FOUNDER DIRECTOR - DR. NITIN UNKULE

Health Beyond Medicine, our prime aim:

Keeping in view, the changing scenario in health and medicine, in life-style, in food habits, pollution and population, environment and attitudes, war and crime; we at Kaivalya Yoga Institute and Dr. Nitin Unkule's Bramhavidya Research Foundation; have been promoting Yoga, Vedanta and ancient Indian Scriptural Text-Books and Indian Mythology all over the world over the past 40 years.

Simply because we believe that "The need of the millennium, however, is not only to achieve medical excellence in curing the sick, but also and perhaps more importantly, to prevent people from becoming sick in the first place". And people should know that there are valid alternatives to drugs, radiation and surgery.

The biggest killer in the world today, accounting for over 80% deaths worldwide, is not war, infection or natural calamities; the biggest killer is modern lifestyle. Lack of physical activity, obesity, a high fat diet, stress and tension, alcohol and smoking are lifestyle factors that innocently manifest themselves as High BP, Diabetes, Hyper cholesterol and other ailments and then without warning, strike fatally as Heart Attacks (which accounts for approx. 60% deaths) and Cancer (which accounts for 20% deaths). Other lifestyle killers include accidents and even AIDS, which results due to lack of safety compliance.

We aim at enhancing understanding of modern degenerative diseases (arthritis, joint problems, Obesity, Anxiety, Depression, Cardiac, Cancer, AIDS etc.) & learning about their lifestyle connection. Holistic approach can be used in Hospitals & Clinics (in Medical Check-ups as a preventive Medicine in cases of early detection of ailments). It can also be used in Secondary & Tertiary Hospital Care to enable inpatients & outpatients to achieve optimal levels of health to promote healing. Recent research of Corporate Organisations in India have related alarming health statistics as a result of the stresses caused by globalisation & the open market system.

Yoga and Vedanta is a profound Spiritual science that has its roots in the ancient wisdom of India. There exits in every person a place that is free from Disease or ailment or disorder, that never feels pain, that cannot age or die. This is the place called perfect health, viz. Physical health to work and enjoy life till allotted span, pathological fitness to understand how body is a great pharmacy that GOD has ever devised under the Sun, perfect psychological balance and mental equipoise to experience how peace of mind and happiness is evident all the life, excellent mental strength and stamina to fight all odds in life and a spiritual health to know who you are and your connection with the world around you and what is consciousness or awareness. And in this human body and existence is regarded as a miniature Cosmos or Universe.
