FAQs

It teaches that disciplined regulation of prāṇa and apāna steadily awakens the inner agni—symbolizing purification, heightened awareness, and readiness for mokṣa-oriented practice.

While primarily yogic, it supports bhakti by emphasizing inner purity and steadiness; a regulated life-breath stabilizes the mind, making sustained remembrance and worship more effective.

It reflects ritual imagery (āhita/agni established like a consecrated fire) applied inwardly—linking yajña symbolism with yogic praxis rather than a specific Vedāṅga technique like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa.
