Kāyavyuhajñāna
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
Kāyavyuhajñāna literally means ‘knowledge of the internal structure of the body’.
The Yogasutras of Patañjali (200 B. c.) describes various siddhis or vibhutis (supernatural powers) that a yogi attains by samādhi[1] on various objects. If he concentrates on the plexus at the navel while attaining samādhi, he gets a detailed and clear knowledge[2] of the internal structure of the body (kāyavyuha).[3] This will help him keep his body in a fit condition.
