Both Indic and non-Indic systems of knowledge have given authenticity a primal place. However, authenticity can be described and justified differently depending on the theory and/or praxis of a system of knowledge. Indic knowledge systems, especially Yoga, stress the importance of experience and the means to the experience as an indispensable bedrock of authenticity, without neglecting scholarship.  However, scholars and practitioners look at authenticity very differently like the way tourists and residents experience a city. Often  Yoga studies suffer the defect of the lack of practice and experience.  And conversely, the practitioners’ perspectives suffer from the defect of downplaying scholarship, especially that Yoga gives primacy to experience. The author will present the problems of authenticity encountered in his Yoga research.
