Testimonials 2009

The people are what really make the place, and after spending 3 months at vaidyagrama, I am starting to agree with what others think of Keralites – that they are extra special. Everybody here has been very generous, conscientious, friendly… May this vaidyagrama, Punarnava Ayurveda and all people involved be blessed many times over.
With best regards and deep gratitude
– Ms. Jahnavi, Australia.

It feels like this is just the beginning of a great & purposeful journey on the path of a great tradition.

Thanks Vaidyagrama! Our time here at Vaidyagrama was very restorative and inspiring. We greatly appreciate you and the Vision that is transpiring here. The Ganapati Homam was wonderful and we were pleased to be able to participate in the opening phases of what is sure to be an institution that will benefit many, many people. Your staff is diligent and sincere, and the location is a veritable garden of serenity. Blessings!

When I booked for the diet and nutrition program, little did I know what a massive learning schedule I was getting into! …All I can say is that it is my heartfelt desire that such an environment must grow and grow and really attract true seekers of knowledge….

Namaskar! The Divinity that is you, is the same Divinity that is me. To that, I bow down. I have carried Ayurveda in my suitcase, around the world for 20 years.

May all beings be happy!

Thank you very much for giving me a unique experience of love and care during my four week stay at vaidyagrama. Continue the good work & hope to see vaidyagrama set an example of highest standard in the field of Ayurveda treatments.
–Mr. E. Rajendran, Kuwait.

​I spent 2 weeks receiving treatment at vaidyagrâma. Dr. Ramdas is dedicated and full of warmth, and the therapists are excellent. The treatments were both relaxing and energizing, and all of the treatments were unique cultural experiences which have helped in healing me. Everyone here is very friendly and I have great respect for the environmental and spiritual vision of this place. vaidyagrâma is still a work-in-progress, and a learning process comes to everyone who comes to work and heal here. With the grace of God, vaidyagrâma ‘s laudatory vision will be fulfilled, and I hope that many people will find the healing that they need here through Panchakarma. Good luck to the Doctors, patients, technicians and everyone else who is helping to make this Vision happen!

vaidyagrâma – a village of Doctors – is unique and I am excited to see it develop and grow & sense that the land here is happy to have such sincere people take care of her and may this land also take care of this intentional community. May this grow into the full potential of its vision and be a light shining in this part of the world for all to see and back in its light! Thank you for sharing yourselves with us and for helping us to grow and learn with you!

I have had five weeks of treatments here at vaidyagrama and it has been wonderful and inspiring to become a part of vaidyagrama family and Vision. After so many years of visiting Ayurveda clinics, that just did not quite seem to hold all of this wonderful science’s wisdom completely, I feel have found somewhere which, with a little more time and development, will come together in the most beautiful possible way. The world will be gifted with a gem of a clinic – my search is over. So many thanks to Dr. Ramadas and all the staff here. I will be back…
– Ms. KateTowsey, London.

vaidyagrāma – this is a place of Vision with the true spirit to heal, for the well-being of humanity, and with the undiluted philosophy of the science of Ayurveda and a balanced sense of ecology still in place here. Has great atmosphere with constant cheerfulness and kindness of everybody at all times. The aesthetics and greenery outside is truly sustaining. I am sure many people will benefit from the great depth of knowledge of all the Doctors, the experience of the Therapists and the spirit of the staff. I am truly grateful for all that I have received and looking forward to a long continued relationship with this institution and with the best wishes towards its completion..

The ultimate wisdom which deals with beginnings, remains locked in a seed. There it lies, the simplest fact of the universe, and at the same time the one which calls faith rather than reason.
