Let us pay respects to Yog and its roots
Yog saadhana is as ancient as Indus civilisation. It draws its roots from:
- Vedas and Upanishads
- Yog Vashishtha and Bhagavat Gita
- Patanjali yog sutra, Gheranda Samhita, and Hatha yog pradipika
As per Shiva Samhita, Lord Shiva is the originator of yog. It traces its lineage through pre-vedic, vedic, classical, post classical to present period. Swami Vivekananda was instrumental in introducing yog to the global mass.
The Ancient Wisdom of Yog
Throughout history, countless sages have preserved and transmitted the ancient wisdom of Yog, passing it down through generations.
Despite challenges, the practice has endured. Thanks to their unwavering dedication and sacrifices, we are now able to benefit from the profound teachings of Yog in its current form.
Our salutations to all of them for their wisdom, sacrifice and service for enriching our lives.
