Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju
Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju was born on 23rd April 1967 in Alaakaapuram, Andhra Pradesh. Coming from a family that followed Naturopathy and Natural Living, he developed an interest in natural food and healthy living from childhood. His personal experiences with natural food, yoga, and fasting strengthened his belief in the benefits of Natural Living. He later pursued deeper knowledge of Yoga and Naturopathy, with the aim of helping people lead healthier and happier lives.
Decades of research into salt-, sugar- and oil-free nutrition and non-drug wellness practices shaped the programme followed across the campus today.
