VIBHUTI PAAD SUTRA -31

                                                   KURMA  NADYAM  STHAIRYAM

(BY  CONCENTRATING  ON ) KURMA  NADI  ONE ATTAINS  STEADINESS

       This is interesting Sutra. We have been told as to the powers or the benefits that one gets when he achieves the perfection of the concentration on various parts . so to continue the same thing , in this Sutra ,we are told that when one concentrates on the KURMA NADI, he gets steadiness of the ?body ?of mind or ?both. In Hindu understanding of physical and the astral body , we have various NADIS . These are the channels through which the ENERGY flows. So there is always ASTRAL replica of PHYSICAL body. The KURMA NADI --KURMA MEANS TURTLE -is located bellow the throat. In the last Sutra the throat was referred to as WELL as it had several openings of tubes .So Kurma is bellow the throat . It most likely is ANAHAT CHAKRA or the area of the heart . If one looks at the anatomy of the heart, it can look like TURTLE , The heart itself could be the body of the turtle and the blood vessels that leave the heart and the enter the heart could be like extremities of the turtle.

    The heart rate and in tern the blood pressure goes up , when we are anxious , excited , agitated mentally or exercising -physically. So YOGI can control the heart rate and the blood pressure, when he succeeds in concentrating on this ANAHAT CHAKRA, which is located at the level of the heart.
