00:00Did you know why tantrics sit on animal skin? Many tantrics and yogis meditate while sitting
00:07on animal skin. But why? At first glance, it may look strange, even primitive. But in yogic and
00:14tantric traditions, this practice has a very specific purpose. When a yogi enters deep meditation,
00:22subtle energies called Pranth begin to circulate through the body and spine. Ancient texts explain
00:29that the human body becomes like a living conductor of energy. If the body sits directly on the ground,
00:36that energy can slowly dissipate into the earth. That's why many traditional meditation seeds were
00:44made from deer skin, tire skin or thick wool. They were believed to act as natural insulators,
00:51helping the practitioner preserve the pranic energy generated during sadhana. Even deities like Shiva
00:58are often depicted seated upon animal skins, symbolizing mastery over both nature
01:05and the inner forces of consciousness. And that is why.
