Book Description

About the Book

I was witnessing some of the hand gestures- Mudras performed by priests at various temples, since my younger days, was very curious and interested to know about its significance but failed to get the explanations from them. After some time, when I became a student of yoga, only Chinmudra, Chinmayamudra, Adimudra and Bramhamudras were taught. But even then the scientific effects of these Mudras on our body were not known. I started contacting various elderly people, Acharyas and Scientists on this subject.

Then only I was able to enter the World of Mudras”. The five basic principles which have constructed our body, the fire, the air, the ether, the earth and the water principles, the electromagnetic energy prevailing in our body at a particular proportion came to my knowledge. These five principles ware impregnated in our fingers only, was a great knowledge and great through for the formation of the science of “Mudra Vijnana”. Our Maharshies have done extensive on this subject and have written and recorded in various shastras about “Mudras”.

“Mudras” are a prominent part of ypga. Information has been collected from various shastras, sources and is placed in the hands of “Janata Janardhan”, the common man, in a simple language with scientific explanations.

The effect of “Mudras” performed unknowingly also gives its benefits. It is requested to make use of this forgotten great science of yoga and get better health physically, mentally and spiritually.
