Lakulish Yoga University is a state private university in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, dedicated specifically to yoga education, research and practice. It was established in April 2013 under the Gujarat Private Universities Act, 2009 by Swami Rajarshi Muni and was inaugurated on 23 May 2013 at its Lotus View Campus on S.G. Highway. The university identifies itself as the first private university in Gujarat devoted exclusively to yoga education and is recognized under Section 2(f) of the UGC Act. The institution is rooted in the spiritual and yogic tradition associated with Swami Kripalvanandaji and Swami Rajarshi Muni. Its educational philosophy seeks to combine classical Indian yoga knowledge with modern scientific and evidence-based approaches. Rather than treating yoga only as physical practice, the university's academic model addresses philosophy, psychology, therapy, teaching, research, lifestyle and related dimensions of yogic studies. This creates a specialist university environment distinct from broad multidisciplinary institutions. Lakulish Yoga University's development since 2013 has focused on formalizing yoga as a field of higher education through degree programmes, research and structured practice. The university's statutory status enables it to award recognized degrees while its spiritual lineage shapes the content and ethos of its academic work. Its Ahmedabad location also gives it access to a large urban student base while maintaining a specialized institutional identity. The university therefore represents a bridge between traditional yogic learning and modern university systems, with research and teacher development forming important parts of its mission. Its Lotus View Campus on S.G. Highway gives the specialist university a dedicated base in Ahmedabad. The university's academic philosophy explicitly links classical yoga traditions with scientific and evidence-based study. Founded by Swami Rajarshi Muni as a university dedicated specifically to yoga education. Its spiritual lineage is connected with the teachings of Swami Kripalvanandaji.
