What is the Science of Ancient Yoga?
The origins & science of yoga is a sacred and ancient practice that has been used since over 1,000’s of years for man to explore purpose of one’s birth and to seeking spiritual & divine enlightenment leading to immortality. This is the higher purpose of yoga that very few people follow. Those who have become immortal souls – there is no death nor birth for them.
The Practice of Yoga.
The science of yoga is a sacred and ancient practice that goes beyond just physical exercise as one sees it today. It is a holistic discipline that encompasses the body, mind, and soul in perfect harmony. Yoga serves as a pathway to connecting with your true essence and tapping into your highest potential as you realise yourself. It is a practice and lifestyle to explore your limits through your body as an instrument, and honouring it as a temple where your soul resides in. It is a spiritual journey to connect to higher levels of perception and experiences.
Ancient practitioners such as Citter Tirumular, Citter Bogar, Citter Aavayar left us behind the secrets of yogic practice and teachings so that man can continue to develop themselves into perfect beings allied with nature.
Over time, different schools of yoga emerged with their unique philosophies and practices such as Hatha yoga, which focuses on asanas (postures), & Raja yoga, which emphasizes meditation and self-discipline.
Unfortunately, over time the more important essence of what yoga is and its true essence in one’s journey was forgotten.
Today yoga is no more yoga, just an empty shell that has no meaning nor the tool to accomplish for the individual’s self-journey for it has lost its roots and for the development and purpose to accomplish for the individual practitioner.
Yoga is personal to you; it is a transformative journey that you take to reach out and experience by practicing and discovering for yourself to enjoy the fruits of it.
Citter Yogam and why we practice it.
Embarking on the journey of yoga brings many benefits beyond physical well-being. Here at Tyoga we teach yoga from its roots. This is an ancient Citter tradition based on Tamil texts and practices that are over 7,000 years in practice, not known to the world. Its secrets are still in existence with a very few. It is also an ancient & long-established yoga and healthcare practice. These practices are one of the world’s oldest documented systems, considered among the earliest organised knowledge system given by the Citters with concepts from experiences recorded long before many classical texts were formalised.
Citter teachings are ancient Tamil scientific practices focused on self-realization, human well-being, and immortality (Civa Yogam). These teachings come from primal, enlightened masters—the Tamil Citters—who taught that the individual soul is inherently one with the divine (Civa). It is an experiential path integrating yoga, health, and alchemy.
We teach this knowledge and expertise so that many more people can benefit from these ancient practices.
Citter mystics are revered spiritual masters, who achieved perfection through intense yogic practices, thereby attaining divine knowledge, healing powers, and control over nature, thereby becoming scientists, doctors, alchemists etc documented their wisdom as Tamil literature, focusing on bodily rejuvenation and spiritual liberation.
They journey beyond enlightenment as the ‘liberated’ yogis.
Citters are sages who were saints, doctors, alchemists and mystics all at once. Through their practices they are believed to have reached stages of insight which enabled them to tune into the powers hidden in various material substances and how to use them. They had the experience to journey beyond enlightenment as the ‘liberated’ yogis. They abandon beliefs for experience. Citters examine the human realities from cosmic consciousness.
Citter Tirumular’s teachings in ‘Tantirum’ are the roots to the term ‘tantra’, where the awakened roots of the human as in the mode of transcending a normal human into an angelic yogi.
