Karana Mudrā

From Ayurwiki
Jump to: navigation, search

The Karana mudrā is the mudra which expels demons and removes obstacles such as sickness or negative thoughts. It is made by raising the index and the little finger, and folding the other fingers. It is nearly the same as the gesture known as corna in many 'western' countries, the difference is that in the Karana mudra the thumb does not hold down the middle and ring finger. This mudra is also known as Tarjanī mudrā and in Japanese Funnu-in, Fudō-in.
