BRAHMARANDHRAM
A symbol of the ray of the Divine Life which enters into the highest range of the mind (head).
"The brahmarandhram is an imaginary orifice of the skull on the top of the head, through which, according to Ait. I. 3, 12, Brahman entered into the body and by which the soul, or according to the more usual view only the souls of the emancipated, having ascended by the hundred and first vein (subsequently named sushumnâ) attains to union with Brahman." - DEUSSEN, Phil. of Upanishads, p. 283.
The "orifice of the skull " is the aperture of the mind towards the Divine influence from above; indicative of a receptive attitude to Truth. The "sushumna vein from the heart " is a symbol of aspiration from the love nature of the soul. It is by means of aspiration and receptivity that the soul mounts upward to union with the Divine.
