Four Month Course in Yogic Studies
 The
four month course in Yogic Studies is conducted twice a year, once in
English medium and once in Hindi medium. BYB seeks to admit a diversity
of students with a broad range of interests and backgrounds.
Combining academic studies with the gurukul lifestyle and discipline
can be challenging and all aspirants must be prepared for this approach
to yogic studies. The gurukul disciplines are designed to create an atmosphere
in which the yogic spirit can be experienced at a subtle level. Alongside
yogic education, the spirit of seva (selfless service), samarpan (dedication)
and karuna (compassion) will be imbibed by the students.
