Brahma Granthi functions in the region of Mooladhara Chakra (think, Mula Bandha abode!) . It implies attachment to physical pleasures, material objects and excessive selfishness. It also implies the ensnaring power of tamas – negativity, lethargy and ignorance.
Vishnu Granthi operates in the region of Anahata Chakra. It is associated with the bondage of emotional attachment and attachment to people and inner psychic visions. It is connected with rajas – the tendency towards passion, ambition and assertiveness.
Rudra Granthi functions in the region of Ajna Chakra. It is associated with attachment to siddhis – psychic phenomena and the concept of ourselves as individuals. One must surrender the sense of individual ego and transcend duality to make further spiritual progress.

What is left out of most Granthi discussions is how to cleanse and empower Them. To Cleanse them? Use the yogic practice of Tapasaya – which means, ‘to straighten by fire’ and requires inner study to be honest in ferreting out our negative tendencies, habituated patterns and impure thoughts and use Self Discipline to simply ‘straighten them out’ which is an outer manifestation of straightening out our Sushumna – our most powerful Nadic (Nadis are like nerves except they are conduits of Prana instead of electric impulses) which lies in the hollow of our spine (remember Wholistic Fitness® Lifestyle Principle Number 1; Conscious Breath and Posture? Yup, it’s all about Kundalini Arising through a straightened and strengthened Sushumna.
