Kayakalpa yoga is wonderful technique of the SIDDHAS of South India and has a threefold objective. a. Withstanding the aging process. b. Maintaining youthfulness and physical health. c. Postponing death until one reaches spiritual perfection. Ever since man started getting illness, he began to discover the causes for illness. The prevention of illness thus came to be added in the evolution of culture. Even while he was enjoying pleasures and suffering from pains through his five senses, he began to understand the perfect functional order of Nature i.e. the principle of cause and effect through his sixth sense. In his efforts to cure and prevent illness he further thought of avoidance or postponement of death. By continuous search and research for generations, men found several methods, of rejuvenation his physical body with foods, medicines, herbs, and exercises and austerities. Each method showed a certain effect and some systems are still being practiced in some parts of the world. Yet a perfect system has not been evolved to suit all sections of people of all countries, climates and ecological conditions. So, centuries before Christ, Lord Buddha renounced his crown in search of the root cause of sufferings and questioned the scholars of the day about the reasons for diseases, old age and death. Intellectuals of the day could not answer these questions. These remained unanswered for hundreds of years, but the urge and the search was on. Success came though some alchemists of South India, called "Siddhas" between theirs tenth and fifteenth centuries. They actually lived as long as they wished and after death their bodies were impervious to decay and disintegration. Twenty of them actually demonstrated their longevity to the people and showed that their bodies did not decay after death. Their findings were however, deliberately kept hidden in obscures language, in so many bits and pieces in their writings, in the form of Tamil poems. Although these poems are descriptively simple, even great scholars have been unable to decipher the real meaning. YOGIRAJ VETHATHIRI MAHARISHI had occasions to go through the literature of the Siddhas, even at his teenage, in the course of his study, he learned of several herbs and medicines to cure diseases. Interspersed in the 'Siddhas' teachings were indications about the process of kayakalpa. However they were in puzzles to which there seemed to be no key. Meanwhile, he studied medicine and got diplomas in Ayurveda, Siddha and Homeopathy. To the limited extent he could understand the meaning of the Siddha scriptures, he began practicing exercises for rejuvenation, general health and spiritual enlightenment. Many years later after Maharishi had attained self-realization through Kundalini Yoga, he happened to study the same Siddha texts. What a wonder! Everything was now clear about KayaKalpa with its science and practical exercises. Initially he taught these exercises to some close friends and found that they got immense benefits. Now he is teaching this wonderful process to thousands of people every year both in India and abroad. The practitioners have obtained immense benefits not only to physical strength and vitality, but also in terms of cure for some longstanding ailments. Further more Kayakalpa gives significant spiritual benefit. The sexual energy is transmuted into spiritual energy, by directing it to the "Crown Chakras". The enlightenment of Consciousness, which is the purpose of birth, is gradually achieved. The temperamental moods developed in man's personality will be naturally sublimated into spiritual awareness and morality for the welfare and happiness of all. Practice of KayaKalpa yoga involves two main exercises. 1.Toning up of the nervous system to withstand the aging process and 2."OJAS breath" -- to recycle the sexual vital fluid to rejuvenate the body and postpone death.

Any person after physical maturity is eligible to learn and practice KayaKalpa without previous experience in meditation or spiritual practices.
