Prana or vitality, is the common function of the
mind and all the senses, both sensory (Jnanendriya) and
nutor(Karmendriya), which result in the bodily motion-
life is resultant of the various concurrent activities
of other principles or forces in the organism (woodraffe,
1972,p.36).
Swami Vivekananda has discussed elaborately on the
subject Prana in his book Raja Yoga (1976). He says, out
of this Prana is evolved everything that we call energy,
everything that we call force. It is the Prana that is
manifesting as motion; it is the force that is manifesting
as motion; it is the Prana that is manifesting as the
actions of the body, as the nerve currents, as throught
force. From thought down to the lowest force, everything
is but the manifestation of Prana (p.34). The knowledge
and the control of this Prana is really what is meant by
Pranayama (p.35). The little wave of the Prana which represents
our own energies, mental and physical, is the nearest to
us all the waves of the infinite ocean of Prana. If we
succeed in controlling that little wave, then alone we
can hope to control the whole of Prana (p.37). The Prana
is the vital force in every being. Thought is the finest
and highest action of Prana (p.37). All manipulations of
the subtle forces of the body, the different manifestations
of Prana, if trained, give push to the mind, help it to
go higher and become superconsciousness from where it
acts (p.38).
