Sadhguru Explain The 5 Basic Forms Of Prana In this video Sadhguru talked about the five basic forms of prana and its functions ...
In yoga we call this prana. It
manifests itself in five basic dimensions. There are other forms to it,
which gets too complicated.Five basic forms. These are called: Prana Vayu, Apana Vayu, Samana Vayu, Udana Vayu and Vyana Vayu. These have different functions. Prana related to breathe, respiratory action and thought process. If the Prana Vayu depletes, your respiratory action will go a way. So,
immediately doctor checks and says: Is that they'll try to pump their chest, if
he doesn't come, back he's dead Respiration and your pulmonary action
are very directly connected, once the respiration stops that process will naturally come to an end. So Prana Vayu is gone it's not like one
after another, they will go they, will go at the same time but, Onec goes means:THIS IS GONE! If Samana Vayu goes, this is in charge of
generating heat in the system. So, once Samana Vayu starts receiving; the
body starts getting cold and it also starts becoming still. Once Apana Vayu
starts receding in a major way Then... The sensory aspect of it we must understand
this, you may check somebody's breath and declare them dead. But they can still feel sensation. There are many number of cases where people get
terrified because a dead body moves a little bit. This has happened again and
again, many many times. That... When... He`s been medically declared dead, there are
twitchings in the body that happened in a very mile away, because the sensory activity is still on... Still... Life is not fully convinced, that it's finished, it is
still making an effort of its own. When Udana Vayu goes
away, then the buoyancy is gone. When I say buoyancy, see you may weigh 70
or 80 or whatever number of, I`M SORRY! Maybe you weight 50 or 55 Kilograms... Whatever is your weight, You don`t, let's say you're very happy in the life
right now, you don't feel 50 kilograms on you, isn't it? <<<HELLO>>> Yeash... It Is There! If you stand on the
scale, it is there. But when you walk, it is not there simply because this Udana [Vayu] creates a buoyancy. It makes you less available to gravity. There are yogic practices to activate this. There's a whole school of Udana [Vayu] in
China. Where you might have seen those movies, Hollywood movies or that Crouching Tiger or something, something So these are Udan schools where they have mass your Udana [Vayu], where they can float around a little bit. Well little exaggerated in the movies. But... becomes lighter, more buoyant body,
for a martial arts fighter to be buoyant is important. There have been many cases
where certain ballet dancers and martial arts experts have shown, what is
physically not possible they have done by leaping up to Heights which all
physics believe is simply impossible. But they've gone beyond that level simply by
creating more buoyancy. So, Udana is instead of buoyancy. Once Udana
starts receding suddenly body becomes heavier. Always it was the same weight. Weight does not increase, But you can feel the weight much more simply because
Udana is gone. This... Doctor maybe doctors don't do it.The people who
work in the hospital's manner, carrying a live person and a dead person
there's a big difference, simply because Udana is gone. There is buoyant. There is no buoyancy. The forth dimension is called: VYANA [Vayu]. This is preservative in nature. If Vyana recedes even when you're alive, body will begin
to rot. There are certain types of snake venoms,
which can do this. If they bits you, you will not die but literally parts of the
body will start falling apart simply because Vyana will recedes and it
will start falling apart. SO... Once Vyana receives the rotting process will begin. There are systems in yoga where we want
all the seven to go reasonably together within one and a half hours we want it to go. In normal depth, depending upon the age of a person how vibrant a particular
bodies is, it may take a long time. When I say a long time up to 14 hours it may take. Vyana may take up to 14 days... to leave. This is the reasons why in this culture you have ritual running up to 14 days, because they feel the Vyana may
be still there because when you bury a person the Vyana may be still powering
there. So up to 14 days, that is the reason why within one and a half hours in this in this culture that was the rule. If somebody dies within an hour and
a half you must cremate them. But then mistakes happened when they were still
alive, somebody put them on the funeral pyre. So, they stretched it to four hours
within four hours you must create cremate But today there are issues all
kinds of issues about it. So people are waiting for one day, two days, daughter is
in America she has to come she'll come after three days, and they will wait. But
the idea is for the one who is dead, we must understand this; you are do, you don't diagnose people as that you declare them dead, right? there's a difference. So when you declare them dead; for you
they're dead, as far as that person is concerned in a
way, all that's happened is... He`s disembodied. He's lost his body. All his
life he lived thinking he's a body, never realizing, the physical mass that we
carried an accumulation from this planet he never realized that when suddenly he
slips out the body, he tends to hover around the body because he's lost his
discriminatory intelligence. Once you leave the body, the discriminatory
intellect is not there. So this tends to hover around that body. So, in this culture we said, The moment we sure that somebody is dead for sure you must
immediately cremate them. Because it`s good for that dead. So they know the game
is up and it's also good for the living. You will see, if somebody very dear to
you is dead and their body is here. You keep on hallucinating, maybe they're just
sleeping, maybe they will sit up, maybe some miracle will happen maybe something
else will happen you know this will go on initially you will see people are
crying and big emotional drama is happening but the moment you cremate
them you will see everybody becomes silent. Have you noticed this always
because now everybody knows the game is up. It's for the living and for the dead.
So about life leaving the system. It is so entrenched. It is not something pop it
will go away like this, it stages, it goes away. Because it's in stages it came in,
it's in stages it'll go away. #.Vayu Area of Body Function
