In search of reality, Dr. H R Nagendra found that the Modern Science has only touched the physical and creation has many subtle and causal dimensions which ancient seers of India had fathomed, realized, documented and time tested for its usefulness. So he jumped into this wisdom contained in Upanishads of Yoga and spiritual lore. He was fascinated by the teachings of Swami Vivekananda who brought out this great wisdom in modern terminology and urged to ‘Combine the Best of the East with that of the West’. Later on, he was asked by the UGC to bring the wisdom of Yoga to University campuses and the VYASA had 9 campuses in which Yoga Centers were established. With the success story growing further, the UGC accorded a Deemed-to-be University status in 2002 to S-VYASA for which he became the first Vice-Chancellor. He has been the guiding force behind the VYASA movement, and is now the Chancellor of S-VYASA University.
