“May all be happy, may all be healed, may all be at peace and may no one ever suffer."
Keep your head close to the ground in a kneeling posture. Place the palms of both hands on the base of the head immediately below the brahmapalat with the fingers of both the hands pointing towards each other. Then lift the knees up and bring the feet towards the head as much as possible. This time, keeping the weight of the body on the palms and wrists, raise the feet a little while keeping the knees bent. Raise the feet for 5/10 seconds as much as possible and lower them again. Practice this for a few minutes every day. After a few days of practice, you will be able to lift your legs up and keep your body still in such a broken knee condition. Stretch the whole body from the waist to the head and when it is no longer difficult to stay in this way for some time, straighten the broken knee and lift the feet up and stand straight with the whole body resting on the head. The whole body will then make a right angle with the ground.
In this asana, the whole body has to be placed on the top or head, hence its name Mastaka Mudra or Topasana.
Practice this asana first for half a minute or one minute. Gradually increase the practice time. For healthy people, the maximum practice level of this asana is 10 minutes. Dosage for patients and weak persons is 2 minutes to 3 minutes. Once well-accustomed, the asana can be practiced for the above-mentioned time while standing. Until you get used to it, if you stay in this asana for as long as you don't feel any kind of pain in your body, you will lower your legs and rest for a while and do the asana again. Special attention should be paid to the front of the head so that the weight of the body does not fall, the weight of the body should be placed on the brahmatalu.
This asana is prohibited for those who have heart disease, hypertension and ear disease. This asana can be done when the heart function has become more or less normal through other yogic processes. People who have bile dosha or liver problems should also do this asana in the evening or evening. There is no need to practice this asana in the morning.
