International conference on
SCIENCE AND ARTS OF YOGA : THEORY AND PRACTICE
(YOGA,HEALTH AND MANAGEMENT)
24-27 February, 2016

Dear Scholar/Mr./Ms..

Regards.

Aswe all know the word Yoga has great prestige value. It is frequently associated
with the acquisition and exhibition of supernatural powers. It is customary to look at yoga
as a curious ancient teachings, which combines a set of religious beliefs with a strange and
mysterious practical discipline. To the orthodox Hindu mind, it represents something very
high, beyond the ken of the man on the street-indeed, something very auspicious and to be
achieved only by virtue (puya) gathered over many past lives. It is an amazing fact that,
even in the land of yoga, superstitious and fanciful notions of the subjects seem to have of
its aspects. The reasons for this profound ignorance are not far to seek.

First, yoga is full of facts of which the scientific background is as yet very imperfectly
understood. Years ago it was very hard going to say that the subject of yoga has
implications, which could be approached with modern scientific procedures. Thanks are
due to the pioneering efforts made by Swami Kuvalayanandato arouse an interest in yogic
research. This approach is not yet fully developed, however, and much experimental work
will be required before we can assess the value of claims made by the followers of yoga.
Many of its concepts are indeed still enveloped in obscurity. Second, it is the lesser
followers of yoga who usually emerge before the masses as Yogins, and what they say
and do becomes popularly known as yoga. Third, there is no general agreement among
present-day workers in the field about the subject matter of yoga itself. Until this is
achieved on the basis of scientific information, yoga is bound to be mixed up with myth and
superstition.Recently the first World Yoga Day was celebrated on 21st June 2015. On this
day our beloved Prime Minister appreciated the universal relevance of Yoga. In his words:
"Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition. This tradition is 5000 years old. It
embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfilment; harmony
between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about

exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By
changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help us deal with climate change. Let
us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day."

On the back drop of this introduction,we propose to give a platform to


Doctors,Psychologists, YogicPractitionersand teachers of Yoga ,management experts to
come together and deliberate upon a theme of commoninterest, by organising an
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE. The presentation in the conference will be three
dimensional-theoretical, practical or experimental and therapeutic. Primarily Yoga
Philosophy in theory on the basis of Indian Text traditions will be discussed. For practical
aspects it will concentrate on different trends and traditions of Yoga -eastern as well as
western. For example different methods of meditation, practice of sanasor meditation
etc. in Chaina, Korea, Japan, Tibet, Varma, Srilanka from outside India and Jainas, Baudhas
from India will be highlighted.

1. The treatment of the theme will be multi-dimensional namely,


logical,epistemological,psychological, spiritual, metaphysical and biological.
The prime objective of the Seminar will be to present and prepare authentic
textual materials to enhance the theoretical knowledge domain of Yoga thus
preparing a tool of reference for yoga practitioner.
2. To try to establish a link between western and eastern method of Yoga in theory
andpractice.

3. To re-examine and re establish or otherwise the claims of the yogic


practitioners regardingthe scientific basis of Yoga in attending all needs-
