SCIENTIFIC INTERPRETATION OF PRANAYAMA
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda & Alternative Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Various concepts occur around the words ‘Prana’ and ‘Pranayama’ in different ancient and mediaeval Sanskrit texts. The lure of Yoga is irresistible and Yoga is gaining much recognition and appreciation among the educated and civilized people in almost all countries of the world. Though the Yogic terms like Asana, Pranayama, Kundalini, Dhyana etc are being widely used, yet only a few sincere practitioners of yoga show their real inquisitiveness to comprehend the technical meaning and underlying practical aspects of these important terms like Prana, Pranayama, Chitta and Kriya yoga etc. The knowledge related to Prana and Pranayama mentioned in the ancient texts of Yoga is sometimes clothed in obscure and mystical language. Hence an attempt is made to throw a light on concepts of Prana and Pranayama.
