Vigyan Yoga

Biography

I was born on 15 March 1967, in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, to Prem Narayan Shukla and Gayatri Devi. After acquiring primary and secondary education at the government school in my village, I moved away from the village and enrolled for graduation. Thereafter, I completed my post graduation degree in Economics, in 1987, from Allahabad University. Next, I sought admission in the M Phil programme at the prestigious Delhi School of Economics. Little did I know that my life was about to take a 360 degree turn. After a chance encounter with my future Guru at this institution, I decided to quit studying Economics. Instead, I joined the world-renowned Bihar School of Yoga, in 1988. I studied there until 1991. I pursued and completed an MA as well as PhD degree in Yogic Science. During the course of yogic studies, I got deep insights into Indian and Western philosophies, and understood the essence of spiritualism from my enlightened great guru, Saint Abhilash Saheb. I realised that the purpose of my life is to attain self enlightenment and serve humanity. I started my own Yoga institute in New Delhi—Kaushal Yoga Institute—with the aim of serving my fellow beings, in India and abroad, through the science of Yoga.
