Part 2.2 - The concept of Brahmarandhara
鈥�Brahmarandhara鈥� means the hole of Brahman. It is the dwelling house of the human soul. This is also known as 鈥�诲补艣补尘补诲惫腻谤补鈥�, the tenth opening or the tenth door. The hollow place in the crown of the head known as anterior fontanelle in the newborn child is the Brahmarandhara. This is between the two partial and occipital bones. This portion is very soft in a baby. When the child grows, it got obliterated by the growth of the bones of the head. Brahma created the physical body and entered (辫谤补惫颈艣补迟) the body to give illumination inside through this Brahmarandhra. In some of the 鲍辫补苍颈峁诲蝉, it is stated like that. That is the most important part. It is very subtle for 苍颈谤驳耻峁嘺 诲丑测腻苍补 (abstract meditation). When a 测辞驳墨 separates himself from the physical body at the time of death, this Brahmarandhra bursts open and 辫谤腻峁嘺 comes out through this opening (kapala 尘辞办峁). 鈥淎 hundred and one are the nerves of the heart. Of them one (蝉耻峁尘苍腻) has gone out piercing the head; going up through it one attains immortality鈥�.
No longer a channel of reception out of radiation, no longer a depression but a prominence, standing out from the head as a done, a veritable crown of glory.
