Pingala (पिङ्गल) is an ancient Indian mathematician, famous for his work, the Chandas shastra (also Chandas sutra), a Sanskrit treatise on prosody considered one of the Vedanga.
In Indian literary tradition, Pingala is identified as the younger brother of Panini, the great grammarian of ca.
Use of zero is sometimes mistakenly ascribed to Pingala due to his discussion of binary numbers, usually represented using 0 and 1 in modern discussion, while Pingala used short and long syllables.

 Merging with Siva, Chapter 38: Powers of the Spine
It is one of fourteen currents within the spine which govern the instinctive, intellectual, conscious, subconscious, sub of the subconscious, subsuperconscious and superconscious areas of the mind.
However, if awareness is flowing through the pingala current already and is extremely aggressive, that means the entire nature of the individual is extremely aggressive, intellectual, and it is extremely difficult for him to withdraw those energies into the sushumna current.
It is the degree of energy that flows through the areas of the ida and pingala that forms one's nature, his actions, reactions and responses.

According to one tradition, Pingala was the younger brother of Panini, the great grammarian,4 and if that is correct then he should be assigned to about the 5th century BC.
Pingala’s representation for the 3-syllable verse-feet (CS, Adhyaya 1) is given in Table 1.
Pingala’s Table 1 also provides us the reason for the exact form of the sutra yamatarajabhanasalagam: ya is 100; ma is 000; and so on.

 Oracle Cards - Reference - Chakra Theory - Caduceus - Pingala
Since Pingala is an expression of the Sun Force, it operates in the Moment by expressing thoughts and ideas in ways that manifest tangible byproducts.
Pingala governs the left side of the body (The Rising Energy) shown as the row of signs and planets along the bottom of the graphic above.
Therefore, Pingala aligns with its natural expression in the 2nd, 4th and 6th chakras (where the Rising Energy is active during the day) and expresses the Ego experience to The Moment as adjusted by environmental, emotional and mental factors.

 Nadis - yoga
The Ida on the left is generally associated with the moon, white in colour, and with the prana or rising vital breath, semen and Shiva (male) ; the Pingala on the right with the sun, the colour red, blood or ovum and Shakti (female) (Gorakshasiddhantasamgraha).
The Ida is also sometimes associated with the prana or rising vital breath, and the Pingala with the apana or descending breath.
A rival interpretation, and one that has become very popular in the West, is that the Ida and the Pingala alternate, crossing over the the Sushumna at various points, thus giving rise to the image of the Caudicus.

This is symbolized with intermingled ida and pingala in the chakras.
That process should be run step by step without rushing, so that he has enough time to stabilize the balance of the consciousness and the prana (ida and pingala) into a suitable chakra, and to harmonize his inner consciousness and knowledge with his external expression and acting.
Consequently, ida, pingala and sushumna become one and flow together, which leads toward sahasrara, when the yoga-practitioner finds his way to samadhi, his self-realization and harmony.

 NadiArticle
Pingala nadi is said to be red in color, control all vital somatic processes and oversee the more masculine aspects of our personality.
Ida and Pingala are significant in that they contain within them the dualistic energies of prana and chitta, vital power and consciousness, intuition and rationality, right brain and left brain.
Hatha Yoga is then the practice of unifying the pranic and mental forces of Ida and Pingala, prana shakti and manas shakti, sun and moon, Yang and Yin.

The interaction between ida and pingala corresponds to the internal dance between intuition and rationality, consciousness and vital power, and the right and left brain hemispheres.
Bringing ida and pingala into equilibrium is a major focus of hatha yoga—so important, in fact, that the term hatha symbolizes this balance.
Ha represents the solar qualities, the vital force, of pingala; tha represents the mind and the lunar qualities of ida. Balancing sun and moon, or pingala and ida, facilitates the awakening and arising of kundalini, and thus the awakening of higher consciousness.

 Ida, Pingala, and the Central Sushumna.
When the negative and positive forces of the body, which express themselves via the ida and pingala nerve routes, are equilibrized, the forces can ascend and descend by the central channel to and from the brain, passing through the centers up the spine without hindrance.
These are called in the Hindu terminology: the ida, the pingala and the sushumna paths, and they together form the path of life for the individual man and are awakened into activity sequentially and according to ray type and the point of evolution.
There can now be the free flow of force up and down these two "pathways of the forces" and thus out into the "nadis", utilizing the area around any of the major centers as distributing areas and thus galvanizing, at will, any part of the mechanism into activity, or the whole mechanism into coordinated action.

When the Pingala nerve or the right nostril is in flow, the lda nerve lies inactive or dormant, and the gate of the left nostril remains closed.
When the right nostril is in flow, from each inhalation of air, the pingala nerve selects the positive electrons contained in the ether which interpenetrate the air, and carries a current of positive electromagnetism down the right side of the spine.
As the numerous branches which Pingala and lda nerves send out connect all of the plexi of the Sympathetic System with the Cerebrospinal system, much of the etheric energy which is conveyed along Pingala and lda is stored up in the different plexi, the chief of which is the Solar plexus.

This genius was the first commercial artist in history who immediately realized the significance of the "Black Art" with the invention of the Guttenberg Press and the potential therein to distribute his engravings and woodcuts across Europe.
Sushumna is transmitting the Kundalini into the Sahasrara (hence the radiation from Christ's head) while Ida and Pingala recycle the Ojas or fine prana, catching the blood in chalices.
This is the transmutation of Ida and Pingala in which the lure of the outer world is 'blinded' (forced 'Pratyahara' or sensory withdrawal) so that the inner alchemical work of Kundalini uniting with Shiva may take place within an interior space.
