Abstract
Life is nothing but a time length between birth and death and it is in the co-ordination of
self, society, and nature. The purpose of life is achieving perfection in one`s own wisdom
and realization of divinity .This can be achieved through regular practice of yoga which
is the main tool box to achieve the ultimate goal of our life. Kaya human body, kalpa
long period of time, yoga unison, link, integrity and maintaining hormony between self,
society and nature. Kayakalpa yoga is the rejuvenating technique discovered by
Vethathiri Maharishi in an easily understandable way. Kayakalpa yoga is a complete
science which integrates physics, biology, physiology, philosophy, genetics and yoga.
Vethathiri maharishis kayakalpa philosophy includes Body, Life-force, Bio-magnetism,
Mind, and Sexual vital fluid. PCOS means poly cystic ovarian syndrome. PCOS affects
510% of women in reproductive age. It is known as hyper androgenic chronic
anovulation. It is a benign disorder which is one of the leading causes of female
infertility. Polycystic ovarian syndrome mostly causes an ovulatory infertility.
Management of infertility in PCOS includes life style modification, as well as Vethathiri
Maharishi`s Kayakalpa yogic technique. My research study is aimed to control the
physiological and psychological changes in PCOS women and to cure infertility by
practicing Kayakalpa technique regularly.
