In order to increase the visibility of Ayurveda, the traditional Indian healthcare practice, in the United States, the Hindu University of America (HUA) in Florida has merged with the California College of Ayurveda (CCA). The merger will expand HUA's offerings into the Ayurveda and Integrative Health domain and enable CCA to grow and reach its full potential.
Marc Halpern established CCA in 1995 with the objective of introducing Ayurveda to the United States in order to significantly alter the consciousness and well-being of society. Under his leadership, the college has emerged as the most recognized college of Ayurveda outside of India.
"CCA's graduates have been at the forefront of the profession's development," added Dr. Halpern, remarking, "This partnership will empower CCA with the necessary resources to reach its full potential by expanding education, developing clinical research, and further advancing the Ayurvedic profession in the West. This merge also provides our students with extraordinary new opportunities.Our vision for this merger is to harmoniously blend the best of the East with the best of the West, ensuring a promising future for all, This is truly a remarkable development."
Commenting on the significance of the partnership, Jashvant Patel, chairman of the Board of the Hindu University of America, said, "This merger will enable us to focus on the benefits of integrative health, bringing scientific rigor and discipline to the development of this field. This is a monumental milestone for HUA, and I am very excited to be a part of this phase of growth and expansion. Ayurveda and Allopathic medicine need not be antagonistic to each other. They can be complementary. I foresee HUA and CCA making an important contribution to healthcare and humanity by expanding Ayurveda education and research."
Kalyan Viswanathan, president of the Hindu University of America, added, "The knowledge systems that originated in India have always prioritized the spiritual realm over the material realm. At HUA, it will be a priority for us to demonstrate the contemporary value of Ayurveda, harmonizing it with the practices of modern science, even as we explore the possibilities of holistic healthcare. The HUA family has grown considerably, and so have the opportunities in front of us. We wholeheartedly welcome the CCA community into the HUA family and to further advance the field."
