Mudras
are the developed from of asanas. Holding the body in particular postures in
order to control the sense organs is of prime importance in asanas, whereas in
Mudras, main thrust is given on Prana, the root of human life. Our scriptures
speak very high about the achievement of Mudras in the world. He who practices
them only for a period of three hours every day conquers time.
