Dr. Sankaranarayanan.K.P (alias Dr. Sankar) and “Ayurtoday”

Dr. Sankar was born on 30th January 1978 to an Ayurvedic doctor couple, whose family has been practicing Ayurveda for more than a century and manufacturing Ayurvedic medicines over the past 80 years.

After his studies at St. Thomas College, he was selected to pursue his education at the Ayurvedic Medicinal College in Kerala and received a university degree in 2002.

As the 5th generation doctor, Dr. Sankar became the head of the Sri Guruvayurappan Ayurveda Nursing Home, a small, but beautiful Ayurvedic centre in the temple town of Guruvayur, Kerala. The centre was founded in 1984 by his father Dr. K. R. Prabhakaran, a well-known Ayurvedic physician in those days. The Ayurvedic manufacturing unit was set up much earlier by his father’s uncle in 1924.

Dr. Sankar has been improving the nursing home and its manufacturing section ever since, while taking care that the traditional Ayurvedic values are not lost. He has also been travelling to many Asian and European countries to train students in Ayurveda and to give workshops, conferences and consultations.

With the aim of propagating this ancient Indian system of medicine and making it available to all those with a genuine interest, Dr. Sankar founded AYURTODAY. Please click on www.ayurtoday.com for more information.
