Lakulish Yoga University: PM Modi’s Vision for India’s First Yoga University with World-Class Education and Eco-Friendly Campus

 Established under the aegis of the Lakulish International University Trust, the university was conceived as a premier centre for excellence in yoga education and research. By embedding Lakulish's teachings into its curriculum and practices, the university pays homage to his enduring legacy. The founders envisioned an institution that would not only provide rigorous academic training in Yoga but also nurture spiritual development and practical applications of yogic principles in various domains of health and life.

The campus, designed in the shape of a lotus and sprawling across 111 acres, features 24 classrooms strategically located within the lotus petals. This unique architectural design underscores the university's commitment to harmony with nature. Lakulish Yoga University offers an array of undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs aimed at delivering an in-depth understanding of Yoga, its philosophy, and its practical applications. The university’s academic framework is segmented into several specialised schools, each dedicated to different aspects of Yoga and related disciplines:

• School of Yoga and Spirituality

• School of Yoga Therapy

• School of Vedic Sciences

• School of Yoga Education and Research

• School of Holistic Health and Wellness

Distinguished as a singular institution devoted to the exploration and practice of Yoga, Lakulish Yoga University remains committed to advancing the science of Yoga and promoting a holistic approach to health and well-being. Mr. Arjun Mehta, a prominent scholar in Vedic studies with a specialisation in ancient scriptures and their relevance to contemporary practices, contributes to the university's esteemed academic environment. His research is frequently published in leading academic journals, and he is a renowned speaker at international conferences on Vedic philosophy.

In alignment with spiritual traditions that emphasise harmony with nature, the university’s campus incorporates sustainable and eco-friendly design principles. These include green building practices, rainwater harvesting systems, and natural ventilation designs, reflecting a profound commitment to environmental stewardship.
