Ayurveda a healthy bridge connecting Lanka and India, says India’s envoy
View(s):The Indian High Commission’s cultural arm, the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Centre, celebrated the Ninth Ayurveda Day in Colombo on Friday.
High Commissioner Santosh Jha inaugurated the 9th Ayurveda Day events at the New Arts Theatre of the Colombo University together with the university’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. H.D. Karunaratne.
The event was organised by the Centre along with the Faculty of Indigenous Medicine of the University of Colombo for the second time in collaboration with the Department of Ayurveda, the Government of Sri Lanka, the Gampaha Wickramarachchi University of Indigenous Medicine, and the Faculty of Siddha Medicine of the Eastern University.
The High Commissioner said that Ayurveda serves as a profound bridge between India and Sri Lanka, connecting the two nations through shared heritage and holistic healing practices.
Rooted in ancient Indian wisdom, Ayurveda was introduced to Sri Lanka thousands of years ago. It merged with indigenous knowledge, creating a unique yet interconnected tradition. Both countries share a deep respect for Ayurveda’s principles, focusing on balance, natural remedies, and personalised health care.
The event was attended by more than 300 scholars, practitioners, and students from different universities and institutions.
