21st INCOFYRA

Abstract

My dear brothers and sisters... I extend a warm welcome and congratulate all of you for participating in this unique gathering- The International Conference on Frontiers in Yoga Research and its Applications (INCOFYRA), from Jan 3 – 7, 2016 organised by VYASA, Bengaluru. The theme for this 21st version of INCOFYRA, ‘Integrating the Best of the East with the Best of the West in Medical practice’, is of high relevance for addressing general health problems worldwide. The focus of the scientific sessions will be on covering the latest trends in prevention, management and rehabilitation of ills associated with major Non-Communicable diseases like Diabetes, Hypertension, Cardiovascular disease and Cancer. The conference is expected to bolster the integration discussion by bringing experts, in medical practice and research, from Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy and Modern Medicine on a common platform. The importance of doing this is corroborated due to backing by visionaries, prominent among them Shri Narendra Modi Ji, Honourable Prime Minister of India, who will be inaugurating this milestone event.
