polluted. Indian cities are noisy, polluted, crowded, and hard to navigate. Hence we are giving them a great choice
of abundant nature and a conducive environment for de-stressing and relaxing.
We are growing forests to connect with powerful cosmic entities like with big bear constellation, Moon, Stars
and Planets in our solar system. This is a proven concept and there are about only handful of such forests in India
and none of it in chikmagalur. Any person who walks by these trees is guaranteed huge doses of pure oxygen, and
rich exchange of pure vibrations.
We are creating an atmosphere of creative freedom that will help people come out of their rigid paradigms and
celebrate their journey. Hence they will come back for more exploration and also refer us to more aspirants.
We have already created a deep interest in people about Kevala project. Dr. Pradeep Ullal is a respected Yogi and
has an international following who understand the depth of his work and are excited about what Kevala will have
to offer.
Kevala Celebration Center combines the concept, essence and facility of a Nature Retreat and Yoga Ashram. Its
location is fascinating as it is surrounded by 360 degrees of green top hills (6350ft a.s.l), silver oak plantations,
coffee estates and forests. With great weather through the year (avg temperature is 22 deg C) and with great road
network, the center will attract many reputed facilitators as well as guests who will attend the programs that we
offer. Please visit www.kevalafoundation.org to see the description of residential programs that we intend to offer.
Kevala Celebration Center is born out of a growing demand from sincere spiritual seekers across the world who are
thirsty for inner exploration and ascension to unity consciousness.
We already have requests from yoga practitioners, meditation groups for a serene place in India to conduct
residential programs that offers hygienic kitchen, toilets, clean rooms, friendly service staff and a meditation space
with high energy space that is conducive for their awareness exploration.
Moreover, Kevala will be an ‘open space’ for many events. Teachers will bring their student groups for many

Rejuvenation:
Human body has around 100 trillion cells and 1000 trillion bacteria within. Thousands of cells are born and
degenerating every second. Ageing is a natural process. Age doesn't define our levels of wisdom or ability to tap
into awareness. Rejuvenation is ability to arrest or retard the progressive degeneration of cells and sustain state of
well being. The major part of our journey is dictated by negative stress build up. Indian sciences of Siddha offer
kaya kalpa treatments to revive the body from its low vibrancy state.
We guide aspirants on the path of awareness by enabling them to experience a healthy, balanced, vibrant through
detoxification, restoration through yogic massages, herbal treatment, kriya breath work, and advanced yogic
techniques of Surya Vigyan, Nada Yoga and Swarodaya.
