Welcome to the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre Madurai, part of the world-wide Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres, founded in 1957 by Sri Swami Vishnudevananda, disciple of Sri Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh. The Centre founded in 2004 is located next to Rajmahal Kalyanamadapam and Sundaram Park.
By closely observing the lifestyles and needs of people, Swami Vishnudevananda, a renowned authority on hatha yoga and raja yoga, synthesised the four paths of yoga into five basic principles that can be easily incorporated into a daily lifestyle providing the foundation for healthy living. It is on these five principles that the activities of the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre are based.
