Marma Points of Sushruta the foundation of Modern Kinesiology - Paperbackby Ashwini Kumar Aggarwal (Author) Marma is based on the model of a lighted being or the consciousness that fills all human beings and flows and radiates through our thoughts and emotions, nerves and tissues.

Some beams lose their amplitude, others lose their direction.
