India's first college of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences.
Founded in 1982 by Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade in the heritage town of Dharmasthala, our institution pioneered naturopathy education in India. Over four decades, it has produced physicians, practitioners, and healers who carry forward the SDM philosophy.
Kshemavana is the latest expression of this vision — a 23-acre forest sanctuary near Bengaluru where ancient wisdom meets modern care, and every sadhaka receives a deeply personalised healing journey.
