Shantarasa School of Yoga

LINEAGE

We live in an age of proliferation of information. Yet yoga wisdom is not merely information or even knowledge and cannot be fully conveyed by means of magazines, journals, websites or even serious scholarly research and publications. Yoga wisdom is forged by personal instruction and mentoring as well as by personal practice and experience.

The science of Yoga in not an inert body of wisdom, but rather a vibrantly alive and potently transformative vehicle for spiritual development that can be literally transmitted by specially gifted, fully developed adepts. These exceptional teachers possess the unique capacity to impart, to the ready student, an experience or ‘taste’ of their own attainment , and to instigate a spontaneous process of ongoing ‘unfoldment’ or growth that continues unabated until the student also becomes established in the foundational state of awareness that is goal of all yoga training.

It is this living lineage of wisdom transmission as well as instruction that is at the heart of Shantarasa’s teaching. The principals of Shantarasa have been deeply trained by masters of yoga, or Siddhas, who in turn received an awakening and complete training from their own fully accomplished teachers, in an unbroken lineage.

We offer our deep appreciation and gratitude to Bhagavan Nityananda, Baba Muktananda Paramahamsa and the current lineage holder, Mahamandaleshwar Swami Nityananda, who is the spiritual mentor of Shantarasa School of Yoga.
