Today, she lives with her family in Slovenia, in Europe. In his youth, he was actively involved in sports, particularly basketball. However, a serious sports injury interrupted his promising athletic path and led him to seek a deeper purpose in life. In India, the land of his father and ancestors, he discovered various spiritual traditions and Eastern methods of understanding human biological balance. As a recipient of the Gandhi Scholarship, he studied Ayurvedic medicine at the Ramakrishna Mission of the Vivekananda community in the Indian state of Sikkim. He also focused on Naturopathic medicine and gained practical experience in Tibetan medicine (Sowa-Rigpa). He acquired most of his practical knowledge—especially in herbal medicine—from the Rashtriya Guni Mission (RGM) in Rajasthan, a community of traditional healers supported by India’s Ministry of AYUSH. Their deep knowledge of botany and the medicinal properties of plants has contributed significantly to modern Ayurvedic pharmacology. Since 1999, has been working at the Institute of Ayurveda, Ayur Ashram, where he is the founder and practices servant leadership. He collaborates with experts from India and Tibet—professors, doctors, pharmacists, and others—with the aim of promoting education and development in the field of traditional medicine and medicinal plants for the people of Southeastern Europe. He actively free workshops and public lectures. In his Ayurvedic practice, he uses traditional acupuncture based on the Sushiveda technique—an element of Tibetan medicine (Sowa-Rigpa).

Vaidya – dr. Manpa, through the “Temple of Ayurvedic Knowledge”, that comes primarily through the students, clients, and people we meet in life in general. Smajo Safić Gupta, prof. Vaidya – dr.

Pozdravljeni, Tashi Delek, Namaste and Welcome
Iam especially proud of my life path – self-knowledge of my reincarnation – mission and karma – activities this Life. Due to a sports injury to my knee, I had a short sports career and “during a sports break” I completed my graduate studies in basketball as a first-class coach at the Faculty of Sports in Ljubljana. After recovering from a knee injury, I started a basketball coaching period in Slovenia, where I live with my family. He started his professional coaching work in KK Litija and Sports student club Megaron, later continued as a mentor to coaches in ŽKD Šentvid and KK Škofja Loka, and together with top athlete Simon Rudež, introduced a new way of working in basketball – a combination of physical preparation and sports nutrition in KK Olimpija. In collaboration with Dr Brane Dežman at the Faculty of Sports in Ljubljana, i took part a co-author of professional literature, primarily intended for work with the youngest. In Slovenia collaborated on the project of Little basketball, with Mr. Janez Drvarič in the Basketball Association of Slovenia. I had a special relationship with my friend Jure Zdovac, as the first coach in his basketball school, in 1991 we organized an international basketball camp in Umag, Croatia and Portorož, Slovenia together. I also organized and professionally managed basketball camps and schools in Europe and the United States. At the invitation of the Basketball Academy in the USA, led the project in Europe – Basketball and Secondary Education in the USA through NBA Europe s.a.s., based in Paris (The sponsor and partner Spalding). In the basketball project, what happened in society happened – everyone wanted to get work and money quickly, success in such long-term projects is not possible, just like in life. I am also connected to sports by working with athletes as a special physiotherapist before and after the Olympic games: 1996 in Atlanta, 2000 in Sydney and 2004 in Athens.
I retired from the sports life, dedicated myself to spiritual and esoteric sciences and today i Live as a traditional doctor, of Ayurvedic and Sowa-Rigpa medicine. My “daily learning” and everyday work comes from the state of Sikkim, where I fell in love and remain faithful to this love that comes from Tibetan medicine Sowa-Rigpa. Sikkim situated in the eastern Himalaya, is notable for its biodiversity, including alpine and subtropical climates, as well as being a host to Kangchenjunga (most 35% of the state is covered by the Khangchendzonga National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the highest peak in India and third highest on Earth. Something little and beautiful and interesting place / environment Sikkim – is a multi-ethnic and multilingual Indian state. The predominant religions are Hinduism and Vajrayana Buddhism. Sikkim accounts for the largest share of cardamom production in India, and is the world’s second largest producer of the spice after Guatemala. It is also among India’s most environmentally conscious states! The Kangchenjunga Himal section of the Himalayas lies both in Nepal and India and encompasses 16 peaks over 7,000 m (23,000 ft). Because of its remote location in Nepal and the difficulty involved in accessing it from India, the Kangchenjunga region is not much explored by trekkers. It has, therefore, retained much of its pristine beauty. In Sikkim too, trekking into the Kangchenjunga region has just recently been permitted. The Goecha La trek is gaining popularity amongst tourists. For generations, there have been legends recounted by the inhabitants of the areas surrounding Kanchenjunga, both in Sikkim and in Nepal, that there is a valley of immortality hidden on its slopes. These stories are well known to both the original inhabitants of the area, the Lepcha people, and Limbu people and those of the Tibetan Buddhist cultural tradition. In Tibetan, this valley is known as Beyul Demoshong. Sikkim is a state in north-eastern India it borders Tibet in the north and northeast, Bhutan in the east, Nepal in the west, and West Bengal in the south.
The purpose of My Life is to connect Hippocrates, Ayurvedic, and Sowa-Rigpa Medicine
Traditional medical systems are holistically focused on health, and its goals are to help people live long, healthy and balanced / vital lives through the main guidelines: disease prevention, development of higher awareness, diagnosis and integrative treatment of diseases. Through many years of work, I am proud of my mission – the activities of the therapeutic program Sushiveda, I would dare to say that I perfected, i.e., patented two therapeutic processes Sushiveda (Sowa-Rigpa) and Namimarmacikic (Ayurveda) through successful work with clients / patients. I perform both processes for two reasons. The first reason is the culture of people in Europe. Another reason for faster success is that both processes support the preservation of psychophysical condition, work of blood and lymph flow, muscular and nervous systems, and improve people’s metabolism in both a preventive and curative state of life. The Sushiveda therapeutic program is derived from the Tibetan medicine of Sowa-Rigpa, a 4,000-year-old healing technique that advocates living in accordance with the constructive principles of nature on the physical, mental, moral and spiritual levels and advocates “Better health without drugs”. The Sushiveda therapeutic program is a system based on the synthesis of Tibetan (Sowa-Rigpa), Indian (Ayurvedic), Persian (Unani) medical systems. A special Acupuncture process uses very thin disposable needles. The needle enters the body painlessly and connects the body / health through meridians, i.e., energy channels, which are arranged anatomically and precisely according to the size of each body depending on the problem (the body meridians and problem vitality / health) person.
Building relationships for which it is worth Living
I developed the Namimarmacikic or abdominal a Ayurvedic therapeutic massage (between the chest and hips containing the pancreas, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, urinary bladder smooth muscle ion channels and other organs), process mainly due to the high incidence of prostate cancer in men and lymph node cancer (Hodgkin’s lymphoma) and major gynaecological problems in women – some therapeutic institutions in India named this procedure after me. The Namimarmacikic Ayurvedic process combined with the Sowa-Rigpa several processes soothes, relieves and eliminates cramps in the abdominal area and calms the intestines. The therapeutic manual program also to people intended for people who have Vata disorders such as constipation, kidney stones, vomiting, abdominal pain, gas, spleen disorders, gout and acidity of the body. The process is very effective for people with prostate problems and women with hormonal problems, premenstrual syndrome and menstrual disorders. The success of both therapeutic processes (or more natural therapeutic processes) depends on the duration of the (chronic) problem and the general psychophysical condition of the person. The treatment experience is individual, as are the expected results, the program itself follows the results of each client and I never give make unrealistic promises. With a therapeutic naturopathic program, you can step by step improve the quality of your life and bring peace to your soul. In my work, I am inspired by the desire to understand a person who wants to change their life for the better. The therapeutic manual program activates the body’s energy, (body meridians / vitality) because any stagnation causes a disruption of the energy balance, which ultimately leads to illness.
To be happy today is the foundation of the future
And lastly, what makes me happy is that I pass on a lot of joy / knowledge to the students so that through their future work they can guide health maintenance people, i.e., guide a person to change and the way of eating, be the rhythm of daily hygiene, lifestyle habits and exercise to maintain a healthy / vital state-of-life century. The patient must be treated and viewed as a Purusha (cosmic scourge) and not just as a body, and this means that through the natural therapies of Ayurveda and Sowa-Rigpa Medicine, the person is Happy. Happiness is not outside of us; it lives within us. Peace of mind is necessary for happiness, and even more so for health, which is the basis of a good life. All systems of schooling and education for every person on Earth, including for us, represent a part of our life experience that primarily enables us to have an important material existence that we often equate with happiness. In order for our life to become more meaningful, we realized that we should devote ourselves to changing ourselves. Changing yourself means learning! Experience can tell us that the time has come when energy and information are gradually and continuously spread by true teachers who teach all people around the world about their true nature and purpose of existence. She has been our true teacher for thousands of years is the traditional medicine of Ayurveda and Sowa-Rigpa, through the tantric explanation that it is for a happy and healthy life comes from good thoughts and daily work, as well as a positive attitude towards yourself and others. The client / patient is never advised to ignore the treatment recommended by their personal doctor or specialist in Western medicine (Hippocrates)– for which I am proud that “on that topic and approach” I also wrote the ethical code (www.ayur-ashram.in) of work within the Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine (TCIM) in Europe.
