The Kaivalyadhama Health and Yoga Research Center (abbreviated Kaivalyadhama), founded by Swami Kuvalayananda in 1924, is a spiritual, therapeutic, and research center with a specific aim to coordinate ancient yogic arts and tradition with modern science; he founded the journal Yoga Mimamsa at the same time. Kaivalyadhama is located in Lonavla, Maharashtra, India, with smaller branches elsewhere in India, France, and the United States.

Kaivalyadhama performs scientific and philosophico-literary research as well as provides Yogic and Ayurvedic healthcare and education.

It also houses a Naturopathy center and hosts some 250 students per year for its various courses. Students come from India and abroad, primarily from China, Japan, Korea, France, United States, and Canada.

Kaivalyadhama is a public charitable trust which receives some funding from the Government of India.

History

Kaivalyadhama was established in 1924 by Swami Kuvalayananda in Lonavla, Maharashtra, India. Swami Kuvalayananda led the facility, which was primarily used to further his scientific research into the yogic arts, until his death in 1966.

Kaivalyadhama publishes the quarterly Yoga Mimamsa journal; Swami Kuvalayananda founded it in 1924.

In 1944, the Philosophico-Literary Research Department was created in order to explore the interpretation and translation of traditional yogic texts.

To help train others in the theoretical and practical aspects of yoga, the Gordhandhas Seksaria College Of Yoga and Cultural Synthesis was opened in 1951. The College was named after Gordhandas Seksaria, the father of donor Sheth Makhanlal Gordhandas Seksaria, a philanthropist and industrialist. Shri B. G. Kher, the then Chief Minister of Bombay State, formally inaugurated the college in October 1951. The first convocation was held in May 1953 where Shri H.V. Divetia, Vice-Chancellor of Gujarat University, delivered the convocational address.

In 1962, Kaivalyadhama was declared an "All India Institute of Higher Education" by India's Ministry of Education.

In 2004, India's Human Resource Development Ministry affirmed it as a national resource center for the introduction of yoga in schools.

In 2019 the Government of India's Yoga Certification Board under the Ministry of AYUSH declared Kaivalyadhama a "Leading Yoga Institution".

In 2019 the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India released a commemorative stamp of the founder Swami Kuvalyananda https://kdham.com/milestones-and-recognitions/
