Dakshinamoorthy
Dhakshinamoorthy - Guru(the yogi Sivan)
The practice of yoga is pre-vedhic and goes back to the period of hindus valley civilization. The ancient mystics unravelled the depth of the human consciousness and discovered the treasure of enormous energy hidden in it. The yoga system is a practical philosophy advocating physical perfection being a pre-requisite for mental perfection which is the basis for the spiritual progress and salvation. The tadition usually credits Siddhar Patanjali (his previous birth was Adhiseshan), a native of Chidhambaram to be the founder of the yoga system.
