“Ayurveda Day," 28th October 2016, was celebrated for the first time ever with a big bang in Toronto, Canada. It was remarkable to see Canada, the only country outside of India, that respected the importance of recognizing and offering their gratitude to the originator, sages, rishis, fathers, and teachers of Ayurveda.
The 1st Ayurveda Day was celebrated with the opening of Dhanvantri Pooja, followed by the Ayurvedic Symposium on Ayurvedic Medicine, a time-tested medicine for perfect health.
The expert panel of speakers in Ayurvedic medicine were Ayurvedic practitioners and medical and naturopathic doctors. Attendees were Ayurvedic practitioners, naturopaths, osteopaths, physical therapists, lawyers, pharmacists, yoga teachers, and enthusiasts. All the participants enjoyed the celebration with festive Ayurvedic meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
This event marked the importance of bringing Ayurveda awareness and building the Ayurvedic community. This message of collaborative efforts and building Ayurvedic awareness was conveyed by the Consulate General of India, Mr. Dinesh Bhatia, who graced the occasion with his presence and speech.
The vision of putting this special day of Ayurveda into perspective that can benefit mankind was pioneered through a collaborative effort of Mr. Paul Batth, Founder of AyuMantra LLC, and Ismat Nathani, Founder & Director of the Centre for Ayurveda and Indian Systems of Healing, with amazing team members and volunteers.
Ayurveda Day Celebration has set an example for the global Ayurvedic community to take active participation in bringing Ayurveda to the frontiers of health care.
