Guest guest Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Dear Swee, Thanks for your quick & detailed response. There seems to be a slight mixup in the order which you mentioned.I am giving the order which is the generally accepted one in Mudras: The thumb represents Agni -CORRECT Index finger -AKASH-GURU Middle finger - VAYU - SHANI Ring Finger - JALA - SURYA Little finger - BHUMI-BUDHA As you can see that all the fingers correspond to the mounts under them & the elements of the respective planets (like Budha has the Tattwa of Bhumi etc).The only confusion is in the ring finger which is the finger of the Sun (where we wear the ruby) but as per Mudra Vigyan this is supposed to rule Jala Tattwa,hence my question Regarding Gyan Mudra it is the linking of the index finger which rules Akash Tatwa with the thumb this increases DHI SHAKTI & is also helpful in controlling the ego I will continue if you are interested in more info on Mudras Regards, aavesh -- In , " Swee Chan " <swee@c...> wrote: > Jaya Jagannatha > > Dear Aavesh, > Namaste > > I am giving you what I have learnt and it is a recollection from many years, > so please bear with me :-) > The thumb represents Agni - Sun > Index finger - Vayu - Saturn > Middle finger - Akaash - Jupiter > Ring Finger - Bhumi - Mars > Little finger - Jala - Venus > > For meditation, connect Agni with Vayu - simply touch the tip of the Thumb > with the tip of the Index finger.
