Alakh Niranjan — Amritnath

Nathas call the Absolute "Alakh Niranjan" (transcendent and inaccessible to ordinary perception). The Universe is created as a result of the disclosure of the creative energy of the Absolute. This energy is called Shakti, it is identical to Shiva himself. Shakti unfolds into diversity, which always, at whatever stage of disclosure it is, will be inside this incomprehensible reality of the Absolute.

There are two variations of this practice amaroli (amarolī-kriyā, amarolī-mudrā):

• the first comes from the Kapalikas’ tradition and means using the middle part of the jet of one's own urine for ingestion or rubbing into the body.

• the second option is identical to Vajroli-kriya, it consists in retracting (or raising) the seminal fluid upwards at the end of sexual intercourse. However, the description should not be taken literally here – it is about controlling apana (and bindu – the seed in a subtle form) and raising it up, which implies the transformation of sexual energy into ojas.
