Guest guest Posted July 4, 2002 Report Share Posted July 4, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “It should be remembered that Prana is only one. But depending upon its different positions and actions in the body, it is called by five different names. When it is in the heart, it is called Prana. This brings about vital functions like breathing. When it is in the lower abdomen, it is called Samana. It brings about digestion and metabolism. When it is in the upper thorax, it is called Udana. It causes production of sound. That which pervades the entire body is called Vyana. It causes the Naadis (channels) to pulsate and is responsible for all actions in the body. The Prana, which has these five subdivisions, comes from the combination of Rajas aspects of the five subtle elements.” Sri Swamiji Lessons in Vedanta - 18 part VI Sri Guru Datta, Swamiji Says ___ Supercharge your e-mail with a 25MB Inbox, POP3 Access, No Ads and NoTaglines --> LYCOS MAIL PLUS. http://www.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
