Meeting between His Excellency Dr. Manoj Kumar Mohapatra, Ambassador of India to Romania, and Andrei Gămulea, president of AMN-România.

On July 31, 2026, a meeting took place at the Embassy of India in Bucharest between His Excellency Dr. Manoj Kumar Mohapatra, Ambassador of India to Romania, and Andrei Gămulea, president of the National Association for the Promotion of Nonconventional Medicines in Romania (AMN-România) and coordinator of the AYUSH Information Center – Ayush Cell Romania.

The discussion provided an opportunity for a broad and comprehensive presentation of activities in Romania aimed at promoting knowledge of Ayurveda.

It also highlighted the value of ongoing dialogue between Indian representatives and Romanian organizations involved in health education, medicinal plant research, and deeper study of the traditional Ayurvedic system.

Andrei Gămulea described the continuing development of activities coordinated by Ayush Cell Romania and AMN-România to promote knowledge of the different branches of Ayurveda.

Over more than 30 years, Ayurveda study and research centers have been established, together with an extensive network of educational and promotional activities in different localities and online.

A varied range of current activities supports the transmission of traditional Ayurvedic knowledge, and participation in the different Ayurveda study and training programs organized in Romania through Ayush Cell Romania, AMN-România and Ayus Grup România has been substantial.

These results demonstrate sustained interest in Ayurveda in Romania. They also show the ability to organize coherent programs and bring together people interested in Ayurvedic principles, balanced lifestyles, and traditional natural resources.

An important part of the discussion concerned the bilingual publishing series Ayurveda in Romania. Through its Romanian- and English-language content, the series publicizes the results of documentation activities and provides a broad picture of how Ayurveda has been received in Romania.

The volumes help circulate information between Romania and India and highlight interest in medicinal plants, their many properties, and traditional ways of understanding health.

Bilingual publication allows work produced in Romania to become known abroad. The series thus serves as a publishing record of the continuity of these activities and the connection between the two cultural spheres through Ayurvedic knowledge.

His Excellency Dr. Manoj Kumar Mohapatra supported continued dialogue and emphasized the importance of a scientific foundation for understanding Ayurveda. Research findings have universal value, but their presentation must be adapted to each country’s context.

In Romania, this approach can take account of experience already gained with medicinal plants and the long tradition of local Romanian phytotherapy.

The discussion highlighted the particular attention India gives to scientific research into Ayurvedic knowledge.

Rigorous data facilitates communication with specialists from different fields and allows a more precise understanding of Ayurvedic principles, mechanisms, and applications. Research thus becomes a shared language through which traditional Ayurvedic experience can engage with the standards of contemporary knowledge.

Andrei Gămulea pointed out that this scientific dimension can be linked to areas already developed in Romania and Europe.

Cooperation with institutions responsible for plant-related matters offers a direct perspective on how traditional information can be presented rigorously and responsibly. The dialogue also emphasized the need to present Ayurveda as a complex system of knowledge.

Ayurveda encompasses a profound vision of life, the relationship between human beings and the environment, and the factors contributing to balance.

Understanding Ayurveda requires connecting several levels, from personal processes to the broader relationships that integrate human beings into nature and society. This perspective explains the diversity of educational, promotional, and research activities developed in Romania.

Education, documentation, medicinal plant research, publishing, and dialogue with specialists are complementary expressions of the same commitment to a thorough understanding of Ayurveda.

The results achieved have led to institutional structures capable of sustaining regular study programs and making a substantial contribution to establishing Ayurveda in Romania.

The July 31, 2026 meeting was characterized by openness and shared appreciation of the role of knowledge, research, and dialogue.

The favorable position expressed by His Excellency Dr. Manoj Kumar Mohapatra confirms the importance of direct communication and a clear presentation of results achieved in Romania in studying and promoting Ayurveda.

Through accumulated experience, the breadth of educational activities, and continuity of publishing projects, Ayurveda has an active, well-established presence in Romania.

The dialogue at the Embassy of India highlighted this reality and reaffirmed the value of bringing Romania and India closer through a particularly valuable traditional body of knowledge that continues to be studied, documented, and shared for the benefit of everyone.

The table of contents of the digital magazine Ayurveda Agenda includes details about the chapters of educational resources at each study level covered.

The July 2026 issue of the digital medicinal plants magazine: 12 new video presentations on valuable plants, examining traditional uses, ethnobotany, and modern phytotherapeutic research

A new July 2026 issue of the Digital Medicinal Plants Magazine has been published, continuing the development of one of Romania’s most extensive collections of video presentations devoted to medicinal plants.

The new edition brings together twelve additional plant resources examined through an interdisciplinary approach, combining traditional phytotherapy with modern scientific literature in a concise, accessible presentation useful in practice.

Each presentation seeks to highlight the representative property that distinguishes a plant and gives it a specific functional profile, while also considering the full range of its known therapeutic uses.

The July 2026 issue includes twelve further presentations on plants of interest to phytotherapy, health education, and the study of medicinal botanical resources.

A defining aspect of this presentation series is how the information is organized. Each plant is examined through a representative theme selected on the basis of specialist literature and practical relevance.

This approach makes it easier to understand a plant’s functional profile and integrate the information into a coherent view of phytotherapy. Choosing one representative action for each plant provides a clear study reference and distinguishes this presentation collection from traditional descriptive approaches to medicinal plants.

The videos draw on complementary information from ethnobotany, phytotherapy, pharmacognosy, and current biomedical research, providing a clear, up-to-date picture of each plant’s potential. They highlight the plant part used, its predominant functional property, and the supporting documentary evidence, making each presentation useful both as an introduction for interested audiences and as a resource for students, practitioners, and researchers seeking deeper knowledge.

This method makes the information easier to compare across plants and helps readers systematically understand relationships among different categories of phytotherapeutic actions.

Digital Medicinal Plants Magazine thereby strengthens its role as an educational platform under continual development, with each new issue expanding a documented knowledge base that can be explored either through monthly issues or by selecting personalized videos. Users can follow the plants in each issue’s proposed order or create thematic pathways tailored to their interests and goals.

Access to the videos is integrated into the platform ayushcell.ro and requires signing in to an account.

Selective access to each monthly issue:

The new Digital Medicinal Plants Magazine feature allows users to select a personalized package of at least 12 video presentations, building their own edition from the entire plant collection available on Ayush Cell România.

As the platform has developed ayushcell.ro, the study experience offered by the Digital Medicinal Plants Magazine has been expanded with a feature giving users greater flexibility and personalization.

The new “Choose Your Own Plant Package” section lets users freely select video presentations from all issues published to date and combine them into a personalized package of at least twelve plants.

The main benefit is the ability to create a truly individual edition of the digital magazine. Users can combine plants from different issues to create a package suited to their study goals and personal interests. Each video costs just one leu, and the resulting package can be viewed for twelve days.

The new feature opens many possibilities for exploration. Users can assemble collections of plants with similar properties, such as antioxidant, hepatoprotective, adaptogenic, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, capillary-protective, depurative, or nootropic plants.

They can also select plants used to support a particular bodily system, such as the digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, endocrine, or nervous system, turning each package into a thematic study tool.

The feature also supports selections based on botanical or documentary criteria. Users can group plants from the same botanical family, plants studied through the same part—leaves, flowers, roots, rhizomes, fruits, seeds, or bark—or less familiar plants whose therapeutic value deserves closer study.

Search and the alphabetical index make it easy to identify each plant and assemble collections for a particular educational project, research topic, or area of interest.

As the video presentation collection grows with new monthly issues, opportunities for personalization increase. Users can return at any time to create new thematic combinations, add to existing selections, or explore different perspectives on phytotherapy. The magazine thus evolves into a genuine medicinal plant knowledge base, allowing each user to create an individual learning path.

Through this feature, Digital Medicinal Plants Magazine offers a modern, effective way to access information, turning the full collection of videos into a flexible, easy-to-explore resource tailored to each user’s needs. Each personalized package thus becomes a thematic edition designed around individual interests, pace, and study goals.
