The Five Tibetan Rites is a system of exercises reported to be more than 2,500 years old〔Kelder, Peter: ''The Eye of Revelation''. The New Era Press, Burbank, CA; (1939)〕 which were first publicized by Peter Kelder in a 1939 publication titled ''The Eye of Revelation''.〔Kelder, Peter: ''The Eye of Revelation''; (1946), ''The Eye of Revelation, edited by J. W. Watt.'' Booklocker.com, Inc., 1st reprint edition (January 10, 2008).〕 The Rites are said to be a form of Tibetan yoga similar to the yoga series that originated in India.〔(Yoga Journal: The Tang of Tibet )〕 However, the Five Rites and traditional Tibetan yoga both emphasize "a continuous sequence of movement" (Sanskrit: vinyasa), whereas Indian forms focus on "static positions". Although the Rites have circulated amongst yogis for decades, skeptics say that Tibetans have never recognized them as being authentic Tibetan practices.〔 The Five Tibetan Rites are also referred to as "The Five Rites", "The Five Tibetans" and "The Five Rites of Rejuvenation".〔 ==Publication== Although practically nothing is known about Kelder,〔 one source reports that he was raised as an adopted child in the mid-western United States and left home while in his teens in search of adventure.〔Kelder, Peter & Bernie S. Siegel, M.D.: ''Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth: Book 2''. DoubleDay (January 19, 1999)〕 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 Rites.〔〔Kelder, Peter: ''The Eye of Revelation''.
