Who are we or What is VYASA?

VYASA, the short form of Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana is a registered society to bring the holistic vision of yoga and spiritual lore as a way of life featured by health and wealth, peace and efficiency, harmony and growth to solve the problems of the modern society and to build ideal social orders. To make yoga, one of the greatest contributions of India to world thought and culture, a socially relevant science has been the Endeavour of VYASA. For making this possible, we follow the direction given by the great saint Swami Vivekananda who pronounced that we need to combine the best of the West (modern scientific research) with the best of the East (Yoga and spiritual lore) to bring a grand harmony and peace on earth. Over the last 30 years we have been involved in extensive and in-depth research in the field of yoga and spirituality.

The present VYASA is the mother organization of S-VYASA Yoga University, in Bangalore city with a beautiful 150-acre residential Campus.

MESSAGE FROM GURUJI Dr. H.R. NAGENDRA

President, VYASA | Chancellor, S-VYASA University

It has been my life’s mission to bring the timeless wisdom of Yoga to every individual, empowering them to achieve harmony of body, mind, and spirit. Through the guidance of Swami Vivekananda’s vision, VYASA, has worked relentlessly to integrate the ancient science of Yoga with modern research and education, ensuring it serves humanity in practical and meaningful ways and now it provides trusted yoga classes in Kolkata at VYASA Kolkata.

VYASA Kolkata was established with the same purpose – to extend these benefits to the people of this vibrant city and its surrounding communities. Here, we are committed to not only teaching Yoga as a physical practice, but also as a holistic lifestyle that nurtures mental health, emotional stability, and spiritual growth. Our initiatives include community yoga classes, wellness programs, yoga therapy for chronic conditions, professional yoga teacher training, and collaborations with schools, corporates, and healthcare institutions.

In a fast-paced world filled with stress and imbalance, VYASA Kolkata serves as a sanctuary where ancient wisdom meets scientific validation. Together, we can build a healthier, more mindful society – one individual at a time.

Let us walk this path of transformation and service, hand in hand, for the greater good of all.

MESSAGE FROM Dr. ABHIJIT GHOSH

Director, VYASA Kolkata

At VYASA Kolkata, our mission is rooted in service to the community – to help individuals discover the transformative power of Yoga in restoring balance, health, and inner peace. Inspired by the guidance of Padmashri Dr. H. R. Nagendra and the principles of Swami Vivekananda, we work to blend ancient traditions with modern scientific approaches so that Yoga becomes a practical tool for everyone, regardless of age or background.

Since its inception, VYASA Kolkata has been more than a Yoga studio in Kolkata – it is a space where people come to heal, learn, and grow. We provide therapeutic Yoga for chronic ailments, structured training for aspiring Yoga professionals, wellness programs for schools and corporates, and outreach activities for underserved communities. Every initiative is designed to touch lives and contribute to a healthier, happier society.

I believe that when individuals learn to connect with themselves deeply, they naturally extend that harmony to their families, workplaces, and communities. My vision for VYASA Kolkata is to be a guiding light in this journey, helping every person unlock their highest potential through the timeless science of Yoga.
