Virupa, known as the "Lord of Yoga," is one of the most celebrated of the eighty-four Mahasiddhas of ancient India. Historically, a scholar-monk at Nalanda University, he abandoned formal monasticism to pursue the direct, non-dual realization of Vajrayana. His teachings laid the foundation for the Margaphala (Path and Fruit) system, which remains the core spiritual inheritance of the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism.
