Long before the majestic Sphinx and towering Pyramids adorned the Egyptian landscape, wise sages in India were already shaping their religious beliefs and creating influential schools of thought.

The history of this philosophy goes back for many centuries. Back to more than 10,000 years. Centuries before our present civilization had started— centuries before the Christian religion was established.

Can such ancient teachings still hold relevance in our modern world?

Yes. The Yogi philosophy holds such immense power and importance that it is challenging to find any form of Western philosophy that has not used or rephrased its fundamental truths.

"The Hindus embraced the principles of Spinoza thousands of years before Spinoza himself came into existence.” Sir Monier Williams, a British scholar observed. “They were Darwinians, advocating for the ideas of evolution, centuries before Darwin's time. The concept of evolution was ingrained in their beliefs even before scientists of our era accepted it as fact, and long before the term 'evolution' was even coined in any language."

Legend has it that Pythagoras, the famous Greek philosopher, traveled to India and studied under Hindu teachers. When he returned to his homeland, he brought a group of Hindu philosophers with him, eager to share their knowledge with the Greeks.

Even “Plato was full of Hindu thought,” Professor Edward Washburn Hopkins wrote, “worked out by him, but taken from Pythagoras.”

“There is no study more beneficial and elevating to mankind than the study of the Upanishads (ancient Hindu scriptures).” Schopenhauer, the great German philosopher, said. “It has been the solace of my life, and it will be the solace of my death.”

These quotes from great minds illuminate the importance of the Yogi teachings in the progress of humanity. And humanity is made up of individuals like you and me. Thus, these lessons can greatly benefit your personal growth.

One cannot deny the immense history and longevity of these teachings, and the resilience of the beliefs that have kept them alive throughout the ages. This fact alone demands our attention and admiration.
