It is precious to be sitting together after a summer hiatus. Thank you all for our gathering.

He brought Ayurveda to the United States by founding the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1984. He continues to write extensively and lecture through educational webinars at liveayurprana.com.
