Guest guest Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 swamye sharanam Ayyappa when i was goin through a site i found this information regarding " CHINMUDRA " . I thought it helps in known more about Lord Ayyappa n his Yoga Mudra. I am also attachin the link here. http://www.hathayoga.co.za/mudras.htm Chin Mudra This gesture symbolises the connected nature of human consciousness. The circle formed by the index finger and thumb represents the true goal of yoga – the merging of the individual soul with the universal soul, or the soul of God. The nail of the index finger is placed into the first joint of the thumb. The last three fingers always face down towards the earth in this mudra. It is a gesture of receiving. When the finger touches the thumb a circuit is produced which allows the energy that would normally dissipate into the environment to travel back into the body, and up to the brain. When the fingers and hands are placed on the knees the knees are sensitised creating another pranic circuit that maintains and redirects prana within the body. In addition placing the hands on the knees stimulates a nadi, which runs from the knees up the inside of the thighs and into the perinium. Sensitising this channel helps stimulate the energies at the muladhara chakra. When the palms face upwards in the chin mudra the chest and heart area are opened up.
