Pagalinanda demonstrates the Naga Practice of  ‘penis yoga’ in his den near the cremation grounds of Pashupatinath. This practice is based on the complete transcendence of sexual impulses. After this, the yogi is truly initiated during a ritual in which certain nerves of the penis are broken, enabling him to "lift" rocks weighing over 100 pounds. However, the initiation ceremony for this practice makes it highly unlikely he will ever have another erection.

Hindu devotees wait in line before dawn to enter the main Shiva temple at Pashupatinath in Kathmandu, Nepal. This temple, dedicated to Shiva as lord of the animals and Nepal’s patron god, was built in 1696, but the site was sacred long before that. It towers above the sacred Bagmati River, lined with bathing and cremation ghats, or platforms, and hundreds of smaller temples, dedicated to Shiva  and other Hindu deities.

Moksha, perfect inner freedom-is the soul's release from samsara, the cycle of birth and death, attained after dynamic and personal yogic realization of Parasiva and resolution of all seed karmas.  Having known the Absolute, there is no fuller realization, no greater   knowing, no higher "experience." Even when God realization is attained, the soul body continues to evolve in this and other worlds until it merges with the Primal Soul as a drop of water merges with its source, the ocean. -Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami
