While these rituals prevent the rebirth of the person, the main goal of the rituals is to purify the person and to allow him/her to reach the divine body.  For this, it is necessary to clean the nine doors/orifices called orifices that exist in the body. This tradition of nine orifices is continued in the Bhagavadgītā, and the nine cavities are listed as two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, the mouth, and the two excretory organs in the male (urinary system and anus). Besides, in Kaṭha Upaniṣad texts, in addition to these nine orifices, the opening at the navel and top of the skull and the city with eleven gates are referred to. If a person is to be reborn, s/he has to be born in one of the life forms such as hell, animal, human, or god, according to the orifices s/he as chosen. This indicates the transition from one realm to another, which brings to mind black holes, wormholes, and parallel universes discussed today in the field of astrophysics. In addition to all these, due to the acceptance of humans as micro cosmologists, his/her orifices are identified with macro cosmology. This study will investigate the orifices in the human body and their connections with the planets, as well as analyze these spaces in relation with the idea of black holes, wormholes, and parallel universes.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Eski Uygurcada önemli bir yere sahip olan Tantrik Budizm büyü, cinsellik, yoga gibi ezoterik bir yapıya sahiptir ve çeşitli ritüelleri içerir. Bu ritüeller kişinin yeniden doğuşunu engellerken ritüellerin asıl amacı kişiyi arındırmak ve ilahi bedene ulaşmasını sağlamaktır. Bunun için bedendeki delikler olan dokuz kapıyı/deliği temizlemek gerekir. Bu dokuz delik düşüncesi Bhagavadgītā’da sürdürülür ve dokuz delik iki göz, iki kulak, iki burun deliği, ağız ve erkekteki iki boşaltım organı (idrar sistemi ve anüs) olarak sıralanır. Ayrıca Kaṭha Upaniṣad metinlerinde bu dokuz deliğe ek olarak göbek ve kafatasının üst kısmındaki açıklıktan bahsedilir ve böylece on bir kapılı şehirden bahsedilir. Bir insanın yeniden doğması için, cehennem, hayvan, insan, tanrı hayat şekillerinden birinde, seçtiği deliklere göre doğması gerekir. Bu, bir âlemden diğerine geçişi gösterir ki bu da günümüzde astrofizik alanında tartışılan kara delikler, solucan delikleri ve paralel evrenleri akla getirir. Bütün bunlara ek olarak, insanın mikro kozmoloji olarak kabul edilmesinden dolayı, bedendeki delikler makro kozmoloji ile özdeşleştirilebilir. Bu çalışma, insan vücudundaki delikleri ve bu deliklerin gezegenlerle olan bağlantılarını inceleyecek ve bu delikler kara delikler, solucan delikleri ve paralel evrenler fikriyle ilişkilendirerek analiz edecektir.</p></trans-abstract>
