practical training and clinic based firsthand experience.

I am in process of starting a bigger Institute set up in Goa. It will have free treatment facility for all
the patients. This will allow the students to get many patients to learn by observation and for post
training internship.

There are many types of Acupuncture practiced all over the world. I plan to visit 65 countries and see
how the Acupuncture is taught and practiced. Till now I visited 14 countries.

My Guru Prof Dr sir Anton Jayasuriya was greatest Acupuncture teacher ever. Acupuncture
though famous as Chinese method of treatment, has its origin in Indian Marma Shashtra, the
ancient warfare technique. Acupuncture is very complicated system and needs many years of
learning to really be competent practitioner. Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on many
ancient theories and beliefs and concepts. These are very difficult to understand by non
Chinese people.
When my Guru was sent by Government of Sri Lanka to china to learn acupuncture, he
decided to modify the whole science into an “ easy to learn method”. He thus devised
scientific Acupuncture method. He taught this method to more than 25000 students in The
open International University of Complimentary medicine in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
He successfully treated thousands of patients absolutely free for 43 years. He died in 2005. I
was his favorite student and was always around him in my training period. I thus had
opportunity to observe and learn more than any of other students. He also kept on telling me
tips for further study and development.
Now I may be only one who can systematically teach Dr Anton Jayasuriya’s Method of
Acupuncture. I may be only Acupuncturist, who have treated more than 200000 patients with
near 100% results in last 46 years of practice.
