Siddhayoga (original) (raw)

The Tirtha lineage of Siddhayoga is a mystical sect of Shaivite Hinduism that relies on direct experience of life-force or kundalini shakti and understanding of the Shastras. It holds the guru-disciple relationship to be of primary importance. Shakti is said to be automatically infused into the disciple by the guru in a process called Shaktipat.
