Thirumoolar’s Yoga Lineage Study

“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots.”
Marcus Garvey

Why Study Lineage With Us?

Create Community and Study Together
- Develop Student/Teacher relationship
  - Important for personal growth
  - Demonstrated well in Bhagavad Gita
Cultural Acknowledgement
- Avoid Inappropriate Cultural Appropriation
Gain deeper realization of spiritual connection to yoga
Examine historical yoga philosophy for profound engagement
Use yoga’s history to cultivate understanding of today’s practice

We will primarily study the Tirumandiram by Thirumoolar
- This work was described by Dr. Georg Feuerstein in his book review, published by the Yoga Journal at that time as being “as important as the Yoga-Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga-Vashistha combined”
Embrace Yoga’s Roots
- How can you be a strong, upright tree, if you have no roots?

Lineage Is Important

“It definitely changes things up to be part of a lineage,” says Read More

Satyam Penn, a professor at the University of Toronto, a passionate student of Sanskrit, and a yogi for more than 30 years. Not only do you have access to great spiritual wealth and wisdom through lineage, but he suggests that, as with any spiritual discipline, you become part of something much greater than yourself. “What you’re being given is an opportunity really, a privilege, to transmit that tradition to future generations.” Once you realize how you have benefited from your path, Satyam says, “think about how many people so many years from now will benefit as well. It’s up to us to pass that on. That happens not through a text alone. There’s a kind of spark that’s transmitted through lineage.” (Source: Anandi Williams, A., 2017. Is Yoga Lineage Relevant in the Modern Era? – Integral Yoga Magazine.)

One of my teachers in India shared his thoughts on lineage with this: “Imagine eating only bread with water every day. At first, you may feel full and satisfied, but eventually, you will suffer because you do not have the full range of nutrients that God intended. Without lineage, you will become spiritually starved. You may look like you are practicing yoga to outsiders, but inside you will yearn for more.”
