6. Yoga : Pranayama and its introduction

Hi, those who are very new to this site please read from first post.

In the last post we discussed about the organs of yoga and know we are going to discuss about Pranayama.


Pranayama:

Prana means life and ayama means stopping business. It is an ancient Sanskrit word.
Pranayama means stopping life in body. You control your breath that is pranayama. If somebody thinks that life means breath it is wrong.

So we go for some brief discussion about what is life.

God first created sky. All the things, materials came from sky. Sky contains stars, planets, comets; etc. Sky has the gases, solids and liquids. Sky is human body, animal body and the trees. What ever you are seeing in his universe made from the sky.

So from what energy this sky converting as a universe that is life energy. This universe belongs to life. And this universe runs by life. So if you control life you will control this universe and the sky.

Now I am back to my main subject.

If you angry or excited you will take fast breath. If you are sleeping you will take slow breath. Here you observe that in rest your breath is slow and gap between one breath and the other breath is wide.
What you must observe here if you increase the gap between breaths you will feel more relief and rest.
If gap between the breaths at a perfect way that is called pranayama.

You rub one steel rod with a magnate from one end to another end. All the atoms in that steel rod forms in a way then that steel rod acts like magnate. In the same way if you form atoms of your body in a perfect way you will become a real magnate .i.e.; attractive and intelligent. In your case magnate is air and steel rod is your body. If you form your body atoms in a way by using air that is pranayama stopping life in body.
If you are become intelligent money automatically follows you.

In yogic language spinal card has two nerves.
Left part of the spinal card is called as Eeda nerve.
Right part of the spinal card is called as Pingala nerve.
Stream between these two nerves is called as Sushumana.
Upper part of this sushumana closes at head called as Sahasra.

Bottom part of this sushumana closes at a triangular shaped sensitive nerves area. This Triangular shaped part is called as Kundalini.

Please learn carefully all the above terms it is very impartment in yoga.

At which stage a person knows that he is also one of the nature, that person is sitting very near to God.

In the next post we will go for how to do Pranayama.
