What is Afrikan Yoga Lecture SHU

16 mins

The video explains the role of Shu in Afrikan Yoga and establishes him as the true originator and bringer of Smai Tawi the ancient Kemetic science of breath, union, and yogic practice. The speaker emphasizes that many students mistakenly credit other figures, but Shu is the foundational source of the tradition. Shu is described as the raiser, the principle of air and light, and a member of the Ennead. His symbolism represents breath, life‑force, consciousness, and the energetic process of “rising up.” The lecture explains Shu’s cosmological role, his connection to the sun and moon, and his function as the bridge between life and death, symbolizing the awakening of inner energy (kundalini‑like concepts). The speaker also traces linguistic and cultural links between Shu and Shiva, showing how African (Kushite/Dravidian) influences shaped early Indian yogic traditions. Shu and his consort Tefnut are presented as the original forms of Shiva and Shakti, representing fire and water, expansion and contraction, and the balancing of dual forces. The video concludes by showing how Shu’s principles appear across cultures—including China—where “Shu” is associated with yogic ethics, non‑harm, and forgiveness.
