. There is no use of fire in food preparation. No food is cooked.
A parallel place to swargaloka is siddhaloka which is inhabited by advanced yogis who do practices which allow them to contact levels which are higher than swargaloka. Piously inclined people who become deceased may go the swargaloka celestial realm but yogis who lose the attraction to pious life and to pleasure may go to siddhaloka In that place they do not ingest food through the mouth. They take subtle nutrients from the environment through the pores of the subtle body. This causes those bodies to become bliss-stunned, where the ascetics remain in specific asana postures for a time, for weeks, months or years even. In such trance states, they access yet higher dimensions as their psyches transit to higher planes and interact with the people on those levels.
When doing pranayama breath infusion in the kundalini yoga practice, one’s subtle body may transit to the swargaloka, siddhaloka or even higher planes of consciousness. When this happens one should focus on the higher level, on how it feels, on the bliss aspect as to whether it is intense, neutral, or charming, cool, warm or heated. Usually one will see no one whom one can question about the location but if one has a submissive attitude, it may be inspired into one’s mind as to the plane of consciousness one accessed. This will allow the cultivation of compatibility of the subtle form to a specific higher plane, so that when one is evicted from the physical system when it is no longer functional, one’s subtle body may transit to that higher place and be in association with others who reside there.
