Salif CoulibalyIndeed "also", and there are certainly other definitions of the term Prana, literally, philosophically, and even conceptually speaking. However, personally and experientially defining the term prana of "as a force that would apply itself somehow to the breathing apparatus" doesn't ring a bell.Again, initially, for all practical intended purposes of yoga practice from my perspective, prana is also a medium (albeit universal...) that must be used in conjunction with its subtle counterpart apana which, when defined by the same criteria or under the same circumstances is from what would be the opposite of oxygen. Pranayama, therefore, implies a bipolar charging of the base chakra/ subtle energy vortex, even though the efforts are geared towards positively charging and raising kundalini/ life force energy. This, of course, is stated strictly from the standpoint of the actual practice of mystic yoga whatever the lineage or so said tradition(s).
Raj Kumar DhamThanks Kamal Malhi , breath is the medium or means for receiving the air ( vayu)prana .What we eat and drink is means for taking the Anna ( food) . Therefore what we eat and what and how we breathe is very important.
Sharad P. Excellent Discussion....
