Sir John Woodroffe also discussed about the
Manovaha Nadi as a generic name for the channels along
which centrally initiated presentations ( as in dreaming
or hallucinations) come to the sixth lope of the manas-
cakra. The Manas cakra receives Manovaha-Nadi (p.179).
He further mentions, Vijnana Bhiksu identified Manova ha
Nadi (vehicle of conciousness) with the cerebro-spinal
axis and its ramifactions. Again he mention that the
Manovaha-Nadi is the channel of communication between Jiva
(soul) with the Manas cakra (sensarium) at the base of
the brain (p.179-180). Efforts of the Will (Ajna, Prayatna)
are couscious presentation and the Manovaha Nadi must
therefore co-operate with the Ajnavaha in the producing the
consciousness of effort (Sep. 181).
Woodroffe further says, the Bhutasuddhi Tantra
speaks of 72,000 Nadis, the Prapancasara-Tantra of 300,000,
and the Siva Samhita of 350,000%; but of these, whatever
the total extent, only a limited number are of importance.
Some of the gross nadis, such as the physical nerves, veins
and arteries are known to the medical science. But they
are not all this gross or physical and visible character.
They exist like all else, in subtle forms, and are known
as Yoga-Nadia. The latter may be described as subtle
channels (Vivara) of Pranik or vital energy. The nadis
are, as stated, the conducts of Prana. Through them its
solar and lumar currents run. They are therefore vital
science of life-current, and not to the medical sastra
