Prelude

Prajna Institute of Yoga and Allied Sciences (PIYAS) is a knowledge based

organisation which has successfully married the Ancient wisdoms like Yoga, Nature
Cure and other drugless systems of medicine with the understanding of Modern
Scientific knowledge to create a unique, integrated and holistic approach to Health
and Disease. The various programs, especially UTSAV program, have materialised out
of experiments and experiences of more than one million people from around the
world in the last twenty five years.

Introduction – The need for Stress management with a Holistic approach

Modern world has witnessed tremendous advancement of science and technology but
has also brought diseases, problems and sufferings unknown to man in the past. Life
expectancy has increased but number of diseases too has increased manifold. Health
is the greatest concern and disease the greatest threat in the modern age. The cost
of managing disease is increasing at an alarming rate due to advent of modern
medicines and complex machines and specializations. The present day symptomatic
treatment, adverse side effects and rising cost of treatment and medication, global
warming, ever increasing pollution and other disease attracting conditions have forced
human race to revive their interests in the ancient wisdoms i.e. Yoga, Nature Cure,
Ayurveda, Acupuncture etc. All these ancient holistic practices that are together
known as alternative /supplementary systems of medicine have now attracted global
attention.

Modern Age is both Age of Anxiety and Age of Information. This information and
anxiety has disintegrated man with abundance of riches in the outer space and
created poverty in the inner space. He has modern gadgets, tools and resources at his
disposal but lost natural skills, attitude, knowledge and wisdom to live with health,
harmony and happiness. The ancient wisdoms created a healthy society without the
help of modern medication, pills, surgery and organ transplant as they knew The Art
of Healthy Living – Living, Moving and Acting in Health, Harmony and Happiness.

PIYAS approach

The approach of PIYAS is Whol(e)istic. Holistic Health is an integrated approach

towards Life. It is an integration of Outer and Inner space. The ancient wisdom of
moving from Outer Space to Inner Peace had been well known, which the science
knew only since few decades as Psychosomatic and Stress induced disorders. Health is
not only Physical health but Mental, Social and Spiritual health also.
