The Mystique of Enlightenment

by Mahesh Bhatt

Up and down UG's torso, neck and head, at those points which Indian holy men call 'chakras', his friends observed swellings of various shapes and colours, which came and went at intervals. On his lower abdomen the swellings were horizontal, cigar-shaped bands. Above the naval was a hard, almond-shaped swelling. It is a hard, blue swelling, like a large medallion, at the base of his throat. These two 'medallions' were as though suspended from a multicolored, swollen ring blue, brownish and light yellow around his neck, as in pictures of Hindu Gods.
