Mudras au fost practicate in toate timpurile si de catre toate religiile.

Chiar si noi fiecare

in parte practicam mudras fara sa realizam de fapt acest lucru.
Mudra inseamna pur si simplu pozitii ale mainilor si degetelor (Mudras
este pluralul). E imposibil sa nu fi vazut niciodata pozitii statui
reprezentandu-i pe Isus, Buddha, Mahavi sau hiva (si binenteles ca lista de
nume este mult mai lunga ( am amintit aici doar cativa foarte cunoscuti) in
timp mainile si degetele ne sunt prezentate in anumite pozitii (ipostaze).
Mudra reprezinta de asemeni un gest sau actiune simbolica, care este o
e!presie psihica a unei stari interioare.
Beneficiul adus de mudras este e!trem de important. prin aceste e!ercitii
se poate obtine o sanatate mai buna, daca o avem de"a - se poate mentine,
mudrele sunt folosite chiar si in dans (involuntar), ritualuri, ceremonii...
Va prezentam doar cateva dintre ele:
GYAN MUDRA
#egetul mare si aratatorul sunt unite intr-un conctact lin, nu presand
puternic, in timp ce celelalte degete sunt tinute vertical. $ceasta este
mudra cu care oamenii sunt cel mai familiarizati.
Marii ganditorii si invatati ca Buddha , Mahavir , Isus si %uru &ana' sunt
prezentati in aceasta atitudinie (pozitie). Este practicata pentru a asigura
pacea mentala, concentrarea, mintea patrunzatoare si sentimentele
spirituale.
(indeca insomnia si dizarmoniile mentale, inlatura tensiunile, depresiile si
somnolenta (moleseala). $ceasta este in mod sigur pentru cei care practica
mudras, )oga, fingerthose, pentru cei ce se ocupa de telepatia sau doresc sa
obtina abilitati e!trasenzoriale.

In a teeming trans-Yamuna locality of Delhi, India, lies the i!ekanand Yogashram"
Its director Acharya #esha! De! is a lean man in his si$ties" %is eyes are perpetually
half-closed &ut you can scarcely suspect indolence, rather it seems as if he is seeking
something within" %e discourses on the mysteries of the uni!erse or holds forth on
the !irtues of ancient science with e!ident relish" In awe of nature, he &elie!es man
to &e its supreme creation"
'he Acharya has spent years studying the ancient systems of astrology, numerology,
music and grammar" %e asserts that the sciences of yore got coated with sugar down
the years" ('he ancients &elie!ed there were )* diagnostic elements, is it a
coincidence that the +ayatri mantra has )* words, the ,ains ha!e )* 'irthankaras,
-anatan Dharma has )* a!atars,( he asks"
.ne of his fa!orite su&/ects is the science of mudras" 0mphasi1ing on hasta mudras
2hand postures3, the Acharya says there is a tremendous flow of energy in our hands
and each finger represents one of the fi!e elements4the thum& is agni 2fire3, the
forefinger is vayu 2air3, the middle finger is akash 2ether3, the ring finger is prithvi
2earth3 and the little finger is jal 2water3"
('he roots of all diseases lie in an im&alance of one of the fi!e elements and can &e
corrected with medicines, willpower and mudras,( he says" 'he +ayatri mantra also
confirms the worth of mudras with a grim 5ualifier:
Eta mudra na janati Gayatri nishfala bhavat 2he who knows not the mudras will not
&enefit from +ayatri3"
'he mantra lists )* mudras, while an unknown num&er lies in the many forms of
yoga" Acharya #esha! De! has, howe!er, e!ol!ed some of his own mudras, which
help control, many of the diseases that afflict us today"
(.ften you might ha!e &een re&uked &y your mother for twiddling your fingers or
dangling your legs" 'his is considered inauspicious &ecause it in!ol!es a waste of
prana or the !ital energy within us,( he e$plains" (An e$cess of wastage can e!en
lead to &rain damage6 mudra !igyan taps this energy to heal the indi!idual" 'he
science of mudras is one of the finest gifts of yoga to the cause of human welfare,(
he adds"
Born in 7897, to the president of the local &ar council in :eerut, India, #esha! De!;s
house was full of religious literature" During the turmoil of Partition, he wandered
away from home and &egan rigorous ascetic practices, li!ing on fruit /uices for si$
months" %e disco!ered the magic of mudras when he had an earache" %is guru
suggested a mudra that, howe!er, pro!ed ineffecti!e, &ut it led him to configure his
fingers in new ways" .ne of the shapes, which he later christened -hunya :udra,
cured him completely, and enhanced his aural faculty to such an e$tent that he
seems to ha!e heard his inner !oice too and has not ceased trying out new shapes
since"
%is mission in life now is simply to help as manyas possi&le &y retrie!ing the lost
disco!eries of an ancient science" 'hese mudras are for e!eryone" 'hey can &e
practiced for half-an-hour daily" It is ad!isa&le to sit cross-legged on your &ed or on
the floor while doing a mudra, &ut the Acharya assures that it won;t &e ineffecti!e if
you do not follow this posture" You could e!en go for a stroll, with your hands
casually tucked in your pockets, fingers folded in a particular mudra"
:udras ne!er generate an e$cess of energy, they simply seek an optimal &alancing
of prana, much like a thermostat" -o ne$t time you are ailing, remem&er it may /ust
&e an instance of malad/usted prana and an innocuous sleight of hand could &e the
cure"
