Adiyogi: The Source of Yoga

This book offers a tribute to Shiva, regarded as the first yogi, known here as Adiyogi. The name Shiva is said to mean that which is not, an original emptiness, and the figure of Adiyogi is presented as myth, historical person, and living presence all at once: creator and destroyer, renouncer and lover. Written by a contemporary mystic about the source of mysticism itself, the work blends scientific and philosophical ideas with spiritual insight. Its language moves between silence and sound, and between questions and answers, in an effort to convey a mystery that resists plain description. Readers are invited to be drawn in and changed by the attempt.
