Kiran Vyas - France
Abstract of the presentation
The Future Medicine for Humanity Based on Yoga and Ayurveda
Curriculum vitae
Kiran Vyas’s inspiration comes from Gandhi, Tagore, The Mother, Sri Aurobindo and Yehudi Menuhin.
He hails from Gujarat in India, and as a former student of the Sri Aurobindo International Education Centre in Pondicherry, he founded three experimental schools with his father, who was one of Mahatma Gandhi's closest collaborators.
Subsequently, he chose France to promote the influence of the “science of life” that is Ayurveda. His scientific training, his sense of pedagogy, his keen interest in the evolution of the body and mind, and his creativity led him to develop Tapovan into an “Open University” open to all, encouraging interdisciplinary and intercultural exchanges.
Kiran Vyas was a forerunner of Ayurveda in Europe, and it was he who introduced it in the early 80s, when nobody knew what Ayurveda was. For almost forty years, he has been recognized as a leading figure in the teaching of this art of living for well-being and personal fulfillment.
Today, at Tapovan Paris or Normandy, the Kiran Vyas team invites you to a privileged encounter with yourself.
In 2024, the Government of India honored him with the Padma Shri — the nation’s fourth-highest civilian award — in recognition of his pioneering work and lifelong dedication to the spread of Ayurveda.
