Where Vedanjana Began
The name Vedanjana comes from two Sanskrit roots — Veda, meaning sacred knowledge, and Anjana, meaning to illuminate or reveal. It was this idea that guided our founders, Dr. Suresh Sharma and his wife Kamala, when they quietly opened a small Ayurvedic consultation centre on the banks of the Ganga in Rishikesh in 2002.
Dr. Sharma had trained for seventeen years under two of South India's most respected Vaidyas, spending extended periods in Kerala studying classical Panchakarma alongside his formal BAMS and MD degrees. Kamala brought a background in classical yoga, pranayama, and naturopathy. Together they envisioned a place unlike the growing wellness industry — not a spa dressed in Ayurvedic language, but a genuine healing institution.
What began with six treatment rooms and a handful of devoted guests now serves hundreds of people each year from over 40 countries. The philosophy has never changed. Only the depth of our capacity to serve it has grown.
