Balkrishna’s contributions to Ayurveda and natural medicine span decades. He has authored over 120 books on Yoga and Ayurveda, published more than 300 research papers in reputed international journals, and guided the development of 100+ evidence-based Ayurvedic medicines. His Herbal Encyclopaedia is widely regarded as a valuable resource for future research, while his work on over 25 ancient Ayurvedic manuscripts and the creation of the “Herbal World” in Uttarakhand have further cemented his role in bridging tradition with science.
Congratulating him, yoga guru Ramdev said Balkrishna had given Ayurveda scientific validation and opened new global avenues for natural medicine research. He described the recognition as a historic milestone that highlights India’s research strength and the vast untapped potential of herbal knowledge.
Balkrishna’s consistent presence in Stanford’s global rankings underscores his unique role in connecting traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with modern scientific inquiry — a legacy that continues to inspire researchers worldwide to explore holistic approaches to healthcare.
