AdisheshYoga

Adishesh Yoga is located on the banks of the sacred Ganga River, beneath the majestic Himalayan mountains, just beyond the heart of Rishikesh—India’s renowned yoga capital.The name Adishesha comes from two Sanskrit roots: adi, meaning “first” or “primordial,” and shesha, meaning “that which remains.” In the ancient tradition, Adishesha—also known as Ananta—is the cosmic serpent upon whom Lord Vishnu reclines, symbolizing the infinite and eternal foundation of the universe.Sage Patanjali, revered as the compiler of the Yoga Sutras, is traditionally regarded as an incarnation of Adishesha. Legends tell that Adishesha took human form as Patanjali to share the timeless sciences of yoga, grammar, and medicine with humanity.This divine lineage emphasizes Patanjali’s role as a transmitter of cosmic wisdom and spiritual knowledge. Adishesha also embodies the maha-kundalini shakti—the great serpent power that rests dormant within every being—connecting the practice of yoga to the awakening of higher consciousness.
