Where are the five locations in the human body where Nada originates?

• A. Heart, Lungs, Stomach, Liver, Kidneys
• B. Nose, Mouth, Ears, Eyes, Tongue
• C. Naval part of the body(Ati Sukshma); Through the heart(As Sukshma), Through the voice box(as Pushta), Through the head(Apushta), Nose (as Kritrima)
• D. Naval part of the body(Ati Sukshma); Through the heart(As Sukshma); Through the voice box(as Pushta); Through the head(Apushta); Nose (as Kritrima)

Answer: (C)

Nada refers to the inner sound and, in certain yogic traditions, is said to originate from five subtle points inside the body. The naval region is the first and most subtle origin (Ati Sukshma). From there, the sound is understood to travel to the heart (As Sukshma), then through the voice box (Pushta), onward to the head (Apushta), and finally to the nose (Kritrima). This pattern reflects a progression through internal resonant spaces used in Nada meditation, helping the practitioner trace and hear the inner vibration as it moves through the body. The other options list external organs or perceptual organs that aren’t described as Nada origins in this framework, so they don’t fit with this concept.
