Adiyogi: The Source of Yoga by Sadhguru

Adiyogi: The Source of Yoga is a book by Sadhguru. It presents a tribute to Shiva as Adiyogi, described as the first-ever yogi.

Synopsis

The text explains Shi-va’ as “that which is not”, a primordial emptiness, and describes Shiva as the one who first perceived this emptiness. Adiyogi is portrayed through multiple, contrasting identities at once, including symbol and myth, historic figure and living presence, creator and destroyer, outlaw and ascetic, cosmic dancer and passionate lover.

Described as an extraordinary document by a living yogi, it is presented as a chronicle of the progenitor of mysticism by a contemporary mystic. The description states that science and philosophy merge, as do silence and sound, and question and answer, to convey the enigma of Adiyogi through words and ideas.
