We are different but we are one
Our lineage is an ancient spiritual reality connecting all humanity.
Our ṛṣi lineage originates from Śiva in the Satyuga, a primordial era for the entire world. Early humans lived simply in nature, yet violence existed. Sacred knowledge, including yoga in its fullest sense, emerged from Himalayan ṛṣis who lived on vegetation and performed yajñas. This wisdom spread globally. The seven ṛṣis, seen as stars, are ancestors to all people, linking traditions from Australian Aborigines to others. Our specific paramparā includes Ālakpurījī, witnessed in the Himalayas, and the miraculous Devapurījī, who restored life. The great Mahāprabhujī is worshipped as Bhagavān. A banyan tree at the Kathu ashram stands as a living witness to this truth, as affirmed by my Gurujī. We must keep this lineage clear.
"Yoga means not only postures and prāṇāyāma, but everything is called yoga."
"Those who are very spiritual people... they will not suffer. They will give their body off, and they will come to the Brahmaloka."
