Which Nadi starts from the right nostril?

Pingala Nadi is associated with the right nostril. In yogic philosophy, Pingala represents the solar energy, action, and masculine qualities. Its energetic qualities relate to vitality, activity, and assertiveness. It is said to correspond to the body’s sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body's fight-or-flight response.

In this context, when breathing through the right nostril—an action associated with activating Pingala—practitioners may experience heightened alertness and concentration. This contrasts with Ida Nadi, which begins at the left nostril and is linked to lunar energy, introspection, and feminine qualities, representing the body’s parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for relaxation and digestion. Sushumna Nadi, which runs along the spine, is the central channel for spiritual energy but does not specifically start from a nostril. Chandra, meaning moon, does not refer to a specific Nadi in this context. Understanding these connections helps in recognizing the balance of energies in practices like pranayama and meditation.
