God is energy. ‘Divine Love’ which springs from the human heart is manifestation of this energy. This energy is normally dormant and in a sleeping state. If awakened and allowed to manifest through ‘divine love’, it purifies the body, mind and emotions. The purification process is the path of practice known as ‘shaktipat kundalini yoga.’
Our beloved Gurudev Swami Shri Kripalvanandji Maharaj known as ‘Bapuji’ who took ‘Maha Samadhi’ on December 29th, 1981, has let manifest this powerful ‘Divine Love’ energy here in Indiana since 1975.
Kripalu Yoga Clinic/Ashram in Indianapolis, Indiana, has been allowing this love energy to flow freely through the hearts of those who truly crave/yearn for ‘Divine Love.’ The spiritual programs and services of this center have been conducted through Kripalu Yoga Foundation, Inc., Since 1980.
True health is three-fold (physio, psycho, spiritual). Yoga is a three-fold health path. An ashram is a center wherein physio, psycho & spiritual health and well-being are maintained through a yogic practice living a lifestyle know as ‘Ashram Lifestyle’ or ‘Yogic Lifestyle.’
The benefits derived from the practice of Hatha Yoga are: The power of determination, imagination, thinking, logic, memory, decision and spiritual strength.
The benefits of complete yoga are: if yoga practice is followed properly, then it can increase knowledge, detachment, faith, courage, good conduct, control, devotion towards guru, active/vigor, and love for scriptures. Thus yoga help to realize God through self-realization. It helps to bring eternal peace and joy in life.
The benefits drawn from its therapeutic applications keep body weight in balance, keep body-mind-heart in harmony, cure mental, emotional and physical sicknesses and diseases, assist natural childbirth, prevent birth defects, prevent child abuse, adult abuse and suicide, prevent drug abuse and rehabilitate drug addicts, and rid of habits such as smoking and drinking caffeine and alcohol.
Yoga helps everyone in every way, depending upon one’s physiological, mental-emotional (psychological) and spiritual needs.
To help derive the benefits and to lead you on the love-serve-surrender path, we have planned various programs and services.
Call for further information on teaching programs and services.
With Love,

Mission Statement
THIS IS A SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION A MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION OF ONE GOD WE BELIEVE IN
Yogic process/Urdhvareta leads one to purify one’s ‘passion’ into ‘divine love’, thus becoming/transforming truly to be ‘compassionate’. The shifting of ‘gears’ automatically takes place from ‘rajasic’ to ‘sattvic’, evolving through ‘meditation-samadhi’ stages.
