Three are the traditions or sampradaya taught at the Svami Gitananda Ashram.

1- Saiva siddhanta: this cult is widespread in the southern part of India, particularly in the Tamil Nadu and it is also called shuddha shaiva or pure saivismo. Today it is considered among the most important philosophical-doctrinal systems. Its teachings come from the 28 Agama and from the instructions of the line of the 18 siddha mystics. Its developmental practice is expressed through the precious siddhanta yoga.

2- Samaya Cult: it is considered the most refined and complete shakta tradition in the tantra. Its cult is focused on the adoration of the Divine Mother, symbolised by the Sri Cakra or Sri Yantra or rather the excellent mystical diagram representing the powers of the Mother in graphic form. Its authority is expressed in the scriptures of the Devi Agama, its yoga methodology is in the whole tantric system of laya yoga or kundalini yoga. The Datta Avadhuta and the Dakshinamurti Sampradaya of the Kadi tradition are performed at the Svami Gitananda Ashram.

3- Giri dasanami: dasanami are the ten monastic orders codified by Sri Adi Sankara. The various religious orders are traditionally associated to four Math: Sringeri, Durak, Puri, Jotismath. Only the Heads of these Math can confer upon themselves the title of Shankaracharya. Anybody else using this title does it without authorization (read important announcement).
