In physiology, Rama represents (the vital life force) and the Vagus Nerve . Just as Rama travels from Ayodhya to Lanka, Prana travels from the lungs to the viscera. Rama’s adherence to Dharma mirrors the immune system’s ability to distinguish self from non-self (the body’s innate righteousness).

When stress, poor lifestyle, or traumatic experiences occur, our emotional heart (Sita) gets isolated in the lower, survival-driven regions of the brain and body (Lanka). The ego (Ravan) takes control, causing a state of internal division, high cortisol, and anxiety.

To heal, the cortex must activate the body's deep reservoirs of life energy and immunity (Hanuman). Through practices like meditation, pranayama, and yoga, the communication between the brain and the endocrine system is restored.
