Cannacraft understands that true greatness walks a fine line between harm and healing, myth and medicine
At the heart of this balance lies Vijaya, the classical Ayurvedic name for cannabis, revered in ancient Indian texts like the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita for its therapeutic potential. For over 3,000 years, Vijaya has played a role in India's traditional health systems. Cannacraft brings it back into the spotlight with legality, authenticity, and respect for its cultural roots. As the flagship initiative of Greencraft Bioscience LLP, Cannacraft Rx and Health Dispensary in Surat stands as Gujarat's first Ayurvedic dispensary dedicated solely to cannabis leaf-based medicines. Every formulation is prescribed by certified BAMS doctors and follows Schedule E(1) protocols under the NDPS Act exemption for cannabis leaves and the Bombay Prohibition Act. To take this mission beyond clinical walls, Cannacraft introduced Beyond Hemp Functional Café, a first-of-its-kind FSSAI-compliant space in Surat. Focused on hemp seed nutrition and industrial hemp education, the café offers immersive experiences built on taste, curiosity, and learning. QR-coded educational displays help visitors explore the science, history, and nutritional value of hemp in an open and stigma-free setting. Consultations and guidance are provided with medical discretion, ensuring each individual's journey is rooted in trust and personalized care. There is no trend-chasing, only a return to balance by blending ancient Ayurvedic healing with modern wellness sensibilities. By linking revered texts such as Bhavaprakasha Nighantu and Sharangdhar Samhita to contemporary therapeutic relevance, Cannacraft positions Vijaya as a time-tested botanical with enduring value rather than controversy. Gujarat is now ready for a unique healing movement in Surat with the Cannacraft dispensary and the Beyond Hemp Functional Café leading the way. With expansion through franchising, digital infrastructure, and public education, Cannacraft is shaping a future where Ayurvedic cannabis is respected, understood, and responsibly accessed.

VP Dhankhar inaugurates statues of Acharya Charaka, Sage Susruta at Goa Raj Bhavan
Panaji (Goa) [India], May 22 (ANI): Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar inaugurated the statues of Acharya Charaka and Sage Susruta installed at Raj Bhavan, Goa, on Thursday. State Governor PS Sreedharan Pillai and Chief Minister Pramod Sawant were present. Acharya Charaka is regarded as the father of Ayurveda, and Sage Susruta as the father of surgery. 'Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar inaugurated the statues of Acharya Charaka - 'Father of Ayurveda' and Sage Susruta - 'Father of Surgery' at Raj is a very unique program,' Chief Minister Sawant told reporters. 'The tourists will surely see the Vaman Vriksha Kala Udyan (Bonsai Garden) and statues of Acharya Charaka and Sage Susruta,' he added. According to officials, the Goa Raj Bhavan has emerged as an eco-friendly model by implementing various schemes for the protection of nature. For the last three years, Raj Bhavan has started various gardens on the campus of Raj Bhavan, namely Orchid Poly House, Jack Fruit Garden, Bio-Digestor Plant, Vaman Vriksha Kala Udyan, Aushadi Vatika, etc.. Besides, Raj Bhavan started a 'Gaushala' in the name of the Prime Minister, on his birthday and through this effort, protecting 'Swetakapila' cows. Goa Raj Bhavan received appreciation from all walks of life on these new initiatives, said Sanjeev C Gauns Dessai, Secretary to the Governor. The Secretary further informed that as a part of the Vaman Vriksha Kala Udyan (Bonsai Garden) and Indian Medicinal Heritage, bronze statues of Acharya Charaka (Father of Ayurveda) and Sage Sushruta (Father of Surgery) are designed and installed in the lawns/garden of Raj Bhavan. These two were brilliant physicians of ancient India, and the two books, the Charaka Samhita and Sushrata Samhita, authored by them are renowned and in use even today for their deep knowledge and comprehension of medicine. Sage Sushruta, also known as the Father of Surgery, was not only a well-known medical practitioner in India but also across the world. (ANI)
