Vajroli, as a technique of holding the semen during sexual intercourse, is known to us through 25 sources. Among them are the Dattatreya Yoga Shastra1<\/sup>, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Shiva Samhita, and the Amanaska2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Although the first references are found as early as the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, the name itself is found only in the Dattatreya Yoga Shastra (ca. 13th century).<\/p>\n

The text of Vajroli Yoga gives a more detailed explanation of the performance of the technique. The purposes mentioned are:<\/p>\n

\u220e increasing male sexual energy (line 1.21),<\/p>\n

\u220e the ability to control menstruation (line 1.26),<\/p>\n

\u220e and, in fact, the ability to control the release of semen – and hence procreation.
The distinction between vajroli, amaroli, and sahajoli is also described (line 2.20).<\/p>\n

The text borrows two rituals from the Tantric tradition, namely the ritual of placing deities in the body (anga-nyasa) and the practice of bija-mantras. But we cannot fully consider it tantric, since the main goal here is to bring bodily manifestations under control, which is the main goal of hatha yoga. Whereas in tantric texts it is about intensifying experiences.<\/p>\n

For those who wish to familiarize themselves with the original source, we note that the manuscript contains a number of misprints, grammatical forms and words uncharacteristic for Sanskrit. Also, there is no known commentary to this text.<\/p>\n

The division of the text into parts was added by the translator for easier orientation in the text. In the manuscript itself the lines are numbered only up to number 27. There is no further division.<\/p>\n

We would like to express our special gratitude to Ihor Oleksandrovych Tonoyan-Belyaev for his critical comments on the translation!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
