Dear Vaidyagrama,
You are brave, young, old, utterly unusual and I am blessed to have passed through!
Today, saying a prayer for wellbeing of the staff, i began to shake, then cry at the kindness so many of you towards me and the environment. Especially Deepika has been amazing and vaidyagrama is lucky that she came here!
Dr Ramadas’ enormous heart has brought out the best in me and so many more. Thank you everyone for helping me return to my body.
For now, some feedback:
I am a sensitive creature and sensitive to touch etc. I noticed that some of the therapists were tired, and I wished they were given more holidays and more space in the day to replenish themselves, as it impacts the treatment otherwise and their wellbeing. To me, treating someone’s body is a spiritual act, and in light of this, I wondered also how much the therapists were being resourced in this way. I have written this deliberately vaguely.
Lastly, there was a wide range in the standard of the therapists – at least in my experience. This seemed to have something to do with length of time they’d been at Vaidyagrama – Indu and Deekshitha were so brilliant and yet it cannot only have been to do with this, as Deepika, who I understand is much newer, seemed a total natural also. I know it has been a hard time for organizing therapists, given isolation and everything and perhaps also I am just a fussy creature, but I wanted to give this feedback because I felt therapists were under-sourced, in some way.
Second bit of feedback:
I am concerned for the Welfare of the books in the library! I borrowed one or two and they seemed to be suffering. Perhaps they might like more dusting and more ordering, and it can be open more, so that people can borrow more freely.
I’d like to write more but I need to pack.
The kitchen has been really kind and so accommodating.
The trees have been excellent friends. I have missed this sky and learnt to love noise to which I was previously so reactive.
With love,

The last visit was more for indulgence, but this time I needed the body to recover and get detoxed post-covid. All systems were cleared and i felt Swastha again! Grateful to all doctors, therapists, and staff for everything they do love and Pranams, Prayers for the wellbeing of all! Special thanks to Dr. Ramkumar and Sujatha who belong to the Varier family, who have been serving the Acharyas of Chinmaya Mission since many generations.

Thank you – I am so impressed with the holistic healing offered here, not only the patience, wisdom, care and attentiveness that go in to the consultations from doctors, which leave no doubt how thorough and genuine their commitment to healing is; and the kind therapists so attentively give incredible treatments and serve kashyam, water, food and bath to me with so much care – it felt more like being cared for by kind, loving relatives than being in a hospital.
Also the cleaning staff that were also smiling despite the hard work they do, the tremendous effort taken in making nourishing food, the laundry staff, the pujas, the satsang, the front desk and ..and..its impossible to list all the people and things that work so hard every day to contribute to this healing space – to my healing.
I am grateful for this opportunity for my stay and for everyone involved.
I will miss you all the birds chirping!
Thank you!

Happy to be back in Vaidyagrama once more. It is a spiritual and healing retreat.
Thanks to all the therapists for their compassionate and loving service.
Housekeeping and other staff are wonderful, always pleasant, and helpful.
Dr Shyam, Dr Sreeji, Dr Mini and Dr Anagha were very caring and spent time talking to us answering all the questions. Satsang with all the doctors were great, not only in understanding Ayurvedic principles but also to apply them in daily life. We are very grateful to Dr. Ramdas for his loving care. He inspires us with his knowledge and spiritual way of approaching everything in life and surrendering to the Higher power. Finally, thanks to Vaidyagrama for the positive energy and the peaceful atmosphere it provides.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
I can’t express how grateful i am after this incredible journey. I could witness day after day how everyone is so dedicated and attentive to patient needs.
Here everyone is practising pure and unconditional service. The healing energy is present in each room and everyone from the therapists, the doctors, the cleaning ladies to the security guards are always ready to help with a smile.
I have never heard of a clinic where doctors serve lunch to their patients during community lunches.
I don’t know what to say more that infinite thanks to all of you. My heart is full, and my body has changed inside out during this transformative month.
I come back home with some medicines and the understanding that true healing only happens when we choose to be brave, to change what we were doing before and to empower ourselves enough to see that it is already all here, alright here.
So, I choose not to waste the gift of this now.
Thank you all for what I have received.
Many blessings!

First impression is the best impression. Sandhya’s warm welcome and sincere work is wonderful.
The structure of Pathways to illams are amazing. “Illams” are beautiful and the sky, sunlight and sun rays coming through the center open space and glass tiles from the roof make to smile always.
The Brindavan Garden always singing and dancing with their birds, takes me to heaven and I sing this song – ” Brindavanathil aanandamaakave nandanam aaduvom gopimaare”! My doctor Dr Ramdas is an amazing person. I thank him for sharing his wisdom of Ayurveda and giving counselling and his team of doctors Dr Shyam, Dr Mini and Dr Sreeji are very kind enough and very sincere. The girls who are giving food and medicines are very sincere towards their duties.
Room keepers, Sweepers…. everybody wishes and keep smiles towards us whether we know them or not and spreading positive energy in Vaidyagrama. I’d give special thanks to Ms Maya who gave meditative and medicative treatment. The morning and evening prayer give Shanti and spread Shanti everywhere. The special poojas are good. I am enjoying the Golden Leaves on the earth and silver rays through the trees.
Some suggestions are,
Could you please,
– Avoid aluminum vessels for keeping on fire, ever-silver can be used.
– While doing cow Pooja and cow Pongal, the floor is slipping for the cows. So they can be frightened. To whom we are doing Pooja, they should feel happy and safe. So can’t we do these poojas inside the Mandapam
– Even if the charge or payment is increased 500 rupees per day, it’s better to get vegetables and groceries from organic holders.
Finally, and once again I thank God who gave this opportunity for being in this ” Seva maiyam” – that is “Vaidyagrama”.

This place was quite nice, very friendly and Nature-filled. I enjoyed the herbal tea they serve.
I think it would be nice to hire more people since one staff has many jobs like doing the treatment. Serving food from the kitchen to all places which are very far.
The food is nice but maybe heavy for patients. I took staff food since I am a child not patient.
I am not patient but can see via others that this treatment helps.
Room service does good tidying.
Sometimes I felt bored but managed with reading, drawing and or exploring and talking to people; overall it was good. Thanks for listening to me!

Respected Dr.Ramanand & Dear Dr.Suvedha – thanks for all your support and treatment. Everyone in Vaidyagrama is very sincere and dedicated. I am really glad that we chose this place for treatment, after the treatment felt very relaxed.
Thanks Dr.Suvedha, for arranging & organising efficiently whenever we had a request. Really felt like a home with all the care that was provided who will look after us after going from here.
Appreciate all the good efforts of Vaidyagrama, which is helping many people and touching so many lives. Everyone was so kind and polite; rooms were maintained clean & tidy, surrounded with so many plants & trees; its very calming & soothing. Food was tasty but I felt its heavy, loved the tea, soup & fruits served. Special thanks to Bindhu & Maya for their excellent service very hardworking & patient. Love their work. Thanks for the prayers, I enjoyed chanted Lalitha sahasranamam daily at the temple.
Overall, it was a great experience hoping to have the chance to come again.

Dear Doctors & therapists,
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and benefitted from it. The place is built very thoughtfully for a healthy program. Doctors & therapists are very loving & sincere, which is hard to expect these days. Especially the therapists are doing an amazing job too.
Food served is nutritious and sattvic in nature. A big thanks to the people in cooking service. We will miss the group lunches and the songs after that. Satsang was a place to share useful information and ask questions. Especially Dr.Ramkumar’s satsang was very enjoyable.
Big thanks to Dr.Ramanandan, Dr.Suvedha – you both took good care of us.
Thanks to reception team, they did the arrangements and communicated promptly. Only point to mention is about the information in the receipts. It could have been presented better for us to understand.
See you all next year!

I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to be back at Vaidyagrama. The care given to us by Dr.Vinod, Dr.Prameela, Dr.Harikumar, Dr.Ramanandan, & therapists Aathira, Indu and all of them were exceptional.
All of us feel much better. My son loved it here. looking forward to coming back!
Constructive feedback: I would have appreciated more precise, coherent info from accounts department.
Thank you again, Vaidyagrama!

The doctors and therapists are nothing short of amazing.
Special thanks to my immediate doctors Dr.Harikumar, Dr. Vinod and Dr.Prameela for patiently answering my unending questions.
With lots of best wishes and a hope to return!

Hi, I am starting off with a positive note that I have lost 10 kgs in a month in this blissful place. Losing 10 kgs in a month was a dream come true moment for me. And I would like to thank everyone in this vibrant healing space who supported and helped me to achieve this feat.!
First off, all, I would like to thank Dr Ramkumar for having the Vision of creating this beautiful environment, which helps in healing both the body and mind. Folks in here are magical, who bring in a lot of things in the table. Everyone I have met in this place have always been welcoming, supporting… and the list goes on… I would like to thank all the therapist-annas, who have been the key pillars of support in my treatment – Girish, Santhosh, Vinod, all everyone…
My doctors Dr Mini, Dr Shyam were like my two eyes. I would ask ‘n’ number of questions on the treatment, general doubts and not even once they have been hesitant in clearing out with answers.
I would like to thank both of you for all the support, care, and affection that you give to me in this course of one month. Dr Ramadas- my inspiration here, whatever the question may be on life, he always has the simplest of solutions for it. The problems which I thought were very big just crumbled in my heart after hearing his views on the problem.
The Satsangs here were an eyeopener for me. This is my first time here and to an ayurvedic place; and the Satsang helped me a lot to understand the basics of ayurveda and what is needed from our end to make sure we are healthy. Special thanks to Dr Ramkumar for taking out time in having those Satsang sessions. You will always learn something new from his sessions every day. I would like to thank Dr Ramanandan, Dr Harikumar, Dr Vinod, Dr Sreeji, Dr Anupama for clearing out my doubts on various topics in Ayurveda.
I have earned one more family here after a month and really love to visit here in near future if necessary. Once again, I would like to thank every single person in the healing space for making the journey pleasant and wonderful. Thanks to my fellow patients who have been a constant source of support, motivation, and guidance. I thank my mom at this moment for advising me to come here and it’s been the best decision in my life till now. I have made a lot of friends and mentors etc, and i hope to be in touch with them.
I will recommend this place to everyone. And one piece of advice, from a senior: Never doubt the treatment here and trust the doctor 100%, You would see the results by yourself!
Thank you once again for all the love and support.
Signing off!

Dear Dr.Ramanandan, Dr.Suvedha and team.
It has been my absolute good fortune to have come to Vaidyagrama. If it was not for you, Dr.Ramanandan, we would not have found out about my mother’s illness. While we have had to leave so quickly, I will always be immensely grateful for your intuition and quick action. Much much thanks!
I know that I was unable to go through the treatment myself, but there is no place else I would go to and will definitely come back.
As my mom expressed to you, Dr.Ramanandan, this place feels like home. The gentleness, sensitivity and competence combined with the authentic rigour of what you do with the treatment protocol is amazing.
This is a lot to say for someone who has been here for only 5 days, but I leave with a lot of hope and belief that all will be well.
I truly hope that I will be able to come back here with my mom.
Tons of gratitude to the team here!

Hi.. First of all, I would like to thank all my therapists. They made me comfortable throughout my treatment. My Sincere thanks to them. Then come my doctors, Dr Sreeji, Dr Mini and Dr Shyam. They were all friendly, listening to me. All of them were having cheerful face. Even I was boring with my talk, they never showed their face…
“Alle doctor?”
My Sincere thanks to Dr Ramdas who always wishes me with Double Good Morning. As usual his prayer time was energetic. Then my Doctor Dr Ramanandan, thank you doctor. I was very comfortable here. I promise you doctor that I will follow the VG diet and medicines until you ask me to stop. Sorry, if I have violated VG rules here. Sorry, whenever you visited me, I was not there, and doctors had waited there. Sorry… These 21 days I am with positive energy and would like to carry on throughout my life
Thank You so much Vaidyagrama!
Best Wishes to my family – Thank You So Much!

The 21 days that we spent here has been very rejuvenating and with ben able to observe a noticeable difference in our health and stress levels. Dr.Harikumar ,Dr. Ramanandhan, Dr. Vinod and Dr.Pramila have taken care of us very well. A special shout to therapists and housekeeping staff for going above and beyond their call of duty and always seeming us with a smile.

Vaidyagrama – A place of healing and restoration like none other.
Coming to Vaidyagrama has been the best gift one can give oneself. I feel like I’ve reached the halfway mark in my life and hence an opportunity to prepare oneself for the next half. And I feel like this is the start of a renewed life, equipped with new knowledge about Prakriti and my body, its interconnections, its potential for regeneration and good practices to reach its true potential.
Through the entire duration of my stay, I received warm and attentive care from Dr Ramadas, Dr Anupama, Dr Meghala and Dr Aruna. And when Dr Ramadas had to step away due to personal matters, Dr Ramanandan and Dr Hari Kumar stepped in and ensured that the treatment progressed seamlessly. Shalini, the therapist in charge of my block was there for anything I needed. The therapist Biju was especially good with his attention and seemed to prioritise my care and cure over everything else, his commitment to my healing has no doubt played a big part in one feeling rejuvenated. All the other therapists Sajith and Libin put in a lot of care.
With the attention I received it felt like I was a child again and that all I had to was trust that I was in good hands and allow the healing to take its own course.
I leave Vaidyagrama with a lot of gratitude and I wish all the staff, good health and joy in their respective lives. May this very special place continue to flourish and spread its gift of healing to all those who need it. Thank You!
Warmly,

This is my 2nd visit to Vaidyagrama within a year, and I feel so much of love and gratitude to this healing place and the people.
VG is an oasis of love and healing. It just balances you with its simplicity and deep care. I always come here in a meltdown state and even though I have not managed to stay more than a week in each visit, I just go back so healed and loved.
Thank you to all my therapists Indu, Manju, Deekshitha, Vaishnavi, and others. All housekeeping and kitchen staff. Dr Ramadas, Dr Mini, Dr Shyam and Dr Sreeji. Also, deep regards and love for Dr Ramkumar, Dr Ramadas, Geetha ji, Sujatha ji, and Aparna ji.
Also, it is a place to find beautiful friends and fellow travelers on the spiritual journey. May God bless this space and may Vaidyagrama always be a healing home for so many of us!
Lots of love and gratitude,

Second visit to vaidyagrama, and yet first time for treatment. It is difficult to single out any one as super-duper as everyone has role models. In whatever they do and Vaidyagrama is hunch leader on all aspects!
A suggestion how can we create career paths for everyone and facilitate a mini-Vaidyagrama for common man. A thought for consideration….

I have been coming to VG regularly for the past 6 years. This place is my pilgrimage and home at the sometime. During my first massage I had experienced, I connected with my spirit, a part of me that I had been disconnected from and heart the road map for staying connected to it for my holistic healing.
And that happened because of each loving and nurturing soul that is connected to this place. There is so much loving and healing in the energies of Vaidyagrama! Starting with Aparna ji who welcomes you to Vaidyagrama with so much of warmth, it is the doctors, therapists, the kitchen staff, the house keeping staff and the office staff. All one receives in VG is unadulterated love!
I am forever grateful to Dr Ramadas for healing me and for showing me that my body is a temple and how to look after. And Dr Ramkumar, who patiently answered all my questions about life and its purpose, to everything under the sun. I am especially grateful also to Dr Ramanandan and Dr Sreeji, Dr Mini, for their special care on this visit. As always, I go back healed and with a heart full of gratitude for this place that’s my oasis to come back to. Bidding adieu for now until I come again.
May God continue to bless Vaidyagrama, as it provides healing to many!
Lots of love,

Vaidyagrama is like a home-away-from-home. The doctors and staff work effortlessly to make all the patients feel comfortable. My special thanks to Dr. Ramanandan who healed all my problems patiently and was there always.
My special thanks to Dr Renjisha who was like the lady with the lamp, always eager to help me by her words, her devotion and commitment to her profession made all the difference.
My therapists Vidya and Sreeshna were excellent. Vidya is efficient and prompt, she had a healing touch. Shakuntala too was perfect with her cleaning job.
Thanks!

A place you could say that fulfils and gives a holistic experience….That’s Vaidyagrama.
Staying and experiencing my stay was none other, but like ‘home. I came as a companion to my sister, but then took some treatment as i was around.
The complete experience was comfortable and satisfactory. Thanks to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Renjisha and therapists as well as the other staff.
Every aspect daily was well-cared and looked into by the ever-ready, helpful and kind staff around.
Thanks to each and every one. Look forward to coming back soon!

First of all, thanks to Dr. Ardent for introducing vaidyagrama for us.
A special thanks to vaidyagrama, we spend there 3 weeks and had a wonderful experience for our healthy life.
Thanks to all the staff and doctors. Dr.Prameela and Dr.Aparna were very supportive during the treatment and took special care that made us feel very much like a family.
We appreciate all the staff efforts to make the vaidyagrama as home.
Dr.Vinod ..thanks for the valuable advice and care.
Dr.Harikumar such a honorable person to meet you as a doctor.
To all the therapists and Bhagya, thank you very much for taking care. We don’t even know that we will get such supportive and care to make us feel better and request you to have food on time, advising us to make us feel healthy in mind and body. And we really appreciate everyone.
Thank you everyone!

Om! Arriving back to Vaidyagrama is like coming home for me after two long years being unable to leave Australia due to covid. I was longing for the wonderful therapists to do their magic and so they did. I silently thanked God for the good fortune to be here. As always, the cravings that had slowly crept up in the West with our tendency towards access were gone after a week or so of the wholesome diet since I now have a house at nivritti grama and I am settling down on the main campus and was able to do a wonderful silent self-Retreat during my treatments.. I am very grateful indeed for Vaidyagrama.

I came to Vaidyagrama looking for a way to Detox and relax my body and mind. The place truly delivered what I was seeking for. The doctors are professionals, caring and very receptive to changes in treatments. The therapists also are very caring and thorough with the treatments. the satsangs were informative and kept on afternoon sleeping naps in check. Special thanks to Dr.Ramadas, Dr. Renjisha Dr.Ardent and Dr.Aruna for their thorough treatment and making us comfortable with the treatment and processes involved. Also, Manju Mridula and Surya for the support. Hope to visit again for some requirements in the future

This was my first time to India and am so deeply grateful to have come to Vaidyagrama – it is totally a healing village here. The doctors were so attentive and patient with all my concerns and challenges and so wise and dedicated to Ayurveda and faith. The therapists were sweet and sattvik and wonderful, especially sreeshna. The cleaning ladies and reception, support staff, food prepares, delivers awesome.
I was surprised at how intense the purgation ended up, being yet deeply grateful for the entire experience. I saw lots of cool birds while here appreciated all the satsangs and poojas, immense care and love, that infuses this whole space.
Again, huge thanks to all, and Dr. Sajna and Dr. Ramanandan A bye from my humble heart.

I was so happy to see Dr.Ramadas again and to be in VG after 3 years.
His team is great with Dr.Mini and Dr.Shyam and the therapists. Thank you to all of you for listening, professionalism and generosity.
The reception organization sometimes complicated as for example getting an answer to a simple question from the first interrogation. You urgently need to occupy qualified staff in the kitchen.
In the meantime, officials briefly appear when visitors come to VG, and we could enjoy paradise in Sarees. It’s very nice but we would have liked more efficiency.
Thanks to hard workers, housekeepers, gardeners always with a smile on their face.
The nature is perfect and more and more excellent. I hope to return in 2 years.

Vaidyagrama – It was a great pleasure to meet again Vaidyagrama, its warm, attractive, and of course competent doctors. Thanks to Dr.Ramadas, Dr.Mini, and junior Dr.Shyam.
Thanks also to the very professional therapists and their assistant and a special mention to Indu and Shaniba who are just perfect.
On the other hand, as far as the meals are concerned, the quality of the preparation of the dishes has dropped since my last stay in 2019.
From my point of view the kitchen should be cleaned thoroughly every evening especially no dirty dish should stay at night because it can attract beasts. And on the reception side it seems difficult to get reliable information.
I also regretted not having the cup with water and flowers in the entrance of my block.
I had great pleasure to admire those flowers after my kashayam.
Hope to be back after 2 years for more enema.

Words will never do justice to an experience, especially a deep enriching one like I had at Vaidyagrama. I have immense thanks and gratitude to give all the vaidyagrama family especially the Doctors. (For being so incredibly patient, calm and understanding to all my needs).
The energy at this place is totally calm and incredibly soothing, something that makes a huge difference – the consistent prayers/ poojas and chanting and all the regular homas that are done make a subtle yet massive, massive difference.
P. S: Dr.Ramadas and his chirpy happy energy and the way he’s been able to relate to me mentally and sort of bring me back to earth during my mental influxes has been sort of a godsend! Thank you again to all my doctors, Dr.Ramanandan, Dr.Ramadas, Dr.Suvedha, Dr.Arun, Dr.Anupama and of-course the rest of the vaidyagrama family.

We had a very peaceful and relaxing and happy 3 weeks at vaidyagrama.
I am grateful that vaidyagrama has been my first encounter with ayurvedic healing practices.
I am going to back with a deeper understanding of so many and not so simple things, from the kitchen to a little more insight in to my own prakruthi.
The doctors, therapists, admin, maintenance, just about everyone here has helped us the healing journey. Patient ears and gentle smile.
I hope to continue my healing journey with more awareness and shape to return healthier.
Dr. Harikumar’s gentle reminder about faith in the process and taking responsibilities of our own healing seem to be the core we after to the background.
The utmost care in the treatments, medicines and food are consistent. One day in the bustle of the city is enough to send one rushing back to the oasis that is vaidyagrama.
A special thank you to Dr. Prameela and Dr. Aparna- ever available, happy to guide and answer queries and doubts. We learned with great gratitude to the entire team so dedicated to keeping the ancient wisdom and knowledge of our seers alive and evolving.
May such temples of healing flourish everywhere. May more such vaidyagrama take roots for all those who want to learn and heal.
With love and gratitude.
p.s: the tree plantation was such a warm and thoughtful gesture.
We will miss Bhagya s smile and the aroma of sambrani. There may be no need to mention names- however I would like to thank Bhagyalakshmi and Bindu, Suraj, Apsara and Swapna have been truly kind and helpful. Everyone here works hard.

I hope I will be hundred percentage cured by the treatment undergone by me.
Dr Aruna takes care and answer all the questions which I made to her. I am confident that Dr.Harikrishnan’s treatment and medicines prescribed by him will cure my symptoms which I am suffering from. I came to Dr. Harikrishnan with a hope and with the recommendation by my brother Mr. Murari Garodia. I am confident that I will be cured within 90 days.

First and foremost, let us take this opportunity to thank my son Vrindesh (we call him Dudu) who asked us to take treatment here in Vaidyagrama. We were a little bewildered at the thought of leaving our house and going to another place currently when covid spreads invariably in all places. After much thinking health is a felt if is a good decision to send us at our elderly age to this excellent unique healing Centre.
Everything here was very warming, we liked the atmosphere, the climate was all soothing. Even the sunlight emerging through the leaves and falling on the earth, still not hot, was pleasant to feel. We like the Holistic approach of the doctors they were all good in behaviour, especially our team of doctors Dr Sreeji, Dr Shyam Dr Ramdas and Dr Mini. Thank you all for your kindness and patience. Therapists were very nice and sincere in their jobs. Wish them all good in their future life. Likewise, the girls bringing food and the housekeepers. Very important to mention about the Pujas, the morning and evening prayers, all going on fantastically well.
And we enjoyed our group lunch. Altogether the stay here for 15 days gave as not only a change of life but taught us how to lead a healthy life also. If God permits, we will surely come after one year.
Once more thank you all. Thank you Vaidyagrama!

We cannot think of any emotions other than Gratitude. Gratitude for all you do, every single one of you, every day with a constant smile and happiness and for the sacrifice you and your families make so we could be better! Thank you all so much. When we come here, there was only a small glimmer of hope, but you are nothing less than Miracle workers. You helped us find a way to connect with the deeper self and taught us the importance of mind in the healing process. And now we go from here not just healed but with the warmth far beyond any measure.
We loved the concept and execution of the idea of vaidyagrama. The community and self-sustenance focus is amazing. Our only suggestion for the future is potentially including north Indian food style that can moulded in your guidelines. This is important to give option to sustain a lifestyle for someone not south Indian. Also, another thing is about including or advising about north Indian based climates and foods, as this will be very helpful for NRIs or foreigners. The one definite area of improvement would be when a junior therapist assists a senior one there are often inconsistencies in the treatment. We only ask that the senior therapist also supervise the work of trainees for a consistent treatment experience.
That said, we are forever grateful to the expertise of some of our therapist who not only did well themselves but also cared so much as if we were their own kids. Thanks to Chiranjeevi, Suraj, Maya, Miriamma, Anju, Aiswarya, Anju, Kavitha, Swapna,Apsara for taking such good care of us.
Lastly, Dr. Harikumar, you seemed to have third eye that can look beyond our bodies into the souls. Your team of Doctors, Dr. Prameela, Dr. Vigneshawri, Dr Aparna, Dr. Vinod are all amazing and we loved all the chats and check-ins every day. Thank you all. And a special thanks to Bhagya akka for everything she does for us.
With tons of gratitude and lots of love,

This was my first time at Vaidyagrama. I really enjoyed the stay. It was relaxing and gave me time and energy to think about myself. I would like to thank Dr. Ramanandan & Dr. Suvedha for round the clock monitoring and help, whatever and whenever required. I want to thank all the therapists Arun, Vinod, Ratheesh (especially) etc. for the genuine care and treatment, they gave. And of course, all the support staff that was eager to help with smile. I enjoyed the satsangs as I got lot of information about Ayurveda in particular and healthy living in general. Last but not the least the morning (which I attended very few) and evening prayers by Dr Ramadas. His voice just takes you in a zone.
My journey with vaidyagrama has just began and I hope something positive comes out of it.
Thanks!

This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama.
My stay (21 days) was relaxing, healing. Thanks to the care of Doctors Harikrishnan, Ramanandan, Suvedha. The therapists took great care of me as well.
The campus is clean, environmental-friendly. It was also a place to meet others from various parts of the world and exchange thoughts & ideas.
The Satsangs were a forum to understand the basics of Ayurveda and philosophy. The morning and evening prayer sessions were important to calm the mind and help in the healing process.
I would like to make a suggestion. The afternoon (2.45pm) satsangs, when projecting slides, please make them easily readable by having the text in black or dark colours. Light makes difficult reading.
Thank you for this care, cure and attention given.

I would like the readers of this book to go and thank everyone here from Doctors to therapist to laundry to kitchen to cleaners to reception. Everybody here is taking care of our needs and even our wants. Ah ah…
The food was a bit difficult for a French living and the treatment was difficult, but I felt so. Much secured and supported.
It is very professional hospital, and we feel love and caring here, and doctors really want to heal you.
Thanks to all my doctors and thanks to make this medicine alive and prospering.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
I am beyond grateful for what you have done for me and my parents in 4 weeks. When the entire family had given up on my mother and asked me to come from California to see her for the last time. I heard about Vaidyagrama, and we came here as our last resort. How the treatment here not only saved my mother but also transformed my father. It’s been truly miraculous.
A big thanks to Dr Ramdas, Dr Mini, Dr Shyam, Dr Prameela for their wisdom, support, love, and care.
I also want to thank all the therapists and staff here. Bindu, Vinitha, Bagya Lakshmi, Sooraj, Girish, Shashi, Ranjit, Biju, Bhadra for going beyond their job to show what true Seva means. I can keep writing now wonderful my 4 weeks here have been for what I am writing a full book/script, for now I would say thank you again for showing me a new home in my proud country Bharat!

My wife was unwell for 10 years and underwent many allopathic treatments which did not find complete cure. And at last, we reached Vaidyagrama where the divinity of Lord Dhanwantari and Lord Shiva and Devi’s presence were found, and we are so grateful to reach a place like this. We got much improvement in the condition. I thank Dr. Ramadas sir for the continuous support and care.
Thank you all team!

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Where there is a beautiful feeling while you are healing, you choose healthy life in real sense and welcome “happiness” within. Every day at VG was totally new. New treatment, new food, sometimes challenging one yet all for well-being. Love for routine got restored with daily prayer time. Brahma kamalam was a beautiful anchoring for building connect with our own higher self with the vibrations of Mantra chanting. Gratitude to our Dr. Ramadas for making it serene and subtle. Gratitude to Dr. Hari kumar for his carefully planned treatment and inspiring team of Dr. Vinod, Dr. Prameela, and Dr. Aparna. Gratitude and special thanks to Maya and Swapna for being mindful, caring, and dutiful while giving massage and other treatments. Thank you for introducing God Dhanwanthari’s prayer before treatment.
Divine presences were felt while going through the treatment. Gratitude Suraj ji, Aparna Ji, and entire VG family for making our stay, our healing, and our way to wellness so creative, thoughtful and effective. Thank you to Bhagyam amma for dhoop everyday morning and evening in our room and surroundings.
One area of improvement that we suggest food choices for the treatment should be widened and be more inclusive in nature.
We are happy and grateful to the mother land of Coimbatore and especially Vaidyagrama for ‘healing within’ or us.

On my search for holistic healing and exploration for simple living and break from my routines I was referred to Vaidyagrama by one of my friends. As I entered this place, I found myself to be “BHAGYA IN WONDERLAND”. Ambience, nature around me including birds and warm welcome by Vaidyagrama staff was like instant cooler to my mind and soul. Could not ask for anything better than this and I realized that I am in the right place.
Thanks to the immense knowledge of Dr.Ramadas and his team Dr.Ardent Dr.Aruna and Dr.Renjisha and their commitment in attending and hearing us, treating us in an extremely amicable manner. Another important aspect of doctors which impressed me tremendously is their patience towards us, to enlighten us on the significance of overall healing rather than focus on specific issues. Thumbs up to my doctors’ group.
It is important to mention the magic done by the therapists. Sindhu – senior therapist is a true magician and just do wonders in her massages. Rajani and Archana as guided by seniors, perform great job during treatment. I literally feel like a pampered kid in hands of mother. Great work guys.
Not to discard to the excellent services by support teams- laundry, housekeeping, front office. Though it was a very short visit in Vaidyagrama I carry lots of information, happiness and joy and contentment and I look forward to coming again very soon. All the very best Vaidyagrama!

Vaidyagrama is a serene, wonderful place to stay. It is a place where you get relieved of all your tension and stress. The day starts with Prayer to the Almighty and ends with again Prayers. Of course, I cannot miss mentioning about the satsang. The doctors & the therapists are extremely courteous and kind. The housekeeping team maintains the entire premises spic & span. Thanks to the entire team led by Dr.Ramadas also assisted by Dr.Anupama & Dr.Shyam. The purpose of my visit is achieved with improvement in my sleep cycle and reduced acidity and throat-related issues. Once again thanks to the entire team for enabling a happily rejuvenating stay @ Vaidyagrama.

As I come to the end of my stay at Vaidyagrama it’s the same feeling one gets where one is leaving one’s mother’s home. I came here to heal physically and to find some time to sort out my thoughts. I leave feeling truly cared for by each one who I met and interacted with here. I am too small to comment on the doctors since they are so well read and knowledgeable and so compassionate while dealing with the patients. The therapists Indu, Bindu, Renuka and Kalpana are such joy to see every day. Dr Anupama, Dr.Shyam and Dr.Mini, under the able guidance of Dr Ramdas were nothing short of amazing in healing me truly. I feel deep sense of that due to everyone who made it possible for me to go back for more rejuvenated and stronger person than before. Wishing you the very best in the future!

It had taken me a long time to convince my parents to come away with me for 21 days of treatment something which they had no knowledge or prior experience of. In due end of these 21 days, I see change not only in them but in me as well one that I am looking forward to being a permanent one that will evolve time into a better way of living. I would like to express my eternal gratitude to wonderful team of doctors and therapists of Vaidyagrama and to those who envisioned this beautiful space and help maintain it.
Thank you deeply with the love and gratitude.

Vaidyagrama is the place where I had the time to introspect about my mind, body condition. The way the treatments went, the consultation with Vaidyas is always an eye-opener for the lifestyle to lead in the future. 21 days before the routine I had in my life and the routines I will have from now on has a paradigm shift. I am now confident to handle my health situation, to control the impacting emotional state. The takeaway is a good lesson learnt in terms of wisdom in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
I thank Dr.Harikrishnan and particularly Dr.Ranjisha for all the assessment, counselling to make me realize about leading a healthy lifestyle. The staff I interacted was always friendly, smiling, and caring. It is amazing to see them having abundant energy and never looked tired they work a lot and never showed any disappointments. Names to mention are Biju, Mariam, Rahim Kavitha the therapists, and housekeeping staff. I wish Vaidyagrama all the very best in the efforts to heal the humanity. Thank you very much for all your efforts!

Dear all, Vanakkam! Visiting Vaidyagrama is, for us a ‘homecoming’ we came to enrich our body, mind and spirit and we go back enriched indeed. Vaidyagrama is keen on healing and not merely curing. Medicines cure but compassion heals. Unlike other hospitals the doctors, therapists, supporting staff and everyone here strives to heal us through their devotion to the cause of ‘Punarnava’- a true rejuvenation.
We place on record our immense gratitude to our doctors- Dr.Ramanandan, Dr.Ardent Winston, Dr.Aruna, and Dr.Ranjisha. We are thankful to the galaxy of well-wishers-Dr.Ramadas, Dr.Ramkumar, Dr.Harikrishnan and Dr.Anupama, Ms. Aparna, Ms. Kavitha, Ms. Sujatha, Ms. Geetha and Mr. Krishnakumar. We do thank our therapists namely Ms. Kalpana, Ms. Anju, Ms. Bindu, Ms. Archana one and two, Ms. Maya and senior therapist Mrs. Sindhu who reminds me of Mrs. Devika, Mr. Biju, and Mr. Surya Narayan. Our special thanks to the super active supporting therapists Ms. Kavitha, Ms.Mariyamma and Ms.Rahima, special thanks to Devayani amma as mentioned in the beginning. We go back from this home adequately enriched, relaxed, and refreshed. Best wishes and prayers are always with everyone of Vaidyagrama. Thanks to Sandeep and Jency too!

Dear Vaidyagrama Family, first of all, thank you to the entire Vaidyagrama family for the wonderful treatment for my mom, specially I thank Dr.Harikumar sir for the support and care from the beginning till the end. And a very special thanks to Dr.Vinod sir for his care, support, and motivation. I really admire his dedication towards his work and the way of giving explanations for our doubts. He was the one who visits 3 times per day and giving the motivation to my mom. Also, I need to thank Dr.Prameela and Dr.Aparna mam for their care and support. Last but not the least I really want to thank therapists for their smiling faces and care.
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping akkas are also very kind and helpful. Then everyone around here was very friendly and supportive. Most important thing is that Vaidyagrama surroundings is very peaceful and had a pleasant feel over here for past 14 days. Everywhere are very clean and maintaining a positive vibration around here rooms are also very clean and convenient. Also, we had a privacy around here. Very friendly environment all over Vaidyagrama.
Most important thing I noticed was plastics were completely avoided mostly they were using silver/ aluminium vessels for all purposes that I need to appreciate. Once again, a very special thanks to entire vaidyagrama family!

As I come to the end of my stay at Vaidyagrama I go back home much confident, and happy. Apart from the beautiful surroundings the people of Vaidyagrama also played an important role in our healing journey. Dr Ramdas has always put us at ease and clear us of our silliest doubts and worries. Talking to him itself was like therapy. Dr Anupama was very gentle in handling the procedures and always made me to look forward to our chats here every morning. Dr.Mini and Dr.Shyam were very kind and compassionate in treating us. I must mention and thank my therapist Indu who was excellent during the treatment and cared for me. She guided the junior therapist also in giving the best care possible.
Every staff had a role to play in making my healing journey possible. The satsangs were a treasure trove of knowledge and the prayers kept as going and grounded. This whole journey here was made by the people I met here and the friends I made, thank you.

This was our first visit to an Ayurvedic Centre for treatment. We heard, we came, we saw, we were treated, and we are leaving fully satisfied with the treatment and hospitality we enjoyed. Our heart felt gratitude to Vaidyagrama team of doctors, therapists and all the service provides without whom our healing would not have been complete. The ambience and environment were soothing, we are very happy to have visited this place of serenity and healing.
As with everything, there are points for improvement mainly in the areas of emergency and fire safety.
In each exit, the attendant’s room should be clearly identified so that in case of any emergency during the nights, he can be contacted. All residents should be made aware of this.
Fire escape routes should be marked, and a central fire assembly point located including a fire escape plan.
Fire extinguishers should be installed in all units and assembly room/ pray halls especially in treatment rooms where there are gas stoves.
Finally, treatment plans should be scheduled for each patient the previous day and timings should be maintained so that we can use our time more diligently in attaching Satsang, doctors talk etc without a clash in schedules.

I was thrilled within a day of treatment. I could sleep for 7 hours. I had not slept for more than 5 hours at the most in the past 8 years. Thank you to Dr.Harikumar, all other doctors and treatment staffs. The cleanliness was great. I loved the go-shala, the birds, the lily ponds, the trees and of-course the mountain view. Chants and prayers were beautiful. It was an enjoyable 10 days and hopefully I can come back again next year.

Dear Vaidyagrama, I arrived in this peaceful sanctuary after a long journey, i was sweetly greeted by exotic beauties in sarees and Kurtis with their beautiful long hair twisted into braids & buns. The doctors were always available for a chat on how my day went, how my experience has been so far. The food in all the simplicity is by far the most delicate and nourishing I have had in India. I feel light have absolutely no cravings for sugar or tea or any such! I slept so soundly and woke up to a slight breeze from my terrace before the heat set in. The treatment was nurturing & grounding, I have learnt to be Still and shut away the world if just for a few precious days.
Om Namah Shivaya.

We are truly grateful and feel blessed to have discovered this place through common friends. This place has an energy that can be truly experienced and felt whose result can be seen in our treatment and our healing. Everything about Vaidyagrama is pure, beautiful, natural and brings with it a feeling of warmth and belonging. The staff has been extraordinary throughout our stay, without whom our stay would have least been comfortable.
All the doctors at Vaidyagrama made us feel that they were paying attention to the smallest of detail with regards to our treatment, a highly customized approach not seen otherwise at majority places. The knowledge and wisdom of the doctors and they are sharing in the daily satsang have been very precious to us.
We look forward to visiting again next year. Thank you so much to the entire Vaidyagrama for everything!

Dear Vaidyagrama family, I came here for a short stay after extending my visit to India. At the last minute by the recommendation of my friend. I wanted rest and relaxation and time with myself. What I experienced was care and high-quality experience of Ayurvedic healing beyond my expectations. The quality of the staff is simply amazing. This place is run and managed to keep patients a feeling of being totally cared for every minute. The treatment, staff, doctors, and everyone around are available and attending to your every need. In any case Sindhu, Archana (from treatment) and Dr.Renjisha and Dr.Ramadas, all made my days here meaningful and fruitful. I didn’t come here with a big health problem but did some detox and nasyam and feeling that I have treated by body to good health. The other aspect here is that the vibe of the daily poojas, Satsang and how everyone ‘Just Bonds’ is amazing. I am so glad I found this healing village. I will surely be back for a longer treatment with people in my family who needs Ayurvedic treatment.
Thank you for taking care of me.

This is my third visit to vaidyagrama. After 18 days here, I leave tomorrow I feel like I am leaving my family behind. Dr Ramadas is wonderfully warm philosopher guide and Dr.Shyam, Dr.Mini and Dr.Anupama are all equally wonderful, caring and kind. The therapist Bhadra, Hareesha and shanibha are barely 19, 20 – So sweet and learning. Jagdish my housekeeping person who is so helpful supporting and caring. The security people work in the lobby Sandeep (IT) the other folks are equally caring responsive and kind. Everyone is calm, and loving, what they do and have a lovely, charming smile on their faces.
All true karma yogis, I loved the narayaneeyam chanting was icing on the cake. I leave a lot better than I was, in body and spirit. Thanks for everything see you soon.

I am thankful to my brother-in-law (Aru’s husband) who introduced this place to us. This is a magical experience. that my sister and I are blessed to have. Our journey started right after Covid when deprived of any travel. We started discussing how we going to break the travel fast of course. COVID -20 + going to was on our mind and what better way to lose that than panchakarma. Driven by weight loss we came here in March.
Little that we knew, this place is more than physical healing. Spiritual and the relationship with the physicians and the staff is far deeper. Having honest and open conversations with the physician and fellow patients along with the customized care is truly fulfilling individual’s holistic needs. My sister and I were here for approximately 18 days and in that time yes, she lost 5 kgs, but what we are back is our experience.
The long talks with Dr.Ramadas and Dr.Mini along with thin wholesome smiles are entrenched in our hearts. We gave Indu time with scheduling so we can be together and met once met did she raise her eyebrows. Post our evening pooja we just sat with Geetha ji, and she told us all about the history and vision of this sacred place. The amazing thing is the story does not end there.
On our final day we went to external orientation to our surprise we saw the amazing bala grama and the expansion plans. “Nivrittigrama” where the elderly can be cared for was another piece of the Vision that shows where the heart of the leader are.
My sister and I are truly inspired to be engaged in this pioneer place whole heartedly as we navigate through our daily responsibilities. We truly feel blessed and would like to extend our thank you to the whole VG team that has worked tirelessly to make out stay so special.

I had a great experience and treatment at Vaidyagrama, the doctors are diligent and knowledgeable they are very cordial and ready to help patients. The most important thing is that they know very well what they are talking and course of treatment. The therapists and staff all are gorgeous, polite and well mannered. I would love to see if they develop their communication skill more. I wish if Vaidyagrama can target the middle class of India as I feel the price of treatment is a little on the higher side and so it will be wonderful if you can do something for the treatment fees.
The environment at Vaidyagrama is vibrant and loaded with the positive energy. I hope to see more and more people get benefited by knowledge of Vaidyagrama doctors.
Jai Hind!

To Vaidyagrama team,
I was quite anxious when I came here first, and I had serious doubts if things will work out in my favor. However, all my doubts were quickly dissolved, with the genuinely caring and knowledgeable doctors with excellent service from support staff. A big thank you to Dr. Harikumar for sharing his wisdom and support & i would also like to thank Dr Vinod for his warmth, his concerns for my wellbeing day in day out and for sharing best ayurvedic practices.
Only after staying here over a month, I have realized that how little I have looked after my own body. All the Satsang sessions were helpful, however I would recommend sending an introductory material to patients so that they can understand ayurveda concepts in detail. In conclusion, it has been a fantastic experience and I will not hesitate to recommend Vaidyagrama to anyone who is looking for best ayurveda treatment.

Arriving at Vaidyagrama after a long journey and many months of Covid restrictions, I felt as if I had arrived at my spiritual home. My first impression was of a calm peaceful Sanctuary – all the senses were soothed by the sight of beautiful trees, the sound of the birds singing and a gentle sweet aroma, that I later found out was of the purification herbs.
The entire 23 days of my stay have been truly wonderful. I have felt cared for by literally all the staff from the housekeeping who keep everything so fresh & clean, to the laundry that worked miracles on my oily clothes and the office & reception who were always willing to help.
All the doctors are true healers, Dr. Ramadas helped me to see the divinity of my body, my duty to care for it and its immense wisdom to heal. Dr Anupama was so gentle, kind, loving, wise and warm. I found Dr Mini to be extremely competent, thorough and I loved that we could laugh together. I always felt lighter and more joyful after our meetings and Dr. Shyam always reassuring & kind. The therapists were all so kind hearted and a special thanks to Indu who is very blessed with calming healing energy.
I fell into the gentle rhythms of Vaidyagrama, waking each morning to the magnificence of the sunrise and the birds singing – what a privilege. I very much enjoyed morning prayers & meditation, Satsangs and all the activities on offer. It was a perfect balanced environment to support my healing. I’ve also met some wonderful & inspiring friends here. I have to mention the food, which was amazing! nourishing, flavoursome and exactly what I needed. I just need to learn how to cook it at home now!
All in all-it’s up there as one of the best experiences of my life. I have already seen improvements in my health and look forward to returning again someday soon.
Thank you – deep gratitude to all the Vaidyagrama family

Dear Vaidyagrama staff,
What can I say other to you all, fabulous? From the staff at the front desk, the caretakers, cleaners, cooks and last but not least the amazing doctors & therapists. You all show such love and dedication like I have never seen. I felt I were your family member, felt loved, pampered and well cared for. You all went out of your way to make me do what I needed – it was comfortable. I want to tell you how much appreciation I have for all of you physically, I saw changes in my face the first week, the stress bloating seemed to melt away, as toxins left my body, I saw a better complexion and whiter eyes. I feel lighter in my head feels clear.
I have shared my experience here on Instagram & Facebook and hope to send you more patents. I am sure I will return myself as well. You are all top-most care givers & healers, much gratitude for this experience. God bless you all and wishing all a happy, healthy and prosperous life.

I came to Vaidyagrama after several years of health challenges that I had to treat with toxic and dangerous allopathic medicine. I was praying every day for healing. From the moment I arrived in this beautiful place I started to feel better. It is full of positive energy, dedication and a spirit of selfless source from everyone here. The care I received was unlike any other hospital so much love and attention from everyone. The food is nourishing. The therapists are well trained, the medicine effective, and the Doctors are outstanding in every way. My prayers are abundantly answered and I can’t wait to return.

What was initially planned to be an OP visit saw me challenging my mind to stay for 3-4 days. The simplicity of Vaidyagrama is its USP. Everyone here is extremely approachable & friendly. Any number of doubts and questions are answered with a smile. Special thanks to Dr. Ramdas for his patience and a must mention is his energy and smile which is contagious.
Dr. Shyam has been most helpful and kind, clarifying all details and giving little lifestyle tips. The therapists also deserve a thank you for their kind service. A couple of suggestions. 1). It will be more comfortable for people like me if the therapists kept their mask on during the therapy
2) Some adjustment or flexibility in the food for patients like me will be helpful
Overall serene beautiful surrounding with very god energy. Thank you, Ms. Aparna, for accommodating my last-minute request.

Thank you for providing a healing refuge for this wandering soul. I’m very grateful to have experienced my 1stpanchakarma at Vaidyagrama. The type of body, mind & soul care that is provided here was wonderful & welcome (much needed everywhere) change from compartmentalised care we typically receive in the allopathic world. I learned so much here.
Thank you to all here @ VG- doctors, therapists, housekeeping, maintenance, reception, laundry & last but not least, the ‘restaurant team’.

Dear team of Vaidyagrama,
I had known this place since a long time and referred few of my students’ family who have also visited here in the past. I feel grateful to have come here and experience the intent that holds this sacred space myself. I am so inducted for the Sadhana of all the Vedas and their teams of doctors’ therapists and staff for putting their life energy to sustain this healing space. I have from my own experience confirmed that this is the best place in India for healing it may be expensive though for many the immaculate way in which each one does their duty or Dharma is so inspiring.
There is a lightness and compassion in the space, the daily chanting is powerfully rejuvenating the space one can feel the centre hold that energy also gratitude to that trees and birds. The interactive daily sessions help to clear any doubt spread through knowledge of this ancient science and also build Bhavana of Shraddha. May God give you all strength to keep doing this Seva and make this energy flourish. I am grateful to Dr Ramadas who has with a smile given my sister and myself so much time, and guidance. To Dr Ramkumar for his talks with a smile, Dr Renjisha, Dr Megala for being so sincerely involved, available and open to the sweet gentle and full of life. Mariamma who we woke up many nights, to therapists Kavita, Archana and team.
My sister’s treatment is still continuing but I am feeling so safe and secure like truly some Punya Karma fructified that we have come to this space, a sense of abundance, gratitude to all of those whose intent and make this place possible.
With all my love and best wishes,

This is our second visit to VG with more expectations within 6 months; first 3 days there were disappointment with food and medicines that were not given properly when we complained about it and everything was set right immediately. Dr Harikumar planned different treatment this time we feel better when all junior doctors and therapists are excellent in caring us. Thanks to the entire team. We hope to visit next time not to heal our disease, just to rejuvenate us.
Thank you all.. All the best, keep it up!

I came to Vaidyagrama after consulting several doctors for the treatment of oedema in my left feet. It was severely affected till my knee, which I felt very stiff and tight, had at least consulted 7 doctors in Bangalore but to no relieve or no reduction, though I had no pain at all, my blood reports USG/Pelvic all was cleared there was no medication given. At last, I visited Dr Ramanandan in Vaidyagrama and he started with medication/ massages with ayurvedic powder/ balanced bland food and the swelling started to reduce day after day to my utter surprise, the swelling reduced to 60-70% in just 4 days. Thank you. All staff are all very good in their job/ serviced. They pay attention to smallest of your need and care to the outmost level. You feel at home even if you are away from home.
I will highly recommend this place to anyone who needs it. Good service, excellent staff. Will surely visit future for detox program.
Thank you & keep up the good service. Happy to leave from here with solution.

Coming to Vaidyagrama is like going to my parents’ house. A place of promise, great comfort, security, rejuvenation. Looking forward to doing this every year.
I would like to place on record the exceptional Dinacharya treatment accounted to me by Kalpana of Illam 2. My regular therapist of (lndu) of Illam 3 is diligent, kind and very duty conscious.
I have had a very good stay under the care of Dr Ramadas and Dr Mini. Pratheesha & Vismaya have added a lovely hint of youthful exuberance and they have been very caring & attentive. Thank all you yourselves! Stay well.
P.S. Dr Shyam has been very kind & attentive to our needs too. God bless the VG family!

This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama, the last time I visited in 2020 February with my mother as I was diagnosed with lupus in March 2019. All doctors said it is incurable but Vaidyagrama did miracle for me by believing in myself again and treating it completely I lived normal life for past two years with everyone blessings I welcomed my Little Angel into this world.
All normal words will fall short if I start writing about Vaidyas and whole staff in Vaidyagrama – just best wishes to Vaidyagrama for creating and maintaining this amazing healing space. Special thanks to Dr Harikrishnan, Dr Ramdas, Dr Ramkumar, Dr Renjisha, Dr Megala Dr Sreeji for being in touch from last two years Mariamma, Kavita and all the therapists with lot of gratitude.

I had a great experience here. My sessions with Dr Harikumar are quite good and all the other doctors and their daily check-up have helped me. The working staff is very supportive and understanding during the treatment session. Thanks to everyone in Vaidyagrama for making my treatment and healing process easier for me.
Best of luck, God bless, much gratitude!

The doctors, therapists and all the staff are very warm and caring. The doctors visited us every day & attended to our every need. The atmosphere is very serene & relaxing and therapeutic in itself. I found everything very authentic and professional. It’s indeed a home away from home.

This is the first time I stayed in such a very beautiful calm and very nice place. I enjoyed it a lot. People from various cities and countries, it is a good experience for me. First of all, I should thank God for showing such a place. Here I learnt much. I like the prayer conducted by Dr Ramdas. Really I was very much impressed by this. Here we get treatment in different ways. Dr Mini, Dr Shyam and Dr Anupama are very kind and they explained well about my treatment. Once again, I thank Dr Ramdas for his kind treatment and caring nature. All staff in the reception are so kind. Therapists are well behaved and they gave nice treatment. Therapists Vismaya and Prajisha and Therapist Indu are very kind and active
Once again, I thank all in Vaidyagrama. God bless all.

Coming to Vaidyagrama feels like coming home. Coming to a place of great calm, serenity and solitude. It is wonderful to see so many more patients. I was here during the corona lockdown last year and everything was still working so well. The doctors are ready to answer the endless questions and inspire great confidence. Everyone who works here has a ready smile and work with quiet efficiency.
Every day one hears of the inspiring words undertaken by those in charge offering of training of orphan kids, helping the village women, elders and children. The treatment is very beneficial and trying to keep to the rules is tough but necessary.

Vaidyagrama offered a very caring environment during the weeks we spent here. Our doctors, therapists, staff that brought medicines and food, staff that cleaned and cooked extended individual attention towards our care. The overall peace and quiet was excellent for shifting our tempo and making us more receptive to our treatments. It really feels like a body reset.
Our sincere thanks and heartfelt gratitude to everyone here.

I had great experience in Vaidyagrama. The authentic ayurveda treatment helped me to heal, rejuvenate as well as become fit. Vaidyagrama is an epitome of ayurveda treatment center. It’s a home away from home. All are very much caring. The knowledge and influence of Dr Ramadas and Dr Ramanandan is commendable. Dr Aruna is very caring. Staff like Aneesh are also good. In fact, everyone is professional and caring. The therapist who provides medicine, food and water is doing great job. When I had cellulitis, everyone cared so much that I recovered fast. I would like to visit again for longer time may be in winter month.
I wish all of you very best and request to continue same good work.

How can I describe my experience here at Vaidyagrama? It is so hard to put into words, but I will try because it needs to be shared. I have experienced anxiety and depression for the last 5 years. It’s crippled my ability to work, sustain relationships and take care of my health. I have gained over 30kgs in that time and at some point, a looming feeling that it would be the rest of my life. But within the first week of being here that feeling lifted, almost completely vanished.
Maybe it was the distance from my regular life. Maybe it was the love and concern and smiles I was showered with from every Doctor and staff members. Maybe the closeness to nature and the simple dinacharya routine. But something in me shifted and it shifted my perspective and the way I think about my health and my life.
Dr Ramadas and the daily talks with him were incredibly inspiring. He said to me ‘the mind is like a cat, the more attention you give it the more it wants. The body is like a dog, the more attention you give it the more it loves and serves you’ I held that close to me in my time here and hope to continue to hold it my whole life.
I’m grateful to Dr Renjisha and Dr Megala who both spent ridiculous amounts of time listen to me and sharing their own life and experiences. the way they showed up even in the middle of the night to tend to my inconvenience with a smile on their face was incredible.
I also really appreciate each of the treatment staff that I engaged with. Their dedication showed though the language barriers with simple gestures as smiles. I will always remember what Mariyamma from my Illam said to me when I apologized for waking her up in the middle of the night ‘No problem, It’s my duty’.
I hope to go back with that same dedication in my heart and do my duty with the same smile on my face that each of the people working here carries every day. There is so much more to praise, the routine and ethos of the Satsangs. The daily prayers that are held with so much passion and good intent.
That amazing delicious food and yummy kanji. I could write a book! But I do want to appreciate the friends I have made here with other patients too. Vaidyagrama is a unique place, most people here are on their own difficult healing journeys and when the choose to live this life, they are willing to surrender and do what they can.
I have learned so much from their stories of pain, joy, sickness and recovery. And their courage and strong will to live. Thank you for the community of people who could understand me without judgement.
Hugs,
I will hold you in my heart.

This is my 2nd time experiencing ayurveda (The first was back in 2013-14 while in Pune). Both made a change for the better. However, staying at a place like Vaidyagrama made a much bigger difference because it allowed me to heal not just my body, but my soul as well. Everyone is warm, friendly, and welcoming. It is commendable, the work culture that has been created here. And I always felt encouraged rather than judged regarding my health issues.
A big thank you to everyone – Staff, therapists, kitchen.
And especially Dr. Ramanandan – Thank you for helping me start feeling like myself again. (I know my mom is looking forward to her stay!)
Suggestion:
More consistent messages between Main Drs and Jr Drs
A break from the internet was Welcome but some card games (playing cards, Uno) or board games would help for both passing the without turning to the phone and build friendships among the patients.
A steam bed that will give people above 5’10” more space when going through the steam part of Panchakarma.

I have had a wonderful stay at Vaidyagrama, I have learnt a lot about the Ayurvedic way of life, not only about medicines and diet, but also about prayers and divinity. I have always longed to stay at a University and be student and my stay at Vaidyagrama felt relaxing, calm and a lot of learning I did not have to think about anything during my stay here and purely submitted myself to this process. All the Junior Doctors having very kind and understanding Dr Anupama and Dr Megala have done exceptional work in keeping us comfortable. The therapists Mrs Kalpana, Ms Priya have done the great job along with Mrs Manju they made me feel at home with their pleasant smile, awesome service.

I learnt so much about ayurveda, about life and how to play the harmonium. I am so thankful for all the caring doctors, therapists, the staff and all the wonderful amazing friends made an impact on my healing process.
Lots of love and gratitude to all of you!

My gratitude for all the care taken and timely treatment. Big thanks to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Suvedha and Dr. Vikneswari… All senior Therapists are good. Lakshmi is all time the best one. Junior therapists need to improve a lot by owning the body under treatment.
Food is very nice and timely meals are always provided. Chutney could be a little thick. Room cleaning is good but could be improved more in terms of cleanliness is good but could be of bathroom. Bathroom door lock not working properly. After repairing also, had same problem. It will be great if some more privacy is provided in rooms. Staff must ring bells before they enter. Having some games in common place will be great. Library is good. Satsangs are helpful to understand Ayurveda treatments morning and evening pooja kept me very pleasant, greatly appreciable. Entire staff respects all patients, great. Overall, its great experience staying at Vaidyagrama and getting treated.
Thanks to the entire team!

It has been a most rewarding and rejuvenating experience for me at Vaidyagrama! You have introduced me to a whole new way of life through Ayurveda, which I will hopefully try to follow.
Excellent and courteous young doctors, therapists and staff, always helpful and smiling.
The divine atmosphere at Brahma kamalam, the Satsangs where doctors explained the tenets of Ayurveda are memories that I will carry with me.
Thanks to Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Ramdas and everyone else for your warmth and care.
Wishing Vaidyagrama all the best to expand and grow!

My Guru Swami Dayanand Saraswati still always tells me “You are the problem, you are the solution; if you are not, you are in disease”.
So emotional balance is the most needed for the mind, and my stay here helped me to experience this state. Dr. Ramdas helped me to see things within me and wake me up from a dream state to a waking state. He made me realise to accept and acknowledge Eswara’s way. A big thanks to him and his team of doctors and therapists and all those who contributed towards my wellbeing.
I go from here as a more evolved person spiritually I personally thank Dr Ramdas for opening my mind to look at sadness and happiness in the same state without hatred.
Vaidyagrama has always been like a family to me and my uncle. We will always appreciate this service and atmosphere here. I am associated with this place for a long time, and I will pray to Eswara to give this healing village all the strength and Aiswaryam/ auspiciousness to do service to the society at large.
With Love and Namaskaram,

This was my first visit to vaidyagrama – my first attempt at Ayurveda, I am so glad that this institution was my doorway to the Ayurvedic way of healing.
The immense knowledge that the doctors have of the spiritual texts, the treatments, technique, combined with the care and compassion, make for a very impressive mix.
The atmosphere of the place itself is surpassed with harmony, peace the vibrations of the people helping the healing as much as its treatments themselves.
The staff, housekeeping, therapists -all have been wonderful.
I feel blessed, grateful to have had the chance to recover and recuperate here.
I wish every person who works here, every patient who comes here every human who is somehow connected to this place, that they may be blessed with the abundance of health, prosperity, wellness of all kinds. And may vaidyagrama grow from strength to strength.
Lots of love,

I was advised to go in for ayurvedic treatment to relieve me of the side effects of the various medicines I have been taking over a long period for my degenerative ailment. So I am here in vaidyagrama.
The entire environment is full of greenery, it is peaceful with the vibrations of the chants. This is ideal for the treatment and recovery of any ailment.
The Satsang by Dr Ramdas and other doctors have acted as a catalyst for my recovery.
Last, but not the least Dr Ramdas and his team of Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Aruna, Dr. Ardent and the therapists have been caring and focused on my comfort and recovery.
I am leaving rejuvenated or as punarnava person, thanks to the efforts.

I have a new outlook on life, thanks to the wonderful souls and connections made here. I have absolutely no complaints as I know my journey here was to test my limits and break down the barriers of my ego, mission accomplished.
I wish all of you prosperity!!The work being done here is of angels on earth. Living divinely through a human experience. I cannot wait to see this vision at its fullest potential!! You always have my support!

Doctor’s Team: Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Prameela, Dr. Aparna
Treatment: For Knee pain, weight reduction
I discovered vaidyagrama by random search in google and visited in person consultation by Dr. Vinod/Tour by Ms. Sandhya who did an extraordinary job and I convinced myself to get treated at vaidyagrama.
Being trained in scientific discipline I was skeptical enough to indulge wholeheartedly in ayurveda. But over the period of stay here at vg and several discussions with Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Prameela and Dr. Aparna I built a strong belief in the system of 5000 years old medicine.
Dr.Harikumar- I am very thankful and lucky to have treated with Dr. Harikumar. His approach towards patient in connecting with them and quickly understanding the nature by “Naadi” is remarkable. His method of counselling the patient with high degree of patience and in-depth explanations of why things happen is a kind of eye opener for me. I will recall the rhythm practice for sleeping disturbance. Thank you, Doctor. My prayers for you and your family.
Dr. Vinod- I am very much thankful to Dr. Vinod for his excellent service-oriented mind, sincere attendance to patients. Never felt like a hospital stay because of attention and care that was given by him. Had addressed several queries of mine in Ayurveda and rationally explained it so well. I was able to connect modern science and Ayurveda from most of my discussion with Dr. Vinod.
Extra ordinary, humble, and very grounded Doctor I have ever met.
Dr. Prameela and Dr. Aparna- Thanks a lot, for helping me with so much care during the therapy. Counselling during Vasti was much helpful. Thank you doctors.
Therapists team provided very good service. Mrs. Bindu, Mrs. Shivapriya, Mrs. Prema. Excellent support.
Vaidyagrama in my perspective works a harmonious team, offers service with a smile wit unbiased approach to all irrespective of any geographical boundaries. I loved my stay thoroughly at Vaidyagrama for 15 days.
Suggestions: inclusion of greens vegetables, fruits can be more useful for weight loss
Thank you, Vaidyagrama Community!

I used to take Ayurvedic treatment every year. And I came to know about Vaidyagrama from Dr. Harikumar, our neighbour. He explained the importance of ayurveda and gave a much deeper understanding about the service provided here after coming in person. I came to know more about diabetes while on the stay here.
And the care and concern of the 3 junior doctors were also amazing. Was wondering who made them capable like this way. And the therapists were very much caring and understanding.
I thank God for making me experience 10 wonderful days in this Vaidyagrama. I thank all the doctors and staff who helped me to get better health.

As my pain increased, the neck got aggravated in May and i was advised to approach this wonderful place. From day one to last I felt as if I was at home., except for missing my daughter, as i spent my time with all the staff who are so friendly and caring.
The therapists were doing their job with ease and their hands made some magic. The doctors are devoted to their job whole heartedly. My pain is reduced to 90% and I am looking forward to visiting again during next vacation.
The treatment is awesome, and divinity is found in their work.
Thanking all the members of this great institution who are seeing the poor and needy.

I am thankful for Sampath ji and Kalpana ji, for suggesting Vaidyagrama for our healing and therapy. This was a most awaited journey to surrender ourselves to the Mother Nature through Ayurveda. The atmosphere here is such that you will forget all your busy life and enjoy the Nature around us.
We felt the divinity here, the importance of culture which is restored here. This place makes us to think the purpose of our lives and how we are destroying ourselves with our habits. The staff and doctors are so helpful and very much caring. The way the staff here are living together as a community is welcoming and commendable. Thank you to all the doctors, therapists and housekeeping staff who made our stay comfortable. Looking forward to visiting again!

We entered Vaidyagrama with a lot of physical complaints. Now we are happy to tell that all our complaints have been resolved. We spent approximately a month in Vaidyagrama. After a month we noticed a lot of changes internally and physically. Many of our friends complimented us saying we look a lot younger now after the treatment.
The attention to detail given by the doctors, supporting staff etc. were very impressive. We enjoyed most of our stay and only in the last week we felt a little bored. But the excitement of returning home after treatment kept us going in the last week.
Vaidyagrama was referred by one of our own friends. We are glad that we came here for the treatment.
Treatment Staff and housekeeping staff work tirelessly every day to make sure that we were happy and are relieved of pain. We are looking forward to visit with few more family members next. And we are proud of being experienced healing with VG family!

Have been suffering from stomach issues for many years now. Things have slowly been getting worse as other body pain and issues such as gouty arthritis have come up, sleeplessness, constant tiredness etc. Coming here to Vaidyagrama was a desperate seeking of help to Ayurveda (even as I have been consulting Ayurveda practitioners for years intermittently now).
Dr Harikumar’s diagnosis based on my Nadi Pariksha was spot-on. It was as if he was predicting diseases of the past and present (possibly the future if I didn’t change something about my life, and he is my body!).
I am only here for 7 days, and they had to accommodate with therapy to my schedule and they didn’t promise the world to me. Dr Harikumar clearly stated that he needs 21 days to bring about visible changes but would do the best he can within 7 days to cleanse my body.
In just 6 days I have started seeing a massive difference in my stomach, digestion, stools, sleep patterns etc. Honestly, I feel like staying in this environment much longer. I wish life, normal city life, would have such a pleasant-green access to therapy good food and medicine etc. But no cities do offer such peaceful living. They cause issues.
promised myself in coming back and will actually do what I can to help vaidyagrama in its Mission including spreading it to other parts of India -for the health of Indians and global citizens for the revival of this beautiful form of medicine in India.
Dr Hari Kumar said it beautifully-
“This is not called alternative medicine; it is our native medicine”
“Ayurveda is a culture”!

I came for 21 days Panchakarma Treatment to Vaidyagrama. I had absolutely no clue what to expect. The Kerala architecture, spacious rooms, covered corridors, herbal trees around, chirping birds, fresh cool breeze. It was pouring when I came. It attracted my attention first. Then met the Doctors Dr. Ramanandan, Dr Aruna, Dr Renjisha, my room clean lady Maria the treatment staff, Lakshmi Amma.
Each and every one is very warm, caring and perfect in his/her job. It takes a village to do anything right, Vaidyagrama has nailed it on every front. The morning prayers & chanting, Satsangs, cooking class, garden walk, group lunch, everything was educational and helped to be occupied and not sleep during the day. This place grows on you. I think realisation will come once out of here.
I must congratulate all the Staff & Directors of Vaidyagrama for successful creating & maintaining such a genuine, authentic healing space.
Thank You!

It is with deep gratitude that I write thanks for the entire Vaidyagama team – housekeeping, front office, cleaners, laundry, cooking, admin team, satsangs, Aparnaji …
A long but important list as each makes this place special and gives reason to return.
Special thanks go to my Therapists Manju, Bhadra and Bindu, Dr. Mini and my Vasti doctors Dr.Anupama, Dr.Aruna and Dr.Suvedha.
Dr . Subhalakshmi, who joined the same day as I had arrived, needs to be singled out for her extremely diligent, conscientious, and exceptionally dedicated daily care.
Dr.Ramadas has always been my drawcard and is irreplaceable, not just as a Vaidya but for his daily booming prayers. I feel it contributes as much to wellbeing as do massages and medicated herbs. My wellness is directly attributed to him and his team, and with this gratitude in heart, I say…
THANK YOU and Pranams!

I have just completed 14 days treatment at Vaidyagrama. Frankly, when I arrived here along with my husband Mr. Sukumar Menon there were a lot of apprehensions & wonder if I could stay here adjusting to the environment, food etc. But believe me, it has been a fascinating and rewarding experience here for me.
The doctors treating me were so encouraging and helped me with their superb treatment and care. Always ready to answer all queries.
The staff also were courteous and respectful … The therapists to the helpers like housekeeping etc did a marvellous job! And the laundry too. Thanks to one and all for giving me pleasant & unforgettable memories to take back home
Stay Blessed Always!

In the name of Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful that He always guides us to the correct path of life.
Myself and my family stay here at vaidyagrama healing village, as we never had second opinion other than vaidyagrama, because we trust vaidyagrama and its treatments.
First my wife started treatment and was undergoing ACL tear with the level of care given by the grandma. I myself joined us patient for weight loss program.
The treatment, the atmosphere, these surrounding suits well for vaidyagrama as a healing village.
All the best for the team of chief doctors, attending doctors, therapists and attenders are all doing their level best.
Possibly the management has taught the above team that this is the best way they took care of us without comparing with outside and other than vaidyagrama .. excellent service!
Dr Ramdas, who was the referral doctor from Kuwait Dr. Asha the homeopathy surgeon, was an excellent personality who understands through reading the patients’ illness and wellness.
Dr Pramila who was an attending doctor is always at our service remaining behind the correct scheduling and follow up.
Dr Vinod is a doctor cum personal advisor who is at his free will offering advice on healthy lifestyle matters alongside the treatment plans’ perfectly executing.
Dr Aparna is a devoted doctor, unhesitant, waiting near patient until the patient eats his food on time without skipping or delay.
All therapists. all attenders, all housekeeping are very good I can give excellent rating. ( Bindu, Semina and Krishnaveni, Ardra all doing genuine service)
Feedback regarding food: While doing initial assessment the patient can have a guided tour of food plan, menu to understand the patient well, his/her liking/ disliking/ food allergies/ food choking so that patient can fully participate according to doctors treatment plan.
Feedback regarding therapists: Rotational therapist concept is not working well – strong suggestion is to either retain one permanent therapist who can share the patients condition to other rotational therapist to avoid inconvenience or regular discussion or to avoid repeated advice to the director from the patient. This point is very crucial for vaidyagrama to grow in an international standard.
Whatever my feedback is given here us from my patient or a bystander perspective which is true from my heart and belief.
Feedback recording the surroundings: Nice, calm location with natural habitat, birds and animals are really enjoyable. Nice soothing experience.
Feedback regarding the buildings: One needs help while being in the toilet during odd times.
May Allah provide the cure from all illnesses through this vaidyagrama healing village..
Trust God and came here for Vaidyagrama.
Believe God that treatment will yield positive results after returning to Kuwait.
Last but not least, feedback from my children: love and kindness towards animals and birds.
Like having plant gardening and cooking class also include pet shelter for birds and cats that we know and understand the living beings of this habitat.
Provide food for cats as they like milk from cows.
Excellent service!
Kind regards,

Thank you! I had come with a issue and feel good that I am working towards & getting that issue addressed. I am feeling good about myself and learned quiet a lot here. So thank you. Keep up the good work!
Just one feedback I would like to give to the therapist that I understand for rotation but not all of the therapists are that experienced to know well about the patient. So they must study or at least be given a brief of all the issues that the patient is going through so that they are well prepared in the treatment room & not struggle as to what to do..
Again thank you for all the efforts you are doing to make our stay a good one…
Thank you!

My wife Mrs. SUDESH JAIN and I came here for Ayurvedic Treatment for my wife. After adequate research we found Vaidyagrama and decided to come here. Here are our observations.
This is a unique institution in the purest form of Ayurvedic treatment. This explains you comprehensively the holistic form of treatment. The concept of attacking the root to rectify the disease is the basis of treatment. The Doctors and staff are totally committed and take religious care for the patients. Dr Hari kumar, Dr Aruna, Dr Ardent were fully involved in the process of treatment taken in this institution. A lot of pains have been decreased in this institution.
Charitable work being done like educating orphan children and caring for senior Citizens is indeed commendable. We hope the institution will create a team which would ensure that this lasts for generations to come and spread the message around of Ayurveda and Charity with humility and Kindness. God be always with you!
P.S – Improvements needed – Hot water (more than solar heater) in the bathroom and Mosquitoes controlled in the room.

Vaidyagrama is a blessing in my life. I have tried so many things like homeo and other ayurveda places, even tried steroids to cure the skin issue I had; but nothing helped. Even did panchakarma in a ayurvedic place and nothing close to the authenticity here in Vaidyagrama. My little son was given special food & every meal was satisfying his palette. The Doctors have been very patient. Consultation and answering questions and therapists were available round the clock, which was very helpful. The therapists were very thorough with the treatments.
Thank you, Vaidyagrama, for all the love and care in improving my care for all the health.

We had a five-day sjourn here at Vaidyagrama and had an excellent time here. The medical and other services are at par, and in quite a few aspects, the best than anywhere. Each aspect of the necessary treatment is handled with meticulous care. The staff are always cheerful and most helpful.
The Doctors are very knowledgeable and thorough. Dr Ramanand’s vast range of experience and expertise addresses any issue we spoke to him as to Dr. Arun to be an excellent support and thorough in follow up. The therapists-Biju, Hema and Arya were too good at their work. The services were handled meticulously and efficiently by Maya and Anu.
We did interact with the folks at the reception and admin-accounts and they were always helpful and supportive. Thanks also to Sunita and the Kitchen staff, and the Housekeeping team with a lovely property such as this being maintained so well. Well I’m sure it is possible only with the best of professionals in each field. Ms Aparna Sarma did see to it that our arrivals and other aspects were well taken care. Thank you so much for creating such a pleasant and happy memory!

And my Blessings to all!

Vaidyagrama reminds us of Stories in which we have been reading about Ram Rajya! Each and every person is extremely helpful, polite, and courteous. Rooms are left open without anyone inside, but one touches anything. All Senior and junior doctors perform Pooja, Satsang, treat patients with full dedication and devotion.
We have been in llam-11 under Dr Hari Kumar and Dr Vinod & then shifted to Illam 8 under Dr Hari kumar and Dr Renjisha. All are very knowledgeable sincere, caring, and friendly. Therapists Bindu, Swapna, Kavita and Mariyamma looked after us very well. It looked as if we were with Family
We wish all the best and give our blessing to each and every member of VAIDYA GRAMA!

Vaidyagrama is a great place for healing which focus on all round wellbeing, and not just one issue. Our lifestyle was not great with lot of complex foods which are creamy, heavy, greasy and also untimely consumption, late nights, staying awake.
All that already changed for last 2 weeks, and the effect is very clear. I am yet to complete effect for my wife’s and son’s eczema, but we are seeing that the change is positive and visible. Many of other issues especially for my wife which were chronic, is mostly not to be seen for past 2 weeks. Hopefully will come back for rejuvenation sometime in few years.

Overall, a pleasant experience for my duration of a fortnight. Treatments/medicines seemed to be effective. The results, however, only time will tell.
The staff is good, courteous & enthusiastic; but the Junior Doctors, even better. All under the supervision & guidance of their Medical Directors of course. The cleanliness however may require a bit of looking into. Overall, the institution gives positive vibrations.

My overall experience at VG has been very positive. The several doctors whom I have met have explained to me very patiently about my health issue and the treatments can help; how I can handle a different lifestyle in terms of food, sleep habits & also avoid undue stress.
The daily visit by the doctors is very much appreciated the detailed questions that they raise about all former health issues show that they care as to progress of treatment & if corrections need to be made. I thank Dr Hari Krishnan, Dr Aruna, Dr Megala, Dr Ardent & Dr Renjisha for taking care of my health.
The treatment staff & other support staff are very polite & cheerful and carry out their duties very sincerely. The Satsang interaction has been very helpful-this is a very nice practice & helps as you a broader picture of Ayurveda, treatment & so on this is quite unique. The pooja sessions in morning & evening are very good -it is also excellent that doctor themselves are conducting and leading the prayer service.
The building architecture, room layout, open to skylight areas inside each Illam, the covered walkway are well thought-out. In summary I am very satisfied with my stay.

We stayed in Vaidyagrama for 14 days, and these beautiful days were full of peace and positivity. Each and every person, be it Doctors, therapists, or support staff, they have been very positive and extremely professional. Most important is the patient feeling at home in vaidyagrama.
Special mention for Dr Ramadas who gave my mother (Patient), spiritual talks too and filled her with positivity.
We cannot fail to thank our doctor Dr Anupama who regularly followed up and promptly responded to every requirement of my mother. Dr Subhalakshmi has also been a help in taking everyday reports.
Overall, a great experience of healing and positivity, and our stay also took us back to the past; and I was digitally detoxed during the stay here.
My one and half year-old son enjoyed and mingled with everyone here. Thank you!

Authentic, honest, caring! How do I describe! The doctors at vaidyagrama, Dr. Ramanandan to our junior doctors Dr. Vinod, Dr. Aparna, Dr. Prameela have really looked after us well. Their attention to detail has impressed us a lot. The whole atmosphere at vaidyagrama is perfect for the healing process. The Satsangs with all the doctors were very informative and educational.
We are going back with fond memories as we have met some amazing people here, and our health is improving and our internal system is rebooting., Heartfelt gratitude and thanks to everyone at vaidyagrama for this amazing 21 days, we will be back!

There are so many beautiful experiences I have had here, and I have been very impressed by authenticity of the treatments and practices. Conscious living is the reality of vaidyagrama & to see the attention to detail and thoughts that’s been given to the minutest of things. The best on the experience though, comes from the love, care, and genuine attention one received from the Vaidyas, therapists, assistants, and supportive staff.
A place that’s all heart! Hope to come back again.

I discovered this beautiful place through my wife Liliana. It has been a unique experience where I discovered all the benefits of this type of medicinal care.

Vaidyagrama is a unique and special place that keeps the tradition of Ayurveda strongly alive. Disheartened after years of treatment, I now have confidence that Panchakarma will help the body recover greatly. I look forward to recommending Vaidyagrama to others; the doctors here are top-notch, trustworthy, and healer at heart.

My mom and sister did enjoy and felt cared for, too.
Special thanks to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Sajna and their team for treatment and care. Not forgetting therapists Hema and Maya. Would surely recommend to those looking for Ayurveda treatment.

I am privileged to write here about vaidyagrama, When I first heard about it from Aparna Sarma, though a friend of mine, I thought that it will be the best place for curing my pain in the back and leg with which I was suffering for some time.
After 21 days of treatment, I am writing this without pain. Dr. Ramadas is an excellent Doctor, who gave me very effective treatment. His spiritual knowledge and chanting of Sanskrit shlokas are amazing. The prayer hall is full of positive vibrations from his chantings. The best part is, during my stay for 21 days. here, I had the opportunity to chant Narayaneeyam.
The Satsangs are very useful to connect the Doctors with the patients. Dr Anupama is very knowledgeable and explains to the patients about the treatment and guides properly. She took personal care in treating me and I thank her very much for the same.
The young Doctors, Dr Subalakshmi and Dr. Shyam are very good and enthusiastic to know about all treatments. Therapy is very important for Ayurvedic treatments. vaidyagrama has very well-trained therapists who do an excellent job sincerely, I thank all of them.
The food served in Vaidyagrama is very healthy with taste, and is satwik, and authentic. The entertaining part is the ‘ Wednesdays Get-together lunch’ and singing.
I enjoyed staying at Vaidyagrama. It is safe, a good environment with natural atmosphere that is pollution free, and is with full care and good treatment. Once people visit here, they will know that they are in safe hands.

I came here programmed at the referral of a friend, for only a week. It was a beautiful short immersion in to ayurveda, relaxed & disconnected from work. Enjoyed the food a lot, though I missed fruits – don’t know if they are allowed during treatment so much.
Treatments were very good but being monsoon time, I felt really cold during Abhyanga treatment. The Doctors are very caring and paying attention to every detail.
Also, I would add that may be more common meals & some mild exercises at least if not against ayurveda treatment, would be good. Overall, a beautiful experience & I wish to come all prepared for full panchakarma!

I liked my stay in vaidyagrama. First, I like the doctors and staff, they are friendly and caring. The poojas are peaceful and soothing to hear. I like the gathering of lunch in Mandapam and the afternoon activities like cooking class, garden walk, cow pooja etc. Too bad there is no internet connection for enjoying in the room. This is my third visit, and I am planning to visit again.
Finally, thanks to everybody doctors, staff and all who helped me!

I am full of gratitude for this deep experience that has opened my mind.
I have learnt to honour and love my body, to be patient with it and to know how precious it is.
Listening to the beautiful words of Dr. Ramadas I’m now inspired to be a giver of love and good vibes. I will do my best to surrender to the universe force and let go of the will I have to control everything.
I’m learning to trust my body and the entire process of healing to be patient. I enjoyed being to connect with the nature, walking along the covered path, listening to the sound of the rain the wind and all the birds.
I love the calm atmosphere, the lowliness, the smiles of the people, the simple fresh tasty food cooked with love. the positive energy I can feel here around is all amazing.
As I knew all the projects vaidyagrama is supporting, I do really bless these incredibly beautiful people and their infinite love to this world.
Abig thanks goes to Dr. Subalakshmi whose presence, patience and support have played a very important role in my healing. I will keep this wonderful place & all the people working here and all the love I received in my heart.
With love,

Dearest Vaidyagrama family, Thank you for the care, support, encouragement and inspiration you had been for me for the past 30 days of my stay here. I am deeply thankful and grateful to everyone (I apologize if I miss out any family members here). Physicians /doctors, therapists, members who served meals, medicines etc, cleaners, kitchen staff, receptionists, IT, maintenance, and everyone else.
I understand Ayurveda takes time, and all though my symptoms are still there for my anxiety, I realise I have more grip of my mental faculties in these 30 days, compared to before treatment. And the communal support from the other patients has also enhanced my healing process.
So many other subtle things to point out that has contributed to my overall improvement in my well-being – from the environment, satsangs, prayers, food etc. I can’t put in words the synergic effect of everyone and everything in vaidyagrama space, aiding my healing. This place has an energy and spirit of its own for anyone open and willing to receive- that is my experience. I wish Vaidyagrama family the very the best for its growth in the years to come!
Love,

I am very blessed to have participated in many satsangs and prayers with all the doctors, from where I learned so much. It is hard to say bye to everyone. I sincerely wish it stays beautiful and peaceful always. Lastly a big thank you to the Aparna ji who made everything so smooth. I wish everyone to join beautifully with this place and transmit the knowledge, experience and vibrant energy!

Two weeks of a transformative experience indeed! It took us a day or two to settle into the routine of simple and bland food, the Kashayams, the natural surroundings (including the insects) and of course the treatment. But by day 14 we are sure to miss all of these and much more…
It would only be a repeat to mention about various positives we experienced, nevertheless worth mentioning again here. The polite and courteous staff all around. The therapists who made treatment an unforgettable experience. The accounts department with their perfection and execution. The food and housekeeping department were punctual in their service. The Satsangs and group lunches which kept us looking forward to more and more. Last but not least, the doctors who ensured that their knowledge and expertise made a difference in our health.
A few observations we made during our stay which may or may not be important or relevant to all – So sharing them here just as suggestions: A more synchronised coordination between the doctors and the therapists to fix the schedule for the treatment would help the patient settle in their routine. Balagrama and Lakshmigrama have immense scope for maintenance and upkeep. A public speaking course to improve the communication skills of all would make their interaction with patients more comfortable. Internet facility in the room for limited periods and board games would be good too.
Thank you vaidyagrama team for the enriching experience & we sure look forward to coming back again!

He is genuinely caring to us and we are very grateful to him. Also, very special thanks to housekeeping for a very clean room. A special thanks to Dr. Subha lakshmi for her care and ultimate support on everything. She ensured every little concern was addressed, and taken care of. A very dedicated doctor at her work.

Badra, Karthika, Indu and Shiny and Kalpana.There was a single session of therapy with Badra and it was the best, Thank You so much.Thanks to Dr Shyam, Dr.Anupama and Dr Renjisha for their care and support.

Vaidyagrama family, I firstly appreciate the concept of “healing space” being accessible to this generation! Secondly, I respect the venture you have taken – Health Care in a forest environment! Thirdly, I thank you to those who have enabled the first two! I mean the team of medical directors, doctors, therapists, and service providers. And now to the specifics it would be bad to not mention the names of a few who gave an elevated health for me and my parents.
Dr Ramanandan for his diligence and grounded attitude. His approach to my parents was more like a family mentor. This definitely is to the handling of old age people/ my parents.
Dr Vinod for his careful execution, the entire planning and treatment.
Lastly this world needs more Vaidyagramas! Several people would benefit out of this. So, you may consider going outside India starting with Germany!
Best wishes!

Coming to your sacred space was like standing upon an oasis in the desert, a place of sustenance and sanctuary. Under the expert care of Dr Harikumar and his diligent team (Dr.Vinod, Dr.Aparna, Dr.Suvedha), my wife and I were made to feel completely secure that we had the best medical supervision and insights. The satsangs hosted by the doctors were an excellent forum to raise questions and receive information. We were awed by the Holistic approach which Ayurveda exposes in the healing journey, especially its interconnection of mind, body and soul.
Dr Ramkumar’s sessions were particularly enlightening in this regard. It is said that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and while there was certainly no eating of any pudding during our stay, we both feel that after 23 days of Vaidyagrama we are definitely better for it. It has done wonder for settling us into a more Satvik mode of lifestyle and has built our will power and enthusiasm for continuing our health and well being journey as a way of life.
I am sincerely grateful to the VG team with a very best wish!

I came here with severe back pain. Loving and caring doctors and technicians cured me with a treatment of 13. days. Vaidyagrama gave me a Tapovan-like feeling with lots of trees, chirping birds and running squirrels. Prayers, led by doctors consoled me. Residential unit Illam is very grand as we can enjoy Nature even lying in our bed. I wish to come next year also. My best wishes and prayers to Vaidyagrama & all staff.

Where to begin?! I love you all. I’m forever thankful for the Gurus who guided me here, I’ve felt deep transformation in both, my first and second visit here at Vaidyagrama. Physically, I leave here feeling my energy levels fully restored. I feel clear and light. Life no longer feels so heavy. emotionally, I just feel love and gratitude.
I was able to not only heal here, but also study with the Vaidyas as part of my ayurveda doctor studies. Such experience, knowledge, and wisdom were given to me. and now I feel strong, strong enough, to not only hold it, but to keep it and cherish it and share it with my fellow Westerners. India has my heart… I will miss you, and I will be back soon.
Special all my love & gratitude, thanks to my teacher Dr. Ramadas!

It was my second time in Vaidyagrama. I came for almost 35 days and my only objective was to find solution to help me regain more energy due to a very complex digestive issue – Malabsorption. After having faced three times with a very aggressive colon cancer, my digestive system has been very much mutilated. These are the organs that I have lost.
– colon, duodenum, part of the stomach, head of pancreas, gall bladder, and ovaries.
My energy has been drained because of the so much mutilated digestive system. Allopathic medicine has zero solutions for me. I can say that in vaidyagrama my doctors have made miracles. I feel so much better in all aspects. My bowels have been significantly improved, which is such a blessing to recover more energy.
Of course, to continue to field this energy I will have to follow the prescription of medicines but also, I will have to reconsider completely my nutrition. It is a huge challenge, and I am ready to take it.
I truly recommend this wonderful place. The therapists are very competent and kind. The doctors are very much dedicated to their patients. I will come back next year.
Thanks to all the wonderful team. I love you all!

Vaidyagrama stands true to its Vision and commitment to heal with lovely service-oriented team of doctors, therapists, and all people behind the scenes. Having come multiple times for office-related works earlier, coming as a patient for healing was a big eye opener. It was a very fulfilling time for self-reflections, healing, walking, meeting new friends and enjoying the treatment. It was a real treat. Rejuvenation in full swing and thoroughly enjoyed every bit.
Thank you!

Vaidyagrama was a place everyone has been suggesting for me to get treated, after I got my allergies. First time coming here, made me feel healthier and fresher. My mind got clear as my body got treated. This was a different experience for me. I met a lot of people from all over the world and enjoyed talking to them. The therapists and doctors are very friendly and made sure I was comfortable every moment. I feel thankful to them. The food was very different from my normal food, but got used to it after a few days. It was an overall a good experience!

Dear Vaidyagrama family, this being my second visit, it was indeed a good experience. Thanks to all doctors who attended to me as well as therapists and housekeeping staff. The trainee therapists needs to be trained well; they often falter in attending to various needs of the patient. Since they are additionally responsible for serving food and medicines to patients apart from their regular work, which is conducting treatments. Stray cats need to be checked on. Apart from this, all about my stay here was simply great. Thank you vaidyagrama!

There are several things I must mention here. One is that the atmosphere is very peaceful and calm. I feel that for any healing to happen, this is essential. A bit of Nature all around you. The call of the peacock is particularly nicety listen in the day.
Also, the satsangs are essential to understanding why the treatments, what they are and why you must modify your lifestyle to heal fully. I am so glad that satsangs are there.
Thirdly the doctors are wonderful. Especially mentioning Dr. Hari Kumar and Dr. Shyam. They are super responsive and attentive. They come several times in a day. I really felt well looked after. I have not experienced this elsewhere.
Lastly the staff from the cleaning to the treatments, all were polite, motivated and efficient and also cheerful. What more can anyone ask! Special mention – Shyni, Badra, Manju. This is a great place and I hope to continue with following the medicines and Ayurvedic principles once I reach home.
I look forward to coming again!

Utility problems were solved immediately by Balu, and cleaning was very responsive → Jagdeshwari
Doctors were very thoughtful and always available when needed them… Dr HariKumar, Shyam Dr along with Dr Anupama.
→ My regular therapists Santosh & Anish were great, a special mention to them. Along with others Soman, Girish etc. were very good too. Most of treatments were nice experience – Some great therapists. Our Illam was handled by girls very well, very timely. Serving of meals and medicines
→Bad in
X One small complaint would be the insect issue in my room – throughout the 21 days. It was difficult, and I have not been at complete mental ease.
Overall, it’s been great! and I hope the medicines solve issue once I go home.

I can write on for pages about how my experience was here. It is a family here. Home away from home and healing happens at home. Everyone is super cool here – all the doctors, therapists and other staff. They genuinely care. Love to all of the folks at Vaidyagrama!
Suggestions:
-incense or sambrani in the treatment room
-better quality towels to reduce waste
-inclusions of variety of recipes with a little more taste, so that it is easier for patients to continue the same food they receive here, at home too.

Vaidyagrama is truly a healing village; it’s a beautifully conserved and planned centre of providing services in the local community with local resources. The Vision, dedication, passion and commitment of Dr Ramkumar, Sujatha and Geeta help to make Vaidyagrama unique and special. The main assets of this place are the doctors and staff who worked tirelessly to look after their patients.
Dr Ramadas is a true healer- he inspires you with positive thoughts and his caring and wisdom along with his humility thank you doctor Ramdas for all your care and words of wisdom. Thank you also to the ever smiling and helpful doctor Ardent and doctor Sreeji for your care and support. A big thank you to the therapists Shalini, Indumati, Sreeshma and Sreeshna for their skilled and cheerful support.
Thank you also to all the staff of Vaidyagrama for making my stay so comfortable and memorable. I will carry back all the happy memories of the time that I have spent here amongst you all.
May God bless you all and may you always achieve your dreams and hearts desire.
Until we met meet again!

At the outset I would like to say I am very comfortable and happy being here. I could easily stay for months!
My doctor Dr. Ramadas’ joyful attitude has been a blessing and inspiration. Dr. Vasudev’s kindness and patience is marvellous. Dr RamKumar’s Satsangs were the highlight of each day. Each staff member has been expectationally kind and warm and the other patients were a pleasure to meet.
Some suggestions:
Do not allow Wi-Fi more than one hour per patient.
I suffered from acidity and poor sleep through my stay because of the food which I thoroughly enjoyed, but acidic patients like myself should be given a diet free of acidity or Kanji.
The therapists need some more training – this is my third Panchakarma and the previous two places, all the therapists were as good as Vaidyagrama’s Sameena.
The bathroom cleaning should use separate sponges for each patient, or they should be disinfected and sun-dried.
The Cow Puja should be stopped near the Hall, and it can be done at the Goshala itself as the patients do not have to see it like a tourist activity.
There should be a weekly havan.
The new towels should be washed before use.
Should keep dogs open and free within gates of compound.
The Goshala needs help, the young bulls seem to have a little malnutrition.
Overall, I had a great stay, and I would love to come every year back to the room I am in now. The only thing that marred my experience was the acidity because of the food habits. Otherwise, my experience was perfect and exactly what I needed.
Thank you so very much, special thanks to my sweet therapist specially Mariam, and Dr. Aruna for her helpfulness.

Exactly a month ago on July 25th Sunday was my first Zoom meeting with Dr Ramadas. This was the start of my journey into Vaidyagrama (a healing village discovered through my browsing the net for one, and strongly recommended by my dear friend Latha Rajiv whose in-laws had a very memorable and effective stay in Vaidyagrama).
They say time and tide wait for no one. So my time to get a healing process alone had come and in two weeks from my consultation call with Dr Ramadas, I was in Vaidyagrama for my 21-days treatment. The initial three to four days were difficult, trying to find my roots in a new environment and settling into a totally new routine. But looking back, I am so thankful to the Almighty for having brought me to a wonderful place with loving people taking care of me every minute.
Dr Ramadas is one of the most caring people I have come across and he has always been there every time you are worried or confused, to answer your queries very rationally and take you through the right course of treatment. My two regular doctors Dr Mini and Dr Ardent were like my two Guardian Angels checking on my well being morning and evening and making me feel at home every moment there. Their smiling pleasing manner always kept me at ease, and all my aches and pains would vanish once I see them.
My main therapist Deekshita very quiet kept always soft and pleasing I felt at ease with her right from my first session of treatment. She was my constant therapist for 21 days also taking care of my needs of food, water, medicines etc. my other two therapists Maya and Vidya were also equally hospitable and caring
I cannot be without mentioning the excellent services provided by the housekeeping and laundry staff on a daily basis. Above all the visits of Sujatha to my room now and then was also a welcoming one.
On the whole Vaidyagrama took such good care of me and I am looking forward to go home more healthier refreshed and Happy.
Dr Ramadas’ daily prayers in morning and evening were my main source of mental strength and peace. I truly believe that all these lovely people were God sent to me and I wish Vaidyagrama and all these wonderful people the kept of every thing in life. May Lord Guruvayurappan help all of them and their families always happy, healthy and prosperous
A word of appreciation also goes to the lovely people at the reception and the back office- Athira, Krishnakumar, Sivaprakash and all others who pleasingly helped me at any time I needed help.
Thank you once again!

It has been a pleasant surprise that three weeks goes by so fast. Having no experience with Ayurveda I came with an open mind inspite of practicing allopathic medicine for over 40 years. It did not disappoint me rather modern……. in your approach to treating not just the body but also the mind and spirit of the human soul!
I can’t say enough of doctors, therapists and all the support staff everyone is very courteous and caring. Thanks especially my team of providers Vaidya Ramadas, chikitsaka Ardent Winston and therapists Sreeshma and Girish.
Best wishes
See you again

From the very beginning from welcoming the patient to treating them and sending them back is all done so beautifully that it doesn’t feel like we are her for treatment. The hospitality is beyond point and beautiful. The staffs, the therapist, the doctors treat us with such care. We don’t feel the weight of if. It’s all done so neatly and wonderfully. My stay here had me realise what it is to be a person. The calmness taught me the value of peace. The birds here made me forgot I had a phone. A break from all the noises.
My outmost gratitude to everybody who has been part of my journey.my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Dr.Ramanandan and Dr.Sajna .they were so patient with me meeting all my needs and care. A huge thanks to sreeshna here, she made it easy for me. shenbagavalli akka helped me in keeping my space clean and tidy thank you.

There is only one way to leave Vaidyagrama with one happy and one sad eye. A happy eye because one feels healthy, replenished, cared for returning to the outside world well prepared to be healthy. A sad eye is inevitable however as departing here means leaving behind the safe warm-hearted nurturing space and incredible staff that one grows fond of the that heals. Mostly one leaves with a deep sence of gratitude for the received blessings, a calmer mind, focused spirit and a sense of certainity to return to this marvelous place that magically delivers all one needs and removes what one doesn’t it.
Thank you Vaidyagrama for all you did and for adding another member to your beautiful family

Life takes you to places through its unique mystical Journeys. Vaidyagrama is one such journey. It is yet another retreat. I thought where I will treat my health condition as go back to the mind and……. life. But it is not.
I will surrender to the doctors. I said to myself. Cosmic conspiracy had something more for me the healing. Not just at the physical realms.. But also the Astral and spiritual realms.
The clock is set rather rese. So many suppressed emotions…. down the drain… literally.
Understood the significance of the body wellbeing. The importance of mental wellbeing and living life in harmony. It is a life changing experience for me. The best gift I could give myself ever. Thanks is all the wonderful doctors and the team of Vaidyagrama For the Love and kindness.. ever grateful
I am also truly inspired by the sustainability concept implemented. How……… consumed and people welfare with top priority. Inspiring work with the children from the villages and employment to the women… Great work.. May it flourish! Best wishes to the team as you…. many more lives with your kindness

The hospital keeps improving while holding onto its core values. Their level of service to each and every patient is second to none. As in every institution, some improvements can be made and once mentioned, they are done immediately.
Grateful to have this beautiful space to come as and when needed. I am amazed at what all they do to help and empower even all the villages around. Thanks to all the doctors and staff for everything they do smilingly!

Dear Vaidya Grama family,
It’s a joy to record this entry, having completed 35 days of treatment at your lovely sanctuary, having come from the US where medicine has become completely transactional in nature. It was such a pleasure to be treated by courteous and loving professionals who truly care about the wellbeing of patients. Western medicine can learn a lot from your approach. Doctors Dr. Hari Kumar, Vinod, Prameela and Suvedha took great care of me and were always available and patient with my questions.
Therapists and staff of illam 11 were wonderful as well and a pleasure to work with all-through my treatment here. I am confident that the physical, emotional and mental benefits from my time here will continue to unfold for months to come. This is truly a sacred place and I hope this is the start of a long relationship together.

We have completed our 21 days of Ayurvedic treatment. The doctors and therapists are really dedicated and take care of the patients very well. Doctors are ever available to guide and take care of the patients. Therapists are all well-trained and sincere. The whole staff is courteous and well-behaved.
We will be missing the group lunches on Wednesday followed by the entertainment session, the daily recital of stotras in the temple, and the small chit chat with the fellow patients. On the whole it gave a family atmosphere. The serene atmosphere and the healthy air from the medicinal plants in and around Vaidyagrama makes the whole experience a wholesome one. It heals both mind and body at one go.
Thanks to the whole Vaidyagrama team !

Vaidyagrama is an excellent traditional Ayurveda treatment centre. This place gives an occasion to meet one’s own soul, body and mind. Here one feels touches of air, trees, earth, rain, all important Elements of Nature. In Nature’s lap, invigorating eco system, here silence touches not only soul but each nerve of body. Morning-evening Prayers, Meditation and Mantras recitation simply elevate. This way Vaidyagrama is a Holistic treatment centre in the true sense addressing Physical care, Mental and Emotions and Spiritual urge/need.
From the top Doctors to the one who is engaged in other things of this institution, all are very courteous, self-disciplined, and pleasing. Remarkable part is they give true service with ‘Seva Mission’. As a Countryman, I feel proud for all those whose Vision and efforts created this great institution.
Stayed almost for nine days. Memorable stay. Dr. Ramkumar ji’s clarity, vast knowledge of ancient Vedic texts and modern issues of Health, gave remarkable opportunity to understand this health issue in a new way.
Dr. E.K. Ramanandan ji, his colleague Doctors and all staff who gave treatment to me – I feel grateful to all for their loving Care during stay.
Thanks to All Again.

Vaidyagrama is a place of such integrity and authenticity. It is a treat to be here amongst a community of healers, so dedicated to helping and serving others. The atmosphere is ideal and so suitable for healing and regeneration. The wisdom, compassion and knowledge of the doctors is inspiring and humbling.
When I gave feedback about a couple of issues, I was so impressed that I was heard with such a positive and humble attitude and my concerns were addressed immediately. I leave here feeling healthier than I have in a long time.
May this wonderful community thrive and sustain and help many, many more people who benefit from the deep wisdom of Ayurveda.

Vaidyagrama feels like home, only a much better version of home – nurturing and wholesome! One starts to heal simply by stepping into this space. This space has been carefully maintained by the dedication and commitment of everyone involved, from the Directors to the Maintenance staff.
This is my second time here; the first time made a huge difference in my health and energy levels. I was running on empty again with many issues starting to surface. I can already feel the difference in my body and in my energy level after 18 days have gone. I seem to have received the best I was waiting for.
I can count on Vaidyagrama providing excellent and authentic Ayurveda care and so much more. Ultimately, it’s the kindness, compassion and genuine care of the people here that heals. Thank you so much Vaidyagrama!

The place feels richer with the green verdant herbal plants, the therapists have a deep sense of themselves, and the doctors are just the BEST! Dr.Ramanandan treats me as his family – full of care and concern. Dr.Sajna – She has grown from the shy 20 something to an amazingly confident, caring, wonderful doctor!

When my wife and I go back from Vaidyagrama, our family and friends are probably going to look at how much weight will be lost. What may not be so obvious is what we have gained – a better understanding of how to take care of our body and mind with simple changes in our food and lifestyle and a lot more awareness. We do not know or rather remember how wonderful one felt as a child on Mother’s lap. Secure, loved and pampered with a touch of discipline to ensure the child grows up right. That’s exactly how we felt this last three weeks in Vaidyagrama. What did we like the most? The scientific, careful treatment? The doctors who were open to all the questions and forthcoming with all the answers? The warmth and affection of everyone in the team? The green peaceful setting? For us what charmed us were all the above and the food!
We were warned that we would only get boring Kanji and green gram every day. Yes, we did get both on several days, but we were also surprised by the variety on offer diet calculated to work with the treatment yet engaging enough for the palate. Surprised? so were we.
In fact, we found ourselves eagerly waiting in our room for the food to arrive, from the Herbal tea to the soup to the meals. If you care for your body and want to take charge of your body the Ayurveda way you should be here. Come with trust and the willingness to surrender to the love and care here, just as we did. As we go home from Vaidyagrama, we are empowered by the knowledge and the medicines to continue the healing journey. And the reassurance that expert help is just a call away. Thank you Vaidyagrama!

Thank u Vaidyagrama for the complete care you had taken on me. Though this is my second visit during consecutive Septembers, I was put up outside illam last time and purely missed the divine inside the campus. This time I am Put up in illam 3,111 and this was completely different feeling altogether. Starting from the receptionist, cleaners, therapist, Junior doctors Medical directors, everyone’s approach remain the same to the visitors. I visited purely for rejuvenation program, and I feel light and motivated now. Hospitality by Dr.Ardent , Dr. Mini and the therapists Santosh, Girish and Rathesh were wonderful. Dr Ramdas visit every morning is a positive vibration and wonder how he keeps energy throughout the day. Probably that is the exercise for next time.
Couple of satsangs by Dr. Ram Kumar and Dr. Ramadas was very thoughtful and informative.
The room maintenance by the ladies was impressive.
Thank you all very much and see you in the coming September.

Myself and my wife came here for a short visit of 7 days of treatment which started on 7.9.2021. During the early days only, we found a positive change in our body conditions and then as per the advice of the doctor we extended our stay for further 12 days. We improved a lot, and we are living today on 24.9.2021.
Our stay in Vaidyagrama will be the most rememberable event in our life. The services rendered by the doctors, therapists and all the administrative staff are most remarkable and very nice. The satsangs and all other activities conducted at Mandapam are very good. The classes conducted by doctors were very informative and very good. The prayers in the morning and evening gave so much of positive energy to all.
We pray to the Almighty for the development of this institution and also for the well-being of each and every one of you

My stay at Vaidyagrama as always has been exceptional. it’s like coming back home to family. To see the smiles and hugs from everyone itself heals you. My talks with Dr Ramdas has been very very soothing and comforting as always. I am grateful to the entire team of Vaidyagrama for making my stay at Vaidyagrama a beautiful experience. (In spite of the headache) Dr Mini has been very kind checking on me multiple times due to my headache the therapist Indhu and Dheekshita have been very sweet too. Big thank you to everyone.

Had a wonderful experience at Vaidyagrama. Enjoyed the holistic approach of treatments, good, stay and the environment. Understand the importance of the body and the love we must show every day in our day-to-day busy life.
Dr. Ramdas helped need to realize that. We can achieve anything, everything when our body, mind is in balance.
Dr.Mini is so caring and I feel like I am at home with the warmth treatment when I am down. Thanks to Dr. Ardent for all his support.
The entire team is so good and caring.
Thanks to the entire team and if strongly recommend Vaidya grama to many of my friends and relatives.

My stay at Vaidyagrama was wonderful, thanks to all the Doctors, Therapists, Staff and the people staying here. At first, I was only expecting to get my treatment done. However, I received more than that lots of learning, laugh and smile. I would like to thank especially to Dr. Ardent Winston for his day-to-day support as well as answering my questions. He is very knowledgeable with Ayurveda and very kind. I will miss the time with him after going back home. I ‘d have not been able to complete my treatment happily.
I’d also like to thank Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Ramkumar for sharing lots of wisdom of Ayurveda. I especially enjoyed learning the philosophy of Ayurveda and attending ah Sastangs morning and evening prayer were a wonderful way of connected to self.
Being able to be at this moment with lots of new people is the gift I received in here.

My stay at vaidyagrama was a beautiful experience. The therapies were good and very intense and we were told at practically every satsang by Dr Ramkumar about how the theory goes “NO PAIN NO GAIN” Dr Ramkumar satsang was a take home with a lot of information on Ayurveda.
Special thanks to Dr Ardent Winston for being every patient and calm no matter how emotionally got affected by the “ghee therapy” also a very big thank you to Dr Ramdas whose knowledge in Ayurveda is vast. The prayer sessions were beautiful, and I tried not to miss any. The therapists were all with a very happy despeciation and well trained, A big thank you to Vaishnavi for always attending to me with a big smile. Vaidyagrama is a lovely space to be in, amidst nature, lush, green, serene and a lot of positive energy. My stay of 16 days was lovely, made good friends, carrying back lot of fond memories, peace at heart….the weather made it even more beautiful (we had rains every day).
My warmest thanks to each one of you once again. Stay ever inspired and carry on the mantra of Vaidyagrama as I take back a piece of it in my heart with a lot of gratitude.

Ok, first I have to admit this, I had the cutest Docs ever…. (Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Sajna, Dr. Arun, Dr. Aruna.P.V). Dr. Ramanandan, once I had to take my ghee where I was not able to… being director he came down to me, He was like you have to drink if you drink today tomorrow no ghee promise (“Aww” was my reaction). Then I said Ok but don’t look at me pls… I am not able to drink, then he was like Ok I’m going, and he went a bit far and before drinking I once turned and looked at him and he was actually looking when I saw he was like Ok, I’m not looking… hehehehehe (I know he is cute). Dr. Sajna, regarding my problem I shouldn’t do one thing and so once she came to me, she was like do not do that ok…. Promise…. Promise me…hehehehe (I know she’s cute too). Dr. Aruna, I think she had one of the toughest jobs that is to make me drink the ghee… (She is the sweetest). Dr. Arun, He is sweet either he comes to me always with a smile and talks about my routine.
Thanks to all the people whoever did treatment for me. (Devaki), she always wanted me to be comfortable.
Dr. Vinod- I once heard his speech (Basics about Ayurveda), he was so clear …. Thanks for that.
Sujatha ma’am – She gave some of her time for me… she was so sweet. Both the Receptionists, they were very sweet and polite. That guy who always goes through my internet problem. Thanks to him. The one who cleans my room; she also always wanted me to be comfortable (I know I left many people).
At last, I knew one thing, you guys wanted everyone to fly happy.
Keep doing that!

Vaidyagrama made me to learn something and unlearn many things, when I came here in an heightened emotions and severe gastro problems. I liked the treatment part very much, I totally surrendered myself to my Vaidyas. Secondly the congenial atmosphere created by them also healed me. The satsang and other activities gave me discipline and inputs to think over myself. The staff especially Dheekshita who served food to me took care of me more than my family. I express my gratitude to all of them.
My therapist Kalpana and Maria were skillful and made me to relish everyday treatment. Dr Mini and Dr Ardent are lovable and very intelligent, their presence here gave me good vibes. The chief Dr Ramadas planned my treatment with his experience and knowledge got me out of gloom. Discussions and debates with Dr. Ramkumar during satang really enlightened me. All other doctors Dr. Ramanand, Dr. Hari Kumar and others showed me warmth.
Madam Geetha and Madam Sujatha’s contributions to this institution is mind blowing. The IT department persons especially Sandeep took great care of my outer world connections. The reception account section staff, trust staff, cooking sections, Ms. Sunitha and Kavitha gave me a helping hand whenever I needed it. I am grateful to Manjusha and some girls for liking my songs and took video of it.
There are so many persons behind the screen who put their hard work in maintaining the entire hospital, laundry, housekeeping etc. Though I don’t know their names, I express my sincere appreciation. I love the food.

I have come here on a friend’s recommendation and from the time I arrived it has felt like home. After about 3-4 days, I would feel a change for the better. All the doctors, staff and therapists have been very good and caring.
I would like to make a small comment on the food. I think we could be provided by some more fresh fruits and fruit juices etc. I would like to thank all the doctors for taking such good care of me. Thank you and look forward to see you all in the near future. P.S would like to see pictures of the papaya plant that I planted.

We came here and came to know about this place through a friend of ours, Mr. Chakrapani, who had come here and taken treatment. I and my wife both came here for treatment, and we have been here for the last 12 days. There has been improvement in the pain and movements for both of us. Daily satsangs were very informative and educational, particularly for us who have not being exposed to Ayurveda. I learned a lot about different approaches in Ayurveda. Food was good and enjoyed the variety. The staff, doctors, administrators, therapists, gardeners, housekeeping, and all is very friendly and courteous and helpful. Doctor’s visits every day, both the senior and attending physicians are very comforting and informative. Overall, a great experience and would recommend to anyone. There are many positive testimonials.

Although I am a believer of Indian culture and its authentic way of curing and healing our body, which promotes healing of mind then, but when I came here, had image of an ashram very basic. As soon I entered here, some very uplifting energy! Welcomed me and at that point I started feeling very nice, positive vibrations. As soon as I reached in my room Dr Renjisha and Dr Megala approached me and Dr Ramadas also came to see me. I felt so special. Every Doctor including all senior are so humble, dedicated and make each of us feel so important. Till the extent that all administrative and executive bodies know almost each patient here and wish when they see you. Overall, your therapist, and people serving you for medicine, food and cleaning inspite of language barrier, keeps doing their job with. a HUGE SMILE & humbleness. So, affectionately that at a point I felt like I will be spoilt having their unconditional love & support. May God always bless them with Great health and joys in their life. The Kerala architecture, long shaded corridors, lush greenery medicinal trees, amazing medicinal herbs, amazing birds chirping early morning, lotus blooming Here & there, fresh breeze – every bit of here was so adorable. Last but not the least are Dr. Ram Kumar ‘s Satsang which gives you answers for all your doubts and curiosities and connects you to positive energy over there. At last, I would love to congratulate all the senior doctor who dreamt of making this place and put it into existence. It is a model for our country
“May all live happy, all live healthy!!

Truly a divine experience it has been for us in the lovely Vaidyagrama healing village. It has been an eye opener for us and we are going back with a lot of knowledge regarding Ayurveda. Dr. Ramanandan and the whole team including Dr.Vikneswari, therapists Hema, Adityabala, Arya and Maya, and so many of them including housekeeping staff and the people at the reception who all have been so wonderful and kind to us. It has been a home away from home these last two weeks and we will truly hold this in our hearts as a very special time for my husband and me.

An unforgettable experience is all I can say about my stay at Vaidyagrama. The 15 days just passed so quickly. The morning prayers, satsangs and the evening prayers added more value to our journey to Ayurveda. Everyone at Vaidyagrama have added their value, competence to make our stay comfortable at Vaidyagrama. A big thank you to everyone. It is a well spent Dussera festival at this home away from home. We are going back to our places, promising to come back. A truly rejuvenating journey to the world of AYURVEDA with Vaidyagrama. A big thank you to Dr.Ramanandan,

What a special place on Earth it is? Beautiful from inside out. From the smile and grace of people who dreamed and built it as an act of service to the beauty of nature, animals (Yes, the 3cats who come once daily just to get cuddles), Snails who would use their slow meditative path in the rain without concern for anything ever, and the birds. I have healed my trauma of the body being touched (before coming here I would keep anyone at arm’s length away); but thanks to the amazing ayurveda practitioners, they made my spirit to reconnect to the body, their prayers and healing massage is from God. The food is filled with love and regeneration. Every detail of this place is from service and love. P. S. for Dr. A. R Ramadas… Thank you for advising on the next tattoo “My journey in twin flames”; and thanks to each Doctor for attention, love and care.

To vaidyagrama team,
We always recommend VG for everyone.
We were 3 members of family who came to vaidyagrama for treatment. We came here to find peace & take care of the stress we were going through. It was such a brilliant team in vaidyagrama who helped us come out of the situation. Dr. Harikumar treated us, and he is such a great doctor who patiently listens through our issue and gives immediate cure. He is such a great human that he not only treated us medically but also spiritually. We learnt the divinity in our body and how to take care of it. Dr. Prameela is another great person who always listened to our needs and helped us with solutions. She always kept us aware of the health condition and the treatment that will be given for the cure. She always cleared our doubts on a very positive note. Therapist Sajith is very well experienced and is a kind person. He was very sincere and was very caring during the therapy. Also, special mention to therapists Bindhumol, Bindu T and Laluprasad who did a great job in bringing back our health physically & mentally.

Vaidyagrama Healing Village- The name truly embodies its healing spirit. My friends Naheed Currimjee and Suguna Srikrishnan directed me here to come and heal! The past 10 years have been so exhausting for me and had I not surrendered to Dr Ramanandan’s guidance, I might have been dealing with many health issues. Even now I know I need to do a lot of work on myself, but Vaidyagrama has shown me the path. I cannot THANK All of you enough! My sincere thanks to Dr. Subhalakshmi (incredibly diligent and caring human), therapists Hema, Maya, Ramu and the housekeeping Staff. The food, everyone and everything was a balm to my battered being. Also, my good luck I have met amazing people here and know it’s the start of some amazing friendships!

I wanted to take some time off to focus on my health. Specifically, I wanted to deal with my nicotine gum addiction, lose some weight and eat healthier.
What attracted me to the place was its simplicity and authenticity I was not disappointed.
The facility has everything I needed and no frivolous bells and whistles. The Staff all the way from. medical directors and down to the cleaners are amazing and engaged. This is truly an amazing place.

For many reasons, Vaidyagrama is one of the finest Ayurveda healing centers in India today. My daughter Subhulakshmi and then my sister-in-law Nandita almost pressed me to come here for my digestion and gut related issues. The whole ambience- architecture, flora and fragrance of dhoop and neem leaves creates an immensely calming effect as soon as you walk in past the reception.
The warmth of the staff, their care and concern put ones at ease immediately. The most important and critical aspect of the institution is the expertise of its medical doctors and staff. I am very impressed with all the doctors, their knowledge and experience in treating a whole range of medical conditions. The well-trained therapists, the satsangs with doctors, the chanting in the morning and evening have healed me in mind, body, and spirit. Another reassuring point is that the doctors live on campus and maintain the same lifestyle that is provided for the patients. They are excellent role models and finally the food. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Dear Dr. Ramanandan & all the Vaidyagrama team
This is my first visit to Vaidya grama! It is truly an amazing healing and nourishing space.
All the Doctors, Therapists. and support staff are amazing people with a lot of love and caring and make you feel at home. It indeed needs a great Vision to set up a place like this.
The arrangement of the rooms in the Illams with a patio to relax and a front courtyard with plants, are all part of a great healing space.
The Brahmakamalam with the Shivalingam and prayers in the morning. and evening is a place with a lot of divine energy.
All the doctors share their knowledge and answer any doubt the regular Satsangs held at Mandapam.
The food served is excellent Satvik food, most suitable for the digestive system and for a calm mind.
I look forward to coming back here in future.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
As I get ready to leave this place after 3 weeks, there is a lot to look back on and reflect. Firstly, this place offers holistic healing. They address all the factors that facilitate healing – diet, medicines, and environment (the more obvious ones) – but what really differentiates the place from others is I believe, the focus on healing the minds through regular spiritual practice and satsangs.
I came to realize that often, diseases are caused by mind and the associated faculties. The daily prayer sessions with Dr. Ramadas (who was also my designated doctor) and the satsangs with Dr.Ramkumar were very powerful and beneficial.
The more tangible factors such as diet, medicines and daily treatments are all finely tailored to the needs of everyone here. What stood out to me was the exceptional patience, compassion and friendliness showed by each and every staff member, which made by stay truly special (especially the Junior Doctors and the therapists).
Lastly what really appealed to me about this place is the healing ecosystem that Dr.Ramkumar and team have set out to create. They source a lot of their local products, do organic farming and support the local community by having shelters for young people (balagrama)and provide daily meals to especially those in very low-income families in the surrounding villages (which I had the fortune of attending).
I came with a specific long-standing health condition and it is too early to tell if I have been fully healed; but hopefully Vaidyagrama has given me the tools to meet my physical, mental, and emotional needs that would put me on the road to total healing and recovery.
Wishing all the VG staff the very best and heartfelt thanks for all the loves and hospitality.
P.S : Special thanks to the staff of Illam 5 & 8 (where I stayed) and to Dr.Ramadas and Dr.Ramkumar.

This is my first Visit to Vaidyagrama. Vaidyagrama is beautiful place with a wonderful concept. A big thanks to all the doctors and Staff for taking care of me so well. My Dr Ramanandan and Doctors Megala, Renjisha and Anjali were wonderful. They were there when I needed them. Mariyamma and Kavitha were so good to me. It would be great if the food is improved little bit. I felt very weak after my Detox treatment.
Thank you all so much.

This is my fifth week at vaidyagrama. I was very nervous about the process when I first came in. But, I was quickly able to adapt and trust the process. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Ardent. I feel so much better than my first day here and I was able to discontinue all my medicines. Special thanks to Dr. Megala, Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Anjali and Dr. Aruna for checking up on me quite often. I am going to miss this environment, satsangs and all the friends I made here. Thanks to all my caring therapists. I will be back to this magical healing village in better health.

This is our first visit and introduction to our Ayurveda healing, and we have thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The entire team of senior doctors, junior doctors, therapists and the support staff have been meticulous in every aspect of patient care, and the attention to detail is highly commendable.
At the very beginning of this 21-day stay, one can have apprehension and doubts if one can stay the whole course given that one must adapt to a very frugal and non-indulgent lifestyle. But after the first few days, it is apparent that this way of life is not impossible to aspire for. And this is one of the key takeaways from our experience here.
We would like to place on record our thanks and gratitude to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Renjisha and Dr Meghala, who have been so approachable and who have gone out of our way to answer every query we had.
Also, our sincere thanks to our therapist who looked after us, as one would look after family members.
We hope we can implement back at home what we have learnt here. And it will be our strong recommendation to anybody to surrender themselves to the vaidyagrama team once you are here.
This place brings your mind and body in harmony with each other. We look forward to coming here at least once a year. Thank you so much!

One of the time encounters has happened when peace sets in, with trust and a sense of a warmed heart. This is what happened to me here. I am yet unclear how this experience will continue to move me, to move in me. Shifts are often unnoticeable, but one knows where they began.
For me this week, I know, I will mark a before and after. I found care, humanity all around, and such authenticity in the words, and gestures, but also deep nourishment from the most incredible “home” that Vaidyagrama offers.
Only 7 days and I feel I will miss all the beautiful people who form this village. Thank you warmly, to Dr Aruna, Dr Ardent, Dr Harikrishnan and also all of those whom I don’t know the names of.
Thank you, Sujata Bose, for my “old” friend for taking me here and showing me the way to a new paradigm. My deep-felt gratitude towards vaidyagrama for putting me on my journey with care!

Serendipity played a part in my coming to vaidyagrama. I was looking for a place that was peaceful and tranquil where I could go be by myself, read my spiritual texts and rest and rejuvenate my body. And as luck would have it, my sister-in-law Sheena Reddy mentioned Vaidyagrama and spoke so highly of it that on a whim and prayer, I checked to see if any rooms were available.
Luckily for me, I was welcome to this little oasis and was able to soak in the peace and warmth during my short stay there.
Right from the staff at the Reception to the Doctors, Therapists and support staff, everyone has been so warm and gracious and always ready to fulfil my request with a smile on their face.
The lovely settings and service exceeded my expectations and I feel re-energised and hopeful that I will be able to follow the good practice I picked up here.
Thank you one and all from vaidyagrama for my wonderful stay. The only downside was the food which was a little bland for my liking. The food at the group Lunch was delicious, though.

Looking online for Panchakarma places in India I chose vaidyagrama, thinking of here as I had brought my husband in 2007. I had no idea how this would be after that many years. There was an initial shock as it was not the place I had in mind, but after I settled in, I fell in love with the place. The room is beautiful and comfortable except for mosquitoes and other small crawling living beings. It’s very peaceful and serene.
I love all the therapists but Lakshmi, Maria and Kavitha have been extra caring, making sure I was comfortable and at peace. All the doctors have been great, loved listening to the Satsang and got to learn and know about ayurveda. Dr Anjali, Dr Megala and Dr Renjisha and Dr Ardent took special care and I wish them a bright and successful future.
Dr Ramdas’ prayers – I won’t forget. His voice would echo in my ears.
Above all my vaidya, Dr Ramanandan is the best. Blessings! God sent him on my way, he has been very patient and very understanding. I just adore him. He is very skilful and very caring, thoughtful, and an experienced physician. I wish him the best of everything.
Dr Ramkumar’s satsangs were very meaningful and thought-provoking. He has a great smile and a simple way of explaining everything.
Dr Vinod, I only had a short conversation and he seems to be very intelligent and a great vaidya.
This place felt like home to me, and I am in fact thinking of coming next year and doing some volunteer work and learning Ayurveda.
All the people behind the scenes and the cleaning staff, food delivery and front desk reception and office staff have been great, as the laundry people. Finally, I would say, I am going back to the U.S.A with a lot of warm and great memories and experiences. It has been a wonderful stay.
God bless us all for being one family! Good luck and warm wishes to everyone.
Love you all, Thanks!

Outstanding experience! The entire treatment is very holistic and treats the body, mind, and emotional levels. All the vaidyas are very knowledgeable and the therapists are also trained very well. The highly spiritual and natural environment, very calming to the mind! All the staff are incredibly kind and helpful.
Dr Harikrishnan has been doing a wonderful job, he explains the treatment clearly and patiently every time; and Dr Megala checks up on me daily which made me much more confident. This is a place of peace and love where the energy itself is healing.
Taking back lots of new learnings to practice… Never knew Ayurveda has so much to offer.
For the rest of my life, I intend to visit vaidyagrama once every year to stay healthy in the coming years. Heartfelt gratitude and thanks to everyone at Vaidyagrama. Thank you!

Vaidyagrama is incredible and I will always be grateful for my experience here. Everyone from the vaidyas to the cooks, cleaning staff, therapists, and reception staff were wonderful!
I came here much run down and now I leave feeling renewed and rejuvenated. I am inspired to continue a healthy diet and lifestyle. I will work on being less stressed and will get more help!
All the VG service projects are inspiring and commendable. I hope to be involved and I will definitely be back!
Thanks to everyone at Vaidyagrama! God bless!

What a privilege it is to be a part of the vaidyagrama family. I feel so humbled by the caring, and compassion of everyone. The doctors, the therapists, and the office staff are all professional and kind and invested in your healing.
For me healing did happen after 28 days of treatment, I feel so empowered to go back to my home in Florida and continue my healing journey with the intention to return to this magical place.
Yes, magic is based on a deep understanding of the sophisticated science of ayurveda. I have experienced panchakarma before. Here there is a dedication to practise authentic ayurveda.
I want to thank you all, my doctors here Dr Ramanandan, Dr Sajna and the entire team of illam 4 and the entire staff who took care of my every need here, with a smile.

As usual, I have had a lovely healing, nourishing stay at vaidyagrama. The genuine care and nurturing from Dr Suvedha, Dr Ramadas, and Dr Prameela really made this trip extra memorable and special. The whole vaidyagrama family has been amazing as usual – all the doctors, therapists, admin staff, housekeeping staff, maintenance staff – everyone.
It really is a feeling of family here – and just like living with the family, when issues arise, one talks about them and gets them resolved.
This time for me the bigger shift in health has been the mindset – because I am hopeful that I can heal my body without the need for surgery. I will certainly be back and hopefully, the next visit can resolve this endometriosis issue completely.
Thank you to everyone at vaidyagrama for being kind, compassionate, caring, wonderful humans. I am very grateful to all of you!

It has been a privilege to be part of the Vaidyagrama family. This is an extraordinary healing space, and the experience is truly humbling. I believe I started the healing journey, not just physiologically but also emotionally.
My sincere gratitude to all the people who make this experience possible. I want to especially thank Dr Ramanandan and Dr Vikneswari and my therapists Arya, Adithya Bala and Rajini for their care.
All the things you do here – the doctors’ satsangs, prayers, classes – all of them give the right mix for healing. A big thank you to all!

It is such a happy feeling to be welcomed as a part of this lovely VG family! I hope to have more opportunities to come as well to serve with you in the near future. Each member has been ever eager and happy to serve with a smile at any notice. Thank you for a beautiful new experience!
As a seasoned practitioner and PK patient of Ayurveda, it has been interesting to watch and experience the therapies and atmosphere here. Learned a lot and the therapists take time to answer any questions and listen to my concerns. I would like more access to the main female senior doctor and a consistent therapist. A very clean, organized schedule of meals and needs could be followed better.
And games /yoga /more natural light. Great group lunch. I enjoyed the therapies, the time taken and the care at every step. Very thorough and sweet-tempered accommodating Doctors are very pleasant. Some therapies are daily. The lectures are excellent. Start therapies early on warmer days. Allow rest after. Tea/ herbal drink after massage and steam/ bath. Reduce phone use of patients. Decorate Illam 5. Very happy cleaning staff. Amazing!

To be here has been a wonderful experience. Very loving way of caring and healing in this place. A place which calls itself a healing village instead of a hospital.
During my treatments, I had my ups and downs, but thanks to the fact that I was surrounded by loving and caring people, these soon vanished.
Besides the professional care, the loving and caring attitude from all was like medicine, whether it is cleaning staff, therapists, or doctors. Other patients as well.
Vaidyagrama has an energy that spreads to everyone. For me, this is an experience worthwhile repeating. They will see me back. No doubt! Thanks to all!
Love!

Dear Doctors and therapists,
It has been a wonderful experience in this serene centre. The treatment has healed me both mentally and physically. I would like to thank the doctors, therapists, staff and supporting staff who worked and made me feel at home throughout my stay.
I have now promised myself that I will visit vaidyagrama every year in the beginning. I thought I wouldn’t survive without my family and phone, but the experience proves otherwise. I fell in love with the ecosystem here and the sustainability of this place.
There is a lot to reflect on when I get back home. Additionally, even my mother and daughter stayed with me, and loved this place. I also suffered a lot because of my shoulder pain, but Dr Ramanandan and Dr Sajna with their treatments cured my ailments. I am forever grateful to the whole team here.
With love,

I was surprised at how hard this was, but also how much I needed to take a break. I have a renewed sense of rest and some insight into how to help myself when I get off balance. There are things I would change here but I think that’s part of the healing experience, to simply accept “what is”, when to push for your needs to be met and when to relax into the here and now. Everyone was great to me!
P.S. – I really think that therapists work so hard and that was the best part! The therapies were so awesome!

The entire staff was gracious, kind, and caring. I attempted to ask many questions as I was interested to know the whys behind what was being done. It would have been appreciated if more of this information was offered. For example, with the rash that I developed, I was under the impression that it was purely a sign of detoxification until I asked and was told it was more likely an allergic reaction to one of the herbs in the treatment. I did feel some frustration that it was only when the rash became nearly unbearable that the treatment was changed. It felt counterproductive to have my body fighting the unwelcome allergy, as though it sapped some of the energy that would have gone into treating it.
Certainly, I would be viewing this incorrectly as I know very little about ayurveda. As the rash grew worse and stress (Mental/ emotional/ physical) mounted, I began to wonder if I had any choice, as hot water was continuously poured on/ exacerbating the rash, with no signs of interest in changing the treatment despite multiple requests. I can see how many multiple doctors would be valuable for multiple perspectives, but it seemed as if it made it more challenging in some ways as I had to describe my issue again and again. Having just one primary doctor would have felt a bit more supportive and provided continuity for me. Certainly, others may see differently.
Another aspect I felt would have been explained better is what to expect regarding the basti treatment. I was constipated for 2 days after and until I expressed alarm at that (as someone who is normally very regular) I didn’t learn that it is normal. For clueless Westerners, a little more explanation and reassurance would be helpful. I am highlighting constructive criticism because this may be more helpful than praise.
The accommodation is spacious and clean, the food is delicious, the therapists were wonderful, and the doctors are capable and professional, patient, and caring. It also would be helpful to have a photo directory of all the doctors, I found it difficult to remember everyone’s name, I think I saw a total of 6! And similarly, it might be nice if therapists wore name tags. I had difficulty remembering their names.
Thank you to all for this memorable and transformative experience.

First I would like to thank everyone, Doctors, therapists, cook and housekeeping. Always smiling even on tough days! The panchakarma was tougher than I thought. But worthwhile things are rarely easy to achieve and with everyone’s help, I got through. There was some miscommunication about my main needs; eyes and thyroids and not my knee; but this is behind me now and I will stay positive for a healthy future.
I hope, God willing, to return one day. Until then, I wish everyone great health and much happiness. This is a wonderful community that does many wonderful things to help the community and heal the sick. Keep up the great work

Dear Rahima, Sruthy, Mridula, Dr Vinod, Dr Prameela, Dr Suvedha, Dr Harikrishnan and all the beautiful people of illam!
First, allow me to tell you how beautiful each of you is. Your kindness, gentle care and devotion were a gift I will cherish. Please know that you are a pure heart-centred presence in the most healing of treatments, and medicines you offer. Although my time with you was short this time the impact on my life is very long.
I loved sharing laughter with you and hope this small gift brings a smile to your face each day. May your hearts always feel the love, share with others coming back 1000 times, all should I say 108 times Namaste!

Ayurveda has been calling me since the late 1990s. I did not really pay attention until 2016 and even these did not dive in until 2019.
This was my first panchakarma experience and I didn’t know what to expect -what I would need-what might be attended to. I came with an open heart plus mind. I am so thankful to have come here to vaidyagrama and illam 10 for such care. You all tolerated my deep inquisitiveness for what, why plus how…patiently answering my questions, but also quietly guiding my inner soul for quiet.
There was such a love being communicated in every corner-from the meals, treatment, the caring for, the room, the satsangs, the conversation with doctors. I will remember the smiles everyone offered each time. I will go home clearer, a little wiser, more grounded and more knowledgeable about how to care for the space within and around me. Thank you for everything I hope to return.

This is our first visit and introduction to our Ayurveda healing, and we have thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The entire team of senior doctors, junior doctors, therapists and the support staff have been meticulous in every aspect of patient care, and the attention to details is highly commendable.
At the very beginning of this 21-day stay, one can have apprehension and doubts if one can stay the whole course given that you must adapt to a very frugal and non- indulgent lifestyle. But after the first few days it is apparent that this way of life is not impossible to aspire for. And this is one of the keys take-aways from our experience here.
We would like to place on record, our thanks and gratitude to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Renjisha and Dr Meghala, who have been so approachable and who have gone out of our way to answer every query we had.
Also, our sincere thanks to our therapist who looked after us, as one would look after the family members.
We hope we can implement back at home what we have learnt here. And it will be our strong recommendation to anybody to surrender themselves to the vaidyagrama team once you are here.
This place brings your mind and body in harmony with each other. We look forward to coming here at least once a year.Thank you so much!

Vaidyagrama is the best place I have ever seen. I can see many snails, millipedes, birds, and peahens. I have made many friends like Manu, Ponnu, Badru and others. I play with them in the park here where there is a trampoline which is my favourite. I want to come here every year, with my parents.
Thank you!

One of the time encounters has happened when peace sets in, with trust and sense of a warmed heart. This is what happened to me here. I am yet unclear how this experience will continue to move me, to move in me. Shifts are often unnoticeable, but one knows where they began.
For me this week, I know, will mark a before and after. I found care, humanity all around, and such authenticity in the words, gestures, but also deep nourishment from the most incredible “home” that Vaidyagrama offers.
Only 7 days and I feel I will miss all the beautiful people who form this village. Thank you warmly, to Dr. Aruna, Dr. Ardent, Dr. Harikrishnan and also all of those whom I don’t know the names.
Thank you, Sujata Bose, my “old” friend for taking me here and showing me the way to a new paradigm. My deep-felt gratitude towards vaidyagrama for putting me on my journey with care!

Serendipity played a part in my coming to vaidyagrama. I was looking for a place that was peaceful and tranquil where I could go be by myself, read my spiritual texts and rest and rejuvenate my body. And as luck would have it, my sister-in-law Sheena Reddy mentioned Vaidyagrama and spoke so highly of it that on a whim and prayer I checked to see if any rooms where available.
Luckily for me, I was welcome to this little oasis and was able to soak the peace and warmth in my short stay here.
Right from the staff at the Reception to the Doctors, Therapists and support staff, everyone has been so warm and gracious and always ready to fulfil my request with a smile on their face.
The lovely settings and service exceeded my expectation and I feel re-energised and hopeful that I will be able to follow the good practice I picked up here.
Thank you one and all from vaidyagrama for my wonderful stay. The only downside was the food which was a little bland for my liking. The food at the group Lunch was delicious, though.

This is my second visit to vaidyagrama – I had a wonderful experience here for 5 weeks. The days went so fast.
Of course, the Panchakarma did wonders to my body cleansing, now the time for healing. As I go back to Malaysia, emotionally felt very calm and peaceful.
Grateful to all therapists, doctors, all staff in the healing environment. Everyone with a smile makes one so good. Thank you!

Looking online for Panchakarma places in India I chose vaidyagrama, thinking of here as I had brought my husband in 2007. I had no idea how this would be after that many years. There was initial shock as it was not the place I had in mind, but after I settled in, I fell in love with the place. The room is beautiful and comfortable except for mosquitoes and other small crawling living beings. It’s very peaceful and serene.
I love all the therapists but Lakshmi, Maria and Kavitha have been extra caring, making sure I was comfortable and at peace. All the doctors have been great, loved listening to the Satsang and got to learn and know about ayurveda. Dr Anjali, Dr Megala and Dr. Renjisha and Dr. Ardent took special care and I wish them a bright and successful future.
Dr Ramdas’ prayers – I won’t forget. His voice would echo in my ears.
Above all my vaidya, Dr. Ramanandan is the best. Blessings! God send him on my way, he has been very patient and very understanding. I just adore him. He is very skilful and very caring, thoughtful, and an experienced physician. I wish him the best of everything.
Dr Ramkumar’s satsangs were very meaningful and thought provoking. He has a great smile and a simple way of explaining everything.
Dr Vinod, I only had short conversation and he seems to be very intelligent and a great vaidya.
This place felt like home to me, and I am in fact thinking of coming next year and doing some volunteer work and to learn Ayurveda.
All the people behind the scenes and the cleaning staff, food delivery and front desk reception and office staff have been great, and the laundry people. Finally, I would say, I am going back to U.S.A with lot of warm and great memories and experiences. It has been a wonderful stay.
God bless us all for being one family! Good luck and warm wishes to everyone.
Love you all, Thanks!

Outstanding experience! The entire treatment is very holistic and treats the body, mind, and emotional levels. All the vaidyas are very knowledgeable and the therapists are also trained very well. Highly spiritual and natural environment, very calming to the mind! All the staff are incredibly kind and helpful.
Dr Harikrishnan has been doing a wonderful job, he explains the treatment clearly and patiently every time; and Dr Megala checks up on me daily which made me much more confident. This is a place of peace and love where the energy itself is healing.
Taking back lots of new learnings to practice… Never knew Ayurveda has so much to offer.
For the rest of my life, I intend to visit vaidyagrama once every year to stay healthy in the coming years. Heartfelt gratitude and thanks to everyone at Vaidyagrama. Thank you!

When I came here to Vaidyagrama, initially I thought and felt like running away. But instantly my consciousness said if everybody can stay here peacefully then why can’t I? Gradually I started liking it. But to tell the truth I starved at night often, because I have still not been able to consume the food. Yes, the concept of serving simple food during treatment is very good.
I liked all the doctors, therapists and other staff very much; they are so disciplined and honest. I thank the management team and the person behind the scene from such a wonderful humanitarian services.
I came with multiple problems but I am returning with much lesser problems. More than 60% of my health problems are gone by now. All thanks to the Vaidyagrama team and doctors. Certainly I will miss the therapists Maria, Maya, Adhira.

I was very happy when I stayed here. I learnt a lot here – Early waking up, timely food intake. Here people are very good & they treat customer as a family member. Doctors are very nicely treating the patient.
Every day prayer gives us fresh start and spiritual energy for the whole day. I like that very much. Here one best thing is the group lunch on Wednesday afternoons, where we patients enjoy the lunch and the cultural program after also. It is also very good. My wife also enjoyed a lot here.
We are thankful to the doctors, therapists, staff and all departments. Once again we thanking you all in Vaidyagrama!

My experience with Vaidyagrama has been excellent from day one. My first consult over the phone was with Dr. Harikrishnan, who was extremely patient to respond to a plethora of questions raised by me. I have been looking for Ayurveda centres for the past two years and came here through a reference. I am so glad that I made the choice!
The place has satisfied my expectations. In my entire life I am yet to see a treatment centre so beautiful well organised and well managed. The doctors and therapists are ‘gold’ standard; I especially want to thank the Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Aruna, Dr.Anupama, Dr.Meghala, Dr. Prema latha who were outstanding in every respect. They have a great subject matter expertise and have managed my condition in a brilliant way. The therapists especially Lakshmi, Mariamma and Shalini were so gentle and took care of my needs in every way.
I am extremely touched and grateful that I got an opportunity to came here. It is certainly a lifestyle change, and Vaidyagrama doctors are experts helping you adopt to the change. Thank you for all the support. I would highly recommend this place to family and friends!

During my stay at this Vaidyagrama for a week, I learnt and experienced a lot. I learnt how to lead a natural organic based life without any disturbance to our body as well as to our mind. At first I thought ayurveda treatment means having kashayams and oil treatments, but great thanks to Dr. Ramdas Sir and Dr. Ardent Sir to make me understand what it means and made me feel the changes. All the doctors in this place are so friendly & that make us feel so comfortable in sharing our feelings as well as our discomforts.
This environment makes us feel calm and peace; morning prayers give us a good start of the day with relax feel. Great thanks to therapists, supporting staff and all departments who care for us so much. Especially my son enjoyed the stay over here!

I came here for 2 days, but my husband Mukundan is a regular visitor to this wonderful place. He finds time to spend a few weeks here, practically every year. The ambience, the staff, the doctors, the food, everything is praiseworthy. Sincere gratitude to all the doctors and other staff who go out of their way to make us comfortable and happy.
Here everyone is treated as family. Best wishes to all working here, and thank you once again for this wonderful stay!

We had a very interesting change of lifestyle here.
The treatment being first, was a wonderful experience. We felt really rejuvenated with the oil massage therapy! The staff, doctors and all others were excellent in their own way. The food was quite okay, considering the limitation of Ayurveda. Thank you all for making our stay here memorable!

We came here for the first visit with our 7 year old daughter. We were very apprehensive, but she had a great time with all the kids, other patients and Doctors. Experience here was very different. Some highlights below:
Doctors are very caring and helpful. The healing process is very holistic – & it affects life, sleep, dreams, food, health, food, nature etc. Being a small place, each individual patient is cared for by the whole staff and team.
Dr. Ramadas is very knowledgeable and is able to provide very practical but direct advice. Dr. Vinod is highly experienced, cool, and insightful. Dr. Prameela is very kind and caring. The therapists do their best and are very hardworking. The team from cleaning to laundry etc are all very professional. Dr.Ramadas’ bhajans are quite powerful and soothing.
I wish the organization most success in helping people live differently, closer to nature and healthy.
God bless!

Great abode for holistic health! I came to vaidyagramam on “Work from vaidyagramam”. Scheme purely for rejuvenation. After coming here the great team of doctors made me realise how much diseases I carry on my body. They very patiently made me realise the problems and systematically addressed each one of them with great effort and care. Each treatment is personalized and the entire staff made me so special.
I really liked the holistic approach by the doctors ( especially Dr. Ramadas and Dr.Hari), who not only addressed my physical ailments but also the mental and spirutual aspects. Their invaluable advises will keep ringing in my mind always.
Thank you Team vaidyagramam. Special mention should be made about the masseurs , Mr. Santosh , Mr. Rateesh, and resident doctor, Dr. Shyam and Dr Sreeji for utmost care.
Thankyou Dr. Mini and Ms. Aparna for your kind courtesy.
Look forward to seeing you again.

As soon as we entered vaidyagrama we felt at peace. This was a first time for my daughter manavi and me and even though we came for a short time we have benefitted from the treatment immensely especially for my daughter. Dr Ramanandan, Dr. Renjisha, Therapists Bindu, Vidya were absolutely amazing. We loved the Satsang session with Dr Ramkumar. I will definitely attend more activities next time.
Thank you so much !! we will definitely be back

This has been my third vaidyagrama experience. For someone seeking a few weeks of serenity, healing and spiritual discourse need look no further. There is a simplicity here combined with professionalism. The doctors, support staff and therapists are unusually professional. Dr. Ramkumar has woven together a team that is quite efficient.
Fortunately, this is away from the city, which ensures that it is quite and clean. My thanks in particular must go to the team that cared for me this time – Dr.Ramanandan, Dr. Sajna and therapist assigned. Having acknowledged that, everyone is the vaidyagrama family, dedicated and kind.
Thank you!

Dear Vaidyagrama,
Thank you for such a well-rounded holistic experience! I was a part sceptic, but still wanted to wholeheartedly try an alternate medicine and go back to my roots.
Top reasons why this experience is unparalleled:
1. Non-hospital like atmosphere
2. Accessibility of doctors
3. The Satsangs that strive to educate and support healthy living
4. The therapists who at times go over and beyond their primary responsibility to ensure our wellbeing.
Though I am going with some more healing that may be necessary in due course, my energy levels have spiked considerably. Kudos and wishes for vaidyagrama to reach more people.

I spent here almost 20 days. I have been to multiple Ayurvedic establishments. But by far this is the last of all the places I visited. To start with the location in tranquil and serene. Very well designed and spacious dwelling spaces. Amidst nature the location provides that healing touch and very therapeutic.
Compliments to the four founder doctors who had that kind of a vision to provide such healing Centre. The doctors were wonderful ever courteous and caring for the well-being of the patient. My primary objective of coming here is for Detox and Weight Loss. Both my objectives were wonderfully met. I go back rejuvenated energetic and light. Dr Harikrishnan is very soft spoken and quiet deep in his understanding of the Holistic living and interconnectedness of the lifestyle and wellbeing. This interaction was very insightful and calming in nature.
Special mention to Dr Megala for being extremely sincere meticulous and methodical in her follow-up and treatment. She will go a long way in her career. Treatment staff were exceptional. Always punctual, caring and very skilled in rendering the treatment. Being a Connoisseur I may not be able to appreciate of the food, but for sure they were extremely healthy nourishing for sure, if not tasty. Support staff and housekeeping staff were very courteous and extremely sincere in the way they went about doing their jobs. It’s a great culture that has been built. Quite a feat. Knowledge dissemination seniors are highly appreciable. Allows one to build better understanding of the Ayurveda concept.
If at all this in one recommendation I would urge the doctors to build better co relative understanding of the modern-day scientific concepts and the approaches of Ayurveda. Devoid of the latest scientific concepts Sometimes there is an abstractness which is difficult to palliate for souls like me. However, my experience of Detox and rejuvenation were marvellous. For sure it does work. The low part needs better explanation.
If there is one more observation it would be about the excessive dosage of God spiritual and bhajan elements. This being a healthy Centre could do well with lesser religion quotient. Overall, the experience was wonderful. people were warm, friendly, and courteous. Look forward to coming here every year. Thanks to the founders, management, doctors, therapists, and staff for making my stint very pleasant.
Big thank you

First of all my heartfelt thanks to all at vaidyagrama for taking care of my body and mind as always.
It is been a 10 year long journey with Vaidyagrama where I have withered so many wonderful healing. Where I have witnessed so many people being benefitted and made aware of “HOW TO LEAD A HEALTHY LIFE”..
My prayer full good wishes and intensions goes out you all, so that you continue to strive hard to practice what you preach and maintain the authenticity of the value system at any coast. I could like to see vaidyagrama not dilying its value system for any pressure from people or economy and other such factors that how degraded a lot of your concepts and values in authentic ayurveda.
I am sure and confident the vaidyagrama will keep shining as the mist unique healing stars.

We made it back again so soon! Honestly we feel happy, at peace and in safe hands.
I see the difference in my health and specially my mind. Vaidyagrama has made me a better person. The treatments here are nourishing and healing. I take back a lot of love and a fresh perspective each time after seeing other patients and their issues.
I do have a gentle feedback:
If noise can be bit less specially during treatment and after intense treatments when me rest.
We shall be back soon I have a feeling and someday hopefully I want be petrified of the bugs and lizards.
Eternally grateful to all doctors and therapists.
Lots of love to everyone and specially to all the kids and babies of Vaidyagrama.

Being very neglectful of my health I came in with a few issues physically but mentally I was negative too. I always thought having good trades and a respectable job is everything in life but after coming here I realised health is the most important, without having good health a mind will be clouded with a lot of negativities.
Hear after cleansing my body off, all the negativities. I am leaving with a very positive and healthy mind. The Ambience, the people, the healthy diet all constituted in giving us another take on life.
The hospitality that the people here offered was very heart warming and a delightful which always put a smile on my face. They took care of every little thing about us which made us feel cared and loved.
I am so thankful to every single person I met here who gave me a Serotonin high. This was an unforgettable trip and I hope to come back here with my family again.
Thank you for everything

This time, after nearly 2 years of absence, I’ve returned to Vaidyagrama, this oasis of love and peace more than ever it felt like a sanctuary! I was back home! OM
What a relief to find all the familiar faces with their welcoming smiles and smiling eyes right from the reception to the kitchen staff. The three weeks of treatment have been a real treat. Orchestrated by the Master, Dr Ramdas, it has been executed in harmony the supportive team of doctors and very skilled therapists. I felt in very good hands, particularly those of Sreeshma. I’m leaving today with a body finely tuned, a calm mind and a high Spirit counting my blessings and full of gratitude . Thank you all and everyone, including the cooks, the helpers, the cleaning ladies, the gardeners, the admin staff etc.

Dear viadyagrama Family,
I never thought that I would say this but I am going to miss this beautiful place so much I came here nervous, but am going back with a heart full of love and warmth. A BIG THANK YOU to Dr. Prameela who went out of her way to look after me. Seeing her and her son Athreya s joyful faces in the morning is all one needs.
The house keeping was always on time and so helpful. Everything was clean and spotless thanks to them. And Radhika was absolutely perfect with her therapy or taking care of timings and
medications. Shout out to Sooraj too who was always available. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I am definitely come back again. Last but not the least, The doctors who have helped me with their treatment and diagnosis have been excellent Dr. Hari Kumar, Dr. Ramdas and Dr. Vinod and Dr. Prameela. I have been able to learn so much from them and take back key health and life learnings.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS FEEL LIKE HOME! I WILL ALWAYS HAVE THESE MEMORIES ETCHED IN MY HEART.

Well, what can I say! My time has been very positive overall. Today being my last day of a 30 day stay and I have no regrets. The best parts of Vaidgagrama are: -The wonderful doctors, always attentive and ensuring that way issues in health are addressed quickly and effectively. During my stay, I developed an infection, which was treated immediately and my comfort & pain Relief was permanent
-The amazing therapists who delivered day after day and were always (well, nearly always) friendly, smiley and cheerful. Their experienced hands worked wonders and I always come away from my treatments feeling energised!.
– The environment is just perfect for healing. Our surroundings are so important to our halth, and here offers the ability to get close to nature and allows you to swichoff from all the stresses of your life. A perfect place and time to reflect.
-The staff are job.always helpful, always smilings. They work tiredlessly to make your stay the best It can be.
I enjoyed the food, especially on group lunch days and Sundays…. wow the rice on Sunday’s “amazing!!. There were days I got ‘booked’ with the rice porridge…. but ovokall the food was great.
My conversations with DR Ramdas will stay with me when I leave. I will miss our daily) banter.! His wisdom & words gave me food for thought.
The wonderful foot & hand massages will be missed. I did wonder if I could single for out to come with me… but I would probably be arrested for kidnap!!.
– How can I ever forget the treatments…. having
”tea’poured all over me. Sliding around the table like I slippery eel covered in oil! . Whenever I hear the music for mission Impossible I will forever be reminded of these words “side mam “!!!
– I now feel like I rescued stray being released back into the wild after being restored to health!! . It’s a wild world indeed out there… so I hope I can survive!! With the guidance of the doctors the education from the Satsangs (Thank you Dr Ramkumar for putting up with all my questions!!!) and the determination I have found to have a healthier life, I believe I can follow this through!!
definitely won’t miss the Kashayams (although they will be haunting we for the next 2 months!!!).
And I definitely won’t miss the mosquites!! I don’t know how they will survive when I leave…. I seemed to be their staple meal for the past the month!!.
I can’t wait to get out in the sun”!. It’s been teasing me through the trees for the las 4 weeks! I am coming soon…. , I am coming!!
So, overall.. its been close to a stairway to heaven than a highway to hell. !
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone here, for everything you have done for me during my stay! I’m so glad I came When I did because circumstances may prevent me from coming back. I really do hope that Vaidyagrama stays neutral and keeps it’s doors open for everyone… not just certain members of society. This healing is too important to exclude from people.
I will miss you all, but you will always be in my heart. I truely hope I get to see you again.
Love, Peace and Light
