Five Tibetan Rites - What are the Five Tibetan Rites?

The Five Tibetan Rites is a system of exercises reported to be more than 2,500 years old which were first publicized by Peter Kelder in a 1939 publication entitled The Eye of Revelation. Although practically nothing is known about Kelder, one source reports that Kelder was raised as an adopted child in the midwestern United States, and left home while still in his teens in search of adventure. In the 1930s, Kelder claims to have met, in southern California, a retired British army colonel who shared with him stories of travel and the subsequent discovery of the Five Tibetan Rites. Originally written as a 32-page booklet, the publication is the result of Kelder's conversations with the colonel. The Five Tibetan Rites are said to be a form of Tibetan yoga similar to the more well-known yoga series that originated in India.

The Five Tibetan Rites are also referred to as "The Five Rites", "The Five Tibetans", and "The Five Rites of Rejuvenation".
