Synopsis

This book explores the historical context and cultural significance of a series of vital breaths, known as the 'Prana-series' within ancient Hindu philosophy and practice, chiefly by examining early sacred Hindu texts. It presents an in-depth analysis of each breath's functions and symbolism within the broader framework of the ancient Indian conception of the relationship between the human body, the divine, and the cosmos. Through a detailed examination of the key sources, the author offers a comprehensive understanding of the role of the Prana-series in ancient Hindu thought and its enduring influence on Indian philosophy and religious practices.
