Naveen Gupta began studying at the early age of 16 years at the oldest AyurVeda Medicine & Surgery Institute in New Delhi, known as ‘Ayurvedic and Unani Tibbia Medical College’. Family, friends and well- wishers tried to dissuade him from his chosen path, instead advising him to enroll in a school of Western Medicine. In those days the practise of AyurVeda was not glamorous, considered ancient, and way past its prime. With a view to reviving the glory of AyurVeda, lost over the ages mainly due to India's rule by foreign powers and their lack of support for ancient Indian traditions he did some serious soul-searching, and came to the conclusion that his true calling was in AyurVeda Nutrition, Lifestyle and Medicine.

In the year 1983 he received his well-deserved degree of Bachelors of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery- B.A.M.S. with Honours and distinctions in all clinical subjects from Delhi University with a Gold medal. In the year 1984 the Central Council of Indian Medicine awarded him the titles “Vaidya” and “Acharya”. While the first one – “Vaidya” – refers to a Certified AyurVeda Physician & Surgeon practicing the eight disciplines of AyurVeda System of Medicine and Surgery with Pulse Examination as the most prime diagnostic criteria, the second one is “Acharya”, a title signifying“Master Spiritual Teacher” and is awarded only to people recognized as Mentors, Gurus, Masters, Lecturers and Emiretus Professors in the Holistic approach towards Health.

Acharya-kulam in Vedic times

The prayer, observance and offerings at Acharya-kulam “Na tvaham kameye rajayam, Na swargam Na punarbhavam! Kamaye dukhtaptanaam, Praninaam arti nashnam!!”

I don’t desire lordship over others, nor do I aspire for heavenly pleasures, nor do I pray to be released from the bondage of birth and death, my only ambition is to become an instrument of relieving the sufferings of those who are groaning under the scourge of one or the other form of disease

This is the motive by which the Practitioners of Ayurveda are perpetually guided.
