Ancient Yogic Texts and Verses on Kumbhak

Ancient Yogic Verses: 📜 1. chale vāte chalaṁ chittaṁ, niścale niścalaṁ bhavet | yogī sthāṇutvam āpnoti tato vāyuṁ nirodhayet ||Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā 2.2|| — “As long as your breath moves, so will your mental noise. In the same way, when you pause your breath, the mental noise will be gone too. You should therefore sit and try to hold your breath.”

‣ 📜 2. na tasya durlabhaṃ kiñcit triṣu lokeṣu vidyate | śaktaḥ kevala-kumbhena yatheṣhṭaṃ vāyu-dhāraṇāt ||Hatha Yoga Pradīpikā 74, Dattātreya Yogaśāstra 68|| — “By holding your breath (vāyu-dhāraṇāt), there is nothing in the entire creation which remains unattainable.”

‣ 📜 3. dhārayen manasā prāṇaṃ sandhyā-kāleṣu sarvadā | sarva-roga-vinirmukto jīved yogī gata-klamaḥ ||Yoga Yājñavalkya 2.2|| —“One should regularly hold the breath three times a day. This is said to completely free one from all diseases and one will live happily free of suffering.”

‣ 📜 4. āvatsarārdham-abhyāsam pratyahaṃ yaḥ samācharet | sarva-roga-vinirmukto vatsarān mṛtyu-jid bhavet ||Kumbhak Paddhatiḥ 149|| — “One who practices Kumbhak daily for six months is said to become free from all physical and mental diseases and imbalances; with a year of practice, one is said to overcome premature death.”

Kumbhak Increases Memory Power

‣ 📜 5. “Kumbhak or Stambha Vṛtti (Third) or Chaturthaḥ (The Fourth & Ultimate) Prāṇāyāma, the supreme breathwork of all, helps one to transcend all limitations (viṣayākṣepī), removes the veil covering one’s innate knowledge and makes it shine forth (prakāśāvaraṇam), and thus awards the qualification of rapt, mindful and presenceful concentration to the mind (dhāraṇāsu ca yogyatā manasaḥ).” ~ Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtra, Sādhana Pāda 2.50-53

‣ 📜 6. kumbhakaḥ sarva yogānāṁ karmaṇāṁ chādhikāriṇaḥ | sarve yoga vidhāḥ prāhuḥ kumbhakaṁ paramaṁ tapaḥ|| — “Kumbhak is not just the foundation of all kinds of yoga but of all your actions in life. All yoga traditions declare kumbhak to be the awarder of the goals of all pursuits in life.”

‣ 📜 7. The phrase sthira sukhaṃ āsanam from Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtra 2.46 unveils a profound and exhilarating definition of yoga that resonates deeply within us. It reminds us that every yoga posture, or āsana, is a beautiful interplay between the stillness (sthira) of the body and the tranquility (nirodhaḥ ys 1.2) of the mind. Imagine entering a state where your body feels grounded and yet vibrant, all achieved by cultivating a serene mental peace in silence. And that transformative experience is primarily unlocked through Kumbhak—the invigorating practice of breath-holding in Yoga.

‣ 📜 8. Whenever you are feeling silence, peace and balance, you will notice your breath automatically slowing down gradually or pausing. In the same way, by voluntarily pausing your breath (Kumbhak), you can effortlessly feel silence, peace and in balance. It works both ways.
