Prana Nadis Yoga Link Explained

There is a lot of information on Nadis, as used Indian philosophy.There is Nadi associated with Patanjali Yoga,Prana,Hatha Yoga,Vaasi Yoga and Shatkarma. It is also mentioned in connection with Nadi Reading in Future prediction.

And all this is connected to Self Realisation.And Prana.Let us try to understand the concept on detail.

Indian philosophy is based on experience and such experiences as are found have led seekers towards Realisation of Brahman,Reality are compiled and presented in the Form of Vedas and also through as systems of philosophy.

Vedas are called as Sabda pramana, Testimony. It is a tool of knowledge. There are many sources of knowledge,Perception, Inference,Comparison,Testimony, Intuition.Of these, Vedas come under Testimony. In life , one has to depend on Testimony of others as a source of knowledge at some point of time. Vedas are such sources that provide you the Testimonies of seekers of Reality. You can follow them if they suit you.It is your choice.

Some prefer other sources of knowledge like Perception and other sources listed above. In experience, one finds one single source of knowledge does not seem to help in Self Realisation . More than one source of knowledge is needed.

All these relate to things that are external. We have our senses through which we come to know, experience. There are five sense organs,Eyes,Ears,Nose,Mouth,Skin. Each of these contribute one aspect of experience.Nose, Smell; Mouth,speech;Taste;Eyes,seeing;Skin, Touch .Ears, hearing.These Five are called Karmendriya, Organs of Action. In addition, we have five Organs of knowledge, corresponding to each Karmendriya.These Five are called Gnanendriyas.I shall devote an article on the difference between Karmendriya and Gnanendriya.

Knowledge Is out of the interaction between the senses and what we find out of ourselves,out in the world. These are known to us through the tools of knowledge like Perception…

How correct, incorrect or How Right or Wrong this knowledge is another matter. That forms a separate topic.

Assume that such knowledge is true. We shall proceed Such knowledge as we gain through the senses and the tools of knowledge we have, of things out there are ‘Is’.

Such knowledge is received by our Brain- Mind – Intellect – Chitha ( it is on a higher plane than Intellect,which we call Buddhi). Brian received sensory inputs and it does not add any judgement to what has been received.It is just like CPU, receives input without starting to process . Mind connects the dots and forms One full picture of Information.Then Intellect decides whether the information is factual : Right or Wrong. That is, Intellect passes Factual,Value judgements. The particular interpretation of same sensory inputs by each one of us differently is decided by Chitha. Chitha is directed by dispositions of individuals and dispositions are, in turn, influenced by Karmic particles,which are the results of actions performed by us,either physically,mentally, and by words. Or by all the three.

These three processes are linked though a single factor. It is called Prana,Life Energy.Prana is the life force running through every cell of our body. It is Life. Difficult to separate one from another so much so both are considered to be the same.

Subtle Boy showing three Nadis A simplified view of the subtle body of Indian philosophy, showing the three major nadis or channels, the Ida (B), Sushumna (C), and Pingala (D), which run vertically in the body.

This Prana is considered to be the Individual Soil. Some philosophers differ on this, especially Adi Shankaracharya.

This Prana flows in the body as Nadis.It is also considered as an attribute of Prana.With this background, let us look at Nadis.

Nadis are generally quantified at 72,000 in Human body. ( Chidambaram Nataraja temple roof had 72000 ‘

The sanctum sanctorum housing the Nataraja statue is called the Chit Sabha or Ponnambalam. The five pillars of the Chit Sabha indicates the five senses. The roof of this Sabha contains 9 kalasas depicting the 9 dwaras (gateways) in the human body (namely 2 eyes, 2 nostrils, 2 ears, mouth, rectum, genitals). The roof has 22600 tiles denoting the number of times a person can breathe in a day. The tiles are fixed to the roof using 72000 nails depicting the number of nadis (
Chidambaram Nataraja temple human body

‘Nadi is an important concept in Hindu philosophy, mentioned and described in the sources, some as much as 3,000 years old. Human body is claimed to have up to hundreds-of-thousands and even millions. The Shiva Samhita treatise on yoga states, for example, that out of 350,000 nadis 14 are particularly important, and among them, the three just mentioned are the three most vital.The three principal nadis are ida, pingala, and sushumna. Ida (इडा, iḍā “comfort”) lies to the left of the spine, whereas pingala (पिङ्गल, piṅgala “orange”, “tawny”, “golden”, “solar”) is to the right side of the spine, mirroring the ida. Sushumna (सुषुम्णा, suṣumṇā “very gracious”, “kind”) runs along the spinal cord in the center, through the seven chakras. When the channels are unblocked by the action of yoga, the energy of kundalini uncoils and rises up the sushumna from the base of the spine.

The nadis play a role in yoga, as many yogic practices, including shatkarmas, mudras and pranayama, are intended to open and unblock the nadis. The ultimate aim of some yogic practices are to direct prana into the sushumna nadi specifically, enabling kundalini to rise, and thus bring about moksha, or liberation.’Source . Wikipedia

How Breath Moves In Nostrils Timings

There are different systems of Yoga, nay it will be proper to say that there are variations in Yoga practices. Essential features like the steps to be followed in Yoga, Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Prathyaahara,Dhyana, Dharana and Samadhi remain the same in all. The first system of Yoga by Siva is Vaasi Yoga, where Consciousness is directly managed while in Patanjal’ s Yoga, Consciousness is managed through Chitta, a higher level than Mind.

Siva is the First Yogi, Adhi Yogi and He practiced Vaasi. His discipline was Thirumoolar, A Siddha.He authotred A Treatise on Saiva Siddhantha, Advaitic thoughts and Yoga. He explains in the Text Thirumandhiram in Tamil about Yogic practices. He mentions about the movement of Breath.

All of us breathe. We breathe through Both nostrils and it is involuntary. Yoga systems of Siddhas, Realized Souls and in Saiva Siddhantha talk about Breath that move through the Nostrils.

The movement of Breath is called Nadi/ tube, pipe, nerve, blood vessel, pulse’) is a term for the channels through which, in traditional Indian medicine and spiritual knowledge, the energies such as prana of the physical body, the subtle body and the causal body are said to flow. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadi_(yoga)

There are over 300,000 Nadis according to SivaYoga Saram , 72,000 according to Thirumoolar , Eighteen Siddhas and Avvaiyaar. Of these 72,000, Thirumoolar marks, 500,10,then to Ten Nadis as primary. Of these ten, three are Ida , Pingala and Sushumna. Inhaling through Left Nostril is called Pooraka, Retention of breath is Kumbaka and exhaling through the Right Nostril is Rechaka.

Though it appears that we breathe through both nostrils, if we observe our Breath, we will notice that quantity of Air/Breath that pass through is not the same for both nostrils, Left and Right. Sometimes, breath passes more through the left nostril and at other times through the right nostril. The Left nostril belongs to / (called as) Moon and Right to Sun. When one holds the Breath, Sushumna, that holding of Breath belongs to or called as Agni, Fire. We shall see in detail in the forthcoming articles.

The Thirumoolar system of Yoga has revealed, explained the times when the Breath moves in the Left Nostril and the right nostril. Each has significant information about our health. It also helps us in curing discomforts, illnesses and diseases.

Movement of Breath.

Binomial Triangle Computer Binary System By Pingala Hinduism

Recently there was a News item that a Scientist has stated that Mythology is to be differntiated from Science and the attempt of the Government to include ‘Pseudo Science’ into Indian Education System.

He was speaking on ‘IIsc debunked Vimanas Theory.

He also observed that ‘the people who say that Hinduism/Vedas have said this before, why do they not say this before the facts are discovered by Science?What they say as facts from the Vedas can not be verified by experiment now”(the quote is not verbatim, i shall get it shortly).

I shall be posting a rebuttal to this shortly.

Be that as it may, let me reproduce something from the Vedic Period on Binomial System and Binary system, that is used for Modern Computing.

Ancient Indians used Mathematics extensively and relied on it so heavily that Indian Logic, Philosophy,Hindu Rituals and the Sanskrit Language have strong Mathematical base.

Meters, called Chandas are used in Prayers, literary works have a strict Mathematical base.

Pingala, younger brother of Panini, the Sanskrit grammarian, has devised Chanda Shastra that deals with these Meters.

He is dated to 2 BC, may be earlier.

Another Legend has it that he is the younger brother of Patanjali, who wrote the Yoga Sutra.

This assigns Pinagala to 4 BC.

Each number in the triangle is the sum of the ... — Each number in the triangle is the sum of the two directly above it. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

”

The Chandaḥśāstra presents the first known description of a binary numeral system in connection with the systematic enumeration of meters with fixed patterns of short and long syllables.The discussion of the combinatorics of meter corresponds to the binomial theorem. Halāyudha’s commentary includes a presentation of the Pascal’s triangle(called meruprastāra). Pingala’s work also contains the Fibonacci numbers, called mātrāmeru.

Use of zero is sometimes mistakenly ascribed to Pingala due to his discussion of binary numbers, usually represented using 0 and 1 in modern discussion, while Pingala used short and long syllables. As Pingala’s system ranks binary patterns starting at one (four short syllables—binary “0000”—is the first pattern), the nth pattern corresponds to the binary representation of n-1, written backwards. Positional use of zero dates from later centuries and would have been known to Halāyudha but not to Pingala.

Formation of Binomial Triangle.Pingala Triangle.

”

The Importance given to 2 by Pingala: Pingala in his rules to Sanskrit prosody has given undue importance to the number 2. Typically, he lays down that, Any power of two throughout divisible by two is equal to two raised to the power of two representing the number of twos the first power is divisible by two�, i.e, 2¹⁶ = ₂2⁴, 2³² = ₂2⁵, 2⁶⁴ = ₂2⁶and so on (VIII.407).

In grouping heavies and lights, Pingala adopts a unique method.

If we take Heavy = H and Light = L, for two syllables, we get the combination, as follows:

1H
1L

There are two combinations.

For 3 syllables, we get,

3 H
2H, 1L
1H, 2L.
3L.

There are four combinations.

For 4 syllables, we get,

4H
3H, 1L
2H, 2L
1H, 3L
4L.

There are eight combinations.

For 5 syllables, we get,

5H
4H, 1L
3H, 2L.
2H, 3L
1H, 4L
5L

There are sixteen combinations.

Thus, this is the formation of Binomial Numbers, Triangle and Series. They are explained as follows:

(a + b)^o = 1

(a + b)¹ = a + b

(a + b)² = a²+ 2ab + b²

(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³

(a + b)⁴ = a⁴ + 4a³b + 6a²b² + 4ab³ + b⁴

(a + b)⁵ = a⁵ + 5a⁴b + 10a³b² + 10a²b³ + 5ab⁴+ b⁵

(a + b)⁶= a⁶ + 6a⁵b + 15a⁴b² + 20a³b³ + 15a²b⁴+ 6ab⁵ + b⁶

(a + b)ⁿ= aⁿ + [n!/1!(n-1)!] a^(n-1)b + [n(n-1)/2!(n-2)!] a^n(n-1)b² + [n(n-1)(n-2)/3!(n-3)!] a^n(n-1)(n-2)b³ + [n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)/4!(n-4)!] a^{n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)}b⁴ +��+ bⁿ

This has been explained in the context of prosody and similar exposition has been made in Vedic literature about the chanting of mantras with time scale. However, the mathematical significance has to be noted here. This Binomial triangle can rightly be called Pingala Triangle and the series Pingala series. Indian mathematicians have identified the series and arranged the numbers in the form of a pyramid, which they called asMeruprasthana and depicted as follows:

The basis of writing numbers can be easily explained:

1. Write one in the first square.		1
2. Draw two squares below, write 1 , 1	1		1
3. Draw three squares, write 1, 1 in the first and last squares.				1	2	1

Add the adjacent numbers of the above row and write intermediate numbers i.e, 1+1=2.

4. 1, 1+2=3, 3+1=3, 1		1		3		3		1
5. 1, 1+3=4, 3+3=6, 3+1+4, 1	1		4		6		4		1

Like, this, the squares can be continued with added numbers. The following Pingala Triangle is formed for 12 layers and it is mentioned as Meru Prasthana in the literature.

Binary system explained.

“0 0 0 0 numerical value = 1

0 1 0 0 numerical value = 3
1 1 0 0 numerical value = 4
0 0 1 0 numerical value = 5
1 0 1 0 numerical value = 6
0 1 1 0 numerical value = 7
1 1 1 0 numerical value = 8
0 0 0 1 numerical value = 9
1 0 0 1 numerical value = 10
0 1 0 1 numerical value = 11
1 1 0 1 numerical value = 12
0 0 1 1 numerical value = 13
1 0 1 1 numerical value = 14
0 1 1 1 numerical value = 15
1 1 1 1 numerical value = 16

Other numbers have also been assigned zero and one combinations likewise.

Pingala’s system of binary numbers starts with number one (and not zero). The numerical value is obtained by adding one to the sum of place values. In this system, the place value increases to the right, as against the modern notation in which it increases towards the left.

The procedure of Pingala system is as follows:

Divide the number by 2. If divisible write 1, otherwise write 0.
If first division yields 1 as remainder, add 1 and divide again by 2. If fully divisible, write 1, otherwise write 0 to the right of first 1.
If first division yields 0 as remainder that is, it is fully divisible, add 1 to the remaining number and divide by 2. If divisible, write 1, otherwise write 0 to the right of first 0.
This procedure is continued until 0 as final remainder is obtained.
Example to understand Pingala System of Binary Numbers :

Find Binary equivalent of 122 in Pingala System :

Divide 122 by 2. Divisible, so write 1 and remainder is 61. 1
Divide 61 by 2. Not Divisible and remainder is 30. So write 0 right to 1. 10
Add 1 to 61 and divide by 2 = 31.
Divide 31 by 2. Not Divisible and remainder is 16. So write 0 to the right. 100
Divide 16 by 2. Divisible and remainder is 8. So write 1 to right. 1001
Divide 8 by 2. Divisible and remainder is 4. So write 1 to right. 10011
Divide 4 by 2. Divisible and remainder is 2. So write 1 to right. 100111
Divide 2 by 2. Divisible. So place 1 to right. 1001111
Now we have 122 equivalent to 1001111.

Verify this by place value system : 1×1 + 0×2 + 0×4 + 1×8 + 1×16 + 1×32 + 1×64 = 64+32+16+8+1 = 121
By adding 1(which we added while dividing 61) to 121 = 122, which is our desired number.
In Pingala system, 122 can be written as 1001111.

Though this system is not exact equivalent of today’s binary system used, it is very much similar with its place value system having 20, 20, 21, 22, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 etc used to multiple binary numbers sequence and obtain equivalent decimal number.

Reference : Chandaḥśāstra (8.24-25) describes above method of obtaining binary equivalent of any decimal number in detail.
These were used 1600 years before westerners/arabs copied binary system from India through trade and invasion.

We now use zero and one (0 and 1) in representing binary numbers, but it is not known if the concept of zero was known to Pingala— as a number without value and as a positional location.Pingala’s work also contains the Fibonacci number, called mātrāmeru, and now known as the Gopala–Hemachandra number. Pingala also knew the special case of the binomial theorem for the index 2, i.e. for (a + b) 2, as did his Greek contemporary Euclid..

Saneeswara Stotra By Dasaratha and More

Hindus believe that the Nine Planets foretell the future.

It is believed that one can appease them by performing Poojas and reciting Mantras,

Sani or Saturn is called Saneswara.

The Correct name is Sanaiswara(Sanaischara), one which moves slowly.

Some other names of Sanaischara) are ,

Shanaishcharaya, Pingala, Bhabru or Roudra. Pingala means bearer of the Trishul, the trident, Mandhan.

In Vedic Astrology, Shiva is said to be represented by Saturn.

<img src="Saneeswara.jpg" alt="Saneeswara" /> — Lord Saneeswara

Saturn, like Shiva, strips away maya, the veil of illusion and separate self. Saturn takes aim at the imprinting we have experienced around separation

consciousness.

Sani is the brother of Yama , the God of Death and Righteousness.

Sani’s wives names are Mandhi Devi and Jyeshta Devi.

His sons are Mandhi and Kuligan.

It is wrongly believed that Sani indicates troubles.

He is a Man of Gnana, like Ketu.

He tests one with adversity and one who has the mental strength emerges stronger.

I believe that the Navagrahas do not by themselves cause prosperity or Adversity.

They are like Traffic signals.

Like a Traffic Signal they indicate the directions your life might take, based on your actions. past and present, Karma Phala.

As such one has to withstand the pressures exerted by the Planets.

On this concept, the Vishnu Sahasranama has an excellent sloka.

It calls Lord Vishnu as,

‘Dhukka bhukh, Dhukka Saadhana:’

Vishnu is the repository of Dhukka, adversity , but,

He is also the One who grants you the strength, tools to overcome the trials and tribulations.

Hinduism is the only Religion which dares to call God as the repository of Adversity!

As such one can not escape the results of one’s actions .

What can be done is to pray the Navagrahas and God to grant the strength to overcome the difficulties.

Here are some Stotras on Saneeswara.

Rare , effective ‘Dasaratha’s Sanieeswara Stotra.

Saturn enters the star constellation (or nakshatra) – called Rohini once in every 30 years.

This is one of the most dreaded transits of the kings and their kingdoms.

The scriptures say “Kings will die and kingdoms will fall when Shani enters Rohini”.

It is said that during the reign of King Dasaratha when Shani was about to enter Rohini nakshatra, King Dasaratha worshipped Shani.

Pleased with the King’s prayers, Saturn did not enter Rohini during the reign of King Dasaratha.

Hence the Dasaratha Shani Stotras are considered an excellent remedy for Saturn related troubles.
