Pratichi Mathur
Pratichi Mathur is the Founder and Spiritual Director of Vedika Global, Inc.

Pratichi Mathur created Vedika Global Inc to restore Ayurveda to its pristine glory. In the olden days, Ayurveda was considered more than merely natural medicine for the body, but a spiritual path of self -discovery and a profound approach to total transformation of consciousness underlying body, mind and soul; especially when Ayurveda is studied and lived mindfully in day to day life .

Pratichi’s inspiration to connect modern day seekers with ancient sage consciousness, thoughts, scriptures, practices and way of life called Sanatana Dharma led to the formation of not for profit Vedika Global Inc with its three glittering goals of consciousness illumination (Gurukula), community building (Sangha) and service to humanity (Seva) with the tools contained in the Vedic science of healthy body and masterful living.
