Where Is Life Located In Humans,Thirumandhiram

Prana ,as described in Hinduism , is the Life Force that flows and pervades the Body. If Life becomes extinct, all parts of the body too go? Is Life located in some place in the body? Is it in Sahasrara Chakra, the center between the two eyebrows on the forehead? Or is in the Navel?Or is it in the Heart? Ramana Maharshi used to say that psychological heart is on the right side, not on the location of the physical heart, saying that when one wants to say something by touching the heart or swears the Truth, unconsciously he touches the right side of the chest!

No Sandhyavandan Procedure In The Vedas ?

I replied that, to the best o my knowledge that the procedure for Sraddha is laid down in the Smritis and that I do not ind a reference to it in the Veda.

While making this comment I made a remark that I was not sure whether Sandyavandana procedure was mentioned in the Vedas.

I received a feedback that Vedas and Upanishad do mention Sandhyavandana.

I have been able to locate the reference, which I reproduce......

Even this does not constitute a procedure for performing Sandhyavandana.

I am yet to check the Aranyakas.

References to worship of the Sun is mentioned, no procedures to be followed are set.

Inputs clarifications welcome
