Sri Patanjali Yoga Shikshana Samithi teaching yoga free of cost since 1980
Sri Pathanjali Yoga Shikshana Samithi (SPYSS) was started in 1980 as a small yoga camp at Tumakuru. Since then the organisation has grown all over Karnataka and neighbouring States like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra. Presently it has branches overseas also. Yoga is taught free in all these branches.
The organisation’s success is attributed to its Chief Convenor A.R. Ramaswamy, who was ably guided by late Ajith Kumar and mentored by Padma Vibhushan Dr. B.K.S. Iyengar with the blessings of Malladihalli Raghavendra Swamiji.
Presently, SPYSS has more than 800 branches and lakhs of people are benefited by practicing yoga daily which teaches right attitude (Samskara), team spirit (Sanghatane) and selfless service (Seva) to all Yoga bandhus.
The organisation not only teaches yoga but it also imparts yoga teachers training by conducting residential camps at District-level, State-level and many higher level camps like Atmanu Sandhana (Advance level) yoga for practitioners.
The main vision of SPYSS is to make mankind healthy physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually through yoga.
Regular Bhajans, Satsang and higher knowledge are imparted to practitioners. On special occasions like Ugadi festival, Raksha Bandhan and Guru Poornima, the yoga bandhus participate enthusiastically.
