Description
Arthur H. Ewing’s groundbreaking study investigates the Hindu understanding of breath as a fundamental principle in early psycho-physical theory. The work delves into classical Hindu philosophical texts to uncover how ancient scholars conceptualized prana—the vital life force—and its functions across physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions.
This comprehensive analysis traces the development of breath-related concepts through various Hindu traditions and their practical applications in yoga, meditation, and holistic health practices. Ewing demonstrates how the ancients viewed breath not merely as a physiological process but as a bridge connecting the material and immaterial aspects of human existence.
The book serves as an invaluable resource for scholars of comparative philosophy, religious studies, and the history of Eastern thought, offering insights into how early Hindu civilization understood consciousness and embodied experience.
