The Kaivalyadhama Health and Yoga Research Center (abbreviated Kdham) is a spiritual, therapeutic, and research center with a specific aim to coordinate ancient yogic arts and tradition with modern science.〔("Tune in to the Yogic way" ), ''The Times Of India'', Mumbai, 25 October 2004. Retrieved on 12 November 2012.〕 Kdham is located in Lonavla, Maharashtra, India, with smaller branches elsewhere in India, France, and the United States. Kdham performs scientific and philosophico-literary research as well as provides Yogic and Ayurvedic healthcare and education. It also houses a Naturopathy center. Kdham hosts approximately 250 students per year for its various courses. Students come from India and abroad, primarily from China, Japan, Korea, France, United States, and Canada. Kdham is a public charitable trust which receives some funding from the Government of India. ==History== Kdham was established in 1924 by Swami Kuvalayananda in Lonavla, Maharashtra, India. Swami Kuvalayananda led the facility, which was primarily used to further his scientific research into the yogic arts, until his death in 1966.〔Wathen, Grace ("KAIVALYADHAMA & YOGA POSTURES" ), ''Livestrong.com'', Austin, 1 July 2011. Retrieved on 12 November 2012.〕 Kdham publishes the quarterly Yoga Mimamsa journal, which Swami Kuvalayananda also founded in 1924. In 1944, the Philosophico-Literary Research Department was created in order to explore the interpretation and translation of traditional yogic texts. To help train others in the theoretical and practical aspects of yoga, the Gordhandhas Seksaria College Of Yoga and Cultural Synthesis was opened in 1951. The College was named after Gordhandas Seksaria, the father of donor Sheth Makhanlal Seksaria. Shri B. G. Kher, the then Chief Minister of Bombay State, formally inaugurated the college in October 1951. The first convocation was held in May 1953 where Shri H.V. Divetia, Vice-Chancellor of Gujarat University, delivered the convocational address. In 1962, Kdham was declared an All India Institute of Higher Education by India's Ministry of Education. In 2004, India's Human Resource Development Ministry affirmed it as a national resource center for the introduction of yoga in schools. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kaivalyadhama Health and Yoga Research Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
