The Himalayan Swami Sivananda was a doctor who trained many swamis during the
60's and the 70's. Some of his most notable students include: Swami Satchitananda
(who taught the Om Shanti chant to Woodstock), swami Sivananada Radha (the woman
who explored the connection between psychology and yoga), Swami Vishnudevananada,
who wrote the Illustrated book of Yoga.Yogi Bhajan started teaching the controversial
Kundalini Yoga in the 70's. He also founded the 3HO organization (Healthy, Happy,
Holy) of which there are 200 centers worldwide. There was also the great Sri
Krishnamacharya, who taught Viniyoga Hatha-Yoga. The Viniyoga tradition is continued
by his son, Desikachar. B.K.S. Iyengar (Desikachar's brother-in-law) also continues
teaching Viniyoga Hatha-Yoga and had quite a large following. Living masters
today include Sathya Sai Baba, whose followers number in the millions and Swami
Satyananada, founder of the Bihar School of Yoga.
In conclusion, yoga is the most diversified spiritual practice
in the world. Crossing over many cultures (including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism
and the West), yoga also extends over multiple languages such as Hindi, Tibetan,
Bengali, Sanskrit, Tamil, Prakit, Marathi and Pali. The yogic tradition continues
to proliferate and spread its message of peace to this very day.
