A few days back you wrote: “It happens sometimes when the force is flowing down from the Brahmarandhra.” What does this Sanskrit word indicate?

The place at the top of the head (called crown of the head) which is supposed to be the part at which things ordinarily come in from above and go out. E.g. it is through this that the being in the sukshma deha (subtle physical) goes out at the time of death and also it is the passage of connection (previous to opening) between the higher and the lower consciousness.
