The yog\u012bs who practice such breathing exercises are very soon freed from all mental disturbances, just as gold, when put into fire and fanned with air, becomes free from all impurities.<\/p>\n
PURPORT<\/p>\n
This process of purifying the mind is also recommended by Lord Caitanya; He says that one should chant Hare Kr\u0323s\u0323n\u0323a. He says further, param\u0301 vijayate: “All glories to \u015ar\u012b Kr\u0323s\u0323n\u0323a sa\u0144k\u012brtana!” All glories are given to the chanting of the holy names of Kr\u0323s\u0323n\u0323a because as soon as one begins this process of chanting, the mind becomes purified. Ceto-darpan\u0323a-m\u0101rjanam: [Cc. Antya 20.12] by chanting the holy name of Kr\u0323s\u0323n\u0323a one is cleansed of the dirt that accumulates in the mind. One can purify the mind either by the breathing process or by the chanting process, just as one can purify gold by putting it in a fire and fanning it with a bellows.<\/p>\n
