In the early 1900s, the ancient text of the Yoga Korunta was imparted to Sri T. Krishnamacharya by his Guru, Rama Mohan Bramechari. This is the study of all of the Yogas as one practice: Kundalini, Jnana, Kriya, Bhakti, Karma, Raja, Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Inclusive to the philosophies of each, are the Astrologic Affects (Grahas, the planets), the dimensions or "other worlds" that are based on the study of the Chakras, Sacred Geometry, the study of the Tattvas (Planes of Existance). Also included are the combined teachings of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, the Upanishads, ancient Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism and Asanas.

The Yoga Korunta is the most ancient, classical practice. Korunta means "gathering". The emphasis is in knowing that everything is connected and gathered into One. The Yoga Korunta is the sacred, ancient manual prepared by Vamana Rishi, an ancient sage. It is also the source of the Hatha, Astanga , Anasura, Vinyasa Yoga methods. In 1927, some of the information was passed down from Krishnamacharya to his students, begining with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. From that era, (with the exception of Kundalini Yoga), the study of each of the Yogas within this Yoga, began to branch off in different styles of contemporary teachers.

Example: The modern day focus of Anusara and Astanga Yoga is Fire Yoga, only one of the five basic elements. Another of Krishnamacharyas students is Iyengar. B.K.S. Iyengar style is the focus on symmetry and alignment. Symmetry and alignment are found in the introduction to Yoga Korunta, (Level 1) or, within the 1st Dimension of the Yoga Korunta practice. Today there are several styles of Yoga taught by many, each lineage that dates back to classical Yoga Korunta. AUM.

DESCRIPTION:

This is the culmination of the methods and some philosophies of Kundalini, Jnana, Kriya, Bhakti, Hatha Yogas with the emphasis on meditation on the union of mental refinement or mental mastery. Raja Yoga is one of the nine (9) Yogas within the Yoga Korunta.
