World Ayurveda Foundation

The World Ayurveda Foundation (WAF) is an initiative by Vijnana Bharati aimed at the global propagation of Ayurveda. As part of a larger intellectual movement under the aegis of the Swadeshi Science Movement undertaken by Vijnana Bharati, WAF is a platform that would take Ayurveda to the world for all the benefits mankind can draw from traditional health sciences. Stakeholder involvement by participation, guidance and responsible management is the hallmark of WAF. The objectives of WAF reflect the global scope that its name provides. Propagation and encouragement of all scientific activities related to Ayurveda are the core principles. WAF also supports research, healthcare programmes through camps, clinics and sanatoriums, documentation, as well as organisation of study groups, seminars, exhibitions, and knowledge initiatives in different parts of the country and across the world. Today, WAF has a wide array of professional representation from across the world. Students, research scholars, practitioners, therapists, public health administrators, cultivators, collectors, multi-disciplinary scientific academics and industry are the prominent stakeholders representing Ayurveda through WAF. The impact of WAF in matters of policy, action, public health, trade, practice, science and above all global for the benefit of society and mankind has started becoming visible owing to its relentless pursuit spanning over a decade. WAF as a movement and body is moving forward with greater momentum year after year, embracing the spirit of cooperation and camaraderie. Join WAF to lend it more strength!
