The founder’s English text · Book 2
On Dhanvantari Jayanti in 1956, a meeting at the Universal Health Research Institute and Hospital on Lamington Road, Bombay, brought together leading figures in Ayurveda. Their shared decision was to carry the benefits of this ancient life science to the world through a global organisation devoted to research and development.
The meeting unanimously adopted the name World Academy of Ayurveda. A draft constitution was presented, refined and marked for registration under the Societies Registration Act. Acharya Prabhakar Mishra, as convenor, presented the Academy’s objectives.
Book 2 records the Academy’s inauguration at Kurukshetra during the World Sanskrit Conference. Its continuing purpose is to take Ayurveda to every corner of the world, develop branches, encourage international conferences and bring the science of life into the mainstream of world science.
The founder’s record calls upon every vaidya and well-wisher of Ayurveda to cooperate in this endeavour and strengthen the Academy through membership and participation.
