“Vedic Prana Yoga” Or “Respiration

Awareness Yoga”= RAY =

VPY = Vedic Prana Yoga or RAY = Respiration

Awareness YogaAny Subject, Object, Thought, Action or

Practice related to “Veda” is Vedic.What is ‘Veda’ then? ‘Vid ’= to know, to experience and to realize

a Truth of Life, as Seers-Scientists are Aware of.

‘Veda ’ = An intuitively realized truth. Veda especially also refers to ‘The four volumes of Vedas’, the earliest scriptures on earth.

‘Vedic’ = All actions and Practices adhered to with thoughts, depending on such spiritedly realized and practiced truths in Awareness.

Vedic, spelt as per the original Skt. Word has to be ‘VAIDIC’; And, it includes “Vision, Awareness, Intuition,

Divinity, Insight, Conscience’.

What is Prana?Vedic seers visualized the hidden forces

functioning in nature to support and sustain all life existing on our planet.

They termed the source of all these forces as Prana. This word thus, denotes both, 1. the ‘Individual Life Force’ in every living organism”, and 2. “the cosmic source of life or ‘Universal Life Power’ generated by the Creator for sustaining His creation”.

We may safely define that, Prana is the key-Force, ‘Respiration’ * in our Nerves & cells that activates and synchronizes all systems and different zones of the body.

What is Yoga?Yuj = Unify, unite, contemplate, meditate,

join, connect etc.{What? And How do you look at Yoga?}

Yoga = That path which accomplishes the Unification of various aspects of our life.

It is in no way simply a Physical Work-out!Yoga has to be a ‘Harmonious Art of

Living’, a Holistically healthy Life ever in Bliss, the Inherent and Real Happiness.

Thus, ‘Vedic Prana Yoga’ may be seen as “Respiration Awareness Yoga” or RAY.

RAY = Respiration Awareness Yoga

in Chakra-s = Pranic Energy CentersRAY cleanses purifies and nourishes our 3

bodies, (Shareera-s), 3 humours, (Ayurvedic Dosha-s), 5 Life-Functions (Prana-s), 5 Physical elements, (Pancha-Mahaanhoota-s) and their qualities, (Guna-s), 5+5 organs of action & sensing, (the 10 karma & Jnaana-Indriya-s), 8 Centres, Chakra-s, 9 gates (Dvaara-s); and opens up the 10th gate to connect us with the 8th Chakra, the less told Guru Chakra of the Universal Divine Force.

Cleansing of the 3 BodiesGross or ‘sthoola’ Body, made up of Anna:

Through outer and inner Physical movements of limbs or Kriya-s, i.e., Asana-s, Mudra-s and Bandha-s etc., the qualities of Fire, Water and Earth, which form our Pitta and Kapha in the body.

Subtle or ‘sookshma’ Body of Prana: Through Respiration and sensation or Spanda, the quality of Air or Vaata, another subtle element of our body.

Causal or ‘KaaraNa’ Body, made up of 4 Antah-KaraNa-s, the Mind, Memory, Intellect, Ego: Through Sound or Naada, the quality of Space, Akaasha, the subtle-most element in Subtle body.

Yoga: a Journey to Own Self!In our Existential Reality, let’s move Inwards!

• Is my Body Comfortably Stable? No strain or tension in any limb! My Spine is straight-up! I’ve done due physical work-out? To unify my Total Self, I’ll move in through my body only!

• Am I breathing fine? Any obstruction in free flow of my respiration? Nose is clear. Whole of the Breathing passage has no blockages.

• My Mind isn’t wavering! Any emotional stress? Any unfinished job needs my prior attention? My Mind is focused on my own self?

What is Pranic?As is clear, Prana is invisible, subtle and non-

tangible. How can it be operated manually?Yes! We can, by all means, feel it through our

sixth sense, our Mind. That is why Yogis did develop many ‘Pranic Practices’ mainly for:

Cleansing: by Exhaling, Holding-out Breath with Gestures (Mudra-s) in Palms & Body

Balancing: by Breathing through both sides of Nose with proper Palm-Gestures, Appropriate, Exact, Whole, Complementary, in All Aspects.

Nourishing: by Inhaling, Breath-Holding in with Palm-Body Gestures in Asana-s

Natural Clear ‘Hum-Sohum’ Sound in Relaxed

Respiration Breathe deeply, but in a

naturally elongated way. Maximize Inhale, and

try to Exhale still more. Let Respiration make a

hiss-humming Humm-Sohum sound at your throat as it does in sleep.

It is complementary to each Practice. And, use any time to Relax & heal.

Begin with the Use of Dhyana-

Mudraa

AUMOή-

KAARA

Inhale full breath first. Chant nasal ‘O’, sweet and loud as a single Cosmic sound of ‘Oή-Kaara’. It combines the 3 Vowel Sounds of 3 letters ‘A-U-M’ of Sanskrit alphabet. Two Gestures are suggested:1. Inner edges of palms close Ears; tips of fingers & thumbs press 5 back-neck-points.2. ‘Namo-Mudra’, fingers and thumbs of both palms placed on chest face each other.{Use 1st to commence, and 2nd to finish the Practices}

“Disease (is) not an entity, but a fluctuating condition of the patient’s body, a battle

between substance of disease and the natural self-healing tendency of the body.”

of testing,… one often completely forgets such an everyday experience; and says: “Let’s assume that all individuals in the sample are identical”.
