• Dr. Swami Yogapratap (born 1975) graduated with an MBBS degree from Mumbai in 1998. Blending a medical background with deep spirituality, he was initiated into poorna sannyasa by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati in 2000. He has spent years serving medical and holistic healthcare needs at the Rikhiapeeth Ashram.

The book addresses what cancer is, how it forms across physical or energetic boundaries, and looks deeply into its multi-faceted causes. Rather than presenting yoga as an outright cure, it establishes how specific practices (like gentle asanas, pranayama, and relaxation techniques) systematically stimulate the body's natural defense and immune networks. It offers detailed instructions to design personalized yogic routines for different types of cancers while introducing the reader to modern scientific research corroborating the benefits of yoga in oncology.
