 In December 1970 Christopher Hills, his son John, and Kevin Kingsland organized the world's first World Conference on Scientific Yoga (WCSY) in New Delhi, bringing 50 Western scientists together with 800 of India's leading swamis, yogis and lamas to discuss their research and establish a network for the creation of a World Yoga University.The conference generated some controversy when Indian politics intersected with religion, particularly the concept of "Christ Yoga", a book Hills had written linking Christ's teachings to those of Buddha and the Vedas.But the conclave nevertheless emerged as a milestone in the soon-to-be-booming migration of Indian yogis to the West.
