Dear Ones, I have been writing about Pratyahara as explained by Swami Niranjananda Saraswati. I will go through the list.

First level of Pratyahara begins with Kaya Sthairyam. This is the first stage taught to us before we can think that we will learn to meditate. Kaya means the physical body, the physical form and Sthairyam means stillness. The stillness of the physical form has to be acquired before one learns to still the mind. I have written about it, so in order to avoid repetition, please go back and read it.

The second pratyahara is Drishti (vision) pratyahara.
The third pratyahara is Ghrana (smell) pratyahara.
The fourth pratyahara is Swad (taste) pratyahara.
The fifth pratyahara is Sravan (hearing) pratyahara.
The last is Charma (skin) pratyahara which is a meditative pratyahara.

I have shared this knowledge with you and I would suggest enjoy the sadhana and even doing one for a period, will make you aware.
