Prithvi-shaamak or Surya mudra


  • Popularly known as Surya mudra this mudra increases the Agni (fire) elemnt within the body.
  • It can, therofre, be called Agni-vardhak mudra, too.
  • At the same time, this mudra decreases the Prithvi (earth) element within the body.
Method: This mudra is formed by first placing the tip of the ring finger on the base of the thumb and then bringing gentle pressure of the thumb upon this finger.
  • This amounts to suppression of element earth (residing in the ring finger) by element fire (residing in the thumb).
