This Division offers short-term courses and elective courses (to be chosen by MSc and PhD students). The Department of Health Sciences is attached with a 160 beds yoga therapy Health Home (Arogyadhama) meant to not only treat the yoga therapy participants (we do not call them patients) suffering from various modern ailments but also draw normal persons for prevention of possible illness and promotion of positive health by the Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy (IAYT). The students will not only acquire theoretical knowledge and practical experience by their own yoga practices but also get the rich experience of working with doctors, senior yoga therapists and with the yoga therapy participants. Handling them under severe conditions of the diseases immensely help them to become confident of their learning and usefulness of IAYT. The research section with modern gadgets helps them to measure the changes in these participants to assess the improvements. The Department of Bio-Sciences includes the following laboratories: the psychophysiology, Neuro-psychology, sleep lab, metabolic analyzer lab, immune lab, bio-chemistry and psychology labs. It is here that the students get the necessary training to do research of international standards. The modern scientific research is applied to esoteric dimensions of tradition as well as investigations into the paranormal. Essentially this department is meant for the basic research to understand the effects of various yoga practices on human systems. The Department of Natural Sciences has 8 sections encompassing a large spectrum of living systems and their changes due to interactions with human beings. The effect of Agnihotra, Sound, Music, Vedic chanting etc. on plants and animals is studied in great detail in this department. The department includes agricultural farms, gardens, forests, horticultural plants and a GoSala with more than 100 cows. The usefulness of cowdung, Gomutra or urine of cows as possible medicines is also studied.

    YOGA ITS BASIS AND APPLICATIONS
    (SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-08) Nagendra H.R.
    A team of mountaineering experts had undertaken a search for the giantsnow- man, cyeti}, in the Himalayas. The team was out to get information regarding his lifestyle. Teti, reported to be a nine footer with each of his feet measuring two feet, was not seen too frequently even by the people living at the foothills of the Himalayan range. Teti had found a safe refuge in the wilderness of the icy Himalayan peaks. This giant-killer and man-eater, during his maiden visits, carried away a lamb or a hen from the outskirts of the villages; at times some children living in the foothill villages never returned home at night. The villagers suspected Teti of kidnapping their children for his food! Without shooting him down, information had to be collected by team-members. Thus, the task of the team was tricky, delicate and adventurous. But the search did not yield the desired result and still continues.

    YOGA FOR ARTHRITIS
    (SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-07) Nagarathna R.; Nagendra H.R.
    Pain in the joints is a common problem which may vary from a minor discomfort to a disabling chronic problem affecting the quality of life to a great extent. The biomedical inventions have given great mobility and functional ability for damaged joints. It is not unusual to find persons with 10 to 20 joints (small and big) replaced as and when the joints get damaged, which has helped them to live their lives in comfort. Thanks to fascinating advances in medication too, which has definitely saved an arthritic from the devastating side effects of steroids. But, have we hit the nail on its head? Have we been able to cure or prevent joint diseases? The answer is a clear 'No' Increasing problems of aging changes in the joints, are expected even as our life expectancy and longevity have increased all round the globe. But what about the other types of arthritidis which are hitting younger persons? Rheumatoid arthritis, a disease of temperate climates, is still an enigma as we have not been able to remove the root cause of the disease.
