Pingala
3rd–2nd century BC Indian mathematician and poet
For the subtle energy channel described in yoga, see Nadi (yoga).
AcharyaPingala[2] (Sanskrit: पिङ्गल, romanized:&#;Piṅgala; c. 3rd–2nd century BCE)[1] was an ancient Indian poet and mathematician,[3] and the author of the Chandaḥśāstra (Sanskrit: छन्दःशास्त्र, lit.&#;'A Treatise on Prosody'), also called the Pingala-sutras (Sanskrit: पिङ्गलसूत्राः, romanized:&#;Piṅgalasūtrāḥ, lit.&#;'Pingala's Threads of Knowledge'), the earliest known treatise on Sanskrit prosody.[4]
The Chandaḥśāstra is a work of eight chapters in the late Sūtra style, not fully comprehensible without a commentary. It has been dated to the last few centuries BCE.[5][6] In the 10th century CE, Halayudha wrote a commentary elaborating on the Chandaḥśāstra. According to some historians Maharshi Pingala was the brother of Pāṇini, the famous Sanskrit grammarian, considered the first descriptive linguist.[7] Another think tank identifies him as Patanjali, the 2nd century CE scholar who authored Mahabhashya.

Sushumna, Ida & Pingala: A Guide to the 3 Nadis & Kundalini Awakening
Our bodies are remarkable networks of energy. Just as we have arteries carrying blood to every cell, we also have nadis—subtle channels that distribute prana (life force energy) throughout our being.
While we can't see these pathways with our eyes, ancient yogic texts have mapped thousands of them in the astral (energy) body. The three main channels—Sushumna along the spine, Ida on the left, and Pingala on the right—play an important role in how we move, breathe, and experience life. Not only that, but they are also key to awakening a powerful dormant energy, known as Kundalini Shakti.
If you’re new to nadis, keep reading to understand their meaning, functions, and how to properly purify Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna for Kundalini awakening.
What Are Nadis?
Nadi means “tube” or “channel” in Sanskrit. In yoga and Ayurvedic tradition, nadis are subtle energy pathways that weave through our astral body carrying prana (life force energy).
These channels connect at important energy centers called chakras, creating a dynamic network that influences our whole system. Think of it a
