DREAMVIKASANA means 'blossoming' in Sanskrit. Mr. P.M. Kesavan Namboodiri is the founder of VIKASANA INSTITUTE for Rural and Urban Development in 1984 at a small historical place "Melkote, Mandya district in India. Mr. Kesavan Namboodiri, a post-graduate in science, with a degree in Master of Yoga has spent several years searching for peace and a mission in life before he landed in Melkote. He was ardent practitioner of Patanjali Yoga, started teaching Yoga as a way of life to a small group of rural youth in and around Melkote. He soon realized that the fruits of spiritual development could be seen only with the economic development of the rural youth in the group. Swami Vivekananda, who had uttered ‘ Service to the poor is the service to the nation and God ' , inspired him. |
