On 7 May 2019, ADAVED (Confederation of German Ayurveda Organizations) was founded jointly by Ayurveda associations and committed Ayurveda institutions in the fields of education, spas and clinics, products and manufacturers, research and media. This was the fulfillment of German Ayurveda experts’ long-standing wish for an umbrella organization.

Lothar Pirc, CEO of Maharishi AyurVeda Health Centre Bad Ems, was elected to the board as representative of the DGA (German Society for Ayurveda).
