	~~'''Prāṇa''' (प्राण) is the~~ [[~~Sanskrit~~]] word for "vital life" (from the root ''prā''). In [[Vedanta\|Vedantic]] philosophy, prana is the notion of a vital, [[life]]-sustaining force of living beings and [[vitalism\|vital energy]], comparable to the Chinese notion of [[Qi]]. In human beings, it flows through a network of fine subtle channels called [[nāḍi\|nāḍis]].		#REDIRECT [[Prana]]
	~~In the [[Theosophy\|Theosophical]] literature prāṇa is the third (sometimes second) [[principle]] of human beings, usually referred as "life principle" or "vital principle."~~
