Page 11 - Adhiyoga Purana

Adhiyogi’s students have described very succinctly their experiences and for each one of them the journey with Adhiyogi has been a transformative one. Most of his students were already initiated to various segments of arts like music, dance, theatre and so on and so forth. With Adhiyogi’s teaching they were enabled to discover a path that was both transformative and deeply rooted in clarity, tradition and relevance (Liliana Quander); his classes were a gateway into deeper wellness and self-awareness (Emily Dawson). Like this many have recorded how Adhiyogi’s classes and guidance caused gentle revolution in body, breath, and mind, quietly sparked by the humble and voluntary service of a yogi devoted to the ancient tradition.
Besides the experiences of his students, the book contains short reviews and opinions of Adhiyogi’s other works which paved the way for the birth of the present one. I am deeply indebted to Adhiyogi for asking me to pen a Foreword to this unique book which is a trajectory of Adhiyogi’s evolution as a yoga teacher with a difference. In fact, by leading innumerable students on a spiritual path Adhiyogi has caused a silent revolution in the sense that his students are inspired to emulate him in his practices and deeds. Adhiyogi is clearly destined to influence and inspire many more people on this planet earth. My pranams to him. My thanks are also due to Sri D.N. Lokappa, the renowned publisher of Mysore and Karnataka, for readily agreeing to publish this work of Dr. Neel Kulkarni, under his highly reputed Samvahana Prakashana. I thank everyone involved in the production of this book.
