Importance of Pranayama (Hatha Pradipika II:2)
चले वाते चल ं�च�त ं�न�चले �न�चल ंभवेत ्। योगी �थाणु�वमा�नो�त ततो वायु ं�नरोधयेत ्॥
chale vāte chalaṃ chittaṃ niśchale niśchalaṃ bhavet yogī sthāṇutvamāpnoti tato vāyuṃ nirodhayet
When respiration is disturbed, the mind gets disturbed. When breath is steady and undisturbed, mind is also steady and undisturbed. By consciously controlling respiration, the Yogi attains steadiness of mind.
![Page 12: Power of Pranayama talk by Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021419/5878c3ef1a28ab26728b59cb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Importance of Pranayama (Hatha Pradipika IV:29)
इि��याणां मनो नाथो मनोनाथ�तु मा�तः ।
मा�त�य लयो नाथः स लयो नादमा��तः ॥
indriyāṇāṃ mano nātho manonāthastu mārutaḥ mārutasya layo nāthaḥ sa layo nādamāśritaḥ
Mind is the master of the senses, while the breath is its Lord. Mastery of the breath lies in its absorption that depends on conscious vibrations induced during smooth, steady inhalation and exhalation.
![Page 13: Power of Pranayama talk by Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021419/5878c3ef1a28ab26728b59cb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Importance of Pranayama (Hatha Pradipika II:16)
�ाणायामेन यु�तेन सव�रोग�यो भवेत ्।
अयु�ता�यासयोगेन सव�रोगसमु�घमः॥
prāṇāyāmena yuktena sarvarogakṣayo bhavet ayuktābhyāsayogena sarvarogasamudghamaḥ
When practices like Pranayama are performed properly, they can eradicate all diseases; but improper practice can otherwise generate diseases.

Uni-nostril & alternate nostril Pranayama techniques have captured imagination of researchers world wide. Recent studies have reported differential physiological and psychological effects including :
– O2 consumption, – metabolism and body weight, – blood glucose, – involuntary blink rates and intraocular pressure, – heart rate and heart rate variability, – stroke volume and end diastolic volume – galvanic skin resistance, – digit pulse volume, and blood pressure .
