Thank you to all the staff, therapists and doctors for their genuine care, knowledge and kindness. Angels on Earth. I felt at home the instant I arrived. The energy of the space felt nurturing and supportive…it still does….
The activities – talks, prayers, poojas, group dinner were all welcomed too and I enjoyed meeting lovely guests on the path of healing and spiritual practice.

It has been long overdue but I am very happy to have finally made it to vaidyagrama. I had expected the treatments to be excellent as they were, but what was really lovely to see was the sense of community you feel part of at vaidyagrama. The guest services was superb with the team here incredibly warm without exception. I am very grateful to all the team, the doctors and all those I did not see but who work quietly behind the scenes to make it all happen for us. I wish vaidyagrama all the very best and really looking forward to seeing the community grow.
All the best

My experience at vaidyagrama has given me a refreshing new outlook on healing. The doctors were kind and attentive throughout my whole stay. Problems that I had consulted doctors at home without receiving any answers were suddenly understood and treated. To have them connect the dots of symptoms instantly shocked me. The expectation that I would come and have changes seen was not only achieved, it was surmounted.
I never believed that my condition could be cured through herbs and oils..but it has! I have been at vaidyagrama for only 10 days and have begun to see dramatic changes. Thank you to my wonderful team of doctors and my amazing therapist Unnimaya. Thank you for bringing me my food/medicine and giving me extraordinary treatments and many more kind and helpful services. To Unnimaya you have been the most gentle and attentive massage therapist I’ve ever had. Thank you for making my stay so relaxing and enjoyable.
Many thanks to the whole vaidyagrama community

Vaidyagrama was unexpected. From the moment I arrived I felt a welcoming energy and this stayed throughout my treatment. Each day passed in a relaxed bliss and while I did my best to follow Dr.Ramadas’s instructions to rest I did appreciate the interactions with other patients. I loved the satsangs and prayers which marked each day, most of all I loved the doctors, therapists and staff – always cheerful, caring and smiling. I will leave a little of my heart here. Now as I leave, I am feeling the benefits of the treatments. I will miss these beautiful treatment beautifully administered by the therapists. I wish vaidyagrama an auspicious year ahead particularly with the conference in December and all the projects currently in development. I so look forward to returning.
With love and gratitude

Though my stay was only for 5 days, these were unforgettable days. Reminded me so much of my childhood days in a “tharavadu”. This is a tharavadu of loving people. You don’t feel you are being “treated” but you are being loved and cared for by the doctors and staff. The atmosphere is so refreshing and calm and peaceful and very close to nature. No wonder my son comes back every year!!
Thank you all..it is a long list to write all the names.
Thank you

Thank you for a wonderful healing experience. Our five weeks at vaidyagrama has been a rollercoaster of an adventure beyond what we imagined!!! Everybody has been so kind, caring and dedicated to helping us get well – on all levels. Special thank you to Drs.Ramanandan, Sajna and Prasad for their kindness, patience and humour; to Unnimaya for her gentleness, giggles and beautiful smile; to Chitra for her warmth, lovely musical walk and for teaching us Tamil (nandri!) – and to all the other staff who have looked after us so well.
And of course, thank you to Dr.Ramkumar for his generosity and support.
With our love and best wishes

It has been truly magical to spend few weeks here to be a patient and have a quiet time – thank you all so much for making this healing place and to have built such a beautiful community. Special thank you to Dr.Ramadas and his team for wonderful care and support provided to me. I’ve enjoyed all the chats with Dr.Ramadas and cant thank him enough for his patience. I must have been a really annoying patient – wanting to know everything, have so many questions. Dr.Aruna and Devaki were also loving and making sure I am comfortable. I will miss all the satsangs, pujas and weekly activities but feel so good knowing that I will be back again soon.
With lots of love

Vanakkam! This is my 2nd visit to vaidyagrama. The place has physically grown and expanded and the commitment to healing – both mind and body – extraordinary. If there is one place where ordinary people can do extraordinary things – it must be in vaidyagrama.
It was a smooth 16 days and the coming together of healing, experience, knowledge and Ayurveda sciences and practice and personal friendliness.
The satsang is a great place to learn and share ideas.
A distinguishing character of vaidyagrama is the exemplary commitment of doctors, therapists, support staff to make the healing more easy.
To the staff of vaidyagrama – it was a blessing to be here and thanks for making it worthwhile

As I am myself an Ayurvedic doctor for more than 20 years, it was the best decision to come to this unique place to undergo Panchakarma.
This century is very loud, in constant turmoil and agitation, so it is a blessing to be here and find inner peace and cleansing from all rubbish – physical and mental. The doctors and the staff are really very open hearted, caring and full of love. They are living examples of bhakti.
I wish you all and vaidyagrama to sustain through all these difficult times, to stay a retreat for “other civilized refugees” from all countries.
I will be back for sure!
With warm wishes to you all

Vaidyagrama just keeps getting better. This is my 4th visit and my respect and admiration for this wonderful space just keeps growing. Because most people who come here are by word of mouth, there is a genuine feeling of family and interconnectedness. Lovely!
I am grateful to each and every staff member for their kind and loving attention. It is clear that everyone who works here appreciates where they are.
The vision of Dr.Ramkumarji is so inspiring; to establish a healing village, a children’s home, a retirement village, holistic with its organic gardens, daily prayers and amazing pujas.
Special thanks to my doctors, Dr.Harikrishnan and Dr.Haritha for their expertise and fussing over me! Lakshmi, who seems never to cease moving from massages to meal, tea and medicine delivery, always maintains such a cheerful disposition. She deserves a medal; once again thank you vaidyagrama.
Cant leave without praising Dr.Omprakash’s effervescent personality, his cheerful optimism is simply delightful. Dr.Ramadas’s morning and evening prayer sessions are part of the healing that takes place here…again thank you for the health, peace and love that you spread.
Always love from Rose….OMG, how could I forget all those “behind the scenes”; Aparnaji keeping the matrix together, Sonia, Hakeem, Geetha and Kavitha, the kitchen crew and housekeeping – all add up to the wonderful experience that is vaidyagrama.

This is my 2nd trip back to vaidyagrama after 5 years and I am very pleased to see that it has progressed beautifully and truly to the founder’s vision.
I would like to thank Dr.Ramanandan and Dr.Prasad for their dedication and loving care. And of course, to my therapists, Achu, Sashi and Chinnu and all the other “invisible” staff who made my stay very comfortable.
Special thanks to Dr.Ramanandan for his sense of “humor” and strict adherence to the treatments which was very beneficial.
I wish vaidyagrama and its staff continued success with their unique healing skills of tender loving care always.
Warm regards

Dear vaidyagrama
I have not, in all of my adult life, felt so good about doing nothing! All of my needs were amply taken care of by your wonderful doctors and staff. I have, at times, completely forgotten the so-called worries of my life and wished that I had booked for the full Panchakarma treatment – next time!
A special thank you to Sasikala, my kind therapist, who sometimes had to look for around the campus to take me for my treatment. Many times, I felt like going to sleep on the table.
The overall vibration and feeling of vaidyagrama is one of nature and community. The placement of plants, herbs and trees between the apartment blocks and the walkways around the campus made for a very pleasing aesthetic and a way to get around campus without muddy feet or sunburn.
The highlight must surely be the Saturn puja on my first day. So rich, colourful and awe-inspiring. There would not be many places in the West where a young boy can chant ancient Vedas and then next ben seen with a mobile phone filming the pooja in a t-shirt and dhoti.
I will be back some time in the future, but time for longer. I will check on the hibiscus tree that I planted (another great initiative).
Perhaps, as a suggestion, there could be more types of orientation at the start of a stay or if not a campus layout diagram showing where the office, temples and other landmarks are located. I did not know where and when activities were held until the 2nd day into my stay when I was given the missing timetable / schedule and ventured out after my day inside to overcome travel fatigue. Just a small observation.
Finally a big thank you to Aparna at the office who made this all happen and dealt promptly and fully with all the dumb and not-so-dumb questions; as well as my paranoia about arriving at 11pm alone in Coimbatore! Thank you Aparna – you are truly a pearl of great price!

Although this will sound a bizzarely naïve thing to say, Panchakarma has been for me a much more challenging experience than I expected it to be – at least challenging in ways I didn’t anticipate. Though in retrospect, of course, it makes perfect sense that I faced the challenges I did. I feel I have been confronted with my own mind and reminded of how much work there still needs to be done. In particular, I need to improve the focus and concentration of my mind – to go back to basics with a certain amount of trepidation at the amount of work to be done! Still, now that the jumbled tangle of ugly feelings has resolved itself (shirodhara was particularly tough for me!), I am leaving vaidyagrama with a deeply felt sense of joy and gratitude.
Vaidyagrama is a very special place, and I have often been moved by the attention to detail that is manifest everywhere. Every single aspect of the environment, the points of interaction between staff, patients and doctors/therapists has been thought through very carefully, and organized around maximum space/opportunity, for the patient to rest thoroughly and to focus within. I arrived at vaidyagrama believing that the most important part of the process would be the treatment and the herbs, but leave with the knowledge that it is just as much, if not more, about creating a healing space within. The care that has gone into the design of the compound – the layout of the rooms, the peaceful covered walkways – is an ever present visual reminder of the space that I need to create within.
I have been particularly impressed with the effort that has gone into taking care of the vaidyagrama staff. In particular, the fact that all staff, including the housekeeping and gardening staff, are included in the daily staff meeting, as well as the fact that the committee that manages the emergency fund (made up of 20% of any tips left by patients) is managed by the staff themselves. There is a very egalitarian spirit of vaidyagrama which is a real accomplishment in this day and age of commerce driven transactions.
One of the reasons I chose vaidyagrama was because of the many ways it has been integrated into the local community. In my view, the many community projects eg. The school, the education, the community lunches, free treatment for the local villagers etc. was testament to the seriousness and integrity with which Ayurveda principles are taken here at vaidyagrama. It is testament to the authenticity of the vision and the devotion of the doctors who have created this healing village.
Lastly I would like to thank my doctors, Dr.Ramanandan and Dr.Prasad, for their care and thoughtfulness. An extra special thanks to Dr.Ramanandan who went out of his way to give me the time I needed (often unfortunately to complain or give vent to difficult feelings) – I may not always have been the easiest of patients!
With love and gratitude to all at vaidyagrama.
Hope to see you again soon.

Dear Vaidyagrama
This is my first contact with Ayurveda and Panchakarma and your deep intuitive knowledge and gentle guidance allowed me to sink deeply into this process of shedding layer after layer of unnecessary buffers.
This process was both challenging and easeful – helped greatly by the love, patience and commitment of both doctors and therapists (and the rest of the wonderful staff). Sometimes one smile can transform a day.
Vaidyagrama is a sanctuary for body, soul and mind.
Thank you all for your heartfelt commitment, your unerring determination and your sweet surrender into this BIG VISION of vaidyagrama. Special thanks to my doctors Dr.Ramadas and Dr.Harikumar for their patience, kindness and helping hand on my adventurous journey of Panchakarma.
Based on my experiences here, I have a few suggestions –
Soft padding for treatment table
Room numbers / names – site map in the visitors’ kit
Alternating yoganidra programs (not the same)
Pantry doors should be closed while it is worked in, especially in early mornings
Onsite / oncall counselor available, with understanding of western mind / psyche to help through the emotional / mental turbulence
Simpler wifi procedures (one access code prepaid for whole stay)
Booking confirmation/contract with summary of terms/conditions after prepayment is received
Proper earplugs for shirodhara; the noise around is too disturbing (for me)
With love

Thank you for all your kindness and caring! I became de-hydrated and had laxative. I kept feeling misery with physical body, and my mind kept being in agitated state by sharing room with person who have different conscious level. As I have much worry to leave here with weak body condition and unsolved emotions, I believe my struggling experience here would bring the key to open the new door. Here Panchakarma remove ignorance of my mind. Next time, I would like to have a course with active participation to surrender.
I appreciate all of you to sustain this environment.

My special love, gratitude and thanks to Dr.Ramadasji and Harikrishnanji who helped me through my roughest times. They not only took care of me physically but also healed my mind and soul. They have given me tools to use for the rest of my life.
There are so many miracles and life changing shifts that I experienced that I will later write in an email form. As I leave, my heart is learning to love and trust life. My deepest gratitude to Dr.Ramadas and Dr.Harikrishnan. May God bless you with all that you need

The vision that drives all that you do here is truly inspirational and much needed in our world.
The values that you aspire to on a daily basis are demanding and great reflection of the generosity of spirit alive within you all. It is who you are being day in and day yout that distinguishes you far beyond what you do with great love and skill.
Thank you for your gifts

First of all, I have to express my deepest gratitude to all vaidyagrama because from 2011, when I spent my first 6 weeks here, my health greatly improved.
It is nice to come again and see vaidyagrama fully built and full of trees and healing plants.
One important thing where I see some room for improvement are therapies. Therapists, which I experienced this time (6-7 of them) were untrained, inexperienced and unfocussed. So it felt more like modeling in a massage school where girls just heard about treatments, and now they are trying it for the first time, than having an Ayurveda treatment.
My very special thanks to Dr.Ramanandan and his team, for tolerating my impatience, my mood switches, and all misunderstandings my agitated mind has produced.
Lots of love and see you again

I have returned to vaidyagrama after 5 years, and am amazed to see how it has grown, prospered and developed into a true healing centre. The dedication of the doctors, treatment staff, house-cleaning personnel and the gardeners, and all others, is evident in the smooth running of the village. The detailed attention to my healing programme has given me a new zest for wellness and the need to look after my health.
Dr.Ramkumar, as always, has been a pillar of support. Dr.Ramadas has been available for me whenever I needed him. My doctors, Dr.Ramanandan and Dr.Prasad have looked after me with great care and attention. Dr.Ramanandan, in particular, has completely understood all my problems and made me realize that I need Ayurveda in my life, in order to keep well and age without complications.
Inshallah, I shall be back for further treatment as the need arises.
Thank you one and all

I was truly inspired with the founder’s vision and the way they have naturalized it so far.
This space is truly special from the way it was built, the practices that are taken place and the vision for the future.
A true healing place.
I would warmly recommend it to anyone who wishes to better themselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Thank you all for making my stay and my healing experience here such a blissful event.

There is so much to say in gratitude and admiration for what is being created here. It is clear from the stories that have been shared in satang by Dr.Ramkumar that, with patience and determination, Vaidyagrama is evolving with each passing month – and yet the services to each patient feel very stable and personal.
I am leaving here as an “Advocate” for the multiple missions, not just the healing eco-village but the core of charitable work being undertaken in parallel.
I am especially grateful to Dr. Omprakash and Dr.Harikrishnan, they both have a wealth of knowledge and made it possible for me to relax and let myself be cared for. My primary therapists were indu and lakshmi, each have their unique strength.
Lakshmi took especially deep care of me, whether walking me at dawn to drink the bitter kashayam, delivering food, water etc or most especially during oil massage. She is a gem.
The plant walks by Dr.Om were a highlight for me along with cooking, other satsang subjects.
Dr.Ramadas did most of the 5.30 lectures he is so clearly loves ayurveda. They were appreciated.
In my weeks Dr.Ramkumar was available for several 2.45 pm sessions per week each one of these was so valuable, in either Vedic knowledge or information about both the punarnava trust and eco-village project.
This place has been launched with so little ego and so much focused on the long term and legacy.
It will out-last any founder or individual contributor (It brings to mind Pondicherry Sri Aurobindo which has proven lasting power)
As others have rightly noted, Aparna is so Key! She is the major conduit, smooth intake and outgoing, amazing.
Geetha is stepping up to drive the activities of the trust. Impressive. Hakeem, Keerthy, Sajana, kavitha all cheerful, patient, accommodative. Even my room cleaners are so helpful especially chitra.
I appreciated these women, the gardeners so much.
I totally trust the evolution here because the healing village was set in motion with right actions, clear intention and trust in god.
Thus I have no “needs improvements”, comments accept one.
Birds lizards and insects brings such delights, and for some patients so do the dogs and cats.
Many of us miss the pets from home for we are involved in human animal care back home.
I would like all animals at vaidyagrama to be viewed as “no accident”. If this is perfect and that is perfect (Poornamada poornamida), that too must be embraced as part of nature here and part of therapy here.
They should receive proper animal food and proper natural vet care. There should be sprayed or neutered – but if more arrive in the village through whatever cause or means they too need to be embraced or dealt with, even if only to get them properly adopted elsewhere.
Since vaidyagrama is evolving as an international and multinational community, the common minimums, if not higher, must be applied to all domestic animals –even the “stray”.
Those animal cat and dogs that are loving and therapeutic in nature can be available to those of us who thrive on the humility and unconditional isha bhava that these animals embody! With that I rest my pen. Except to close with the most sincere prayers and blessing for all of the affairs, activity, charity and healing powers of punarnava trust to grow and prosper.
May all beings in all worlds be happy!
Love and light

I will be brief, as my stay was a very short one. I want to thank every single person involved in contributing on the efforts on all levels. I would like to personally thank my doctor Harikrishnan for being so kind and compassionate. It goes a long way…… The therapist Jameela, what can I say… I love you Mamma! Your healing touch and loving heart……. Srilakshmi thank you and don’t give up.
Dr.Om – Thank you for taking care of every single thing. Don’t think I and others are not aware of what you do, I appreciate you very much! Dr.Ramadas – Thank you for the talks and your great voice.
Ramkumar … thank you for all your efforts and being the face of the organization. You have a wonderful one. Last but not least Aparna thank you so much for your kindness and loving heart and being very helpful, I appreciate you too! To b continued……..
Love and light always!

I have a very positive experience here in vaidyagrama. Doctors, therapists and all the staffs here are very friendly and caring and even though guest who are coming for their own healing.
I enjoyed Doctors daily visit. They are very wonderful…… Listening how I feel and my concerns everyday and answering my questions.
Thank you Dr.Om and Dr.Harikirshnan……
I also enjoyed the daily activities as well, the satsang (Learning ayurveda through food and yogic philosophy) and cooking classes.
They are very helpful knowledge to bring back with me. Finally I started to enjoy the food here more and more!!!!!!
I also learnt and enjoyed the quietness with myself. The environment in Vaidyagrama provides me a stillness and quietness in the mind, that I could not have it in the city.
I have a feeling that this will be a lifelong relationship.
I appreciated it that I had this fortune to be here. I wish for the prosperity of Vaidyagrama.

Many thanks to Vaidyagrama, it’s wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable staff and its profound concept of healing environment
It is very impressive how the initial Idea of the healing village – a very special healing place is materialized now despite of multiple challenges and now people from all around the world are coming here when they leave I believe they are not just rejuvenated yet with the Paradigm shift within which brings them back to harmony.
I will be sharing my experience with all my family and friends so some knowledge will be conveyed for them and hopefully will shift some of them too- which is a first step on the road to harmony
Thank you all and all the best Harmonious and prosperous life to Vaidyagrama as a whole, punarnava trust, which is doing so many great things for the community and most of all to all fantastic people here – doctors Therapist, entire support staff who are doing a great job behind the scenes.

I arrived 12th Feb full of hope and anticipation and with an open mind, but by the fourth day I was ready to call it quits as I just could not adjust to the heat, but gradually I settled into the rhythm of vaidyagrama.
The perspective changed and entered into a happier mood, having made friends and getting to know the staff that not only welcomed with open arms, but bonded beautifully.
Five weeks have finally come to an end but I leave with a sad heart for being behind a team of dedicated doctors, therapist and general staff. Shubha brightened my early mornings with her cheerful smile & literally forcing down medicines into my mouth.
Dr.Om prakash for his zeal, enthusiasm and infectious spirit – dispelling my initial homesickness & egging me on to be happy – he will make a truly wonderful doctor with his passion for everything – big or small! I am extremely grateful to Dr Harikrishnan for his warmth and patience with my incessant chatter & quiet ribbing.
So I leave today, full of hope and a big thank you from the bottom of my heart – my gratitude and love to everybody at vaidyagrama.
God bless you.

I was here for 15days much of the time I would say was getting in as well as recovery from a persistent cold, but am leaving feeling lighter brighter more hopeful and more at peace. Next time I would stay longer, I realize two weeks is not enough.
I will miss the lovely spirit of this community and its lovely people from Sumaty who cleaned my room so beautifully in the morning and smoked and cooled the verandah with water in the late afternoon to delivery of drinks and food to the cooks (who I never had pleasure to meet) To the therapists and in particular to Devaky whose firm hands and warm words were balm.
My deep gratitude to the Doctors Aruna and Ramadas so caring and patience.
I leave with the good advice taken to heart

4 weeks ago I came here with a heavy back pack, full of troubles desperateness and disorders.
However as I was empathy of my doctors and kindness of all people working here help me to calm down.
So here in vaidyagrama I have not got only this wonderful pretty simple food and the treatment selected with caution aligned to my special needs.
But also I was deeply nourished in all areas of my being
Thanks your help I am leaving now full of light, hope, energy and courage to face life.
Words fail me to express my deep gratitude to all of you so I just say thanks a lot
All the best for all of you

There is much I can write, though only here for five days, I have gained and grown and appreciate the grace bestowed upon me.
I am on a special yatra and being in this place is important for the journey. Yatra is not for myself alone but to receive to give to all those in our family Sangham to the poor, sick and elderly.
It is said is our Sadhana to have strength wisdom, compassion and love and this is the reflection of vaidyagrama.
The cooks, gardeners, trainees, Therapists, doctors, administrators, you are all great beings, My love and blessing to you all, Your family, community, last time here I was in turmoil and given me a tolerance and understanding, now I am in a deeper peace of love and comfort, again my words cannot express the gratitude only my sad guru bhagwan Nityananda and sai baba.
May God bless you all and with grace we may meet again this life time

My dear family at Vaidyagrama
18 days complete as I depart tomorrow… I came to Vaidyagrama with an open heart and mind knowing close to nothing about ayurveda. I leave with a full Heart and a great sense of well being.
The passion with which this place is run is palpable from Dr. Ramkumar to all his Incredible fellow doctors, assistant doctors, to Therapists, to cooks, to cleaners, to the gardeners – each one has a sense of ownership – an unusual sense of giving which one rarely encounters in the modern world.
Vaidyagrama has three things which keep its engine running
1. A great amount of caring
2. Immense intelligence
3. An abundance of love
So many times I thank you for your mere existence
I would like to acknowledge the few that I had a constant personal support with –
Dr. Ramanandan – accurate and precise analysis, a pleasure to listen to
Dr. Sajna – deceivingly young but so knowledgeable and strict
Radhika – who has got god’s hands when she lays them on you
Chinnu – sweet assistant therapist who will be one day great under the support of her mentors
My Cleaning lady who diligently attended to my room while I would be in treatment
Dr Ramadas – the divine among us all who became a friend and
Dr.Om – was such a fountain of knowledge every time he opened his mouth ..
And doctor Ramkumar – words fail me to describe you…
Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Vaidyagrama is such a gem! A rare jewel in ayurveda.
I am so grateful for the loving care of everyone I worked with and the staff in general – what an amazing family. Everyone who works here is continuously blessed. Will be exciting to witness everything that grows here:
The gardens
The facilities
Relationships
Community projects
ALL OF IT!
It’s truly a dream comes true.
All of my love and gratitude!

Vaidyagrama is like my second home. I am so comfortable and happy here. Even at home one is not looked after and cared for as we are in vaidyagrama.
The doctors, the therapists and all the other staff are so full of attention and caring.
Dr.Ramadas who is so positive and happy always sets a great example. I took my time to hear the satsang by Dr.Ramkumar which is the highlight of the day, the puja all the positive energy around vaidyagrama makes it a happy, healing place.
The cleaning staff always smiling and doing a great job under the guidance of Hakeem. Dr.Om Dr.Harikumar all have made my stay memorable. Keerthi helped us learn a lot on our ipad and Iphone.
Thank you everyone

This is my third visit and I am amazed at how this oasis in the desert has blossomed.
As usual I have had an amazing, productive, fruitful stay.
I cannot thank the attentive doctors and staff. They have made me feel so welcome, calm, comfortable at all times.
I am in deep gratitude to all of them and look forward to many more enlightening trips to vaidyagrama.
Thank you

My heart is smiling again
I had stopped smiling and feeling alive. My aura is pulsating again
I had stopped changing people’s life. My joy had been absent for many years. I can make love with heaven again, because my soul can see an infinite array of possibilities in my journey.
It may seem egoistic but my words have awakened the desire to continue serving humanity I felt dead before March 26 2015 …
Vaidyagrama staffs, therapists, birds, squirrels, agnihotra, pooja, wood massage table, incense, night nature sounds, rain, heat, ghee, green gram Kanji, dosha, coconut curry, herbal water, annoying Internet system, mosquitoes, Satsang, many different smiles every day, chapatti that I couldn’t eat, butter milk, cow’s smell, rose flowers shower, dum, the smoke and anything else has changed my life for the better.. I’m just another grateful being who was blessed with such an experience.
Healing process is almost never pleasant but I am happy I can project in my smile how happy my body is: It feels open doors to the path of becoming whole again
There is no greater feeling than knowing we have helped someone to be happy again. I’m happy again and I will come back again and learn to love much more all those who had shared a smile during my journey at Vaidyagrama…
With deep gratitude love and compassion

Dear all at Vaidyagrama
This is a prayer as much as a thank you and a wish –
may this space grow and nourish those who daily give so much energy, and also offer care, their care;
may this space of care grow and multiply incrementally, organically, but also towards infinity;
may this force of care attract others who care to let themselves be cared to continue caring;
may this space and the energies which animate to nourish all and;
may that spirit of care, which is a spirit of a common and being and becoming with flower further;
let it always stay concentrated on this horizon of withdrawing from the community of money, which has so much compromised the consciousness and ethics (not just standards, norms, customs but also the way of life is used, lived, undergone, experienced) of humans and which has dulled the senses of such a point that even those who are able, and have their faculties determine life not “worth living” this is what accounting minos have done, made as book keepers of life.
Here we have found a place to turn the tables, lay down, one the back to the left, and right, to get these toxins out, the same which are put in our foods, in the earth, in the air and water and may be first and foremost in the minds, what comes after? This remains a task for each of us who come here.
For now the semblance of exchange, with the use of money may still allow all of us to not receive what is actually unfolding here or wants to unfold here.
It is love, a love which is very difficult to apprehend because it emanates from and goes toward the common, that which conjoins us to one another and to all forms of life.
May this space and each of the living community of vaidyagrama keep and remain in this grace and spirit of love and of the profound conjoinedness, being-with-ness and to continue the experiment, experience to amplify that in our lives and with others.
What is a life and what is a body, what can a body do, how can it be used and conjoinedness force, potency care is it able to do more than reproduce, collect, circulate money, make money, strange idea to make money, what is it to make a body, a community, a love, a life, a cure, a care or a carelessness.
We must be careful here to perceive this care which comes from within and without us, nevertheless carries us, this is what I am, we are, may be you could call the common.
The common must be cared for because that is what I find here, that is what brings to us any ancient common non-commoditised knowledge such as ayurveda and it is what equally nourishes, waters, blows the wind on the plants, foods we nourish ourselves on. Without it life would not be liveable.
This prayer or wish is to allow and let this force and passion continue and flourish and not be discouraged in difficult movements and to also always find the joy in what you do and the care with which you cultivate this space and your own lives.
And also a prayer for those who pass through this place to also be touched by this spirit of a common and to recognise within their own lives how they may create a path toward that place, that place which, where, when counting makes no sense. We have had enough of this world of counts and accounts; they have made the world senseless. Thank you each and every one person at vaidyagrama for returning us to our senses (our common senses)
With love

Words are not enough to express the experiences at vaidyagrama. It takes us back to those pure Satya yug times when peace, love, caring, sharing of knowledge and ecological existence were all pervasive. From Morning prayers and pranayama, healing treatment by very caring therapists – jameela, lakshmi have shown vatsalya bhav, while shrilakshmi, young rural Non-corrupt girl with her great seva bhav, simple and nourishing food, soul nourishing and heart enriching Satsangs with Dr.Ramkumar and Dr.Ramadas, evening prayers with Dr.Ramadas, Dr.Harikumar and Dr.Omprakash have all been healing me at many levels.
Geetha and kavitha have been very supportive. All the housekeeping staff – Baby, Devi and others have made sure we get homely and comfortable feel in the room.
Vaidyagrama has lived true to every word that is written on their website or in the booklet. In fact it has much more in subtle and energy from which is difficult to express. The healing trees, birds, people, medicines, treatments every aspect here is an integral integrated spiritual web.
The founders have beautifully re-created ancient Vedic rishi Sanskrit. My gratitude and pranams to all.
Dr.Harikrishnan’s diagnosis and guidance throughout has been a wonderful healing. Dr.Omprakash and Dr.Haritha’s youthful energy has been very refreshing.
All Satsangs have made me very nourished.

The Vaidyagrama is really true according to its name. I feeling here everything and everybody are systematic. I would like to thank to each one who any at post and activities because all one serve by heart. Here all people just live like family members. It is very nice situation. Here at vaidyagrama we stayed 24 days, But this time so fast passed as I feeling. I have feel here just like an ashram also because here at vaidyagrama a SHIVLING is saturated and every morning and evening somebody one worships. So the internal and external atmosphere is very very best. This is plus point of vaidyagrama
I like, we like by heart really the VAIDYAGRAMA.

I was not scheduled to come to vaidyagrama, however since my daughter who lives in Mauritius and my wife rasheeda had confirmed their 3 weeks stay of vaidyagrama, I decided at the last moment to join them. Now i have decided to leave after 2 weeks treatment, as unfortunately I am deeply depressed here, Even though I am with my loved ones.
Food does not bother me as I hardly have my appetite.
I think I have lost a few kilos in weight which is good and feel much lighter.
Since coming here I have been crying a lot everyday as I said earlier is terribly depressed.
I can hardly sleep at night in fact in two weeks and have had only one night good sleep.
The various treatments are unique, such as shirodhara, the accommodation is very basic but very comfortable.
For me to pass the time of day is very difficult. Besides reading the newspaper and books and also playing cards with my family in the evenings there is little else to do.
Walking is a must and there are good path to walk among the trees surrounding the path.
A lot of people have benefited from this treatment and there are several lectures given by doctors, which I attended.

Thank you
I came not with any specific ailment but to get some time to myself to spend time with my wife in an environment she enjoyed so I came mildly apprehensive and leave as reliever.
I have been trying to understand what makes vaidyagrama so different so special. It adheres to the ancient texts it tries to remain authentic as possible it is built around a core group of people with the same strong beliefs, but what it achieves eventually is a whole much greater than the sum of its parts.
It has created an environment where everybody plays their part big or small, which makes it such a special experience for the patient and that include the cows, tiger and Pluto and the dog who first comfort
I thank –
Dr.Ramadas for looking after me, for his humour, his satsang and for his wonderful sonorous pujas
Dr.Harikumar for his compassion as a doctor and at the pujas
Dr.Ramanandan for his explanations and laughing
Dr.Om for all his knowledge, generosity of spirit and omnipresence and
Dr.Ramkumar for the knowledge filled satsang and his vision – may it grows beautifully.
I also want to thank everybody else the therapists, the cooks, the support staff, everybody who makes this wonderful place wonderful and who contribute immeasurably towards their unique energy that is vaidyagrama.
I look forward to returning.

It has been a very special time at vaidyagrama on so many levels.
I came here 45 days ago feeling dead to the world but now I feel alive and inspired to re-engage with my life.
I am incredibly grateful for all the love care and patience I was given by all the people that cared for and interacted with me.
The space is beautifully situated in simplicity with nature down to the humming bird that visited me every day.
What is being created here is quite remarkable a true ayurveda community with large vision. What is even more impressive are the people that manifested and run this place with heartfelt, dedication and the willingness to evolve and grow with vaidyagrama/punarnava, because grow it will into something amazing.

There is a saying: All the good things are three
I whole heartedly agree in terms of vaidyagrama
1. The emphasis on the spiritual in the healing process.
2. Doctors and therapists who seemingly know what they are doing.
3. Love goes through the stance with an extraordinary good and clean food.
I would not consider my time pleasant, because my body went through a challenging period and there were times, when I just felt like a vegetable on two legs.
Nevertheless, my spirit was lifted again and again through the certitude from the doctors and the treatments of the therapists and the love from the kitchen staff through their food.
All the three main ingredients mixed with humour, laughter and the unique Indian smiles accompanied through entertaining satang and powerful prayers and pujas created a perfect healing environment in the midst of all smaller imperfections. I am looking forward to see the unfolding of my healing process back home, full of conviction that it will happen.
Special thanks to the unconventional and deep caring and humour of Dr.Ramadas, the patience of Dr.Aruna and the great treatments of Ganesh and Madhu. Also to Aparna for her unusual helpfulness and Dr.Ramkumar for the great exchange.
In Deep gratitude

My heartful gratitude to each and every one person dedicated to vaidyagrama for it is your combined work that made my journey here an exceptional one.
I came cluttered in mind and depleted in spirit and leave lighter and better equipped and face my destiny.
Vaidyagrama very quickly turned into a spiritual retreat for me and I thank everyone I encountered during my stay here for your contribution towards it.
Importantly I must thank my teachers:
Dr.Ramdas for your wisdom and example of living life with forthright clarity.
Dr.Harikumar for your exemplary trust in the divine and
Dr.Ramkumar for your articulate delivery of complex philosophical thought.
Each of you were essential teachers and I leave rejuvenated and enriched.
I pray with gratitude for the well being of each person involved in vaidyagrama from the driver who brought me here through to all the doctors, therapists, the gentle ladies who cleaned our room, the cooks, the laundry people, the gardeners, the admin staff and others who work tirelessly behind the scenes.
God bless you all.
I wish you well in all your endeavour.
With many thank from a well lubricated and nurtured soul

Also thank you to the kittens and dog who despite being forbidden fussy friends did add to that and Pluto with their wagging tail and playful antics.
Some days very much enjoyed their visits and I do hope that Vaidyagrama adopts them officially by giving them the veterinary care and food necessary.
After all they are also part of what happens serendipitously not really Strays ,sincerely their arrival cannot be ignored.
They certainly add to the healing environment.
I am in awe with all your community and environmental projects what an example you’re setting for the world.
Dr. Ramkumar what a visionary and what an inspiration -still much too fine time
-yet with such a vision is much vision so much care, sensitivity and love
-living spirituality not just in words how can it not grow.
Many many thanks from my body, my heart, and my mind.
Forget to mention Hakeem and Manoj too for fixing doors and that supply of soap nut liquid! What an experience.
And also how could I forget my first estherji Namaskar email reply from Aparnaji and then you.
Aparnaji trying to track down my lost money transfer night to the last day:
Oh my god and then there is a Remaji and Geethaji so many others goodness.
If I have left you out it is not because you mean less!
It is late now and I must get some sleep.
Much love always and may you always all be happy, plants and legged and feathered friends alike.
I hidden life, vibrant in every atom.
I hidden light shining in every creative.
I hidden love, embracing all in oneness.
May each who feels himself as one with thee
Know he is therefore one with every other.

Vaidyagrama steers the patient on a very tight course through the Ayurveda treatment process .
While this was very challenging for us, the restrictions ultimately gave me the freedom to experience surrendering to ‘what is’.
The physical benefits that I feel within give way to a profound change in attitude and strengthening of my spirit.
I go away forever changed and deeply grateful to all the staff and the residence for their joyful and compassionate service.
Vaidyagrama will always be in my heart and I wish you all the power and courage to continue on with your vision of the world.

I got to hear about Vaidyagrama from a friend and I called them the next day and came over in a few days. I was a little apprehensive but once I got here I knew I had come to my “soul” space.

A week into therapy under Dr.Ramadas and Dr.Harikumar, when I spoke to my husband he said I sounded very calm and at peace. I was.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart of piece of which I am leaving behind.

What does one call a place which one visits year after year for no particular reason? What does one do at a place built as a place of treatment, when you have no real disease to be treated. The answer lies in the attraction provided by an isolated village on the Rottigondanur road off the Coimbatore, Palakkad Highway
This exciting Village has taken place on the map as a unique healing center. Vaidyagrama was unknown 7 years ago. But thanks to the vision and undoubtful efforts of one remarkable vaidya Dr Ramkumar, this has become one of the leading Ayurvedic centres of the world devoted to the practice of traditional ayurveda. A galaxy of remarkable doctors like Dr Harikumar, Dr Harikrishnan, Dr.Ramdas Dr. Ramanandan and juniors like Dr.Om, Dr.Sajna, Dr.Haritha have brought colours to great tradition.
My wife and I have come to this place six times already, each time enjoying more than the previous occasion.. there is something unique about the tranguil rows of modern cottages to the greenery, the well laid out Gardens of medicinal plants and trees and general area of peace and tranquillity. The large number of foreign guests bears testimony to the success of this institution.
This place has also emerged as a centre of traditional Hindu worship. The number of Poojas which have been conducted every month is phenomenal. Recently a temple dedicated to Dhanwanthari has been opened in the premises.
My wife and I am looking forward to our seventh visit to this place again hoping against hope that the process of development will not render this place a busy centre and that it will continue to maintain its charm.
Thank you,

My stay at Vaidyagrama has been a transformational experience physically emotionally and spiritually.
Never have I experienced doctors, therapists and overall staff for genuine care about you!
Always smiling with the kind of smiles that come out from their eyes and hearts.
I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to be cared for by these people.
I have learnt much about the nature of my mind with the help from Dr.Ramadas and other caring doctors.
I realise where my physical issues stem from and how much to work on.
I have loved the Satsang and really appreciate the doctors who take their time out to teach us Ayurveda and about the amazing projects and activities Vaidyagrama supports.
I was so happy to be in the presence of Geetha and Aparna where they put so much hard work and love into helping the children from the village.
The food was always wonderful and I will miss you eating it when I leave!
My heartfelt thanks goes out to all the kitchen staff in preparing for some delicious meals for us.
Not only do the doctors help you a physical level they realise there is more to healing then taking medicine.
They do their work through God and they have shown me that its useless to worry, stress and cause problems for yourself.
This I will continue to work on and focus on doing more in the service of god.
I enjoyed prayer and I am thankful for all the doctors and the participants who came to share that space.
Although I have got a long way to go in my complete healing process I’m so happy I came here to be loved and taking care of.
I hope to come back again and volunteer for the children’s home you are planning to set up.
No matter I will see you all again soon and I thank you with all my heart all my soul.
Love you always

This is my second visit to this wonderful place.
I must confess that every atom of healing is being done with almost care and love and every ingredient for that has been rightly chosen here.
The doctors, supporting staffs, room attendants come with a smiling face making it more and more lovely.
I am extremely thankful to all who could arrange including my ekadasi food with a smile on the face.
I am extremely thankful to Dr.Harikrishnan with warm love in touch while in dubai and his promp attitude in calling back, in case he does not answer, is also a major help and reason to come back here
My love and regards to Dr.Haritha, Dr.Omprakash and my dear shyni who are so lovely and helpful in any time of the day.
I sincerely pray all the good fortunes for this institution

The moment I stepped in to vaidyagrama all my mind said was “All nature”. I came in past midnight on 18.04.2015 with my uncle. We were welcomed by Dr.Ramadas and Dr.Haritha (Sweetest thing). I was actually very impressed that Doctors usher you in and show you around your room. The next morning I took a walk around VG and very very astonished with the greenery and chirping of birds. It was something I do not get to see much or admire back at home. I was very impressed with the way Vaidyagrama was designed. The all nature concept was expounding. Natural water, solar energy, natural stuff to keep mosquitoes and insects away and etc. I could actually see that there was a lot of thinking and planning put in to this. Kudo’s to the team.
I thank all the staffs for making my 30 days stay a pleasant one.
Dr.Haritha – As mentioned earlier the sweetest thing in VG. She would know that I am disturbed and was there to console and encourage me to continue. As I was lost and felt out of civilisation. She save me the reassurance that I will be fine. She made frequent visits to my room to comfort me and have small talks. She was there while I was given vasti for 3 days although it was not easy for the 3 days. She was there to encourage and reassure me . Thanks sweet heart.
Dr.Hari – Always approachable, stern but friendly dr. Thanks for everything. I know you are the MAN behind all the scenes.
Dr.Omprakash – a very energetic promising young man filled with vibrance.
Lakshmi – My therapist a quiet lady but always makes sure that everything goes well, get my kashayam on time, meals are all on time. During treatment she looks in to the smallest things like warming for mouth gargle, made sure the bathroom was ready with my towels and shampoo in place. Small little thing that makes big difference. During my basti she actually come in and spoke to me told me to hands in there and be strong.. sweet!
Indu – Although not much interactions with her she is a very good therapist with excellent inter-personal skills. Always asking if lunch was ok, do you need salt in your food etc. Love this gal..
Chitra – Very dedicated and commited. I had once feedbacked that there were small bug like things in my home. She took my feedback seriously and cleaned. She was back the next day to even ask if there were bugs last night. She never fails to put a smile on my face.
Jameela – Very experienced lady in saree. Love her energy. She always knows when it hurts during therapy due to heat etc. Love her much!
Thanks again everyone who have made my stay pleasurable in one way or another. I will be back next year for sure..

The word that come to my mind is “gratefulness”.
This resumes which I feel after 3 ½ weeks here. It was my second stay, last year i came for 6 weeks, and hopefully I will be back here in one year or two .This place is an amazing refresh for body and mind. It is so great that a place like this with true Ayurveda and dedicated doctors and staff exists in this wide jungle of “Modern Ayurveda Business”.
I am so grateful to have been able to be here again, grateful to doctors and to all the staff, from the gardeners and cleaners to the cooks and therapists. A special thanks to Lakshmi who already massaged me last year and to Jameela, who massaged me with dedication and bathed me like a mother would bath her child, Thank you!
The place is becoming more beautiful. The plants grew a lot and attracted even more beautiful birds…
It is a paradise and being able to just “Be Here”, with our having to worry about anything, with the knowledge that I am, being taken care of in the best and most loving way… It is just such a treat and luxury.
So happy to be part of Vaidyagrama Family
All my love and blessings to you all,

My stay here has been wonderful. you really get a feeling that the commitment of the doctors here is 100% towards the patient.
They are concerned about the well being of the patient.
I am no one to comment on the nature and quality of food here all I can say is that if the food suits the treatment 100% then continue with that, otherwise change it .
This is an area where there is a room for thought.
There are many talented young people in Vaidyagrama, they could however be made to work upon their behaviour with patients. Their communication skills need to be tuned.
All in all, stay here has been memorable.
The suggestion about are intended for the well being of this institution which I think has a great future.
I specifically want to thank Dr Harikumar and Dr. Ramadas for looking after me well.
The over all experience was very good. Special thanks to Pradeep, Ganesh, and Prasad who looked after with great care and devotion.

The experience is remarkable. Most impressive is the 100 % devotion and attention from the doctors.
The other staff are also dedicated.
The massages were exhilarating and relaxing.
The food is acceptable perhaps necessary blend in keeping with the therapy.
My first visit to Vaidyagrama was in 2010.
In the 5 years the transformation of the surrounding has been an amazing so lush green and tranquil.
A very warm and dedicated approved by everyone makes one totally relaxed and comfortable.

The comment I am writing on behalf my sister who has come for treatment for her neurological problem due to train accident. This is her second visit. The place is very beautiful which gives peace of mind. We noticed certain improvements in my sister’s condition. The medical procedures, food, treatment and caring by entire team is beautiful and excellent. We are very much thankful to Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Omprakash and Dr.Haritha and team members involved in my sister’s treatments.
Thanks to entire vaidyagrama team.

This is my first visit to vaidyagrama. This trip only happened by chance if not for my niece. I have never heard of this village nor do I have any knowledge about ayurveda. When my niece wanted to come here for treatment, I have decided to accompany her out of sheer curiosity.
Not knowing what to expect, I landed in Coimbatore and was brought to a remote village and was welcomed by Dr.Ramadas and Dr.Haritha.
The next day, Dr.Harikrishnan along with Dr.Omprakash and Dr.Haritha came to see me to discuss my condition and the supposed treatments were advised. Thus started my life in vaidyagrama.
Many of the habits or practices I had in Singapore could not be done here like snacking, irregular meal times, going to bed late at night, reading at night or watching television. Above all, no coffee/tea or fish/chicken.
But surprisingly, I scraped through all these without any fuss or hassle. Apart from the first 2 days, the other 19 days moved easily without any stiffness or cravings.
I was able to wake up early without a alarm clock and even sleep early at night, which never happened in Singapore. The treatment I received has helped reduce my neck and back stiffness and the pain in my knees. I have been eating vegetables a lot in these 3 weeks which is equivalent to 3 months of consumption in Singapore.
Besides the food and treatment , there were other activities like the cooking class, walking in the garden, cow pooja, satsang session and the prayers in the morning and evening.
In short, these 3 weeks experience in vaidyagrama was a learning journey fruitful and effective .I would like to thank Dr.Harikrishnan for my treatment, Dr.Om (probably the live wire of vaidyagrama) for his care and concern, Dr.Haritha who always asks me to take care and not to go outdoor numerous times like a daughter to a father. Dr.Ramkumar for his satsang session, Dr.Ramdas for the video shows and prayer session, Biju for his excellent massaging and to the rest of the family members in vaidyagrama who has helped me one way or another. I am truly grateful.
Thanks

Many thanks to my niece Dr.Kalpana Sampath and her husband Dr.Sampath, I was fortunate to have a privileged opportunity to be associated with vaidyagrama from its infant stage. In fact it goes back to a period, when even the current location where we are in was not in the planning even.
Dr.Kalpana and Dr.Sampath were always keeping me informed about the progress and development of this from time to time. Despite this early introduction it is only now I am blessed to have my first treatment here, which indeed has given me an unforgettable life experience physically, mentally, intellectually, and more importantly spiritually.
Dr.Ramkumar together with experienced ayurvedic doctors in this team have carved out, by working hard and with passion, to bring out this beautiful and authentic ayurveda healing center here. The hallmark of this unit is that the entire staff here is working as one family, providing all the loving care and attention to the patients,making an ideal healing environment.
I would like to thank the following persons with whom i had a daily contact
1) Dr.Harikrishnan – For quickly diagnosing and providing the correct treatment substantially improving my physical condition
2) Dr.Sajna – For all assistance towards the above
3) During satsang sessions
a) Dr.Ramkumar – For clarity in answering all questions in his inimitable style
b) Dr.Ramadas – for giving very good presentation of all the important aspects of
ayurveda one needs to know
c) Dr.Omprakash – for his multifarious skill in making us understand the working
aspects in this centre inclusive of physical demonstration of the same
4) Prayers:
I really enjoyed chanting vishnu sahasranamam and Lalitha sahasranamam on the days of my stay here. Thanks to Dr.Ramdas and also Dr.Harikumar & Dr.Omprakash.
5) Icing on the cake:
I am really blessed to have witnessed the Kumbabishekam of Lord Dhanwanthari temple recently built up.
Thank you

I come to wake up more to who and what I am and you all at vaidyagrama, with your love and attention, have been a great help. Knowing only what I had read about Ayurveda in books, I am beginning to know the science of life from within. This has happened in many ways in the conversation daily with the doctors in satsangs. Thank you doctors for selflessly giving to these discussions in the classes, garden walks, demonstrations in conversations with many staff members sitting in your beautiful hospital in peaceful contemplation, in sharing with linda and other patients and perhaps most of all though your open-hearted giving entering through the pores in my skin enlivened and instructed the cells of my being.

Dear vaidyagrama staffs
I am feeling so happy and feel like sharing all my heart to you expressing how lucky I am feeling to be a part of your family for some five weeks.
Well! I did not come here to treat some disease or something but just to accompany my elder sister who was going through bad health condition.
I have always been a quiet person and I really enjoyed being with myself all alone, so I found it a best place to attain that inner peace and happiness of mind. Just after submitting my Masters thesis, all I was able to see is a hope from Vaidyagrama to treat my sister’s health problems.
I am seeing her from last few years how she is struggling with her poor health. I was not able to believe that she will start recovering so soon after coming here. So I accompanied her. After reaching here and spending few days I got to believe that some really helpful people do exist in this world to help the needy.
The doctors, staffs everyone here was so wonderful. The way they cared for us was really appreciable. I whole-heartedly thank Dr.Nat who constantly supported us and encouraged us to come here.
After few days when I started seeing my sister recovering I felt so good. Now she has recovered her illness nearly 50%. I don’t know how I did not realize that the time was passing at it’s full speed and we completed 5 weeks of our stay here. Now it is time for me to say bye to Vaidyagrama as of now but I will visit again soon. I will miss everything and everyone who comforted my stay here but mostly I will miss Lakshmi chechi, Indu, Dr.Om and his lovely Daughter.
To experience Ayurveda treatment I received one week basic treatment which was really good. I wish you keep it up always and provide happiness and good health to the people who come with hope and faith in vaidyagrama. Nothing more to say. See you people again soon. Thanks a lot for everything
With love

At last the parting day has arrived. We were here for 21 day treatment course. Very impressed with the way things are planned here. Vaidyagrama is really a nice place to come and take treatment.
We live in an Ashram and it felt like staying in the same environment here. There is a touch of sanctity blended with spirituality in some of the activities here. We have been made to feel at home.
Our heartfelt thanks to Dr.Ramanandan and Nikhilji. Special appreciation to all staff, special regards to aparna ji, for making this possible for us. Best wishes for the upcoming conference in December. Pray that punarnava will grow by leaps and bounds serving the society. Let the blessings of God and gurus shower up on us all

After reading experiences of all my co-patients I think I second them. This is my second visit to VG and I have madly risen up in love with vaidyagrama. It seems to be a different kind of world altogether. Everybody is very humble and soft here. Vg is like extended family now. I felt like I have come to my mother’s house. Whatever I learn here is for better than what I learnt in my academic carrier.
That is Self realisation.
Thanks to each and every person involved whether behind the screen or in pressure
Love you all

I feel I am truly blessed to have come to vaidyagrama. A childhood friend of my husband Dr.Paulraj referred us to this place. I thanked him so many times for letting us know about this wonderful place. A “heaven on earth”
I feel this place is blessed by god and nature. Each and every soul I come across emits so much of positive energy. The learning from this place is extensive. The entire crew spearheaded by extremely knowledgeable and unassuming doctors like Dr.Ramkumar, Dr.Ramadas Dr.Harikrishnan and Many other doctors, therapists and all other staffs putting their heart and soul in bringing uo this place.
A sense of belongingness, ownership and commitment is seen right from Doctors to therapists and everyone here. I love to make a special mention about Dr.Om and the therapist Jameela. They take care of the patients with almost care. I felt my Mom is with me when Jameela chechi interacts with me.
The small girl sreelakshmi and her dedication is excellent. I am going back with so much of lovely memories, new friends, fresh, rejuvenated mind and body. I am part of this wonderful family. I once again thank god to have brought me here. I am looking forward to be here with my husband.
My sincere Prayers will be always with this team to go more and more to the society and all the dreams to come true. God will surely send right people when they goal and vision are so pure and noble
God bless all

This is my third visit . Third time is the charm and as on previous occasions it was good to be with caring people from doctors to staff, therapists, and people who cook the food. In this aspect nothing has changed and as good as ever.
It is a pleasure to see Vaidyagrama growing from 6 to 9 block Double that in 3 years. what is special about Vaidyagrama is not only its dedication to the treatment of patients but also the dedication towards environment, to the surrounding community, their people working always helps to support the well-being of all .
Feel blessed and fortunate to be able to come and receive the treatment here and participate in the Spiritual aspects of life.
Wish Vaidyagrama all the success in their chosen path. This will be always a special place for me and hope may have opportunities to visit and enjoy it often. Thank you,

I want to thank you for having such a good operation.
Overall I was extremely pleased with the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff.
The passion for healing that the medical directors have is extraordinary.
Dr.Ramkumar brings to Vaidyagrama the attention to detail in planning and implementing our treatments – this is second to none.
I cannot thank you enough for that.

The nature….
The warmth…
The knowledge….
And most of all the genuinety of the doctors to the therapists to the cooks and the helpers and their love…and not because they have to but because they want to!
Even the most horrible tasting 5am kashayam served by our little Maithili with her radiant smile was enough to make our day brilliant.
We are happy to have become /shared part of a family who created this beautiful heaven on earth with consciousness of mother earth and god’s blessings and affecting positively to the surrounding environment.
The ideas to encourage the children to go to school, creating a children hostel for the orphans, feeding the poor families on a daily basis right to trying to understand the human body and mind along with astrology are some of innovative ideas that just were very heart warming.
Vaidyagrama is nothing short of a miracle for its surrounding environment and Coimbatore and perhaps India. We need more Vaidyagramas in the world.
Thank you to Dr.RAMKUMAR and Dr.Ramadas for the enlightenment on ayurveda and the benefits my mother and me were blessed with while here. Also thank you Dr.Harikumar for your patience and guidance. And also big thanks to Aparna and Geetha for their tremendous dedication and selflessness.
Thank you all for letting us plant future trees and letting us be a part of Vaidyagrama always…

Vaidyagrama for us has become a home away from home where we have being mothered instead of always bring mother at home.
The care we have received starting from Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Om, Dr.Sajitha, Shyni and all the others leave us feeling absolutely blessed.
Not only has it been a journey towards better health but also in spirituality.
The satsangs and prayers with Dr.Ramkumar and Dr.Ramadas have left a deep impression on us.
Thank you vaidyagrama for an absolutely soul stirring experience.

Dear Vaidyagrama
We came here on the recommendation of my mother Yim Ming.
She came here the first time in 2012 and returned back home to Germany with only positive feedback.
Last year was her second time here and she too loved that stay.
She then decided to drag my father, Martin and Me along on her third visit.
Martin and I didn’t know what to expect nor were we sure if ayurveda would benefit us.
But now after 3 pleasant weeks here any doubt or mistrust I had before has vanished.
I would like to thank especially Dr.Ramadas and Dr.Harikumar for taking excellent care of us.
All the caring and skilled therapists, the cooks, Hakeem and Aparna! Thank you
Overall it has been a privilege and a unique experience staying here at Vaidyagrama!
I hope to return soon!
Thank you again…

Excellent place. A Real rejuvenating Experience for me.
I would recommend this to all of my friends. Doctors provided excellent service progress was requested and updated frequently all doctors spend a lot of time with us.
The support staffs were very courageous and helpful neatly maintained.
Food choice can improve with specific requirements of the patients taking into the consideration the diet needs of their treatment.
As an example I would prefer chapatti than the rice.
Next visit with my wife for relax and distress.
Thanking you all at by Vaidyagrama

Things I loved about vaidyagrama
1. Doctors – Dr.Omprakash and Dr. Harikrishnan – excellent doctors. I was very happy with the consultation they provided.
2. Ambience – Puja, culture and people
3. Therapist – Shyni was excellent in her service
4. Timeliness – everything was provided for and taken at the correct time.
5. Things I did not like are –
1. Kanji – can improve on providing a little tastier food somedays the dosas and rottis were burnt.
Other than that, no grievances .
Great people great work

This is the first time that I am undergoing a full ayurvedic treatment, but it is such a rejuvenating experience. Day by day as the body cleans up the mind also become more and more clear. And the ambience here is so good. So conducive to healing mind and body. The programme in the morning and evening conducted with so much spirituality. The care of the physicians and therapists on all levels to the great loving experience of the place. May this venture be so successful that both mankind and ayurveda benefit from it. May god bless all.

This stay at Vaidyagrama has been a lesson in life, given by the grace and gentleness by every single person I came across here.
From the gentle smiles of the ones I crossed paths with, the healing touch of my lovely therapists, the no nonsense and spiritual advice of the doctors, every gesture was a healing one and one that can help me grow. This is the first of, I hope, many stays in this blessed place.
A gesture that touched me was the hand put on the Heart.
I thankfully take to my heart all that was offered and wish everyone here to be blessed in many ways, that their way in life be an enlightening one that their journey be full of joy.
Words are poor to express the gratitude in my heart. I do hope those will be understood in this way…
Thank you so much to all the doctors, Therapist, cleaning staff, cooks, gardeners and all the ones I came across ..
And let’s not forget the birds. I thank them for the joy and lightness they bring to my heart.

It has been a great experience any experience.
Doctors, therapists and the people who cook maintain this place clean. Their faces always wore a smile doing their work in the most efficient manner. I never knew that the food can be so great, sanitation, so nutrition and yet cost so little.
I will practise what I learnt here .I will get back soon.

To all the community at Vaidyagrama
I feel so blessed to have been able to stay here for the past month. The depth of my gratitude cannot be contained in words. Everything about this place I Love. Such kind caring people most especially it really is about all aspects of health here. Not just the physical body (although that is much healthier Thank you). I have experienced panchakarma before, but here the opportunity to go much deeper – So far beyond any idea of what my experience would be like. Thank you from my whole being. I hope I can return. Hope my daughter will find her way here and now I will be carrying herbs more than oil back with me. Love to everyone.
People here are the family you wish was yours (Or I wish mine had been….) Except …. I got exactly what I need.
PSS. Thanks especially to Dr.Harikrishnan Dr.(Zoom) Omprakash.

I thank you for being there to take care of us after we have failed to fully follow your advice and so come back to you for your retreat. I come again and again.
This now is my third three weeks stay here and each time it gets easier. I mailed my friend today who initiated me here saying “Believe it or not my 3 weeks are over and I am actually missing the food”.
The entire well oiled team makes the stay very pleasant defined etc “Longies!”. It’s service with a smile across the board. When the Doctors tell you that you cannot have number of things and that if you like something to eat, it’s not good for you ! but read with a smile.
Looking forward to come back

5 weeks that have gone so fast yet seems like an eternity .I have experienced an entire life of emotions, thoughts, beliefs, fears, Joy, frustrations, and peace while I stay here.
My stay here has been far deeper than a simple Hospital stay. I feel I have been transported another place another time and blessed with opportunity open up my fears, wounds, doubts allow them to be exposed. journey through them and get to a point of understanding them and transforming them as Dr Ramdas says with acceptance+ love +gratitude.

Environment was very good. My grandparents are feeling really good. Their health is improved. But I am unhappy since I didn’t have any weight loss. Feeling sad about it.
But happy for my grandparents and the place and people and staff very kind and helpful.

Dearest Vaidyagrama team,
I am so very grateful for your care and authenticity, my process here was tough on many fronts, but as Dr.Ramadas wisdoms (daily) effort, it was all for a reason.
It took me several weeks to appreciate this. It will take many months to truly trust and live it.
Thank you for seeing to me and seeing me. And for being a true message no judgment, just genuine care.
I hope I can return the love one day.

Vaidyagrama – “A piece of heaven on earth”. That is what we can say, I am here for the second time and I feel I am blessed to be a part of this loving family. The love and care the doctors and other staff showered on me had brought unbelievable changes in my life.
First of all I apologise to all the doctors for pestering them to taper my steroids. For all the trouble I gave them they made it a success.
I thank Dr.Harikrishnan for the confidence he gave me and Dr. Ramanandan who gave personal care so that I did not even realise Dr.Harikrishnan absence during this treatment. I have to thank Dr.Om who always answers everything with a smile on his face and who comes and treats me with a smile even when I called him at midnight saying I have a pain. I thank Dr.Sajitha for her sweet speech and care.
I thank Dr.Ramadas for his positive speech which brought a spiritual enlightenment with in me.
I have to thank Lakshmi chechi and Jameela chechi who were there through out with me like my sisters. Lakshmi chechi was a perfectionist at work. I got my food and medicines always on time.
Chithra – A lovely soul who was more like a friend and took too much care to maintain my environment and surrounding mat. I thank Mrs. Baby, Deepa and Devi also for their dedicated work and love they showed towards me. I thank little indu who served me hot soups and lunch everyday.
With all my heart I thank each and every staff of vaidyagrama who helped me in healing. Thank you all

I am here needing a break from my role outside this place’s didn’t know what to expect and I was pleasantly thrilled am blessed to have this opportunity to spend time at vaidyagrama and hope to make it a regular affair.
The first thing that stuck me was the warmth of the people here. They genuinely care for us and it shows. It’s like a strange vortex that attracts only fantastic people. Even the other guests here are wonderful.
I am particularly thankfully to Dr.Ramadas and Devaki.
I will dearly miss the talks with Dr.Ramadas and his genuine concern for me.
I also want to thank Dr.Aruna and Radhika who have made me feel so welcome here. Maheswari is always cheerful even at 5.30am when she brings kashayam.
Sumathi who took extra care to make my stay in the room comfortable and Mosquito free.
Finally very thankful for Dr.Ramkumar vision for this place and the satsangs. It is a truly blessed place and I will miss it until I am here again.
Hopefully next year.

I am glad to be here, My stay was only 25 days. I felt so good to be here. Now I am feeling much relaxed and calm. I want to thank everyone who is a part of this Vaidyagrama family but the ones who I actually adored were Dr.Omprakash, Dr.Hari and Indu (My therapist). Vaidyagrama provides such a beautiful green environment which helps in healing fast which I really liked, and also morning and evening prayers. I will be continuing my medications and follow up treatments at vaidyagrama for my better health and mental well being. Thanks a lot!

Thank you Vaidyagrama doctors and staff for all the kind and constant care here.
I am very optimistic about this fresh start in my healing process. I very much appreciate the integrity and the service with which you are pursuing your vision, when my bone scan results show improvement. I am definitely coming back.
About the day to day running of the place, I enjoy the doctor’s presentation and found them educational.
The timing is rather haphazard though and often happens late and sometimes not at all. There is so little for the patients to do, this can be annoying.
Also the library should be open as per the schedule not often off and on.
As I am feeling quite weak still as I prepare to leave Vaidyagrama.
I would suggest an option where one could be accommodated here after treatments are done and can do work here and have the freedom to take trips in the area, before communicating international travel, which is anyway exhausting and include a more substantial diet as part of it, perhaps a future program for you.
I am looking forward to little or big miracles in my health condition in the near future
Thank you again Vaidyagrama for my new start.

First of all thank you Vaidyagrama for showing me a different perspective to life.
Have enjoyed the oil massages and the treatments which I have not done before.
I want to stabilize my sugar and it is happened with the food here. Which is very nourishing maybe we all need to change our food habits and make it simpler.
Some of the experience or lack of communication with the doctors and the assistants especially with Kashayam. There seems to be a miscommunication or lack of communication about timings etc.
On the whole very rejuvenating experience once again thank you
Suggestion
Can there be at least 15 minutes of Pranayama in the morning and evening the swami just from Chennai it was excellent and Pranayama he taught very simply and effectively.

I had a Nice and homely experience during my stay at Vaidyagrama.
The staff and the doctors are very caring and soft hearted they are working as if they are serving the God.
Morning and evening prayers brings peace in our mind and heart
Suggestion:
There should be provisions of hot warm water in bathroom always.
There should be provision on regular basis of newspaper, magazine books in different languages in the library.
Soups and herbal tea are not always hot.

I would like to thank you doctor and therapist for their care and patience. The stay at vaidyagrama with its peaceful surroundings helped me to regain tolerance and rethink my life style.
It was also a spiritual journey.
However I missed a regular yoga practice some light asanas that help to stabilise body and mind, I also missed guided meditation which helps to calm the mind.
The timing of the massage session was not always properly managed; I think a regular timing would be helpful for the healing process
Thank you again for this wonderful time I was allowed to spend here.
I do wish to return.

We have been here for 2 weeks now and will be leaving with a heavy heart missing dear family of doctors, therapist, support staff and the fellow patients.
We would like to say special thanks to Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Harikumar who more than being a doctors, are also life skill gurus .
Therapists – Maya, Madhu, Sasikala, Prasad and others who were ever obliging, empathetic and accommodative.
The wonderful eco friendly and sustainable environment, holistic treatment, wonderful human relationships and the spiritual aura around has made us feel much better then when we came. With the follow-up of medicines a few Lifestyle changes and the good advice from doctors,
we hope to have better health and quality of life.
Our sincere thanks to Aparna ji for the regular communication before we came and for always having that very cheery disposition.
We are taking back a lot of knowledge with us Thank you.
The regular satssang session with Dr. Ramkumar and Dr. Ramadas was very informative
We also had the good fortune to add a witness wonderful Ganapathi homam and Rudra Abhishekam during our stay.
We wish Vaidyagrama, all the very best for all the future programmes and for the 5th conference coming up in December.
A true Healing Village.
Best wishes

First and foremost thank you to the divine forces and Vaidyagrama for 21 amazing days of treatment.
Thank you to the whole team and it really is a team from (gardener, housekeepers, office staff therapists and doctors) for such skilful, gentle, respectful care where one is encouraged in the most delightful environment to Be rather than Do.
The whole setup is brimming with integrity, the doctors are walking the talk, bright, shiny, positive, cheerful.
It is not surprising that despite many challenges and adverse opinions from others, vaidyagrama vision is manifesting so fast.
The intent is pure to find every extra rupees putting into Seva, upliftment for the poor local communities.
The rhythm and routine of the days are perfect generating all the right qualities for healing to take place at all levels. One point I have to mention is that as most people are here for a minimum of 2 weeks, it would be be so nice if they can actually feel like participants in at least some of the daily mantras rather than attending the personal Sadhana .
We had a taste with Swami BrahmaYogananda – it is uplifting and encouraging (only listening particularly for westerners can be alienating rather than inclusive). Please don’t mind it.
I end here with great gratitude and hope to save up to return again. Will be recommending Vaidyagrama highly.
May god continue to bless you all for your fabulous work from Heart

At last the departing day has arrived. 21 days of panchakarma treatment was an excellent experience.
We are super impressed with the doctors here. They are absolutely fantastic. Dr.Harikrishnan and Dr.Omprakash were always around us checking our reactions and symptoms in detail and helped us undergo this treatment in a pleasant way.

When I first came in 2012 it was with the condition that required surgery and had no other option. But in my 3rd treatment, the scan report shows considerable improvement and now scan showed no indication of the original condition.
Ayurveda I have experienced, works at a very deep level to regenerate cells in the body.
Ayurveda treats not only the condition but the whole person. I have healed physically, emotionally and mentally I will continue to grow.
To experience authentic Ayurveda is the vision of vaidyagrama. This has been my experience and a blessing in today’s days commercial world.
My gratitude to many who form this community with sincerity, care and love. Please continue to provide the support for the health of many and for Universal well being.
Many initiatives have been launched for this to be a healing community. Can we as global citizens help the local community to heal this global universe.
Providing peace and prosperity for all.. loka samastha sukhino bhavantu..

What can I say the welcome back was extraordinary! once arrived safely back at the airport after heart stopping ride with a wrong driver! But all was well, all Smiles with the right guest dispatched in the right taxis in the end.
And finally there was Dr. Ramadas waiting for my arrival finally at 12:45 AM.
The next day word had gone around I was back and staff were at the door led by another who had spotted me, for hugs and beaming smiles!
And that family feeling continued how one can not heal with such constant loves listening and acceptance all from the heart from everyone!
I was in another block this time.
My room was an oasis, my therapists Kalpana, devaki, sindhu, Maheswari just bliss and heart!!!
Sumathi and dhanabhakyam you kept my rooms clean and even smiled with no problem when I spilled my beans literally all over the newly changed bedspread outside. OMG!
Dr.Aruna your sweetness and Listening from the heart made me feel truly heard, full of compassion and knowledge a friend.
Dr.Ramadas you are full of lightness dedication, a buddy as well as a doctor. I love your sense of humour and naturalness….Just beautiful.
Dr.Arundhathi although not my doctor your warmth and cuddles were so lovely what a lovely female complement you make to Vaidyagrama as one of the freshly arrived medical team and prayer given.
Dr.Harikrishnan your constantness and lovely voice at prayer.
Dr.Om you are the wind blowing out the cobwebs. your plant knowledge and preps of medicine an inspiration! still even though I have done several walks with you.
And then last but not least Dr.Ramkumar your satsangs are a delight and inspirational in the depth! It is amazing how one question leads us on a journey of unexpected expansion and joy.
Oops I forgot Aparnaji and geetaji your energy and readiness to serve all needs is heart warming.
Then I Forget deepa, mending my bits and pieces overnight after a hard day cleaning.
And then there is Rema and Manoj, Balu all the Kitchen staff who had lunch and special meals ready for me everyday.
And then how could I forget the Garden ladies digging, filling, planting and harvesting.
Without you we would not have flowers for Pooja,nor the Temple sweet fragrance into our rooms.
Bringing with them your big smiles and nods. And then there are the birds filling the morning with song, squirrels, cats and how I miss the joy filled greetings of reddish brown dogs with curled tail.
He was embodied freedom and joy –just giving friendship,-no Demands -just company.
well I leave yet once again Recharged and filled with renewal faith in the world.
Vaidyagrama is a family a true village United Nation.
I can’t wait to see the children’s home and school and living products completely.
one suggestion would be -although it is probably the project list all the day the paint the upper part of the walls from the blinth upto the ceiling white.it would Brighten and reflect light into the now very dark rooms.
Maybe old towels too could serve as a mats in the bathroom to dry feet when coming out of the shower something dry to stand on.
Well good bye blessings and smile for all your dreams up and do.
I am sure this won’t be my last visit I forgot Sasikala, Sri Lakshmi, Lakshmi and if I have forgotten to name you it is not because you have been invisible to me but just because I cannot remember your name on just because but your smile for all in my heart

I leave with mixed feelings I am looking forward to see my family but sad to leave the Vaidyagrama family.
I will be back to experience a wonderful heaven again.
My first experience and I am completely in awe of the richness depth natural way of complete holistic healing.
I feel nourished in body mind and spirit.
Thank you all and everyone at Vaidyagrama for reminding me to return to the basics.
To my Doctors, Therapist, kitchen staff, smiley gardeners, my gratitude and best wishes.
May this Abode of ayurveda be blessed and its essence of plenty always is preserved.
Few suggestion…
-More light in the rooms please.
-small hands soap in the toilet (chargeable) is important for hygienic reason.
-Being informed of treatment time would be going on long way in relaxing or resting instead of wondering when the treatment will be.

It was a wonderful experience staying at Vaidyagrama. Here all the doctors and the staff members are excellent. The doctors with whom I have interacted the most are; Dr.Harikrishnan, a perfect gentle man, has thorough knowledge of his field and takes personal care of all his patients, as adorable person!! Dr.Arundhathi :- is such a sweet heart! Extremely knowledgeable and intelligent, takes gentle personal care and gives a feeling of a family member! Dr.Om :- I have never seen a person more active than him, all the time involved in Vaidyagrama’s all the activities, running about and ready to help everyone. I did not get opportunity to interact with other doctors much, but know that they are all highly qualified, experienced and capable.
All the therapists, who treated me are well trained and take very good care. They are all well mannered and soft spoken.
All of them in this lush green environment with morning and evening prayers have made this place so fabulous and awesome that I feel like coming here again and again. God bless all the doctors and the staff members with all my best wishes.

It’s more than an Ashram atmosphere rather than an Ayurvedic set up.
The food quality is excellent and so also the treatment procedures.
I was very much delighted to participate in the agnihotra and holy chanting of Lord Vishnu Sahasranama in the morning and Sri Lalitha Sahasranama in the evening I got good rest here.
Real India lives in villages I was so happy to see so many patients from different part of the globe.
I wish all success of “ Vaidyagrama “and pray to the almighty Lord to bestow all good health, long life, peace, prosperity and illumination to one and all here.

My first ever Ayurvedic experience very impressive full of intrigue and awe!
I’m not sure how to describe Vaidyagrama.
It’s definitely not a resort an Ayurveda resort and does not feel like Hospital either.
Although my stay here is relatively short I felt like I know Dr.Ramadas for a long time he’s way more than just a doctor.
I would admit it’s not easy it’s intense and request discipline but at the same time very enjoyable.
Rice porridge attempted to open my inner taste buds and Ghee allowed me to reach a new tolerance level that I did not know what was there. Then again all is well that ends well.
Thank you for everything.
The best chance I got to spend time with myself without any other Strings Attached.

I have been following Ayurveda for 7 years plus and have visited a few Ayurveda hospitals and done Ayurvedic massage in the past.
But Vaidyagrama is far superior, It is the best for the most Superior Ayurveda Centre for anyone seeking healing and Wellness.
The doctors are all magnificent they are more than the doctors.
The doctors here are real Scholars stepped in ancient scriptures on knowledge.
The Therapists are professional strong and yet gentle the staff the cooks whom I never met, the gardeners, cleaners and house keeping all work in perfect harmony to made by the Vaidyagrama special place that it is.
I give thanks to Lord Shiva for bringing me here to experience a divine around me at Vaidyagrama. The morning and evening prayers are as important and necessary is other healing journey.
So I was happy to go for prayers this was my first visit but I know that I will come back again and again
“sarvey bhavantu sukhinah “
Thank you all for creating this beautiful place called Vaidyagrama

Dear Dr.Haritha and Dr.Harikrishnan and all the friendly staff
It was so glad to be here in Vaidyagrama healing village. The place is truly the best.iam really much more relaxed and healthy.
This place is so beautiful with very good food often and always friendly people and doctors.
I felt so comfortable,
But the most important point for me – that the doctors give us an example for living
I like also the prayers morning and evening and the very interesting satsung. Maybe I came back next year and another point is paradigm shift. I am impressed and this is an inspiration for me.

I am Vilas Kulkarni, who came here from October 18th to October 31st 2015 for couple of issues.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here living a simple life, close to nature and get most authentic Ayurveda treatment. I like the discipline hard and tried to follow all the Recommendation of doctors which are good for healing.
Having a lot of busy life in USA for job family, swadhyay activities. I found this break very useful for giving attention to myself.
I also used this time to do the spiritual reading of dyaneshwari and Bhagavad Gita which enhanced peace within me.
The doctors and all the staff are wonderful. The Garden, trees maintained around are also very beautiful and keeps right atmosphere for healing.
The satsang or information sessions were very useful and I am sure, we can use them to change our lifestyle to make it better as per Ayurveda recommendation.
The prayers Puja, go Puja and recitals of Slokas maintained Pious Atmosphere. In USA I would have never attended so many Poojas in several years. The doctors are the pujaris is which is so good thing. One suggestion I can give to make the atmosphere better is to add thought Oriented spiritual sessions during Satsang maybe once or twice a week. A topic from Bhagavad Gita will be good. I am leaving tomorrow but hope to come back again.

This is my first time here and my whole family has been here. My parents enjoyed the stay and treatments and the relaxation given at Vaidyagrama. Shall be here again very shortly. Hats off to Dr.Ramkumar, Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Omprakash and the rest of the team. A commendable effort and job. Results are going to be phenomenal. However my only suggestion is to improve the cleanliness in the treatment room needs jet pressure cleaning everyday. Excellent Work by Biju and vinod.
All the best !!!

Returning to Vaidyagrama after nearly 3 years felt like coming home. I felt such a deep sense of relief to be back in this amazing healing environment. Able to relax completely. Let go and trust the process and to just be.
Many thanks to the incredible team of Doctors, therapists and support workers whose boundless patience and inner joy make everything possible. Much gratitude to the vision of the healing village nested within the landscape and to the landscape, birds and animals. That keeps me grounded on my journey.
Having arrived with 7 kg of hand luggage and I am leaving with a lot more than just the take home medicines – very happy memories once again a laughter light and rekindled again ready to go with the flow….

Om Namah Shivaya to Vaidyagrama healing village
Truthfully the words cannot put justice to the experience of true complete healing and caring that the entire staff gives to its patients here.
I arrived here eagerly anticipating a certain degree of transformation and I am leaving here with much more than I ever could have expected change healing and transformation happened on many levels often without My awareness.
I will be leaving here with not just a body on its path to further healing but also a calmer, clearer mind and a heart filled with peace and joy.
The doctors are overwhelmingly attentive and caring to the needs of the patients and the staff of supportive on every level.
I was very moved by the prayers of Dr. Ramadas, the enthusiasm of Dr.Om Prakash, the tenderness of Dr. Harikumar, the love of Dr .Aruna and the great ability of communication by Dr.Ramkumar.
I am deeply grateful to all with love

This is our first Ayurvedic treatment. We enjoyed the stay, place and treatment and the harmless food. We will try our best to follow the same kind of food at home which will help to keep us healthy. We both reduced 3 ½ kg each weight in our stay. This vaidyagrama is well kept, well maintained and everything done in time. Doctors are very kind and knowledgable. Therapists done excellent work. We had good and enough rest. Thanks to this organisation.

I cannot leave out anybody. It is a special place and you have created a family here I feel great and feel that I will be back again and again.

We are coming here for the first time we first visited vaidyagrama for consultation and to know the details about the treatment procedure and we met Dr.Ramadas and we were completely satisfied with consultation session and also the ambience here.
Later on when we started the session each and everyday we could feel changes physically and mentally.
The treatment procedure followed here is excellent. We had a very pleasant experience here. We loved the environment of Vaidyagrama. We would like to thank all the doctors especially Dr.Ramkumar for creating such a beautiful ayurvedic healing centre. We would like to give special thanks to Dr.Ramadas and Dr.Aruna to take care of us. We also like to thank all the inmates especially therapists of Vaidyagrama family.
We will surely visit again to enjoy this beautiful experience.

Aloha!
I am walking away from here a new man! I have most definitely been through a major transformational life changing event. Of that I am sure. I came over here in pretty bad shape. I had lived on the cutting edge and the bleeding edge, and then I was on the going nowhere fast edge….. I have a lifelong pattern of too much pitta and it was here that I got to have a long hard look at it. The staff here at Vaidyagrama patiently stood by me as I thrashed about in my Pitta/Vata imbalalances. I really love all of them. Dr.Harikrishnan was like the captain of the ship and he set a steady, patient loving course for me, Which I did not always like, but he was confident that it would work. I have my own style of doing things, but obviously it was not working so well or else I wouldn’t be here in the first place! SO I allowed myself to trust in his wisdom and experience. Dr.Arundhathi totally supported me when I was feeling down, her bubbly enthusiasm and positivity lifted my spirit and got me keep going ahead. Her beautiful sweet partner Dr.Anjali always beamed love and support towards me also. Then of course there is the all-pervasive Dr.Om who greeted me at the door when I arrived and always everywhere doing everything at all times, with such a warm uplifting attitude and I love his baby girl! He also supported me a few times when I was having difficulties and showed true kindness and compassion to me for which I amm very grateful.
Dr.Ramadas is truly inspirational and I felt the healing vibes from him when we chanted the morning prayers. May his vision for Vaidyagrama flourish and be granted every success!
When I think about what my treatment was here, it was mostly getting saturated with medicated ghee. This somehow purified me and calmed my pitta and vata so that now I can just get on with my life with a new enthusiasm. So I am very thankful to all the cows that gave their milk, which did its magic for me. I needed a place like vaidyagrama to just rest and do almost nothing, but sometimes doing nothing is actually doing a lot!
A few things that would improve Vaidyagrama:
Fix up the library, get more books, make them easiest to get, the books I had helped to distract me during the long hours of sitting around.
Buy some towels. IT can’t be too expensive to get some decent towels, even if they are very thin, the clothes you have don’t dry anything off, especially wet-oily hair.
Make some place where we can get outside and look at the view, the sky, the surroundings. I felt too enclosed here and disoriented.
A little more variety in the diet would be helpful, more kinds of vegetables, you can sprinkle a little fresh or dried moringa for powerful nutrition and for color. You must grow more moringa trees if you don’t have enough yet! A little more fresh fruits please.
More satsangs about certain topics of Ayurveda, diet, doshas etc.
No cell phones in treatment rooms!

A big thank you to Vaidyagrama family. Special mention to Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Arundhathi, Dr.Om Prakash.

Dear Vaidyagrama family
Many thanks to Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar, Aparna, Dr. Aruna, Dr. Om, Baby, Devaki, Sashi, Pradeep, Dr Arundhathi, Geetha, Hakeem, Keerthi and the whole tribe for creating such a nourishing environment for healing the body, mind and spirit. I leave with much gratitude for all the love, care and wisdom that I have received.
While I have appreciated so much, what I have found the most inspirational is how punarnava ayurveda and Vaidyagrama are manifesting so many of Gandhi’s principles (trusteeship etc).
I look forward to continuing to see village evolve in solidarity with every community and members soul.
What a beautiful and humbling experience.
I feel really privileged to take part
with love peace and light.

All too short a stay in this tranquil spot. The support and guidance provided by the staff made the stay useful and improving and hopefully has put me on to strong healing pathway. The trust and all its enterprises, desire to create a balanced healing lifestyle are inspirational. So much of the west expect for this temple structure.
Thank you! All too short! I hope to return soon!

After a 21 day stay at the beautiful vaidyagrama, the challenge (the first challenge returning home) is to summon up the words in a still and calm mind to do it justice. Jason and myself arrived exhausted, overworked and grapling with a combination of depression, anxiety and emotional trauma. Body, mind and spirit was crying out for Help and as tempting as it was to hide away on a holiday or some tropical island drinking cocktails. We both felt profoundly this was where we needed to be.
Not to say there weren’t many moments during treatment with tropical island with cocktail calling run away but we knew that this would be a band aid fix. As supposed to healing, life changing experience
Jason and I had an experience of Ayurveda having been practising diet and lifestyle in Australia from which our ayurvedic practioners and friends highly recommended Vaidyagrama. But all the preparations in the world wouldn’t have prepared us for what was so much more than we could have imagined. The level of care and support even in most emotional challenging times. We knew we were 100% supported so we knew we will get through it. As someone was there always to catch you.
We will miss you so much beautiful staff from Therapist to gardeners, housekeeping, the smell of fresh red Earth, Dr ramdas laugh and morning prayers, (have level started the day so centre and clear) scholar mind soaked up the Satsang by Dr Ramkumar Dr Ramdas, Dr. Om The Spiritual and ayurvedic teachings were just extra ordinary. Breakfast dishes and ginger tea, our beautiful fellow patients, the positivity, the compassion that is just a way of life at Vaidyagrama .
Noisy CAT (meow meow) satvik singing along with community dinner. The gift of Chatting and prayer. Dr. sajna and positive Outlook helping reframe and in the way we look at the world .and even morning beans for breakfast.
Thank you Dr.Ramdas, Dr Sajna, Dr.Aruna, Aparna, our wonderful Therapist beautiful housekeeping, garden and Kitchen staff. Thank you all
Vaidyagrama is an inspiration from its beginning now and long it may grow. Our western world of business disconnect would learn much from vaiduagrama. Testimonial to learn healing power of love and community.
Lots of love

Today is my last day of a 29-Day journey through an emotional and physical Rollercoaster ride. I have come here as a tired and negative thinking (not always but often) person and today I feel so energized, full of positive thoughts when I look towards future. I am ready to leave this beautiful and quiet place to go out and experience the world again.
Vaidyagrama has become a home to me. I felt comfortable and taken care of from the first e-mail I have sent to you.
I have met here so many Big-hearted, compassionate, inspiring and loving people, to me, they have become friends to me and block-7 was the place to be!! I enjoyed such a wonderful time here, thanks to each and everyone (Doctors, cleaner, therapists, patients, volunteers and everyone else I had Contact with) I feel blessed to leave this place today as a “New woman” “I will go with the flow” (Dr.Om saying)
Take care and see you soon

Thanks to all the doctors, therapists and support staff at Vaidyagrama for making my stay so memorable.
It has not always been easy going without tea, coffee and sweets for 21 days.
But the end result makes it all worthwhile!
I met so many interesting intelligent people among the guest, with all having a common goal of making a change to their hectic lives in a positive way.
Vaidyagrama has been a blessing in disguise for me
I leave with very positive memories.

Thank you so much for a complete healing experience-on all levels physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
The treatment plan by the doctor zeroed in on all my needs and designed effective measure to resolve my issues.
The doctors provide a loving caring and most compassionate team approach.
All is co ordinated and delivered in an efficient and gentle way by very supportive and well trained staff.
The medicine always delivered with gracious, the food always on time.
The food amazingly creative with limited ingredients delicious and easily digestible.
When first arriving at 75yrs and thought and was beyond hope but as I leave after 29 nights there is a new outlook renewed strength and feeling very blessed to have found Vaidyagrama.

Thank you for providing a home for me to rest and heal for the past two and half weeks. I arrived injured, heavy and confused. And I am leaving feeling rested mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. And I feel lighter. Happy to have made some good friends with the doctors, patients,
Therapists, workers, trees and spirits of Vaidyagrama. Thank you and keep it real.

November 15 2015
Let me admit that this is the first time ever I have stayed for so long in a new place amongst stranger and amidst foreigners.
Having say that no a single day did I feel that way. I had come here with an open mind and to get away from hustle and bustle of a busy city life and to be on my own.
The experiences here have been fascinating from the stay, to the treatment, to the food, to the prayers, the satsangs, the staffs, the doctors. I can’t find a flow in anything.
On the contrary I learn how our sedentary life style impact pour body and the importance of living a disciplined life.
By one recommendation would be that if possible you should give all guests a gate to practical ayurveda as a take away.
None of us can give up our jobs and life style to be in a place where we can follow ayurvedic practice, so how can we ensure we live a healthy life style. The guide could include a list vegetables, fruits, pulses, lentils, grains etc we should and should not consume, Simple guide to a daily routine,
Some recipes of Satvik food and some simple exercise and basics of ayurveda. I am sure guest will be willing to buy it also.
I have experienced a different world here and made some wonderful people too.

I am back in December if there is a room available and I am sure will trouble people with my experiences here for next one month latest. Thank you.
Would like to specially mention Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Arundhathi Therapist Sreelakshmi Maheswari lakshmi and sumathi and cleaning staff Devi. It is because of all of them that my stay here never made me miss home.
I really enjoyed the satsang by Dr.Ramkumar and Dr.Ramadas. So much to learn from them.
The morning and evening prayers gave immense peace to my soul. Thanks to the doctors for that.
I must mention Aparna sarma as if It was not for her I would not have come here. She is the best person one could have to interact with guest first hand.
I don’t know the team that cook food for us, but special thanks to them, as I enjoyed every meal every day. May be a recommendation here, it would be good if the main cereal is served to 3/4th the quantity. I have a principle not to waste food so sometimes end up eating more than I can.

Once again my experience at Vaidyagrama has been absolutely wonderful!
This is the first time that I have come alone and stayed without a companion in my room and this has been my best stay.
Being alone gave me a lot of time to introspect and work things out in my own min.
Every single member of staff here is warm, welcoming, works with smile and gives of themselves willingly and openly.
Each of the doctors has a special gift that they impart to their patients unstintingly and with a caring and understanding of each person’s needs.
The environment created is not just one of healing but also one of humility, compassion warmth love and concern for each individual.
I shall go back home knowing that I will be coming back again for rejuvenation on good health for myself to spend time with all the wonderful people here.
Thank you each and every one of you for making my stay happy comfortable and healthy.
May the years ahead bring you an abundance of all things good

As I prepare to leave this Extraordinary Place after 3 ½ weeks with you. My heart is full of love and emotion.
This impact you all have in every one here is life changing. The care, extreme concern and the commitment to all of us and the authenticity of your Ayurveda is wonderful and heart warming.
Not necessary to name every one truthfully, from the doctors to all the gardeners as culture of care is prevalent throughout and it is very special.
And your community goals and the elderly, the children and sustainable living just make your agenda even more meaningful.
I was here to deal with a medical problem yet leave with so much more feel part of community , honour to have experienced.
This time here with all of you and know that I am in a better place as a result.

Dear all
Thank you for your hospitality kindness patience and devotion to making my short stay memorable and physically mentally, emotionally, rewarding.
The minute you walk through the doors you feel yourself unwinding I love so much the integration of natural building aspects of permaculture and the reduce reuse recycle concept and all of this amazing things before you even start with the treatments.
The amazing background energy of Vaidyagrama sets the scene for Holistic healing before you even begin treatment the doctors are amazingly knowledgeable, the individual care is beautiful and the Therapist healing touch is incredible of course, a huge thank you to the many other staff I never met who keep the place running and the stay so pleasant.
I love every concept I have encouraged here environmental, physical, spritual, charitable etc.

I love the concept idea, people, and design of living arrangements the progressive yet ancient thinking.
All leading to a very interesting relaxing and inspiring stay I hope Vaidyagrama and its side Ales expand and incorporate more people and help them their daily lives.
Although my stay was short I plan on returning another day to take full advantage of vaidyagrama.
Thanks to you all.

I came looking for a place
To simply be
To re- interact pieces of myself
Reconstitute my wholeness
To meet myself again
So I could find those around me
And come back to joy
To calm the Storms that rage
To quell my inner fire
To listen notice feel rest
To open closed spaces
Releasing all that is trapped deep in their mine.
Mind and body initially revolted
my palate to new potion
My soul to a strange devotion
The Storm grew fierce
my resolve weakened
Conflicted, I prepared to leave
But you said
Stay trust surrender!
And so I did
To re align
Body, Heart, soul and mind
Nourished by all those around me
The humble wisdom of the doctors
The skilled hards of the therapists
Nurturing energy a bound
Nature, stillness healing touch
Bitter potions simple food prayer
Enlightening satsang
Unexpected meaningful connection
Their comfort so sweet
And the in between space of solitude
And quiet contemplation
My journey still long
The path ahead uncertain
My transition
Like the point of stillness between my In breath and out breath
Like the timing point of the seasons As they unfurl effortlessly
Majestically according to their Timeless ordered chapters
But now I prepare to leave
With an expanding consciousness
A settling stillness
With gratitude for the knowledge So generous shared
My will resolved
To meet tomorrow
With clarity
Love gratitude
Trust
With an open mind
And as open heart
Thank you everyone for your compassion, generosity and loving kindness.
May once good and beautiful things come your way
Go well! go well!
Love blessing

On the last day of 2015, I reflect on my 15 day stay at Vaidyagrama—how I cannot ever remember having the opportunity to be so taken care of and so loved in my life ever before.
It is a deeply nurturing experience here and allows for a compete letting go—emotional, physical and spiritual, allowing for a deep healing to take place.
Dr. Ramadas inspires confidence by the way he seems to intuit emotional blockages and problems and subtly release them with lightness, humour and affection.
We really have so much rich understanding to learn from Ayurveda, India and their traditional customs.
But what is more remarkable is the vision of Vaidyagrama which was perceived, thought through and effectuated and which is now in full flourish with so many auspicious blessings from some of India’s greatest Rishis, who seem to somehow come together to permeate the vision and the day to day running of Vaidyagrama.
Good luck to all your wonderful karma yoga and may grace and blessings continue to fall on your endeavours.

I was new to this, I am still new to this—still digesting, as you do in Ayurveda!! Many images come to mind as I leave—such as the smile on the face of Dr. Ramadas as he turned towards me in the doorway of the therapy room, basti syringe raised, for all the world like an Ayurveda James Bond come to battle the toxic colon! Or the gentle, reassuring “Excuse me!” as food or medicine arrived, again the smiles, the peacefulness of the therapists—and the slow, green morning punctuated by bird calls and the cat calls as they negotiate their way around the blocks—so much to digest!
Early on, in Satsang, it was mentioned that this place slows you down—to bring life to a gentle meditative pause—to give space to restore balance. It does that, and we have been able to make a special experience of it sharing the process, starting the journey. I haven’t got to that balance yet—and I dare say I won’t—but the direction is clear to me now and for that I thank all at Vaidyagrama as all the community contributes, even those of us who are but fleeting members of it. A heartfelt thanks to you for this green blossoming peace.

This is my third visit to Vaidyagrama and it feels like it has almost become a part of my life, an integral part. I look forward to my visit now as after every visit I feel like a new person. Although I haven’t yet made friends with the lovely and wholesome “Kanji” and still look for the little jaggery, my acceptance of everything around me grows with every passing year. I mostly miss the calm and quiet spaces. The prayer! The birds chirping and occasional visit of the four-legged furry friends out on the balcony. Needless to say, I am eternally grateful to the entire team of doctors, with a very special thanks to Dr. Hari Krishnan, Dr. Om (who still remains omnipresent in every space of Vaidyagrama), Dr. Arundhathi, Dr. Anjali, and Dr. Aruna, and of course my therapists who have magic in their fingers—especially Lakshmi and Indu and many more who lent a helping hand. My thanks to all the members of admin, the cooks, the gardeners and cleaners who make this space wonderful. And hearty thanks to Dr. Ram Kumar whose Satsangs are thoroughly enjoyable, and help one never stop learning. Thanks to all, until next year, I hope!

This was my second Panchakarma at Vaidyagrama, and without suggesting in any which way that my visit last year was anything other than wonderfully nurturing, this time was different. This time, I truly fell in love with the place, the staff, and the ambitiously inspiring project of Punarnava.
Every little aspect of one’s stay, the treatment, the layout of the buildings, the organisation of all by the staff has been thought through with great care and attention to detail. All of this comes together to make one, as a patient, feel intensely cared about and loved. I think this was the real difference this year—I was much more receptive to the love that comes in every aspect of Vaidyagrama.
This morning we watched Dr. Ramadas give bath, dress and feed Lord Dhanvantari at the temple, which seems to encapsulate the tenderness and love which is at the heart of the Punarnava Project, a symbol of the optimal relationship of caring and being cared for that constitutes harmony or balance.
It feels like a great privilege to have had the opportunity to be a patient here. I am so grateful to have found Vaidyagrama and look forward to many years returning here as a patient, guest, friend, and hopefully one day, a contributor.
Thank you to everyone!

All-hearted thank you for this wonderful experience at Vaidyagrama. It has been an amazing two and a half week experience, starting with the conference and ending with planting a tree here in Vaidyagrama. I feel loved, nurtured and content. Thank you doctors, therapists, cooks and all the other staff involved…

Vaidyagrama is a true oasis in the midst of a busy and pollution-full world. It must be given the Lord’s blessings that Vaidyagrama has been able to thrive within a few years. Looking at the greenery around and beautiful constructions, you can hardly believe that several years ago this place was barren soil. A superb job has been done to transform such “desert” into an Ayurveda healing village for the benefits of people.
I am amazed at how thoughtful and effectively Vaidyagrama Village is organized by units. Patients undergo treatments in the same block and they don’t have to walk to their rooms in the open air after the treatments. Meals are also served in their rooms, and they don’t have to line up in the diet centre. Obviously, a lot of thought had been put in creating the village to make it serve the mission of helping people restore their health. I’m extending my gratitude to all of the Vaidyagrama staff, and my deepest appreciation to Dr. HariKrishnan and his team for taking me as their patient, for being my listeners and tolerating all of my silly complaints. I am grateful to my therapist, Jameela, for her kindness and love. Thanks Aparna for responding to all of my emails and for providing this great accommodation. I hope to come back next year, if you accept me again. Next time will come for Panchakarma (21 days)!
With love and wishes for continuous God’s blessings to you all.

During our short stay at Vaidyagrama, we felt the
· tranquillity and kindness of staff
· kindness and devotion of doctors
· rational approach to illness
· treating patients as a whole, rather than to only focus on illness
On the whole the concept of “Service to humanity is service to God “is fully met here.
Wishing the best for the team and kudos!

The reputation of Vaidyagrama precedes itself. I knew that I wanted to come to this place to do an authentic Panchakarma. I am certainly glad that I came! I believe that I have been nurtured, and taken care of in my journey to better health. I have learnt a great deal not only about myself (with lots of time in silence), but in the consultations, treatments, satsangs.
Through the process I tried to remain “open” to the experience and what may unfold. I knew that I would transform, but now I know that my lifestyle will/has changed from this point onwards. It will affect my personal life and working life. A Quite profound change, which actually make sense. I choose this. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with my students
What Vaidyagrama does well
· The balance of “entertainment” and silence.
· Gently guiding those new to Ayurveda
· Nurturing through the process of Panchakarma
· Buildings blend in Nature seamlessly
· Lovely staff all round
I leave in great health, new practical knowledge and feeling peaceful and optimistic about my future.
Merry Christmas
Thank you so much.

Dear Vaidyagrama Team,
The last time I came here several years ago, it was great. This time is somehow even better. The place has expanded, yet so has the level of care. The sense of being cared for and welcomed has gone from great to greater.
I thank you deeply.

This was my first visit and Panchakarma at Vaidyagrama. The treatment was great and I really felt looked after very well by Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Aruna. The therapists were very good and made sure I was comfortable.
I loved the room 101 in block A. I used to spend a lot of time sitting on the bed in the back listening to the sounds of the birds and feeling very peaceful. I think I got the same room. Just one suggestion: an orientation manual and explanation one treatment and medicine would be appreciated.
Thank you all at Vaidyagrama. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and met a lot of wonderful people.

Dear Vaidyagrama Team,
My experience here was above and beyond my expectations. The atmosphere, your attention to detail and serving spirit of service is highly appreciated. I felt cared for and looked after.
You all did such a good job making me feel at home that I am actually contemplating the idea of really moving here despite being a bit young to join the senior community (AureaLiving).
I am glad I followed Rema Prasad’s advice and signed up for the treatment and the conference. Both were an unforgettable experience.
I convey my deep gratitude to my doctors, therapists and all staff. I haven’t left yet, but already am looking forward to return!
Please kindly keep up with the beautiful energy and continue with AM/PM prayer, changing, satsang, group dinner, etc. They are the icing on the cake!
With love,

I feel sunny and bright, vibrant and full of enthusiasm for life after my short stay in this beautiful hospital. If all hospitals could be like this one, life would be so much better for sick people! I was staying here for the Ayurveda Conference organized by Punarnava Trust and managed to squeeze in a few days of “light” treatment beforehand. I love this place away from it all, amidst the lush greenery. I feel as though I could stay forever, my heart warmed by everyone’s kindness and my spirit nourished by nature and prayer. Thank you! I am very grateful to Anju for bringing me here and will come back for a longer stay next year, God willing.

Thank you for the hospitality, for the heart and care you put in, for keeping this environment wonderful, for respecting nature and for all other organisation, administration, services of any kind.
I go back to Europe with a peaceful mind and an open heart.

Oh! To stay in Vaidyagrama is to relish in the tender loving care of nature. The gardens, the space, the food and most of all the absolute unconditional devotion and love from all of the staff and doctors is stellar!
My stay was three beautiful content weeks strolling through the sun protected corridors open to the healing plants of Mother Nature LOVE! The morning sun kissed my patio of room 108 making breakfast and lunch hour delicious! Brilliant were these moments of confinement!
I reach out with warm embrace to all who I have met and those “behind” the scenes for their efforts from the heart and hands (therapists!!!) Sasikala, Devaki, Sindhu, Reshma, Mythili and the ones whom met me in the treatment room!
I thank Dr. Ramadas, Dr. HariKumar, Dr. Aruna, Dr. Om Prakash and Aparna… Your blessing will forever be remembered in body, mind and spirit.

We thank all these lovely women who took such care for us, devotedly and softly attending to our bodies during the treatments, bringing us food and medicine and all our daily needs. Thanks a lot to the staff behind. The cleaning ladies, the cooks, the gardeners keeping the whole place in peaceful, quiet and harmony.
We thank Aparna and Hakim for their help and reassurance, being always ready to help with every detail.
And most of all, thanks to the doctors who took charge of our health for a full 12 days and for being ready to help and find solutions to ever need of us.
And since this is an Ayurveda village, we deeply thank the air and the water, the flowers and the trees, the earth and the fire, the sounds and the smells, the sun and the clouds, the wind and the rain.

The beauty and the layout of the site is exceptional, and the Doctors and staffs could not be more helpful. Fell in love with Dr. Ramadas and many others and are convinced I need to incorporate many aspects of Ayurveda in to my daily life. The swelling in my leg is much reduced and loosing 4.5 kg was a bonus. Experienced marked by 3 vertigo attacks, so nausea and dizzy in later part of the 3 week experience.
Hope to include the Ayurveda menu as much as possible. Was told the experience would be sometimes difficult but much less severe than I feared.
All in all a very life changing experience with in good sense.

His joyfulness and acceptance of all that happens in life whether bad or good… all part of karmic back pack we carry conditions here support healing on a deep level and I have fallen in love with so many people here, the sound of the birds, the warm breeze and will so miss being so well taken care of and will spread the word of the magic of vaidyagrama.

The staff made my stay here very enjoyable and peaceful. It is very high quality care in all levels… from the doctors, therapist and cleaning team. Morning and evening prayers are precious. I would remember the faces of smiling staff, Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Aruna, Lalu, Pradeep, Tony, Shiny, Kalpana, Deepa. They will leave a trace of good impressions to add to my memorable experiences.
The facility is perfect, very comfortable for a pilgrim from the West.It has a Great natural ambiance with the gardens and birds. The three week stay allowed me to make major improvements in my blood pressure, blood sugar and acidic stomach. All good now! I lost 6 kilos with no issues. I am very grateful and will plan to come back for future tune-ups.

I am grateful for the entire experience and the three week panchakarma. Dr. Ramadas was more helpful than he probably knows. As an introduction to India, it was a great gift. The beauty of the place and the deep integrity of its construction reflect the deep integrity of its broader vision, which I was lucky enough to learn more about, thanks to a long conversation with Dr. Ram Kumar. I met so many lovely people many of whom are part of the ongoing community. It is inspiring and gives hope for the prospects of a healing that could spread far beyond this specific place. What this represents is needed in a larger way. You have my sincere best wishes for the future.

There is a spirit of generosity and calm that melts me…. A sweetness that has forced me to my knees… It’s gentle and normal, nothing special here it’s a daily way and energy. There is of course also imperfection loud noises and roaches, but Dr.Ramadas would say we must learn to love all the same. I have hard time with rashes and have much gratitude in my heart for my short stay here. I have been to other Ayurveda villages, but not as authentic loving and harmonious as this. Thank you for your wisdom, prayer, care and love .My wish is for all humanity to experience Ayurveda in this way.
May all beings be peaceful, happy and free!

First of all, a Huge thank you!!! To all of you in making this a real genuine experience, it provided me a holistic experience across physical, mental and spiritual level. The energy and nature here is amazing. The Doctors are genuinely committed in providing great care. Moreover, they are very approachable. The energy they carry has tremendous impact on the patients as well. All the staff members are very loving and most of them always smiling and seem to be happy. Many times reminded me that this is an attitude one should carry in life.
Over all I am grateful to God for providing me an opportunity to experience this during my stay.

I am very impressed with the quality of the Panchakarma experience. Dr. Ramadas and his team of doctors and managers under have been highly professional. They made my 3 weeks experience very pleasant and nourishing.
The pain in my hip is all about 70% improved and my low back pain is gone.
I managed to incorporate my personal spirit and believe in to Ayurveda lifestyle and feel that as a result have deepened my spiritual practice. It was particularly enjoyable to have some deep connection with Dr. Ramadas. I will recommend this programme to selected patients in my medical practice.
Thank you so much

This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama. The first time 2 years ago, was with a friend; my experience this time has been quite different. To spend almost 3 weeks of introspection is something we all should do regularly for physical, mental and spiritual health.
Vaidyagrama is a supreme example of an Ayurveda experience in which all the mundane trivia of modern world melts away and we are able to “see‘’ what life is really about.
The only thing that matters in life is LOVE and Vaidyagrama embodies nothing but love from the doctors, Geetha, Aparna Therapists, girls who clean the rooms and the areas and laundry to the kitchen staff and gardeners. Even the dog and cats who visit me bring love to my door .We are surrounded by it, no wonder why we are healed.
Every detail in our care is attended to and the concept is so simple and yet so difficult to achieve in today’s world.
Thank you Dr.Ramkumar, Dr.Ramadas, Dr.Harikrishnan and Dr.Ramanandan for creating such a wonderful place to become whole Vaidyagrama is a model of sustainable living and is in every sense an “Ayurveda Healing Village”
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Dear Dr.HariKrishnan, Dr.OmPrakash, Dr.Arundhathi & Vaidyagrama Family,
Truly we had a wonderful experience at this “Sattvic Healing Resort “.The care and support from the doctors, the treatment personnel (Indu et al) the room service personnel (Shenbagam et al) and all others well appreciated. The grand final including the planting of samplings touched our heart. Truly though short it was a memorable time. We will definitely spread the world about this place. Ram has lots of contacts owing to his Ayurveda background and rest assured this place will be in the Annals of Ayurveda Medicine as an authentic Ayurveda Healing Resort. Our best wishes to you all.

I was dragged to Vaidyagrama by my wife who had a 21 days stay in May which gave her renewed vitality and a spring in her stride.
To be honest I came here with a little idea of what to expect and why I had come. It was for me the unknown the unknown.
And what a profound impact it has had on me- at so many different levels. Physically my ring finger once swollen and pain ingested is almost pain free and free to move easily. My sleep is sound –something that has been an elusive mirage for so many years. My joint pains are much reduced and general swelling of the body is reduced. But this place is much more than a place to get physical problems addressed. It has been spiritually uplifting and mentally an awakening.
It’s not been easy. The food is sometimes challenging. The silence and empty days can sometimes be unnerving. There were many evenings and days when I wondered why I was here. But I was. Thankfully, there was a magnetic pull that kept me here. A pull created by the quiet, patient and persistent mothering one receives throughout. Even when one is upset the charm with which this is done bowls you over.
I feel cared for, and not just treated. And as a result I feel so much better. Thank you for this to Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr. Arundhathi, Dr.Omprakash, my therapists (in particular Joby) my room attendant and the gardener in front of my room also gracious, would keep fresh flowers each day on my balcony and of course the admin staff.
Thank you all

I came without knowing what I was doing or if I could do it. The people here Doctors, Therapists and staff made it easy quick and even enjoyable. Dr. Ramadas & Dr. Aruna held my hand and my heart through the cough points. Today I feel happier stronger and more positive than I have felt in a long time. I came here thinking that my life would not last long and now I feel I have many more happy years ahead. This is so much more than I expected. Thanks to Dr.Ramkumar and everyone else for this positive, natural + loving vision. Vaidyagrama will change so many lives and reminds everyone of the wealth + love and intelligence that is India.
