پرانا (Life) refers to the state of being alive, characterized by growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli. It encompasses various forms, including plants, animals, and humans. Each form of life has unique biological processes that sustain it, such as metabolism and homeostasis. In many cultures, including those influenced by Hinduism and Buddhism, prana is also seen as a vital energy that flows through living beings. This concept emphasizes the interconnectedness of all life forms and the importance of maintaining balance and harmony within oneself and the environment.
