Message from Param Pujya Yog Rishi Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj
The soul of India lies in its rich knowledge tradition. This is a land where life has never been understood merely in terms of material achievements, but as a harmonious integration of the body, mind, nature, and consciousness. India’s eternal culture and its great lineage of sages have offered humanity a scientific and holistic vision for health, well-being, and a balanced way of life.
Today, as the entire world is grappling with physical ailments, mental stress, and complex health challenges associated with modern lifestyles, the holistic approach to health offered by Yoga and Ayurveda has assumed even greater significance. It has always been our firm resolve that Ayurveda should not remain confined merely to the realm of ‘alternative medicine’, but should be established across the world as an eternal philosophy of life and a science of health.
The establishment of Patanjali Ayurveda Gurukulam is not merely intended to confer degrees or produce conventional physicians. This Gurukulam is, in essence, a ‘Centre for Nation and Human Development’. Our aim is to nurture dedicated, radiant, and accomplished Ayurveda practitioners who, as true torchbearers of the great tradition of Acharyas such as Dhanvantari, Charaka, and Sushruta, devote themselves selflessly to the service of society.
In this sacred institution, students will not be confined merely to intellectual and book-based learning. Education here will be integrated with discipline, a sattvic way of life, Yoga, meditation, compassion, and the values of service to the nation, so that along with knowledge, character may also be developed, and along with skills, a deep sense of responsibility may be cultivated.
May the students who graduate from here become seekers of knowledge for the modern age— individuals who, through their excellence in learning, purity of conduct, and spirit of service, make a meaningful contribution to society and to the global health community. Wherever they go, may they become representatives of India’s knowledge tradition and carry forward its values and scientific outlook.
With the noble objective of serving the nation, I urge you all to contribute your share towards building a healthy, empowered, and prosperous India through the holistic approach of Yoga and Ayurveda. My heartfelt blessings and best wishes for a bright future to all the students who join this sacred resolve of “Healthy India, India as Vishwaguru.
