In the mid- to late-20th century, seekers from the West began to travel to India. The teachings of Yoga and Ayurveda were rediscovered by a generation disenchanted with the reductionism and materialism that had come to characterize Western thought, initiating an explosion of interest that continues to this very day. By the early 1980s, Dr. Vasant Lad, Dr. Robert Svoboda, and David Frawley were spreading the teachings of Ayurveda throughout the United States. The publication of "Perfect Health: The Complete Mind/Body Guide", by Deepak Chopra, served to popularize Ayurveda among the general public. Spurred on the by the work of these pioneers, now NAMA’s Advisory Board members, schools, and clinics began springing up across the country, giving rise to the need for solidarity and professionalization that gave birth to NAMA. Rooted in remote antiquity, and having survived and grown through the vicissitudes of time, Ayurveda now faces a bright future in India, the United States and across the world.
