About Nava

Modern science, grounded in timeless eastern wisdom.

Nava International is a nonprofit institute taking a holistic approach to health — across the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of life — delivered through education, services, and products.

Our story

From a single seed, a living tree

More than three decades ago, a versed, loving, and devoted physician laid the cornerstone of this soul-stirring Nava. In the heart of an age of iron and concrete, the late Dr. Abbas Roohbakhsh planted Nava’s authentic, fruitful seed and nourished it with his loving heart — so that in its shade, body and mind might find room to grow; for it is through the flourishing of the two together that the soul takes wings to fly and evolve.

Rooted in deep knowledge, and explained through the modern sciences, the tree of Nava spread its branches and bore fruit — soothing many souls and restoring many bodies. Today, Nava International is a branch of that great and venerable tree, carried forward by Dr. Eyvazi and a worldwide community of volunteers.

Our vision

A healthy, balanced, and self-aware life for all people, in harmony with nature.

Our mission

To raise the level of health across the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual domains — using modern sciences grounded in ancient teachings, and delivered through our services, products and educational content. This health is reached at three levels: the individual, the family, and, through them, society.
