Question III
Kausalya : "Master, from what source does this Prana come from?"
Sage Pippalada :
"Prana is born of Self
As a man casts a shadow, the Self casts Prana into the Body,at the time of birth, so that the mind's desires are fulfilled.
As a king appoints officers to do his work in the villages,So Prana works with four other Pranas
to carry out the different functions of the Body!"
5 Types of Pranas:
1. Prana : Dwells in eye, ear,nose,mouth - represents Sun - light to the Eyes
2. Apana: Downward Force : Organs of Sex and Excretion - Earth - Draws the lower force
3. Samana : Equaling force in middle : Digests food, Kindles 7 Fires - Space -
4. Vyana: Distributor of Energy : Radiates from Heart - moves through myriad vital currents - Moving Air
5. Udana : Leads ladder of evolution : Selfless : Up; Selfish : Down - Fire- When fire goes out -Senses are drawn back into mind and person is ready for rebirth
