Marut

Pranamaya Kosh, Pranayam, Pranayama

What is shown in Bahubali by the lead actor is unbelievable for our generation. It is just another fantasy movie for majority.

“Is it possible in real? I mean, is it really possible to fight against the mighty bull? Riding running flock of bulls? ” Asks my teen age nephew.

I replied: ”

Do you want to experience?

Try this under the observation of trained yogacharya:

कुम्भक or Voluntary cessation of breath is prescribed for tasks where strength (बल is a real word. Strength is poor translation) application is required.

During the day, remember to bring your attention to your breath. Fill your jar completely and experience this feeling. Then empty your pot fully and stay tapped in.

Learn and excel Pranayama.”

*** Do it under strict supervision and guidance of Guru. Don’t do it under mass hysteria. It can work against the health.


अतो यान्यन्यानि वीर्यवन्ति कर्माणि यथाग्नेर्मन्थनमाजेः सरणं दृढस्य धनुष आयमनमप्राणन्ननपानँस्तानि करोत्येतस्य हेतोर्व्यानमेवोद्गीथमुपासीत ॥ ५ ॥

छान्दोग्योपनिषद्

And other works also which require strength, such as the kindling of fire by rubbing, running a race and stringing a strong bow, are performed without breathing out or breathing in. Therefore one should meditate on the Udgitha as the vyana.

कुम्भक or Voluntary cessation of breath is prescribed for tasks where strength (बल is a real word. Strength is poor translation) application is required.

So when you are working for earning, you use either your mental बल or physical बल. Practice कुम्भक and see how your efficiency increases.
