prana – מילון אנגלי-אנגלי
Prana
Prana (, ) is the
Sanskrit word for "
life force" or vital principle. In
Hindu philosophy including
yoga,
Indian medicine, and
martial arts, the term refers collectively to all cosmic energy, permeating the
Universe on all levels. Prana is often referred to as the "life force" or "life energy". It also includes energies present in
inanimate objects. In the literature, prana is sometimes described as originating from the
Sun and connecting the elements of the Universe. This life energy has been vividly invoked and described in the ancient
Vedas and
Upanishads.
Prana
Prana (Sanskrit) [from
pra before + the verbal root
an to breathe, live] In theosophy, the breath of life; the third principle in the ascending scale of the sevenfold human constitution. This life or prana works on, in, and around us, pulsating unceasingly during the term of physical existence. Prana is "the radiating force or Energy of Atma -- as the Universal Life and the One Self, -- Its lower or rather (in its effects) more physical, because manifesting, aspect. Prana or Life permeates the whole being of the objective Universe; and is called a 'principle' only because it is an indispensable factor and the
deus ex machina of the living man" (Key 176).
In working upon the physical body, prana automatically uses the linga-sarira (model-body) as its vehicle of expression during earth-life. Prana may be said to be the psychoelectric veil or field manifesting in the individual as vitality. The life-atoms of prana fly instantly back, at the moment of physical dissolution, to the natural pranic reservoirs of the planet. Further, occultism teaches that "(
a) the life-atoms of our (
Prana) life-principle are never entirely lost when a man dies. That the atoms best impregnated with the life-principle (an independent, eternal, conscious factor) are partially transmitted from father to son by heredity, and partially are drawn once more together and become the animating principle of the new body in every new incarnation of the Monads. Because (
b), as the
individual Soul is even the same, so are the atoms of the lower principles (body, its astral, or
life double, etc.), drawn as they are by affinity and Karmic law always to the same individuality in a series of various bodies, etc. . . ." (SD 2:671-2).
