It is with much joy and anticipation that we celebrate t he launch of "Ayurveda Mantra"
magazine with this inaugural issue. On behalf of the Editoria l Team, I would like to extend
a very warm welcome to the readership of Ayurveda Mantra . I take th is opportunity t o
thank our authors, editors and anonymous reviewers, all of whom have volunteered t o
contribute to the success of the magazine. I am also grateful t o Dr. Anil Mehta for making
Ayurveda Mantra a reality.
It is my expectation this magazine will give our Ayurveda community an academic voice
and a venue for discourse that will move us forward clinically and intellectually. Ayurveda
Mantra provides an ideal forum for exchange of information on al l Ayurvedic t opics and
more in various formats: case studies I best practice articles written by experts which can
help us to meet the health challenges in daily life. I hope you will find Ayurveda Mantra
