The Yogam Research Program is an initiative by PST dedicated to the scientific exploration of spirituality, meditation, and consciousness. It invites open-minded scholars to work on meaningful problem statements that bridge ancient wisdom with modern science.
Benefits and responsibilities
Participants receive research mentorship and modest stipend support (₹2,000–₹5,000/month) to pursue inquiries that lie at the intersection of science and spirituality. Students are expected to work in an online mode for 2-3 months, dedicating about 2-3 hours per day. Towards the end, they receive a certificate of appreciation. Highly motivated students also get the opportunity to write papers that are channelled for a journal publication.
