In his inaugural address Shri Shripad Yesso Naik applauded the initiative said, “This Expo is a great opportunity to spread the word about the Indian System of Medicine globally. Ayurveda and Yoga is considered by many scholars as the oldest healing sciences. They are often called the mother of all healing.” Adhering similar sentiments, Guruji Dr HR Nagendra, President, Indian Yoga Association and Chancellor, S-VYASA said, “The challenge is how to integrate the system into a common platform.
