Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
Thank you so much to everyone who did something for me as the gardener, the housekeepers, the therapists, the doctors, the administration people, the kitchen staff and volunteers and all people who did things in the background that I have not seen.
I thank you all from the deepest of my heart for everything.
It was a beautiful stay with the sight of the flowers and trees. I am sure it will help me for my health and for my way to go further.
God bless you all. God bless the whole Vaidyagrama.
With all the love of my being,

It was my second time here. As “always,” the first 2 to four days I ask myself, “Oh god, what I am doing here?” The people who work there give the answer. I am flying away like a bird. I will come back. Thank you (the doctors, therapists, staff…) for that nice and professional ongoing process!!! It is a great place in this world.

I’ve spent thirty-three days here in total and I still don’t know how it affected me. The experience has been in so many levels that it is hard for me to express. And it doesn’t matter for now.

I remember all the smiles at every corner, the sound of chants, and guitar, the magical flowers around, the birds, the butterflies. The deep care, personalized treatment. It is such a unique experience in life to be able to experience such a restful time. I hope to bring much of it outside and to shine the “Vaidyagrama” love and spread it.
Much love from heart to heart,

A heartfelt thank you to every member of the Vaidyagrama family for making my stay a very pleasant and peaceful one. I am deeply grateful!

Dear Vaidyagrama,
I am giving the most heartfelt thanks to everyone here at this unique and inspiring place. I feel very lucky to have been able to spend some time here, where so much love and care is given on energy level. I have felt safe and looked after for my whole stay, and I am truly humbled by the dedication of all the staff and everyone who helps to manifest the vision here at Vaidyagrama. I feel like my eyes have been opened to a new way of living and for this I am so grateful. Thank you to every person here and I hope that Vaidyagrama continues to grow and flourish. I hope to come back again soon.

Thanks to all at vaidyagrama,
It is a beautiful place, guided by a beautiful vision, which it embodies. The beauty of the surroundings and care of nature matched by the generosity and kindness of the doctors and therapists, Dr. Dr.Ramadas warm manner, sunny smile and deep heartfelt chanting, Dr. Om’s radiance, cheerfulness, reverence and dedication, Dr Harikumar and Dr. Aruna’s gentle thoughtfulness, and the kind, constant work of the therapists were all gratefully appreciated! As are the wonderful satang offered by Dr.RamKumar and others. The snake puja was extraordinary! An extraordinary blessing. The spirit of discipline which is strong but also relaxed, leavened by a tough of flexibility and humor is wonderful. All of this set a context where the interactions between patients, also, are kind, supportive and mutually respectful, giving a possibility for solitude and community in proportions that work best for each one and create a sense of like minded souls and a large Vaidyagrama family spanning the globe. May we each take the many levels of healing we’ve received and spread that further into our worlds? I’m grateful also for the vision and practice of a truly holistic community, including and embracing the local villages, villagers, and the land. May this vision inspire us all and grow.
Thanks to all,

The Vaidyagrama Song
From Tim and Lee
Isn’t it warm?
Isn’t it cosy?
At Vaidyagrama
A port in a storm
Where the sunset is rosy
At Vaidyagrama

Leave stress behind
You must!
At Vaidyagrama
Come heal, unwind
and trust
In Vaidyagrama

No traffic, no trucks
And also no Starbucks
At Vaidyagrama

Like your food stewed, ya
Will love the cow puja
At Vaidyagrama

Om Om Prakash has a way with cattle
And his herbs can delay death’s rattle
At Vaidyagrama

What can it be, that’s sweeping the nation?
Where bucket of ghee are the medication!

Those that are cured
Have become quite inured
To Vaidyagrama
And they have ensured
That what they’ve endured
Stays at Vaidyagrama

But to get well
You go through some hell
So, cards on the table
Here”s my warning label…

Kashayam to start
Induces a fart
At Vaidyagrama

The buttermilk tea
Will cause you to pee
At Vaidyagrama!

Mosquitoes are few — not true!
At Vaidyagrama!

Don’t give them a squeeze, please
The cats carry fleas
At Vaidyagrama
Movement of bowels
With the roughest of towels
At Vaidyagrama

Nothing to do
But chew on bean stew
At Vaidyagrama

No workout, no Pecs — that’s bad
At Vaidyagrama
No yoga, no sex — that’s sad
At Vaidyagrama

No tennis, no ping-pong
But Thursday night sing-song
At Vaidyagrama

Despite what I say
You will still want to stay
At Vaidyagrama

From Paris to Perth
There’s no place on earth
That has a belief in
Whatever’s got a curry leaf in…?

Who cares if you can’t?
Do Sanskrit or Hindi
At Vaidyagrama

Still Dr.Ramadas will chant
And give you a bindi
At Vaidyagrama

Ramkumar’s daring mission is
As radical as nuclear fission is
That’s Vaidyagrama

So let’s…

Give him a hand
To buy up more land
At Vaidyagrama

Pass round the pot
Put a coin in the slot
For Vaidyagrama

Wave toddle look
To your short-sighted medic,
Knock down the brew
That is ayurveda…

Isn’t it warm?
Isn’t it cozy?
At Vaidyagrama

A port in a storm
Where the sunset is rosy
At Vaidyagrama

Prince or pauper, rancher, farmer
The only proper place for panchakarma
At Vaidyagrama

To all who make Vaidyagrama the extraordinary rare haven that it is:
It was our first visit. And we have come away enriched not just by the thoughtful and profound teachings of Ayurveda and the attentive ministrations of doctors and staff, but enriched by the beautiful friendship extended by you all. The warm spirit of the place is taken up by the patients and guests here, so that is a true comfort zone.
Many thanks for the new lease on life you have given us. We hope that Vaidyagrama will grow as fruitfully as the Chinese gooseberry that we were privileged to plant on our last day.

Vaidyagrama is a real model of practicing Ayurveda. Not only you had a beautiful vision of an ayurveda commune but you managed to manifest it! The energies and the resources pooled into the commune will take care of all the people in the community and that’s WONDERFUL! This is GRACE. It is my second PK at Vaidyagrama and each time I feel even more rejuvenated. You created a place so welcoming and satvic. Already looking forward to my next visit and for Kudi Pravashika.

I would like to thank everyone in Vaidyagrama for everything. This is a great example of a close knit family. How great it is in Vaidyagrama. Therapists are great and their dedication is highly appreciated. They are bringing up this community together and helping it grow faster. I have no words for the doctors. They are so humble and caring. Thanking them from my whole heart and they are big pillars for growing Vaidyagrama.
I am very happy that I came to the right place for treatment. I tried many medicines and got adverse effects from those medicines before coming to Vaidyagrama. Today, I am so excited that my treatment went well and I got a lot of energy. Once again “thanks” to Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Aruna for taking care professionally. I am sad that I am leaving but I am coming back next year for sure.
Thanks a lot

Dear Vaidyagrama Family, dear doctors, therapists, housekeepers, garden staff, kitchen staff, administrative staff and helpers and volunteers,
The great vision and the beautiful integral way of thinking, working and living together are uplifting and inspiring, and contribute a great deal to the healing process of all of us!
I was able to learn a lot, not only from the interesting (and joyful) satang, but also from the inspiring attitude, great care on many different levels in different ways. And the spiritual approach to dealing “with problems in life” may help us to forget the “I-me-mine-myself”—wonderful!
Thank you all
In gratitude and warm remembrance,

It was a joyful experience particularly with Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Harikumar who were so patient and had all the time in the world for us. It has been truly uplifting.

Dear Doctors,
We had a lovely time here and in order to continue the great work you are doing, we have a few suggestions to make:
—Doctors, please do not use your telephones during consultations
—If there could be silence during the treatments that would be beneficial, and no cell phones used
—At Balagrama medicine time was irregular. Meds should be given at the same time every day
—At times we are concerned for the hygiene and after the fifth canisters came back dirty
—Also have concern regarding how the medicines are prepared at Balagrama.
Sincerely,
Mary

I am grateful! At Vaidyagrama I got to live in a process of being present in a community where I let go of results and focused on experience. I felt embraced and welcomed by a staff that is caring, commited to my healing, non judgemental and available.
Before I left home I told everyone “there will be no contact from me or from them to me” Also my intuition was to trust ayurveda and trust the doctors to interpret that science.
Therefore my mind was quiet about the s and could focus on listening to myself and healing not only physically but emotionally, mental and spiritual.
I chose silence and to eat kanji good choice for me. I met wonder people and learned a lot.
The beauty of this place can be seen, felt and known.
I received for more than I expected and will be back.
Blessings

Dear Vaidyagrama family
Words cannot describe how I feel after 3 weeks of staying here.
It has been pure bliss. I feel like some sweet beautiful nectar has been pumped into me.
I feel rejuvenated and happy before coming here I was lost, depressed, everyday was hard to face. I even forgot how to smile, laugh to be myself.
Well, I have to thank you all the staff for their relentless dedication. They have so much of love in what they do that you can just feel it the good vibes.
There are so many things to enjoy and love here. I truly enjoy the morning and evening prayers, the pooja that was held on New Year Day. The sat sang were informative, garden walks, cooking classes OMG the list is endless. Ps the committer
I came here not knowing anything about ayurveda and I still don’t know much but it is definitely a good practice to heal their lifestyle and well being. It has changed my mind set for the better. I am determining to follow through.
I think I have come to paradise. Vaidyagrama embodies so much of love and care from the doctors, to the staff behind the scenes vision and mission. I think it is unique and so giving.
Lastly I would like to thank you my doctors who took exceptional care of me, Dr.Arundhathi (Going to miss you), Dr.Ramanandan, Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr.Ramadas, Dr.om,Dr.Anjali and Dr.Ramkumar (for giving me the best advice). Also thank you to all the therapists, Sajitha, likitha, Bindhu, Soumya, unnimaya, and all the rest gardeners, the cooks(who cook beautiful food), the amma who comes to clean my room everyday. I would like to thank Aparna my first point of contact, Geetha, Kavitha, Hakeem. If I have felt out anymore, I am sorry.
Well god bless all of you all for the great work you are all doing.
Love and kind regards

I feel it is beyond words to describe. This place is blessed with a lot of energy and it is all because of the dedication of the Vaidyagrama family.
I am thankful to all my doctors and therapists who have taken good care of me. I wish each one of you all the best and my God shower more blessings on this wonderful institution and give you strength to take it to the highest level.

Many many thanks to Vaidyagrama divine doctors and wonderful staff!
Very special thanks to the amazing professionals and wizards in their healing job—Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Aruna and Dr. Harikumar.
Moreover, we both feel an enormous gratitude to the soul of Vaidyagrama, Dr. Dr.Ramadas. He is not only a doctor sent to our planet earth by the Lord himself, but also the centre and the kindly blessing spirit of all social activities going on in the ideal atmosphere of our dear Healer’s House. Finally, he is just a warm friend, interested in the issues important to each of us—as well as an artistic personality in everything he does, be it lectures, singing, telling jokes or conducting prayers.
Many thanks to our therapists of Block 1 for their professional and caring hands.
Let all the AuERA living dreams come true!

Vaidyagrama is an oasis that I had imagined. A place that is based on authenticity, honesty, love, trust and all components functioning close to Nature as the Universe intended everything and all to be. I credit the doctors, therapists (Bindu was amazing! and so was Radhika, Unni and all others who I saw daily). This is a place I see myself retiring to. Thank you vaidyagrama for giving shape to my imagination. Every soul associated with Vaidyagrama (working here) is an example of piety, as they serve with authenticity. Wishing only the best for this organization. May ayurveda flourish and proved to the world that the five thousand year old science is still ever pervasive. Vaidyagrama is an integral part of this movement and hence I salute Punarnarva. Doctors, all of them, are fantastic. Thank you.
I am sure to return again and again. You have returned my peace, my health back to me and I am ever grateful.

I am feeling sad to leave the supportive environment here. I also feel very grateful to all the Vaidyagrama family. The light of consciousness here shines very brightly. It has uncovered the light of self inside of me that was hidden behind some big tomasic clouds before I came. What a precious gift!! God bless you all! Especially Laxmi my Mother and my sage illumined Dr. Harikrishnan for imparting skilled words of wisdom. All the wonderful therapists, Indu, Jameela, for your patience with my tears…. I leave much richer and stronger. The sat sang was especially precious…so much wisdom and authenticity. I pray you all receive 1000 fold what I have received.

Our first visit to Vaidyagrama and we were really pleasantly surprised, to say the least. Having been to other ayurveda centers in South India, we were definitely not expecting what we got. We came with some medical issues, bad eating habits, even worse living habits and stressed beyond repair (or so we thought!). Now leaving after a two-week stay completely relaxed, almost cured and spiritually enlightened. Something we really didn’t expect. Since it’s the teamwork that makes this place special it would not be fair to say thank you only to specific people. The doctors, the therapists, house-keeping staff, receptionists, gardeners, cooks, etc., etc, did an amazing job and we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts! Sincerely!!
The satsang opened channels in us we didn’t even know existed so thank you for that, too.
We look forward to coming back at the end of the year (have already made our booking!) and until then, we wish vaidyagrama all the best with the healing village as well as all the new ventures—Balagrama and AUEra. Projects we thing will definitely soar!
Love and best wishes,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
You all have taken care of me so well. I did not imagine it to be such a nurturing and loving environment. Thank you s much Devaki, Sasikala and Reshma for providing love and care from the bottom of my heart. Without the ultimate richness that Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Hari Kumar this place would not have been possible. Last of all, Dr. Ram Kumar whose talks (satang) were the most incredible experience and opening we all needed for this to work.
With all the blessing and love to all of you.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
Thanks for a great time of healing and retreat at this great place. What I like most was that all the doctors and people of Vaidyagrama are really living ayurveda and Sanatana Dharma.
There is so much bhakti and so much prana in everything.
I will come back! Thanks for everything.
I felt it was the best place on earth to be for my first panchakarma. I started to do Agni hotra and simple Lalita sahasranamam and was really happy to see that Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Om are doing this with so much devotion. Talks of Dr. Ram Kumar are uplifting! Lalu is funny and has a big heart! Dr. Aruna is so nice to see with Hakim and their little girl! A great place to be. So much inspiration for me!
Thank you!

The therapists and all the staff are friendly, kind, and giving. In addition to the great doctors’ care, treatments, and food, the activities here increase the power of the healing. In particular, the morning and evening prayers and fascinating satang give Vaidyagrama a unique spiritual character that will continue to inspire as I leave. I can’t wait for my next visit!

When I arrived I landed in “heaven.” My wish was to heal my inner child and the wounds it had carried on until today and which were showing on the physical level in the form of Leaking Gut Syndrome.
As a psychotherapist, this was a boundary that had not yet been “conquered.” It is difficult to reach out for a child of 1-2 years of age and its wounds it cannot speak about.
The oils, the special care, the time I had for myself without ever being pushed into anything I didn’t want helped to open an inner door that had been closed for fifty-five years. Gently and without drama it opened to free my heart.
I got more than I ever imagined I could ask for. This medicine is direly needed in the West.
Thank you all for your love, devotion, skill, care and help! With all my heart!

Vaidyagrama has opened up a whole new beautiful world for me!
All I knew about Ayurveda way that it involved popping herbal pills and getting massages to treat a disease and I have discovered here that there is a deep connection between mind and body and spirit and this discovery has lead to getting a glimpse of how I really am. I am so looking forward to exploring more of me through Ayurveda 🙂
Vaidyagrama is beautiful—the air is so fresh and the place has so much positive energy that I felt as though the air itself was releasing me of deep pain from my body and soul. Everyone here—the doctors, therapists, helpers, all are the epitome of compassion and kindness. I feel especially blessed to have had Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Hari Kumar personal attention and Devaki, sasikala, and Reshma continuous flow of love.
A special word of gratitude for Dr. Ram Kumar — Thank you for creating vaidyagrama. Without Your vision we wouldn’t have gotten this beautiful heaven on earth!
I especially felt enriched by morning and evening prayers, question and answer sessions with Dr. Ram Kumar and spiritual guidance from the doctors! I am definitely coming back. I feel I belong here.
Thank you Vaidyagrama Family!

That’s the exact feeling at being here. My staying has been as short as 10 days, putting the finger in the water and leave, what I really would like to do after these 10 days is coming back again and spread the word about this called vaidyagrama where kindness and respect is everywhere. Thank you to the sweet doctors Dr.Ramadas and Dr.Aruna with her beautiful daughter. Thank you to my therapists and to all working behind the scene are always ready to give a warm smile and taking picture with you!
I am very happy to have chosen this place thank you to my friend Madhav for suggestion. I keep learning a lot about myself due to the precious moment satsang hours during my 10 days stay. I leave with aheart full of gratitude. I learnt to stop not doing anything and that is perfect.

Special thanks to you. You assisted me as a doctor, a psychologist and a brother. I had many experiences with my monkey mind who was trying to create problems where there were none. All of you treated me good and with respect. I am convinced to stay on the spiritual track and be more healthy and (equilibrated)balanced.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
I am so grateful for the time I have spent here with you all. Since coming here, I’ve learnt a lot and been inspired to live a more focused and healthy life. Special thanks to Dr. Ramadas (you have taught me so much) and Dr. Aruna.
Kind regards,

I have loved my time here. From the very first day I felt totally safe, looked after (more than any other medical staff in England or my own family!!). I got treatment for things I didn’t even come here for!!!
Special thanks to my fabulous therapists—Shyni, Markesh, Indu and Belinda and my amazing doctors—Dr. Om, Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Kesari. I put my total trust in them and it paid off. I am leaving a totally different person than I came (well, they left the good bits!!) —physical and mental.
Dr. Asha gave amazing bastis — her quiet kindness and dignity I loved.
Loved my room, the building. I loved all the rituals/prayers/activities. The satsangs were amazing and unexpected. I learnt so much. I could stay another month and am planning a yearly visit. This is real Ayurveda — not a one stop shop. I got treatment tailor made to my condition not only generally but day to day. Amazing!! Great library. I will miss my life here and I’m sad to leave. I will be recommending Vaidyagrama to at least 10 friends. I hop this place grows and grows.
Love to all,

Dear Vaidyagrama family, all the wonderful people seen and unseen who worked silently to make my stay here so special,
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Dr. Ramadas for your smile, understanding and healing touch.
There are so many lovely things to list here but I’ll keep it short and say that my healing has been accelerated during my stay here.
The ambiance, spirituality and all the beautiful friends I made here.
My heart is full of gratitude.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
I thank my lucky stars for bringing me to this wonderful place which healed me as well as my soul. Being a medical practitioner who qualified in Bombay, I was familiar with Ayurvedic medicine and although I had intentions of learning informally, my life took me to the UK. I have been fighting RA from the age of 19 years and have adopted some Vedic philosophy of karma. After being here and reading on Ayurveda medicine for last six months, I just feel very proud to be Indian and feel invigorated to deal with my future karma with a smile on my face.
Vaidyagrama has lived beyond any expectation. The medical team is well trained, highly motivated and dedicated to their profession. We must all thank Dr. Ramkumar to have this vision and all the team members to implement it so successfully.
All the therapists, cleaning staff and the kitchen staff are very pleasant, kind hearted and make this journey so very comfortable. The ecologically friendly approach to the whole establishment is truly admirable.
My only regret is I have been here for only ten days but I will surely return.
God bless the members of the team.

Namaskar Vaidyagrama souls,
“Zu viel des Guten kann wundervoll sein” says the cover of this beautiful guestbook It roughly means “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.”
I truly feel that Vaidyagrama provides exactly that: “too much good.” Thank you all for your wise support and dedication to us patients and the healing science of Ayurveda.
I leave nourished and inspired and I am sure I will be back for an extended stay on day sooner or later.
Om namah shivaya and Auf Wiedersehen!
Shanti,

I am writing this with my left hand as I can’t write with my normal origin right hand due to the stroke. I have no words to thank Dr. Ramanandan. I am yet to see such humble medical practitioner with so much of dedication who puts in 100% to what ever he does. I am quite happy about the improvements I have got during my five-week stay. I shall look forward to coming back for further treatment in the future.

Dear doctors, Dear Geetha and Aparna, dear Vinod, Biju, Tony, Jameela, and Babitha Devi,
Having been here for the third and possibly last time, because my financial reserves are finished, I want to thank you so much for all your care and friendliness. The treatment has been excellent, I always liked the food and the rooms. I felt well almost all the time, that’s to say three times 3-4 weeks!
Two times the shirodhara together with the wonderful Indian flute and tabla music gave me a strong feeling of having been in heaven for and hour, a feeling I have never had before. Even if it were only for that, I told myself afterwards, the long journey from Austria was worthwhile.
I will not know earlier than June whether the extreme threat to my eyes for which I have come here will be stopped or decreased. But I felt strong and clear after some weeks when I came back home the two first times, and I am sure this will be the same now. I got rid of some other aches and pains. I could enjoy my life and be useful for others.
I appreciate very much your social engagement for the villages surrounding Vaidyagrama, especially for the kids and the old and sick being extremely poor. And I feel the blessing of the prayers and pumas. I learnt a lot in the satsangs. I will always recommend your place. Just a small reminder: Don’t trust the old patients coming here several times too much as their memory—we, as the new ones, have to be asked several times whether what we have understood from all the to do’s. Better repeat a question than “think he/she will know.”
All the best to every one of you. All the best for Vaidyagrama!

Thank you to each and everyone for the wonderful experience. It is a beautiful place, great ambiance, blissful. I only wish I had spent some more time at Vaidyagrama. I take this opportunity to thank my doctors and therapist Radhika. She has taken care of us very well, always with a smile.
My most favorite part of Vaidyagrama other than looking forward to lunch and dinner is yoga nidra.
Enjoyed my interaction with Dr. Ramkumar. I am taking home a box full of medicines and hoping my migraine would disappear and at the same time looking forward to visiting Vaidyagrama next year.
Thank you once again,

My heartfelt understanding of myself, an implicit part of the whole, has finally ended this trip! And it is because of the experience of life in the midst of everyone at Vaidyagrama. Not once has anyone said or done anything which was out of integrating with the larger context of the Whole. Not least of all Dr. Ramadas, whose daily reminders of the purpose of the life, have been so powerful. As were the actions of the whole place!! I have had the privilege to stay here! And I will look forward to the next time, with love, my enduring thanks,

It was just November of 2015 when I learned about Ayurveda and decided to come half way around the world on the trust that my health could be improved. Everyone at Vaidyagrama has met all my hopes, needs and taught me so much so I can continue the wonderful awesome care started here. I truly plan to return to volunteer at Balagrama. Thank you much to this wonderful start on my journey to health and peace.
Love to all,

At this poignant moment of departure, I recall some life-changing experiences here that I have so appreciated. From the wonderful “cultural” dinner evenings bringing together the community for global sharing, to the spontaneous offering of bright yellow blossoms by a bright-eyed gardener who quickly and silently ran off, and Goethe’s amazing inspirations of sea and community volunteerism, all experiences within this family have contributed to my health results at all levels. Special thanks Dr. Om and Dr. Harikrishanan, Dr. Arundathy for impeccable professionalism and care, and to Dr. Ramkumar for the gift of discrimination of being. All this and so much more will continue to live in my heart as an example of ideal living. Thank you, one and all.

I have had the most incredible, uplifting, healing experience here at Vaidyagrama. All the doctors, therapists, housekeeping staff, gardeners, chef and kitchen staff, admin people and everyone else that I have forgotten to mention have been truly wonderful, caring, genuine, loving and welcoming. I feel my health has improved beyond all expectations, and will continue to do so with all the amazing treatments, medicines, lovely food, advice and spiritual guidance I have received. I have made great connections and many friendships with all the lovely guests who have been with me on our journeys into the world of Ayurveda and beyond. I want to say a very very special thanks to Dr. Ramadas (you have taught me so much), Dr. Aruna (for being so lovely). I hope to return Next year.
Thank you all so much, with love

Another inning has come to a close and with that time to say GOODBYE—which I hate.
Having spent a month bonding and integrating into a community. So edifying and uplifting that global leaders need to come together at Vaidyagrama to let down their hair, open their minds, draw strength from the surroundings and make the world a livable place once again!!!
I don’t know how to express my heartfelt thanks to the cast and crew at “Vaidyagrama”—they have taught me to laugh heartily, given ineffable happiness and little Saadivi for lighting up our hearts with joy with her infectious giggling.
So long everybody, take care and a Big God Bless!

Dear vaidyagrama family
Thank you so much for the past four weeks, i surely enjoy my time here and i’m so grateful for the amazing Doctors and Therapists as well as all the other staffs. Everyone was always friendly and smiling.
I came here looking for something that I couldn’t find anywhere, so far on all my travels and I’ve finally the feeling I found out what that was letting go off many things that didn’t serve me anymore and finding the inner peace. And feeling relaxed and calm and I’m enjoying each moment fully pleasant! I have come a long way in a short time and I’m proud of myself finally acknowledging who I’m.
I love this place, the peace and silence and the amazing people I’ve met here. Even though I sociable very little. This place has given me so much and I feel very grateful that i had chance to spend so much time here, I feel very healthy, grateful and blessed, just being alive and enjoying the simple things. Who could have wished for more?
Thank you so much Dr. Ramanandan for the cooking lesson I surely will try this once. I have a house to call home again, thank you Dr. Anjali for your patience and smile.

Where do I even begin? I suppose first I’d like to thank all the staff that have made this reality come true.
This place has truly changed me as i am sure it has done for many before me. I have learned some great lessons about myself and best of my relationship during my time here. I came despondent, clouded and anxious but am leaving clear conscious and understand of what tomorrow may bring.
I know this is only the first step in my rehabilitation, but I can certainly say it has been the most significant. I will be in touch very soon to update all of you on my progress. This is not good bye, only till we meet again

Thank you for creating such an amazing and well balanced environment for healing and relaxation. I have learned a lot about myself the human mind and the body in my 3 weeks here.

I am grateful for the seed of healing that has been planted in my being, and will work to continuously water the plant and transform it into a powerful tree.
I will heal, and I am healed

This was a fascinating experience for me. I reached Vaidyagrama solely based on idea i had read on the website, but I had feeling that this was the right place for me. I spent weeks here and i am very glad I did.
I was not initially comfortable but i put my full faith on Dr. Harikrishnan and his team, including Dr. Kesari and Dr. Omprakash
I definitely feel more energetic, calmer and rested. The therapist did a wonderful job as did other staff members including cleaning and maintenance. Things are no perfect but staff members are willing to clean and adjust or change accordingly. Dr. Ramkumar satsang were always educational and inspiring.
The Morning Prayer lead by Dr. Ramadas was helping and I really enjoyed Dr. Harikrishnan soothing evening prayers.
The other important fact that here is the environment itself – it’s a peaceful filled with lots of plants, fruits and air of no pollution.
I met so many wonderful people from all over the world- interesting, intelligent, friendly and entertaining people. I was like being amongst friends that i had known for years, not days.
I wish all of the Vaidyagrama patients and staff the very best for health and happiness and continued success for their unique and fruitful healing village

I’ve now completed three weeks at vaidyagrama and man do I feel great!
I still remember the first day I arrived. i was greeted by an extremely happy Dr. Ramadas who was to be one of my Ayurveda doctors for the healing journey i was about to embark on.
The weeks flew by as I began to feel lighter in my physical and emotional health. There is an aura and energy at vaidyagrama that allows you to feel this feeling of ever present support and nurturing.
The great big smiles from all the staffs from the doctors to the therapist, to the front desk, and to the cleaning staff made me realize that to be alive is a thing of joy. While here i found the answers too many questions I’ve had. My time in silence gave space to allow thoughts and feelings to surface which had been buried for many years. My time out of silence allowed to meet the most amazing people who gave me insight no years has been able to. I’d have to say I will be forever grateful for my time at vaidyagrama.
My friends and family have told me that I look more vibrant than ever before and that there is a glow on my face. So for that I want to thank the vaidyagrama family, it’s because of you that my health and happiness has been taken to the next level.
Love,

To Dr. Arsha for her constant support and friendship and teaching me how to dress well.
To Dr. Ramkumar for his inspiration.
To Dr. Ramadas for his beautiful prayers, the always present twinkle in his eye, and for asking me to find vaidyagrama lay and open a door.
To Dr. Omprakash and his beautiful family who is already much missed.
To Aparna for her virtual hand holding in getting me safely here. To all the staff who made my rooms so comfortable, my nourishment appropriate and for keeping vaidyagrama flourishing truly wonder at how many people are taking such good care of us.
To vaidyagrama that magically offers profound space and time to be with my time self and learn.
And heartfelt gratitude to all the therapists for their skill and caring. To Shiny and Sreelakshmi for their youth and strength. To Jameela for her beautiful saris and her smile.
And to Lakshmi who I have known for many lifetimes, who cared for me like a loving mother, who shared her friendship and deeply nourished my body, mind and soul, as Dorothy in THE WIZARD OF OZ said, ‘I think I’m going to miss you most of all scare crow’
Coming to vaidyagrama was a net of hope. Engaging at vaidyagrama was a leap of faith. My experience at vaidyagrama was transformative.

I completed twenty days at vaidyagrama today. I feel rested and relaxed with the treatments and life style.
I came here after trying many other types of medication and leave with hope to recover fully from my health problem. It has been a positive experience with good care from the therapists.
Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Aruna. Each one made me feel comfortable and helped me at any time i needed. I am grateful for their dedication and time.
My thanks to whole vaidyagrama team especially Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Aruna, Shyni.
I suggest to have some other activities besides satsang and pujas for the who may wish to do so. Meditation, light yoga or anything else.

My experience at vaidyagrama
Coming to vaidyagrama has been truly enriching and wonderful experience ; the layout of the healing village itself is designed like a retreat. It has been an exhilarating and therapeutic experience, just walking every morning along the perimeter of the healing village.
I am extremely thankful to Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Ramkumar kutty for all their support, advice and guidance during the course of my stay here. All of the other doctors including Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Kesari, Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Omprakash have been very helpful and encouraging as well. Truly and enjoyed.
I have loved being part of the daily morning prayers and evening prayers during my stay at vaidyagrama all of the treatments offered to me whilst love, were very professionally executed and have been treated me immensely through my healing journey here.
I take back home fond memories from vaidyagrama. I feel much better than when i came here, and am determined to continue on the healing journey, that I have commenced as here.
Until again, with lots of love

Although i have been at vaidyagrama now 3 weeks I have not actually during treatment but being support for Leisa who has been going through intense healing experience. I myself have through this have been able to focus on my spiritual sadhana and hope that my presence has been a positive aspect to the many staff here. Chanting the Guru Gita in the mornings and lifting spirit through the grace of my beloved gurudev bhagawan Nityananda has been an amazing time, of course the presence of Dr. Ramadas and the healing team cannot put words to it. As Leisa wrote we are looking forward to the Ramdas Down under to in 2018 and ope we can raise funds towards charity work of vaidyagrama. To everybody here my blessings and love, may joy and bless fill your hearts and your families

A massive thank you to all the staff here at vaidyagrama. Especially to Dr. Ramadas who alwaya took time for me to explain and keep my spirits high. To my 4 therapists you were amazing and helped me feel better when i was really not well. The cleaners and ground staff and admin – all do amazing job. Loved that there are babies and cats and dogs in this place, i really took comfort in the animals at times. Starting to plan for the Dr. Ramadas’ Down under tour’ in 2018. Thanks again for helping me to heal and set me on a positive path into the future. I look forward to letting you all know how I beat what the western medicine give up on.

Dear vaidyagrama team,
I am glad to have spent 4 weeks here, soaking up the loving, caring, healing atmosphere, credited by the wonderful staffs, Dr’s. I think it has been the experience for a lifetime for me. As I leave I feel more relaxed, more healthy and enriched by the educational , spiritual guidance received. My Dr’s Ramanandan, Anjali, Krishnadas, have been fantastic. The therapists gentle, skilled.
On an outing to Coimbatore i fell and fractured my shoulder. Dr. Ramanandan came to my rescue, stuck with me for 6 hours in hospitals until everything was sorted because of him Dr. Ramkumar, the night discussions were made, for my shoulder and I will be forever grateful for them . Thank you.
Also grateful to Dr. Ramanandan for his brilliant idea to cut one shoulder of my tops. Few buttons there so I could dress myself.
Thank you everyone
Best wishes and luck for the future

Coming to vaidyagrama is the best thing i could have done for my health.
I am very grateful to have had this opportunity to come here and experience this healing.
Thank you to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Anjali and Dr. Krishnadas for all your expertise and kind consideration and coming. Thank you also to the therapists and the staff who always have a smile. Having this peaceful place, surrounded by kinds of goodness, has been a chance to retreat from the world and just be with myself which is a healing in itself. (4 weeks) I wish all the very best for the future of vaidyagrama and all the people works and visits here.

3 weeks before coming to this place i did not even know this place and that I felt what i needed. I simply wanted a secure place for a complete STOP. And food care on top. I did not come for ayurveda but i could taste silence again. And not doing it was not easy to stay there simply comfortable in and with myself but i reconnected with this space. Fromthe beginning felt thankful for the aesthetic in four columns, spaciousness – luxury!!! Taste!

How to open my gratitude? I have considered my body as a temple. I have to take care of it! This knowledge passed from the intellectual concept to a physic sensation! Especially with my therapists Jameela and Babitha. They were attentive with lot of respect for my body – Thanks a lot!!
All the organization contributes to create a place where people can experiment a “new” way of life. Thank you to my doctors for satsang, for the prayer, the food and the laundry, housekeeping and so….. MERCI!!
I wish you the best you want.

Dear vaidyagrama thanks, Thank you very much for your attention and care. Thank you to everyone for creating a healing space like this. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and the treatments. Therapists work round the clock, my big thank you to each of them. Thank you to Dr. Ramadas for sharing his wisdom. I would really like to recommend some more activities (like yoga, have an option to eat in dining area) other than satsang and pooja.

Dear Vaidyagrama
I saw you when everything was bare and I see you now.
Congratulations to all of you who made this happen. The accommodation is really good compared to a lot of Ayurveda hospitals. The belief and effort on your part was terrific.
Dr.Harikrishnan is a caring doctor whose insight goes way beyond book knowledge. I was in good hands.
The pantry staffs evenings and mornings was erratic on some days. But this is minor. May help if certain things mundane this was routed through other channels and the doctors could focus on medical staff. Bell ringing in room gets too intense and rings etc.
I would have liked a few more options and activities and an extra plug point in the balcony area (Was sorted with an extension board, thanks)
My prayers and best wishes to vaidyagrama.
Thank you guys for everything.

When I started looking places to experience (Ayurveda Panchakarma), had very specific things that was looking for which involved more than just a physical treatment. I decided to come and check out this place (Initiative instincts I guess).
As soon as I walked in to the doors of vaidyagrama I knew I made the right decision. I just felt “Right”.
During the course of 24 days I felt very happy, calm and content. I felt that I am at right place, doing right things for my body, mind and soul.
I felt extreme pleasure being around very nice and courteous human beings. This place proved to me that language is no barrier for spreading love and joy.
I also loved the fact that now everything and everyone is in harmony with each other.
I leave tomorrow but I feel this is not the end but a beginning for something very beautiful and amazing. Vaidyagrama hosts multiple events.
I realized that I did not realize the significance of those activities and missed few of them.
It will be great to know the details and significance so that I can make a conscious effort to attend the ones that I missed this time.
Until next time – stay blessed and happy. Sending positive very positive thoughts to everyone and wishing happy and prosperous life.

This is the third visit of mine to vaidyagrama. Three years back, I slipped and had a leg injury. I took treatment at Mumbai and Pune but could not get relief. Then I came to vaidyagrama and I got lot of relief and hence I came continuously for three years.
The doctors and staff of vaidyagrama are very cordial and looked after me very well. I pray to lord almighty, that vaidyagrama prospers and its name and fame reach for and wide. Many vaidyagrama will come up in India and abroad.

I am very happy to be at vaidyagrama. This place is like an ashram and therefore like home to me. I talked to Dr.Ramkumar and others and got some idea regarding founding principles and philosophy behind the conception of this project and how this dream materialized in so short a time.
I am very amazed and pleased to know all this and would recommend every one coming at vaidyagrama to learn about this. For example, I learnt that traditionally in Ayurveda, doctors and patients lived in the same place and this has been implemented in vaidyagrama.
As a result, the doctor and their interaction with patients is of a much superior quality than other similar institutions. Satsang with doctors is another wonderful feature, which helps patients to understand doctors and Ayurveda at different levels.
Another thing, which is worth mentioning is related to money. Vaidyagrama naturally charges for the treatment provided, the attitude of the people here is not commercial but very service-oriented.
One scope for improvement is in the area of English language skills of therapists and other staffs

From the minute I walked through the front door, I felt the positive energy here! Over my 21 days journey, the staffs have been more like family to me and I have felt that each one genuinely cared about my well being. The beautiful staff always had a smile for me and it is clear that they love what they do here. Things I liked about vaidyagrama.
Pretty much everything but my favourite ritual had to be morning prayers with Dr.Ramadas, what an amazing way to start and finish the day. The love that bellows out of Dr.Ramadas during his morning practice is so contagious that you cannot help but start your day with joy! Apart from the sessions with my fantastic therapists, Morning Prayer was up there with my favourite things here at vaidyagrama!
A big thank you to the ladies, who cleaned my room and smoked out the mosquitoes, thanks to the gardeners (wow! Great job they do too), the lovely man care takes and turns the lights on and off day, the ladies at the front desk, all in the stores, laundry and a special big thank you for the kitchen staff who cooked the lovely nourishing food every day (Yum!) that helped me get well. Thank you to everyone else in the back ground. I am grateful to you all and you will be in my heart for ever.
Apart from the staff, I met some amazing like minded people who I believe will be friends for many years to come.
Over all my experience has been great and I am happy with my outcome!
Would recommend vaidyagrama to every one!
Thank you Vaidyagrama!

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
I was profoundly touched and delighted with your warm welcome, kindness and excellent care that you offered me every minute of stay here. It is truly a blessing to have experienced life in a place like this where peace, love, respect, friendship, kindness and support forms the building blocks for a community that heals minds of bodies of each and every patient.
Thanks to all therapists especially Shyni, Bindhu, Sindhu, Devi and Mythili. Thanks to all the staff who was more than helpful. Thanks to Dr.Ramadas, Dr.Harikumar, Dr.Aruna and Dr.Krishnadas for skilful medical support and guidance. I feel a lot better now than when I arrived here one month ago. Thanks to all of you. Also thanks to Dr.Ramkumar and Dr.Kesari for wonderful knowledge. I will surely stay in touch and visit again. I will also continue to recommend this place to my friends and clients in my soon-to-be-opened Ayurveda practice.
Who know may be we will co-operate more in the future.
I would love to come such as a student too!
Suggestions
Invest in language training for therapists
Leave leaflet with virechana instructions to patient(Water drinking, what is not allowed etc) on the day of procedure

Treatment were effective, we wish we could stayed longer to heal completely.

I am eternally grateful to have received the opportunity to come to Vaidyagrama and for the care and support during my 3 month stay.
I feel as though my words cannot properly convey the gratitude that resides in my heart towards my experience here.
I have no idea of the transformation I was to go through when coming here…
With great patience and wisdom, the Doctors that were in charge of my care allowed me the space and consistency to heal all of me, not just my body.
Thank you to my Doctors Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Kesari and Dr.Arsha – I would not have been able to last if it was not foe the support and understanding I received from you – each in your own ways. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Also a big thanks to my therapists(Sreelakshmi and Babitha), the ladies at the front desk, the ladies at reception, Keerti, Dr.Krishnadas, the cleaning staff, the man who turns on the lights in the evening so we can see where we are going, all the Doctors(Of course), the laundry staff and volunteers… each and every single person that plays their very important role in the running and care of Vaidyagrama everyone at Balagrama too
A few suggestions:
Sell a medicine tumbler (+ accessories – mortar, small bowl etc) with the Vaidyagrama logo on it(We are to take medicines when leaving here so would be both functional and a wonderful souvenir)
Sell an Ayurveda cook book with recipes used at Vaidyagrama
Sell a Vaidyagrama postcard

This place is like a dream! I would not be where I am today without each of you.
Thank you for having me and thank you for being!
With utmost respect and a place in my heart,
Much love

Second time visit! I am very happy to see familiar faces and to be treated with same main doctor. Many thanks to Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Arsha and Dr.Kesari and therapists – Lakshmi, kalpana, indu and Jameela and the house keeping – senbagam and mallika. I am very grateful that doctors and therapists responded to my complaints, irritations and requests with great patients. The housekeeping kept my room clean and tidy. All of your hearty team work kept me going through treatments comfortable and pleasant.
I love Satsangs, prayer and activity. It is very meaningful and useful for mental care and educational purposes.
I am also very happy to see the prosperity of Vaidyagrama community new staff, new temple promotion of various volunteer projects. I have been telling my friends about Vaidyagrama, my authentic ayurveda experiences.
Suggestions
Mantra or music during treatments
Burning incense or aroma in treatment room also would be nice
I am looking forward to my next visit
All the therapists I met here are very friendly and caring, as Lakshmi is the one taking care of me most of time. Special thanks to her being there. Her caring makes I feel hearty and homely.
To all the therapists who joined in my treatments. Your healing hands ease my pain and make me happy from inside out.
Thanks to the sweet and lovely girl, kanaka (in the front desk)
She is very generous to share her precious jasmine with me.
Thanks to gardening, food preparation and all the staff.

This is a truly magical place from a long last past. I did not realize such a place existed. In a world where this therapy is needed more than ever, it is a gift. Thank you to everyone who has made vaidyagrama a reality.
Some suggestions:
Make the animals a more accepted part of the family – Dogs, Cats, Cows
Cows need a gate and preferably another paddock or two so they do not need to stand tied up all day
All the animals should be fixed and the staff should be introduced to them so they are not afraid. Tiger and Pluto should be taken out each day and all the animals should have regular meals.
An effort should be made to not interrupt treatments once they begin. Supplies should be kept in each room so it is not necessary to go into an occupied room. After 3 or 4 interruptions the treatment is much less effective and the patients can leave more agitated than relaxed.
Therapists in my opinion should focus on treatments and other help should be arranged for preparing and delivering food and medicine. Protect your therapists. They are a blessing, (except the ones who mindlessly chatter) are at the heart of this place.
A small cultural difference – some rooms (306) always have wet mops, rags etc hanging or laying to the trees and it is distracting to try and focus on your food and not stare at the mops.
Great experience! Many thanks –
Annie and Gopalika,

English lesson for therapists
Respect for googly dog who found this place and made it his home. He helps us heal
Please walk two dogs in cage
Build walk way that is covered to temple, so we are not tempted to sneak out there. It is wonderful temple. Make it possible for us to go.
For children’s home swings and slide and trampoline
Small house for family by school to stay. Good for school English.
Cooking classes! MORE and they should be Ayurveda
Value older therapists. They are better in my opinion best if they live here in village and have family.
New comer patients tell them about contents of bag daily program
Explain about not going out. (Nobody told me..)
Make poster for feeding old ill people – explaining how one can donate to chart.
Explain that heal for 100 people is a nice birthday present for a family member or relative or friend.
Make small certificate for birthday date and donation amount
Gardening – water plants in late afternoon not Midday sun or early
Massages especially oil pouring on head, no talking to much
Better ask person if they want music or not
Cleaning – wipe tables with water
Please massage harder!

To all the staff and doctors at Vaidyagrama
I am very grateful for this opportunity to experience a true healing Ayurveda environment.
It was inspiring to see your collective vision come together to create such a natural, positive healing community.
we physician in the West may think we know a lot about the science of healing but we clearly have a lot to learn from all of you about the art of healing.
This experience was enriching to me on so many levels and professionally it helped me view nutrition from a different view point; personally it helped me to calm and open my mind and spiritually it reconnected me to the wonders and wisdom of the land of my birth.
I cannot thank the staff and doctors enough especially Dr Ramadas Dr Krishnadas and Dr Ramkumar and amazing shiny for all their care and concern.
we are all so grateful to Hakeem for his attentive care and bhagyam, baby for keeping our room so clean.
With deepest gratitude

Today is my 37th day on this 4th Life Of Mine. I had done 3 weeks strips in 2011 13 and 2015. Vaidyagrama has become like Home and it feels better with each trip. This time I have even started enjoying the kanji which is all I had for those 5 weeks.
The doctor, Therapist, housekeeping staff and ladies tending to the Garden always have a smile.
The positive attitude of all here adds to the healing process.
Have had a number of my chronic ailments cured, I am confident that any other minor or serious condition will be addressed.
I have enjoyed my time here, and look forward to my next visit. For the first time, my wife joined me for two weeks and enjoyed her experience. Will both be back?
Thank you all for making our stay comfortable and helping with our cure.

Respected Vaidyagrama
A Heaven on the earth. Yes really I got the physical as well as mental ointment from here. A place where we only hear the sounds of birds and leaf which cures a lot.
The Therapist are the sacred person who have the at most tolerance and care. It is a great pride to Vaidyagrama which trains them likewise. Here I got the help from the Therapist of Miss. shiny Mol, Vaishnavi and shiny, fit person to comfort for the patients.
The doctors are really they are the mobile gods, who Serve us, whenever and wherever we need their help.
They not only provide us the physical fitness as well as mental and spiritual fitness. Doctors Mr. Ramadas and Mrs. Aruna helped and guided a lot for our well being with their advice and caring
i relieved from all the pain.
5 years before I came here with several spinal cord problems that was cured by Vaidyagrama specially.
With that hope I came here again and got a complete cure. But this time, with myself my husband also refresh him. Thus he felt some sort of relief.
This way I and my whole family salute Vaidyagrama.
Thank you

My wife and I are so very pleasantly surprised at how wonderful Vaidyagrama is. we don’t know if we should call it as a hospital, health Spa, Resort or just nature experience.
The ground and buildings are thoughtfully laid out.
The staffs, all of them, are so pleasant and helpful.
The doctors are knowledgeable and caring.
It is absolutely a healing atmosphere.
Thanks to all of you and look forward to our next visit.
As good as the hospital experience is it really impressive to learn about your feeding 100 people every day, balagrama and teaching the villagers around.
This healing centre is truly authentic i have never found anywhere else.
How one should live and life should be experienced is a vision that can be truly realised here.
Thank you

Dear Vaidyagrama
It was totally a different experience at Vaidyagrama. I feel relaxed and stress free now anyhow it was difficult for both of us to stay here for first 2 days.
Then I feel the changes in my body and the way the medicines reacted to pull out all vitiated doshas from my body.
The experience I gathered from here, the Peaceful environment, all the greenery around, the beautiful peacocks, the Marvellous rains,clouds and the thunderstorm -all were amazing.
The time to time treatment and the intake of medicine and the accurate scheduled a routine of the lifestyle and diet.
I am really thankful to the Dr. Ramadas Dr Aruna, Dr Krishnadas and the therapist shiny mol and Jobin.
Yet I am really thankful to Dr. Ramadas for tolerating my questions and doubts and answering it all.
Talking and discussing all my problems to Dr Aruna, I felt really open and free with her.she is really down to earth and amazing person.
Though I was not that much interact with Dr Krishnadas I think is a calm person with pleasing smile.
The Therapist shiny mol and Vaishnavi were really helpful and have done a great job in accompanying in my free hours and helping me in taking medicines.
Jobin in is also there for helping my husband and taking care of them well.
Thank you

Dear Vaidyagrama
It was a wonderful experience for me and my wife at Vaidyagrama.
I have been visiting Dr Ramadas for nearly 1 year for consultation.
Though I was not convinced about alternative medicines, it was my friend Mr Vikram who had Advised me to visit Vaidyagrama consult the doctor and then decide whether to give Ayurveda try.
I was convinced during my first visit and consultation with Dr Ramadas that it is a worth taking a break from a regular Lifestyle and subject yourself to here.
Vaidyagrama environment under the care of Dr. Ramadas and is team I was amazed by the way my body has responded to the treatments.
I am sure that allopathic can never provide you with a healthy treatment.
I realise the importance of our mind body and Soul which I have been ignoring for the past 33 years.
I have learnt from Dr Ramadas how one should treat this mind, body and Soul without compromising your daily routine. I Thank Dr Ramadas and his team for the care, love and affection showed on us during our stay.
My special thanks to our Therapist Mr Jobin and shiny who take care of us very well.
Thank you

Dear All at Vaidyagrama
Countless thanks and gratitude for the space that you provide here. It has been a blessing to stay here and undergo this experience with your genuine care and support.
Such a large and inspiring experiment this is, that is carried out in an authentic way with attention for the bodies, mind and spirits of each and every patient.
You have created a place in nature for one to go through whatever is required to sweep the being clear and leave with physical, mental and spiritual fortitude.
It may not always be easy or what one expects, but this is an easy space to surrender into the vast support and notice the change, and the benefits.
Thank you Thank you Thank you

This has been a short 9 day stay but a very nice experience.
I am new to Ayurveda and this experience has sparked an interest to learn more about this Lifestyle.
The village you have created is simply beautiful and in harmony with nature.
I had a very relaxing comfortable stay I appreciate; admire this project and all the help that is given to the surrounding communities.
I want to thank all the staff of Vaidyagrama who they all very sweet and caring specially Dr Harikrishnan, Dr Arsha and Lakshmi who took care of me thank you to Madhav Anand for recommending me to this wonderful place.
My suggestion would be to offer some gentle yoga classes and chanting and also to be provided with more information regarding the treatment process what it’s about, how it works, the medicine used etc Thank you

Dear vaidyagrama
This whole idea of having a hospital in between a forest is just breathtaking.
The pure natural form of Ayurveda meditation and other restrictions have got us into leading a more disciplined and a simple Lifestyle with a basic food habits.
The prayers performed diligently at the perfect time are very piece giving.
The surrounding are something that I could have just dream off.
I also learned that there are a lot of people who believe in and do a lot of philanthropy.
But all of the drove would not have been possible without all the doctors and their personal attention to us, the always loving and smiling staff and helpless and of course the treatment one receives to kill oneself.
Thank you all

Dear Vaidyagrama
I thank you all for your support, kindness and passion that made this experience possible for me. I knew as soon as I walked into this environment that I had embarked on a life changing journey.
The realities of my past and worries about my future had always hindered me from living my life peacefully in the present.
Thanks to the healing of Vaidyagrama I now have the tools to embrace this amazing gift of life.
The peacefulness of this healing centre allowed me to step away from my everyday norms and look from the outside in at the infinite
Amount of options and possibility this life has to offer.
Physically I feel healthier than I ever have in my adult life. Mentally I feel more aware than ever.
On a spiritual level I feel more embraced from the universe than I ever thought possible.
I know have got a long way to go and to grow on this journey but this opportunity has reignited me with joy for this adventure.
I thank everyone here that has made Vaidyagrama what it is. From the staff to the patient you have all contributed to my healing and words cannot explain how grateful I am.
The special thanks to the Therapist especially Lalu who helped me cleanse my body and bring me into the state of health.
You have all become friends that I am proud to have known.
Every doctor here has shared their wisdom and friendship that made this possible for me and all of their patients.
To Dr. Krishnadas, thank you so much for a genuine concern on daily basis.
You helped remind me every day that I was in good hands and being thought of and cared for.
Dr Ramadas, I sincerely thank you for challenging me through my stay.
You had confidence in my ability to better myself, when I didn’t think it was possible you have a true gift of providing your patients with faith and confidence in themselves while remaining calm and patient.
Your positivity has been a huge encouragement and I thank you for it
the only suggestion I would have is to teach more yoga and meditation.
As a beginner in those fields along with Ayurveda medicine my mind and body grew restless while trying to adapt.
The library is great and luckily I was able to educate myself on ways to save my body and mind through yoga and meditation with your books.
Thank you all

It was an excellent experience of having my revival at Vaidyagrama.
Some suggestions for improvements are (not faults or complaints!)
Food needs not to be spicy but a little tasty. Now most items are tasteless. So when the mind is not happy, since the sense is not happy and assimilation into the body becomes difficult.
It is a great thing that in the wee hours of morning Vishnu Sahasra Nama and at dusk Lalita Sahasra Nama are chanted in the in-home temple.
But if the sound of such chanting can be reduced- to be audible inside the temple hall only it would be better that way.
People who want to listen the Chant can come to the temple.
We are not forcing this on all.
True to your own commitment at dawn and dusk all can listen to the birds and crickets etc. the nature’s sound and silence without man-made sounds.
Any Mantra Japa has maximum powers when it is chanted mentally with silent lip movements.
All the above are just suggestions. I had taken such treatments from many such places. This was my second best Ayurveda experience.

To the Vaidyagrama team,
I came here 35 days ago with anxiety and fear of being in an unknown place with just my mom to accompany me. I can’t believe that I’ve become wiser in the area of Ayurveda. Doubts still crop up but I get answers whenever I ask the doctors. I only wish that people who work here at Vaidyagrama also trust and accept Ayurveda medicine as much as the patients do.
I am still in the process of healing but would like to extend my gratitude to my doctor, Dr. Harikrishnan as well as the other doctors who I consulted with especially, Dr. Arundhati (always had a smile on her face), Dr. Arsha and Dr. Kesari. My therapists, Indu, Vidya, Kalpana, Lakhsmi, Anitha, Shiny, Shiny mol, Reshma and Pradeep – A big thank you to all of you for making my stay here as pleasant as possible.
Until next time,

Dr. Ramanandan, you’re a lovely person and maybe we have met before as you once said. Who knows? Anyway, look after yourself. I’ll see when I get some cash!

To all at Vaidyagrama,
We are at a loss of words to describe the absolute peace we felt while at Vaidyagrama. It really is a home away from home. All the staff always so polite and we felt so safe being in the competent hands of Dr. Harikrishnan. Though I grumbled about the food it was surely in a good natured way and knew it was definitely a big part of the treatment.
Dr. Arsha and Dr. Arundhati were always there when we needed them. All the therapists were very good. Special mention must be made of Lakshmi amma who was very competent. A very big thanks to all at Vaidyagrama particularly to Dr.Ramkumar, Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr Ramadas who are behind this wonderful place.

My stay here was indeed an experience- a first of its kind. The doctor, therapists were all very understanding, accommodating and professional.
The support staff is very co-operative and helpful at all times.
The treatment per se was first class! The entire process was executed in a red traditional manner and the effects are showing!
The location and the peaceful surroundings did add up to mental peace which only nature can provide.
My special thanks to Dr. Ramadas for his heartfelt treatment and wish him and his entire team the very best in life.
And finally my interaction with the “guests” here has embedded pleasant memories.
Wishing Vaidyagrama and all of their ventures a great success.

Just before entering the Vaidyagrama door I saw Dr. Ramadas coming on a motorcycle and smiling at me. I was getting out of the cab and my journey- treatment started with that lovely smile.
I say journey because this place and Ayurveda is not only 2-3 weeks treatment. It is a life science and all of the staff and doctors carry this message to the patients very well.
Lovely, peaceful, family atmosphere is everywhere and till the end you can feel that.
I’m also amazed with how dedicated Dr Ramadas and his team of doctors and therapists to their work. It’s very respectable and decent attitude of helping the village people, giving prayers to patients and at the same time at the temple.
I also want to Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Aruna answering all of my silly questions.
Last night I shared a quote with my quote and I would like to end my long treatment with that J
Perfect balance!
“The guiding principle of Ayurveda is that the mind exerts the deepest influence on the body and freedom from sickness depends upon contacting our own awareness beginning it into balance and then extending that balance to the body.
Thank you very much for helping me to achieve that.

Om!
What a peaceful and beautiful place! Well done!
All the staff members were very friendly and generally very efficient.
I would like to suggest the following-
A ‘patient’ should be initially informed about the reasons for the simple and bland diet.
‘Quiet voices’ or silence should be maintained in all areas.
There should be a ‘live’ voice instead of a recorded audio for Yoga Nidra meditation.
The abundance of flies to be addressed.
Overall I feel very revived and centered– physically, mentally and emotionally.

Staying at Vaidyagrama was one of the best things that happened to me in life. To start with, I have to thank the doctors. Each one of them always had a smile on their face and was eager to help in anyway they can. They never mocked at our ignorance about Ayurveda, but explained in detail when we questioned things. I learnt a lot and am glad I did. To add to this experience, Vaidyagrama has a great team of people, always ready to help with a smile on their face. It feels like I was part of a great joint family here. The best part of was the environment, the trees, the plants, flowers, gentle breeze, clean rooms and just about everything. On the whole,
Vaidyagrama is like a home faraway from home!!

Baby, Archana, Bindu, Dr. Krishna das, Dr. Aruna and Dr. Ramadas I have so much gratitude and respect for each of you. Your smiles, patience and care made my time at Vaidyagrama very relaxed and restful. I have never been asked to relax so fully. That was a gift that will remain with me and that I will hopefully continue to gift to myself with Vaidyagrama spirit renewed in my heart.
I also want to thank all of you many people who were not in my daily life but made my time here so welcoming- Aparna, Dr. Ramkumar, the front desk crew, the kitchen team and the gardeners.
You have created a very special place here, which is radiating out into the world healing and healed bodies, minds and souls. Hats off and a deep now of gratitude to your vision and daily (day to day) energy invested in us, me and this space.

My stay in Vaidyagrama has been a unique experience; from the health point of view. Vaidyagrama healing village is located in a typical village environment. It provides a natural healing touch with its healthy herbs and other plants vegetation generating coolness in the atmosphere.
The computer entails a thoughtful layout of building blocks incorporating good engineering, architectural and ‘Vastu’ aspects required for natural care. These valuable features strike your mind prominently once you are settled in the room.
The patient living environment has been further made pleasant by the homely touch of the dedicated, competent and sincere team of doctors and all the members of support staff. They really care and pray for the speedy recovery of patients.
The ‘satsangs’ organized by Dr. Ram Kumar and Dr. Ramadas and other doctors, are extremely valuable and educative, provides an opportunity to the patients to learn in the strength of Ayurveda science and apply it for betterment of healthy life. This also helps the patients in building their confidence.
This is my first exposure to the Ayurveda treatment and found encouragingly successful and it changed my mindset.
Lastly, I wish to record that Dr. Ramkumar and Dr. Ramadas, who are erudite doctors of repute, possess great professional and traditional influence coupled with their sober, intimate and humane approach to the patient are the contributory factors in recovery of illness and building confidence of patients.
I sincerely wish Vaidyagrama a great success in their noble mission in the time to come.
God bless.

I thank God for having given me this precious opportunity at Vaidyagrama. It was a marvelous experience.
My heartfelt thank to the doctors for all their care and patience. They are wonderful people. I am very sorry to compensate my thyroid treatment, but I am infinitely thankful to doctor who have rescued me with her tremendous heart at whatever time, and to the doctorate staff as well.
India as well as its people is a very unique life experience for me. I will never forget about it.
I am leaving now but I shall return.
Here I was shown the way of life about how one should live his/her life. This approach at life is been largely missing in Western medicine. I leave my heart with you and I am taking all this love which all of you transmit.
Many thanks to all the therapists, managers and all other staff who make this place as marvelous as it is on a daily basis.
For me it has been very difficult not being able to express myself due to the language barrier of English. But for my next trip this will not happen since my next adventure is to learn English.
I have started 3 years ago the route of Ayurveda and every day I thank god and ‘Dhanwantari’ for it. It has induced me my fascination for Ayurveda medicine.
Thanks to all for your love, comprehension. This is not a good bye. We will see each other in a couple of months.
A big hug from the bottom of my heart

I want to thank for the wonderful experience I have had at Vaidyagrama. The professional and warm attention of everyone, the beautiful and calm place…
I have had a great experience that beside this has increased my interest for ‘Ayurveda medicines’.
What a great Vedic legacy!! You must feel very proud of that.
Thank you very much, my best wishes for all of you and see you in 2017!
Happy!

Many thank to the entire team of doctors, therapists and all the people who are working at Vaidyagrama, for making my stay at this place a wonderful experience in my life.
Thank you for your enduring care and dedication.
I am returning to Chile with my heart full of love and very happy and thankful to the universe for this opportunity.
Thank you very much again to the doctors for their patience and to you for me not speaking English. I promise for when I shall return that my English will not be an obstacle anymore.
A very big hug!

Every day I saw so many people working for making Vaidyagrama a unique place for the personalized health care and for the welfare of patients.
It is very difficult to express in words all the experience and attention received. Vaidyagrama is full of details and love for the patients.
Hug to the doctors for their time and patience. Love and hugs to my beloved therapist.
A fraternal hug, we will see each other, again.

Vaidyagrama, a home away from home…
From the moment I stepped in I sensed a shift in my emotions. As I went through the day and met the doctors, therapists, fellow residents I felt a genuinely peaceful atmosphere, a clam we all wish for and seek in our daily lives.
My dream of making/building a serene place while going back to basics for myself was truly manifested when I came here.
This place provides a space for self-exploration amidst nature, love and care of the community. Being in tune with nature, the mind and body is nourished where it needs the most.
With all humbleness, my mother and I would like to thank god for showing this place, Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Arsha, Dr. Krishnadas, our therapist Bindu, Mythili, Shiny (both), the staff members who all are directly and indirectly involved for making our stay comfortable. Nice conversations with Geetha ji and Preeti. All your effort and hard work is being felt.
Lastly grateful to Dr. Ramkumar for sharing his wisdom through ‘satsangs’ and little conversations we had.
My special thank to Dr. Ramadas for sharing life philosophies in the daily evening sessions.
This is a place to come back when life in outside world gets overwhelming. Also a regular maintenance probably might be better.
Humbled and Grateful!

Most gracious to my team of doctors beginning from Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Jyothi and Dr. Mubash! Twenty days have gone since I first arrived at Vaidyagrama. For more than a decade now I have been having ongoing issues (health) that were just not getting resolved with western allopathy medicine. So looking to find a way to reduce the symptoms of my ailments and to learn anther way of lifestyle better suited for my ailing issues, my search for a reliable alternative style treatment began which culminated (through internet search) at Vaidyagrama, an Ayurveda green healing village. First time coming to India, although I knew Ayurveda treatments were prevalent in Kerala. I chose to find one just outside its borders in Coimbatore as I could speak the language and that would facilitate my living conditions while getting the treatment.
The very first night I came into Vaidyagrama, I felt I had made the right choice. My treating doctor Dr. Ramanandan was waiting at the door when it was close to midnight to welcome me and take me to my room. Room conditions were comfortable in size, space and an attached bathroom with a small dinner space made it complete for me. This good feeling in me only enhanced as the days went by with the daily visits monitoring by the doctors and loving support of the therapists. Despite ‘Onam’ holidays/leave causing change of therapists, my care was never compromised as there was consistency in the service/treatment given where my safety and well being was always reassured especially since I have never had Ayurveda massages, etc. in the past. My special thank to this bunch of old and new therapists namely Devaki, Geethu, Reshma (both) and Praveena.
Although obesity was one of the issues being treated and weight loss being one of the aims, I still never went hungry- had always enough to eat some really freshly tasted cooked red rice Kanji, green gram dal and vegetables. It still resulted in approximately 5 kg weight loss during my stay here. I slowly started gaining confidence as my health issues improved in various aspects. One of the aims I had was to find out what to do or don’t do in future after leaving Vaidyagrama that will empower me with optimal health. That opportunity came and was given by the ‘satsangs’ delivered mainly by Dr. Ramkumar and Dr. Ramadas. The open forums of question/answers during Dr. Ramkumar’s one and half hour hours ‘satsangs’ daily gave me a chance to clear my doubts while giving me clarity of how to live a healthy life post Vaidyagrama.
Blessed was I to find such a lovely healing place and my closure here would have been more complete if the stores could have made available strong packing material in terms of boxes, easily available strings to tie a weigh scale. A lot of waiting time and red tape involved in this. Being an Australian resident knowing the Australian custom requirements, each ‘Kashayam’ package in future has to be sealed fully with a candle and then the labels clearly and professionally attended. Failing which a lot of questions and time will be wasted in explanations whether we have put in our material or done it at home. End result being the packages being confiscated. The bottles were bubble wrapped and the tapes around the bottle covers were sometimes not sealed properly and that would be a cause of some spillage in the box/bag especially for foreigners who go through a few transits before reaching the destination. The luggage during each transit is again transferred or thrown into the conveyor belt and if bottles packages not sealed well, it will end up spilling.
Lastly, my very special thank to the volunteers Geetha and Preeti who gave a lot of kind support and assurances. They are an indispensable part of Vaidyagrama. Their approachable mannerisms, wealth of knowledge, service has only added to the goof name of Vaidyagrama.
I go now with a lot of confidence and hopefully will return with other family members in the years to come. I wish Vaidyagrama the very best in all their efforts to the wellbeing of all patients who come from here locally and abroad.
Amen.
Fond Regards,

This is my second time at Vaidyagrama. So I would like to thank everyone again for all the care and attention. I know that after I leave from here I will begin to feel the positive effect of the treatment. The first time when I came here I felt a lot of improvement in the months after the treatment… and this time I can already feel my health is balancing at again.
This place is a blessing, thank you very much!

The Ayurveda treatment given in Vaidyagrama, Punarnava are very beneficial. Here, food is very light and simple. I had a lot of body pain and left knee was very painful when I came but in last two weeks most of my pains have gone. I am taking medicines with me to continue to get further relief.
My doctor Harikrishnan and all other doctors are very nice. They are patient and have given attention to my health problems. The staffs and therapists are good. All other patients were also very friendly.
Here it is a holistic treatment. We have prayers in the morning followed by Pranayama for about 10 to 15 minutes, and prayers in the evening. In the Mandapam Hall, we have Q & A session with Dr. Ramkumar in the afternoon and in the evening by Dr. Ramadas. We ask question on many issues and they are answered.
I was there for 2 weeks and I had a good experience.
I thank everyone for healing me to regain my health.

Vaidyagrama is an amazing place. The vision of health and well being founded on deeper life principles seems to accelerate the process of finding ones own potential to be healthy and the values here certainly promote simplicity, less is more and peace.
The fellow guests are wonderful and the mix of time alone and together seems to a great recipe for healing supported and supporting others.
The staff members are very attentive and also seem to embody a sense of calm, simplicity and fun as well as efficiency.
The doctors and therapists are all fabulous and each ‘Satsang’ or consultation is handled with great love and attention.
Thank you all for this gem!

Loved all the discourses. Taking home so much knowledge but most importantly mindfulness. Dr. Ramadas- wow! He is a great doctor with empathetic ears. His bhajans in the morning transcend me to another place. Thank you.
Ramkumar and Ramadas discourses were amazing. Could listen to them all day. Thanks to all the support staff who work tirelessly. Geetha ji and Aparna ji- thank you!

What a blessing to have discovered this place! We were looking for healing, and what we found is so much more: a healing community that demonstrates that other ways of living is possible.
It is inspiring to witness how the care, which is practiced here, recovers its full and fundamental meaning, by extending for beyond the idea of a clinic.
Our hearts are full of gratitude towards our passionate doctors, always generous and listening. They accompanied us through out the process with their sensitivity and compassion, their spiritual guidance and their humor.
Thanks to all our therapists, for their sensitivity, their care and skillfulness.
We specially thank Sajith, Vinod and Sachin; and Devaki for her maternal care, Reshma and all the other therapists in our block, and our wonderful angel Pravina, which took care of us with love and patience!
Thanks to all the staff members, the housekeepers, the gardeners, the receptionists, the people in the office. Thanks Aruna for letting us witnessing your cooking!
Thanks Aparna, Geetha and all the volunteers for their devotion and generosity.
Thanks to Dr. Ramkumar for his spiritual guidance and inspiration.
And finally, thank you Dr. Ramanandan for accompanying us on this journey with your compassion, humor, lightness and patience.

Once again had a wonderful stay. All the care under Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Aruna and my therapists (Shiny K. and Shiny Mol), has benefited me in health and to relax my mind. All the stress vanishes with the positive energy at Vaidyagrama.
The ‘satsang’ by Dr. RamKumar and his continuous guidance always amazes me. His simple explanations to the most deep and complicated questions are so easy to understand.
Dr. Ramadas with his simple screen displays makes things easier to understand. I thank you, Dr. Ramadas for all your concern and advice.
Dr. Ramanandan, his smile is so good. His ‘satsangs’ are so easy to understand and grasp fully.
One point to mention is that, thank you, bringing required changes in the food. It is for the better.
Your cleaning staff members who are so careful of everything and the laundary service has improved a lot.
Thank you to Hakeem and his co-staff (Balu, Manoj and gardeners) for taking such good care of us and services to all our comforts.
Thank you Aparna and Kavita for your continouous concern
Looking forward to being here next year again.

I was drawn back to Vaidyagrama in less than a year. I needed to be looked after, the warmth, the care, the nurturing and I have received it all from everyone here. Dr. Ramadas presence alone makes me feel better.
Dr. Ramkumar’s wisdom clears my mind. Dr. Aruna is quietly reassuring. My therapist Bindu has pampered and rejuvenated me, a little Mythili has supported her in looking after me.
Thank you to the entire team here for making me feel special, for their constant attention and genuine concern.

Thank you to Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Hari Kumar for their continued wisdom, to my therapist Devaki and to sweet little Pravina-who grows everyday.

To Dr. Ramadas for filling up the space with his presence and most of all to Dr Ram Kumar.

Each time we notice a distinct improvement in many fields. This year the food has radically improved over the previous years. The whole atmosphere is really a treat to watch with people from various countries joining together to make it a carnival atmosphere.
The therapists and all other staff are excellent.
The doctors have been taking great pains to talk to the patients and advise them on their duties.

Vaidyagrama is a place to surrender. Surrender to treatments to all the emotions and pains to time, to nature. It is wonderful place to be. It is time and pure love.
Thank you to Dr. Harikrishnan, and his team Dr. Kesari, Dr. Arsha, Dr. Mubash for all their kindness, care and attention and also to all the therapists who were equally great and very kind.
Thanks to Aparna Ji for being always helpful and supportive.
To Dr. Ramkumar also for bringing me to Vaidyagrama and to create a place like Vaidyagrama.
Finally I am grateful in general to all in vaidyagrama fro maintaining and keep this place beautiful.

They had a bit of confusion for 1-2 days because the way of loving is open and simple here in Vaidyagrama as compared with our cities in Singapore and Japan. I am very happy that my family members have adopted Vaidyagrama’s lifestyle pleasantly.
We are living a simple and spiritual life.
Thank all of Vaidyagrama family and all patients friends to be together and supportive

Dear Vaidyagrama staff and doctors

Thank you very much for working with me through all 28 days of my treatment journey. India was a divine up appointment and of perfect place to continue healing my body mind and spirit on this 30th year on earth.
Thank you each day and folded perfectly and I would not change a thing about this experience for the world.
Ayurveda has truly helped me get my life back and I am so excited to apply the principles of Ayurveda to not only to my daily life but my career as well.
I am so impressed with how young therapists are engaged in dedicated work of taking other human beings as it takes a lot of patience and compassion to deal with people when they are not feeling the best. Again, thank you!
A wise doctor once told me, “Be grateful for the pain in this life because it brings you closer to the soul..”
He was right and this advice will follow me all the days of my life.
Another young female doctor once also told me, “the problem is not with your digestion the issue being treated, the issue is with your mind..”
She was right and will work it out !!
Though healing is a lifelong process I look forward to it each day and will forever be grateful.
Thankful that on my 30th year alive I got a chance to be born again at Vaidyagrama until we meet again mother India.

Thank you for your kind and loving support. This experience of Panchakarma for four weeks will continue for long time to come.
Not only I have learnt valuable lessons about Ayurveda and health but also about myself.
I take with me the knowing that all I have to do is pay attention to what my body tells me and I will be okay.
The doctors, therapists, housekeepers, gardeners, kitchen staff, maintenance people and everyone I have failed to mention I have created a very special place to heal and restore again. Many thanks from the bottom of my heart!

Vaidyagrama is a spiritual place where lot of thought is given to healing.
Doctors here carefully listen to patients and attend them very well.
Overall, it is a good experience except that certain staff member in the office is quite abrupt, rude and it stands out in the otherwise polite and humble culture.
The video screening and planning on food needs little more attention. I am happy that I came here as I could listen to Ramkumar for hours. I have learnt so much from Dr. Ramanandan. He is a great listener and never takes a patient lightly. His honesty and patience makes a patient feel safe in his hand.

For me Vaidyagrama is an oasis in the midst of chaotic world. It is so good to stop and rest. I feel truly blessed to have found Vaidyagrama and deeply grateful for the physical and emotional healing I received during my stay here.
Whelst I am looking forward to returning home, I am also so sad to be leaving my Vaidyagrama family.
My sincere thanks to all this staff off at Vaidyagrama, the gardeners, cooks, maintenance team, housekeepers, therapists and doctors.
It is such a delight to be constantly greeted with a smile.
I love the charm of Vaidyagrama.
I was blessed to have Kalpana, Nimmi, Anitha and Indu as my therapist and to be again under care of Dr Harikrishnan and supported by Dr Kesari, Dr Arundhathi, Dr Arsha.
Thank you and blessings to each of you.
Suggestion
There were a few gardening practices I observed that were in contradiction to what I have been taught about gardening I share them only to help Vaidyagrama.
Shallow vs soaking watering.
Shallow watering promotes shallow root growth and as the roots are closer to the surface they are more susceptible to drying.
Soaking on deep, less frequent watering promotes deeper root growth which provides added protection from drying out.
Harvesting trees bark for kashayam when harvesting tree bark it is important that the tree is left with sufficient bank to carry nutrients to the leaves. If too much bark is removed ring barking the trees will die.
Building up soil and mulch against tree trunks can cause the tree stress to its stem tissue and may lead to the development of insects and disease problems. This is evident in some of the trees and larger shrubs that have brown, clay like caring covering larger sections of trunk closer to the ground.

I want to give infinite thanks to all of you for the beautiful work that makes this place wonderful. That makes not only your physical body healthy but also your soul. I have changed many things of my life from now onwards to go ahead. I want thank to all the doctors, therapists and to all the cleaning staffs for delivering complete services to make my stay excellent and in special to Dr. Mubash for teaching me a little more about Ayurveda and more importantly his patience to understand. I hope to return.
Love this place.

This stay in Vaidyagrama has felt to me so nurturing like being in mothers earth womb. You have truly created a place of love. All of you have taught me a little actions, smiles and words, simple things and simple truth that I had forgotten. I feel that I have connected to a place inside myself again.

My name is Aditya Ram Krishnan and I have had a wonderful time in Vaidyagrama. When I first came to here, I was very reluctant; I hated this place at first and as the days went by during my stay here, I found myself liking this place more and more. Vaidyagrama has given me more than I can ever ask for. I learned more about myself during my stay here then I have ever known about myself. I found peace in my heart and love as well. The staffs here, from the doctors to cleaners are so loving and cordial, and it really makes this process of Ayurveda treatment a bridge. I want to thank a Vaidyagrama and these beautiful staff members for helping me transform my life.
Love at the fullest.

I have observed here that a day spent in prayer and divine things was like a tonic for my mind and soul. The food practice is helpful in healing and rejuvenating the body itself. It is a process of holistic healing of both body and mind. I like the way my treatments were carried out. Vaidyagrama’s atmosphere is not like a typical regular hospital.
Thank you all for this wonderful experience. I have learnt a lot from here once again, Thank you very much. Everyone should know deep scientific understanding of body and mind. I wish it should continue.

Vanakam to all!
I am Vasumati from Salem. My stay in Vaidyagrama was like staying in mothers home. Here everybody spoke to me in a very friendly manner. Vaidyagrama has pleasant surrounding and peaceful environment and good room facilities, herbal tress. I like and enjoy all of it.
Dr Hari Krishnan, Dr Arundhati, Dr Mubash, all treated me in friendly manner. Dr Hari Krishnan was like my father. After treatment my body is light, full of energy all my problems are solved. It is a new life for me. Vaidyagrama is the best Ayurvedic hospital. It should spread all over India and the world. It is my wish.
Geeta, Aparna and Kavita were also very friendly.

After 10 days of crazy pilgrimage with a group of 30 people, visiting Jaipur, Delhi, Agra, Bodhgaya, Varanasi, Rishikesh, Himalayas in trains, long bus rides, aeroplanes my husband and I got so tired and sick that we decided on a recommendation to come to Vaidyagrama to rest for some days before attending an inner engineering program at Isha Foundation. Although we had very short stay of 3 and half days, we found the staff very attentive and professional. The doctors visited us everyday and the treatment was very good. In less than 3 days we started feeling much better. The place is nice, clean and well maintained.
Our sincere thanks to the doctors and friendly staff

Dr Ramadas, for his healing voice — Thank you all for your roles in making my first visit. I learned a lot in first week and looking forward for much more. I go back to my full life in Mumbai with hope; how will I slowly incorporate Ayurveda ways into my life. While my blessings are with that you may take forward all your initiatives. I look for your ‘Aashirwaad’ (blessing) and guidance to help me to continue to find my roadways to good health and balanced life. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

From the doctors to the assistants the support at Vaidyagrama is terrific. I have had 5 fabulous days for which I am immensely grateful. It was wonderful to meet Dr. Ram Kumar who is erudite and learned.
The food is fabulous although lesser quantities would be great.
Please allow some excursion.
Consider stitched undergarment for the therapy.
Please have Vedic chanting workshops

This is my second time in Vaidyagrama. I enjoy every moment here. Although I am from a similar surrounding in a village, the difference here is the people. It is not only physical but also the philosophy of life being taught and experienced that makes all the difference. The room attendant, therapist, Dr. Aruna and a big thanks to Dr Ramadas, for their excellent care. It is an experience to cherish, listening to lecture of Dr Ramadas.
I look forward to coming here again and again for my physical and mental rejuvenation.
I have suggested to quite a few people to experience Vaidyagrama and every one of them is happy. I work in the field of Native Livestock conservation and natural farming and would be willing to offer my support cooperation and guidance in the use of cow dung and urine for farming and growing of tress. The environmentally friendly construction and ambience add to the aura of Vaidyagrama. Thanks to Aparna, the receptionist and all staff members of Vaidyagrama.

I consider this place to be extending of family and deeply look forward to my next visit as a patient a friend a supportive and a family member.

My husband and I stayed here almost 24 days. We had a very thorough treatment and are generally hoping to continue with the routine and medicines once we go back.
Our experience was very good .The doctors, therapists and staffs are very good and tried their best to make our stay comfortable. There is a lot of heart in this place. I also loved our studio, made it a relaxing stay. My favourite part is the back patio. We spent most of our time hanging out there. The food was good except for the treatment days.
I would recommend this place to all my friends. In addition to getting treatment, also feel happy that Punarnava is doing so much for the villages in the area and kids and families.
Looking forward to coming again.

While it was short stay I felt a full range of emotions and had a very different kind of break from the normal. The solitude, nature routine of the dry, prayers, the treatments, activities are focused on healing you relax, calm down and take a step back from taking life too seriously.
A big thank you to all who made this stay comfortable and enjoyable. I hope I can come back here again.

It is a wonderful place, Vaidyagrama healing village! It is surrounded by nature isolated from the temptations of the city, ideal for a complete rejuvenation.
Here the doctors are very present and listen not only in terms of health but also like in general.
The therapists are very attentive and serious in their care and the whole hearted team is very efficient.
The care I got here is of high quality and allowed me to regain a physiological balance and to calm mind.

I was worried to visit new place for us and new country where I do not know anything. And now after my treatment I am very glad to say that I found a very peaceful and caring place like a paradise from our childhood.
It is my pleasure to say thank you everybody who are working here, Doctors, Staffs, and Owners of this place.
Especially I want to thank Dr.Ramadas who is very qualified and very open to patient. It helps to feel better. I would recommend this place to my friends from Ukraine and I am going to back soon.

My deepest gratitude for my healing experience at Vaidyagrama .Vaidyagrama reminded me that true changes come from self love and self care. Vaidyagrama holds this space beautifully while under the care of the doctors, the therapists and the entire staffs.
Vaidyagrama was a space where I could let go and feel supported from staff, new friends and doctors. My 21 day stay reminded me to come back to my basic senses. Nature sounds nature beauty, simple nourishing food, prayers and gratitude. For me, Vaidyagrama has a perfect blend of prayer meditation information (Satsang ,cooking lessons ,Library) and very knowledgeable staff of doctors that truly spend time quality care time with patients .This is a place to heal. I truly enjoyed every morning prayers, silence that catch on the property reminded me of home.
At some point during the purge two of the kittens rested on my porch and kept me company. My prayer is that each and every one of us in this world feels love and loved.
Vaidyagrama held this space beautifully, I couldn’t felt more love. It is in the touch, the listening, the care, the food, the gardens, the medicines, the community, and the cats.
A special thank you to Dr.Harikrishnan for his calm, caring manner.
To Dr. Mubash, Dr. Kesari a very good doctor.
To Indumathi – amazing young woman, very dedicated to her work.
To the kitchen for amazing meals even rice water.
To Dr.Ramadas for his beautiful voice, gift of laughter.
To my new friends for support companionship.
To Dr. Scott Blossom for the referral.
To the staffs for smile, care, service and to Mr. Hakeem.
To Mother Nature for her beauty.
To Dr. Ramkumar for his knowledge, vision of this sacred space.
From the very bottom of my heart, I thank you all!

My husband and I arrived 28 days ago and although we are looking forward to returning home, we are in many ways sad to leave this sanctuary.
Our stay here has been like no other experience that we have ever had. He arrived with a very limited understanding of Ayurveda and now realizes that it would take many years of study to learn about this philosophy. The Satsangs were most helpful and we always found the Q & A sessions very helpful.
Vaidyagrama takes health and wellness to a level that we did not appreciate. The setting is wonderful, the gardens add a lush, calmness, and the wildlife provides hours of enjoyment and the staffs are simply amazing. Our doctor gave us unbelievable care and attention as well as suggestion and ideas that we had not contemplated ourselves. The consultations on the patio, listening to the chirping of the birds in dappled sunlight these are images that will remain with us forever. We joked about the question – defecation? Urination? Sleep? Appetite? Wrist? Tongue eyes all indication of our progress.
Our care by the therapists was also much more than we could ever have imagined. Words sum inadequate to express their expertise, dedication, skill level and engaging personalities.
From the moment we entered the front entrance we have felt like a cherished and important guest.
Thank you for taking us on such an uplifting, spiritual journey. We are leaving with a box full of concoctions, a set of new friends, a little bit of knowledge about Ayurveda medicine and a deep admiration of everyone who works/lives here at vaidyagrama.
From the bottom of our hearts thank you (p.s I am leaving 1 kg with you) the next 3 months will prove interesting.

I really feel like flying….my mind, body and spirit is so high, which I cannot explain!
Namaste, All doctors, staff and everybody.
I really enjoyed staying in Vaidyagrama- Ayurveda healing village. It has very clean environment and very good treatments. Doctors (Vaidya) are excellent, knowledgeable and experienced. Daily prayers of Lord Shiva charge our spirits high for a whole day.
All the greenery in the surrounding is so peaceful. Early in the morning, birds sing and I really get excited when the white feathered bird with very long tail and black head, comes!
Treatments are excellent. After the 21 days treatment I felt so good. No back pain, no hip pain. I feel good energy. All junior doctors are very good too, and are smiling.
Food is very good. It made me realise the importance of eating on time. I had more food in vaidyagrama than at home. At lunch time, my stomach says, “I need food”, which I never felt before!
Thank you all.

We share the feelings of appreciation and gratitude expressed page after page of this book.
We too are impressed by the balance you keep between a deep respect for the authentic healing process and the attention to our creative comforts spoilt as we all are!)
Your managing staffs, apart from the Doctors, (persons like Aparna, Geetha and Preeti) are similarly helpful and inspirational.
If we can offer one observation which (we feel) needs gender balance among the junior staff (therapists). In our block at least, the girls do double the work of the men…giving body therapy, bringing food and medicine, preparing kashayam etc. They are doing almost too much, and there should be a better balance.

After my second visit to vaidyagrama, I would like again to say how grateful and thankful I am to be gifted with the healing experience of this beautiful place.
I would like to extend my thanks to all the doctors, especially Dr. Harikrishnan, for all his insight, knowledge and constant support and confidence in my healing also….
Dr. Mubash and Dr. Kesari for all their regular visits, special care and kind words.
I would also like to thank the beautiful ladies that give us our food, medicine and even flowers on the table; the housekeeping team who keep the room clean and tidy, and lastly to the great therapists, especially Biju, for his extensive care, great treatments and gentleness.
Of course I would like to thank everyone else in the vaidyagrama family/ community who helps create and materialise this amazing healing centre.
I wish everyone all the very best! May we all experience good health and abundance of light and love.

Tranquil environment, pristine surroundings, joyful faces, dedicated therapists and really loving and caring Vaidyas is what moved me during my brief stay here in vaidyagrama.
Hospitality is unmatchable… and food, quite palatable, even though it’s specific to your treatment. All the workers work very hard to make your stay comfortable and happy.
The community of likeminded people, travelling from far across the world, keep you stimulated, to make new friends and extend your family in the true sense.
Humility of each person leaves a permanent stamp of gratitude in you, when you depart with a resolve to come back soon!
Thank you all, dear vaidyagrama family.

We definitely found Vaidyagrama as a quiet and peaceful place, best suited for healing, body and mind.
All the staff was engaging and always friendly.
The doctors always had time for us… Not just only to talk about health… Thanks!
Sometimes we wished that the therapists speak and understand more English, to have a better conversation 🙂
But finally, four weeks has passed, too fast. So we feel sorry to leave this elevating place.

To my second family Vaidyagrama members.
This is my second time in Vaidyagrama and it was a very wonderful experience. Today only I finished my 78 days. Maybe am not fully cured, but I really feel better inside my heart.
I want to thank everyone who helped me… Doctors (Ramadas, Aruna, Arsha, Krishnadas, Ramkumar and all), therapists (Shiny and Shiny), all workers (Deva, Dana, Hema, Balu, Kanaku, and Aparna, Kavitha, Hakeem.)
I love you all and I wish all the best for you! I will never forget any one… This experience will last and stay in my memory forever.

Vaidyagrama, such a special place!
The treatment was wonderful (pretty Roshni, Lakshmi…thank you!) Lakshmi was like my mother. So caring and loving. I was comfortable with the doctors, Dr. Harikrishnan is always calm, Dr Mubash is always friendly, Dr Arsha made sure I was okay, and Dr Kesari is always smiling and makes me feel happy.
My stay at Vaidyagrama was more than just getting Ayurveda treatments, but a life changing experience. It taught and reminded me of the importance to feel and appreciate Nature, living more simply and poking after you better. The three weeks spent here was the most precious time and I will never forget 🙂
I’m so happy I was able to come here!
Thank you…

I am fortunate for the opportunity to visit Vaidyagrama. It’s been awakening for me particularly because this was my first real exposure to a place for curative Ayurveda. The place has a distinctive character, brought about by its setting, its making and the warmth of its people. The quality of care, competence and the desire to disseminate values of Ayurveda for the larger common good is its strength.
The diagnosis was spot on, delivered through a team of very knowledgeable doctors. The therapists and supports were also equally supportive and competent. A great healing environment!
Best wishes,

This was our first visit to Vaidyagrama and we spent 21 days here. We express our deep gratitude for the kind and generous care and healing we have received from everyone here.
Dr. Ramanandan created a treatment regime for each of us that cleaned and nourished our body, mind and spirit. We thank him and his team of fellow doctors and therapists who implemented the treatments and always made sure that everything was going well. Where require, adjustments were made quickly and effectively.
We very much enjoyed our rooms and the green outlook. The cleaning ladies were amazingly thorough. A special thank you to Hakim and his team for dealing effectively and humanely with the overly industrious and affectionate ants.
Dr. Ramadas morning and evening prayers contributed greatly to our healing process, and Dr Ramkumar Satsangs were always informative and engaging on many levels.
We were also blessed to meet wonderful people from all around the world who were also here on a healing journey.

I stayed here for three weeks and these three weeks with lot of things: different emotions, different treatment, stress and agitation, decreasing step by step. I can’t explain all because my English is not very good. But a big thanks you for all staff:
therapists who were always smiling and kind.
Thanks to Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Aruna for their humanity, conversations and guidance during treatments.
Cleaning and gardening staff always have a smile.
All administration staff for their smile and their work.
Everything is perfect. It would not be like this without everybody in Vaidyagrama.
Thanks a lot.

I am coming from very little insights into Ayurveda, I was truly inspired by my encounter with Dr. Ramkumar when he was in Chennai a few months ago, and eventually it led me to Vaidyagrama. Although I came with little expectations, I have been very pleasantly surprised at what Ayurveda can do for oneself.
The 18 days time I spent here has been truly a wonderful experience and never felt like I am in a hospital for treatment. The entire place is very well conceived and more so well maintained. What adds character and charm to the place is the people behind this and all of them have been excellent in their respective areas of service. Keep up the good work and will recommend it to friends and family most certainly.
Although I had my share of Kanji for 12 days or so, the food during the first five days was also excellent.

Dear staff members of Vaidyagrama,
I would like to thank you for showing me the concepts of Ayurveda in more details and helping me overcome my health problems by presenting so many encouraging stories of people who lived through worse sicknesses with the help of vaidyagrama, Ayurveda and their open-mindness.
You have inspired me not just to do a project about your place and your work for school…. but also to come back here next European summer and help you with your work with the villagers!
You are truly a place that should be introduced to all countries because you take care of everything and everybody, without wanting something in return. I hope that you will inspire many more like you inspired me!

I am so thrilled with the whole concept of vaidyagrama, that I already started thinking of coming back next year together with my daughter and husband!
I will pray for you all to have God’s help to continue developing your projects.
I love morning and evening prayers, food, satsang, pujas and almost everything.
Thank you all until the next time soon….

This is a heaven of physical as well as spiritual wellness. The environment created in Vaidyagrama allows one to fully tune back into oneself and make room and space for the body and mind to heal. The intimate contact of the landscape to nature brings one’s mind to such stillness and clarity. The simplicity, compassion and kindness of the staff make one feel so at home.
The food is so clean that you can taste the ingredients put used in it.. The body is treated with such care allowing its true nature to just do its job. The doctors attending are genuinely concerned about patient’s wellbeing on daily basis.
The healing is so immediate that one realises the effectiveness of the treatment very soon.
It has been a magical experience, and it truly won’t be the last time to be here.
Thank you to everybody from the bottom of my heart!

Vaidyagrama is very peaceful, calm, and full of life. Every moment could hear bird singing, leaves moving.
Even my stay was too short and not enough for treatment, all doctors helped me to cure my situation with love and knowledge.
I appreciate them and their efforts, therapists’ smile and efforts and all those people who I had never seen but taking care of herbs and spices, trees etc..
People come here are very gentle and kind.
I hope someday I come back and stay here longer to face myself more deeply, cleanse myself more.
I try to keep the essence or here with medicine and advice, feel the nature, breathe deeply, and pray for Mother Earth.
I feel I found someone in my soul.
Thank you so much!

Vaidyagrama is an oasis of health, happiness, inner peace and genuine compassion. Creating a safe place to heal and grow has always been important to me. This beautiful healing village is one of the finest examples of this type of environment.
The doctors, therapists and all those who make up this community work hard to guarantee the best results for each individual who enters this space.
I came here in what I thought was good health. Although my stay was just over a week, I feel clean, alive and renewed! I will hold all of you in my heart as I leave here. You have shown me a state of wellness I did not know was in me.
Much gratitude and continued success with vaidyagrama. I will be back.

Vaidyagrama is Eden here on earth. In January of this year (2016) I cashed in all of my delta Sky miles so that my mother, Cynthia and I could come to India together. Less than three weeks after securing that tax I discovered a lump in my light breast.
In a matter of weeks, my life as I knew it who shaken. Because of my early detection I was thankfully only stage IC, however, because I was 37 years old, my doctor insisted that I take the genetic test. It turned out that I carry the BRCA2 genetic mutation.
My mother was tested some months later and also has this. Fast Forwarded to 3/4/16- I had a double mastectomy and all the nodes they removed had cancer cells, 23 weeks of chemotherapy and 28 days of radiation left scans and considerable pain and tightness around my heart. I should mention that in 2014, my husband suffered 3 strokes at the age 40.
We also moved one lines from New York to TN in 2013. Lots of stress and no good way to deal with it.
It was always a tremendous beacon of light at the end of a dark and often perilous tunnel, coming to vaidyagrama. My correspondence with Aparna immediately can’t set my mind at ease. After one large flight answered the world (ATL –SENEL-MUMBAI) we missed one flight to Coimbatore so arrived a day late to Vaidyagrama a chuckle now. Remembering how high strange we both were sitting in the reception area, sipping ginger tea. Dr. Harikumar received us warmly and on a personal note ,Wisely noted that the tie reason I was here was to mend my spirit ,This place, All the staffs, My treatments ,The care of Dr.Harikumar and Dr Ramanandan, Supported a significant amount of physical healing but the greatest gift of all was the lightness of spirit . I was again found joy in playing my violin. As my spirit soared so did the magic. I shall never forget Christmas Eve and playing beloved carols and enjoying fellow patients to sing with the tune of Dara, My new (old) Violine.
Cynthia and I also could not give thanks enough to darling Geetha, Reshma and Vineetha. Dr.Sivajyothi whose sweet, Calm, watchful presence made our stay here unforgettable. We will be returning.
Thanks Vaidyagrama for the fertile seeds of self care, gift of friendship and peace.
Happy New Year

I came to vaidyagrama with a specific plan looking for a combination of relaxation and improving my eyesight and acidic teals. But as my time here unfolded, I realised that you can’t plan for the lessons that life decides to teach you, especially when coming to such a sacred place like vaidyagrama where it feels you have at god’s home and at is mercy.
In the 12 days that I was here, I only had 5 days of treatments but the lessons and spiritual realisation were some of the most valuable than I ever had in my whole life and even greater than last year when I stayed for longer as it this place just keeps on getting better. Somehow vaidyagrama worked out it magic and gave me what my mind thought it wanted as the mind is always such a tricky monkey.
It’s amazing how the healing you receive here comes not just from the treatments but from just being here with yourself and seeing love in action in the staff, therapists and of course doctors. Every moment every interaction becomes so meaningful and so healing at every level.
Thank you Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Aruna, Dr. Harikumar for all your patience and teachings.
Thank you Dr. Ramadas for answering my crazy calls even in the middle of the night and for our last conversation when it just suddenly all mode of sense and tears in my eyes came that were not burning or acidic, How magical was that!
Thank you everyone for all your smiles and all the therapists for their kindness and love.
Please continue with this work.
Thank you shiny for the nice bed time massages and nice conversation.
With love for all of you.

There are few times in life when I have felt so grateful. Today I leave vaidyagrama with a feeling of having been loved, taken care of and helped heal in very special ways. Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar and Dr. Aruna have been excellent in listening to my doubts and have guided me to not only heal my imbalances, but more importantly to be closer with my soul. My purpose is to keep my soul happy at all times as Dr. Harikumar told me.
This was my second time at vaidyagrama and its amazing how again I am learning with more than I was expecting to receive. I am leaving with important life lessons, which will be invaluable to continue my healing to develop a new relationship with myself, one that will heal me everyday not just physically but also mentally and emotionally.
It is the spiritual background of love behind each action of all the staff at vaidyagrama behind also each smile that makes this place so unique. Please continue keeping such an open heart as that is as healing as all the treatments you love is contagious! I will also always remember how Dr. Ramadas taught me to trust my body capacity to heal and to believe more in myself. Pain is only there to be loved as that is an indication of the body. One just needs to accept and love our karma. Lastly all of this would not be possible without the amazing care of the therapists Vinod Sachin and Sreeraj have been fantastic always giving their best to provide the best possible care.
Thank you to you all. I will always have you in my heart.

A heaven of serenity and healing Vaidyagrama is truly a treasured space. To be honest I was a little apprehensive about spending one entire month in a place so far and away from everything familiar but the end my experience it is safe to say it has not only nourished we physically but mentally and emotionally as well. Everyone here is extremely committed to the aim of healing and ensures that the environment is conducive to that.

Dr Harikrishnan, Dr Kesari, Dr Mubash, and Dr Arsha are amazing. To all the frantic times I would go receiving to them they would ever so peacefully settle my doubts with smiling faces Laxmi, Kalpana, Indumathi, Anita, the housekeeping team and all the other therapists were great! It was my special to experience their selfless dedication.
Dr.Ramkumar satsang were always a storehouse of knowledge and insight.
Dr. Ramadas prayers and presentation were very memorable.
Community dinners are something I looked forward to every week with great food and company. Big cheers to Preethi for ensuring that the kitchen dishes out such great food.
A big thank you to the entire team who works timelessly behind the same.
All in all this was an enriching and heart-warming experience. It enabled me to in touch with my creative skills again and to just hit the pause button. I now realize how important it is to just stop and simply be.
Kudos to the whole team for creating and maintaining this gem of a place.
Lots of love

This is my third visit to vaidyagrama in the last one year. Although these last two visits have been rather short I’m so grateful for the opportunity to visit this little Oasis that allows me to get in touch with my true self.
When I first visited this place I did not know anything about Ayurveda and I went back with the goldmine of knowledge and understanding and experience of what contributes to good health.
The warmth and generosity of the doctors and staff feels my heart with gratitude.
The birds and the trees and the quiet and peace calm my mind.
The prayers Nourishes my soul.
The healthy diet and treatment nourishes my body.
I return with a spirit that feels nurtured Thank you one and all Vaidyagrama

I am inspired when I have learnt so much that I did not know even though I wish I searched before coming here.
Everyone here has fruitful by healing transition and the beautiful treatments. I have made an addition I didn’t expect. There is still so much to do and I hope to contribute in the future as I know my relationship to this humble but very special place it’s only beginning.

Coming to Vaidyagrama was a blessing.
Discovery of what a healing village actually means was a beautiful experience. The combination of deep spirituality, unwavering commitment and easy goingness touched us profoundly.
We are ever grateful for the cozy nourishing magic you have created here.
May it proliferate and live a long life of its own.
Thanks for all the care which revoked most treasured childhood memories, and for all the inspiration which hopefully will materialise in something good and of course for the gift of the present.

This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama. I have been more impressed after leaving how it all started how it has progressed to the present state. I am proud to be Indian and utterly delighted that Ayurveda is spreading across the world and it is truly authentically practiced in Vaidyagrama. After practising medicine UK for last 37 years I wish conventional medicine and Ayurveda join forces to better most of many patients who suffer with pain and disability and early mortality. I have every faith that with such a dedicated team medical, Therapist, cooking catering, cleaning, Administration who do their jobs so efficiently with a constant smile on their faces. Vaidyagrama will go from strength to strength.
I have learned so much from daily satsang with Dr Ramkumar and Dr Ramadas cannot express my gratitude in words to my Dhanvantari Dr Ramadas. God bless to all those who works here.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for looking after me and educating me during my stay at Vaidyagrama. The attention to detail and care given during treatment are really outstanding. The environment is so supportive to healing which is hard to find.
The open mind of Dr.Ramkumar is really inspiring and it was a pleasure to hear him talk on the whole ranges of subjects.
Shiny was an angel therapist always very helpful and full of good heart for the patient. I wish I could stay a bit longer so that the body and mind can get closer to being one with nature.
I hope you returned in the future I wish all the stuff here good health and prosperity in the New Year 2017.

At the end of 3 weeks stays. I cannot see yet fully the impact of the whole treatment and all the influences and surrounding atmosphere I am curious how this will unfold in the next months at home in daily life.
What I can say now is the longer I was here the better familiar at home I felt.
I want to thank for all the care, support to all who work contribute to this place here to wake it a true healing place. I enjoyed greatly the quietude and friendly holding of the place.
Deeply impressed by the great vision you are shoving together to enlighten it great respect for this.
Most important for me were the satsang given by Dr. Ramkumar this open mind inspired me deeply and some of his outlining thoughts of what Ayurveda is about gave me new perspective may be learn to listen to your body see I want to cultivate.
Thanks to all

Thank you is not the right way to express my Deep and grateful feelings vaidyagrama meant for me a strong stop in my normal life full of food stress and anxiety. At the beginning was the shock. The empty life and doctors telling you that you don’t have to do nothing Where really had requests.
A part of me was not aware of resting- resting -resting not thinking –not thinking –not thinking the other part of myself instead started to enjoy the new empty life, soon filled of new simple things like birds, flowers, rain, sun song, Prayers and love . Now my challenge is to make win the second part of myself a little be farer from mind and rationality. It would take time but it will happen.
Yesterday, I planted a pomegranate tree in the garden. Each fruit will born from this little in your life will be my infinite.
Thank you to Vaidyagrama.
Thanks to Dr. Ramadas and his loving smile.
Thanks to Dr.Aruna for her kindness and support.
Thanks to shiny for her lovely touch and wonderful smile.
Thanks to Dr.Ramkumar for the interesting satsang
Thanks to Preethi for allow life and food talks.
Thanks to the entire patient staff from the house keeping to the smoke lady.
Thank you even for the other patients in vaidyagrama.
Sharing together helped me a lot.
I will be back soon. I am sure.

A thank you does not seem to convey our deepest gratitude to everyone at Vaidyagrama. However we hope that we showed everyone here the same kindness, love, patience and attention that we received. Not knowing what to expect before arriving but having faith that everything will work out Vaidyagrama exceeded all our expectations. The pure serenity of the environment was our first clue that this place is a rarity and a treasure. We knew we were in the right place immediately and with watch passing day, we became so comfortable in our mind, body and soul. We cannot say enough about how Vaidyagrama is so conducive to the healing process. This was our last visit and certainly won’t be our last.
A big heartfelt thank you to all our therapists reshma, geetha and our Dr.Ramanandan and Dr. Siva jyothi for all their hard work and smiling faces. We enjoyed all the satsang with Dr. Ramkumar and Dr. Ramadas as we learned something new about Ayurveda and ourselves in each session. The community dinners were a real treat and fostered a real sense of community. The food was fantastic too. To all the staff, working behind the scenes thanks you for making our stay enjoyable, clean and comfortable. To all the cooks, the food was extremely delicious thank you for nourishing our bodies. We wish everyone here at Vaidyagrama a happy healthy and joyful 2017.
Happy New Year.

My second visit to Vaidyagrama, because the first visit really ended before I could finish healing.
I came with the intention of supporting stem cell treatment to regrow knee cartilage. I stayed to nurse one of the kittens who were attached to buy a dog.
Kudos to Dr. Ramadas who lives advice given by Lord Saturn to the king. A physician looks to alleviate the suffering of all patients.
Thank you doctor for your help with my patience.
Thank you also to all staff some remembered from my previous stay, others new family.
Blessing on vaidyagrama and all the wonderful work done here and blessings on all the creature (2,4,6,8 or milli-legged ) who inhabit this Sacred space.

I was in search of the authentic Panchakarma experience that could make a real difference in my life I have not been disappointed. Further the energy and the vision of Vaidyagrama offered inspiring and uplifting I could not have to sell a better place for the healing that so badly needed Dr Ramanandan was patience and answered all my questions.
Felt to talk safe in his hand and eternally grateful to him generosity of spirit. Vaidyagrama gives you what you need most and what more could we ask for? I loved the Satsang with Dr. Ramkumar love the ambience and the simplicity of the place. Love the cats to please do not ever send them away.
To all in all thank you to all the staffs that make it happen.
Much appreciated and eternally grateful.
In terms of suggestions the cooking class could be so much more substantial and informative given how important the role of food is in Ayurveda this class is critical and could be developmental full Ayurveda cooking class.
Also perhaps then could be a little more variety in the food offered without comprising in the principles.
Lastly given the cost, perhaps the essentials like toilet paper and soap could be provided in the bathrooms.
With much love and appreciation

Dear vaidyagrama
The experience here exceeded our expectations. We are leaving with so much gratitude and appreciation for the ways in which Ayurveda and healing is practiced with so much authenticity integrity and humility.
All the thoughtful attention that goes into everything from the smallest architectural details, to the responsibility towards eco friendly practices to ultimately the practice of Ayurveda wisdom in its purity all of this contribute to such a conducive atmosphere of deep wholesome healing.
We have been touched by Dr. Ramanandan humble and soft spoken manner, Dr. Ramkumar down to earth, yet palpably lucid wisdom and articulation of the values behind Ayurveda. The way in which all the staff members share a gentle smile and place that hand on their heart to great feels deeply welcoming.
Spending time here has helped my husband and I reconnect with each other and reconnect of our own values of simple and honest living.
We are filled with gratitude for all the beautiful work and values being cultivated at vaidyagrama.
Our intention this morning as we planted a papaya and tulsi sapling and bid our silent goodbye to this amazing place was clear. May this plant grow and benefit all those who come here to heal and give others the gift of healing May vaidyagrama thrive and prosper in its vision.
With lots of love

After 21 hour flight from San Francisco I arrived here with a very clear question about my health since the flight had made my blood pressure out of my sight which turned out to be my good fortune as Dr Ramadas and Dr Krishnadas applied their skills to the situation along with Assurance that there was really nothing to be concerned about the blood pressure treated as I received appropriate medicine in the come atmosphere here best of all there came the advice don’t ever worry about it again advise I am pledging myself to follow as best I can

First time in India
Feels right that my first truly to India is doing and being an authentic heartfelt and explorative voyage into the self.
The protected and nurturing environment here at vaidyagrama helps to restore the nervous system to an even state and gives you the chance to switch off from the outside world and go within.
The lectures satsang workshops and chanting are all great though it was the few or more days that it chose to retreat even further staying in my room a lot and just watching nature and reflecting that I began to feel more healing taking place. Wonderful being surrounded by like minded and inquisitive people coming here as patients.
Felt a high level of care from doctors and in the treatment plus all the staff were looking lovely smiles. Looking forward to feeling the effect after leaving.

We have really enjoyed our stay at Vaidyagrama especially the beautiful environment, the trees wonderful bird life, the cows and lovely cats which I am sure keep the snakes away. The morning/evening prayer a highlight. The food was not to our likes but we understood it was a requirement for optimal healing.
We would sincerely likes to thanks Shyni k who was incredible therapist, always consistent, caring, kind and positive and who goes above beyond in her support for patients. We also want to thank Jaya, a hard worker with the biggest heart. All the Vaidyagrama staffs are amongst the too best people we have met.
We want to personally thank Aparna for all her assistance and happiness she bestows in everyone.
Finally we want to thank Dr. Ramadas for his excellent care, advice patience and loving guidance in correcting body, mind and soul.
Dr.Aruna for her extreme patience answering all our questions; she is an exceptional doctor with unmatched interpersonal skills.
