(mental force) flow through every part of our body via these nadis. According to the<br />

tantras there are 72,000 or more such channels or networks through which the stimuli<br />

flow like electric current from one point to another. These 72,000 nadis cover the whole<br />

body and through them the inherent rhythms of activity in the different organs of the<br />

body are maintained. Within this network of nadis, there are ten main channels, and of<br />

these ten, three are most important for they control the flow of prana and consciousness<br />

within all the other nadis of the body. These three nadis are called ida, pingala and<br />

sushumna.<br />

Ida nadi controls all the mental processes while pingala nadi controls all the vital<br />

processes. Ida is known as the moon, and pingala as the sun. A third nadi, sushumna, is<br />

the channel for the awakening of spiritual consciousness. Now the picture is coming<br />

clear; prana shakti - pingala; manas shakti - ida; and atma shakti - sushumna. You may<br />

consider them as pranic force, mental force and spiritual force.
