The viniasa ashtanga yoga is a type of yoga popularized in the twentieth century by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009), who learned from his Satguru Krishnamachari (1888-1989). KrishnaNama told his disciple Jois, who had learned this yoga for seven years with his master Rama Mohan Brahmachari in the Himalayas. Brahmachari taught to memorize the text of an ancient Sanskrit text, the Yoga Karunta, which would have been written by the ancient sage Vamana Rishi. Krishna Nama Acharia, when in 1924 he left to his own guru, began researching this mysterious Karunta Yoga. After extensive research, found a copy (written in grape leaves) in the library of the University of Calcutta. Unfortunately, shortly after being found, the manuscript was completely eaten by ants and Krishnamarcharia could not preserve it.
