Namaste to All!
I have to take exception to this statement, since it essentially implies that other methods of mantra japa, meditation, and pranayama, as normally taught and practiced, do not directly produce good health…but states that only the secret, proprietary ‘kaya kalpa’ method has a direct effect. I admit that I am not specifically a ‘kaya kalpa’ practitioner. I am merely a simple yogi sadhaka who has practiced the very open and accessible Ramakrishna Universal Yoga method earnestly on a daily basis since 1966.
From the outset, my health, strength, flexibility, balance, body control, mind control, and so forth, directly and immediately improved, resulting in fewer bouts of head colds, flu, allergies, indigestion, and the like. Within two years time of commencing the practices, I no longer had any illnesses at all. My last internal illness of any kind was a head cold in October of 1967! Other than the occaisional cut, burn, or bruise, all stemming from external injuries, I have been illness-free for nearly 40 years time to date…all without the supposedly magical benefits of secret ‘kaya kalpa’ herbal formulations and/or training methods. So what’s not to like about standard yoga practices
Given the self-discipline to establish and maintain a serious Sadhana, I don’t really perceive the need for anything else. This is only my humble opinion. I honor each person’s right to select and practice whatever methods they feel are best for them.

The Ramakrishna Universal Yoga Method as taught to me by my Guru, the late Sri Swami Narayanananda, formerly of Rishikesh, Himalayas, India, is a complete Ashtanga Yoga System, but with special emphasis on four of the Eight Limbs. Swami Narayanananda was the top Disciple of Sri Ramakrisna’s #2 Disciple, Sri Swami Shivananda, who founded the Ramakrishna Math after Sri Ramakrishna’s death.

The writings and teachings of Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa Deva, especially the ‘The Gospel of Ramakrishna’, heavily influence the spiritual philosophy of the Sadhana. Below are a few links to a free e-book translation of this powerful book, and to other information about the method as a whole.
