Yoga Science & Consciousness Research
Bridging the ancient wisdom of yoga with the precision of modern science — for evidence-based understanding and practice.
Science Meets Ancient Wisdom
For millennia, the yogic tradition has provided a systematic framework for understanding the human mind, consciousness, and health. Today, modern science is beginning to verify what yogis have known for centuries — through neuroscience, psychology, physiology, and quantum physics.
At Kaivalya Pragya, we actively support and participate in academic research that bridges these two knowledge systems — publishing papers, conducting studies, and collaborating with universities and researchers who approach this field with intellectual rigor and spiritual sensitivity.
Dr. Sunita Rakhe's PhD in Yogdarshan and ongoing academic work serves as the foundation of our research activities. We welcome collaboration with other scholars, institutions, and independent researchers.
Areas of Research Focus
Neuroscience of Meditation
EEG and fMRI studies on brain states during different meditation techniques, including Kriya Yoga and Trataka.
