Abstract

Nidra is derived from the root "Dra" with a prefix 'N'. The root "Dra" means undesired. Therefore, Nidra is considered as state in which there will be no desire. Nidra is one of the important pillars of Trayopsthmbhas. When the mind including sensory and motor organs is exhausted and they dissociate themselves from their objects, then the individual sleeps. Deprived and excessive sleep takes away both happiness and longevity. The same sleep, if properly enjoyed brings happiness and longevity in human beings as real knowledge brings about spiritual power in a Yogi.
