About AcuVeda
AcuVeda is a school & Treatment Center of ancient healing sciences that integrates the depth of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Traditional Indian Medicine with the clarity of modern science. Rooted in the Gurukul style of teaching, AcuVeda emphasizes both experiential learning and personal transformation, ensuring that every student not only studies protocols but lives the philosophy of holistic healing And every patient can get the correct treatment for their illness using ancient science.
Nemi Bishnoi founded AcuVeda with a clear mission: to restore the great, lost knowledge of ancient science.
Struck by its profound depth, I resolved to create a foundation where patients could experience its curative results and students could master and spread the science globally.
This dedication to learning and teaching led to the establishment of AcuVeda in Assagao, Goa, in 2021. Fueled by the remarkable support of our patients, we quickly grew from a local center to an international platform, attracting students and patients from all over the world. Our path is now set: to bring this science to as many people and countries as possible.
Our Philosophy
The word “AcuVeda” itself reflects the union of two great streams of wisdom:
“Acu” from Acupuncture, representing the precision of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the art of balancing Qi — the vital life force.
“Veda” from Ayurveda, symbolizing the eternal knowledge of life, the understanding of Prana, Doshas, and the rhythm of nature.
Together, they form a holistic path — one that blends energy and element, meridian and marma, science and spirituality.
We see the human being as a microcosm of the universe — every cell a temple, every organ a storyteller, every pulse a rhythm of life. Our teachings honor this sacred connection and guide students to see beyond symptoms, into the language of the body itself.
Why AcuVeda Uses the Gurukul System
The Gurukul system is not just an ancient method; it represents a philosophy of education that is uniquely important for mastering deep, holistic sciences like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Why the Gurukul system's principles are so vital for AcuVeda?
1. Holistic Development (Beyond Books)
Ancient Science Requires Ancient Training: These sciences treat the whole person—physical, mental, and spiritual. A book-centric, modern education only addresses the intellectual. The Gurukul approach is crucial because it ensures the student’s own physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being is nurtured through discipline, self-control, and daily routines, making them capable of truly understanding and practicing holistic healing.
Living the Philosophy: You don’t just study Ayurveda; you must live the philosophy of balanced living and discipline. The Gurukul style fosters this transformation, ensuring the healer truly embodies the principles they teach their patients.
2. Deep Experiential Learning
- Practical Application: Unlike conventional systems focused on memorization and exams, the Gurukul system emphasizes experiential learning and hands-on application. Students learn by doing, observing, and engaging directly with the practice, the patients, and the Guru’s daily life. This is critical for diagnostic skills like pulse and tongue diagnosis, which cannot be learned from a textbook alone.
- Root-Cause Understanding: It teaches students to be resourceful, independent, and to think critically by constantly applying abstract principles to real-world cases, which is the only way to genuinely target the root cause of disease.
3. The Sacred Guru-Shishya Bond
- Personalized Mentorship: The deep, respectful relationship between the Guru (teacher) and the Shishya (student) is the cornerstone. This bond allows for personalized instruction, where the Guru can tailor the pace and method of teaching to the student’s individual aptitude and needs.
- Transmission of Wisdom: In the traditional sciences, much of the true wisdom is transmitted not just through facts, but through observation, shared experience, and moral example. The Guru acts as a mentor for the student’s entire character development, ensuring they become an ethical, responsible, and effective healer.
In short, the Gurukul system is important because it transforms the student into a well-balanced, disciplined, and personally transformed healer, which is a prerequisite for mastering a system that aims to treat the whole person.
What makes AcuVeda unique is its ability to bridge tradition and innovation.
Students are introduced to ancient diagnostic tools like Tongue Diagnosis, Nadi Pariksha (Pulse Diagnosis), and Abdominal Diagnosis, while also grounding their learning in modern anatomy, physiology, fascia science, and pathology. This integration provides a complete understanding of health—addressing body, mind, and spirit together.
In a short span of time, AcuVeda has grown into a recognized platform for holistic education and healing. With a strong foundation of thousands of real clinical case studies, the school offers a rare blend of academic rigor and practical experience.
Today, students from across the world travel to AcuVeda to immerse themselves in this beautiful ancient science. They come not only to learn techniques, but to awaken the healer within themselves, carrying forward a legacy of wisdom that is both authentic and deeply practical for modern life.
The Vision: Satyuga Vedic Village
Re-Establishing the Golden Age of Healing.
In my many years dedicated to the practice and teaching of this ancient science, a single, critical need became clear: the absence of a dedicated, authentic healing platform.
The truth of natural science is this: the closer we are to nature, the deeper the healing. We realized that our patients, traveling long distances and staying in impersonal city hotels, were missing the essential elements for a full cure—proper Vedic food, rest, and a tranquil environment. Similarly, our students were unable to fully commit to the Gurukul experience while commuting through a crowded, modern city.
The overwhelming enthusiasm from our global community of students and patients affirmed our resolve to create a solution that was not a clinic, but a complete ecosystem.
A New Golden Age of Healing
This led to the grand undertaking: the establishment of Satyuga Vedic Village. We secured 160,000 square meters of untouched land—nestled by a river in the mountains, just 45 km from Goa airport.
We named this sanctuary Satyuga (the Golden Age) with a profound vision: that anyone who enters its gates will feel an immediate return to balance, purity, and natural living.
Our intention is not to run a commercial business, but to build a true Vedic village where patients can retreat from hectic modern life to heal for days or weeks, and students can fully immerse themselves in the Gurukul system.
The Ecosystem of Wellness
In Satyuga, every detail reflects ancient authenticity—from the traditional structures of the huts to the Vedic food, clothing, and simple living.
This will be a complete center for holistic transformation, integrating a wide spectrum of traditional treatments:
- Ayurveda Medicine
- Panchakarma and Detox Therapies
- Acupuncture
- Mud Therapy
- Spiritual Centers for Meditation
- A dedicated Medicine Lab
- Ancient Science and Spiritual books Library
- Personal transformation programs (Yoga, Sports, Education)
For each discipline, we have assembled a truly unique and exceptional team.
Our Ultimate Resolve
Our aim is singular: to cultivate complete transformation.
- Every student who enters our Gurukul will leave fully transformed and empowered to spread this ancient knowledge.
- Every patient who comes for treatment will leave with their entire body and mind fundamentally rejuvenated.
Through the Satyuga Vedic Village, we are resolved to take this ancient science worldwide and reconnect every individual with the profound, restorative power of traditional therapies.
