TERMINAL QUESTIONS

1. Describe the Physiology of Hatha Yog.

Ans: The word Hatha is made up of two Sanskrit roots, ha and tha. Ha means ‘sun’ and Tha means ‘moon’. This is symbolic of the twin energy forces which exist in everything. Pran energy or vitality is dynamic and active. This is bodily energy or gross energy. The moon is the mental energy of chitta. It is the subtle force which is related with the mental layers. The two create the extremities of introversion and extroversion.

In the body there are specific path ways for channelizing these two forces. Just as in an electrical circuit you have suitable wires for the conduction of positive-negative electrical energy currents, similarly there are energy channels within the structure of the body. These are known as nadis.

If these two separates flowing energies, prana and chitta are unified, it creates a suitable atmosphere for kundalini or spiritual energy, to awaken and ascend through the middle passage, sushumna nadi. The awakening of kundalini is the subject matter of Hatha Yog.
