Hari Singh was a Hatha Yogi. He was buried underneath the ground in a box for three
months in Ranjit Singh’s court. He came back with life when the box was opened. Hatha Yogis
block the Talu Chakra, the posterior nasal openings, with their elongated tongue that is obtained
through Bahir Kechari Mudra Kriya of Chalan (moving the tongue frequently), Doshan (dragging
the tongue with butter) and Chedan (cutting the frenulum lingua that is underneath the tongue).
They drink slowly the nectar that dribbles from the Sahasrara Chakra through the opening in the
palate. This instance of Hari Singh clearly indicates that the real “I” is entirely distinct from
Prana. In spite of the suspension of breath, Hari Singh had continuity of consciousness.
