For over 35 years, Late Dr. Subhash Ranade and Dr. Sunanda Ranade have worked for propagation of Ayurved globally, bringing it to 77 countries across five continents. Their continuous international travel for over three decades is a unique example in Ayurveda. They have organized and conducted hundreds of Ayurved and Yoga seminars and participated in numerous national and international conferences at prestigious institutions.
During their travels, they completed multiple global circuits, crossed major oceans and mountain ranges, sailed on major rivers, and visited all Seven Wonders of the World, along with many other cultural and natural landmarks.
Beyond education, they treated thousands of patients worldwide using Ayurvedic methods. Early on, lacking access to traditional herbs, they adapted by using local resources. They found that customizing diet as per constitution and illness, and following Dinacharya and Ritucharya, could achieve profound healing without classical formulations.
Their journey demonstrates Ayurveda’s global healing power and continues to inspire students, practitioners, and patients worldwide.
