Bandha (yoga)
A bandha ( sa, बंध) is a kriyā in Hatha Yoga, being a kind of internal mudra described as a "body lock," to lock the vital energy into the body. ''Bandha'' literally means bond, fetter, or "catching hold of".Iyengar, 1976: pp.435–437 Maha Bandha ("the great lock") combines all the other three bandhas, namely: * Mula Bandha, contraction of the perineum * Uddiyana bandha, contraction of the abdomen into the rib cage * Jalandhara Bandha, tucking the chin close to the chest In Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, these three Bandhas are considered to be one of the three key principles of yoga practice. ''Mula bandha'' ''Mūla bandha'' is a primary ''bandha'' in traditional yoga. The earliest textual mention of ''mūla bandha'' is in the 12th century Shaiva Natha text '' Gorakṣaśataka'' which defines it as a yogic technique to achieve mastery of breath and to awaken the goddess Kuṇḍalinī.

Bandha (Jainism)
''Bandha'' (also ''karma-bandha'') in Jainism, is the mutual intermingling of the soul and ''karmas'' (fine matter). ''Bandha'' (Bondage) comes immediately after the ''asrava'' (influx of ''karmas''). Overview According to the Jain text Tattvartha sutra, the activities that causes the bondage (or ''bandha'') are: *Wrong belief *Non-abstinence *Negligence *Passions According to the Jain text ''Samayasāra'', a right believer is free from the ''karma-bandha'' i.e. bondage. Champat Rai Jain, an influential Jain writer of the 20th century in his book ''The Key of Knowledge'' wrote: Classification The bondage is of four kinds: # according to the nature or species of karma # depending upon the duration of karma # Fruition of karma, and # The quantity of space-points of karma See also *Types of Karma According to Jain karma theory, there are eight main types of karma (''Prikriti'') which are categorized as either ‘harming’ or ‘non-harming’, with each category fu ...

Bandhu
Bandhu (1), Sanskrit for ''friend,'' connected with ''bandhana'' or ''ties,'' which are the connections that, according to the Vedas, link the outer and the inner worlds. Vedic texts speak, for example, of the 360 bones of the fetus that fuse into the 206 bones of the adult (after the 360 days of the year). As per Dharma traditions, 'Bandhutva' exists in all planes/fields, connecting them together. Few noteworthy fields are Nrittya (Dance), Sangeeta (Music), Jyotishya (Astrology), Vastu-Shastra, Yoga, and Ayurveda Ayurveda () is an alternative medicine system with historical roots in the Indian subcontinent. The theory and practice of Ayurveda is pseudoscientific. Ayurveda is heavily practiced in India and Nepal, where around 80% of the population repo ... (Medicine).

Trul Khor
''Trul khor'' ('magical instrument' or 'magic circle;' Skt. ), in full ''tsa lung trul khor'' ( sa, vayv-adhisāra 'magical movement instrument, channels and inner breath currents'), also known as yantra yoga, is a Vajrayana discipline which includes pranayama (breath control) and body postures (asanas). From the perspective of the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist traditions of Dzogchen, the mind is merely ''vāyu'' (breath) in the body. Thus working with ''vāyu'' and the body is paramount, while meditation, on the other hand, is considered contrived and conceptual. Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche (1938-2018), a proponent of trul khor, preferred to use the equivalent Sanskrit-derived English term 'yantra yoga' when writing in English. Trul khor derives from the instructions of the Indian mahasiddhas (great sages) who founded Vajrayana (3rd to 13th centuries CE). Trul khor traditionally consists of 108 movements, including bodily movements (or dynamic asanas), incantations (or mantras), pran ...

Karma In Jainism
Karma is the basic principle within an overarching psycho-cosmology in Jainism. Human moral actions form the basis of the transmigration of the soul ('). The soul is constrained to a cycle of rebirth, trapped within the temporal world ('), until it finally achieves liberation ('). Liberation is achieved by following a path of purification. Jains believe that karma is a physical substance that is everywhere in the universe. Karma particles are attracted to the soul by the actions of that soul. Karma particles are attracted when we do, think, or say things, when we kill something, when we lie, when we steal and so on. Karma not only encompasses the causality of transmigration, but is also conceived of as an extremely subtle matter, which infiltrates the soul—obscuring its natural, transparent and pure qualities. Karma is thought of as a kind of pollution, that taints the soul with various colours ('' leśyā''). Based on its karma, a soul undergoes transmigration and reinca ...
