This book by swami Ramdev ji provides us with the marvelous benefits that Pranayama has in our body. It also brings us the clear picture of what pranayam is, how is it performed and who can perform it and what are the disease that can be easily cured by simply regularly practicing pranayam and help you sustain a healthy and very prosperous life. Yogic breathing or pranayam is said to be the fourth limb of stage of yoga that comes after asanas or postures. Prana has several meanings as breath, respiration, life, vitality, wind, energy and strength while yama is restraint or discipline. The control of prana leads to the control of mind which is vital for concentration and meditation which is the next step in yoga. But yogis also recognized this as a way to refresh and rejuvenate all the body systems.
This book by swami ji also brings forward the not much talked and not much known aspect of pranayam. This is also explained in the philosophical point of view how the Prana or the life giving air that we take in is necessary and can change our lives forever if controlled properly. This book also explains that how you can attain complete spirituality by simply practicing Pranayama. This book also throws light on the aspect as of our origin how and what are the various types of prana vayu’ s our present in our body how they work for the well being of our system, and how when they are displaced form their original position they would produce diseases both acute as well as chronic. This also explains how when life is produced the prana begins to enter in the system and when one dies how the prana are moved out off the body and no matter how much of air or prana is pushed in the person shall never regain life. It even explains as it is said in Vedas that all the living forms have their pranas or breathing air counted and we shall have only that much of in our lifetime not less. Therefore this book also touches the more philosophical grounds that are not touched and also explains them properly in simple language so that an ordinary person can easily understand the importance of prana.
In yoga breath or pranayam air we breathe is used to direct the flow of prana in the body. And as the blood circulates through the whole body it carries prana in it all over the body. So breathing is life since it is the most vital function of our body. Similarly in yoga too breathing has a great importance since yogic asanas or postures are mainly performed in accordance with breathing. Almost all yogic postures involve breathing control stimulating activities in body. Even in ayurveda the importance of breathes has been defined saying the life force is only possible due to the breaths. Full yogic breath is the basic building block for powerful yoga breathing also referred to as pranayam in Sanskrit. The benefits of yoga breathing or pranayam are as follows:
