Chin Lock, or Jalandhara Bandha, is one of the four locks used in Yoga. A Bandha, or lock, in yoga is a neuromuscular lock in which there is contraction of certain muscles and nerves. ‘Jala’ means network of nerves and ‘dhara’ means upward pull. The nerves passing through the neck are used in Jalandhara Bandha. Jalandhara Bandha is performed during retention of breath. The retention of breath is known as kumbhaka. In this yogic practice, the chin is firmly pressed into the sternum or the jugular notch after inhalation or exhalation while holding the breath.

 Anakottil is a unique structure found in many important temples in Kerala. It is the elephant shed or shelter in a Hindu temple. It is usually found adjacent to the main temple within the temple courtyard. In Malayalam it is also referred to as Nadapanthal. It is usually constructed touching the Balikalpura. During festivals and important rituals, caparisoned elephants stand in the anakottil with the thidambu – golden structure representing the main deity of the temple. Anakottil is a big structure supported mostly by eight pillars and is open on all four sides. The height of the Anakottil is calculated by a person sitting atop the elephant and lifting ornamental umbrella (pattukuda). Another method of determining the height of the structure is by seeing the height attained when the tallest elephant of the temple lifts its trunk. Some of the important temples in Kerala have the Anakottil in front of the temple or on the left side.

It is the cry of humanity that summons God in the form of the Incarnation. When the need is felt, it is responded to properly by God. Brahma-Vidya is the art and the science of educating oneself in the manner of correctly perceiving the world as such, including one’s own self in the totality of relations, so that no partial vision of things can be regarded as a passport to the concept of the Absolute. The true philosophic method should not be lop
