Mudras add to facial beauty
 
         In the case of some Mudras, performing them with the right hand, have a positive effect on the left side and vice versa. For wexample, there is only one artery that supplies pure blood to both sides of the body. When we perform Vayu Mudra with the right hand, the flow of blood within this artery gets redirected to the left side and thus helping reduce the pain in the knee joint of the left side.
         Life is beautiful and one needs the proper attitude to realise it. Mudras like Gyan Mudra, Prithvi Mudra and Prana Mudra help in building a positive attitude.
         Some Mudras like the Shoonya Mudra (performed to combat the effects of Vertigo) and Apaan-Vayu Mudra(to combat the effects of heart attack) produce the dsired effect with great speed while other Mudras show their efficacy gradually but definitely.
          Knowledge of Mudras can prove to be of immense help in the progress and protection of the entire human race.

All Comprehensive Mudras
 
         According to the renowned researcher Acharya Keshav Deo, discoveries made thousands of years ago by our Rishis and Yogis are being found to be true.
         Mudras try to achieve harmony at individual level and universal level; Mudras have very extra ordinary powers. The practice of Mudras bring about a quick and fundamental reversion of destructive changes in the human body. They develop virtuous,socially amicable nonviolent,pious and courteous disposition.
Mudras are universal in application. They will benefit all who practise them. There are numerous Mudras that are performed during worship, Yogasanas and Bandhas. The science of Mudras is very exact and perfect. Like the universe our body is composed of five elements. A balance among these five elements brings good health while an imbalance causes disease. By the practice of mudras an element in the body can be increased/decreased to bring it to an optimal level. The optimal level of the element in the body indicates health and happiness. Excess or deficiency of the element induces sickness. Specifically, the practice of mudras can bring about substantial change in the tendons,arteries and glands. Mudras are like yogic injection and yogic tranquiliser. Some of the mudras can balance an element within the body in 45 minutes or less, whereas some other Mudras have an immediate effect Practising mudras regularly can cure sleeplessness, arthiritis,memory loss, heart problems, impaired hearing, gray hair, incurable infections, blood pressure, diabetes, congested chess and many more ailments.

  Significance of Mudras
 
       Through preseverance in meditation and contemplation, the Rishis and Yogis made innumerable discoveries. They could awaken Kundalini power and acquired vitality. They also achieved clairvoyance, clairaudience and telepathy. They perceived the cosmic sound, formed thirty-three alphabets of Sanskrit language and realised the vibrations in the body. Accordingly they composed Mudras and Mudras for physical,mental and spiritual well-being.
     Nature was their laboratory. They realised that there are innumerable species in nature but among them the man is unique in many aspects. He can think, express his ideas, can rediscover the higher planes of spirit hidden within him. The discriminative faculty - the intellect is the rarest gift of nature to man

Significance of Mudras(contd...)
 
          Man's constitution is based on a particular balance of five fundamental vital elements, five winds (air) - Prana, Apana, Udana, Samana and Vyana and three Doshas - Kapha, Vata and Pitta.
           Man is not only the mind-body but also emotions and desires. Therefore the Rishis and Yogis designed Dharma - the set of ethical rules that would complete the process of his evolution in a profound manner. To aid in adherence of Dharma, they combined Mudras and Mantras with:
        worship, the performance of Sandhya Vandan at dawn and dusk and Japa - the repetition of the divine name of God.
