Siddhas and yogis have the power to go into states of suspended animation. They attain temporary sammadhi states. Their bodily activities will become imperceptible. But the soul will be somewhere in their bodies. Sometimes they remove their sould from the body and go outside. Then they would reenter the body.
Just below the uchchanthalai is a very subtle opening. It is called the Brahmarandra. It is otherwise known as the 'dasama dvaara' - the 10th aperture. Why 10th? All are aware of the 9 dvaaras - 'aindhu kallaal oru kOttai; andha aanandha kOttaikku onbathu vaasal' as is mentioned in 'nondi chinhu'. The 9 dvaaras are 2 nostrils, 2 ears, 2 eyes, 1 mouth, 1anus, 1 urethal/sexual opening.
When siddhas and yogis finish their mundane existance, their soul leaves the body ideally through the Brahmarandra. Or through any of the orifices in the head. This is called 'Kapaala MOksha'. When activities cease in the body of the siddha/yogi, the disciples usually take a coconut and break it upon the top of the head to open the Brahmarandra and allow the soul to depart. This is done as a rule for siddhas and yogis.
In the case of VaLLimalai SwamigaL, his fore-head opened automatically, ensuring the release of his soul.
