OM NAMO BHAGAVATE VASUDEVAYE
Narayana Institute of Vedic Arts and Sciences, named after Lord Narayana or Vishnu, the maintainer of Hindu Trinity Gods, stands as a private school. The word “Vedic” comes ancient Hindu Veda scriptures like the 4 Vedas, 18 Mahapuranas and ancient texts of Jyotish and Vastu. These ancient texts are a treasure trove of ancient wisdom, healing, Herbal Alchemy, rituals, mantras, and how to live a life of balance and wellness. The education is imparted with a deep reverence for the spiritual essence that underlies this sacred Vedic knowledge. Our educational model offers a spiritual journey into the profound realm of Vedic knowledge of Vastu, Yoga, Herbs, Mantras, Vedic counseling and Ayurvedic Medicine. Here, we follow the timeless Vedic tradition, rooted in the sacred teachings passed down through generations. We follow a Guru shishya parampara. Our teachers learnt from their teachers in an spiritual settings, who learnt from their teachers etc. Our mission is to nurture the souls of our students and help them balance their own karmik journey, as they embark on the path of healing and self-discovery. Our training program for Vedic Ayurveda Counselor have been reviewed and recognized by Ayurveda Accredtation Commission and is a candidate for accred-itation. We believe that the Vedic practice of herbal alchemy, and Ayurveda are not limited to the physical body but a synchronized harmony of the body, mind, and spirit.

Our Story
Atul Krishna and Monica Groover started offering small classes on Ayurveda in San Diego California in 2008. They founded the San Diego College of Ayurveda. Monica B Groover and Atul have taught over a thousand students in the last 17 years. They have founded a Vedic college with religious underpinnings because we believe that Ayurveda cannot be separated from its Vedic roots. It was founded by the sages, taught to devatas (angels) then brought to earth for the benefit of mankind. We offer consultations for Ayurveda, Jyotish, Divination, and Vastu at an affordable price. Our courses are affordable and flexible.
