Kapalbhati is traditionally classified as a shatkarma kriya (a cleansing technique), not a pranayama, even though it involves breathing. It's primarily used to cleanse the respiratory system and energize the mind and body.

Well, it depends on who you ask. If you ask Erwin Schrödinger, one of the founding fathers of Quantum Physics, he might say yes due to his inclination towards Vedanta. However, if you ask current pioneers like Sir Anton Zeilinger, they might disagree.

As far as conclusions go, both sides somewhat agree on the essence of Maya, meaning the underlying reality of everything is an illusion. Quantum Physics is considered incomplete because it can't perfectly explain mind-blowing phenomena like the double-slit experiment. On the other hand, Eastern spiritual schools like Vedanta and Buddhism offer complete philosophies, proving the essence of Maya through metaphysics.

Schrödinger famously devised the 'Probability Wave' theory, which essentially proves that everything in the world exists based on interactions. Everything in the universe exists as a wave, and it only collapses into a 'form' when we observe it. This conclusion aligns with the ancient teachings of Vedanta and Buddhism.

Spirituality is very personal to each individuals, an awakening can be anything in the spectrum of delusion to the absolute understanding of the self. Only you can define what it means for you. Nobody else can validate or understand what your experiance is. Its like chocolate, you can write books, probably thousands of them, describing how chocolate tastes, however you can never convay to the reader about the actual taste of it. So, the answer is yes and no, it all depends on you.

Simple Answer:
Spirituality is about exploring the unseen, while mathematics is a tool that helps us understand the seen. While these two might seem different, there can be surprising connections between them. Both spirituality and science try to answer big questions about the universe, just in different ways. Incorporating maths into spirituality maynot be as straight forward and their approach to deal with questions is different. However, one can always find correlation between spiritual understanding of the real world with that of what science describes.

Not so simple Answer:
Mathematics is the language of the universe. It helps us understand things we can't perceive with our senses. Scientists use this language to create inventions, like computers and rockets.

A great example is Einstein's theory of relativity. This theory explained how time and space work in ways we couldn't understand just by looking around. It wasn't until we launched satellites into space that we could actually see this theory in action. The clocks on the satellites started ticking at a different pace than clocks on Earth, exactly as Einstein's math predicted.

This shows us that math can help us perceive things beyond our senses, giving us a deeper understanding of the world around us.

Similarly, in partical physics, mathematics is used to describe the very nature of reality. Though imperfect but it has proven to be the best tool we have in our disposal.
