The most misunderstood and misinterpreted among yoga techniques is Hadha Yoga. In common belief it is torturing of the body to extreme limits. Some Hadha Yogis absorb water, oil, milk, etc upwards through anus and penis. When large quantities of Prana are absorbed through lower part of spinal column, this energy tracts there liquids also upwards. That is the physical law behind this 'miracle'
Now we can examine what really Hadhayoga is meant by.
"Ha kara keerthithosurya
dha karaschandra uchyathe
Soorychandramasoraikyam
Hadha ithyabhidheeyathe"
'Ha' means sun or sun nerve
'dha' means moon or moon nerve
The union of sun (nerve) and moon (nerve)
Is known as Hadha yoga
Sun nerve denotes the pingala or right hemisphere of brain (and spinal cord), which is comparatively hot. Moon nerve, denotes 'Ida' or left hemisphere of brain (and spinal cord), which is comparatively cool. The union of both there parts means making the levels of vital radiations in these parts equal. This state is achieved by bringing the vital force through the middle part of brain (and spinal cord). This condition is conducive to good health and balanced personality. (Equilibrium of body-mind). In this state intellect and emotions shall be balanced.
According to yogic texts, through Hadhayoga-depression and ignorance can be eliminated. But it is to be remembered that this technique should be studies only under the supervision of Gurus having good knowledge on physiology, neurology and psychology. Students have to abide strict disciplines in diet and life style also.
