Swami Kuvalyananda Founder, kaivalyadhama yoga institutions

Very often philosophical gymnastics is mistaken for spiritual knowledge.

It is to be remembered, however, that no intellectual conviction or philosophical training will take an individual even a whit nearer to the lord. Practical experiences in the sublime region of ‘adhyatma’ alone count. These experiences can definitely be made possible through the psycho physiological processes of yoga.

MESSAGE It is a great pleasure to present Annual report for year 2015-16. The founder said that he has brought up this institution out of nothing and if it goes to nothing I don’t mind, but Yog should not be diluted.

We are totally committed to this. We are trying to preserve the soul of Yoga as it is. May be in the digital time we are trying to cope with progress which is made in Research field. We are trying to project in short every aspect of our activity in the report. Kaivalyadhama is progressively developing in the field of Research, Training & Therapy. New construction has come up. Demands are increasing. We are

trying our best to cope with but still there is much to be done. There is lot of scope for enriching our knowledge in all departments. We always remain thankful for Government of India & State Government of India for their kind support without which we are not as we are.

2. The status of yoga teacher profession It was repeatedly brought to the attention during all discussions that the financial limitations and low societal status inhibit many able people from going into the field of yogic teaching. Moreover it was recognized that the profession of yoga teacher has no future in it. The image of spirituality and practicing yogis therefore is

4. The role of yoga in higher education The importance of yoga in education is not only relevant at the primary and secondary school levels, but is also relevant for students as they mature and continues to pursue their education at higher learning institutes.

5. Yoga in family Some of the most important elements in social life have strong family and community ties. The findings of the focus group suggested that the goal to promote yoga in schools would be greatly fortified through family encouragement and involvement.

4. Yoga chairs should be established in recognized international institutions through Ministry of AYUSH and other Ministries of Government of India.

5. Specialized modules for teachers should be prepared and training given to improve their health, efficiency and self -awareness.

Foot deformities cause an abnormal change in the metatarsal bone structure affecting overall body structure and balance. This leads to premature fatigue, back pain, lack of balance and flexibility, and decreased body efficacy. As yoga postures foster balanced mobility to the spine by lengthening and widening the constricted or stiff muscles, as well as strengthening the underutilized thoracic muscles of the back, yoga can be useful in the management of symptoms associated with foot deformity.

B. Gayatri on Origin of Universe: A Cosmic AUM Modulation Model This theoretical article deals about the AUM as origin of first line of Gayatri Mantra that relates the astrophysical essence of Bhuh, Bhuvah and Svah aspect of Gayatri phenomena. It as an outcome of modulation of three lettered AUM syllabus in the first line of Gayatri Mantra (GM) and proposes Gayatri phenomena as Matter–Energy-Radiation (M-E-R) interaction within Space-Time Curvature (STC). The AUM is proposed as Infinite Cosmic Ethereal Energy Coherent Fundamental Oscillation (ICEECFO), a fundamental vibration earlier modulated to create microscopic mater-energy content of universe by Quantum Vacuum (QV). The macroscopic level of M-E-R content is generated by Ether Vortex (EV) function within the STC. The study concludes

obvious that in order to negotiate this adolescent phase of intense emotional upheaval effectively in their lives, this group needs the energy and resources that empowers them to do so. Kaivalyadhama Kriyā Yoga (KKY), a largely unknown but highly effective yogic practice, could be one such means of empowerment. An integrated analysis of the impact of this yogic system of KKY hasn’t been carried out until now. The proposed project is an organized effort to scientifically document the holistic mind-body effects of KKY on high school adolescents through a multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary approach. Project status: Project was submitted to Department of Science & Technology under the special SATYAM call for applications for yoga and meditation projects. Suggested budget of the project is above Rs. 60 lacs.

The scope of the project related to yoga, as a mind-training practice with step-by-step instructions, when personalized for a particular group according to their needs and capacities, having the potential to play an important role in continuously rewiring the brain through the principle of neuro-plasticity. Thus, a collaborative research project was undertaken with a local school for special children, Samvaad Shaala, in order to expand the reach of yoga training to non-mainstream schools as well.

The objective of the research project with special children was to explore and document, even if on a small

The project involved case studies of four children, who were on the “mild-moderate intellectual disability” level as per standard intelligence testing. The yoga training for these children was conducted five days/week for approximately one hour/day for five months. As part of the research study, after receiving informed consent from the school authorities and the parents of these children, certain psychological tests like the Binet-Kamat Test

Rejuvenation Program for Cancer Patients This is a broader program for individuals who have completed chemotherapy, radiation or other interventions for cancer. This is a three week program which looks at enhancing physical strength, mental health, emotional stability and spiritual energy in an individual.

CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY OF INDIA VOLUME IX Wednesday, the 31st August 1949 The Constituent Assembly of India met in the Constitution Hall, New Delhi, at Nine of the Clock , Mr. President in the Chair ( Hon’ble Dr. Rajendra Prasad) Discussion between D r. B.R. Ambedkar and Dr. H.V. Kamath Excerpt from the speech of Dr. H.V. Kamath

With the advent of freedom and the dawn of Indian renaissance, I have no doubt in my own mind that our spiritual culture, our ancient culture, must be revived not in one direction only but in all possible directions. One objection that is levelled against spiritual culture - yogic culture especially - is that it is unscientific. Today the pioneer of scientific research in yoga, Swami Kuvalayananda, at Lonavla, is doing splendid wok in this field. I am sure that as we grow in stature, as India’s freedom grows, there will be many more institutes of this kind which will promote research in the spiritual field. It is very necessary. As Mahayogi Aurobindo said recently, the West is turning to the East for some light and guidance, and if the East fails the West today then the world is doomed. He further exhorted us saying that India should not run after the materialistic baubles of the West. It is alright to increase the standard of living, but to become merely materialistic is not all in life. The world craves something else and the world is looking towards India. It is high time we did something in this direction and showed the light to an expectant world.

I hope the Union will promote agencies under its aegis to promote not merely historical and scientific research but also research in yoga and the spiritual field on a really scientific basis, science understood in the largest and most comprehensive sense, not in the very narrow sense of having a little laboratory, test tubes, flasks, pipettes and burettes, but the real scientific outlook of experiment, the outlook of a man seeking knowledge-scio “to know”.
