Nadi

The Sanskrit term Nadi refers to tubular organs of the astral body through which the vital force known as Prana flows. Nadis originate from the Kanda, located above the Muladhara Chakra, and the body contains thousands of Nadis that carry Prana. The principal Nadis are Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna, with Sushumna passing through the spine and Ida and Pingala on either side. The subtle yoga Nadis have influence over the physical body and their operation is closely related.

Nadi

The Sanskrit term Nadi comes from the root Nad wich means "motion".

It is a tubular organ of the astral body trough wich the Prana

(vital force) flows.

It consists of three layer, one inside the other. The innermost is

called Sira, the middle layer Damani, the outer Nadi, like the

entire organ.

All the Nadis spring from the Kanda, this is just above the

Muladhara Chakra. It is in the juntion where Sushumna Nadi is

connected with the Muladhara Chakra . Kanda-Mula, in shape like a

bird's egg, is a center of astral body, the root from where all the

Nadis spring and carry the Prana.

The body is filled with innumerables Nadis, that cannot to be

counted. Nadis are said to be from 72,000 to 3,50,000.

Of these the principal ones are 14:

Sushumna

Ida

Pingala

Gandhari

Hastajihva

Kuhu

Saraswati

Pusha

Sankini
Payaswini

Varuni

Alambusha

Vishovodhra

Yasasvini

Among these the Ida, Pingala and Sushumna are the principal.

Sushumna is the highest.

Sushumna Nadi passes trough the hollow cylindrical cavity of the

vertebral column, Ida is on the left side and Pingala on the right

side. They represent Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon) and Agni(Fire).

"The subtle lines, Yoga Nadis, have influece in the physical body.

All the subtle (Sukshuma) Prana-Nadis and Chakra have gross

manifestation and operation in the physical body. The gross nerves

and plexus have close relationship with the subtle ones.You should

understand this point very well. Since the physical centres have

close relationshi with the astral centres, the vibrations that are

produced in the phisical centres by prescribed methods, have desired

effects in the astral centres."

(Sri Swami Sivananda)
