Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference
Viṣṇu as Vāyu (wind) and Prāṇa (life-force) sustains all breathing beings. **Interpretation
Samīraṇa means wind, air, breath, life-force. Viṣṇu is the Samīraṇa - the vital energy animating all. **Mythological Story
The Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad describes a contest among senses to determine who is supreme. Eyes claimed supremacy, but when a person lost sight, life continued. Ears claimed it, but the deaf live. Each sense departed and returned, and life continued without them. Finally, Prāṇa (breath/life-force) threatened to leave - and immediately all other senses began dying! They begged Prāṇa to stay, acknowledging: "You are supreme; we are your servants." This Prāṇa is Samīraṇa - Viṣṇu as the animating principle. When Hanumān (son of Vāyu/wind) exhibited superhuman strength, he was drawing on his father's Samīraṇa power - ultimately Viṣṇu's power. The five prāṇas (vital airs) - prāṇa, apāna, samāna, udāna, vyāna - are all Samīraṇa's functions maintaining life. When yogis practice prāṇāyāma (breath control), they're not just manipulating air but connecting with Samīraṇa - the cosmic life-force. For devotees, conscious breathing becomes communion: each inhalation is receiving Samīraṇa's gift; each exhalation is surrendering to Samīraṇa's flow. The practice: throughout the day, periodically become aware of breath. Silently affirm: "This breath isn't mine; it's Samīraṇa (Viṣṇu) breathing through this body-instrument."
