What is Aditi Mudra ?
The Sanskrit word Aditi means “The Boundless” or “Limitless” and mudra means “Gesture”. As per some ancient Vedic scriptures, the word Aditi is described as the earth i.e. Prithvi.
Aditi Mudra is created with the union of earth and fire elements. Our ring finger represents the earth element and our thumb represents the fire element. This Mudra helps in the growth of Prithvi and Agni elements i.e. earth & fire elements.
Origins of Aditi Mudra
Nobody exactly knows the origin of the Aditi Mudra and when it was documented. The Mudras have been passed down through oral tradition, scriptures, and practices over centuries in Indian traditions.
Aditi Mudra has roots in ancient Indian spiritual practices, particularly within the context of yoga and Hinduism.
The Significance of Aditi Mudra in Hindu Mythology
As per Hindu philosophy, Aditi is revered as the mother of the gods. She is particularly known as the mother of the Adityas, who are considered solar deities. Adityas represents various aspects of the cosmos. Aditi is also considered the goddess of fertility, abundance, and creativity. The practice of Aditi Mudra invokes the energy of Aditi. It symbolizes supportive and nurturing qualities. It is associated with motherhood and the divine feminine.
The significance of Aditi Mudra is to evoke a sense of connection with the universal energy and to foster feelings of protection, stability, and abundance.
How Does Aditi Mudra Work?
While Practicing Aditi Mudra we create the union of earth element and fire elements. Our ring finger represents the earth element, whereas our thumb represents the fire element. Aditi Mudra helps in the growth of Prithvi and Agni elements i.e. earth & fire elements.
While performing the Aditi Mudra, the placement of the thumbs close to the ring finger creates a closed circuit of energy within the body.
This closed circuit helps practitioners concentrate and channel energy, to experience a sense of inner balance, stability, and connection with the universal energy.
How to Practice Aditi Mudra?
To practice, Aditi Mudra sit in any comfortable posture like:
Vajrasana (Adamantine Pose / Thunderbolt pose)
Padmasana (Lotus Pose)
Any cross-legged posture (Sukhasana/ Ardhapadmasana/Siddhasana) with a straight spine.
You can take a cushion or yoga block to elevate your hips slightly. This will help you keep your spine straight. In case you cannot sit in any of these postures then simply sit on the chair with a straight spine. Prefer which is comfortable for you.
Now place the tip of the thumb of the hands at the base of the ring finger, keeping the other fingers straight. Now place the back of your hand on the knee. Gently close your eyes and meditate in this Aditi mudra.
