These
ten are related to what are called in Tantra the ten gates, and
at death,one's
vital force exits from one of the ten. These ten gates are manovahi
nadis, or yoga nadis.
Their correspondence with the sympathetic nervous system can be
expressed
because both of these systems operate with the help of Pranic currents.
It is Prana
that makes the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems work.
When
Kundalini Energy rises, all the manovahi nadis become active. And
when the
combustion of Prana and Apana takes place, Kundalini Shakti is withdrawn
with great
force through Brahma Nadi and, piercing all the chakras, reaches
her abode in Soma
Chakra for final union. The shastras describe Kundalini Shakti at
that time as moving in
different styles, depending upon the dominance of the elements in
the person:
Gandhari.Nadi
stretches from below the corner
of the left eye to the big toe of the left foot.
Hastajihva stretches
from below the corner of the right eye to the big toe of the left
foot.
Yashasvini stretches
from the right big toe to the left ear.
Pusha stretches from
the left big toe to the right ear.
Alambusha begins at
the anus and terminates in the mouth.
Kuhu begins in the throat
and terminates in the genitals.
Shankhini originates
in the throat terminating in the anus.
Sarasvati Nadi is seated
on the tongue.
Payasvini Nadi flows
between Pusha(left Big Toe to right
ear)
and Sarasvati (tounge) nadis.
Varuni Nadi is situated between
Yashasvini ( from the right big toe to the left ear.)
and Kuhu nadis.( begins in the throat and terminates in the genitals)
Varuni Nadi terminates at the anus.
Vishvodara flows between
Kuhu( begins in the throat and terminates
in the genitals)
and Hastajihva nadis (below the corner
of the right eye to the big toe of the left foot)
and resides in the area of the navel.
