Abstract

Ayurveda is the science of life. According to Acharya Charaka, as long as the prana is in correlation with the sharir till then we can sustain our life. So the presence of life depends on prana. Ayatana is the place where the prana predominantly resides in our body. So to know about the science of life it is essential to study the dashapranayatanas, that is, those ten places in human body where the prana predominantly resides. Among these dashapranayatanas, sheer is of utmost importance and hence it has been studied in detail in this article. To describe sheer as a pranayatana, various ayurvedic samhitas (classical texts), relevant Ayurvedic books, journals, magazines have been referred. Some additional information from the internet has also been collected.
