Siva Samhita has come to be known as one of the three source texts for the Hatha Yoga tradition. However, it is largely unknown to the world for its clear exposition of the subject of atmajnana or Self-Knowledge consistent with the tradition of the Upanisad-s and Advaita Vedanta as taught by Sankaracarya. The significant departure from the teachings of the Hatha Yoga tradition will be obvious to anyone who studies its first chapter of the Siva Samhita are very much rooted in the Advaita Vedanta tradition but modern scholars and traditional teachers of Advaita Vedanta have yet to discover its worthiness as an authentic Prakarana Grantha. Among its five chapters, only the first chapter is comprehensive about Vedanta, within the larger context of Sanatana Dharma unfolding the two lifestyles of pravrtti and nivrtti.
