Ahibaran

Ahibaran is a term appearing in certain strands of Hindu mythology and esoteric traditions, particularly within some Tantric and yogic systems. While its exact meaning and significance can vary depending on the specific context, it generally refers to a subtle energy channel or pathway (nadi) within the human body.

It is often described as being connected to the flow of prana (life force) and playing a role in spiritual awakening and the attainment of higher states of consciousness. Unlike the more widely known nadis like Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna, Ahibaran is considered a less prominent but nonetheless important channel.

Descriptions of Ahibaran often link it to purification processes, the release of karmic blockages, and the subtle body's energetic alignment. Some texts suggest that working with Ahibaran can facilitate emotional healing and improve mental clarity. However, details about its specific location, function, and methods of accessing it are often shrouded in esoteric symbolism and require guidance from a qualified teacher. The concept of Ahibaran may not be universally recognized or discussed across all schools of Hindu thought.
