Welcome to
National Conference of
Indian Society for Indic Studies
(ISIS) 2014March 21st-23rd 2014
on
Integrating Yoga in Modern Education
The Indian Society for Indic Studies, a unit of D.R. Paramamitra Shastri Educational and Charitable
Trust , WCSC-VISION for Wisdom Academy, Aliyar,Tamilnadu,
and the Faculty of
Socia l Work, Mahara ja Sayaj i rao Univers i ty of Baroda, Vadodara , Gujara t , are pleased to announce a national conference to bring
together scholars, experts, educators and students from various fields to discuss and share different
topics to integrate Yoga in the Modern Education system.
Conference Centre:Faculty of Social Work, a department of the Maharaja Sayajirao University of
Baroda, Vadodara, Gujarat, India
Conference Dates:21st-23rd March 2014
Vision of ISIS2014:Our current education system predominantly promotes a materialistic and
mechanized way of life. Bringing consciousness as the foundation addresses the need for a holistic
system of education. Developing an educational model by integrating the ancient wisdom, scienceand practices of yoga will transform and bring balance to the existing education. This paradigm shift
impacts quality of all life on the planet.
Mission of ISIS2014: The conference aims at bringing together innovative thinkers and educators
from arts, sciences, humanities, policy making, management, yoga, physical training etc. to interact
and share ideas to design and develop an implementation plan for a unique Yoga Education Program
with a basic standardized curriculum. Serving as an anchoring program, it must be linked with all
other departments in any given institution. It will draw upon the successes and the challenges faced
by some of the efforts underway in India to incorporate Yoga in education. It will use the latest multi-
media interactive technology as an enabling arm. The issues coming out of the deliberations of this
conference will determine the topics for future seminars, conferences and workshops.

8/12/2019 Integrating Yoga in Modern Education
14/70
1. Yoga and its Ancient Indian Roots
Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root Yuj, which means 'to join', 'to merge'. It is defined as themerger of individual life with Brahman, the origin of all life. This literal definition makes Yoga
secular and all-inclusive globally. Rishi Patanjali, famed for his Yogasutras, taught at Takshashila,
the oldest university in the world. But over time, yoga lost its prominence in the Indian education
system because of onslaught of foreign invasions and rule. Michel Danino, an Indian author
originally from France, has articulated this issue very clearly (micheldanino. voiceofdharma.
com/colonization.html?). Under the British rule, the Indian education was strategically dismantled,
and the Western education was glorified and implemented simultaneously. But now in the 21st
century, the Western education model is facing its own challenges.
An insightful recent article in the Time magazine has identified that the higher education in USA
faces a serious conflict between "knowledge" and "know-how":(http://nation.time.com/2013/09/26/the-class-of 2025/)
We infer that India has an edge in dealing with this worldwide situation because of its inherent
receptivity to Yoga. It offers deep knowledge to understand how self, society and nature are unified,
Conference Theme :Integrating Yoga in Modern Education
and know-how to transform one's personality for living a conscious life. In this sense Yoga offers a
conflict resolution, though it requires working towards a paradigm shift.
2. Yoga: Solution to the Contemporary Crises
The development of modern science and current education system is mainly based on the
fundamental unproven assumption that nature is only 'material'. The absence of 'consciousness as
the foundation' is pointing towards a civilizational collapse as a result of the growing human
footprint. Increasing awareness about the connection between, deforestation, global warming,
water shortages, agribusiness, junk food etc., and, stress, addictions, diseases, fear, random
violence etc. can provide the much needed balance!
The growing popularity of yoga and alternate health modalities are a proof of their benefits in
making life-style changes. Yoga enables one to develop and practice tolerance, compassion for all
life, eating sattvic food, voluntary simplicity etc. to lead a contemplative life. The traditional
division of the Yoga system into Bhaktiyoga, Gyanyoga, Karmyoga, Rajyoga, elaboratedextensively by Swami Vivekananda, makes it easier for any one to reach the ultimate goal of human

Page - xiv
life that is to merge with Brahman.
3. Existing Indian Educational Institutions
Indian education system combines ancient and modern curricula to varying degree. A broad
classification of institutions is:
(i) Universities and colleges with some focus on ancient Indian culture through a department.
Some examples are:
1. Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar,
2. Dept of Sanskrit, Punjab University,
3. Dept of 'Human Consciousness and Yogic Sciences', Mangalore University
4. Dept. of Sanskrit Studies, University of Hyderabad,
5. Center for Human Excellence, Kumaraguru college of Tech, Coimbatore
(ii) Institutions that developed around the teachings of a contemporary yogi/saint/maharishi:
1. Ramakrisna Mission Vivekananda University, Belur Math (http://www.rkmvu.ac.in/)
2. S-VYASA Yoga University, Jigani, south Bangalore (http://svyasa.org/)3. Yoga for Human Excellence educational program that the World Community Service Center
(www.vethathiri.edu.in) established. Several universities and colleges in Tamil Nadu have
adopted it.
4. Sri Aurobindo International center of education
http://sriaurobindoashram.org/ashram/saice/
5. Maharishi Vidya Mandir school group. Have
primary and secondary educational programs
http://www.maharishividyamandir.com/index.
jsp.
6. J. Krishna Murti Foundation. Have 20
institutions in India. An example is the
Vasantacollege for women
.
(iii) Modern educational institutions that don't have
a department or a program in ancient Indian
culture, science and wisdom, for example,
Indian Institute of Technology, Medical schools, Regional engineering colleges etc.
4. Suggested Steps towards Integrating Yoga in the Current Education System
(i) Prepare a national policy statement to mobilize top educators, administrators and donors. (ii)Plan to educate current educators including parents. (iii) Develop a consistent and
standardized curriculum in Yoga that can be integrated with existing departments at any
institution. The integration strategy can follow the model of the 'sustainability studies
program (SSP)' at the University of New Mexico, USA, which is integrated with different
departments at the university. (iv) Introduce leadership training and skills for personal and
planetary survival, e.g., organic farming, plant-based cooking, sewing, hygiene etc. (v)
Identify dedicated, experienced and influential conference participants to carry forward this
task through future conferences and workshops.
