In today’s world, we can easily identify what is called apayoga and kuta-yoga.
Apayoga is yoga that has been completely invented—detached from any authentic tradition and shaped around personal ideas, branding, or business.
Kuta-yoga may begin with some connection to a traditional path, but at a certain point, the practitioner leaves that living tradition and creates a personal interpretation, establishing a new method disconnected from the source and transmission.
In both cases, the essential is completely lost, and people mislead themselves and others.
It is simple:
Yoga without living transmission through disciplic succession is not yoga.
Yoga is not a system that we invent, modify, or possess. Yoga is a spiritual path that is received.
Yoga belongs to paramparā—the disciplic succession of teachers and practitioners who have walked the path, realized its teachings, and faithfully transmitted them to those who approach with sincerity and commitment.
This sacred process of transmission is called Avad: the living and continuous transmission of transcendental knowledge from teacher to student, according to the student’s level and capacity, guiding them progressively toward the true goal of yoga.
If you sincerely wish to practice yoga, seek a genuine guru and approach the practice with devotion, humility, discipline, and commitment.
At Gokul Yoga, we strive to preserve and serve the path as it has been received, honoring the tradition and the legitimate disciplic succession.
Join our Ādi Krama classes according to your time zone and start practicing within paramparā.
Gokul Yoga — Yoga by Transmission.
