Hierarchy & Schools of Aaiyyanism
Aaiyyanism does not impose a single rigid hierarchy. Each school has its own structure, sub-schools and internal paths.
The Green School. Ayurvedic medicine, environmental care, herb and plant-based prayer, divination. Usually found in the countryside of Southern India.
The Pure School. Healing, divination, exorcism, meditation and Jnana Yoga. Strict monastic lifestyle in mountainous retreats.
The Martial School. Ancient weapons, strategies and martial arts. Strict focus on mind-body control through advanced yogic techniques.
The Tantric School. Carnal-centred philosophy (Vamamarga) as a means to liberation. Practitioners are usually wandering sannyasin.
The School of Pacifism. Believers in Satyagraha (truth force) and ahimsa (nonviolence). Many practitioners involved in civil rights worldwide.
The Art School. Poetry, painting and sculpture for Aaiyyanist temples, specialising in healing paintings.
The School of Nothing. Solitary hermits performing no rituals, practising perfecting lucid dreaming.
The Worker School. Members work in society but retreat to the Ashram regularly. Focused on the yogic practice of action and charity.
One of the oldest sub-schools, devoted to Lord Shiva as the teacher of Murugan. Follows rigorous self-discipline and transformation, culminating in the highest-order Yantras.
The Holistic School, formed by the Aaiyyan World Foundation. Reflects the diversity of all members following both Tantric and non-Tantric paths. All Foundation members belong to this school.
