"There is one thing unique to our tradition. It links itself to an unbroken lineage of sages even beyond Shankara." - Swami Rama in Living with the Himalayan Masters.

"The Himalayan Mountains have been the home of sages for millennia.  These great sages have lived and passed on knowledge of the yogic teachings to disciples who then became masters passing on the teachings in an unbroken lineage since the Vedic period.  Twelve hundred years ago Shankaracharya organized his teaching into five centers of the Himalayan Tradition.
