Definition of  Ayurveda is extracted from the Yoga Expo website.

"Yoga Expo is dedicated to the memory of Bishnu Charan Ghosh and celebrated the centennial of his birth

Ghosh developed a Yoga regimen that provides a unique blend of spiritual inspiration and highly disciplined physical exercise. His view of the human body as the temple of a living God has been a major force in the renaissance of Hatha Yoga in the West. In 1923, at the young age of 20, he founded the first Ghosh College of Physical Education in Calcutta and his fame quickly spread throughout India. Other schools were opened, first in India, and then in locations around the world.”
