Vayu Mahabhoota stands next in the
hierarchy of creation. The concept of this Vayu Mahabhoota makes us realize
that the movement from apratighatatwa or nothingness of Akasha to sense of
touch (sparsha) or feeling of something is the sense attribute of this
Mahabhoota. Apart from this it also carries the sense attribute of sound
(shabda) and thus the creation if felt but not seen.
The basic property of this mahabhoota is the movement or chalatwa logically
anything that moves or transported does so because of this Mahabhoota. In
living beings this Mahabhoota is a major constituent of Vata dosha which is
responsible for movements like that of motor or sensory nerve impulses, food
through G.I.T, movements of the joints etc.
