Tystnadens yoga är kunskapsbaserad (epistemologi) och är till sitt innehåll knutet till icke-dualismens filosofi. Tankeläran icke-dualism (eller advaita) har kopplats samman med monism. Yoga of Silence (tystnadens yoga) har grundats och etablerats av advaita-mästaren Madhukar.

Advaita means Not-Two = Non-Duality, Vedanta: End of knowledge. Freely translated, this means that all knowledge comes to its end in the experience of Non-Duality of mind and matter.

Visitor: What keeps me from being happy? Do I need somebody to transfer the truth on me in order to realize it or does it take place inside of me? Do I need such a Guru, yes?

In Indian philosophy and in the spiritual teachings deriving from it, Satsang is the company of persons who strive for the highest insight by listening, talking, thinking about and immersing in the teaching together.

Specially in Advaita Vedanta it is regarded to be necessary to listen to and reflect the teaching referred to as truth.
