The seven disciples, having witnessed the profound stillness of the Adiyogi, were determined to learn from him. Initially, the Adiyogi cautioned them, stating that his teachings were not for mere entertainment. However, their determination and willingness to do anything to learn from him prevailed. He began by giving them a few preparatory steps, which they followed diligently for many years.

On a significant day when the solstice was shifting from summer to winter, the Adiyogi decided to share his teachings. This day, known today as June 21st, marked the first instance when Adiyogi turned south and began to explain the intricate mechanics of being human. In recognition of this, the United Nations has declared June 21st as World Yoga Day, commemorating the birth of yoga.

The Adiyogi's teachings delved deep into understanding the human mechanism, predating all religions by millennia. He identified and opened up one hundred and twelve different ways for a human being to attain their ultimate nature. When questioned by his wife, Parvati, about why there were only 112 ways, he explained that if one is rooted in the physical body, these are the only possibilities. However, if one transcends the body, the possibilities are as numerous as the atoms in the universe.

The yogic system still adheres to these one hundred and twelve ways, as no more have been discovered despite extensive exploration by countless yogis over the centuries. These ways form the core of the yogic path, offering varied approaches to achieving spiritual realization.

After imparting this profound knowledge, the Adiyogi sent his seven disciples to different parts of the world to spread his teachings. One went to Central Asia, another to North Africa, one to South America, and another to Southeast Asia. One disciple ventured to the Indian part of the Himalayas, while another stayed with the Adiyogi. The most significant for the southern regions was Agastya Muni, who traveled to South India. Known as the father of Southern mysticism, Agastya ensured that every human habitation south of the Vindhyas in the Deccan Plateau had access to the spiritual processes initiated by the Adiyogi.

Thus, the legacy of the Adiyogi and his seven disciples began, spreading the ancient and profound wisdom of yoga across the world, transcending the boundaries of time and space, and laying the foundation for a spiritual path that continues to thrive to this day.
