About Pandit Taranath Ayurveda Foundation®, Kalaburagi

Pandit Taranath Ayurveda Foundation®️ (PTAF), Kalaburagi, is a charitable trust established in the memory of the great scholar Pandit Taranath, who devoted his life to the service of humanity through Ayurveda.

He was a versatile genius, well-versed in 14 Vidyas (branches of knowledge) — including Ayurveda, Yoga, and Music — and was revered for preaching holistic living rooted in compassion, discipline, and divine wisdom.

The foundation continues his noble legacy by promoting and preserving the timeless science of Ayurveda, integrating ancient healing wisdom with modern healthcare needs to benefit society at large.
