The term layah means dissolution, melting away all the conditions and limitations that have arisen as a result of various events and experiences that take place throughout a person's life.
The barriers of conditioned life gradually dissolve until the soul sees the illuminating dawn of freedom and salvation (Kaivalya). Layah means to absorb or dissolve. Yoga means oneness or reconciliation. Laya Yoga is reconciliation through dissolution. One could say: the yoga of absorbing dissolution in the Spirit of God.
Laya Yoga is a form of yoga in which Oneness, the Supreme Union, also known as samadhi, is achieved through the process of laya, which can be translated by the Sufi term fana or the Buddhist term nirvana. Laya can be said to mean deep concentration (focus) resulting in the gradual dissolution and absorption of the material ego structures in the pure power of Supreme Consciousness. Laya is the process of gradual absorption of the essential energies that constitute our material being, so that Consciousness (Chittam) is freed (liberated, saved) from all that is non-spiritual, in which the divine enlightening power of Pure Spirit is hidden. It can be said that the consciousness absorbed in concentration in God, immersed in the Spirit, gradually becomes so absorbed in it that everything that is not spiritual falls away from it and is annihilated, and what remains is the indestructible being of the Eternal Spirit, the true substance and essence (Sain) of the human Being (Nara)
Dikshan, initiation into Laya Yoga, signifies the establishment of a connection between the human spirit clothed in flesh and the Eternal, Supreme, and Most Holy Spirit of God, Brahman, who remains incorporeal. The energy of initiation is the flow of the breath of the Divine Spirit and reconciliation with God in Spirit. It facilitates concentration in Spirit and Truth, as well as authentically spiritual, inspired prayer. It can be said that initiation is always a baptism in the Holy Spirit, performed for the practice of spiritual merging with God.
The Eternal Spiritual School known as the "Order of Mystery" or the "Path of Absorption" is based on the teachings and practices of Laya Yoga, transmitted in ancient times by Lord Shiva to his disciples and devotees, known as chela. Chohan (Lord) Shiva founded a total of twelve yoga lineages, which constitute complete and comprehensive systems of teaching and practice for all phases of a person's spiritual path. Laya Yoga is a lineage held by the great Mahatmas of the Ashram located in the Himavant Valley. We even call ourselves the "Light of Himavanthi."
The Laya system is one of the four main so-called Great Spiritual Paths, alongside Mantra, Hatha, and Raja Yoga. It is therefore one of the four main forms of the yogic path that exist and are possible to practice in this Dark Age called Kali Yuga. It is also worth mentioning that Lord Shiva defined these four yoga systems as Maha Yoga, when selected basic elements are practiced together. Essentially, what we offer as a public introduction to yoga is essentially Maha Yoga (Great Yoga) and can be further developed into one of the Great Spiritual Paths. Of course, the Brotherhood prefers the Eternal Path of Absorption (Laya Yoga).
The line of succession, or spiritual tradition, from which Laya Yoga originates is called Himavanti, or more precisely, the Himavanti Monastic Brotherhood (BZH). The seven-step path (marga) of spiritual growth, dissolving in the immeasurable grace of the ocean of mercy of the supreme God, is the foundation of the entire spirituality of the succession of Gurus (Spiritual Guides), who transmit one of the most ancient and esoteric forms of yogic teaching. Traditionally, at the head of the entire lineage and all its forms are Guru Shiva (the Gracious One), better known by his numerous emanations as the Revered Father, Babaji, and his consort, known as Devi Parvati (Daughter of the Mountain, or the venerable Mahatma Himavant). Acharyas ordained through spiritual transmission constitute the pillars of yoga teaching as messengers or apostles of the lineage of this Vedic laya yoga.
All Hindu and Tibetan yogas draw from this source of the finest heavenly nectar. In essence, YOGA as a spiritual path is much older than the Hindu tradition, as the latter dates back only to the 7th century AD! Laya Yoga can be called the yoga of absorption (dissolution) into the consciousness of the Great Spirit, Light, and Life. Guru Shiva, the head of the entire yogic teaching lineage, is also called Father, Baba, or even more commonly Father Master, which is Wale Baba. Guru Shiva lived and walked the earth, just like you, around 10,000-12,000 BC. That's how ancient the science of yoga is, which he discovered and founded together with his wife, Devi Parvati. He truly teaches directly only a few, most often Arhats, while he himself remains the spiritual patron of all yoga students. The abstract concept of Shiva (God's Grace), which designates the highest spiritual being in the universe, is distinguished here from the name of the yogi living on earth, whom we call Guru Shiva! The Absolute is more often referred to as Paramshiva!
Bodhidharma, who brought Vedic teachings to China via Tibet, brought the exact teachings and practices of the ancient yogis, including the Shaivite martial art of Kalaripayat, later known as Shaolin. Gautama Buddha also practiced yoga, achieved enlightenment through yoga, and proposed yoga as a universal path to liberation and salvation for human beings. Ironically, the schools of so-called Tibetan Buddhism still claim to be schools of Tibetan yoga practice, yet the term Buddhism is unknown there. The Buddha, however, is revered as a yogi who has achieved the perfect holiness of enlightening awakening. In essence, yoga practiced in all Buddhist schools is based primarily on the methods of Mantrayana and the system of Raja Yoga.
