This 7,200th post reminded me of the 72,000 nadis in the human body. This topic comes up in one of out next newsletters, so I thought I would post an excerpt on the topic. This week our newsletter will contain an article by a guest writer, Sri Atmatattva Das, and the topic is "Ayur-veda-vedanta - The vedanta of the Ayurveda". Here is a small excerpt from that article dealing with the 72,000 nadis:

 

The life airs of the body flow through certain channels known as “nadis”. The term nadi comes from the root word “nad” which means movement. These are different from nerves, veins or any other pathways which are known to medical sciences.

 

It is the number of configuration of these nadis that makes the petals of the Chakra-flowers.

 

Each of the petals is manifested from a syllable of sound, called “varna” representing the superior control (adhi-daiva) or the deity at that Chakra.

 

These varnas are fifty in total, and they are the seed – letters (bija-aksharas) of all that is there in Mantra or Speech.
