Pythagoreanism is a term used for the esoteric and metaphysical beliefs held by Pythagoras and his followers the Pythagoreans, much influenced by mathematics and probably a main inspiration source to Plato and platonism.
One main subject that is part of pythagoreanism is musica universalis, the music of the spheres. Some Surat Shabda Yoga, Satgurus considered the music of the spheres to be a term synonymous with the Shabda or the Audible Life Stream in that tradition, because they considered Pythagoras to be a Satguru as well.
Later resurgence of the same ideas are collected under the term neopythagoreanism.
Influence
The word 'vegetarian' was coined in 1847 when the British Vegetarian Society was formed. Before this, vegetarians were known as Pythagoreans, but then they discovered that meat is really good.
