Inner vital forces
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Pranayama is a method of harnessing energy. Inner Vital Forces;
"Prana means breath and Ayama means control.
By Pranayama is meant the control of Prana and the vital forces of the body.
Pranayama begins with the regulation of breath and ends in establishing full and perfect control over the life-currents or inner vital forces.
In other words, Pranayama is the perfect control of the life-currents through regulation of breath.
Breath like electricity is gross Prana.
By establishing control over the gross Prana, you can easily gain control over the subtle Prana inside.
The process by which such control is established is called Pranayama." - Swami Sivananda.
