The vajra or thunderbolt is regarded as the weapon of lord
Indra, the lord the gods. Similarly this asana may be regarded as the king of
all asanas related with the mind, the king of all the senses. Vajra is major
pulse (nadi) directly related with the genito- urinary system which regulates
the sensual energy of body. There are over all fourteen asanas in Vajrasana
series. All these asanas are related with the digestive system and sensual
energy of a person. Therefore control of vajra nadi leads to sublimation and
control of sensual energy. Vajrasana series asanas are most recommended in
therapeutic yoga. There is hardly one person who has never been afflicted with
sensual or digestive problems. After certain age even waist pain is normal
problem. The vajrasana series plays an important role in alleviating waist pain,
spinal chord or shoulder pain. These are also quite effective during menstrual
disorders and abortions like problems or even normal delivery. That is why these
days various doctors recommend yoga for safe and normal delivery. There is no
time boundation for these asanas with only provision that you are on empty
stomach and healthy. One can perform vajrasana even during menstruation. This
relives one from pelvic strain, waist pain or burning sensation. During
Vajrasana the vital energy flow is towards sahsradhara from muladhara which
helps in meditation. Thus the sensual energy is promoted towards spiritual
upliftment. Even that person afflicted with sciatica and slip disc who find
unable to sit in meditational poses, can practice vajrasana easily.
