About the Book. Adiyogi: The Source of Yoga takes readers on a journey from myth into practice, presenting Shiva not simply as a deity but as Adiyogi — the first yogi, the original transmitter of the science of self-transformation. Sadhguru, a contemporary mystic himself, draws on decades of experiential wisdom to illuminate how Adiyogi's teachings gave rise to yoga as we understand it today. Arundhathi Subramaniam's literary sensibility shapes the narrative into a spellbinding blend of philosophy, poetry and storytelling, capturing an enigmatic figure who is at once creator and destroyer, ascetic and cosmic dancer. The book moves fluidly between historical inquiry and contemplative reflection, weaving science and spirituality into a single coherent vision. Rather than reading as a conventional biography or academic treatise, it unfolds as an immersive meditation on the nature of consciousness, freedom and human potential. Readers are introduced to the foundational ideas behind yogic practice — not as isolated exercises, but as part of a vast, ancient system of self-realisation. Whether encountered as a personal reading journey, a resource for yoga teacher training, or a text for classroom and study group discussion, Adiyogi offers a rare synthesis of accessible language and genuine
