Continuation:Kundalini, Sadhana, Austerities, Physiology of the Spiritual A

[Guest guest]

Dear and Respected Narasimha-Ji, and learned members,

 

I wanted to add, just in case, the book I have mentioned in the

previous post; "Human Physiology, Expression of Veda and the Vedic

Literature" (*) also has material relating to Jyotish, e.g.

Correspondance between Bhavas, Grahas, Rashis, Nakshatras and the

human physiology as well as some parallel references to certain

parts of the Vedic Literature. This material does not relate to

anything "predictive" but to my view has notable academic importance

for those interested in related areas, for a wholistic view of these

matters. It is a concrete and practical expression of the

phrase; "The God is within you".

 

After all I guess it is important to have an idea about, when one

does Japa or prayer for a specific Graha or Devata to know what part

of the physiology will be affected. The avataras of Vishnu etc. are

all there. Not that the text is a handbook on such matters

(propitiation), but is unique in what it covers. Also will be of

interest to members is material describing, interpreting and

relating specific features of Devata as depicted in the Vedic

Literature.

 

Best regards, Sabri.

Kundalini rise are nerves in the gross physical body. The 72000

nadis mentioned in the classics are not necessarily physical nerves

of the gross body. Some of them may have corresponding nerves in the

gross body, but most of those nadis are channels in the "subtle

body" (sookshma sareera). Subtle body is made up only of ether, air

and fire and has no water and earth. It lives inside this gross

physical body (sthoola sareera), which is made up of all the five

elements. The subtle body has a lot of channels that are made of

air, ether and fire. Life force flows thru these channels and it

interacts with and controls the gross body.

These are not all necessarily nerves of the gross body.

can be perceived by one. Just because it is related to the subtle

body, it is not something abstract. When praana moves through

various nadis of the subtle body, one can feel it. Subtle body is

not made of only ether - air and fire are also there! Moreover,

praana flow in various nadis of the subtle body does result in

various associated activities in the gross physical body.
