The Amazing Potentials of Pranic Energy 

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

At a superficial level blood appears to be the principal regulator of the activities of the body and the internal body functions. If we look a little deeper at physiological, cellular and molecular levels, we find that the enormous functions of the body are run with the help of a specific bio-electrical energy, which is generated in the brain and supplied to all the parts and organs of the body through a fine network of nerves. This source of energy is as vital for the sustenance of the vivid activities of the body as the dynamo-battery for a motor. Under this analogy, blood is like petrol and bioelectricity is like the electrical energy of the motor (of the body system). 

A continuous supply and distribution of both together advance the flow of life. The body-electricity is different from the electricity that we see being used around us in a variety of domestic machines and technological gadgets. The bio-electricity flowing in the brain and the entire body, which makes the uncountable physiological and bio-chemical and physical functions possible, is a manifestation of pranic energy. The prana1 indwelling in our body is a fraction of the eternal, cosmic prana. 

The active presence of this pranic energy in the body could be enhanced by mental and vital strength. Focused willpower and determined efforts enable outstanding performance of sportsmen, wonders of skilled talents, adventurous expeditions, etc. In a similar way, adept yoga-sadhanas effectuate a significant rise in the pranic electricity level at will. The enhanced level of prana also arouses the will power and the external and internal vigor of the sadhaka. The power of a small battery or dry cell is a tiny fraction of the enormous electrical power that could be produced in a grand powerhouse 

 A battery can be used for lighting a torch or for equivalent small jobs. But, if we need to run a big machine in a factory or lighten up a city, a huge power generator would be essential. Similarly, the ordinary level of prana may be sufficient for the sustenance of the routine physiological, metabolic and other normal functions of the body. It would be substantial for one's life if it simply revolves around eating, sleeping and reproducing. Should we require elevation from this animal nature of our life, we would need to elevate, protect and creatively channelize our pranic energy. Still higher presence of the cosmic prana would be required for still greater, august purposes. Specific kinds of yoga-sadhanas are needed to attain the desired charging of pranic energy as per the specific aim. 

Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,
