Vice-President Radhakrishnan Addresses Gordhandas Seksaria College of Yoga and Cultural Synthesis

Vice-President C. P. Radhakrishnan today addressed the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of the Gordhandas Seksaria College of Yoga and Cultural Synthesis at Kaivalyadhama, Lonavala, Maharashtra.

He congratulated the College on completing 75 years of dedicated service to Yoga education, research and cultural synthesis. He noted that the occasion was especially significant as Kaivalyadhama itself has completed a century of dedicated service to Yoga.

Recalling the contribution of Swami Kuvalayananda, who founded Kaivalyadhama in 1924, the Vice-President said that he pioneered the scientific study of Yoga at a time when it was largely viewed as a mystical practice. He emphasised that the legacies of the past must be preserved and carried forward for future generations. “Yoga is not for one generation; it is for every generation to come,” he said.

Governor of Maharashtra Jishnu Dev Varma, former Union Minister and Chairman of Kaivalyadhama Global Suresh Prabhu, CEO of Kaivalyadhama Global Subodh Tiwari, Chief Patron Shri Rakesh Seksaria, faculty members, students, alumni and other dignitaries were present on the occasion.(updated on 18th sept 2026)
