Science and Philosophy: The bones, muscles, skin, nervous system, and hair follicles in our body are made up of the Prithvi (Earth) element. Correspondingly, our five sense organs (Jnanaendriyas) that savor sound, form, taste, smell, and touch also function based on this very element. Therefore, regular practice of Prithvi Mudra brings these sensory organs into a state of perfect balance.
