Description
Rudra B Bhandari and Sadhvi Devpriya present the University of Patanjali as a model yoga university. Their 2026 article describes an institution in Uttarakhand founded in 2006 under a state act, funded by the Patanjali Yogpeeth trust, and named for the sage Patanjali. Its founders were the yoga teacher Swami Ramdev and the Ayurveda scholar Acharya Balkrishna, and its charter joins yoga, Ayurveda, and Vedic wisdom with modern science.
The authors recount wide consultation with community members, teachers, scientists, officials, and businesses while the university shaped its courses. The institution holds recognition under India's university grants law and tax act, and in 2024 it won an A+ grade with a high score in its first national accreditation review. Its stated mission reaches beyond campus: graduates who are skilled, healthy, and socially minded, and campus life steeped in Vedic practice, in service of quality education goals.
