Chandigarh, June 18, 2025: Panjab University Vice-Chancellor Prof. (Dr.) Renu Vig today released the book “Yoga and Nature Cure”, a comprehensive and research-based work that integrates multiple disciplines including Yoga Therapy, Naturopathy, Herbal Medicine, Nutrition Science, and Music Therapy. The release ceremony was held at the Vice-Chancellor’s office in the presence of the book’s authors — senior yoga scholar Prof. Surinder K. Shukla and naturopathy expert Dr. N.D. Sharma ‘Devshali’.
Providing insights into the journey of the book, Prof. Surinder K. Shukla shared that the concept for the book was envisioned back in 2012. The work is not merely the outcome of writing but is grounded in extensive research and years of practical experience. Each section of the book integrates academic rigor with hands-on therapeutic insights.
Co-author Dr. N.D. Sharma ‘Devshali’ added that the book is not limited to Yoga and Naturopathy alone, but also explores topics such as Herbal Medicine, Nutrition Science, Natural Ethics, and Music Therapy. He emphasized that the book promotes a comprehensive view of health — not just freedom from illness, but the cultivation of a holistic lifestyle and deeper understanding of life itself.
Toward the end of the event, attending faculty members and research scholars engaged in an interactive discussion with the authors regarding the content and research methodology of the book.
