| contents | <div>Prāṇāyāma, a fundamental aspect of Haṭha Yoga, involves the regulation and expansion of the vital force. The Yoga Upaniṣads provide extensive discussions on various yogic concepts, including Brahmavidyā, Prāṇa, Yoga-aṅgas, and Samādhi. Among these, thirteen of the twenty Yoga Upaniṣads specifically elaborate on the general features, procedural aspects, nāḍīs, vāyus, types, techniques, and outcomes of Prāṇāyāma. This study aims to systematically review these aspects by analyzing the relevant Yoga Upaniṣads. The original Sanskrit verses were translated into English to ensure a precise and unambiguous interpretation of the concept of Prāṇāyāma. According to most of these texts, one should commence the practice of Prāṇāyāma only after mastering Yamas, Niyamas, Āsanas, and completing the purification of nāḍīs. The study systematically arranges and presents the various aspects of Prāṇāyāma as outlined in the texts. The Triśikhī-Brāhmaṇa, Darśana, Yoga-Cūḍāmaṇi, Yoga-Tattva, and Śāṇḍilya Upaniṣads offer detailed explanations on prerequisites, nāḍī purification, physiological indications during practice, frequency, types of Kumbhakas, and benefits of Prāṇāyāma. In contrast, the remaining eight Upaniṣads provide a more concise discussion on the concept.</div> <div> </div> |
