Brahmarandhra: The Mysterious Exit Point of Liberated Souls 😱

🔹 Ever wondered where the soul exits at death?

Yogic texts say there’s a secret portal at the top of your head.. invisible, yet real.

👉 It’s called Brahmarandhra... the Exit of the Liberated.

A Thread 🧵

In the human body, there is a sacred spot called Brahmarandhra...

👉 It is located at the crown of the head, where the Sahasrara Chakra sits.

This is not just symbolic... it’s the true exit point for liberated souls (jivanmuktas) at death.

Anatomically, Brahmarandhra is believed to lie at the fontanelle... the soft spot in newborns.

🔹 Why is it soft at birth?

Because the gateway is still open.. only later it closes as the ego develops.

But yogis reopen it through intense spiritual practice.

📌 The name “Brahmarandhra” means:

• Brahma = Supreme Reality
• Randhra = Hole or aperture

It is the subtle opening through which the Atman can merge with Brahman... the cosmic Self.

📌 Yogic Scriptures Say:

“When the yogi pierces Brahmarandhra at death,
He rises through the crown into the eternal Light.”
— Hatha Yoga Pradipika

Death is not the end.. it’s an exit. But only few know the right door.

There are 101 Nadis flowing from the heart.

But one special Nadi.. the Sushumna, rises straight up to the Sahasrara.

👉 If the prana exits via the Sahasrara, you attain Moksha.

Any other path? You're reborn.

📌 Ordinary people exit through:

• Eyes: desire
• Mouth: speech karma
• Ears: past impressions
• Lower apertures: base desires

👉 But only the rarest souls exit through the Brahmarandhra... the path to complete liberation.

In deep Samadhi, when the Kundalini ascends and pierces the Sahasrara...

👉 The yogi’s consciousness explodes into infinite space.

They taste death while alive.. and at the moment of actual death, they simply walk out.

📌 In Shiva Purana, it is said:

“At death, the soul rises through the Brahmarandhra only when the yogi has awakened inner knowledge.”

🔹 Otherwise?
You’re pulled back into the wheel of karma.

Even today, in Himalayan cremation rituals for advanced yogis..

👉 There’s a practice of breaking the skull at Brahmarandhra with a stick or stone.

It’s called Kapal Kriya... to help the soul escape through the crown.

Yes... it’s that real.

👉 Sahasrara Chakra is called the Thousand-petalled Lotus... the final chakra.

When awakened, the yogi hears Om, sees divine light, and dissolves all sense of “I”.

Nothing remains.
Only Consciousness.

Modern science ignores this.

But ancient yogis mapped a complete spiritual anatomy...

👉 Where the body is a temple, and liberation is physiological too.

The soul is not trapped forever... there’s a door above.

📌 Want to activate this exit?

→ Practice meditation on Sahasrara
→ Chant Om while focusing on the crown
→ Live a sattvic, detached life
→ Surrender ego
→ Transcend duality

That’s how you find the door.

👉 Brahmarandhra is not a myth.

It’s a mystical reality...
A secret tunnel through which consciousness escapes the cage of karma.

Life is a journey.
But Liberation has a destination...
Upward and Inward.

📌 But what exactly happens when the soul exits the body?
