Prana is life energy
Prāṇa is the vital force sustaining life beyond apparent death.
A young man declared dead after a cobra bite was placed in the Gaṅgā, yet returned after fourteen years. His prāṇa entered a deep samādhi, halting breath so water could not enter his lungs, preserving life. Similarly, a yogī in the Himalayas survives encased in ice, sustained by prāṇa drawn from the elements without breath. Where the soul resides, prāṇa is present, and where prāṇa exists, there is no death. The sage Vālmīki sat in meditation for years as termites built a mound around him, kept alive by prāṇa focused in the Sahasrāra Cakra through silent mantra repetition. Another man, angry at God, refused to work after seeing an ant fed within a sealed rock. He rejected discovered treasure, insisting providence deliver it to his home, which later occurred through a thief's actions, teaching trust in divine timing. Through prāṇāyāma and mantra, prāṇa ascends to the Sahasrāra, guided by grace.
"Where the soul is there, the prāṇa is there. When prāṇa is there, the soul is there. And when the soul is there, death is not there."
"What is in your kismat, you will get it. Do good karma."
