Description
Welcome to the Agni Yoga Discusssion Forum!
What is Agni Yoga? It is a supreme synthesis of all highest yogas but Karma Yoga is an essential part of it. Agni Yoga is the path of a conscious altruism, of balance between self-improvement and service for the Common Good. It is the most recent and at the same time is the most ancient of all yogas. It is the ultimate shortcut to knowing oneself and to highest worlds. It is the path of all Messengers of Light, a common spiritual denominator cutting across nations, centuries, cultures and civilizations.
Agni Yoga is a path of Beauty, Love and Knowledge pursued consciously and in a balanced, commensurate way, full of Joy and Happiness. Agni Yoga emphasizes the importance of Joy as a conscious, active perception of Beauty, Love and Knowledge. Joy is the supreme wisdom.
The recent Agni Yoga series was written by the Masters of Wisdom of the Orient first through Helena Blavatsky (then
called "Secret Doctrine"), then Francia La Dew ( "The Teaching of the Temple"), next through the Roerichs family ("Agni Yoga, the Teaching of Living Ethics").
The Forum has never been moderated and the rule of the game was that everyone should follow the principles of Beauty (no foul language, no boring intellectualizing, no personal attacks), Love (humility, compassion, mutual respect, kindness, friendliness, brotherly attitude), and Knowledge (sharing personal experience and knowledge, free thinking, open-mindedness).
Agni Yoga followers are very tolerant to other paths and use the criterion "by their fruits shall ye recognize them" for making judgements about them. Mahayana Buddhism and Sufism are the closest paths to AY but there are many others which share our values.
