Dr. Neel Kulkarni Resume for Yoga Work

Dr. Neel Kulkarni was born in a Yogic family and was brought up in a Yogic environment of Sanskrit, Chanting, Philosophy, and Yogic practices. He intuitively studied Yoga from a very early age. Though he studied Aerospace Engineering in a world famous university and also worked in the Information Technology in several countries, his Yoga study has continued throughout his life. He formulated his unique Yoga System, Adhiyoga – Authentic Yoga System of Neel Kulkarni, in 1998 in USA, and later published the same in the book “Adhiyoga”. He received honorary doctorate for the “Adhiyoga”. Adhiyoga integrates traditional Yoga science with modern health sciences, psychology, art, music, and educational sciences. 

In 2017, while in California, he published the book Patanjali Code, in which he has revised the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, with additions as well as modifications, in order to make their understanding much systematic and easier, and in order to provide his essential additions and modifications with critical comments. This work is given the national award, Dr. Radhakrishnan Award for Educational Excellence. 

Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mysuru awarded him the title, “Nava Sutra Yogacharya” (The Second Formulator of the Yoga Sutras) during the Karnataka Rajyotsava 2018. He plans to write a commentary on Patanjali Code in the coming future.
