Dr. Shivago (Jivaka Komarabhacca​) Lineage Father Doctor
What is lineage?
The word lineage is used to describe everyone who descends from a particular ancestor.
Most traditional Thai healers trace their lineage back to the "Father Doctor" Jivaka Komarabhacca, the Buddha's personal physician. In addition, one's direct lineage of teachers is considered an important indication of authenticity and a mark of high quality. The Shivagakomarpaj Lin
eage is one of the most respected and widespread line ages of Thai massage in the world today.

"Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world."
Sri Ramana Maharshi
