The upwardly channelized semen is known as Urdhva-retas in Hinduism. Urdhava means upward, retas is semen. The word urdhvaretas has become a synonym for a brahmacharin (celibate), but it is really more meaningful. An adept, by the practice of Yoga, especially brahmacharya (celibacy), never allows the semen to flow downward, but turns it in the upward direction. By the practice of mudras like khecari, vajroli and yoni mudra, one may become an urdhvaretas. Shiva Bhagavan, the god of yogins (Yogeshwara), is an ideal urdhvaretas. Other examples are sages such as Kanva and  hatha yogis such as Gorakhnath. By becoming urdhvaretas, one raises the prana, increases virya (vitality) and extends the life span. It is said in Dhyana Bindu Upanishad (79-80) that khechari mudra stops the downward flow of the elixir oozing out from the moon situated in the topmost portion of the skull (talu-mula). It involves turning the tip of the tongue backward and inserting it in the passage above the soft palate
