Classical

Prāṇa relevance

Root source for prana, the vital airs, citta-vritti and the subtle body — the doctrinal backstop for Frawley's psychological / yogic-astrology claims; a Phase-2 collation target.

  • ←Vedic (Yoga) psychology vs modern psychology — the soul not the conditioned mindModern
    Frawley grounds the chapter's defining doctrine — Yoga psychology aims to go BEYOND the mind, stilling its thought-patterns — by quoting-and-locating the Yoga Sutras: the practice of Yoga is 'traditionally defined (Yoga Sutras I.2.) as the negation of the thought patterns of the mindstuff' (book p.222). The rule's silent-mind goal derives from this root verse.
