Hello!
Thank you for a very relaxing albeit, brief stay. We will see you again!! The staff have been amazing - the therapists, doctors, the cleaners, the cooks and all those behind the scenes. I am just sorry we couldn’t stay longer this time.
A very relaxing and peaceful stay.
Thank you!

Best doctors you will ever know! I love each and every one of you.

The calm, peaceful location, the love and comfort extended to me by the doctors, therapists and the complete staff has really healed me. I was not expecting this as I was only accompanying my daughter who has come for a treatment, and was not myself a patient here. I am thankful to everyone.
Thoroughly impressed by the daily prayers, different divine rituals performed here from the time to time.
Looking forward to being here for a few weeks anytime in future. Thanks! At last, I would also want to share my gratitude for asking me to hoist the national flag on the Republic Day here, and it was indeed a great honour for me. Thank you all for everything!

Vaidyagrama is truly a family that includes staff, patients, the community and the environment.
After arriving 24 days ago depleted energetically and physically, I am now feeling much happiness, hope and renewal. The happiness that pervades this community has "infected" me. The doctor chats, the Satsangs, classes and chanting, all remind us that we are already whole, and are much greater and deeper than our health conditions.
This was my first of what I intend to be regular sojourns to this healing space.
In deep gratitude,

Truly impressed with all aspects of my stay at Vaidyagrama. Being from the West, there are some expectations of professionalism and service that we get used to and are not always seen in India. But doctors, staff, therapists truly exceeded all expectations.
The guidance by all the doctors are exceptional as was the support. The care and attention by the therapist was comforting and all the other staff that help to run this place, made us all feel like I was here with my family.
Well done to your Vision of Vaidyagrama. One that will continue to grow I am sure, as I am looking to contribute to its growth by bringing my clients here.
Finally thank you from the bottom of my heart for "everything".
Love and blessings,

What an experience! I came here knowing nothing and I feel like I have learnt so much.
The doctors have been great, sharing information at the satsangs. My big thanks to Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Hari Kumar for their special treatment.
I am leaving this place with a new body and mind and I can only thank the team. Special thanks to Vinod and Sajith for being such great therapists, and to Joe for taking me back to Bangalore with such great smiles.
A truly special experience, and I hope this place never loses its uniqueness. I hope to meet you soon.

I have heard about this Ayurveda place a lot and I always wanted to come. Finally I made it!
It has a very nice and peaceful surrounding; and all the staff are so nice and helpful. Even if I had some Ayurveda massages before, but they are totally different here with the doctor’s advice.
Thank you very much for all the treatments and wonderful experience of all the healthy foods. Hope that I would come back soon. Thanks again for all the services I received with the warm heart. Namaste!
Sincerely yours,

This is our eighth year at Vaidyagrama and we are as thankful as ever to everyone, for looking after us so well. The more often we come, more we like this wonderful place.
Our thanks to the Doctors, the therapists and the staff for taking such good care. Today Vaidyagrama is quite a different place than what it was in 2011; it has expanded its activities in other fields and it has been improving continuously.
We wish it every success for the future!

From the depth of my heart, thank you!
All you beautiful people making this a very very special place to visit. The healing I have experienced, rested in and been presented to at many different levels has been far more than I could imagine. The way you live a simple life, committed to sustainability, opens my heart and make me more in contact with faith and trust.
It has changed my relationship to the stories in my life and it has created new stories, new healing stories that I bring home. The healing journey will continue.
With love,

To all the Doctors, therapists and cooks (who gave me extra vegetables), a big thank you for setting me on the road to a healthier life.

Thank you for another wonderful experience here at Vaidyagrama. Being able to come here three years in a row to receive treatments has been a true blessing.
Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Kesari, Dr. Athulya and Dr. Radhika are a great team. I feel very lucky to be under their care.
A lot of appreciation goes to therapists also. Lakshmi is awesome. She has more compassion than anyone I know. No matter my treatment was early morning or last of the day, she gave 100% and has a way of making you feel like you are her only patient. Please take care of Lakshmi because she takes care of so many others.
Keep growing Vaidyagrama- The world needs you.
Much love and appreciation,

I came here for a special reason and had a difficult time. I don’t know yet if healing has taken place. But I do know the doctors are wonderful and worked hard and did their very best to treat me. Even when I was difficult, they were patient, kind and optimistic.
Lakshmy and Lavanya were caring and very good therapists and took personal interest in every one in the block. The women who come to clean every day were beautiful, smiling and always helpful. Everyone here has a hand on their heart.

Everyone here at Vaidyagrama, from the kitchen staff to the loving sweet therapists, to the knowledgeable and patient doctors, to the cleaning & office staff, make this place extra special & memorable. I am very grateful for my time here and hopefully will return to experience the healing again.
The grounds are very peaceful & beautifully kept & the activities/ satsangs offered the perfect combo of rest & learning & sharing. I adore the dedication to the spiritual aspects & admire the authenticity. I will never forget this special time in my life (Dec 2017- Feb 2018).

Vaidyagrama is a remarkably idealistic community. The Ayurvedic Panchakarma treatments are authentic; but the best thing are all the opportunities to learn about the deeper meaning & spirituality. I was lucky to have several opportunities to speak with the Swami here & learned more than I have in several years.

We stayed for 18 days and found Vaidyagrama a great place to heal your body. One thing we realised is that if you are suffering from some acute/ chronic ailments, this is the place to be.
The whole set up is excellent... Great design for the village, individual apartments, staff, treatment, service etc.. All top quality.
Good luck....Hare Krishna!

After my first visit to Vaidyagrama, I leave after 3.5 weeks feeling blessed, invigorated, strong and vibrant. This magical oasis of authentic healing is made possible by the clear vision and purpose created by small group of visionary doctors who have created a vibrant culture kept alive by exceptional staff, therapists and doctors in alignment to provide deep and nourishing care.
To my great delight, I discovered a surrounding community of healers in their own way; Elders, children, priest at the temple, orphanage and endless green organic gardens and cows.
I feel a lifelong connection to this “family of friends” and see you all again in next year.
With great admiration, inspiration and affection,

A truly exceptional living spiritual, healing community!
I recommend Vaidyagrama to anyone in search of real healing...what a remarkable gift, exceptional love, devotion and care from a noble class team of staff from the cleaners to the doctors. A better run organisation in either business or non-profit circles. Truly to be recommended and supported.
Thank you,
My blessings!

This was very first stay in vaidyagrama. As already experienced in Ayurveda, I did know what will come. But it came real better. My 3 weeks in your healing village (that means feeling part of this community) were wonderful, ever though I did not feel always fine.
Things come up through the mind- physically, emotionally and in mind –and this was not pleased but very helpful too. This is full of worship, peace and is a protected place- rare in India and the world. How is it possible to love and keep good a lively silence? The nature (plants, birds) and the surroundings are enchanting and magic. The daily routine - prayers, satsang, puja, are nourishment. You offer really a window to the inner world and the world outside.
Thanks to all the wonderful staff, the doctors, physicians, kitchen staff……thank you for your help, kindness, friendliness. Thanks to Dr. Ramdas for looking after me well, and for the medical advice. Thanks to all satsangs with Dr. Ramkumar, Daniela and the others.
Few comments:
The food is very tasty and good, but sometimes a little bit spicy and salty.
You should not allow smart phones and computers during prayer and satsang.

After having spent past 4 days in heaven, I really don’t want to leave Vaidyagrama yet. It is difficult to write about what is good here, because everything is just perfect. The facilities are comfortable, doctors are knowledgeable, food is awesome and everyone is so kind and caring.
I will certainly recommend my friends and family to come here and get their treatment.

It’s been a wonderful experience overall. The body and mind has become light and relived of all stress. The ambience and serenity of Vaidyagrama is refreshing in itself. The mantras and chantings with pranayama is soothing and useful to the mind. The doctors, therapists, and the other staff are very cordial and friendly making one ease and not missing home.
Dr Ramadas and team have taken real good care and they are very respectful to our needs. I have had a peaceful and fruitful time at Vaidyagrama, and benefits to my health is very visible. I am happy to be here and wish to be back for longer duration next time.
Thanks to Dr. Ramdas, Dr. Sajna and all others at Vaidyagrama.

I came in very sceptical, wondering whether I would last the rigours of the treatments for two weeks. But the doctors and the people here made the two weeks go by as though it was a few hours of exhilarating fun time.
Days went by as minutes, and with each passing day you felt more energized and felt great mentally and physically. The treatments nourished your body and soul. The environment with natural herbs and plants made you sleep well and breathe Ayurveda air.
Dr.Ramadas was great at what he was doing and ably assisted by Dr Sajna. They made you feel at home. And the well trained staffs were fantastic.
Thanks to all with love,

I have reached here exhausted and very depleted, my system stuck. The commitment to this healing could only succeed in truly spiritual, committed and lightly professional environment. Vaidyagrama is a place to become whole again in its best sense.
Thank you Dr.Ramadas for your heartfelt, soulful and professional guidance.
It surely has helped me to feel so much better and to bring even more focus on my path of growing awareness. I shall stay committed to the process and are planning already to be back!
With warm love and gratitude to this special place and all its loving souls,

This is my second stay in VG. It was not only treatments and doctors' consultations, but also learning experiences. It was a time when I have to make very important decisions in life. Staying in VG helped me to quieten my mind and come to right decisions. I am truly grateful to the staff and doctors, especially Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Mubash for the help and assistance.
Always fascinated by attending satsangs with Dr. Ramkumar. Impressed by the depth of his knowledge, and ability to communicate and have patience, and of course to have the visionary idea of creating and running VG.
Great thanks to all people at VG, from therapists to the cleaning ladies, for making my stay so enjoyable. One more thing to add, I enjoyed the food, looking forward to learning it myself.
Looking forward to see all of you hopefully in a year.
Truly yours,

My stay here was very enjoyable and beneficial. Both doctors, Ramanandan and Anupama were very knowledgeable and clearly explained the issues and treatments to me. All of my questions were answered and I felt very comfortable. The staff was also very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. People would frequently check up on me to make sure my needs were met, which I found very helpful.
Overall I noticed that my condition improved dramatically while I was here,and would highly recommend this experience to others. I should also note how helpful my therapists were, not just in therapy, but also in helping me with other things. The lady who cleaned my room was very considerate and also very good at her job.

All three of us had rejuvenation, which was indeed wonderful during our stay at vaidyagrama.
Both the doctors, Dr.Harikumar and Dr. Ramanandan visited us frequently and took care of our treatment well. The block attenders were very prompt in giving us kashayam, meals and drinking water right through the day. The therapists were excellent and ensured that we took the treatment on time every day. The support staff at vaidyagrama were quite sincere and concern makes our stay quite pleasant. The admin team too were very efficient in coordinating things for us.
Overall this experience we had was a memorable one, and we will sure come again for treatment.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
This is my third visit and you all are a major blessing in my life. I have learned to follow your advice to the letter, and it has done wonders for my health and well-being. The whole experience here is for my body and soul. I look forward to my monthly refreshing all year.
Even in my 3 years I have watched your wonderful healing garden spring to life. It is a symbol of all that is best here. The doctors, the therapists, the cook, the cleaners, the front office staff - you seem to make each other bloom together & make us bloom.
Special thanks go to Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Kesari, Dr.Athulya, Dr.Radhika. They have been caring beyond caring, and have dealt with particular things with patience, skill, and creativity; Lakshmi and other therapists have been great.
I am also deeply moved by your on-going and expanding service to the wider commitments at the heart of the Ayurveda.
To all of you known and unknown, I express my profound gratitude for all that you do and all that you are!
See you next year!

Well, all has been said; everyone is delighted with doctors, talks, activities, and the healing process.
The patients / clientele are so expressive, adding to the joy of what is here. Always a smile! I felt very comfortable and nurtured, and hope I was able to nurture others.
My only regret is that I did not stay for 30 days as recommended, but only 9 days. Now that I have learned so much about staying healthy, I will expand my time.
All the best love and happiness to all!

Vaidyagrama provides a beautiful environment for healing and spiritual immersion. The staff are all so gorgeous, smiling and even helpful... My thanks to all of them, especially to the Therapists who are so kind and thoughtful; to the Doctors who were always there, vigilant and patiently explaining everything, constantly observing. Thanks also to the house-keeping staff, always smiling and very thorough. The herbal garden spread throughout the campus is very calming and relaxation. I learned a lot. The morning and evening prayer sessions were wonderful.
Thank you for all the Vaidyagrama once again!

Dear Vaidyagrama,
Aahhh...thank you for being here!
Thank you for your caring, healing and love. I laugh when I think of the mental gymnastics I go through here, from crying on arrival. So happy to be back for a second year to the feelings of joy, impatience, restlessness, surrender, peace, grief are there in the course of a day sometimes. You all provide this sacred space to allow that to happen, as I go through the journey and come at the other side, crying with gratitude again; and then it begins again.
You are all amazing and I am hoping to return next year and will certainly be telling people about this!
With gratitude and love,

Thank you to the staff and doctors. My stay here was amazing and life changing in many ways.

Much gratitude to all the staff at beautiful Vaidyagrama! I felt so cared for by everyone. I was taken aback by how attentive, kind and fun the doctors were. The accommodations were lovely, simple, clean and calming.
It was such a pleasure to wake up with the sound of birds every morning. I loved all the food; so much heart and soul were poured in to each bite. Thank you for holding such a clear vision of authenticity. I learned so much about surrendering to the process, and being patient. What a gift to be able to pause and absorb healing and transformation in such a sweet and gentle way. I am so energized and revived and inspired. I couldn't ask for more.
Thank you Vaidyagrama!

Dr.Harikrishnan, I try to figure out just how you make such a difference in such little time. You are wonderful!
Dr.Athulya you have made this experience incredibly fun and enjoyable. Thank you both for everything!!
Love to Samina who made me honoured to have you as a part of all the days we had a treatment.
Love to Kalpana; you are a true friend to me. You have a way of spreading joy to those around you.

Fantastic 4 doctors! Thank you for your commitment, comprehensive consultations and care and the thoughtful treatments; team and wonderful house mother like Lakshmi and ever smiling Devika looking after the rooms.
I enjoyed seeing your mission to see how authentic Ayurveda can be made contemporary with its value; seeing your broad Vision getting to experience this community of care and community of learning and how you cover many dimensions. It was wonderful to have the focus of food coming together here of a higher purpose.
One of my health goals has to been to address /change over-eating and somehow regulate the appetite, and that has continued to happen; it is such a relief not to have the incessant and desire.
It is easy to be here and very restful. It is inspired and is inspiring. My only feedback for the improvement is a mattress protector that doesn’t slip. People of Australia don’t have access to healing centres of this nature. I wish I could bottle you all as well as the herbs!
Good luck with your work, and your lives!

The experience I have had at Vaidyagrama has been exceptional and beyond what I expected. Durga Leela has been telling me for years about how wonderful your staff is, and how changed I will be living. She was so right; it is the combination of the warm, cosy, clean ambience along with the attentive, friendly staff; delicious food, and doctors and staff that “really care”.
I am so sad to leave, but I know I will be back; but thank you for the kindness you all have shown and the feeling of love. I love it here and will be recommending until next visit.
All blessings,

“Health is wealth” they say… At Vaidyagrama I learnt the real meaning of “keep it simple”. The self-discipline I managed was very graciously encouraged and assisted by the extremely humble, amazingly knowledgeable team of doctors, therapists and all the management and staff.
Thank you in words is not enough. I hope to continue my wellness routine and soon make it “a way of life”!
Wishing all at Vaidyagrama specially Dr.Ramkumar, Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Kesari, Dr.Athulya, Dr.Radhika and the entire team the very best. Aparna and Geetha, stay motivated and inspired! Keep in touch... Miss me!!

It is a major blessing in my life to have this place and have such a sense of belonging here. The whole group feels the same. Each year I see more dedication and devoted service. It’s a truly beautiful Vision, being carried out by a most excellent team. I am truly grateful to be a part of this Vaidyagrama family!
See you next year.

Dearest friends,
Wow, so dear in my heart as friends can be!
Until I came to Vaidyagrama I had not known of a place where one could come and in the most vulnerable way be received with complete acceptance, kindness and care. When I first arrived I could not help but think of my many experiences in medical offices with bright glaring lights, the sound of whirring instruments and gadgets, the smell of disinfectant and a doctor whose schedule was always pressing to move to the next patient.
The speed of living here, gentle and wholly connected to the cycle of day and night, the arrival of weather as it comes, with the sounds of activity being that of our daily needs being cared for, and birds and animals simply doing what they do best, the sound of prayers, the sounds of healing - these are the sounds of life as it is rooted in the spirit and the flow of a great force of nature and of universal intelligence.
The care of all here has touched me very deeply. The structure of our day as patients is very balanced, and I especially appreciate the time given to meeting a variety of needs such as understanding and growth (Satsang), group dinner (community and connection), private consultation with 2 doctors (trust, mutuality, being truly seen and heard), treatments- health, nurturance and our wonderful meals and medicines which the caring staff deliver like magic; all combine to allow a deep rest and reconnecting to self.
I leave here with immense gratitude for all at Vaidyagrama and at the Trust. I have gathered my experience into a medicine bundle in my heart to take back to America and to my family and my broader community. I pray with the radiance you have bestowed upon me, and will move through me to uplift others in ways not yet known.
I will not say goodbye as I will surely see you all again.
With love and gratitude,

A deep sense of calm descended when I came to Vaidyagrama. I felt right at home - surrounded by nature and more importantly, by people who care and show in every little way. From the doctors, therapists to the maids and gardeners, this has an immediate effect on the patients, and the healing begins. I also deeply admire the doctors for having the courage and Vision to start the back-to-basic approach to wellbeing.
Vaidyagrama is unique, and should be nurtured and cherished for future generations. Finally I would be negligent if I don't thank my fellow patients for the good wishes, energy and a deep sense of love and friendship.

This is my second visit here and again, I leave with immense gratitude in my soul. The mind and body leave light and my spirit is happy. I pray for Vaidyagrama. I pray for all that make this place possible - from the diligent leaf pickle, to the cooking staff, laundry and housekeeping, the gardeners, therapists and of course the amazing group of doctors and their assistants. I pray for everyone and their family’s well-being. I wish everyone a contented journey in their life ahead. Thank you very much for your nourishing kindness.

Dear Vaidyagrama family
Yes, it does feel like a family - a very welcoming and caring place filled with happiness. I have heard it called a hospital, but it does not have the sterile, bleak and cold environment of what the word Hospital brings to mind.
It's a warm atmosphere,from buildings made of warm colours and natural materials, to the warmth of smiles and healing hands.
The program is comprehensive with its gentle treatments, educational sessions, and organic foods, designed for easy digestion, quiet and birds!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for preserving and making your dream of such a place come true.
Thanks for the daily prayers and Puja and your focus of treating the whole person.
Thanks for getting philosophical and discussing Karma, past lives and the importance of a positive attitude.
Thanks for watching out for your surrounding community and helping them thrive.
Thanks for your endless patience with our constant questions that you have probably heard a hundred times.
I am particularly grateful to Dr.Ramadas, Dr.Krishnadas, Dr.Ramkumar, Manjusha, Jayashree, Shiny, Mallika, Sunita, Veena, Aparna and all the staff for providing a high quality healing experience. Hugs to you all! I hope to return some day!
With much love,

Much thanks, Pranams, and love go to everyone who adds their positive energy to this amazing healing village.
Dr.Ramadas is a good role model in selfless service, compassion, humility, joy and devotion. Coupled with his knowledge and patience, I feel blessed to have had him as my primary doctor.
All of the other doctors that visited me or I learned from in Satsang were equally caring, patient and compassionate.
Dr Ramkumar's knowledge, patience and wisdom were appreciated in the Satsangs he generously held.
The therapists with their lovely smiles and caring nature were a joy to be around. I felt very nurture in their care.
The Smiles, pranams, and few words we had in common were so pleasant to share with the cleaning and grounds-keeping staff who took such good care of the environment. I didn't meet most of the cooking staff, but their love and care were felt in the healthy delicious food I enjoyed.
I feel so blessed and grateful to have had this experience of cleansing my body and mind and connecting at a deeper level with my True Nature.
God willing I will return.
P.s....
Since I took up 2 pages I might as well list many of the people who touched my heart...thank you, and sorry if I've missed anyone.
Dr Aruna - Best of Love and joy with your baby.
Dr.Sajna, Dr.Krishnadas, Dr.Radhika, Dr.Ramanandan, Dr.Kesari, Aparna, Preeti, Geetha, Malika.

To all the staff, doctors, treatment staff, cooks/kitchen help, cleaners...proper thank you so much for the authentic and divine compassionate care and attention I was given.
Each and every moment of my 26 days I felt completely attended to. First I would like to thank Durga for finding Vaidyagrama. Secondly I would like to acknowledge all physicians - especially Dr.Athulya, Dr.Kesari, Dr.Harikrishnan for taking care of me, and deciding what treatments I needed.
I loved attending prayers, especially when Dr Ramadas sang his heart out at the chanting. I learned so much at each Satsang - everyone teaches me a little more each day. And even though the Yoga Nidra was on tape, it is the best I have experienced. I would also like to thank Lakshmi who really took care of me at each treatment.
I prayed every day to God to help me in all aspects, so I may return to get the full benefits of my treatment.
Love to all of you,

Namaskar !
Thank you to all of the staff that come together to make Vaidyagrama happen. Last year was my 1st Panchakarma here and it was one of the best years of my life and it was one of the best years of my life and I am feeling even more balanced and connected to my practices and staying healthy !!
So I am even more excited to see what this year will bring.
This is the most beautiful atmosphere that brings out the kindness in everyone here, and that is all because of the energy and love put into Vaidyagrama. I thank you so much for all you do!
I am so grateful to feel at home and a part of the Vaidyagrama family; I will definitely be back next year!!

This is our first visit in Vaidyagrama. I am very pleased to be here. First two days I thought without tea I would not be able to survive here. After two days I feel so light and relaxed that I decided I would not take tea when I will be back home.
Here I feel so wonderful. The atmosphere is so fresh and looks like a small village. Treatment-wise also, it is very perfect. All the doctors are very caring and knowledgeable. We do not feel this as hospital; it’s also mixture of spiritual, medicine, therapy. The doctors' care and organic food all are fantastic. I would like to say special thanks to Dr.Ramadas for taking my husband with him outside of Vaidyagrama.

Every one, the doctors, the therapists, the chefs,the maintenance staff always wear a smile. I will learn to take that smile with me on my journey. Lakshmi is wonderful.

Dear Vaidyagrama souls,
I truly miss the right words to express my gratitude and love. All you say and do here, we can experience in any next moment. More, maybe we can experience something that you do not say, but I felt it so many times in those lovely smiles and humble moments.
I was looking the place like this - with authentic Ayurveda long time. Now I can say (as for many often things in life that you used to wait patiently for long time), it was worth for waiting every tiny minute.
Thank you so much for your love and devotion. I will take part of it with me and will keep it alive. Life is a flower 🌸

Thank you all for your devoted, loving care... for the buzz on my door at 5:15 am just like a hospital.
I forgot this is a hospital... the yummy cup of sweet tea we all look forward to at 6 A.M.
It's more like a huge family being enveloped by a large loving family who makes us all better from the inside out, as long as we take our medicines.
The food has been great.
Who ever thought I could eat lentils and rice for breakfast, and look forward to more!?
Thank you kitchen staff for all that preparation. Exciting to lift the lid on the tiffin box to see what surprise was in it today.
We may all starve the first week at home, but I know I will return soon to be healed and cared for by you all again.
You have a very unique environment here, an oasis in the desert, where the people of the world come to be nourished and cared for.
A special thanks to Devaki and her crew in block 4....so much love shared with me.

Immense gratitude for everyone at Vaidyagrama who made my stay so special.
This is my first Panchakarma and it surely won't be my last.
Tremendous transformations have taken place in my mind, body and soul. Connecting with Nature has allowed me to experience my wholeness and to feel healthy, happy and holy.
Dr. Ramadas, you are a such a boss! Your healing is pure magic; without you I would be lost!
So much love for the friends that have turned into family in the short month I have been here. Loved the daily satsangs and plan to continue to study Ayurveda back home.

Thank you Biju! The snake catcher, for the wonderful massage today! My last day of treatment after 29 in total. Truly authentic, a unique gem I am grateful to have finally arrived here after 7 years when I first found out Vaidyagrama at the Salt Spring Center of Yoga, Canada.
So much love and healing intentions here, permeating through the smiles, the plants and animals. I love the care provided here, and the food is the best I have ever had! Luckily I get to stay for an additional 10 to 20 days of rest and will continue to enjoy the prayers and satsangs.
Thank you to my Dr.Harikrishnan and his calm and confident approach. I feel cleansed and am now rejuvenating. Many thanks to all the other doctors and therapists for all they lovingly provide.
I will for sure come back, with friends and family.
My very best wishes to Vaidyagrama staff and the greater community of Punarnava Ayurveda trust!

Thank you for an amazing experience here at Vaidyagrama. The scenery was beautiful and peaceful. The staff and doctors were wonderful and a huge help. Although the ghee treatment was tough I am glad it is under my belt. The satsangs were very helpful and I enjoyed the saturday evening community dinner.
There were many times when I was bored and reading would not be helpful although that is likely the goal - it is the only feedback (constructive) I have, something to help with the boredom.
I was blessed to have been able to be here with your wonderful doctors and staff I will carry this with me for many years . I hope to see you all again in the coming years, Ghee free!!

This is my fourth and longest stay at Vaidyagrama. I kept on extending. Is it possible to become addicted to Panchakarma and Vaidyagrama?! Every year has been a different experience but always enriching. I am blessed to be able to take this time to reconnect with nature and my own nature in this beautiful and authentic environment that is always nurturing and Soul healing.
Give Thanks to the visionaries of this project (Dr Ramkumar et al.), to the doctors for their good care and especially this year to Dr.Ramadas who represents pure Bhakti and always having wise words to share.
Thank you to all the caring therapists and special thanks to Shiny who shines like a star, and to all the Vaidyagrama family and staff.

I feel so sweetly and kindly nourished by all of you. It has helped me remember and sit in the part of me that is kind, steady, present, warm. It is like a Mother's Womb as Dr Ramkumar says - steady rhythm of each day so restful.
The birds, the plants, architecture and especially the community of wonderful therapists and doctors and admin staff - It is growing beautifully. I am inspired to take this pulse of village healing and kindness back home to my village neighbourhood. Many thank you to all who have chosen to dedicate themselves to making this village home with a huge inclusive Heartbeat of healing.
I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to have stayed here twice now.
I hope to return again in the future.

Taking home the memories of a very pleasant experience of this healing village called Vaidyagrama. I am extremely thankful to the doctors, therapists, especially to Dr.Ramadas and therapists who did my treatments and the staff as a whole.
Enjoyed the pujas conducted here, the daily prayers, weekend group dinners and the Satsangs. There is so much to learn at every stage of life.
This sort of holistic healing is so beneficial to the body and mind. Thanks for everything!
With love and best wishes, looking forward to coming here once again.

I had been told about vaidyagrama by a friend, more than a year ago; but I resisted coming here as I did not feel it would be help me. I am glad I finally did give in, and came for the course. I have had a very relaxing, comfortable stay of 6 weeks, wherein I have had sessions of different treatments. The doctors, those who administer the treatment have always been kind,cheerful and helpful with smile. They have never been impatient or angry, but always smiling. I feel the treatments and medication will help my long lasting medical problems, and I hope to come back in a few months.
Thank you all for a comfortable and soothing stay.
Wishing all the people here a happy year ahead!

Dr.Ramadas et al.
You asked me on admission what I was here for and at that time I stated "an adventure". Thank goodness I had little concept of how true that would be. These last two weeks have provided much solitude giving space for the occurrence of subtle shifts and quiet awakenings. I leave here knowing that my arms are an extension of my heart and their task is to continue with good works.
I thank you for the care and guidance and providing just enough but not too much information. My thirsty mind learned to quell itself and trust!
Always with the greatest of love,

Dear All,
My stay at vaidyagrama has been a journey of ups and downs, but always towards health and wellbeing. The more I let go it seems the better the treatment results. You are also very kind and caring. This place is a special sanctuary during these times of fast paced living. Vaidyagrama reminds us to slow down, to pay attention and to be kind to our self.
Thank you to each of you, for your loving care!
I hope to return with more family members in the near future.
All my best! I will remember you and all your kindness...

I offer deep gratitude for your warm welcome, open hearts, skilful actions and patient encouragement. So much caring! When I watched the garden workers, ate the food, and encountered the orderly housekeeping staff, I could see the solid foundation of this care.
My own obstacles of mind arose endlessly. The atmosphere is one of offering and it was for me to engage mindfully or get best in confusion or fall into distraction. Fortunately each was impermanent from moment to moment. My intention is to do my best to follow the path and then to return.
Deep bow,

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
I am very grateful and I thank you very much for helping me to recover in such a beautiful and quiet place, full of love.
I had a super treatment to find health and peace surrounded by nice persons that provide you also the care and attention. When you stay here, you feel you are part of a much wider project by helping this joyful community and supporting its projects (particularly the orphanage).
A fantastic team that surround you with love, smile and empathy. I have been lucky to meet this team, to share moments with all of them, and am looking forward to come back.
Many thanks to all the V team!

Once again Vaidyagrama has made me feel like a child returning home. The care I receive here is like NOTHING else I’ve ever experienced from any other place of healing. This place is that healing!! I have come to see my therapists as my mothers, here to care!!
I am very excited to incorporate Ayurveda to my everyday life and career. It makes me think that I have FINALLY found something that I am passionate about, that has helped me tremendously, and that I want to share with the world / sphere I influence.
Thank you for sticking with me through all of the ups/downs of my life, and for getting me through this process with grace and ease. The treatments are amazing!! Thank you to all of the behind the scenes staff (housekeeping, maintenance, administration, accounting, front desk, security, garden/ grounds worker, farmers, transport (taxi), IT, teachers ... and of course, the kitchen staff!! I hope to become great like you :)
Truly, VG has captured my attention and affection!!!
THANK YOU.
Please come visit California any time (even if I’m not there) and I am happy to offer travel advice and welcome you to the West Coast.

It is difficult for me to express in words the depth of gratitude I have to you for the opportunity and privilege of staying with you for my healing journey.
Before coming here, myself and life were in a dark place. I had little hope or faith that the world had any good left, that malevolent forces had stamped out any efforts to bring humanity back into balance with nature. I had become so without hope that I had taken to obsessive and self-destructive habits, glued to screens and always looking for my next tasty cornucopia of unhealthy food. I had disconnected from the world and the people in my life, thinking that any form of connection could only bring pain, because of course, there was no hope of saving our world.
But the unfathomable graciousness and dedication of everyone here, from the doctors and therapists, to the cooks and cleaners, has made me realise there are still people who believe it is possible to restore balance in our lives and with nature. You move with a purpose that demonstrate your belief that this is worth doing, worth fighting for. The depth and vastness of your love, compassion and prosperity is in itself a joy and has given me the positivity and hope. I was very sorely lacking. I feel energized now to begin on taking on the table of rebuilding with joyfulness.
Thank you so much for everything. I hope to come back and give back very soon!
Warm Regards,

Our sincere thanks to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Harikumar and Dr Anupama for their personal attention, care and time. Our thanks also to all the staff who, in one way or the other, contributed to our stay here. A special thanks to Punitha for her patience with Wi-Fi. We came here with trepidation and were 'lost' at first, but then Vaidyagrama wrapped its arm around us.
The well-planned layout, the greenery, the peacocks, the bird song, the service, the friends from the world over, will be an experience long remembered (except the heat!). God willing, we will come again.
Once again our most sincere thanks.

This has been the most precious gift for what has been a very cloudy mid-point in my life. To be able to just slow down and to stop running from my true nature has been a rare and precious opportunity. Since I arrived, I was greeted with care, patience, warmth and a steady humour.
The staff have all shone with a collective dedication that has enabled experience to be eager every time. I return home a better man in many ways.
Thank you with all my being!

I was totally in a different world since 21 days. Wonderful program and spiritual environment!
This program is helping the person to care physically, psychologically and spiritually. It has given me opportunity to meet new people from different places of world and make friends. I understand no medicine will help if you are not well with your mind and stress.
Nice and service oriented employees. So impressed with the Vision of Punarnava and learn about future plans.
I will look for some research wing in Vaidyagrama on Ayurveda and make doctors involve in new intentions.

Hare Krishna! Excellent satvik atmosphere. Excellent physicians, therapists and housekeeping. It was like a home away from home.
A suggestion I want to give being a homeopathic graduate – there is all burden on the physicians. I think it should be a hierarchy where everyone is given responsibility from bottom to top in medical section.
Special instructions of vegetables, food and fruits recommended for the Vata, pitta, and kapha would be appreciated at the time of discharge.

Stay at Vaidyagrama in room no 208 was a pleasant experience.
General service and caring provided by both attendants was adequate. They always responded swiftly for any need we required. The girls and boys during massage know their job very well and are doing very nice job. We do have a special admiration for therapists. The girl Geethu was very particular for coming and asking for the food I shall be getting.
A special note for the office staff, as they were always helpful. IT staff helped me to best of their capacity within constraint of no connectivity of my mobile phone.
The line of treatment provided by Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Harikumar & Dr. Anupama had cared for both of us well.
Staff of housekeeping and maintenance were always available.
In case due to any reason I have been upset regarding food or other services, I found related team members, well understanding and cooperative to meet my needs.
I wish you all very best for your future!

There are things we feel as imaginary...
- Singing birds
- Smiling trees and plants
- Welcoming and smiling people
- Doctors & staff, therapists and other who work around, who all feel like your own family
- Attentive and always ready to help.
- Where people old and young, smart and uneducated, lives as a family (United one!)
- You can come here and leave all your worries, living free with full trust in the system Vaidyagrama have created.
The culture of community, culture of love, when it is developed, the healing follows.
My heartiest wish to Vaidyagrama, to maintain and grow this lovely family and culture.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of me. I can’t put in word how much you have helped me.
You looked after me so well and were there every moment I needed you. I feel so relaxed and clean now, and have all the strength to face the big world again.
What you do here is GOLD!
You didn’t just heal a part of me, you do a great benefit to Mother Nature, your people (the natives) and the one who are in great need for it. The world needs more places like you.

If traditional Ayurveda is one of the great wonders of the world, then Vaidyagrama is a “world heritage” site for authentic healing, learning and living in harmony with ourselves, the community and the natural world.
This is my 4th visit in 6 years. Each time I am in awe of growth, improvements and qualities of care. And each time I return home feeling lighter, healthier, younger, wiser, more clear and positive, devoted and grateful for this incredible place of healing.
These simple, yet profound disciplines, rituals, diets and philosophy are becoming more integrated into my lifestyle as a result of the treatments and opening myself more and more to this way of life, my health issues have become asymptomatic and my mind gained right understanding and better choices in my daily life.
Dr. Harikrishnan is an incredibly humble man whose sincere guidance, wisdom and generosity nourished me physically and spiritually. Thank you for your care and cure as well as supporting my devotional l path. Thanks Dr. Kesari, for your friendship and support with Sanskrit, and your psychological and philosophical support will remain with me. Dr. Athulya is a ray of sunshine whose inner joy, light heartedness and competence help to make each day at Vaidyagrama a joy.
Lakshmi is the best therapist I have ever experienced; she is a model of uncompromising quality of care, untiring and hard work. It’s hard not to feel as if you are the only patient. Thank you to the whole team: Dr. Radhika, Abhila, Lavanya, Athira and Chembagam who cleaned my room daily, never failing to inquire into my wellbeing. And to all the staff : cooks, ground people, the lovely woman who taught me how to clean my lamp, reception, administration and Dr. Ramkumar who all contribute to this remarkable place and make up the Vaidyagrama family.
I carry you all in my heart with gratitude.
See you again soon.

Living in Vaidyagrama village has been an experience for the soul, heart and body.
Ayurveda is the healing method which seems to be healing in many levels. It aims also to take you to another level.
What I feel is that I have reached another awareness of my body, of my energy, of my emotions.
Doing Ayurveda in combination with yoga sets my senses free to experience what is beyond the limits of my body.

To my Vaidyagrama doctors- I was advised to come to your healing village with open mind, open heart and lots of faith in the guidance you would give me. In doing so you gave me back my Agni, which had been missing for quite some time.
I know that I am leaving here with all the tools I will need to finish the work at home, and since I made sure to get all of your email addresses you can count on hearing from me again, hopefully telling you about the positive progress I am experiencing!!
This is such a special place and I always felt cared for by everyone that works here - from my special meal requests to the guard at the gate letting me go in the sun to visit the temple when I used to sneak out, everyone seems to care.
Our world needs more places like Vaidyagrama and until that happens, I am grateful to have found you.
Thank you for your dedication to Ayurveda.

I am very pleased that I have come to Vaidyagrama for rejuvenation. My stay was pleasant. I would like to place on record, the doctors, staff for their commitment and sincerity. Their clarifications and explanations are simple and understandable. Though the treatment given to me had not much effect yet, I am confident that in the long run, it will get me cured and get steady.
I feel very fortunate to have come here and hope to make use whenever need arises. Though the temperature was warm now, it is a unique experience everyone should experience.
PS: Food served is too much. In spite of my request to reduce every day 2/3 food was wasted. Only 1/3rd I ate. Food quality is good.

VG is the embodiment of how an intentional community, living in harmony with nature, love and service have a profound impact on healing and awakening. The vision and environment here is transformational for body, mind and soul.
Thank you for all you do to support healing and optimal health. A special extension of gratitude to Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Krishnadas, Dr. Sajna, and all the therapists and staff in block 3 for caring for me with such love.

This is my second time been here under wonderful Dr. Ramadas. Side to him Dr. Aruna, Dr. Krishnadas, and Dr. Sajna all three attentive, sensitive and motivate, help making it easier to be encouraged. I’m glad I had the right, good team like them.
Treatment was very nice and professional. I like also the cleaner and garden worker around here. I think you should pay attention to inform the patients on the day of leave of doctors. It is important in relations for a trust between patients and doctors.
Thank you very much and plenty of appreciation and love.
You bring a lot of good and love to the world.

To everybody in Vaidyagrama,
This is my second visit. That itself says a lot about Vaidyagrama. Doctors, staff and the food make my stay as wholesome experience. Dr. Ramadas' caring as a doctor - it doesn’t seem like I was patient; more over I felt like I am his family member.
Of course the prayers in the morning and in the evening are memorable ones. Dr Ramkumar's satsangs are very educational and informative.
I felt I am very much blessed to be at Vaidyagrama. Here I feel I am spiritually energised also. I can recommend Vaidyagrama to anybody without any hesitation. I am hoping to bring my husband here next time I come. That means, I am coming back.
I am deeply touched by the amount of charitable work that Dr. Ramkumar, Ms.Geetha Mohandas and all others are doing around Vaidyagrama. This work also brings lot of positive energy into Vaidyagrama.
My best regards to each and every one at Vaidyagrama!
With best regards

Many greetings!
I am writing to express my utmost gratitude for this healing space, Vaidyagrama. I felt very held and safe in this container.
Thank you to all of my doctors.... Dr. Ramadas for your pearls of wisdom and teaching stories, Dr. Krishnadas for the dose of joy and laughter, and Dr. Sajna for your presence. Many thanks to all of my therapists. Archana, Prajisha, Shanthi and especially Bindu. Bindu was with me every day for 28 days I was a container of healing and compassion and care. I am not sure what i would have done with Bindhu s healing gifts.
To everyone, seen and behind the scenes, a deep, deep bow of respect, love and gratitude. Vaidyagrama is a very special place.

First, I wish to express my gratitude to the entire Vaidyagrama management and team for the excellent hospitality and care, me and my family was offered during our 3 weeks stay.
I came with problems of chronic allergy and it is now the 4th day after Virechanam that I feel free from any symptoms. I pray that I have recovered, and will follow the medication and food as advised, and hope that I will be free from this 25 years long ailment for life.
I am grateful to the team of doctors, therapists and other staff. Of particular mention is Dr Harikrishnan whose wisdom and guidance helped me out of this chronic problem. Thanks to the entire team for putting up with us and for being so helpful in every respect that made us feel like home away from home.
It was very enjoyable, and despite the hot weather, 3 weeks seem to have passed without realising that we have come to the end of our stay here.
Team Vaidyagrama - keep up the quality work you all so diligently accomplish to help people Heal Naturally.
We will be back!
Thanks a million,

I have been to many so called healing places, but all end up being either a spa or a weight reducing exercise. I was very sceptical when I was planning and the first thing I told Dr Harikrishnan that I did not want to lose weight. Having spent 21 days here I can confirm that Vaidyagrama offers most authentic Ayurveda treatment and with their holistic approach they are capable of dealing with incurable diseases also.
My experience has been excellent. Dr. Harikrishnan has been outstanding with every day care and holistic approach to what my body really needed. Dr. Aruna, Dr. Krishnadas, Dr. Shivajyothi have been very good support.
All staff, from kitchen and to therapists, cleaners, were nice and gentle. I strongly recommend people to visit Vaidyagrama once a year to cleanse their system for living a better life.

My message to all at Vaidyagrama!
Dear All,
When you look at the bigger picture I found everything in Vaidyagrama amazing and unique in approach. Remaining smaller details will evolve as time passes.
I found that everyone here makes sure that patients are taken care of well. All of the therapists and other care takers work hard to make us feel good and at home.
My Dr. Harikrishnan has spent time explaining the importance of spirituality during the healing process. All the doctors Dr. Kesari, Dr. Athulya, Dr. Aruna have excellent bedside manners.
One person in particular, Dr. Ramkumar, has given insight about life and how important it is to let go. He is a powerhouse of knowledge and charisma.
I loved Vaidyagrama philosophy. It has touched my core. Vaidyagrama is in my soul now.
See you all in October.
Love,

Dear Vaidyagrama ,
Thank you for making my 18 day stay in Vaidyagrama a decent and pleasant experience.
I would like to thank all the doctors, therapists, housekeeping staff, the gardeners and helpful reception and admin staff, for their dedication and sincerity in which they handled my treatment as well as making the environment pleasant.
The philosophy of bringing spirituality into the healing process is much appreciated. The various Satsangs conducted by doctors were very useful as well as enlightening, explaining how body which the basis of our live functions to alert us of the potential harm we are creating when we are not following the basic principles of food habits, exercise and rest, and most of all a positive attitude with a 'balanced mind'.
I would also like to suggest the following areas of improvement,
1. Reorganise the library such that the book can be easily found.
2. The kitchen pots which have been used for evening food preparation be cleaned and kept away the same night.
3. Train the young therapists so that they will continue their education beyond the school in which they have been trained.
I wish Vaidyagrama all the best in their serious approach to healing process as well as bringing awareness about body.
Thank you!

Dear Vaidyagrama,
My heartfelt thanks to all doctors, therapists, and all other support staff at Vaidyagrama. What can I say after this 21 days of soul searching experience here!
As I am gnawing at my pen wondering how I could thank all the people here enough for all dedication, care and service showered up on me during my stay here, I hear the buzzes of our dearest friends who without fail kept us company from sunset to sun rise, I mean the mosquitos.
Came here expecting this place to be just like any other hospitals that I have been to. Nevertheless, I was so wrong!
The satsangs, the morning and evening pujas and the sight of Swami Guru Priya Ananda,(the wondering monk in saffron) made me feel like I was at an ashram and completely forgot that this was a hospital.
A special thanks to Dr. Ram Kumar for his satsangs and a very special thanks to Dr. Ramanandan for appearing at the door 7.30 AM - 7.40AM, he comes around to check on my progress, Needless to say, I had to force myself out of bed early, not to be caught sleeping by him!
So, thank you everyone@ Vaidyagrama. God bless all of you for your great services and take care everyone.
You will always be remembered!
Humble Pranams!

Vaidyagrama is a vision for the future of health that is built on the steadfast integrity of the ancient principles of Ayurveda and the spirit of right living. The excellent care from the doctors and the entire staff creates an atmosphere of safety and trust, where one can let go and relax.
The Satsangs were great and indispensable for understanding the process; as we went through it a wonderful camaraderie between the patients also developed. Prayers were the Alchemy.
Admittedly, I had moments of frustration and some doubt, and felt unclear of the choice being made. I feel that more time could have been given to explaining what was going to happen and why. That said, when I ask the right questions they were answered with excellent clarity. Special thanks to Dr. Aruna Ji and Dr. Ram Kumar for that.
Vaidyagrama is a blessed place! I believe in your work for the future of the health and humanity. From my heart thank you for your unwavering care, love and clear attention.
With love and pranams,

Thank you very much for your kindness, hospitality and for making our stay very enriching. The entire campus is beautiful and serene. Every person has been polite, thoughtful and always wanting to help and serve.
The treatment has been a wonderful experience and after many years, I didn't have a single moment when I felt heavy in stomach. The food was natural and also tastefully prepared.
We are particularly impressed with your activities to support an orphanage, old people in the surrounding villages and build a beautiful self-sustaining village based on Ayurvedic principles.
We wish Vaidyagrama the very best and look forward to coming here again.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
It was a wonderful experience staying here for 21 days. The place is really beautiful with the pathways connecting all the blocks. We have learned a lot about the lifestyle, food etc after coming to Vaidyagrama, which we would implement after going back home. It was a total different experience to get treated, learn about body constitution, herbs, food and many other things. We did not miss a single Satsang since arrival.
It was difficult initially to stay without TV, AC, internet in room. After a couple of days, we felt good to give ourselves rest during treatment and stay without social media, internet full day, work etc.
The only suggestion from our side is to do something for the flies, bugs etc, as it may give stress to few patients like me.
Thank you!

I am sitting here staring at the box of medicines I am taking home with me. I am leaving yet, I am taking a whole check of Vaidyagrama with me.
I have been with you all for a month. It’s mainly been a joyful time, yet a little frustration crept in, which I couldn’t quite overcome cos of the language barrier to explain my needs! Despite that, you all did your best to get me back and made end out of the pain, for which I thank you!
I am grateful for the loving care of doctors, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Anupama, and Dr. Sivajyothi. Dr. Ram especially for his kindness and thoughtfulness.
Vaidyagrama is a very special place for sure, and there are some exceptional people here to attend we all. The smiling and very sweet therapists and the expert hands of Devaki.
I am sad to leave, yet happy to go back to the world with none, to be with my family again.
And these medicines that sit before me will be a daily reminder of you all.
Thank you for everything!

Thanks so much for your healing prayers and your explanations about this, Dr. Ramadas. It is not only the body, but you have to maintain the body and follow that.

Vaidyagrama has been a good experience for us. All the doctors and therapists and other staff also supported very nicely.
We are feeling like a new family together. The treatment was very good. Before I came to Vaidyagrama I felt like very tired and had leg pain also. After the treatments I felt very strong in my mind and body as well. So, I recommend to all the ill people to cure your problems and rejuvenate their body and mind here.
Once for all, it is a very good experience; not only for me but for my family also. They also liked this place very much. So, we are wholeheartedly satisfied.
God bless you all!

Vaidyagrama is the very epitome of a relaxed, stress- free environment! I wasn’t quite sure what I would experience here…and was pleasantly surprised.
Vaidyagrama is clean, green, well-organised and most things happen like clockwork. The doctors, therapists and staff are wonderful. I will definitely recommend it highly to friends and relatives.
The only two things I felt could do with some improvement was the food and language barriers. I felt that due to the limitations on the food could have been presented through different recipes. Secondly the staff here are very wonderful, but it is hard to communicate with some of them. A basic training in English could help, especially with international patients.
Other than that, I truly enjoyed being at Vaidyagrama.
All the best!

Dear vaidyagrama team,
I thank each one of you that work here especially those behind the scenes to make this beautiful Vision of yours work.
I have met some of the best doctors and people here. I love the attention and care that I received here during my panchakarma. I felt truly looked after and nurtured. This panchakarma treatment, with all its challenges, has been a very transformative experience for my body, mind and spirit. I have learnt so much and I am deeply thankful for that.
I know that I will be back and will be bringing more of my friends and family with me so that they too can understand and experience the beauty of ayurveda. It is also such an amazing thing to see ayurveda being preserved and practised in its authentic from here. Finally I have to say that I may be leaving with much more wisdom, understanding and peace that I came here with.
Am always in gratitude.
See you soon.
Love, peace, light

This was my first visit to Vaidyagrama and I already want to return. I have had a wonderful experience! The therapists are amazing, particularly Prajisha and Shyni. They did a fantastic job and I always felt well looked after.
My symptoms have all improved a lot since being here, it is a very restful healing environment. The Doctors are great, I felt listened to and taken care of by them. I am so grateful to have had this experience and hope I can come back one day.
I really liked the food! So different to my normal diet, so I was always happy with it.
My only negative comment would be sometimes the drains smelled really bad- I am not sure if anything can be done about this, but it could be quite off putting sometimes. But this is a minor thing – otherwise I have been totally happy with everything.
Thank you to everyone at Vaidyagrama for such a beautiful month.

Thank God for choosing Vaidyagrama facility!
It is an experience and I really enjoyed staying in Vaidyagrama. I have never seen my sugar level so low as 4.6 first day, followed by 6.6 next day after having very good sleep at night.
Clean environment, melodious songs from birds and facilities heal our mind, body and spirit. Trained staff, good hospitality at Vaidyagrama and am greatly benefited.
Thank you Dr. Ramadas and colleagues for your great care at the facility.

We have been coming to Vaidyagrama for the last ten years or so. This time our stay is short because of our other travel plans. I came with minor aches and pains but in five to six days I have recovered and I feel fit. The therapists are well trained and experienced and do a wonderful job. The treatment is given under the supervision of senior doctors, the staff who serve the food and medicines are also trained well and they don’t make any mistakes. The food has also improved considerably and there is no way one can complain.
Even though our stay was short, it has been a wonderful experience. We look forward to coming here for a longer stay shortly.

The doctors are very patient and the therapists are skilled. The staff serving food and medicine are very prompt. Always smiling and doing all they can to make the stay and treatment comfortable. I recommended this place/ will recommend to every one looking to rejuvenate their bodies and minds, people having some issues on for general wellbeing. Had a wonderful stay and going back enriched; this place and people helped me heal.
God bless,

Surroundings - When I entered Vaidyagrama the beautiful trees and plants gave me a warm welcome I didn't feel like a patient; I thought I have come for a holiday!
Doctors were Dr. Ramdas and Dr. Hari Kumar and the junior doctor Harikesh all are wonderful doctors, who took great care of their patients. Dr. HariKumar is a gentle and very caring and devoted. Dr. Ramdas, he is a god given gift to Vaidyagrama with his medical and spiritual knowledge patients are greatly benefited.
Therapists all are very well trained; patients feel comfortable and at ease with them in the treatment room.
Food- It is a very time conscious supply round the clock! These 21 days, not once it got delayed; it was steaming hot and quite tasty… it is very well organised.
Prayers- The morning and evening prayers give so much of peace and happiness to the patients; with that positive energy, half the sickness is vanished.
Satsang- is very useful and Saturday get together Dinners are enjoyable.
Rooms- any small complaint also is registered and immediately attended to; very good maintenance; the staff cleans the room well and they are well trained.
On the whole, the patients when they leave after the treatment, they are healthy both in body as well as in mind too.
With all my heart I wish this very well-run organisation a great success always in their wonderful service to the people!
As a plant lover I have a suggestion regarding the garden – If the trees and shrubs are planted in a little more organised manner, the garden will look all the more better and beautiful.

I have been a rheumatoid arthritis patient for the past 6 years walking with lots of pain in the joints and mentally fed up and depressed. It was my daily routine to warm up and the walk will take 2 hours; energy level was very low; could walk only with the help of a Walker; my feet numb; fingers bend; and the skin got black and patchy because of poor circulation problems aggravated my discomfort and pain.
I walked into Vaidyagrama with not much hope, and mind felt fear and anxiety; so the doctors explained and got rid of fear, gave a lot of encouragement and hope, and made me see the correct way.
I have undergone treatment for the last 15 days; I cannot myself believe of the changes that have happened to me. No more pains and aches on waking; sound sleep at night; no constipation; treatment has done a world of good for me. I feel refreshed and happy; black patches have almost disappeared; with improved circulation I can walk now without the Walker.
My mind is full of care, my family is also happy for me. I can only say that God should bless all the doctors and staff with his choicest blessings. I am deeply grateful to all, and wish them all the very best.

After a sound sleep, waking up to hear the delightful chatter of birds and feast for my eyes on the various shades of Green Leaves and colourful flowers, and breathing in the clean air, is such a happy experience and a wonderful way to start the day!
The treatment, bath are so soothing and luxurious. The staff are well trained and they do their work so carefully and with care. After having home food, getting used to bland takes a day or two; the vegs are so fresh and tasty.
The first change that I noticed with my body is that at home, on waking up there used to be a slimy coating on the gums, which needed brushing and cleaning the teeth. Here I am surprised to find my mouth so clear and fresh that I forgot to brush at times. Day by day all the pain and weariness disappear. The skin which was so dry got a smooth and fresh texture, the bath leaves me quite well and makes me want to sleep again.
Doctors are prompt in their assistance and care. The staff are always with a smile and so polite. Satsang, prayers and group dinners are enjoyable. The rooms are well furnished. This place is a rest heaven.
The introduction papers have such a light and small writing, and it gets difficult for senior citizens to read – so please make them in bold and bigger font. You could also add elementary basics of Ayurveda, and a small description of the various stages of preparation etc. Patients have a lot of time in between, so light, useful reading would be welcome.
I thank everyone here for making my stay a very happy.

This small world you have created is a mirror for a healthy, beautiful life….that I will bring home with me, to be together with doctors, therapists, housekeepers….that can pray with you at the beginning and end of the day brings balance, beauty and peace to my soul. This is the world I have dreamt of my whole life. I believe this is the true medicine we need to develop for our children. This is for me at home, this is a home for my soul.
Thank you for what you have created, thank you for believing in it. We will meet again, God bless you.

Vaidyagrama has been a very good experience. I was looked after by Dr. Ramanandan and Dr.Kesari. Both were extremely meticulous and good listeners. They have given me treatment, which I hope to continue in Mumbai to improve my health. The lady staff who did our treatment were very good and helpful.
The only downside was the food. We were being served food repetitively for most meals. We requested for a change though.
I am giving this as a positive criticism to a place, which is otherwise very well run.

Namaskar!
I have learnt here the importance and the need to take care of myself...Both body and soul, as it is the connection necessary to be able to be healed and this teaching came through all the care. I have been given details of the life here and how to live, as I can reapply on my body, at this "healing village" where all the work coming with compassion for Mother Nature and its children. It is given the healers themselves in the prayers and Satsangs, to make sense of the meaning of the pulse / the heart of the loving Nature.
In its practical sense, it means giving an invitation to prepare, look, understand Ayurveda gestures to accomplish this caring for one self and the Self.
I am very grateful that I was introduced to the level of quality of Vision.
Bravo! ...and thank you to the team of "healing village".

I came to Vaidyagrama with some trepidation. While my friends Rajasree had recommended it lightly. I wasn’t sure what to expect.
My experience has been more than I had anticipated... the green, quiet, clean and friendly atmosphere made me relax almost immediately. Dr.Ramanandan, Dr.Kesari and Dr.Athulya have been super patient and understanding. Your intuitiveness amazes me, Dr. Ramanandan.
My therapists Vaishnavi and Lavanya were good and I was amazed at the punctuality with which the various patients would arrive. I go away feeling rested and calm. I also know that 10 days is not enough to feel the full benefits of the cleansing. I know I will be back.

Dear Vaidyagrama
Thanks for everything that I got here, the care, love and attention. It was another great experience for me, second time in 3 years.
Apart from the therapy and medicines, the secure atmosphere calms down your mind. I must mention the satsang. The insights and knowledge we get here will go a long way in our lives.
I am especially thankful to Dr. Harikrishnan and therapists.
Thanks,

How blessed am I? First I came as a student for one month course, then unexpectedly a change of plan occurred and I stayed on as a patient. During the almost two month stay, I have fallen in love with this place, the people, the weather, the food, the plants, the clouds in the sky, the raindrops and the snails.
This was my first time visiting India, yet I felt like coming home. In two days am leaving with my take-home medicines, and I know I will miss everyone, I will miss the warm or shy, smiles, and the genuine 'how are you?'; the mosquito, the smoke-cart man, the garden cleaning women, the office people, the pharmacy people, the therapists, the doctors, the children, everyone.
Where the heart is- that is home, and my heart embraces Vaidyagrama, here I feel home.
Am so grateful, so humbled, so happy, to have come home. Thank you everyone, now I feel like part of a huge family! All and one, one and all, no separation only connection.
With love,

Dear Vaidyagrama team
What a wonderful experience this has been, though I admit that I did come with some scepticism. This is truly utopia for us who were tired in body and mind. You have truly worked wonders with me....I go back feeling totally rejuvenated and clear headed.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr.HariKrishnan, Dr.Aruna, Dr.Krishnadas and Dr.SivaJyothi you have shown tremendous patience, care and affection. I shall miss you all! Also a special thanks to my therapist Vidya, Shiny and Athira who were just lovely and ready to assist anytime.
Prayer time was made truly special by Dr.Ramadas. My constant questions to Dr Ramkumar were always attended with the large dose of humour.
Thank you Preeti for your delicious recipes, which I shall definitely make, and thus remember you all in vaidyagrama family.
This was my first visit, but will definitely not be my last.
With much love and appreciation,
Namaskar!

I am glad that I took Dr Kalpana Sampath's suggestion and came here to Vaidyagrama.
Ayurveda treatments are not new to us. But this place is a totally different experience. I was very apprehensive to try some of the treatments for my daughter due to her complex medical condition.
Dr.Ramanandan made us more comfortable and answered all my questions patiently, thoroughly with diligence. He is an amazing doctor, kind and a wonderful human being blessed with a lot of goodness. Thank you Dr. Ramanandan for all your expertise.
Dr.Anupama's services should also be acknowledged. She is very thorough and was a big support throughout this 21 days stay. Her patience in answering all my questions, irrespective of treatments/ medication and caring attitude is very much appreciated. Thank you Dr.Anupama, Samiksha/ Sami will always smile at your pictures.
The therapists Reshma, Shyni, Sindhu, Mrudula, and Mythili all dressed with a healing touch. Sakthi is an angel and big thanks to her for patience and for keeping their place super clean and tidy.
Mythili made sure we got all our kashayam and other medicines from dawn to dusk on time. Special thank you for Mythili, her system is so organized.
The satsangs with Dr.Ramadas and Dr. Ramanandan were eye openers, and all the presentations have made me to make a better choice and look at things in a different perspective and make some healthy choice.
Dr. Ramadas' chanting were so soulful and we will miss that so much. Dr. Ramanandan is not only a super doctor, but a singer too. I will miss hearing those songs/ singings.
Lastly, the whole place is so beautiful, lush green and waking up to the sounds of birds chirping and the beautiful trees and plants are real heaven.
Everybody helped whenever needed. The girls at the reception Aruna, Jency and Sonia are awesome and friendly....
I would definitely visit next year!

When I ventured to come alone to Coimbatore, I had lot of apprehensions about the place, stay, the treatment and the food.
Enter Vaidyagrama; smiling reception staff with a welcome drink, cuckoo and music, chirping of birds, green everywhere, amazing atmosphere, no vehicle sounds, no vendors... O My God, this is heaven...
I have heard about VIP treatment, actually I got it here!
Dr.Ramanandan, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Athulya, Dr. Kesari for 21 days I was in safe hands of divine healing. Dr.Anupama was an angel. Thanks to Aparna for answering all my silly questions. Therapists- Mythili, Reshma, Sindhu- A big thank you to all. Shakti was solely responsible for the tidying and clean up keep of my room.
What to say about Dr. Ramanandan...He could have been a political leader- Always smiling, making fun, taking pulse, testing my eyes and tongue, writing report, and going about his work silently and diligently.
Dr Ramadas, I can never forget his metallic voice. Nobody missed the prayers when he chanted.
I came here for detox and cleansing, also to regulate the sugar level.
Definitely, now I am energetic and feel lighter. Of course I will have to continue the food habit I was taught here. This is really a good experience. I wish to come here again, but for the kanji in breakfast. I will miss Vaidyagrama!

Vaidyagrama has been an oasis of peace, attention and with an amazing understanding of a patient's medical woes.
Dr.Ramadas and all the other doctors have shown great patience and comprehension of what ails a person; they have guidance and medicines to help in one’s recovery. The lectures have given us an insight in to the world of Ayurveda. This has been very special experience of how we should be living our lives and looking after our bodies and minds.
Am truly looking forward to my next trip here, thanks a lot for helping me out in this wonderful journey!

This is our second visit to Vaidyagrama. We had come for the first time in 2014 and from then on, we see tremendous growth in the centre. It is very heartening to see the passion, dedication and commitment in the staff, therapists and doctors.
We are surprised to see the care with which the management takes care of its employees, from a crèche to so many benefits for them which not many multinational companies provide for their employees.
We came in this time with specific treatment for our leg problem due to diabetes. After 20 days of treatment, we are setting back with much improvement and a better and rejuvenated mind and spirit.
Thanks to our classmate Dr J M Sampath who referred this place; to Dr. Ramkumar and Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Krishnadas.

My therapists Vaishnavi, Lavanya, Mrudula and Lakshmi, your healing touch will be missed.
Thank you to all the people who cleaned my room and everyone involved in giving nourishing food. Lastly all the Vaidyagrama people who I did not meet, but are a big part of to my stay.
I will miss Dr Ramkumar's Sat sang, Dr.Ramadas' prayer and chanting.
I go back healed and a transformed person. And would like to come back again. Vaidyagrama, you will be missed!

Beautiful place to heal, in sync with Nature and its rhythms. Amazing doctors especially Dr.Ramanandan, Dr Kesari and Dr Athulya with their constant personal attention, support and encouragement.
From kashayam to the last bedtime medication - all was very well organised and with attention given to detail.
Very skilled and warm therapist especially Shyni. Going back healed, rejuvenated mentally and physically.
The prayers with Dr. Ramadas, Satsangs with Dr Ramkumar and chats with Aparna were the added bonus.
Thank you!

This is Dr Lajja Shastri. I am quite glad that I opted to visit Vaidyagrama for treatment of my skin allergies. My doctors- Dr Ramananadan, Dr Kesari and Dr Athulya were everything that one would want their doctors to be – attentive, thorough and diligent in their practice. What makes their behaviour special, is their compassion for patients and I am very grateful for that.
My stay of 18days was tougher than I expected since I had no experience of Ayurveda treatment. The treatment was made bearable due to the constant support of the doctors.
The only thing that I perceive as a weak link is the food. I understand that it is a hospital and I am a patient, but there is a lot that can be done to make the food more palatable for the patients.
It is certainly difficult to sustain on the completely tasteless kanji for 10 days. I would humbly request someone to make an effort to provide a more edible food, even if we have to be restricted with the ingredients during treatments.
I hope to see myself cured of my ailments at the end of next 3 months. But I certainly will remember vaidyagrama very fondly.... especially my therapist Shyni, my doctors, Aparna and the satangs with Dr Ramkumar and Dr Ramanandan... thanks to everyone!

It has been a wonderful experience at Vaidyagrama. Under the treatment of Dr Harikrishnan and his able team, the tough days too went by smoothly.
Thanks to Dr. Aruna and Dr. Sivajyothi and their comforting words, I have had a good stay.
The team of therapists too were wonderful and caring. Vaidyagrama is truly living by the term, Back to Nature.
The satsangs were very informative and a good place to exchange our ideas and anxieties.
The housekeeping staff and front office too has friendly people always ready to help.
Thank you for the soul satisfying experience!

I came to Vaidyagrama for a very short period of time. The purpose was rest and relaxation, and a break from the busy, chaotic big city life.
I enjoyed the simplicity of life at Vaidyagrama, and it brought to fore the abuse we subject our bodies to, in our everyday lives in the outside world. It’s hard to make a drastic change, but I am hoping to make little changes to start with.
The peace and quiet at Vaidyagrama make it immensely amenable to reflection. I have had a relaxing time and am returning rejuvenated.
The doctors were attentive and the staff and therapists were helpful and efficient.
Thank you for a very efficient experience!

Vaidyagrama... The temple of body and soul.
As we keep sinking deeper and deeper in the Whirlpool of the Ultra-modern world of technology, our mind gets corrupted and does things affecting health and emotions.
Vaidyagrama is like a healing balm that helps you to reconnect with the nature.
We learn the simple ways of healthy living through food for body and spiritual minds.
We are absolutely grateful to Dr Ramkumar, Dr Harikrishnan and all other doctors who are tirelessly involved in preserving the age-old Ayurveda way of living.
Our gratitude to the therapists and all the staff members for taking such good care.
Always smiling and ready to lend a helping hand. We will of course miss the delicious Kanji (ha ha ha) back home! But on a serious note, it will always be our pleasure to come back again and again.

All factors favourable for the healing of a person are taken care of very well in Vaidyagrama- Comfortable and hygienic rooms, healthy food, caring Doctors, dedicated therapists, pleasant staff, natural and unpolluted environment and the touch of Divinity.
As a Swami, felt I was living in an Ashram. Perhaps visiting hours of Doctors can be fixed for patients.
May Vaidyagrama serve more and more people!

Dear Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Sajna, Dr. Radhika, Bindu, Preeti, Aparna, everyone at Vaidyagrama and Dr. Ramkumar, dear birds, trees, flowers, cats, snails, butterflies, frogs, winds, rains and sun.
You have all helped me to initiate a journey that was long to come and much needed. And I am deeply grateful for your guidance and love. And I carry this with me as I leave. I have deeply enjoyed every aspect of Vaidyagrama...from the wind that whistled past the trees outside my verandah on the first day - my chest seemed to open up to its tune - to the delightful smile and serenity that pervade each member of the team, so soothing to receive.
The treatments, the food, the prayers, the Yoga and satsangs have provided an invaluable frame to enter into a paradise that I now know will heal and strengthen me as life proceeds. I now awake each morning with the rhythms and words of the prayers dancing in my mind, even before the bell starts to ring!! I cherish this and thank all the doctors who have lead the prayers.
The yoga sessions have been wonderful too!! And the Satsangs, a deep source of understanding. Dr. Ramkumar’s baritone voice echoes too inside me. I am also grateful to all the wonderful fellow guests here - who welcomed me warmly to the community. I have learnt something from each one and thank them all sincerely!
I now carry vaidyagrama’s spirit with me and I am sure to return. In the meantime I send my love to each and every one I have met here.

I came at a time, when my health was not at its best. The beautiful, serene environment of Vaidyagrama, constant care of my therapists, doctors and everyone here have helped me tremendously and I am heading back in a new avatar.
I will miss the conversations with Dr. Ramadas, true diagnosis of Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Sajna, the loving care of Bindu, the trees, my balcony, delicious Dosas (many) that Preeti prepared for me, so that I don’t miss eating the Roti. All of it that has taken my heart.
I hope to come back really soon and hope to follow all what Vaidyagrama has taught me and I hope not to disappoint Dr. Ramadas by doing regular mischief in my food habits. Happy healing!

I arrived here to join my daughter in this healing Ayurveda Centre. Focusing on making the most in this "Retreat", away from the stressful lifestyle for 10 days. But I quickly requested to stay/to lengthen my visit to the 3 weeks necessary for getting a valid diagnosis of my Dosha evaluation.
I was stunned by this little community/ family of staff members, forever checking on me, attending to my needs. The atmosphere spells forward light, harmony and happiness of a "home".
Being avid to educate myself on "Ayurveda", I attended the informal Satsangs, where residents are given the chance to share their experiences, and their personal issues, which were the subjects of talks from masters, Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Harikumar, and the lady speakers of the day. Forever grateful to my doctors Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Kesari, and the ever-present Dr. Anupama.

This is Suguna Srikrishnan. Vaidyagrama was a divine experience. I was here only for 4 days, just to experience the place.
I am coming back in November for a complete 3 weeks treatment. I loved everything about this place. I wish I knew about this place much before. Thanks to Dr. Ramkumar, I am here in Vaidyagrama.
I was taken very good care for these 4 days. Looking forward to come again. I hope to bring my family too, for a complete mind and body rejuvenation.
With best wishes,
Keep doing the good works!

This is my first visit here in Vaidyagrama. First of all, I am so thankful to all doctors and staff for their work and kindness.
Also, I would like to thank to Dr. Ramkumar and whoever behind this wonderful idea and concept, very carefully managing and co-operating working together.
Since I am here during treatment I have met many people from different countries, sharing their experience regarding improvement, during stay in Vaidyagrama.
Also, I would like to say thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Sivajothi for their care on me.
I wish I would not come to Vaidyagrama again for treatment, but just to get the good vibration, atmosphere.
I wish to all Vaidyagrama village people, much love and peace.
Also, I wish Vaidyagrama could do this service for many years.

This is my 5th visit and treatment at Vaidyagrama. Each time I return here, I am welcomed by family. Vaidyagrama has become my home away from home- a sanctuary of health and authentic living.

Thank you for admitting me at last and late notice, and for your nurturing + loving care for the acute condition I found myself in.
Feeling better, rejuvenated, and ever so grateful for your devotion and work in world.

It was truly exceptional experience to be here and relearn many things about Ayurveda and the Indian system of healing. Vaidyagrama truly is one of the most sincere and genuine centres of healing and I deeply admire the integrity of the place itself and of every member that’s a part of this beautiful community and made this place what it is. I am so grateful to Dr Ramadas for his exceptional spirit and energy and being like a generous father when giving advice and leading by example with his discipline. I am also truly grateful to all the therapists and Dr. Radhika for being so present, gentle and sweet.
I am so grateful that I have finally crossed paths with a community that dwells in wisdom of true and genuine Ayurveda and share its gems so generously.
I can’t wait to the back for a much longer stay with my family and heal together with them.
Lots of love ,

Leaving the family and your home behind is never easy. But somehow Vaidyagrama made it less difficult. Caring doctors, welcoming staff, friendly patients, nature’s beauty, inspiring talks and prayers every morning and evening. Definitely filled my heart during my stay.
I would like to thank everyone who made my stay so enjoyable. Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Anupama, who have always been very patient and encouraging. Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Kesari and Dr. Athulya for their constant support. My very sweet therapists, Sindhu, Jayasree, Abhila, Shyni and others who are all so caring. This is my second time and I look forward to coming next year.
Kind regards,

I am so grateful that words are not sufficient to express it. I have been waiting to come to Vaidyagrama, since I first heard about you all from a previous patient in 2012! The moment when I arrived, I cried from feeling the energy of Vaidyagrama. I knew deep healing would occur here. And it did, thanks to the incredible and gracious staff here. The environment itself holds you in its deep intent to honour nature, to honour Ayurveda, and to honour holding space for the body to heal itself.
I am forever changed by this experience, I already know. Thank you, thank you thank you to everyone... Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Harikesh, Dr. Radhika, Dr. Sajna for working with me with intense care and support. To my therapists Bindu, Nithya, Nimmy and to Preeti and the kitchen staff and everyone else whose names escape me... Oh,Aparna!!
I hope to return some day.

I am very much thankful to the doctors, therapists, and to the helping staff who have taken care with love and affection.
I didn't realise that these 21 days have passed.
Wonderful atmosphere, lovely people.
Thanks again to Vaidyagrama and all the people at Vaidyagrama.

Last time I came for 10 days, but I regretted it later that I should have completed my 3 weeks treatments. And here I am again for 21 days. We (my family) you are searching for a authentic Ayurveda place and finally we found one.
I am very impressed by the whole team of Vaidyagrama. It is perfect. I wish all the best for the organisation and wish it remains like this forever and improve to better and better.
Thank you everybody at Vaidyagrama.

Vaidyagrama, Truly a gift.
Thank you for sharing your Vision, knowledge, service and community with the world.
My first Panchakarma experience was a blessing. I return home with their rested mind, improved digestion and more confidence to move forward in life with an open heart.
Unlike so many others, I loved the food! Simple, yet tasteful. I spent time observing and documenting so many insects and birds for my children. The silence here only magnifies the many sounds of birds, crickets and frogs, the wind rustling the greens, the distant "moo" of a cow. I shall miss the ringing of the Bells and beautiful songs of devotion heard throughout the day, as well as the library.. All so good! The community of people (doctors, therapists, back office, reception, ground keepers and housekeeping) keeping Vaidyagrama running are skilled and professional. Bright eyed and wide smiles, day in and day out...
May I be so fortunate to return, again some day!
With gratitude and great regards,

I came to Vaidyagrama with an open mind and positively focus in order to break from the reliance on Western medicine for my chronic condition with ongoing debilitating symptoms, which have been haunting me for years.
Though initially, a bit apprehensive about outcome and benefits from a 3 week treatment course, I came to the understanding and acceptance that the body has received the required preparation for healing to start.
So I go home tomorrow and remain hopeful that I can experience some improvements whilst maintaining the treatment regimen.
On reflection, may be the poor and erratic sleep during my stay has been a hindrance in the treatment process and hence not enabling a smooth path to recovery. But I am even so grateful to the doctors (Dr. Ramanand, Dr. Kesari & Dr. Athulya), the therapists ( Santosh, Arun & Zainudheen) as well as the other support staff ( Shyni, Prajeesha & Devi) for the full care and attention given throughout and ensuring a pleasurable stay.
Also my appreciation goes to Dr. Ramadas for the Satsangs and prayer sessions. Not to forget Siva and Yoganidra.
I have enjoyed Vaidyagrama for being a calm, serene and therapeutic environment set up to promote healing and healthy living through real Ayurveda practices.
Well done to the Vaidyagrama Team and keep up the splendid work.
Many Thanks again and Best Regards,

Vaidyagrama is synonymous to healing grama. It enfolds healing in layers. From the day I arrived, I experienced it each time.
Doctors at VG make it seem simple indeed, with their healing touch which is an assurance each morning.
I was apprehensive of myself before my stay here about my condition. This journey has given me an insight into my condition and the belief in healing.
Everything here is meticulously planned and executed with utmost sincerity and most importantly care!
The staff, all departments are sensitive to the condition of the patient and conduct themselves very well.
Therapists have an immense power of healing with each step and there is a lot in their hands.
Prayers and satsangs empowered me with spiritual awakening and Ayurveda awareness.
The space at VG is symbolic of Ayurveda heritage, I must say.
It provides with ample space and time. It helped me in taking my first step towards the journey of life which I had lost.
I found myself here, initially I was lost though.
Doctors helped me through this journey, answering my questions, listening patiently to all the questions... just like how a parent would listen to the child and without interrupting the question flow or thought flow of the child, and like a compassionate parent answering, guiding through life lessons.
Thank you so much for your patient listening. It matters so much.
A special mention about food here is must, it is nourishing not just the body it is so to the mind and soul.

Most peaceful, drink, eat and bathe medicines besides therapy which works wonders. We are at peace with oneself and very happy as going pain free. Will miss all the people of Vaidyagrama who are so disciplined, spiritual and committed. May God bless all of them. Thanks to Mr. S.K. Mohanka who sent us here and to Dr. Harikrishnan to treat us like his own kids and caution us timely. All the doctors and staff is caring like our family.
Thanks lord! Thanks Vaidyagrama!!

Dear Vaidyagrama,
It's been a pleasure to be here in this Eden of peace and serenity.
The care and love of the therapists Lakshmi who gives her treatments like she does her prayers in happiness, for Shalini and Deekshita are very caring and sweet girls.
For the doctors, their seriousness and their dedication on the all-day check-ups but as well on the Satsangs during which I learnt so much.
My forever thank you!
All my prayers and positive thoughts with always include you! I feel rejuvenated and in such better health. My spirits have lifted and I feel life starting a new chapter in my life.
And I should have mentioned the lovely people working for our comfort, cooks, cleaners and gardeners were lovely and knowledgeable Preeti too. Thanks to everyone in Vaidyagrama!

Thank you to the entire Vaidyagrama team for making my stay so positive, but a special thanks to Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar and Dr. Radhika. My therapists Geethu, Kalpana and Indu, and of course the beacon of light – Dr. Ramkumar with his excellent satsangs, clarifying complex issues with ease and simplicity.
Leaving Vaidyagrama more positive, calm, cheerful, and lighter in more ways than one.

I have been a regular at Vaidyagrama for the past three years. My symptoms of inflammation have reduced greatly. The goal of my stay here at Vaidyagrama was to feel better than when I come in, and I did.
Vaidyagrama is a place that heals the body and mind. I feel blessed to be treated with care and respect by all the staff. Their smiling face put a smile on mine every day.
Therapist Lakshmi was like a second mother to me. Devaki, Shalini and Deekshita were lovely.
Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Aruna, Dr. Sivajyothi and Dr. Mini took turns checking on me to make sure everything was fine.
Too many to name, and all were fantastic. Thanks to each and every one for making my stay as pleasant.
Look forward to coming again.

This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama although we heard of the place for many years now. I would describe it as a little heaven in the midst of kilometres of farm somewhere near Kerala.
As I came in the monsoon season, it has been raining a lot but the place and nurturing environment is such that they became our daily blue sky (from my mother who joined me and my self). I haven’t slept so well for 4 years now, I have been happily surprised with the food that I have loved, the kashayams and the treatments.
The whole team, the doctors, and therapists, the housekeeping (that we directly encountered) was amazing. And all those we met that were accomplishing different tasks (reception, fumigation, other staff) are equally gentle, smiling souls that make you felt being blessed in being in such a peaceful and wonderful place to heal.
Thank you Dr. Ramanandan for all your care and thank you also specially Dr. Anupama for checking on me all the times.

Vaidyagrama, a beautiful oasis, surrounded by field and coconut grove. It is a very peaceful place.
The living quarters are spacious with beautiful balcony nestled amongst trees. One wakes up with the sound of birds chirping. All the doctors Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Kesari were super. Dr. Ramanandan with his quiet efficiency gave us lots of confidence. Dr.Kesari is caring and helpful, and we enjoyed Dr. Ramadas' sense of humour.
We are leaving the clinic in better health than we came.

Vaidyagrama is a place like no other. When I first heard about it 2 weeks ago I was not really sure what I was getting into (my mum kept talking about this place); however, the day I got here, I was surprised by how kind and sweet everyone was? I felt a sense of homeliness and I am glad we came here.
Vaidyagrama is one of the best places to come for any kind of treatment. It's all good quality and very hygienic. The medicines don't have side effects. That's not something that's regularly seen in our world.
The treatments were excellent. All our (me and my mum) therapists and doctors were very kind to us. They always make sure we are comfortable with whatever we were doing. That meant the world to us.
The atmosphere of the place, not only treats and cures people, it also allows us, as patients to make some great friendship that I am sure will last a lifetime we truly made some great friends here.
Lastly I would like to thank a few people who really took care of us and made sure we wear fine. Firstly our doctors Dr Harikrishnan, Dr. Aruna, Dr. Sivajyothi. They were always there for us whenever be needed. All our therapist Shinymol, Athira, Vidya who pampered us like babies during the treatment and always helped us with the little things... and last but not the least, all the support staff who have been helping us and making sure everything runs smoothly.
Vaidyagrama is the best.
We hope Dr. Aruna has a safe delivery and cute baby. Thank you to Sarita aunty for making me smile little bit more each day...

I came to Vaidyagrama along with my elder brother and Bhabi for treatment of my problems faced due to stroke I had few years back, leg pain and other muscular problems. My brother and Bhabi are from USA and they joined me for their health problems.
We found the place very amazing with lush greenery and rooms very hygienic. Doctors, staff and therapists are very nice, cooperative and take utmost care of patients. We are very thankful to Dr. Kesari, Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Athulya for their care and their visit every day to sort out our health problems.
We came here on 1st July 18, for 14 days. We are leaving on 15th July with a decision to visit again next year. We will miss Dr. Ramkumar’s satsang and Dr. Ramdas’s prayer. I am feeling much better and pray to Almighty for further expansion of Vaidyagrama, with a request to please keep it up.

This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama and it is such a special place. There is so much ‘heart’ here –so much love and kindness.
I want to thank EVERYONE from the doctors to the therapists to the housekeepers to kitchen and support staff. Thank you for all the hours you put in and how much you have looked after me.
Special thanks to my doctors –Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Krishnadas, Dr. Mini (I know we only had a week together but you have been AMAZING!), Dr. Sivajyoti and Dr. Aruna (good luck with the new baby. I will be thinking of you!). Thank you for listening to me and caring.
Thank you for all the therapists - Archana and Devaki (sorry I will have spelled your names wrong!),
THANK YOU! Shenbegam- you are the BEST housekeeper, Preeti thanks for the chats and the food.
Aparna and Sonia thank you for checking up on me. And to everyone else. There are too many people!
Vaidyagrama is giving me the chance to finally heal, after so many years and when everyone else had given up on me.
I will miss you all.

To everyone,
I'm going to leave tomorrow feeling more positive about everything in life. I will cherish this time especially because of Dr. Ramadas' style of doing prayer and chanting slokas, because of Dr. Ramkumar's sessions which makes me rethink many concepts intelligently, because of wonderful friends made with whom I spent hours playing chess and cards, because of hard work and affection by Indu akka, Praveena akka and Dhanya sister and other therapists and housekeeping (forgot the names), because of keeping a good eye on me by Dr. Harikesh, Dr. Radhika and Dr. Sajna who took care of me like family, because of my love for ghee, kanji and boiled veggies and because of lizards, snails and cats.
Thanks much for giving me this experience of a life time. I will try my best to follow the guidance I have received here.

Vaidyagrama is truly a special kind of a place, more like a womb that nurtures and heals. The divine presence feels very strongly here, and all the routines are authentic, rituals hold the space for subtle experience.
Infinite gratitude goes to the knowledge of ancient seers and the tradition and lineage of the teachers passing down the skills through infinity.
Special thank you to the highly experienced doctors, nurses, cooks, cleaners, maintenance and other persons that make this mechanism work like a good clock.
Everyone puts their full heart in and striving for perfection is felt in each moment in each corner of the village. Thank you for friendship and acceptance. This place is amazing!
All the best wishes for this sacred place!

Vaidyagrama is a fantastic concept. A dream is coming true of which I am witness since last 3 years. It has evolved from Good to Better to Best, and I want to witness it as Excellent. There is a good scope for improvement in the field of administration and food management.
I am sure, Vaidya Ram Kumar and other excellent Vaidyas of his team with their dedicated staff members will achieve excellence very soon and I wish them Best all the way…….

I have been to two different Ayurveda retreats in Kerala, but the experience here has been unique.
The retreat is beautifully designed and set out in a peaceful location. The lush trees and carefully nurtured garden are impressive and soothing. What sets Vaidyagrama apart from others is the authenticity of its approach to treatments. Vaidyagrama has a great Team of doctors under the capable leadership of Dr. Ramkumar, all passionate about their work. The doctors are willing to spend time with the patients in the course of their respective ailments and the Ayurveda healing process.
Satsangs in the afternoon is a great feature to broaden the understanding about Ayurveda approach to life and the healing process.
I will certainly miss Dr. Ramadas' morning and evening prayer sessions. I found it also striking how well the staff are motivated and willing to please.
All in all I very much enjoyed my stay, felt much better at the end of the treatments and will really recommend Vaidyagrama to my friends and acquaintances.

I think I am lucky to have come here, and to really know a lot of things about Ayurveda. So here, there is no "patients", bur we feel like family members.
I can feel so much love from the people's smile, from the flowers, the trees, the sunshine,
I can feel the life really, like flower bloom. Here we not only know our self-body, but can also watch connectivity in the universe, connect with breath, with consciousness from Dr’s Satsangs. So every day was wonderful time for me.
Doctors always give us the positive mind and teaches us how to aware yourself even when one is emotional. I learned I should have the love and consciousness about Earth mother, then I really felt every cell opened and permitted love to everyone.
Thank you all. Thank you doctor for giving me so many patience and love, thank you therapists who always tried for the best for me. Thanks for kitchen workers for providing me delicious and homely-taste food, thank you plants for giving me fresh air.
I think I will come back soon. To visit all of you. This huge family. I love all of you...

Coming here year after year is very stimulating, rejuvenating and a peaceful experience.
The care and concern from the doctors, therapists and all ancillary staff makes me feel totally at home. Their warmth helps in the healing process. The Satsangs with the doctors are extremely informative. Their explanations for all our questions are satisfactory and an eye opener on many fronts.
The food as bland as it is, is nourishing, wholesome, and really not as bad as some people make it out to be.
Vaidyagrama has grown since my first visit here 9 years ago, into a flourishing Ayurveda treatment facility. May it continue to heal and nourish for many, many years, all the patients who came here from all the corners of the world. Thank you Dr. Ramanandan, you are a star!!
Thank you to the entire team that looked after me.

A truly authentic experience of healing here at vaidyagrama. I felt completely at ease in the hands of Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Aruna and Dr. Sivajyothi. Such completely caring and humble people. A refreshing change from today s rushed medical advice.
I want to also say thank you to my therapist Vidya for being caring and compassionate. I am sure she will heal many people during her time here.
I will surely come back again (though I hope I don't have to).
Keep doing what you are doing.

We came on the recommendation of a friend mainly for cleanse and “tune up.”
The experience here at Vaidyagrama has been one of complete care & nurturing. Our Doctors have been very attentive, professional and approachable. All personnel have been wonderful & the positive and healing energy is palpable.
We are leaving feeling enriched by experiences we did not expect. We are a little more knowledgeable about Ayurvedic healing.
We wish the team at Vaidyagrama well in proceeding with their vision, which is a very beautiful one.

Vaidyagrama is tranquillity. Never before have we been to such a calm, peaceful, and pleasant home. Every person here wears a smile. That is perhaps the beginning of all healing. From the housekeeping staff, to the therapists to the doctors, each one carries an aura of wellness in them. In such a quiet, I have been able to listen to what I feel about me from within. Often in clutter, we fail to listen to ourselves, but coming here is a way to self-discovery. This place is beauty, tranquillity and peace. We have received a lot of love from here and we leave lots more back here. We promise to come back another time for more number of days. When life is a race, places such as Vaidyagrama seem like a finish line. We will be back soon, thank you so much for so much of care.

Since I am a practitioner of Ayurveda in Japan, teaching at a small school, I knew the importance of ayurvedic lifestyle; but by coming here and spending some quiet time mostly by myself, my body and cells learnt the real meaning of it - the regular life style, simple food, early bed time, away from stress and smart phone etc. I stayed here only for 7 days, which was not enough to eradicate my problem; however the quietness of mind which I gained here is my treasure. I feel open and serene. This Nature-friendly environment is so kind and welcoming. Thank you, the great team of doctors here. I would like to come back again.

This is my first time in Vaidyagrama and I have been so pleasantly surprised and astounded! First of all, the environment surrounded by beautiful trees and the beautiful verandah facing the trees. So beautiful is the sound of the leaves and the sounds of the birds! Never seen a place like this, which is open on all sides (corridors), full of trees. No sound pollution. Such a joy, and soothing to the soul!
All the staff and therapists are so gentle, kind and caring. Always pleasant. They take such special care of us, in the treatment room or otherwise... They are always alert. They always put food in my thali, explain what was what, and place my hand, giving me big spoon, on the thali. They pointed out where my medicine was all well. The doctors too were also so considerate and took real good care of me. All in all, it has kindness personified! A real wonderful energy and a perfect healing space! I am so blessed to have come here, and it all started with the wonderful Aparna, who promptly replied and accommodated me well despite my health crisis causing uncertainly of making the trip. Thank you Vaidyagrama. May God bless every person here!

Second time at Vaidyagrama. Like the place for a lot of reasons. Most important is the people. Their humanity, patients, smiling face and genuine attitude is commendable. This was Onam festival time. Lot of people on leave, extra pressure on every one, specially the little girls, but smile doesn’t vanish. Happy to come back!

I started my first panchakarma forty years ago and have completed four of them so far. In all these years of panchakarma in Kerala, this is by far the finest of all treatment centres. This Panchakarma is accomplished with a surgical precision not to be matched anywhere. This is such a holistic environment treating body, mind and soul. The staff from the very top to bottom are so wealthy of respect and love as they are living expressions of these qualities. A special thanks to Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Anupama (so full of joy), Aparna (A pure light) sakthi and the entire staff. I have been here for two months and look forward to returning. Also, the fellow patients are truly fascinating creating a real family.
Thank you Vaidyagrama!

Coming to Vaidyagrama has been a blessing, a big gift from the divine. I had no clue about this place and it fell into my lap. I will always be grateful for this. I am going home with a new hope about life, a healthy life actually!
All the doctors are so wonderful here. They all felt like family to me. Even the therapists and other members of staff served so lovingly. I have found another home at Vaidyagrama.
Love and regards to all!

Today's my last day at Vaidyagrama, last day of this year because I will come back for sure.
Thank you for welcoming me so warmly and making everything most comfortable for me.
Big thank you to Dr Harikrishnan who understands like nobody else, how bodies work and always make me better after treatment.
This is my second time at Vaidyagrama and each time I learn something new about Ayurveda, about me! Thank you to my dear therapists, especially Lakshmi who makes me feel just like I was her baby and it was so relaxing.
Thank you to all the staff who has been working so well, to make my stay best possible. Thanks to all the doctors who took care of me this year and last year.

How lucky I am to be here for a second time. So be able to heal my mind, body and spirit in this tranquil oasis is a gift.
I thank each of my doctors for their infinite patience and unparalleled care given to me. Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Kesari, Dr. Athulya always with a cheery “Hi”. The wonderful therapists who pound our bodies, so our souls can come back rest restored!
Devi, the girls at reception and in the office, the man who pushes the ‘neem fire’ cart, all with their smiles and warmth to remind us we are at VG - another remainder of the warmth of this place.
“When my conscience leads me, I land up where I ought to be. When my ego leads me, I land up where I want to be. Being able to be where I ought to be is often superior than being able to be where I want to be.
Thank you Dr. Ram kumar for including us in your dream!

Dear Vaidyagrama…
You really are that - A healing village! This was my second visit and I was so happy to bring my husband, to share this beautiful experience. From the moment we arrived, with Dr. Kesari waiting for us, until the days we were preparing to leave- nothing but love, warmth and good humor from the entire staff.
We deeply thank our doctors including Dr. Ramanandan, Dr.Athulya and Dr. Kesari for their care and my therapists Lakshmi, Kalpana, Vaishnavi, Athira for their care and dedication. And all the women who participated in my treatments. By the way- I love hearing the music they play!
Thank you also for allowing me to have a satsang and speak about my book. You all are part of my future plan! Geetha is amazing, as is Aparna, Krishna and Athira- All playing above in making our stay smooth, healing and fulfilling. I send much love to you all & Dr. Ramkumar.

I felt I had a home here and the room I was given was my own home. The doctors, therapists and staff here taken such good care of me.
I love the treatment received by Dr Harikrishnan, Dr Sivajyothi, and therapists Devaki, Deekshitha, Shalini and Lakshmi Chechi were good too.
Dr Harikrishnan and Ms Aparna were very understanding regarding the financial part too. However, if not for them, it is a little difficult to discuss it openly with the staff. More in my email.
Lots of love,

Dear Vaidyagrama family! That is really what you are: One big family that reaches beyond the VG property! It is like JM Sampath states: when life’s purpose is larger than self, life becomes a means to achieve the purpose! This is what I have experienced during my stay with everybody: not only the doctors, but also the medical staff, receptionists, housecleaning, gardeners etc.
You have a beautiful vision and you live it, really! A good example for other organizations, companies, the world. I have enjoyed the treatment- It has brought a better balance between body and mind and soul. I enjoyed the satsangs- a good means to get to know more about Ayurvedapractice of being in here and now.
I enjoyed the company with the VG staff and the fellow patients. I thank you all for the big heart you have for all living beings. And beyond those who are here.
My daughter Florina who is in another Ayurvedic place, also feels love you have for others. Thank you, thank you, for welcoming us in your family.Till we meet again.

A beautiful and wonderful healing experience for me and my family members who accompanied me. Although some of my family members only insisted on coming to assist me as I am a stroke patient, all of them went through the treatment after seeing the treatments being done. We are very satisfied with our stay at vaidyagrama. I only came after two and half years of my stroke.
There is slight improvement to my health now after the treatment. The swelling of my legs have gone and I can walk a bit better. My skin problem, psoriasis has improved tremendously.
The various activities (Satsangs) and prayers kept us occupied. The lush plants and trees with the early morning tweeting of birds gives a beautiful peaceful environment to patients/ bystanders. Thanks to all the doctors, special mention to Dr.Ramanandan who is always so caring and listening patiently to my stories and sharing's, not to forget Dr. Anupama and Dr.Kesari and Dr. Athulya and all the staff and therapists, especially Jayasree, Zainudheen. Only suggestion is it would be better if hot water is provided in the rooms for patients. Also, although we are animal lovers, the cats were a bit disturbing. Over all a truly amazing and satisfying experience for all of us at vaidyagrama. Thank you all.

Every year when I have to leave VG (this being my fourth visit.) I say a prayer: Bring me back next year- let my calendar be free yet again for the gift of yet another year of Vaidyagrama. My two beautiful therapists Shyni and Prajeesha would tend with such love in their eyes that the nourishing post therapy was enhanced even more!
Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Athulya and this time, the added attention of Dr. Kesari who was as always the healing touch!
Dr.Ramadas for his friendship and our comradeship at cheating at cards- He fills up the place with his mere presence!
The prayers, the talks the ever enlightening Dr. Ramkumar who never fails to broaden one knowledge. Devi who kept my room so wonderfully clean, the gardeners, receptionists, the lovely Aparna and the fantastic Geetha. May the child in you continue to enamour us with your stories!
Always blessed!

This is my fifth experience at Vaidyagrama, so forgive me for the same comments.
Nothing changes, everything remains wonderful. The staff (all of them) with their wide smiles, gentle and kind ways, and their simplicity is most definitely part of the treatment and the care. The doctors are so very knowledgeable and have a wonderful way of the practicing their knowledge to all.
I am impressed with the doctors here, who are so kind and caring and have a charming sense of humour. The environment is beautiful, so lovely to see all the trees grown. All planted by those who come to stay in Vaidyagrama and partake in this ancient system of medicine. Enjoy the stunning outdoors…

I am so happy that I finally made my maiden trip to VG. My dearest cousin Shireen has been telling me about it for a few years now! I can see why it means so much to her and to others that I have come to know in the past few days.
I do realise that seven days is hardly enough experience all that it has to offer and inspired to factor a complete 21 days retreat in my calendar next year. Dr. Ramanadan, Dr. Kesari have been caring and attentive, as also the staff and therapists. Dr. Ramdas’ presence is also wonderful. Aparna’s warm and cheerful manner is heartwarming and makes one want to visit.
My deepest gratitude to Dr. Ramkumar for creating this wonderful place with the remarkable Vision and dedication.
I look forward to be being here again.
All the best!

Hello,
This was my first experience with Ayurveda and with vaidyagrama. Thank you to Dr Harikrishnan and his wonderful team of doctors and therapists.
Dr Sivajyothi, Dr Mini, Dr Harikesh were all wonderful and took care to see me well. Vidya, Athira were also good and did a great job with my treatments.
I didn't come to vaidyagrama with a lot of expectations and everyday was a pleasant surprise.
My favourite place was Brahmakamalam, and I really enjoyed the prayer time and the various prayers that I could sing and chant, post the group sessions.
Really thanks for all the wonderful staff most of whom we don't see. But they manage to keep things running smoothly.
My sessions with Dr Harikrishnan were wonderful, and his way of dealing with my questions and patiently answering them is something I will always cherish. I planted a papaya sapling. My thanks to the housekeeping staff as well. My best wishes and thanks.

Health is wealth, yet it is often undervalued by many of us, until an injury forces us to stop and re-evaluate. A positive life force is following through Vaidyagrama. This is evident from the care received from all of you come in contact with, as well as the care taken with the surroundings, people, environment. What is here is what we all need - kindness, compassion and a way of life that encompasses the seasons, growing older and moving from external dissipation to internal quiet. How fortunate to have happened upon this place.

Vaidyagrama is my home away from home, an extended family that takes care to nurture and treat me to better health.
I am left in awe, and amazed at the smooth functioning of each and every department at Vaidyagrama. My pranams to Dr.Ramkumar for setting up Vaidyagrama and being my teacher who seamlessly guides me towards a more holistic living practices.
The Doctors are very knowledgeable, caring and patient with me. They tolerate my childish nonsensical behaviour my tantrums (mostly revolving around food!!)
The therapists know their job, routine and disciplined practice.
The support staff, kitchen staff, office staff, technical staff, each and everyone at Vaidyagrama is soft spoken, polite, helpful and self-motivated, the harmony is palpable.
The peace, quiet, serenity, prayers, chanting, satsangs, classes, walks, therapies and free time teaches one that the answer to all that is churning within is “how to live a simple, healthy, happy, holistic life without stress, anxiety and constant noise and struggle”…. Back home, I continue to try to imbibe the Vaidyagrama teachings and experiences among the chaos.
Thank you and pranams to my doctors – Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini, Dr. Sivajyothi and Dr.Harikesh, they worked to help me through my Snehapanam and treatments daily. And a few issues of discomfort.
I would like to suggest better tree planting in front of rooms 305, 306, 307, 308 blocks plus a wall fan in bathrooms and better hygiene in the kitchen. Some more thought into the food options and possibilities. Dr. Mini was very concerned and caring throughout my stay.
Suggestions:
Some good films on health and holistic talks could be shown
A fan in the bathroom
Better hygiene in kitchen
Twice/thrice a week some interesting educational films
A few current magazines
A better , more realistic food and nutrition options
Some patients from different fields- knowledgeable and well experienced – could give a talk and share – like Ted Talks.
Intro talk + films important to show on Vaidyagrama and its work and activities would help
A well-facilitated proactive follow up program with patients
Marketing and donor relationship manager could be more proactive

Indeed, it has been a wonderful experience and more so, because of the caring and nurturing staff, from the top to the bottom range of the ladder in Vaidyagrama. There is commitment in the heart of the staff, that's the most obvious. I enjoyed myself immensely and look forward to the next time.

There are no words to thank everybody here, all are fully committed to healing and service. This is evident by the level of the professional approach of all doctors, the dedication of therapists and friendliness and attentiveness of the housekeeping staff.
You all are a marvellous team who made Vaidyagrama such an amazing and special place!
Can’t wait to come back next year!

To my very dear friends in Vaidyagrama,
I conclude my first visit here. It was a good stay in which I was exposed for the first time to some elements of Panchakarma and to the wonderful staff and place.
Let me express my sincere impression of the Holistic, dedicated and professional approach I have witnessed. Indeed, Ayurveda is an old amazing wisdom but due to its complexity and our times I would find it extremely difficult to find such a treatment program as you lead.
As a physician, Alternative Medicine doesn’t usually pay attention to the many details that show the meticulous vision with which this place was planned and the professional approach in which you treat patients.
I have experienced here some intense process and some extreme dedication to the wellness of patient.
I wish some of this Holistic approach, and dedication could be also be commonly found in the allopathic medicine. I wish you all happiness health and wellness. May you grow but not too much...!!!
I expect to return and am very curious to follow on my treatments in my life.
Much love, Namaste

Making the decision to come back to Vaidyagrama was an easy one considering the amazing experience I had last time. However, the experience itself was not easy. But the doctors here are with your every step of the way and make you feel like you are truly capable of doing this. This is why even though I wanted to leave on my third day, I stuck on and I am also happy that I did.
Vaidyagrama has once again left me not just healthier but also stronger and kinder (to myself and to the world). It’s amazing how this place and people here fill me with so much compassion. As for the biggest lesson learnt (again the pot in my courtyard did the trick) to live in the present and to go easier on myself.
To Dr Ramadas, Dr Sajna and everyone else here. Thank you so much for everything!
Thank you for accepting my craziness and for hearing me ramble on about silly things. Thank you for making me feel that, all that I am is enough and that I don’t need to be anything different, more or less.
This is not a goodbye because I know I will be back again!
With a full heart and so much love,

It isn't often we encounter institutions or organisations that have managed to stay true to a vision. Even in Ayurveda we see the teachings modified or ignored for comfort, acceptability, and often profit.
It was an honour and joy to be in an atmosphere here at Vaidyagrama where from the Cleaning staff, to Admin, to Vaidya’s, it felt cohesive, integrated and healing. The care taken by everyone. The efforts towards energetics, Puja and prayer indeed does lift this place up and set it apart.
To those who patiently cared for me Dr Harikrishnan, Dr Mini, Dr Harikesh, Archana, Devaki - Pranams. To those who lit the space with your lights while it was also here: Dr Robert Mrs Lalitha group of Annapoorneshwari temple for a beautiful day of the Narayaniyam - the best Pranams. To the Vaidya Who continues to inspire and teach - Pranams.
Deep gratitude for the healing work you do in the world.

I had actually come to Vaidyagrama for being with my aunt for a few days who is undergoing treatment here. I could gather a lot about this wonderful place that many people come here with different ailments and go back after complete recovery. That talks a lot about the efficiency and the total dedication of the qualified doctors and the others assisting them. These facts inspired me to take a treatment for a short period for the little aches and pains that I had all over my joints. I should say that was really a good blessing for me and that short term treatment gave me a lot of relief. I wish I stayed for a longer period.
My special thanks to Dr Ramanandan to whom I was able to talk to freely. He had lot of patience to hear our story and that too with a smiling face. Also my thanks to Dr Anupama who visits us daily and soothes us with her kind words. Also I wish to thank Abhila for the treatment she did for me.
I am grateful and thankful to my sister Smt Geetha Mohandas who is behind all the inspiration and her advice really did a good job for me
Thank you all once again,

It is my third time taking a treatment at Vaidyagrama and always its being great. I always feel well taking care of, rested and pampered when I leave. Big thank you to all my therapists and my doctors Ramanandan and Anupama who made sure I am leaving Vaidyagrama stronger and healthier than before.
Thanks to all the Vaidyagrama staff members for making this a very pleasant experience. I will be back for more.

Overall I had a great rejuvenating experience at Vaidyagrama. Though a short stay of 10 days, I am grateful to Dr Ramanandan and Dr Anupama for creating a compact Snehapanam regimen, to help me reclaim my health and get rid of my body toxins. The personalized Abhyangam, Snehapanam and Dinacharya routine help me immensely. I loved the session with the doctor as it was informative, therapeutic and counselling in nature. The next aspect was food. I could see how my body felt lighter with just a few days of the Ayurvedic diet. I am hoping to practice and inculcate this diet into my everyday routine. Third, the therapists were very professional and helpful with personalized tricks.
I enjoy all the sessions. The low lights, the frequent power outages and cockroaches in the room and given we seek calm and comfort during the stay, these are important factors to rectify at once.
Thanks for giving me a peaceful and meditative ten days. Will definitely recommend the place to my friends and look forward to visiting soon again.
Thanks

Dear Ayurveda,
Thank you for gathering these great souls in your name - to create a sacred structure through which your breath could flow.
Thank you for breathing strength & potency into every plant and tree, and giving us a lens through which to understand their properties.
Thank you for illuminating the simplicity and the mystery and the wise and unwise ways of weaving through life's tapestry.
Thank you for providing the means to achieve internal state of balance and bliss among ever changing external circumstances.
Thanks for reminding us to support individual as well as the whole.
In deep gratitude we leave here as emissaries of your light and knowledge.

I have tried Panchakarma treatment before at several Western places. Only when I arrived at Vaidyagrama, I realised that I had been treated incorrectly. The key is a doctor, who has a deep understanding of Ayurveda and ability to diagnose and hear people. I am so happy to meet and be treated by Dr Ramanandan. I feel like finally I found my personal doctor and such a big relief so I do not need to go from one hospital to another and spend money/ time with no results.
Dr Ramanandan is very patient and intelligent, willing to explain problems and how he is approaching healing. This was very important to me.
Satsang’s with other doctors helped me to extend my Ayurveda understanding. Those Satsang’s are blessing because a chance to meet other leading doctors. All of them are very gifted Vaidyas with interesting personalities. This place is amazing not only because of the amazing doctors; it has everything healing natural environment, comfortable and clean rooms, prayers, counselling, very personal approach and amazing therapists. Thank you Shiny, Prajeesha, Mridula for your care. This place offers amazing food also and any individual needs are met (I mean still following healing diet). I had huge food intolerance before I came and this was resolved. Because several doctors are responsible for each block, doctors are available 24/ 7 days of week for any problem. Overall, it is a perfectly managed authentic Ayurveda hospital with the atmosphere of home. And I hope I will be back to this,my second home.
Thanks

I returned to Vaidyagrama for treatment after 3 years. It felt like, returning home to all the wonderful doctors, to all the therapists, to all the staff in fact it felt like nothing had changed.
As I get ready to pack my bags and leave I feel like a new person and know that I will be back again and again. For once you have experienced Vaidyagrama you cannot go elsewhere.
Special thanks to my Dr Ramadas for his care, his attention, his depth of knowledge and for his magnificent voice. I will miss our prayer times .I thank you Dr HariKumar who is always patient and kind, gentle and caring. I met new doctors too. Dr Sajna thank you for always making me feel good.
May Vaidyagrama continue to go from strength to strength and may you all continue this wonderful Vedic tradition of spirituality, respect for nature respect for life and respect for all living beings.
Thank you from me to all the wonderful people who make up the Vaidyagrama family.
Om Namah Shivaya!!!

Today is our last full day at Vaidyagrama and it’s with a heavy heart that we are writing this note. While we are sad to leave the most nourishing (to mind and body) holiday we have ever had, we are certain that we will be back for more. We call it a holiday but it was so much more. The building, the grounds, the plants, the wildlife, the weather, the staff including the doctors, therapists, and the housekeeping staff, have all are contributed to a pleasant wholesome faultless time for both of us as a couple. Dr Harikrishnan has been such a ray of sunshine with his patience, his knowledge and experience, his kindness compassion and the ability to ease our troubled minds when we over complicate things. Dr Harikesh and Dr Mini were the reflection of the same. Therapists like Vidya, Athira, Devaki, Lakshmi, and Gireesh were wonderful. Saritha kept our room spotless with a bright shiny smile. And all the people that would walk past our patio as we whiled away the days warmed us up from the inside with their smiles and sweet gestures. Dr Ramadas, Dr Harikumar, Dr Ramkumar and Dr Ramanandan all provided much knowledge at the satsang to feed our minds. The medicines and treatments have worked wonder for both of us and we have no words to describe the gratitude we have for this place and the people. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you do, and do so well. We will have no hesitation in recommending Vaidyagrama to the people back in Sydney who are eager for the nourishment this place provides. We were also very grateful to be part of the many rituals and poojas we experienced while being here, in particular the "Sarpa Bali". We love you, we will be back for more.

This is a first for both me and my wife to stay in a place like this.
We came with an open minded and strongly believe in Ayurveda.
Vaidyagrama provided a very serene atmosphere plus great staff (from doctors, therapists and the rest). All of them did a wonderful job and made us feel very comfortable.
A special thanks to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Anupama and Dr Ramadas for the regular visits and catering to our needs.
Enjoyed the Sarpa Pooja and Satsangs too.
Thank you and God bless

VAIDYAGRAMA is the perfect place to Slow Down, become more silent and tune in to the rhythm of one's own nature and the nature around you.
The healing offering here is very authentic traditional Ayurveda, but my expectation was to have a more personalized experience. I imagined that the powerful physical treatment would be accompanied by mental and spiritual guidance also and that other aspects such as Yoga, Astrology and a complete discussion of my dosha would also be included. My perception of Ayurveda was that one would build a strong relationship with your doctor and receive treatment and guidance from your doctor on every level of being physical, mental and spiritual.
Despite my high expectation of a more holistic approach, I found my Panchakarma to be very beneficial and professionally executed. Personally I was just looking for a much deeper experience but this is more about my own journey and not a judgement of Vaidyagrama.
I am very happy I came here and I am delighted with the physical results. My skin is clear, my energy levels are high, my emotions feel calm and most importantly I am off coffee.
Thank you to all the doctors and staff at VAIDYAGRAMA. I sincerely appreciate that you adjusted my therapy to suit my needs and deal with me professionally.
Much love and light,

Very happy to be here for the second time. It's a silent
retreat zone for me. A place of rejuvenation and self-development. Glad to see Balagrama and also Lakshmigrama for cows. It's expanding into a city.
I pray for Dr Ramkumar and all team members, for all happiness, peace and prosperity.
Hope very soon “Ayurveda University “would come up along with the facilities for Poor patients in the upcoming future.

My last few hours of 2 months stay here at Vaidyagrama. This time I came with a specific need of the study of clinical assessment with Dr Ramadas.
He has been so kind, so generous with his time and knowledge. I feel at home following the schedule he had for me 6:30 am. to 7:30 am prayer.7:30am to 09.30 am to visit patients. 9:30 am to 12:30 pm treatments, 2:30 pm to 4 pm, question and answers with Dr Ramadas or Dr Harikumar. 5:30pm to 6:15 pm community Satsang.6:15 pm to 7:15pm evening prayer.
This way of learning helps me to go deeper into Ayurveda the way of life.
Life is not only in the head and knowledge, not only in books but is a moment by moment of being in tune with nature.
I am grateful to you Dr Ramadas, Dr Harikumar, Dr Sajna,
Dr Harikesh and each of the doctors, staff and this community for this 2 months of love and light.
I will go now to show what I learnt and will be back again next year for more learning.

A very good and soothing place to have lived. I am happy to be here. But I have some complaints in hand also. They should concentrate a little more on the food. The food you give can be given a little flavour. Every person here is very nice.

As communicated to Dr Ramanandan this was our first experience into a deep cleansing program. Overall it was a very good experience. All the doctors were extremely attentive, cooperative, paying good attention to our health issues.
I think the space planning, the greenery, daily prayers, the satsangs were all great parts of the program.
However we have a few humble suggestions-
1. Using the same ingredients but improving the quality of food. We were served too large portions which was given to the cows later. As part of our learning we felt guilty throwing food from our end as we have been trained not to waste even a morsel of food.
2. It would be better to have a joint food location for all the meals.
3. Some simple yoga practices could be added to give added learning to fill in our time.
4. More Ayurveda books could be provided in the library
Overall we were happy and thank all to the Vaidyagrama team.

This is my first time at Vaidyagrama. I chose Vaidyagrama mainly because of the clarity of Information and the focus on healing without compromising the core principles of Ayurveda for the sake of modern needs - Wi-Fi internet etc.
I am glad I choose Vaidyagrama. The entire stay was so peaceful and transformative. I stayed with my parents who also experienced an incredibly peaceful stay. Thanks especially to therapists (Kalpana, Geethu, Vaishnavi, Nimmi, Chiru, Vinod and Biju), housekeeping staff (Bhagyam and Jaya) and those in reception and the administrative office (Aruna, Jincy, Athira, Manju and Ganesh). Everyone at Vaidyagrama truly follows the community spirit and take care of the patient like their own family.
Overall we had a great experience. I hope to continue my association with Vaidyagrama in future.

Overall experience was good which is away from your corporate life, meetings, noise, traffic and pollution etc.
Of course there is room for improvement always.
Rooms - the doors are not made in a proper way because you struggle to lock. Every time it hits up leaving it as if unlocked.
Food - I have learnt something of diet and I believe with the same ingredients one can cook better food, The food quality is not very great and you can bring more varieties within the diet. The food and same dishes and tastes could have had more varieties. This should be controlled because it is obviously depressing.
Therapists - I give 5 star by rating to Sainudeen but apart from him most of them are not being fully informed. This can be done in another way as this is creating a lot of gap between doctors and therapists. Otherwise all the other staff like head office, back office, house-keeping are all beloveds.

I was very ecstatic to come back to Vaidyagrama after 6 years. I recalled how good the doctors were and how pampered we get here. It is a home away from home. I have been very happy with Dr Mini Dr Harikrishnan and Dr Harikesh. Their attention to details and care taken is impeccable. They are all too good.
I have enjoyed the Satangs in the afternoon which were not there before. Because of my thirst for learning more all the time. Life is a process of learning and I am happy to have all my questions answered. All in all the hygiene of the kitchen and food needs to be improved tremendously and care taken to prepare meals under strict supervision especially because me and my daughter have stomach issues. Food quality and hygiene have to change.
I liked everything else, the help given to village around, and the friendliness of all the doctors was also very good. Would also prefer to have my laundry done separately; because of skin issues.
THANKS TO ALL DOCTORS AND THERAPISTS especially DEVAKI and to DR HARIKRISHNAN, DR MINI, DR HARIKESH, AND ALSO SIVAPRAKASH FOR TEACHING ME YOGA BREATHING.
Dr Ramdas for his prayer sessions was EXCELLENT Too. Dr Ram Kumar for his SATSANGS Too.
THANKS A MILLION FOR ALL!!!
Love Jyoti.
The main point that I want to stress on are the following:
1. FOOD HYGIENE PLEASE
2. FAN IN TOILETS
3. THERAPISTS HAVE TO BE TRAINED TO BE BETTER
4. AN EMERGENCY CARE NEAR TO HERE
5. FIRST AID KIT AND REFRIGERATOR WITH COLD PACKS FOR EMERGENCY

Thanks also to Bindu and their team, they cared for me as if I was a defenceless child. It was a beautiful experience. This wonderful treatment was supported by the prayers and Pranayama which held the whole experience tightly in love and happiness.
My body has been cleansed and rebooted back to its happy contented and natural state.
My mind of swinging negative thoughts has gently fallen and calm. The relief is enormous and the experience light and joyous.

I have the privilege to spend almost 4 weeks here. It has been an incredible experience of healing as well as learning. Healing - because I have found more solutions than what I was looking for. I have been very impressed by the outstanding doctors team who are looking for the best for each of us even if it is challenging for them. I have found understanding, passion, compassion, never give up type of attitude and determination. Learning: because going to the satsangs has been a truly extraordinary experience of getting much more knowledge about Ayurveda principles and values it has helped tremendously to be more connected to myself and then to improve and enhance the healing process. The patience of the place, being at home feeling have brought much more serenity and peace in my heart. I have been very touched by the community engagement which has been thoroughly taught and assigned for the good sake of the people. The social initiatives are very impressive and more financing with donations will have to help this project. It is why I believe that the concept of 'Ambassador Patient' has to be initiated where each patients who is willing to will become an ambassador of one of the initiatives and then pomote that initiative in their companies and friends to take for donation
Thanks again for everything

We arrived Vaidyagrama on 5th October 2018 and got treated here for 26 days with the guidance of Dr. Ramanandan and his colleagues. We had the opportunity to know about Ayurveda in detail to some extend through “SATSANGS” conducted daily.
So happy to know how the cleansing process is being conducted to the whole body. It is a marvellous service rendered by the doctors to the least cadre staff in taking care of patients with smiling faces.
Though not I get immediate relief for both of us, we trust, we will be well in due course. We had the opportunity to change our lifestyle we wish Vaidyagrama will prosper well in the service of mankind.

I am so grateful to have been at this place of healing that you have created with such wisdom, love and dedication.
I learned much from your knowledgeable doctors. Especially in the Satsang, and I felt sincerely cured for by them and the nurturing therapists. Every staff person I encountered here was exceptionally warm, caring and hardworking, yet they made it seems effortless.
I also enjoyed the community of patients that your healing village draws here.
What will forever stand out for me is the power of healing when it is provided, not in isolation but in a community and fueled by prayer in the morning and evening, prayer before treatment. No matter what you believe spiritually or even if you don’t believe perhaps here, others believe for you.
Peace and Thank you

Vaidyagrama provided a quiet place to relax the human organism. It allows the inflammation to diminish from the burden of excessive living, over eating, not sleeping enough, bad food and diet, all the pressures that come with urban living. They require you to slow all the physiological processes to slow down. Removes the distraction of electronics, entertainment and the desire to busy one’s mind and body,
I spent my time reading about the science of Ayurveda, meditating, praying, reflecting a lot and just raising my awareness of my bodily functions that speak to you quite clearly if you only listen. Amazing time here for healing. I now need to apply this science the best I can in the chaos of urban living, so that I may enjoy the animation that is the human body with spirit with care, consciousness and love ingredients to a beautiful life. Vaidyagrama lifts the veil that clouds human potential
I love it here.

It is difficult to mention all of the reasons I thoroughly enjoyed any 4 weeks stay at Vaidyagrama. There are so many reasons why. Let me start by giving my attendance doctor, Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Harikesh, Dr. Sivajothi and Dr. Siva. I truly felt your nurturing and caring support and assistance as I went through the rejuvenation process. This was ably supported by the therapists, especially Athira, Vidhya and Gireesh. And the rest of the staff who served me snacks, cleaned my room and did special favour for me. Of course, I sincerely want to thank all of the staff I did not meet who made all of the possible behind the scenes, the cooks, dishwashing, laundry staff, maintenance people, gardener etc. Everything worked like clockwork. I look forward to visiting again in the near future! In the meantime I think I will have dreams of Dr.Harikesh chasing after me with a big syringe filled with red oil.

As always coming to Vaidyagrama is a wonderful experience and healing for both body and soul. Our Thanks to all the staff and doctors for their care and love at all times. Although our overall experience was a good one it used to be nice if a few areas and be considered for improvement to make it even more wonderful place.
Food- there is far too much wastage and at every meal my heart crying at the amount of food wasted in a country where so many are starving!
And this is not appropriate for cows who should be eating grass!
Besides the qualities I think this should be taken in to consideration
The treatment was as always very good the only suggestion being that there should be at least one senior therapist at each session. Not that the overall we had were not good. They were, but lack of consistency in protocol. Hope this small observations will help Vaidyagrama to grow higher places.
With good wishes

However it may be worth bearing in mind that there are likely to have been many working, equally hard behind the scenes so it is courteous acknowledge everyone collectively in addition to Dr Harikrishnan and his competent team.
I hope to inculcate these practices and get some meaningful changes in my life.

This is my third visit here and though there were many options, I choose Vaidyagrama because of the ashram like settings, kind and caring staff and cleanliness Dr Harikrishnan attended to me both the time I was here. I am happy with Dr Harikumar too. A soft spoken person but like Harikrishnan was very through in his examinations and treatment. Dr Renjisha was extremely good also. When she came to know that I was in pain all night she said I should have called for help.
The therapists Nimmy, Nithya and Athira were very good in giving treatments. Deepa and Rajamani did their share to help the room clean and to pick up and delivery laundry. Front desk staff were very helpful too. We thoroughly engaged in the poojas, morning and evening chants and we are leaving with a wonderful heart and peaceful heart.
The atmosphere is very healing and I can see how it has influenced my very restless husband in just few days
Thanks to all of you for taking such good care to us.

Vaidyagrama is truly a divine vision. Thank you Dr Ramkumar for making it a reality. I sincerely pray that the vision stays alive and fresh though the years ahead.
The first week of my stay was truly wonderful. Thereafter I have noticed many areas for improvement which I trust are temporary and I will be rectified soon.
The doctors, therapists and all the staff have been caring and supportive. I wish Dr Ramadas was here till I left. Missed his wisdom and good cheers.
Not up to writing all the good things. I wish to thank the Yoganidra session by Dr. Siva, the wonderful prayer sessions, homes and other r special prayers, the satsang…….
Leaving with a lot of gratitude .special thanks to Dr Harikumar, Dr. Renjisha, Geethu and Vaishnavi and Dr. Sajna. Holding Vaishnavi in my heart and prayers. Hope to see her on my next visit.

In past 7 years it has become my annual retreat at Vaidyagrama.
What started with a medical condition requiring surgery the team at Vaidyagrama nourished and rejuvenated the body and the mind.
A condition that had only surgery as an option reversed to no evidence of the original condition as per the scan, due to the care of wise team here.
This experience leads me to understand the blessing of health.
Now my understanding of health has enlarged. In Vaidyagrama you find a space of simplicity your authentic Ayurveda is practised with compassion and love. I recall Punarnava means rejuvenated, so it is here at Vaidyagrama if one is blessed to receive the gift of Good health.
My gratitude and love to all the team especially the many we don't see but server behind the scenes. Thanks very much

This was my far the most transformative PK experience I have ever had. The main thing I learned is the importance of rest after treatments. I feel like I can apply this idea to many aspects of my life including healthy, work and family. It is with the most grateful and appreciative of hearts that I leave Vaidyagrama!!!

Greetings!
This is my first time at Vaidyagrama and I feel very blessed to have found this beautiful place! There is not enough words to describe my experience at Vaidyagrama! I felt like I was in heaven. Everyone, every single person at Vaidyagrama was kind, patient, and welcoming. I truly enjoyed the stay. The doctors were very attentive and supported me every step of my healing journey. During 30 days of my stay and I have learned so wisdom from everyone especially my doctors. I felt like I was very well taken care of and protected and nurtured.
My deepest and most humble gratitude to Dr Ramadas and Dr Harikumar to my therapists Nithya, Indu, Nimmy, all staff, every single person who makes it happen every day.
Deepest gratitude to Aparna and Geetha for their care! Deepest gratitude to Punarnava initiative and trust for the goodness they bring to world.
And finally I want to express my deep gratitude to Dr Renjisha, who is also my doctor, who was there with me at all the time! She gave me so much love and care during the stay as if, I was her child. I was deeply touched and humbled by her dedication to her patients. I will miss Vaidyagrama, however I will especially Miss Dr Renjisha.!
Dr Renjisha, thank you for taking care of me so well! Love... You are the best!
The environment of Vaidyagrama is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, inspiring, and humbling! This is where I get in touch with my true self.

Dear Vaidyagrama family
My sincere salutations with gratitude respect and love to the supreme god and who has made as this instrument the great visionaries of Vaidyagrama Dr Ramkumar and his expert team of doctors for providing such a calm, beautiful, peaceful, happy, ethnic healing abode to the humanity.
I have come here for a three weeks stay and when I return home I feel like a new person. The morning and evening prayers and chanting cleanses our body, mind, and soul which accelerates the healing process. The homam and pooja specially conducted brought in more divine energy to this healing place. I am inspired by the exact time schedule followed by the doctors for prayers. Thank you….
I express my sincere gratitude to Dr Ramadas for his care, attention and knowledge shown in healing me. His positive advices and spiritual thoughts has imparted me a new insight to my health problem.
I also express my gratitude to Dr Harikumar who is always soft, gentle and caring in his talk for giving me inner strength and awareness for reducing friction in my body. Both doctors healed me not only by the medication but also by the transfer of their positive energy.
I miss Dr Ramadas reverberating voice and Dr Harikumar melodious voice in our prayer sessions.
I am grateful to Dr. Sajna for her ever smiling face and her loving care for some treatment sessions she added positively to my healing.
I am also grateful to Dr Renjisha for her spiritual, attentive caring nature she showed during some difficulties I faced in the night while in the course of treatment. She showed absolute care from her heart and was with me till I got absolutely fine. She gave great care and attention during the treatment sessions she inspired me to sing in the group dinner.
I also wish heartedly thank the therapists Geethu, Vaishnavi, Kalpana, manju and Indu for giving me finest treatment sessions. The therapists showed immense professionalism and care on all the sessions. They impacted happy, loving, caring, atmosphere for the treatments more or less they kept fixed time schedule. They served medicine and food in time without fail.
My sincere thanks to cleaning lady Bhagyam who always kept the room neat and tidy. She showed utmost care in changing the bed sheets and pillow covers in time even without my request with a smiling face.
I also thank the laundry people who kept correct time schedule for working and returning the clothes in time.
Thanking very much for the cooking staff for providing delicious satvik food.
I also thank Mr Siva Kumar who conducted the Yoganidra sessions. It was a wonderful experience.
I also thank Dr. Ramanandan for inspiring me to sing in the group dinner.
I thank all the doctors of Vaidyagrama for transferring their wisdom and knowledge during the satsang sessions.
My sincere thanks to Aparnaji and Geethaji. My deepest gratitude to Punarnava Trust and its community initiatives.
The stay in Vaidyagrama is a wonderful experience and its imprint in my heart is great. After the treatment my five year old type 2 diabetes is made under control. Also my two year old skin allergy has cured almost 90% .The stay in Vaidyagrama made me a changed personally.
May Vaidyagrama continue to grow in its strength by the grace of God. May Vaidyagrama extend its facilities to less affordable people also in the near future?
Thank you from me all the wonderful people of Vaidyagrama family
With love

Thank you is a small word for the treatment I have got here. Can’t thank enough. It was a complete holistic and spiritual journey for 21 days.
Physically and mentally completely rejuvenated. Learned a lot on the spiritual and philosophical side.
All the Pujas were divine. Satsang were very informative. The most looked forward satsang was Dr. Ramkumar.
Dr. Ramanandan was very kind and friendly to explain the reason and cure of my heart issue.
Dr. Aishwarya and Dr. Anupama were very helpful
All the three therapists in my block were excellent.
Housekeeping was good too!
Food was divine.
Looking forward to come back in July in my family

Dear Vaidyagrama and all people here,
Thank you just so incredibly for making my and every one’s stays here so deeply positive and healing. I am leaving here with a happy heart and spirit and with memories of you all.
The whole process was so just perfect for me. The panchakarmas, the wonderful therapist and doctors, the satsang with everyone and one of the highlight was all the homas and poojas especially the graha homa puja. It seems for sure your initial vision is coming through in all that you do and are. It seems that because of all this the spirit of Ayurveda vidya has found its home here and equally provides this home for each of us staying here with you. Even when we travel long and back to our own places of home - you are right our true homes is able to manifest with us no matter where we are.
With love

It has not been easy on a daily basis because I felt pain in my back and at the beginning I was not feeling well at all.
However, I’ve understood that it was the healing process.
Now I feel light and free and I really hope it will lost in the future.

First visit here.
Please excuse if I am mentioning any drawbacks as I strongly believe this can help other patients.
Positives-
* The ambiance set here -say, the way the food is cooked, the medicinal plants in and around the center and the spiritual activities that happen, the very well the building pathway lighting is planned, shows much noble and dedicated effort has been put in, just to ensure every patient is healed. The staff and every person I met here are more human in their approach towards each other and patients. This cannot be expected or imagined in any other Ayurvedic hospitals .Trust me! I have been to Ahalia and other numerous Ayurvedic hospitals earlier. No other organization can ensure such hospitality towards patients are maintained, such a dedicated and spirited community of staffs in the long run. This is more an enabling environment for staff and everyone in many aspects.
Negatives:
I was staying in pb2 where wash basin was clogged for more than 12 days despite requesting maintenance in reception almost every day. (This is not to point Fingers at anybody. Requesting to take it in the right spirit) .The smell emanating from the clogged washroom was highly unhygienic throughout the first 12 days which was unbearable .For more than 12 days one of the therapist keep talking to another therapist nonstop during the treatment which could have been avoided and helped me heal better . Thanks for accommodating my two and half year old kid and bearing her loud shouts which disturb the Ambience of the Vaidyagrama. The treatment related requests to reception were handled swiftly by the reception staffs and I was attended to promptly in times were immediate medical care was necessary.
The maintenance staff Devi and Jaya were very friendly pharmacy staff Krishnaveni other also friendly towards my kid. Dr. Neethu Thomas and wife of Mr. Hakeem so supportive and friendly which made my day more memorable and worthwhile.
Padaabhyanga and lepam treatment could have been far better (not satisfied) To sum it up there is a lot for me to learn and bring it in my life activities from here the Vaidyagrama the ambience, food , how a human being treat another on day to day basis, what is offered here is lot more than treatment, a lesson for a human being to keep himself at ease and in tune with natural environment thank you for everything ...especially spiritual activities

I sit in gratitude as I contemplate all the sustenance that I have received here at Vaidyagrama. I arrived with a semi hardened shill that you first cracked with the pounding and then softened with the pouring of warm water. The softer I became the mine I could soak up the beauty and, the kindness me here. Vaidyagrama is truly healing bases where one can put down their defenses (their ego) and absorb are the healing that is here. I am very grateful to those that had the vision of Vaidyagrama and to those that are here: all the doctors, therapist, cooks, cleaners, gardeners, and all other support staff. I am especially grateful to Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar, Geethu, and Kalpana for their loving support.

The therapist were wonderful, they were very accommodating.
The food was delicious and always felt, good digestive wind.

I am very grateful for the experimental immersion of Panchakarma here in Vaidyagrama, it have been a life altering journey on my path to wellness. The science of Ayurveda and the wisdom of harmony of the body, mind, spirit and consciousness makes instinctive here.
The authenticity of the environment is very conductive to healing. All of the doctors and the staffs are dedicated, to supporting the health and well-being of the patient. The food is nourishing and delicious. The ritual of daily satsang and yoga nidra, as well as the chanting in the morning and evening gives a natural rhythm to each day. It was a special treat to experience the many Pooja's and incredible Mandala art during our first week here.
Special thanks to Dr. Ramdas your positivity knowledge, compassion and contagious laughter is a gift to the world

Keep coming back annually; I can see major progress in my conditions, special appreciation to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Hari Kumar and my therapists Devika and Lakshmi.

My week end trip, albeit short stay for just 2 days was an eye opener as far as the body and health was concerned. Right from the doctor’s consultation to the treatment and prescriptions, it was so revealing about the importance of health and maintenance.
Have to write about the place- neat and well laid out with friendly staff ever courteous.
Overall, great experience with a definite urge to return for longer stay in 2019

Good morning!
This is my second journey to Vaidyagrama depended to my experience from last years.
My deepest appreciation is for the respectfulness of the space provided, and being able to receive treatments in a peaceful setting and with silence and mindfulness.
The doctors and treatments are knowledgeable, and compassionate towards patients of their healing process.
The prayers, poojas, satsang and yoganidra are incredibly supportive to this process.
For me Vaidyagrama is my refudge which supports the mystery of the “unknown” my faith in humanity and for a future for this earth.
I plan on returning each year for as long as able and providing support in ways of respect, love and prayers

Ending my India journey with the quiet and lovely stay at Vaidyagrama wakes me. Want to come back again and again. Everyone here is beyond friendly. Doctors, therapists, staff everyone.
I love the idea how once body heals all by itself if given enough rest and break from habitual stress, transformation is called for from within.
Special thanks for the care and attention from Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Neethu. Amazing people.
Keep it up! You are doing the right thing as long as you keep supporting the kids, environment and traditions. Vaidyagrama will keep joy and prospering.

It is with pleasure to write a little about Vaidyagrama, nevertheless in view of the short stay.
Came here with no introduction but overall I believe we made the right choice
The fact that we were made to 'travel' in time tunnel, without AC, TV, internet and total vegetarian food was something we will bring along and cherish.
We will also try to talk with friends about this unique environment back home.
One humble suggestion is for having someone to show the surroundings in the first day itself.
Overall we wish to put on record our appreciation to all the doctors and staff for their effort.

Staying in Vaidyagrama has given me not only physical healing beet also mental relaxation and a good push for spiritual development. It is a very special place with a unique energy sensitive and caring doctors and loving staff. I had a truly holistic experience here in all levels and I am sure that I will continue seeing the fruits of this experience as I go back home. This was the first exposure to panchakarma for me and as a student of Ayurveda, from the college of Ayurveda” luk” I go back with a lot of practical knowledge.
Big THANK YOU to the doctors Dr. Harikumar, your morning prayers are so devotional they deeply touched in my heart .Dr. Renjisha thank you for your patience and your time explaining everything when I had many questions. Dr. Ramadas I will never forget you how you helped me to overcome the aversion of my mind during my last day of ghee.

This stay at Vaidyagrama was clearly karma driven…
Came without clear idea of what will occurs, and met a family, who just look me as I am, without any judgement.
Really gifted, and able to attend those magnificent Pooja.
I leave after 3 weeks, truly repaired and feeling myself more than I did for years.
Many thanks to the whole team, take care

The spiritual events, poojas that happened here, the people that I met, guidance I got, friends I made, prayers that were answered were signs from the universe. Vaidyagrama's history, mission, set up, staff, the way people treat each other and live the harmony with the nature makes it easier for patients to connect with the universe, feel the positive energy and grow spirituality. This is a precious place. I wish the community the very best.

This is my first visit to this place. We came here for my back pain and my wife's BP, but nothing has been okay. I have not seen much for health benefits, but I hope so it will give the improvements after a month or so. Food is poor, but the doctors are good at the staffs are ok.
Thanks to Dr. Ramanandan and all the other doctors and staff, for now. If I am ok in the next few months, I will come back for a pleasant stay. God bless to all of you.

Dear all at Vaidyagrama,
It was an experience I would wish. I visited 5 years back and I found the same hospitality and warmth among the vaidyagramians. I was treated with care and 8 days of treatment created a vast recovery and due to lack of time I forced to leave. Would definitely comeback for more number of days next time.

After 4 weeks of treatment I am feeling significant relief of the symptoms, I arrived considered about my being is confused with feelings of contentment and clarity. My biological system feels properly regulated. I feel so nice that i am considering staying even longer so as not to rush out too soon. I want to make sure I know my system needs the time it needs to establish a help the rhythm before I confront to the obstacles of society. That being said, I realize I must move on for now at some point and I am grateful for a renewed sense of hope and strength to pursue my Dharma, as an ayurvedic health counselor. Thanks to all the amazing skilled and wise doctors and therapist as well as the maintenance and cooking staff for their honorable seva. The world needs more of sanctuaries like Vaidyagrama; they are setting a beautiful and profound example for everyone to see what it looks like to live in harmony with the cycles of nature within our bodies and with the great outside environment. I hope to return soon for studies and further treatment when done

My sincere gratitude to all the people of Vaidyagrama. I came here for my dad's treatments and in the last 20 days the same has improved a lot. The place was amazing as it's never gives you the environment of the so called hospital. The doctors and staffs share the warmth and love it does the healing for you in many ways. Personally for me food was a challenge, since I am not a green vegetable diet. The stay was amazing. One suggestion I have to put forward was for food, if you can do a buffet like thing it would reduce the wastage of the food.

This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama. I found this place as a great place to rejuvenate. The ambience which consists many things like healthy diet regimen, prayers and satsang so looks at the holistic way towards healing mind and body both.
While I have not seen much health benefit so far, I am quite confident it is going to give me tangible improvements soon. I am planning to apply the knowledge I gained here once outside.
I would also like to thank Dr. Ramanandan and his colleagues, therapists, other staff members who ensured a pleasant stay here. Lately I am really impressed to know that Vaidyagrama is also engaged in many activities for the benefit of its staff and to the society as a whole.
All the very best for the great vision and mission

I came to Vaidyagrama with a knee pain which was not going away inspite of taking medicines. Within 10 days of starting the treatment, the knee pain vanished.
The treatment were very intense, the journey through helped not only physically but mentally and emotionally to slow down and take care of my health. Excellent care, food and treatments. I would recommend this experience for all, especially to staffs of Vaidyagrama.

In the midst of cities expanding everywhere with pollution and noise this place is an Oasis Neutering body mind and the spirit with its tranquil environment and nature. Everything is done here with care and love from the rooms to the detail attention to patients needs and health.
Also the therapist and cleaners do things with care and cleanliness.
Will surely recommend to friends since the doctors don't only treat with Ayurveda but live with the principles themselves.
May you continue and thrive in the years come.

This is second visit had many challenges for me . I was not well when i arrived and was often unable to let go of my fears. There was much love, care and skill offered me for the four weeks and although I am not sure of what will awact me in the next months. I have learned many valuable lessons. My room was perfectly located and I spent many hours on my week with the birds especially. Even though I am unsure right now, I can see a path more clearly for addressing especially emotional fragility. Even something so simple as chronic hoarseness place my voice above my throat. when I am afraid and the sound that comes out. I have not been able to accept. So shiva’s breathing instructions have been very helpful. I will seek further help to move my mind and my self back down into my heart.
I have deep gratitude even when sometimes. I have not been able to touch it skillfully.

I feel very lucky and blessed to have had the opportunity to be here at vaidyagrama. I have so many people to thank, starting with Aparna ji for accomodating me. The ever smiling sonia and the front desk team instantly made me feel athome and comfortable. Infact the whole team has been very warm and caring. I cant get over the smiles & good vibes everyone of the staff sends out. Thank you Dr. Harikesh for pushing me to finish my ghee each day and Dr. Siva jothi for checking up on me. Dr. Mini you are a star. Thanks for all the chats, I feel like I have made a good friend and I hope we will be in touch. Dr. Harikrishnan I cannot thank you enough. You are easiest the kindest, gentlest, wisest doctor I have come across. Thank you so much for reminding me to surrender and teaching me to be still. Shalini, Deekshita and Devaki are such amazing people always smiling and always putting us, the patients before even themselves. There were days I could see they were tired or not well but they continued with what they had to do with a smile sakunthala. I love the philosophy behind everything at vaidyagrama. It is so much of what our world needs today. It was definitely what I needed and has been my sanctuary for the last 25 days. I am having major pangs about leaving and I really hope I will be back again soon.
A big Thank you to vidyagrama and everyone who helps in making it happen.

The peace of Vaidyagrama can be sensed as one approaches the entrance that sense of peace remains strong me in after the intensity of the treatment nor the strangeness of the food nor the black wriggly insect that bit me at mid night.
To say that the kindness caring sensitivity are all so intrinsic point to a … impulse and manifestation which is a healing inspiration in itself.

Dear all the staff members at Vaidyagrama,
This is my first visit here. At first the quietness of the place scared me but as the days passed I love this peaceful environment. All the staff from doctors to the cleaning people are very courteous and helpful. This place has some of the best Ayurvedic doctors. Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Ramadas (my doctor), and others. They have found a perfect combination of Ayurvedic medicine and spiritual healing. They strive not only to cure but heal the patient from deeper inner perspective all my therapists were also patient and wonderful. The facilities design is basic from the perspective of modern conveniences but that is by design. I believe the goal here is to have the patient know themselves by being away from all the worldly pollutions. Doctors here are very spiritual and conduct satsang and prayers to awaken spiritually and impart knowledge of Ayurveda. I here also enjoyed group dinners meeting other patients from different parts of the world. Have also enjoyed entertainment after group dinner.
Overall first time visit was very good. I am impressed. Only one complaint mosquitos, even though staff doing fumigation multiple times a day to control the mosquitos population but it seems are winning the battle. God bless all the people of Vaidyagrama and big THANK YOU

This is really wonderful which we can't see in normal hospitals I am very happy to be here because I learnt how one should love other, from Heart by looking at the people here .I understood the meaning of love ,humanity and spirituality I want to offer my deepest gratitude towards my doctors who cared me a lot during my treatment Dr Ramadas, Dr. Renjisha and Dr Arun special thanks to Dr.Ramadas who never felt disturbed when I was asking many questions to him, he was always happily ready to answer all my questions and to motivate me, inspiring me ,to be positive I must say he is a special gift to all of us given by Lord .
Thank you very much for being a wonderful doctor and a spiritual healer especially of mind. I am offering my respectful obeisance onto Dr Ramadas and all other doctors and staffs including the cleaners.

It was a very interesting experience being in this Serene environment with the chirping of birds. It was a very different kind of experience with spirituality included in the treatment.
The staff and doctors are very approachable and friendly, only thing I would like to comment in the food - You need to have a good dietician who can give a balanced and nutritious yet light in the stomach depending upon the individual need of the patient. There is too much coconut and banana in all the meals.
This is my honest feedback
Thank you once again all the doctor and staff specially block B Dr Ramadas.

Thank you Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr Mini for the involvement with which you reach out. This has given tremendous confidence, helping me on the road to a healthy life.
Very courteous and loving staff, each one of them. Enjoyed the informative satsangs. What to say about the ambience it's so calm and spiritually uplifting.

True to its name Vaidyagrama has been a holistic healing village to my body and mind. I am amazed at how at a physical level there has been an amazing transformation in span of two weeks. The Psoriasis that has haunted me for 2 years, now a phenomenal change under the care of Dr. Harikrishnan. I am truly thankful to him from the bottom of my heart. I am sure with his continued treatment and advised dietary plus lifestyle changes from my side I would find complete cure.
At a mental level this has been the first time I have attempted to stay solo in my thirty seven years. With my fear of sleeping staying alone I could not have pulled it up, but for the positive vibrations and secure feeling Vaidyagrama gives by way of the chants, satsangs, the beauty of the tiled passages brick and clay walls the timely sambrani smoke and flows the friendly smiling and loving stuff. And of large most importantly the birds and the greenery. I wish you would put a mesh around the sit out, so that we can spend longer hours outside safely protected against the insects and reptiles.
Dr Mini you are solely and all in all, with your energetic and smiling self-looking into all aspects of our stay and treatment. And also sharing some lighter moments during our conversation thank you so much. Hope the sapling I planted grows.
Dr. Harikesh you were very thoughtful to check on me every now and then during my rather tough "snehapanam" days thank you!
Dr ramdas for his soulful rendering of the Vishnu and Lalita Sahasranama, it add so much strength and positivity during our stay.
Thanks to all the therapist who are each individually so sweet and caring. Anju Subhash etc. my special thanks to Lakshmi chechi for genuinely caring for me and to Devaki for her personal involvement and attention during the days I had a painful back. She is really good. Athira for her sweet smile and her enthusiasm to do everything right for us.
She sure has a great future.
Lastly to shenbagam Chechi for her effective housekeeping.
May Vaidyagrama continue to grow thoughtfully and sensibly?

The calm, peaceful location, the love and comfort extended to me by the doctors, therapists and the complete staff has really healed me. I was not expecting this as I was only accompanying my daughter who has come for a treatment, and was not myself a patient here. I am thankful to everyone.
Thoroughly impressed by the daily prayers, different divine rituals performed here from the time to time.
Looking forward to being here for a few weeks anytime in future. Thanks! At last, I would also want to share my gratitude for asking me to hoist the national flag on the Republic Day here, and it was indeed a great honour for me. Thank you all for everything!

Vaidyagrama is truly a family that includes staff, patients, the community and the environment.
After arriving 24 days ago depleted energetically and physically, I am now feeling much happiness, hope and renewal. The happiness that pervades this community has "infected" me. The doctor chats, the Satsangs, classes and chanting, all remind us that we are already whole, and are much greater and deeper than our health conditions.
This was my first of what I intend to be regular sojourns to this healing space.
In deep gratitude,

Truly impressed with all aspects of my stay at Vaidyagrama. Being from the West, there are some expectations of professionalism and service that we get used to and are not always seen in India. But doctors, staff, therapists truly exceeded all expectations.
The guidance by all the doctors are exceptional as was the support. The care and attention by the therapist was comforting and all the other staff that help to run this place, made us all feel like I was here with my family.
Well done to your Vision of Vaidyagrama. One that will continue to grow I am sure, as I am looking to contribute to its growth by bringing my clients here.
Finally thank you from the bottom of my heart for "everything".

It has a very nice and peaceful surrounding; and all the staff are so nice and helpful. Even if I had some Ayurveda massages before, but they are totally different here with the doctor’s advice.
Thank you very much for all the treatments and wonderful experience of all the healthy foods. Hope that I would come back soon. Thanks again for all the services I received with the warm heart. Namaste!

From the depth of my heart, thank you!
All you beautiful people making this a very very special place to visit. The healing I have experienced, rested in and been presented to at many different levels has been far more than I could imagine. The way you live a simple life, committed to sustainability, opens my heart and make me more in contact with faith and trust.
It has changed my relationship to the stories in my life and it has created new stories, new healing stories that I bring home. The healing journey will continue.
With love,

To all the Doctors, therapists and cooks (who gave me extra vegetables), a big thank you for setting me on the road to a healthier life.
While the road is not easy, your commitment to health will stay with me forever and encourage me to live a healthier life myself (but without all the rice !)

Thank you for another wonderful experience here at Vaidyagrama. Being able to come here three years in a row to receive treatments has been a true blessing.
Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Kesari, Dr. Athulya and Dr. Radhika are a great team. I feel very lucky to be under their care.
A lot of appreciation goes to therapists also. Lakshmi is awesome. She has more compassion than anyone I know. No matter my treatment was early morning or last of the day, she gave 100% and has a way of making you feel like you are her only patient. Please take care of Lakshmi because she takes care of so many others.
Keep growing Vaidyagrama- The world needs you.
Much love and appreciation,

I came here for a special reason and had a difficult time. I don’t know yet if healing has taken place. But I do know the doctors are wonderful and worked hard and did their very best to treat me. Even when I was difficult, they were patient, kind and optimistic.
Lakshmy and Lavanya were caring and very good therapists and took personal interest in every one in the block. The women who come to clean every day were beautiful, smiling and always helpful. Everyone here has a hand on their heart.

Everyone here at Vaidyagrama, from the kitchen staff to the loving sweet therapists, to the knowledgeable and patient doctors, to the cleaning & office staff, make this place extra special & memorable. I am very grateful for my time here and hopefully will return to experience the healing again.
The grounds are very peaceful & beautifully kept & the activities/ satsangs offered the perfect combo of rest & learning & sharing. I adore the dedication to the spiritual aspects & admire the authenticity. I will never forget this special time in my life (Dec 2017- Feb 2018).

Vaidyagrama is a remarkably idealistic community. The Ayurvedic Panchakarma treatments are authentic; but the best thing are all the opportunities to learn about the deeper meaning & spirituality. I was lucky to have several opportunities to speak with the Swami here & learned more than I have in several years.

We stayed for 18 days and found Vaidyagrama a great place to heal your body. One thing we realised is that if you are suffering from some acute/ chronic ailments, this is the place to be.
The whole set up is excellent... Great design for the village, individual apartments, staff, treatment, service etc.. All top quality.
Good luck....Hare Krishna!

After my first visit to Vaidyagrama, I leave after 3.5 weeks feeling blessed, invigorated, strong and vibrant. This magical oasis of authentic healing is made possible by the clear vision and purpose created by small group of visionary doctors who have created a vibrant culture kept alive by exceptional staff, therapists and doctors in alignment to provide deep and nourishing care.
To my great delight, I discovered a surrounding community of healers in their own way; Elders, children, priest at the temple, orphanage and endless green organic gardens and cows.
I feel a lifelong connection to this “family of friends” and see you all again in next year.
With great admiration, inspiration and affection,

I recommend Vaidyagrama to anyone in search of real healing...what a remarkable gift, exceptional love, devotion and care from a noble class team of staff from the cleaners to the doctors. A better run organisation in either business or non-profit circles. Truly to be recommended and supported.
Thank you,

This was very first stay in vaidyagrama. As already experienced in Ayurveda, I did know what will come. But it came real better. My 3 weeks in your healing village (that means feeling part of this community) were wonderful, ever though I did not feel always fine.
Things come up through the mind- physically, emotionally and in mind –and this was not pleased but very helpful too. This is full of worship, peace and is a protected place- rare in India and the world. How is it possible to love and keep good a lively silence? The nature (plants, birds) and the surroundings are enchanting and magic. The daily routine - prayers, satsang, puja, are nourishment. You offer really a window to the inner world and the world outside.
Thanks to all the wonderful staff, the doctors, physicians, kitchen staff……thank you for your help, kindness, friendliness. Thanks to Dr. Ramdas for looking after me well, and for the medical advice. Thanks to all satsangs with Dr. Ramkumar, Daniela and the others.
Few comments:
The food is very tasty and good, but sometimes a little bit spicy and salty.
You should not allow smart phones and computers during prayer and satsang.

It’s been a wonderful experience overall. The body and mind has become light and relived of all stress. The ambience and serenity of Vaidyagrama is refreshing in itself. The mantras and chantings with pranayama is soothing and useful to the mind. The doctors, therapists, and the other staff are very cordial and friendly making one ease and not missing home.
Dr Ramadas and team have taken real good care and they are very respectful to our needs. I have had a peaceful and fruitful time at Vaidyagrama, and benefits to my health is very visible. I am happy to be here and wish to be back for longer duration next time.
Thanks to Dr. Ramdas, Dr. Sajna and all others at Vaidyagrama.

I came in very sceptical, wondering whether I would last the rigours of the treatments for two weeks. But the doctors and the people here made the two weeks go by as though it was a few hours of exhilarating fun time.
Days went by as minutes, and with each passing day you felt more energized and felt great mentally and physically. The treatments nourished your body and soul. The environment with natural herbs and plants made you sleep well and breathe Ayurveda air.
Dr.Ramadas was great at what he was doing and ably assisted by Dr Sajna. They made you feel at home. And the well trained staffs were fantastic.
Thanks to all with love,

I have reached here exhausted and very depleted, my system stuck. The commitment to this healing could only succeed in truly spiritual, committed and lightly professional environment. Vaidyagrama is a place to become whole again in its best sense.
Thank you Dr.Ramadas for your heartfelt, soulful and professional guidance.
It surely has helped me to feel so much better and to bring even more focus on my path of growing awareness. I shall stay committed to the process and are planning already to be back!
With warm love and gratitude to this special place and all its loving souls,

This is my second stay in VG. It was not only treatments and doctors' consultations, but also learning experiences. It was a time when I have to make very important decisions in life. Staying in VG helped me to quieten my mind and come to right decisions. I am truly grateful to the staff and doctors, especially Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Mubash for the help and assistance.
Always fascinated by attending satsangs with Dr. Ramkumar. Impressed by the depth of his knowledge, and ability to communicate and have patience, and of course to have the visionary idea of creating and running VG.
Great thanks to all people at VG, from therapists to the cleaning ladies, for making my stay so enjoyable. One more thing to add, I enjoyed the food, looking forward to learning it myself.
Looking forward to see all of you hopefully in a year.
Truly yours,

My stay here was very enjoyable and beneficial. Both doctors, Ramanandan and Anupama were very knowledgeable and clearly explained the issues and treatments to me. All of my questions were answered and I felt very comfortable. The staff was also very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. People would frequently check up on me to make sure my needs were met, which I found very helpful.
Overall I noticed that my condition improved dramatically while I was here,and would highly recommend this experience to others. I should also note how helpful my therapists were, not just in therapy, but also in helping me with other things. The lady who cleaned my room was very considerate and also very good at her job.

All three of us had rejuvenation, which was indeed wonderful during our stay at vaidyagrama.
Both the doctors, Dr.Harikumar and Dr. Ramanandan visited us frequently and took care of our treatment well. The block attenders were very prompt in giving us kashayam, meals and drinking water right through the day. The therapists were excellent and ensured that we took the treatment on time every day. The support staff at vaidyagrama were quite sincere and concern makes our stay quite pleasant. The admin team too were very efficient in coordinating things for us.
Overall this experience we had was a memorable one, and we will sure come again for treatment.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
This is my third visit and you all are a major blessing in my life. I have learned to follow your advice to the letter, and it has done wonders for my health and well-being. The whole experience here is for my body and soul. I look forward to my monthly refreshing all year.
Even in my 3 years I have watched your wonderful healing garden spring to life. It is a symbol of all that is best here. The doctors, the therapists, the cook, the cleaners, the front office staff - you seem to make each other bloom together & make us bloom.
Special thanks go to Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Kesari, Dr.Athulya, Dr.Radhika. They have been caring beyond caring, and have dealt with particular things with patience, skill, and creativity; Lakshmi and other therapists have been great.
I am also deeply moved by your on-going and expanding service to the wider commitments at the heart of the Ayurveda.
To all of you known and unknown, I express my profound gratitude for all that you do and all that you are!
See you next year!

Well, all has been said; everyone is delighted with doctors, talks, activities, and the healing process.
The patients / clientele are so expressive, adding to the joy of what is here. Always a smile! I felt very comfortable and nurtured, and hope I was able to nurture others.
My only regret is that I did not stay for 30 days as recommended, but only 9 days. Now that I have learned so much about staying healthy, I will expand my time.
All the best love and happiness to all!

My thanks to all of them, especially to the Therapists who are so kind and thoughtful; to the Doctors who were always there, vigilant and patiently explaining everything, constantly observing. Thanks also to the house-keeping staff, always smiling and very thorough. The herbal garden spread throughout the campus is very calming and relaxation. I learned a lot. The morning and evening prayer sessions were wonderful.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
Aahhh...thank you for being here!
Thank you for your caring, healing and love. I laugh when I think of the mental gymnastics I go through here, from crying on arrival. So happy to be back for a second year to the feelings of joy, impatience, restlessness, surrender, peace, grief are there in the course of a day sometimes. You all provide this sacred space to allow that to happen, as I go through the journey and come at the other side, crying with gratitude again; and then it begins again.
You are all amazing and I am hoping to return next year and will certainly be telling people about this!

Much gratitude to all the staff at beautiful Vaidyagrama! I felt so cared for by everyone. I was taken aback by how attentive, kind and fun the doctors were. The accommodations were lovely, simple, clean and calming.
It was such a pleasure to wake up with the sound of birds every morning. I loved all the food; so much heart and soul were poured in to each bite. Thank you for holding such a clear vision of authenticity. I learned so much about surrendering to the process, and being patient. What a gift to be able to pause and absorb healing and transformation in such a sweet and gentle way. I am so energized and revived and inspired. I couldn't ask for more.

Fantastic 4 doctors! Thank you for your commitment, comprehensive consultations and care and the thoughtful treatments; team and wonderful house mother like Lakshmi and ever smiling Devika looking after the rooms.
I enjoyed seeing your mission to see how authentic Ayurveda can be made contemporary with its value; seeing your broad Vision getting to experience this community of care and community of learning and how you cover many dimensions. It was wonderful to have the focus of food coming together here of a higher purpose.
One of my health goals has to been to address /change over-eating and somehow regulate the appetite, and that has continued to happen; it is such a relief not to have the incessant and desire.
It is easy to be here and very restful. It is inspired and is inspiring. My only feedback for the improvement is a mattress protector that doesn’t slip. People of Australia don’t have access to healing centres of this nature. I wish I could bottle you all as well as the herbs!
Good luck with your work, and your lives!

The experience I have had at Vaidyagrama has been exceptional and beyond what I expected. Durga Leela has been telling me for years about how wonderful your staff is, and how changed I will be living. She was so right; it is the combination of the warm, cosy, clean ambience along with the attentive, friendly staff; delicious food, and doctors and staff that “really care”.
I am so sad to leave, but I know I will be back; but thank you for the kindness you all have shown and the feeling of love. I love it here and will be recommending until next visit.

“Health is wealth” they say… At Vaidyagrama I learnt the real meaning of “keep it simple”. The self-discipline I managed was very graciously encouraged and assisted by the extremely humble, amazingly knowledgeable team of doctors, therapists and all the management and staff.
Thank you in words is not enough. I hope to continue my wellness routine and soon make it “a way of life”!
Wishing all at Vaidyagrama specially Dr.Ramkumar, Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Kesari, Dr.Athulya, Dr.Radhika and the entire team the very best. Aparna and Geetha, stay motivated and inspired! Keep in touch... Miss me!!

Dearest friends,
Wow, so dear in my heart as friends can be!
Until I came to Vaidyagrama I had not known of a place where one could come and in the most vulnerable way be received with complete acceptance, kindness and care. When I first arrived I could not help but think of my many experiences in medical offices with bright glaring lights, the sound of whirring instruments and gadgets, the smell of disinfectant and a doctor whose schedule was always pressing to move to the next patient.
The speed of living here, gentle and wholly connected to the cycle of day and night, the arrival of weather as it comes, with the sounds of activity being that of our daily needs being cared for, and birds and animals simply doing what they do best, the sound of prayers, the sounds of healing - these are the sounds of life as it is rooted in the spirit and the flow of a great force of nature and of universal intelligence.
The care of all here has touched me very deeply. The structure of our day as patients is very balanced, and I especially appreciate the time given to meeting a variety of needs such as understanding and growth (Satsang), group dinner (community and connection), private consultation with 2 doctors (trust, mutuality, being truly seen and heard), treatments- health, nurturance and our wonderful meals and medicines which the caring staff deliver like magic; all combine to allow a deep rest and reconnecting to self.
I leave here with immense gratitude for all at Vaidyagrama and at the Trust. I have gathered my experience into a medicine bundle in my heart to take back to America and to my family and my broader community. I pray with the radiance you have bestowed upon me, and will move through me to uplift others in ways not yet known.
I will not say goodbye as I will surely see you all again.
With love and gratitude,

A deep sense of calm descended when I came to Vaidyagrama. I felt right at home - surrounded by nature and more importantly, by people who care and show in every little way. From the doctors, therapists to the maids and gardeners, this has an immediate effect on the patients, and the healing begins. I also deeply admire the doctors for having the courage and Vision to start the back-to-basic approach to wellbeing.
Vaidyagrama is unique, and should be nurtured and cherished for future generations. Finally I would be negligent if I don't thank my fellow patients for the good wishes, energy and a deep sense of love and friendship.

I pray for everyone and their family’s well-being. I wish everyone a contented journey in their life ahead. Thank you very much for your nourishing kindness.

Dear Vaidyagrama family
Yes, it does feel like a family - a very welcoming and caring place filled with happiness. I have heard it called a hospital, but it does not have the sterile, bleak and cold environment of what the word Hospital brings to mind.
It's a warm atmosphere,from buildings made of warm colours and natural materials, to the warmth of smiles and healing hands.
The program is comprehensive with its gentle treatments, educational sessions, and organic foods, designed for easy digestion, quiet and birds!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for preserving and making your dream of such a place come true.
Thanks for the daily prayers and Puja and your focus of treating the whole person.
Thanks for getting philosophical and discussing Karma, past lives and the importance of a positive attitude.
Thanks for watching out for your surrounding community and helping them thrive.
Thanks for your endless patience with our constant questions that you have probably heard a hundred times.
I am particularly grateful to Dr.Ramadas, Dr.Krishnadas, Dr.Ramkumar, Manjusha, Jayashree, Shiny, Mallika, Sunita, Veena, Aparna and all the staff for providing a high quality healing experience. Hugs to you all! I hope to return some day!

Much thanks, Pranams, and love go to everyone who adds their positive energy to this amazing healing village.
Dr.Ramadas is a good role model in selfless service, compassion, humility, joy and devotion. Coupled with his knowledge and patience, I feel blessed to have had him as my primary doctor.
All of the other doctors that visited me or I learned from in Satsang were equally caring, patient and compassionate.
Dr Ramkumar's knowledge, patience and wisdom were appreciated in the Satsangs he generously held.
The therapists with their lovely smiles and caring nature were a joy to be around. I felt very nurture in their care.
The Smiles, pranams, and few words we had in common were so pleasant to share with the cleaning and grounds-keeping staff who took such good care of the environment. I didn't meet most of the cooking staff, but their love and care were felt in the healthy delicious food I enjoyed.
I feel so blessed and grateful to have had this experience of cleansing my body and mind and connecting at a deeper level with my True Nature.

To all the staff, doctors, treatment staff, cooks/kitchen help, cleaners...proper thank you so much for the authentic and divine compassionate care and attention I was given.
Each and every moment of my 26 days I felt completely attended to. First I would like to thank Durga for finding Vaidyagrama. Secondly I would like to acknowledge all physicians - especially Dr.Athulya, Dr.Kesari, Dr.Harikrishnan for taking care of me, and deciding what treatments I needed.
I loved attending prayers, especially when Dr Ramadas sang his heart out at the chanting. I learned so much at each Satsang - everyone teaches me a little more each day. And even though the Yoga Nidra was on tape, it is the best I have experienced. I would also like to thank Lakshmi who really took care of me at each treatment.
I prayed every day to God to help me in all aspects, so I may return to get the full benefits of my treatment.
Love to all of you,

Namaskar !
Thank you to all of the staff that come together to make Vaidyagrama happen. Last year was my 1st Panchakarma here and it was one of the best years of my life and it was one of the best years of my life and I am feeling even more balanced and connected to my practices and staying healthy !!
So I am even more excited to see what this year will bring.
This is the most beautiful atmosphere that brings out the kindness in everyone here, and that is all because of the energy and love put into Vaidyagrama. I thank you so much for all you do!
I am so grateful to feel at home and a part of the Vaidyagrama family; I will definitely be back next year!!

This is our first visit in Vaidyagrama. I am very pleased to be here. First two days I thought without tea I would not be able to survive here. After two days I feel so light and relaxed that I decided I would not take tea when I will be back home.
Here I feel so wonderful. The atmosphere is so fresh and looks like a small village. Treatment-wise also, it is very perfect. All the doctors are very caring and knowledgeable. We do not feel this as hospital; it’s also mixture of spiritual, medicine, therapy. The doctors' care and organic food all are fantastic. I would like to say special thanks to Dr.Ramadas for taking my husband with him outside of Vaidyagrama.

My heartfelt thanks to all the staff at vaidyagrama. Thank you for this experience of Ayurveda, this ancient healing process that has helped to understand my body, my mind and gave a glimpse into my soul. This has been a true healing process.
Every one, the doctors, the therapists, the chefs,the maintenance staff always wear a smile. I will learn to take that smile with me on my journey. Lakshmi is wonderful.
May the long-time sun shine up on you all!

Dear Vaidyagrama souls,
I truly miss the right words to express my gratitude and love. All you say and do here, we can experience in any next moment. More, maybe we can experience something that you do not say, but I felt it so many times in those lovely smiles and humble moments.
I was looking the place like this - with authentic Ayurveda long time. Now I can say (as for many often things in life that you used to wait patiently for long time), it was worth for waiting every tiny minute.
Thank you so much for your love and devotion. I will take part of it with me and will keep it alive. Life is a flower 🌸
With love,

Thank you all for your devoted, loving care... for the buzz on my door at 5:15 am just like a hospital.
I forgot this is a hospital... the yummy cup of sweet tea we all look forward to at 6 A.M.
It's more like a huge family being enveloped by a large loving family who makes us all better from the inside out, as long as we take our medicines.
The food has been great.
Who ever thought I could eat lentils and rice for breakfast, and look forward to more!?
Thank you kitchen staff for all that preparation. Exciting to lift the lid on the tiffin box to see what surprise was in it today.
We may all starve the first week at home, but I know I will return soon to be healed and cared for by you all again.
You have a very unique environment here, an oasis in the desert, where the people of the world come to be nourished and cared for.
A special thanks to Devaki and her crew in block 4....so much love shared with me.

Immense gratitude for everyone at Vaidyagrama who made my stay so special.
This is my first Panchakarma and it surely won't be my last.
Tremendous transformations have taken place in my mind, body and soul. Connecting with Nature has allowed me to experience my wholeness and to feel healthy, happy and holy.
Dr. Ramadas, you are a such a boss! Your healing is pure magic; without you I would be lost!
So much love for the friends that have turned into family in the short month I have been here. Loved the daily satsangs and plan to continue to study Ayurveda back home.
Love and light,

Thank you Biju! The snake catcher, for the wonderful massage today! My last day of treatment after 29 in total. Truly authentic, a unique gem I am grateful to have finally arrived here after 7 years when I first found out Vaidyagrama at the Salt Spring Center of Yoga, Canada.
So much love and healing intentions here, permeating through the smiles, the plants and animals. I love the care provided here, and the food is the best I have ever had! Luckily I get to stay for an additional 10 to 20 days of rest and will continue to enjoy the prayers and satsangs.
Thank you to my Dr.Harikrishnan and his calm and confident approach. I feel cleansed and am now rejuvenating. Many thanks to all the other doctors and therapists for all they lovingly provide.
I will for sure come back, with friends and family.
My very best wishes to Vaidyagrama staff and the greater community of Punarnava Ayurveda trust!

Thank you for an amazing experience here at Vaidyagrama. The scenery was beautiful and peaceful. The staff and doctors were wonderful and a huge help. Although the ghee treatment was tough I am glad it is under my belt. The satsangs were very helpful and I enjoyed the saturday evening community dinner.
There were many times when I was bored and reading would not be helpful although that is likely the goal - it is the only feedback (constructive) I have, something to help with the boredom.
I was blessed to have been able to be here with your wonderful doctors and staff I will carry this with me for many years . I hope to see you all again in the coming years, Ghee free!!

This is my fourth and longest stay at Vaidyagrama. I kept on extending. Is it possible to become addicted to Panchakarma and Vaidyagrama?! Every year has been a different experience but always enriching. I am blessed to be able to take this time to reconnect with nature and my own nature in this beautiful and authentic environment that is always nurturing and Soul healing.
Give Thanks to the visionaries of this project (Dr Ramkumar et al.), to the doctors for their good care and especially this year to Dr.Ramadas who represents pure Bhakti and always having wise words to share.
Thank you to all the caring therapists and special thanks to Shiny who shines like a star, and to all the Vaidyagrama family and staff.

I feel so sweetly and kindly nourished by all of you. It has helped me remember and sit in the part of me that is kind, steady, present, warm. It is like a Mother's Womb as Dr Ramkumar says - steady rhythm of each day so restful.
The birds, the plants, architecture and especially the community of wonderful therapists and doctors and admin staff - It is growing beautifully. I am inspired to take this pulse of village healing and kindness back home to my village neighbourhood. Many thank you to all who have chosen to dedicate themselves to making this village home with a huge inclusive Heartbeat of healing.
I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to have stayed here twice now.
I hope to return again in the future.

Taking home the memories of a very pleasant experience of this healing village called Vaidyagrama. I am extremely thankful to the doctors, therapists, especially to Dr.Ramadas and therapists who did my treatments and the staff as a whole.
Enjoyed the pujas conducted here, the daily prayers, weekend group dinners and the Satsangs. There is so much to learn at every stage of life.
This sort of holistic healing is so beneficial to the body and mind. Thanks for everything!
With love and best wishes, looking forward to coming here once again.

I had been told about vaidyagrama by a friend, more than a year ago; but I resisted coming here as I did not feel it would be help me. I am glad I finally did give in, and came for the course. I have had a very relaxing, comfortable stay of 6 weeks, wherein I have had sessions of different treatments. The doctors, those who administer the treatment have always been kind,cheerful and helpful with smile. They have never been impatient or angry, but always smiling. I feel the treatments and medication will help my long lasting medical problems, and I hope to come back in a few months.
Thank you all for a comfortable and soothing stay.
Wishing all the people here a happy year ahead!

Dr.Ramadas et al.
You asked me on admission what I was here for and at that time I stated "an adventure". Thank goodness I had little concept of how true that would be. These last two weeks have provided much solitude giving space for the occurrence of subtle shifts and quiet awakenings. I leave here knowing that my arms are an extension of my heart and their task is to continue with good works.
I thank you for the care and guidance and providing just enough but not too much information. My thirsty mind learned to quell itself and trust!
Always with the greatest of love,

Dear All,
My stay at vaidyagrama has been a journey of ups and downs, but always towards health and wellbeing. The more I let go it seems the better the treatment results. You are also very kind and caring. This place is a special sanctuary during these times of fast paced living. Vaidyagrama reminds us to slow down, to pay attention and to be kind to our self.
Thank you to each of you, for your loving care!
I hope to return with more family members in the near future.
All my best! I will remember you and all your kindness...

Having brought all of this into our hearts, we will take it home in gratitude.

I offer deep gratitude for your warm welcome, open hearts, skilful actions and patient encouragement. So much caring! When I watched the garden workers, ate the food, and encountered the orderly housekeeping staff, I could see the solid foundation of this care.
My own obstacles of mind arose endlessly. The atmosphere is one of offering and it was for me to engage mindfully or get best in confusion or fall into distraction. Fortunately each was impermanent from moment to moment. My intention is to do my best to follow the path and then to return.
Deep bow,

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
I am very grateful and I thank you very much for helping me to recover in such a beautiful and quiet place, full of love.
I had a super treatment to find health and peace surrounded by nice persons that provide you also the care and attention. When you stay here, you feel you are part of a much wider project by helping this joyful community and supporting its projects (particularly the orphanage).
A fantastic team that surround you with love, smile and empathy. I have been lucky to meet this team, to share moments with all of them, and am looking forward to come back.
Many thanks to all the V team!

Once again Vaidyagrama has made me feel like a child returning home. The care I receive here is like NOTHING else I’ve ever experienced from any other place of healing. This place is that healing!! I have come to see my therapists as my mothers, here to care!!
I am very excited to incorporate Ayurveda to my everyday life and career. It makes me think that I have FINALLY found something that I am passionate about, that has helped me tremendously, and that I want to share with the world / sphere I influence.
Thank you for sticking with me through all of the ups/downs of my life, and for getting me through this process with grace and ease. The treatments are amazing!! Thank you to all of the behind the scenes staff (housekeeping, maintenance, administration, accounting, front desk, security, garden/ grounds worker, farmers, transport (taxi), IT, teachers ... and of course, the kitchen staff!! I hope to become great like you :)
Truly, VG has captured my attention and affection!!!
THANK YOU.
Please come visit California any time (even if I’m not there) and I am happy to offer travel advice and welcome you to the West Coast.

It is difficult for me to express in words the depth of gratitude I have to you for the opportunity and privilege of staying with you for my healing journey.
Before coming here, myself and life were in a dark place. I had little hope or faith that the world had any good left, that malevolent forces had stamped out any efforts to bring humanity back into balance with nature. I had become so without hope that I had taken to obsessive and self-destructive habits, glued to screens and always looking for my next tasty cornucopia of unhealthy food. I had disconnected from the world and the people in my life, thinking that any form of connection could only bring pain, because of course, there was no hope of saving our world.
But the unfathomable graciousness and dedication of everyone here, from the doctors and therapists, to the cooks and cleaners, has made me realise there are still people who believe it is possible to restore balance in our lives and with nature. You move with a purpose that demonstrate your belief that this is worth doing, worth fighting for. The depth and vastness of your love, compassion and prosperity is in itself a joy and has given me the positivity and hope. I was very sorely lacking. I feel energized now to begin on taking on the table of rebuilding with joyfulness.
Thank you so much for everything. I hope to come back and give back very soon!
Warm Regards,

Our sincere thanks to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Harikumar and Dr Anupama for their personal attention, care and time. Our thanks also to all the staff who, in one way or the other, contributed to our stay here. A special thanks to Punitha for her patience with Wi-Fi. We came here with trepidation and were 'lost' at first, but then Vaidyagrama wrapped its arm around us.
The well-planned layout, the greenery, the peacocks, the bird song, the service, the friends from the world over, will be an experience long remembered (except the heat!). God willing, we will come again.
Once again our most sincere thanks.

Vaidyagrama!
This has been the most precious gift for what has been a very cloudy mid-point in my life. To be able to just slow down and to stop running from my true nature has been a rare and precious opportunity. Since I arrived, I was greeted with care, patience, warmth and a steady humour.
The staff have all shone with a collective dedication that has enabled experience to be eager every time. I return home a better man in many ways.
Thank you with all my being!

I was totally in a different world since 21 days. Wonderful program and spiritual environment!
This program is helping the person to care physically, psychologically and spiritually. It has given me opportunity to meet new people from different places of world and make friends. I understand no medicine will help if you are not well with your mind and stress.
Nice and service oriented employees. So impressed with the Vision of Punarnava and learn about future plans.
I will look for some research wing in Vaidyagrama on Ayurveda and make doctors involve in new intentions.

Hare Krishna! Excellent satvik atmosphere. Excellent physicians, therapists and housekeeping. It was like a home away from home.
A suggestion I want to give being a homeopathic graduate – there is all burden on the physicians. I think it should be a hierarchy where everyone is given responsibility from bottom to top in medical section.
Special instructions of vegetables, food and fruits recommended for the Vata, pitta, and kapha would be appreciated at the time of discharge.

Stay at Vaidyagrama in room no 208 was a pleasant experience.
General service and caring provided by both attendants was adequate. They always responded swiftly for any need we required. The girls and boys during massage know their job very well and are doing very nice job. We do have a special admiration for therapists. The girl Geethu was very particular for coming and asking for the food I shall be getting.
A special note for the office staff, as they were always helpful. IT staff helped me to best of their capacity within constraint of no connectivity of my mobile phone.
The line of treatment provided by Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Harikumar & Dr. Anupama had cared for both of us well.
Staff of housekeeping and maintenance were always available.
In case due to any reason I have been upset regarding food or other services, I found related team members, well understanding and cooperative to meet my needs.
I wish you all very best for your future!

There are things we feel as imaginary...
- Singing birds
- Smiling trees and plants
- Welcoming and smiling people
- Doctors & staff, therapists and other who work around, who all feel like your own family
- Attentive and always ready to help.
- Where people old and young, smart and uneducated, lives as a family (United one!)
- You can come here and leave all your worries, living free with full trust in the system Vaidyagrama have created.
The culture of community, culture of love, when it is developed, the healing follows.
My heartiest wish to Vaidyagrama, to maintain and grow this lovely family and culture.

You looked after me so well and were there every moment I needed you. I feel so relaxed and clean now, and have all the strength to face the big world again.
What you do here is GOLD!
You didn’t just heal a part of me, you do a great benefit to Mother Nature, your people (the natives) and the one who are in great need for it. The world needs more places like you.

If traditional Ayurveda is one of the great wonders of the world, then Vaidyagrama is a “world heritage” site for authentic healing, learning and living in harmony with ourselves, the community and the natural world.
This is my 4th visit in 6 years. Each time I am in awe of growth, improvements and qualities of care. And each time I return home feeling lighter, healthier, younger, wiser, more clear and positive, devoted and grateful for this incredible place of healing.
These simple, yet profound disciplines, rituals, diets and philosophy are becoming more integrated into my lifestyle as a result of the treatments and opening myself more and more to this way of life, my health issues have become asymptomatic and my mind gained right understanding and better choices in my daily life.
Dr. Harikrishnan is an incredibly humble man whose sincere guidance, wisdom and generosity nourished me physically and spiritually. Thank you for your care and cure as well as supporting my devotional l path. Thanks Dr. Kesari, for your friendship and support with Sanskrit, and your psychological and philosophical support will remain with me. Dr. Athulya is a ray of sunshine whose inner joy, light heartedness and competence help to make each day at Vaidyagrama a joy.
Lakshmi is the best therapist I have ever experienced; she is a model of uncompromising quality of care, untiring and hard work. It’s hard not to feel as if you are the only patient. Thank you to the whole team: Dr. Radhika, Abhila, Lavanya, Athira and Chembagam who cleaned my room daily, never failing to inquire into my wellbeing. And to all the staff : cooks, ground people, the lovely woman who taught me how to clean my lamp, reception, administration and Dr. Ramkumar who all contribute to this remarkable place and make up the Vaidyagrama family.
I carry you all in my heart with gratitude.
See you again soon.

Living in Vaidyagrama village has been an experience for the soul, heart and body.
Ayurveda is the healing method which seems to be healing in many levels. It aims also to take you to another level.
What I feel is that I have reached another awareness of my body, of my energy, of my emotions.
Doing Ayurveda in combination with yoga sets my senses free to experience what is beyond the limits of my body.

To my Vaidyagrama doctors- I was advised to come to your healing village with open mind, open heart and lots of faith in the guidance you would give me. In doing so you gave me back my Agni, which had been missing for quite some time.
I know that I am leaving here with all the tools I will need to finish the work at home, and since I made sure to get all of your email addresses you can count on hearing from me again, hopefully telling you about the positive progress I am experiencing!!
This is such a special place and I always felt cared for by everyone that works here - from my special meal requests to the guard at the gate letting me go in the sun to visit the temple when I used to sneak out, everyone seems to care.
Our world needs more places like Vaidyagrama and until that happens, I am grateful to have found you.
Thank you for your dedication to Ayurveda.

I am very pleased that I have come to Vaidyagrama for rejuvenation. My stay was pleasant. I would like to place on record, the doctors, staff for their commitment and sincerity. Their clarifications and explanations are simple and understandable. Though the treatment given to me had not much effect yet, I am confident that in the long run, it will get me cured and get steady.
I feel very fortunate to have come here and hope to make use whenever need arises. Though the temperature was warm now, it is a unique experience everyone should experience.
PS: Food served is too much. In spite of my request to reduce every day 2/3 food was wasted. Only 1/3rd I ate. Food quality is good.

Treatment was very nice and professional. I like also the cleaner and garden worker around here. I think you should pay attention to inform the patients on the day of leave of doctors. It is important in relations for a trust between patients and doctors.
Thank you very much and plenty of appreciation and love.
You bring a lot of good and love to the world.

Thank you to all the wonderful smiling faces that make this place run - from the yummy food, to caring for my room, the beautiful care of the plants and animals and overall maintenance of this place. Much gratitude for all the smiles and love along the path from stuff and patients. Every living thing is able to radiate its unique essence and allow one to find their own inner radiance and place in nature here.
Thank you to Vaidyagrama for a life of devotion, service and love. I look forward to returning and seeing all my new friends and family again. Until then.....

To everybody in Vaidyagrama,
This is my second visit. That itself says a lot about Vaidyagrama. Doctors, staff and the food make my stay as wholesome experience. Dr. Ramadas' caring as a doctor - it doesn’t seem like I was patient; more over I felt like I am his family member.
Of course the prayers in the morning and in the evening are memorable ones. Dr Ramkumar's satsangs are very educational and informative.
I felt I am very much blessed to be at Vaidyagrama. Here I feel I am spiritually energised also. I can recommend Vaidyagrama to anybody without any hesitation. I am hoping to bring my husband here next time I come. That means, I am coming back.
I am deeply touched by the amount of charitable work that Dr. Ramkumar, Ms.Geetha Mohandas and all others are doing around Vaidyagrama. This work also brings lot of positive energy into Vaidyagrama.
My best regards to each and every one at Vaidyagrama!
With best regards

Thank you so much to the Vaidyagrama for your care and support. Everything was more than what I expected.
As you believe “live simple, live well, live healthy, live happy”, staying here was a simple way to be happy. I keep thinking of my parents and friends who I really want to take here in the near future.
Thank you again to all much love and light.

I have so much gratitude for everyone who works here at Vaidyagrama.
Dr. Ramadas and his staff are always patient and helpful. I know that the people in the group that come with me, will be taken care of in body, mind, and soul. The therapists, especially Bindu, are amazing and give so much of themselves. These people who work behind the scenes, to keep VG running, are greatly appreciated. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon!

Thank you Vaidyagrama... The Doctors, Therapists, Everybody……
I am going home relaxed, rested and …Smelling flowers!!! Which is really wonderful after the 4 Years that I was not able to experience it.
It was a good stay and I even got used (a bit) to Kanji. You are a truly caring lot – this is special and unique. Thanks again
PS: My special big thank you to Devaki for taking such good care of me and solving all the little problems for me.

Many greetings!
I am writing to express my utmost gratitude for this healing space, Vaidyagrama. I felt very held and safe in this container.
Thank you to all of my doctors.... Dr. Ramadas for your pearls of wisdom and teaching stories, Dr. Krishnadas for the dose of joy and laughter, and Dr. Sajna for your presence. Many thanks to all of my therapists. Archana, Prajisha, Shanthi and especially Bindu. Bindu was with me every day for 28 days I was a container of healing and compassion and care. I am not sure what i would have done with Bindhu s healing gifts.
To everyone, seen and behind the scenes, a deep, deep bow of respect, love and gratitude. Vaidyagrama is a very special place.
Many Blessings,

This was an extraordinary experience.
I am deeply grateful to the doctors, the therapists, the teams that support (those we meet and those who lovingly cook our meals). vaidyagrama is an example of great vision being executed with care and compassion. My requests were heard and improvements were immediate, giving me confidence that this wellness centre will continue to evolve and thus provide a level of care with healing that is extremely rare in this day and age.

First, I wish to express my gratitude to the entire Vaidyagrama management and team for the excellent hospitality and care, me and my family was offered during our 3 weeks stay.
I came with problems of chronic allergy and it is now the 4th day after Virechanam that I feel free from any symptoms. I pray that I have recovered, and will follow the medication and food as advised, and hope that I will be free from this 25 years long ailment for life.
I am grateful to the team of doctors, therapists and other staff. Of particular mention is Dr Harikrishnan whose wisdom and guidance helped me out of this chronic problem. Thanks to the entire team for putting up with us and for being so helpful in every respect that made us feel like home away from home.
It was very enjoyable, and despite the hot weather, 3 weeks seem to have passed without realising that we have come to the end of our stay here.
Team Vaidyagrama - keep up the quality work you all so diligently accomplish to help people Heal Naturally.
We will be back!
Thanks a million,

I have been to many so called healing places, but all end up being either a spa or a weight reducing exercise. I was very sceptical when I was planning and the first thing I told Dr Harikrishnan that I did not want to lose weight. Having spent 21 days here I can confirm that Vaidyagrama offers most authentic Ayurveda treatment and with their holistic approach they are capable of dealing with incurable diseases also.
My experience has been excellent. Dr. Harikrishnan has been outstanding with every day care and holistic approach to what my body really needed. Dr. Aruna, Dr. Krishnadas, Dr. Shivajyothi have been very good support.
All staff, from kitchen and to therapists, cleaners, were nice and gentle. I strongly recommend people to visit Vaidyagrama once a year to cleanse their system for living a better life.

My message to all at Vaidyagrama!
Dear All,
When you look at the bigger picture I found everything in Vaidyagrama amazing and unique in approach. Remaining smaller details will evolve as time passes.
I found that everyone here makes sure that patients are taken care of well. All of the therapists and other care takers work hard to make us feel good and at home.
My Dr. Harikrishnan has spent time explaining the importance of spirituality during the healing process. All the doctors Dr. Kesari, Dr. Athulya, Dr. Aruna have excellent bedside manners.
One person in particular, Dr. Ramkumar, has given insight about life and how important it is to let go. He is a powerhouse of knowledge and charisma.
I loved Vaidyagrama philosophy. It has touched my core. Vaidyagrama is in my soul now.
See you all in October.
Love,

Dear Vaidyagrama ,
Thank you for making my 18 day stay in Vaidyagrama a decent and pleasant experience.
I would like to thank all the doctors, therapists, housekeeping staff, the gardeners and helpful reception and admin staff, for their dedication and sincerity in which they handled my treatment as well as making the environment pleasant.
The philosophy of bringing spirituality into the healing process is much appreciated. The various Satsangs conducted by doctors were very useful as well as enlightening, explaining how body which the basis of our live functions to alert us of the potential harm we are creating when we are not following the basic principles of food habits, exercise and rest, and most of all a positive attitude with a 'balanced mind'.
I would also like to suggest the following areas of improvement,
1. Reorganise the library such that the book can be easily found.
2. The kitchen pots which have been used for evening food preparation be cleaned and kept away the same night.
3. Train the young therapists so that they will continue their education beyond the school in which they have been trained.
I wish Vaidyagrama all the best in their serious approach to healing process as well as bringing awareness about body.
Thank you!

Dear Vaidyagrama,
My heartfelt thanks to all doctors, therapists, and all other support staff at Vaidyagrama. What can I say after this 21 days of soul searching experience here!
As I am gnawing at my pen wondering how I could thank all the people here enough for all dedication, care and service showered up on me during my stay here, I hear the buzzes of our dearest friends who without fail kept us company from sunset to sun rise, I mean the mosquitos.
Came here expecting this place to be just like any other hospitals that I have been to. Nevertheless, I was so wrong!
The satsangs, the morning and evening pujas and the sight of Swami Guru Priya Ananda,(the wondering monk in saffron) made me feel like I was at an ashram and completely forgot that this was a hospital.
A special thanks to Dr. Ram Kumar for his satsangs and a very special thanks to Dr. Ramanandan for appearing at the door 7.30 AM - 7.40AM, he comes around to check on my progress, Needless to say, I had to force myself out of bed early, not to be caught sleeping by him!
So, thank you everyone@ Vaidyagrama. God bless all of you for your great services and take care everyone.
You will always be remembered!
Humble Pranams!

Vaidyagrama is a vision for the future of health that is built on the steadfast integrity of the ancient principles of Ayurveda and the spirit of right living. The excellent care from the doctors and the entire staff creates an atmosphere of safety and trust, where one can let go and relax.
The Satsangs were great and indispensable for understanding the process; as we went through it a wonderful camaraderie between the patients also developed. Prayers were the Alchemy.
Admittedly, I had moments of frustration and some doubt, and felt unclear of the choice being made. I feel that more time could have been given to explaining what was going to happen and why. That said, when I ask the right questions they were answered with excellent clarity. Special thanks to Dr. Aruna Ji and Dr. Ram Kumar for that.
Vaidyagrama is a blessed place! I believe in your work for the future of the health and humanity. From my heart thank you for your unwavering care, love and clear attention.
With love and pranams,

Thank you very much for your kindness, hospitality and for making our stay very enriching. The entire campus is beautiful and serene. Every person has been polite, thoughtful and always wanting to help and serve.
The treatment has been a wonderful experience and after many years, I didn't have a single moment when I felt heavy in stomach. The food was natural and also tastefully prepared.
We are particularly impressed with your activities to support an orphanage, old people in the surrounding villages and build a beautiful self-sustaining village based on Ayurvedic principles.
We wish Vaidyagrama the very best and look forward to coming here again.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
It was a wonderful experience staying here for 21 days. The place is really beautiful with the pathways connecting all the blocks. We have learned a lot about the lifestyle, food etc after coming to Vaidyagrama, which we would implement after going back home. It was a total different experience to get treated, learn about body constitution, herbs, food and many other things. We did not miss a single Satsang since arrival.
It was difficult initially to stay without TV, AC, internet in room. After a couple of days, we felt good to give ourselves rest during treatment and stay without social media, internet full day, work etc.
The only suggestion from our side is to do something for the flies, bugs etc, as it may give stress to few patients like me.
Thank you!

I am sitting here staring at the box of medicines I am taking home with me. I am leaving yet, I am taking a whole check of Vaidyagrama with me.
I have been with you all for a month. It’s mainly been a joyful time, yet a little frustration crept in, which I couldn’t quite overcome cos of the language barrier to explain my needs! Despite that, you all did your best to get me back and made end out of the pain, for which I thank you!
I am grateful for the loving care of doctors, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Anupama, and Dr. Sivajyothi. Dr. Ram especially for his kindness and thoughtfulness.
Vaidyagrama is a very special place for sure, and there are some exceptional people here to attend we all. The smiling and very sweet therapists and the expert hands of Devaki.
I am sad to leave, yet happy to go back to the world with none, to be with my family again.
And these medicines that sit before me will be a daily reminder of you all.
Thank you for everything!

The time passed as fast as I healed here; not only my body. You all create here a very special surrounding and the feeling of protection and goodness. Thanks so much for your healing prayers and your explanations about this, Dr. Ramadas. It is not only the body, but you have to maintain the body and follow that.
I will hopefully send you my daughter next year to get healed.

Vaidyagrama has been a good experience for us. All the doctors and therapists and other staff also supported very nicely.
We are feeling like a new family together. The treatment was very good. Before I came to Vaidyagrama I felt like very tired and had leg pain also. After the treatments I felt very strong in my mind and body as well. So, I recommend to all the ill people to cure your problems and rejuvenate their body and mind here.
Once for all, it is a very good experience; not only for me but for my family also. They also liked this place very much. So, we are wholeheartedly satisfied.
God bless you all!

Vaidyagrama is the very epitome of a relaxed, stress- free environment! I wasn’t quite sure what I would experience here…and was pleasantly surprised.
Vaidyagrama is clean, green, well-organised and most things happen like clockwork. The doctors, therapists and staff are wonderful. I will definitely recommend it highly to friends and relatives.
The only two things I felt could do with some improvement was the food and language barriers. I felt that due to the limitations on the food could have been presented through different recipes. Secondly the staff here are very wonderful, but it is hard to communicate with some of them. A basic training in English could help, especially with international patients.
Other than that, I truly enjoyed being at Vaidyagrama.
All the best!

Dear vaidyagrama team,
I thank each one of you that work here especially those behind the scenes to make this beautiful Vision of yours work.
I have met some of the best doctors and people here. I love the attention and care that I received here during my panchakarma. I felt truly looked after and nurtured. This panchakarma treatment, with all its challenges, has been a very transformative experience for my body, mind and spirit. I have learnt so much and I am deeply thankful for that.
I know that I will be back and will be bringing more of my friends and family with me so that they too can understand and experience the beauty of ayurveda. It is also such an amazing thing to see ayurveda being preserved and practised in its authentic from here. Finally I have to say that I may be leaving with much more wisdom, understanding and peace that I came here with.
Am always in gratitude.
See you soon.
Love, peace, light

This was my first visit to Vaidyagrama and I already want to return. I have had a wonderful experience! The therapists are amazing, particularly Prajisha and Shyni. They did a fantastic job and I always felt well looked after.
My symptoms have all improved a lot since being here, it is a very restful healing environment. The Doctors are great, I felt listened to and taken care of by them. I am so grateful to have had this experience and hope I can come back one day.
I really liked the food! So different to my normal diet, so I was always happy with it.
My only negative comment would be sometimes the drains smelled really bad- I am not sure if anything can be done about this, but it could be quite off putting sometimes. But this is a minor thing – otherwise I have been totally happy with everything.
Thank you to everyone at Vaidyagrama for such a beautiful month.

It is an experience and I really enjoyed staying in Vaidyagrama. I have never seen my sugar level so low as 4.6 first day, followed by 6.6 next day after having very good sleep at night.
Clean environment, melodious songs from birds and facilities heal our mind, body and spirit. Trained staff, good hospitality at Vaidyagrama and am greatly benefited.
Thank you Dr. Ramadas and colleagues for your great care at the facility.

We have been coming to Vaidyagrama for the last ten years or so. This time our stay is short because of our other travel plans. I came with minor aches and pains but in five to six days I have recovered and I feel fit. The therapists are well trained and experienced and do a wonderful job. The treatment is given under the supervision of senior doctors, the staff who serve the food and medicines are also trained well and they don’t make any mistakes. The food has also improved considerably and there is no way one can complain.
Even though our stay was short, it has been a wonderful experience. We look forward to coming here for a longer stay shortly.

Beautiful place with beautiful people. Had a wonderful experience right from the early morning kashayam to the treatments until the last meal. The doctors are very patient and the therapists are skilled. The staff serving food and medicine are very prompt. Always smiling and doing all they can to make the stay and treatment comfortable. I recommended this place/ will recommend to every one looking to rejuvenate their bodies and minds, people having some issues on for general wellbeing. Had a wonderful stay and going back enriched; this place and people helped me heal.

Surroundings - When I entered Vaidyagrama the beautiful trees and plants gave me a warm welcome I didn't feel like a patient; I thought I have come for a holiday!
Doctors were Dr. Ramdas and Dr. Hari Kumar and the junior doctor Harikesh all are wonderful doctors, who took great care of their patients. Dr. HariKumar is a gentle and very caring and devoted. Dr. Ramdas, he is a god given gift to Vaidyagrama with his medical and spiritual knowledge patients are greatly benefited.
Therapists all are very well trained; patients feel comfortable and at ease with them in the treatment room.
Food- It is a very time conscious supply round the clock! These 21 days, not once it got delayed; it was steaming hot and quite tasty… it is very well organised.
Prayers- The morning and evening prayers give so much of peace and happiness to the patients; with that positive energy, half the sickness is vanished.
Satsang- is very useful and Saturday get together Dinners are enjoyable.
Rooms- any small complaint also is registered and immediately attended to; very good maintenance; the staff cleans the room well and they are well trained.
On the whole, the patients when they leave after the treatment, they are healthy both in body as well as in mind too.
With all my heart I wish this very well-run organisation a great success always in their wonderful service to the people!
As a plant lover I have a suggestion regarding the garden – If the trees and shrubs are planted in a little more organised manner, the garden will look all the more better and beautiful.

I have been a rheumatoid arthritis patient for the past 6 years walking with lots of pain in the joints and mentally fed up and depressed. It was my daily routine to warm up and the walk will take 2 hours; energy level was very low; could walk only with the help of a Walker; my feet numb; fingers bend; and the skin got black and patchy because of poor circulation problems aggravated my discomfort and pain.
I walked into Vaidyagrama with not much hope, and mind felt fear and anxiety; so the doctors explained and got rid of fear, gave a lot of encouragement and hope, and made me see the correct way.
I have undergone treatment for the last 15 days; I cannot myself believe of the changes that have happened to me. No more pains and aches on waking; sound sleep at night; no constipation; treatment has done a world of good for me. I feel refreshed and happy; black patches have almost disappeared; with improved circulation I can walk now without the Walker.
My mind is full of care, my family is also happy for me. I can only say that God should bless all the doctors and staff with his choicest blessings. I am deeply grateful to all, and wish them all the very best.

After a sound sleep, waking up to hear the delightful chatter of birds and feast for my eyes on the various shades of Green Leaves and colourful flowers, and breathing in the clean air, is such a happy experience and a wonderful way to start the day!
The treatment, bath are so soothing and luxurious. The staff are well trained and they do their work so carefully and with care. After having home food, getting used to bland takes a day or two; the vegs are so fresh and tasty.
The first change that I noticed with my body is that at home, on waking up there used to be a slimy coating on the gums, which needed brushing and cleaning the teeth. Here I am surprised to find my mouth so clear and fresh that I forgot to brush at times. Day by day all the pain and weariness disappear. The skin which was so dry got a smooth and fresh texture, the bath leaves me quite well and makes me want to sleep again.
Doctors are prompt in their assistance and care. The staff are always with a smile and so polite. Satsang, prayers and group dinners are enjoyable. The rooms are well furnished. This place is a rest heaven.
The introduction papers have such a light and small writing, and it gets difficult for senior citizens to read – so please make them in bold and bigger font. You could also add elementary basics of Ayurveda, and a small description of the various stages of preparation etc. Patients have a lot of time in between, so light, useful reading would be welcome.
I thank everyone here for making my stay a very happy.

Vaidyagrama has been a very good experience. I was looked after by Dr. Ramanandan and Dr.Kesari. Both were extremely meticulous and good listeners. They have given me treatment, which I hope to continue in Mumbai to improve my health. The lady staff who did our treatment were very good and helpful.
The only downside was the food. We were being served food repetitively for most meals. We requested for a change though.
I am giving this as a positive criticism to a place, which is otherwise very well run.

Namaskar!
I have learnt here the importance and the need to take care of myself...Both body and soul, as it is the connection necessary to be able to be healed and this teaching came through all the care. I have been given details of the life here and how to live, as I can reapply on my body, at this "healing village" where all the work coming with compassion for Mother Nature and its children. It is given the healers themselves in the prayers and Satsangs, to make sense of the meaning of the pulse / the heart of the loving Nature.
In its practical sense, it means giving an invitation to prepare, look, understand Ayurveda gestures to accomplish this caring for one self and the Self.
I am very grateful that I was introduced to the level of quality of Vision.
Bravo! ...and thank you to the team of "healing village".

I came to Vaidyagrama with some trepidation. While my friends Rajasree had recommended it lightly. I wasn’t sure what to expect.
My experience has been more than I had anticipated... the green, quiet, clean and friendly atmosphere made me relax almost immediately. Dr.Ramanandan, Dr.Kesari and Dr.Athulya have been super patient and understanding. Your intuitiveness amazes me, Dr. Ramanandan.
My therapists Vaishnavi and Lavanya were good and I was amazed at the punctuality with which the various patients would arrive. I go away feeling rested and calm. I also know that 10 days is not enough to feel the full benefits of the cleansing. I know I will be back.

Dear Vaidyagrama
Thanks for everything that I got here, the care, love and attention. It was another great experience for me, second time in 3 years.
Apart from the therapy and medicines, the secure atmosphere calms down your mind. I must mention the satsang. The insights and knowledge we get here will go a long way in our lives.
I am especially thankful to Dr. Harikrishnan and therapists.
Thanks,

How blessed am I? First I came as a student for one month course, then unexpectedly a change of plan occurred and I stayed on as a patient. During the almost two month stay, I have fallen in love with this place, the people, the weather, the food, the plants, the clouds in the sky, the raindrops and the snails.
This was my first time visiting India, yet I felt like coming home. In two days am leaving with my take-home medicines, and I know I will miss everyone, I will miss the warm or shy, smiles, and the genuine 'how are you?'; the mosquito, the smoke-cart man, the garden cleaning women, the office people, the pharmacy people, the therapists, the doctors, the children, everyone.
Where the heart is- that is home, and my heart embraces Vaidyagrama, here I feel home.
Am so grateful, so humbled, so happy, to have come home. Thank you everyone, now I feel like part of a huge family! All and one, one and all, no separation only connection.
With love,

Dear Vaidyagrama team
What a wonderful experience this has been, though I admit that I did come with some scepticism. This is truly utopia for us who were tired in body and mind. You have truly worked wonders with me....I go back feeling totally rejuvenated and clear headed.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr.HariKrishnan, Dr.Aruna, Dr.Krishnadas and Dr.SivaJyothi you have shown tremendous patience, care and affection. I shall miss you all! Also a special thanks to my therapist Vidya, Shiny and Athira who were just lovely and ready to assist anytime.
Prayer time was made truly special by Dr.Ramadas. My constant questions to Dr Ramkumar were always attended with the large dose of humour.
Thank you Preeti for your delicious recipes, which I shall definitely make, and thus remember you all in vaidyagrama family.
This was my first visit, but will definitely not be my last.
With much love and appreciation,
Namaskar!

I am glad that I took Dr Kalpana Sampath's suggestion and came here to Vaidyagrama.
Ayurveda treatments are not new to us. But this place is a totally different experience. I was very apprehensive to try some of the treatments for my daughter due to her complex medical condition.
Dr.Ramanandan made us more comfortable and answered all my questions patiently, thoroughly with diligence. He is an amazing doctor, kind and a wonderful human being blessed with a lot of goodness. Thank you Dr. Ramanandan for all your expertise.
Dr.Anupama's services should also be acknowledged. She is very thorough and was a big support throughout this 21 days stay. Her patience in answering all my questions, irrespective of treatments/ medication and caring attitude is very much appreciated. Thank you Dr.Anupama, Samiksha/ Sami will always smile at your pictures.
The therapists Reshma, Shyni, Sindhu, Mrudula, and Mythili all dressed with a healing touch. Sakthi is an angel and big thanks to her for patience and for keeping their place super clean and tidy.
Mythili made sure we got all our kashayam and other medicines from dawn to dusk on time. Special thank you for Mythili, her system is so organized.
The satsangs with Dr.Ramadas and Dr. Ramanandan were eye openers, and all the presentations have made me to make a better choice and look at things in a different perspective and make some healthy choice.
Dr. Ramadas' chanting were so soulful and we will miss that so much. Dr. Ramanandan is not only a super doctor, but a singer too. I will miss hearing those songs/ singings.
Lastly, the whole place is so beautiful, lush green and waking up to the sounds of birds chirping and the beautiful trees and plants are real heaven.
Everybody helped whenever needed. The girls at the reception Aruna, Jency and Sonia are awesome and friendly....
I would definitely visit next year!

When I ventured to come alone to Coimbatore, I had lot of apprehensions about the place, stay, the treatment and the food.
Enter Vaidyagrama; smiling reception staff with a welcome drink, cuckoo and music, chirping of birds, green everywhere, amazing atmosphere, no vehicle sounds, no vendors... O My God, this is heaven...
I have heard about VIP treatment, actually I got it here!
Dr.Ramanandan, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Athulya, Dr. Kesari for 21 days I was in safe hands of divine healing. Dr.Anupama was an angel. Thanks to Aparna for answering all my silly questions. Therapists- Mythili, Reshma, Sindhu- A big thank you to all. Shakti was solely responsible for the tidying and clean up keep of my room.
What to say about Dr. Ramanandan...He could have been a political leader- Always smiling, making fun, taking pulse, testing my eyes and tongue, writing report, and going about his work silently and diligently.
Dr Ramadas, I can never forget his metallic voice. Nobody missed the prayers when he chanted.
I came here for detox and cleansing, also to regulate the sugar level.
Definitely, now I am energetic and feel lighter. Of course I will have to continue the food habit I was taught here. This is really a good experience. I wish to come here again, but for the kanji in breakfast. I will miss Vaidyagrama!

Vaidyagrama has been an oasis of peace, attention and with an amazing understanding of a patient's medical woes.
Dr.Ramadas and all the other doctors have shown great patience and comprehension of what ails a person; they have guidance and medicines to help in one’s recovery. The lectures have given us an insight in to the world of Ayurveda. This has been very special experience of how we should be living our lives and looking after our bodies and minds.
Am truly looking forward to my next trip here, thanks a lot for helping me out in this wonderful journey!

This is our second visit to Vaidyagrama. We had come for the first time in 2014 and from then on, we see tremendous growth in the centre. It is very heartening to see the passion, dedication and commitment in the staff, therapists and doctors.
We are surprised to see the care with which the management takes care of its employees, from a crèche to so many benefits for them which not many multinational companies provide for their employees.
We came in this time with specific treatment for our leg problem due to diabetes. After 20 days of treatment, we are setting back with much improvement and a better and rejuvenated mind and spirit.
Thanks to our classmate Dr J M Sampath who referred this place; to Dr. Ramkumar and Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Krishnadas.

A big thanks to Dr Ramanandan for being so patient with me and for answering my questions. You are an amazing doctor and human being. Many thanks to Dr Kesari, Dr Athulya for always being there.
My therapists Vaishnavi, Lavanya, Mrudula and Lakshmi, your healing touch will be missed.
Thank you to all the people who cleaned my room and everyone involved in giving nourishing food. Lastly all the Vaidyagrama people who I did not meet, but are a big part of to my stay.
I will miss Dr Ramkumar's Sat sang, Dr.Ramadas' prayer and chanting.
I go back healed and a transformed person. And would like to come back again. Vaidyagrama, you will be missed!

Beautiful place to heal, in sync with Nature and its rhythms. Amazing doctors especially Dr.Ramanandan, Dr Kesari and Dr Athulya with their constant personal attention, support and encouragement.
From kashayam to the last bedtime medication - all was very well organised and with attention given to detail.
Very skilled and warm therapist especially Shyni. Going back healed, rejuvenated mentally and physically.
The prayers with Dr. Ramadas, Satsangs with Dr Ramkumar and chats with Aparna were the added bonus.
Thank you!

This is Dr Lajja Shastri. I am quite glad that I opted to visit Vaidyagrama for treatment of my skin allergies. My doctors- Dr Ramananadan, Dr Kesari and Dr Athulya were everything that one would want their doctors to be – attentive, thorough and diligent in their practice. What makes their behaviour special, is their compassion for patients and I am very grateful for that.
My stay of 18days was tougher than I expected since I had no experience of Ayurveda treatment. The treatment was made bearable due to the constant support of the doctors.
The only thing that I perceive as a weak link is the food. I understand that it is a hospital and I am a patient, but there is a lot that can be done to make the food more palatable for the patients.
It is certainly difficult to sustain on the completely tasteless kanji for 10 days. I would humbly request someone to make an effort to provide a more edible food, even if we have to be restricted with the ingredients during treatments.
I hope to see myself cured of my ailments at the end of next 3 months. But I certainly will remember vaidyagrama very fondly.... especially my therapist Shyni, my doctors, Aparna and the satangs with Dr Ramkumar and Dr Ramanandan... thanks to everyone!

On a different note you have maintained this place well, and food is so delicious.
The Satsang by doctors is very nice place to be in the day, and discussions about their experience is extremely helpful.
Thank you so much for making a big change in our lives. We look forward to seeing you all at Vaidyagrama again.

It has been a wonderful experience at Vaidyagrama. Under the treatment of Dr Harikrishnan and his able team, the tough days too went by smoothly.
Thanks to Dr. Aruna and Dr. Sivajyothi and their comforting words, I have had a good stay.
The team of therapists too were wonderful and caring. Vaidyagrama is truly living by the term, Back to Nature.
The satsangs were very informative and a good place to exchange our ideas and anxieties.
The housekeeping staff and front office too has friendly people always ready to help.
Thank you for the soul satisfying experience!

I came to Vaidyagrama for a very short period of time. The purpose was rest and relaxation, and a break from the busy, chaotic big city life.
I enjoyed the simplicity of life at Vaidyagrama, and it brought to fore the abuse we subject our bodies to, in our everyday lives in the outside world. It’s hard to make a drastic change, but I am hoping to make little changes to start with.
The peace and quiet at Vaidyagrama make it immensely amenable to reflection. I have had a relaxing time and am returning rejuvenated.
The doctors were attentive and the staff and therapists were helpful and efficient.
Thank you for a very efficient experience!

Vaidyagrama... The temple of body and soul.
As we keep sinking deeper and deeper in the Whirlpool of the Ultra-modern world of technology, our mind gets corrupted and does things affecting health and emotions.
Vaidyagrama is like a healing balm that helps you to reconnect with the nature.
We learn the simple ways of healthy living through food for body and spiritual minds.
We are absolutely grateful to Dr Ramkumar, Dr Harikrishnan and all other doctors who are tirelessly involved in preserving the age-old Ayurveda way of living.
Our gratitude to the therapists and all the staff members for taking such good care.
Always smiling and ready to lend a helping hand. We will of course miss the delicious Kanji (ha ha ha) back home! But on a serious note, it will always be our pleasure to come back again and again.

All factors favourable for the healing of a person are taken care of very well in Vaidyagrama- Comfortable and hygienic rooms, healthy food, caring Doctors, dedicated therapists, pleasant staff, natural and unpolluted environment and the touch of Divinity.
As a Swami, felt I was living in an Ashram. Perhaps visiting hours of Doctors can be fixed for patients.
May Vaidyagrama serve more and more people!

Dear Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Sajna, Dr. Radhika, Bindu, Preeti, Aparna, everyone at Vaidyagrama and Dr. Ramkumar, dear birds, trees, flowers, cats, snails, butterflies, frogs, winds, rains and sun.
You have all helped me to initiate a journey that was long to come and much needed. And I am deeply grateful for your guidance and love. And I carry this with me as I leave. I have deeply enjoyed every aspect of Vaidyagrama...from the wind that whistled past the trees outside my verandah on the first day - my chest seemed to open up to its tune - to the delightful smile and serenity that pervade each member of the team, so soothing to receive.
The treatments, the food, the prayers, the Yoga and satsangs have provided an invaluable frame to enter into a paradise that I now know will heal and strengthen me as life proceeds. I now awake each morning with the rhythms and words of the prayers dancing in my mind, even before the bell starts to ring!! I cherish this and thank all the doctors who have lead the prayers.
The yoga sessions have been wonderful too!! And the Satsangs, a deep source of understanding. Dr. Ramkumar’s baritone voice echoes too inside me. I am also grateful to all the wonderful fellow guests here - who welcomed me warmly to the community. I have learnt something from each one and thank them all sincerely!
I now carry vaidyagrama’s spirit with me and I am sure to return. In the meantime I send my love to each and every one I have met here.

I came at a time, when my health was not at its best. The beautiful, serene environment of Vaidyagrama, constant care of my therapists, doctors and everyone here have helped me tremendously and I am heading back in a new avatar.
I will miss the conversations with Dr. Ramadas, true diagnosis of Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Sajna, the loving care of Bindu, the trees, my balcony, delicious Dosas (many) that Preeti prepared for me, so that I don’t miss eating the Roti. All of it that has taken my heart.
I hope to come back really soon and hope to follow all what Vaidyagrama has taught me and I hope not to disappoint Dr. Ramadas by doing regular mischief in my food habits. Happy healing!

I arrived here to join my daughter in this healing Ayurveda Centre. Focusing on making the most in this "Retreat", away from the stressful lifestyle for 10 days. But I quickly requested to stay/to lengthen my visit to the 3 weeks necessary for getting a valid diagnosis of my Dosha evaluation.
I was stunned by this little community/ family of staff members, forever checking on me, attending to my needs. The atmosphere spells forward light, harmony and happiness of a "home".
Being avid to educate myself on "Ayurveda", I attended the informal Satsangs, where residents are given the chance to share their experiences, and their personal issues, which were the subjects of talks from masters, Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Harikumar, and the lady speakers of the day. Forever grateful to my doctors Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Kesari, and the ever-present Dr. Anupama.

I am coming back in November for a complete 3 weeks treatment. I loved everything about this place. I wish I knew about this place much before. Thanks to Dr. Ramkumar, I am here in Vaidyagrama.
I was taken very good care for these 4 days. Looking forward to come again. I hope to bring my family too, for a complete mind and body rejuvenation.

Also, I would like to thank to Dr. Ramkumar and whoever behind this wonderful idea and concept, very carefully managing and co-operating working together.
Since I am here during treatment I have met many people from different countries, sharing their experience regarding improvement, during stay in Vaidyagrama.
Also, I would like to say thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Sivajothi for their care on me.
I wish I would not come to Vaidyagrama again for treatment, but just to get the good vibration, atmosphere.
I wish to all Vaidyagrama village people, much love and peace.
Also, I wish Vaidyagrama could do this service for many years.

It was truly exceptional experience to be here and relearn many things about Ayurveda and the Indian system of healing. Vaidyagrama truly is one of the most sincere and genuine centres of healing and I deeply admire the integrity of the place itself and of every member that’s a part of this beautiful community and made this place what it is. I am so grateful to Dr Ramadas for his exceptional spirit and energy and being like a generous father when giving advice and leading by example with his discipline. I am also truly grateful to all the therapists and Dr. Radhika for being so present, gentle and sweet.
I am so grateful that I have finally crossed paths with a community that dwells in wisdom of true and genuine Ayurveda and share its gems so generously.
I can’t wait to the back for a much longer stay with my family and heal together with them.
Lots of love ,

Leaving the family and your home behind is never easy. But somehow Vaidyagrama made it less difficult. Caring doctors, welcoming staff, friendly patients, nature’s beauty, inspiring talks and prayers every morning and evening. Definitely filled my heart during my stay.
I would like to thank everyone who made my stay so enjoyable. Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Anupama, who have always been very patient and encouraging. Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Kesari and Dr. Athulya for their constant support. My very sweet therapists, Sindhu, Jayasree, Abhila, Shyni and others who are all so caring. This is my second time and I look forward to coming next year.

I am so grateful that words are not sufficient to express it. I have been waiting to come to Vaidyagrama, since I first heard about you all from a previous patient in 2012! The moment when I arrived, I cried from feeling the energy of Vaidyagrama. I knew deep healing would occur here. And it did, thanks to the incredible and gracious staff here. The environment itself holds you in its deep intent to honour nature, to honour Ayurveda, and to honour holding space for the body to heal itself.
I am forever changed by this experience, I already know. Thank you, thank you thank you to everyone... Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Harikesh, Dr. Radhika, Dr. Sajna for working with me with intense care and support. To my therapists Bindu, Nithya, Nimmy and to Preeti and the kitchen staff and everyone else whose names escape me... Oh,Aparna!!

Last time I came for 10 days, but I regretted it later that I should have completed my 3 weeks treatments. And here I am again for 21 days. We (my family) you are searching for a authentic Ayurveda place and finally we found one.
I am very impressed by the whole team of Vaidyagrama. It is perfect. I wish all the best for the organisation and wish it remains like this forever and improve to better and better.
Thank you everybody at Vaidyagrama.

Vaidyagrama, Truly a gift.
Thank you for sharing your Vision, knowledge, service and community with the world.
My first Panchakarma experience was a blessing. I return home with their rested mind, improved digestion and more confidence to move forward in life with an open heart.
Unlike so many others, I loved the food! Simple, yet tasteful. I spent time observing and documenting so many insects and birds for my children. The silence here only magnifies the many sounds of birds, crickets and frogs, the wind rustling the greens, the distant "moo" of a cow. I shall miss the ringing of the Bells and beautiful songs of devotion heard throughout the day, as well as the library.. All so good! The community of people (doctors, therapists, back office, reception, ground keepers and housekeeping) keeping Vaidyagrama running are skilled and professional. Bright eyed and wide smiles, day in and day out...
May I be so fortunate to return, again some day!
With gratitude and great regards,

I came to Vaidyagrama with an open mind and positively focus in order to break from the reliance on Western medicine for my chronic condition with ongoing debilitating symptoms, which have been haunting me for years.
Though initially, a bit apprehensive about outcome and benefits from a 3 week treatment course, I came to the understanding and acceptance that the body has received the required preparation for healing to start.
So I go home tomorrow and remain hopeful that I can experience some improvements whilst maintaining the treatment regimen.
On reflection, may be the poor and erratic sleep during my stay has been a hindrance in the treatment process and hence not enabling a smooth path to recovery. But I am even so grateful to the doctors (Dr. Ramanand, Dr. Kesari & Dr. Athulya), the therapists ( Santosh, Arun & Zainudheen) as well as the other support staff ( Shyni, Prajeesha & Devi) for the full care and attention given throughout and ensuring a pleasurable stay.
Also my appreciation goes to Dr. Ramadas for the Satsangs and prayer sessions. Not to forget Siva and Yoganidra.
I have enjoyed Vaidyagrama for being a calm, serene and therapeutic environment set up to promote healing and healthy living through real Ayurveda practices.
Well done to the Vaidyagrama Team and keep up the splendid work.
Many Thanks again and Best Regards,

Vaidyagrama is synonymous to healing grama. It enfolds healing in layers. From the day I arrived, I experienced it each time.
Doctors at VG make it seem simple indeed, with their healing touch which is an assurance each morning.
I was apprehensive of myself before my stay here about my condition. This journey has given me an insight into my condition and the belief in healing.
Everything here is meticulously planned and executed with utmost sincerity and most importantly care!
The staff, all departments are sensitive to the condition of the patient and conduct themselves very well.
Therapists have an immense power of healing with each step and there is a lot in their hands.
Prayers and satsangs empowered me with spiritual awakening and Ayurveda awareness.
The space at VG is symbolic of Ayurveda heritage, I must say.
It provides with ample space and time. It helped me in taking my first step towards the journey of life which I had lost.
I found myself here, initially I was lost though.
Doctors helped me through this journey, answering my questions, listening patiently to all the questions... just like how a parent would listen to the child and without interrupting the question flow or thought flow of the child, and like a compassionate parent answering, guiding through life lessons.
Thank you so much for your patient listening. It matters so much.
A special mention about food here is must, it is nourishing not just the body it is so to the mind and soul.

Most peaceful, drink, eat and bathe medicines besides therapy which works wonders. We are at peace with oneself and very happy as going pain free. Will miss all the people of Vaidyagrama who are so disciplined, spiritual and committed. May God bless all of them. Thanks to Mr. S.K. Mohanka who sent us here and to Dr. Harikrishnan to treat us like his own kids and caution us timely. All the doctors and staff is caring like our family.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
It's been a pleasure to be here in this Eden of peace and serenity.
The care and love of the therapists Lakshmi who gives her treatments like she does her prayers in happiness, for Shalini and Deekshita are very caring and sweet girls.
For the doctors, their seriousness and their dedication on the all-day check-ups but as well on the Satsangs during which I learnt so much.
My forever thank you!
All my prayers and positive thoughts with always include you! I feel rejuvenated and in such better health. My spirits have lifted and I feel life starting a new chapter in my life.
And I should have mentioned the lovely people working for our comfort, cooks, cleaners and gardeners were lovely and knowledgeable Preeti too. Thanks to everyone in Vaidyagrama!

Returning to the green oasis of warm and friendly smiles, natural surroundings and reassuring doctors, one feels welcomed again to the healing village - Vaidyagrama!
Thank you to the entire Vaidyagrama team for making my stay so positive, but a special thanks to Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar and Dr. Radhika. My therapists Geethu, Kalpana and Indu, and of course the beacon of light – Dr. Ramkumar with his excellent satsangs, clarifying complex issues with ease and simplicity.
Leaving Vaidyagrama more positive, calm, cheerful, and lighter in more ways than one.
Best wishes to the family of Vaidyagrama!

I have been a regular at Vaidyagrama for the past three years. My symptoms of inflammation have reduced greatly. The goal of my stay here at Vaidyagrama was to feel better than when I come in, and I did.
Vaidyagrama is a place that heals the body and mind. I feel blessed to be treated with care and respect by all the staff. Their smiling face put a smile on mine every day.
Therapist Lakshmi was like a second mother to me. Devaki, Shalini and Deekshita were lovely.
Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Aruna, Dr. Sivajyothi and Dr. Mini took turns checking on me to make sure everything was fine.
Too many to name, and all were fantastic. Thanks to each and every one for making my stay as pleasant.
Look forward to coming again.

This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama although we heard of the place for many years now. I would describe it as a little heaven in the midst of kilometres of farm somewhere near Kerala.
As I came in the monsoon season, it has been raining a lot but the place and nurturing environment is such that they became our daily blue sky (from my mother who joined me and my self). I haven’t slept so well for 4 years now, I have been happily surprised with the food that I have loved, the kashayams and the treatments.
The whole team, the doctors, and therapists, the housekeeping (that we directly encountered) was amazing. And all those we met that were accomplishing different tasks (reception, fumigation, other staff) are equally gentle, smiling souls that make you felt being blessed in being in such a peaceful and wonderful place to heal.
Thank you Dr. Ramanandan for all your care and thank you also specially Dr. Anupama for checking on me all the times.

Vaidyagrama, a beautiful oasis, surrounded by field and coconut grove. It is a very peaceful place.
The living quarters are spacious with beautiful balcony nestled amongst trees. One wakes up with the sound of birds chirping. All the doctors Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Kesari were super. Dr. Ramanandan with his quiet efficiency gave us lots of confidence. Dr.Kesari is caring and helpful, and we enjoyed Dr. Ramadas' sense of humour.
We are leaving the clinic in better health than we came.

Vaidyagrama is a place like no other. When I first heard about it 2 weeks ago I was not really sure what I was getting into (my mum kept talking about this place); however, the day I got here, I was surprised by how kind and sweet everyone was? I felt a sense of homeliness and I am glad we came here.
Vaidyagrama is one of the best places to come for any kind of treatment. It's all good quality and very hygienic. The medicines don't have side effects. That's not something that's regularly seen in our world.
The treatments were excellent. All our (me and my mum) therapists and doctors were very kind to us. They always make sure we are comfortable with whatever we were doing. That meant the world to us.
The atmosphere of the place, not only treats and cures people, it also allows us, as patients to make some great friendship that I am sure will last a lifetime we truly made some great friends here.
Lastly I would like to thank a few people who really took care of us and made sure we wear fine. Firstly our doctors Dr Harikrishnan, Dr. Aruna, Dr. Sivajyothi. They were always there for us whenever be needed. All our therapist Shinymol, Athira, Vidya who pampered us like babies during the treatment and always helped us with the little things... and last but not the least, all the support staff who have been helping us and making sure everything runs smoothly.
Vaidyagrama is the best.
We hope Dr. Aruna has a safe delivery and cute baby. Thank you to Sarita aunty for making me smile little bit more each day...

I came to Vaidyagrama along with my elder brother and Bhabi for treatment of my problems faced due to stroke I had few years back, leg pain and other muscular problems. My brother and Bhabi are from USA and they joined me for their health problems.
We found the place very amazing with lush greenery and rooms very hygienic. Doctors, staff and therapists are very nice, cooperative and take utmost care of patients. We are very thankful to Dr. Kesari, Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Athulya for their care and their visit every day to sort out our health problems.
We came here on 1st July 18, for 14 days. We are leaving on 15th July with a decision to visit again next year. We will miss Dr. Ramkumar’s satsang and Dr. Ramdas’s prayer. I am feeling much better and pray to Almighty for further expansion of Vaidyagrama, with a request to please keep it up.

This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama and it is such a special place. There is so much ‘heart’ here –so much love and kindness.
I want to thank EVERYONE from the doctors to the therapists to the housekeepers to kitchen and support staff. Thank you for all the hours you put in and how much you have looked after me.
Special thanks to my doctors –Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Krishnadas, Dr. Mini (I know we only had a week together but you have been AMAZING!), Dr. Sivajyoti and Dr. Aruna (good luck with the new baby. I will be thinking of you!). Thank you for listening to me and caring.
Thank you for all the therapists - Archana and Devaki (sorry I will have spelled your names wrong!),
THANK YOU! Shenbegam- you are the BEST housekeeper, Preeti thanks for the chats and the food.
Aparna and Sonia thank you for checking up on me. And to everyone else. There are too many people!
Vaidyagrama is giving me the chance to finally heal, after so many years and when everyone else had given up on me.
I will miss you all.
Sending much love,

To everyone,
I'm going to leave tomorrow feeling more positive about everything in life. I will cherish this time especially because of Dr. Ramadas' style of doing prayer and chanting slokas, because of Dr. Ramkumar's sessions which makes me rethink many concepts intelligently, because of wonderful friends made with whom I spent hours playing chess and cards, because of hard work and affection by Indu akka, Praveena akka and Dhanya sister and other therapists and housekeeping (forgot the names), because of keeping a good eye on me by Dr. Harikesh, Dr. Radhika and Dr. Sajna who took care of me like family, because of my love for ghee, kanji and boiled veggies and because of lizards, snails and cats.
Thanks much for giving me this experience of a life time. I will try my best to follow the guidance I have received here.
With love,

Vaidyagrama is truly a special kind of a place, more like a womb that nurtures and heals. The divine presence feels very strongly here, and all the routines are authentic, rituals hold the space for subtle experience.
Infinite gratitude goes to the knowledge of ancient seers and the tradition and lineage of the teachers passing down the skills through infinity.
Special thank you to the highly experienced doctors, nurses, cooks, cleaners, maintenance and other persons that make this mechanism work like a good clock.
Everyone puts their full heart in and striving for perfection is felt in each moment in each corner of the village. Thank you for friendship and acceptance. This place is amazing!
All the best wishes for this sacred place!

Vaidyagrama is a fantastic concept. A dream is coming true of which I am witness since last 3 years. It has evolved from Good to Better to Best, and I want to witness it as Excellent. There is a good scope for improvement in the field of administration and food management.
I am sure, Vaidya Ram Kumar and other excellent Vaidyas of his team with their dedicated staff members will achieve excellence very soon and I wish them Best all the way…….

I have been to two different Ayurveda retreats in Kerala, but the experience here has been unique.
The retreat is beautifully designed and set out in a peaceful location. The lush trees and carefully nurtured garden are impressive and soothing. What sets Vaidyagrama apart from others is the authenticity of its approach to treatments. Vaidyagrama has a great Team of doctors under the capable leadership of Dr. Ramkumar, all passionate about their work. The doctors are willing to spend time with the patients in the course of their respective ailments and the Ayurveda healing process.
Satsangs in the afternoon is a great feature to broaden the understanding about Ayurveda approach to life and the healing process.
I will certainly miss Dr. Ramadas' morning and evening prayer sessions. I found it also striking how well the staff are motivated and willing to please.
All in all I very much enjoyed my stay, felt much better at the end of the treatments and will really recommend Vaidyagrama to my friends and acquaintances.

I think I am lucky to have come here, and to really know a lot of things about Ayurveda. So here, there is no "patients", bur we feel like family members.
I can feel so much love from the people's smile, from the flowers, the trees, the sunshine,
I can feel the life really, like flower bloom. Here we not only know our self-body, but can also watch connectivity in the universe, connect with breath, with consciousness from Dr’s Satsangs. So every day was wonderful time for me.
Doctors always give us the positive mind and teaches us how to aware yourself even when one is emotional. I learned I should have the love and consciousness about Earth mother, then I really felt every cell opened and permitted love to everyone.
Thank you all. Thank you doctor for giving me so many patience and love, thank you therapists who always tried for the best for me. Thanks for kitchen workers for providing me delicious and homely-taste food, thank you plants for giving me fresh air.
I think I will come back soon. To visit all of you. This huge family. I love all of you...

Coming here year after year is very stimulating, rejuvenating and a peaceful experience.
The care and concern from the doctors, therapists and all ancillary staff makes me feel totally at home. Their warmth helps in the healing process. The Satsangs with the doctors are extremely informative. Their explanations for all our questions are satisfactory and an eye opener on many fronts.
The food as bland as it is, is nourishing, wholesome, and really not as bad as some people make it out to be.
Vaidyagrama has grown since my first visit here 9 years ago, into a flourishing Ayurveda treatment facility. May it continue to heal and nourish for many, many years, all the patients who came here from all the corners of the world. Thank you Dr. Ramanandan, you are a star!!
Thank you to the entire team that looked after me.

A truly authentic experience of healing here at vaidyagrama. I felt completely at ease in the hands of Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Aruna and Dr. Sivajyothi. Such completely caring and humble people. A refreshing change from today s rushed medical advice.
I want to also say thank you to my therapist Vidya for being caring and compassionate. I am sure she will heal many people during her time here.
I will surely come back again (though I hope I don't have to).
Keep doing what you are doing.

The experience here at Vaidyagrama has been one of complete care & nurturing. Our Doctors have been very attentive, professional and approachable. All personnel have been wonderful & the positive and healing energy is palpable.
We are leaving feeling enriched by experiences we did not expect. We are a little more knowledgeable about Ayurvedic healing.
We wish the team at Vaidyagrama well in proceeding with their vision, which is a very beautiful one.

Vaidyagrama is tranquillity. Never before have we been to such a calm, peaceful, and pleasant home. Every person here wears a smile. That is perhaps the beginning of all healing. From the housekeeping staff, to the therapists to the doctors, each one carries an aura of wellness in them. In such a quiet, I have been able to listen to what I feel about me from within. Often in clutter, we fail to listen to ourselves, but coming here is a way to self-discovery. This place is beauty, tranquillity and peace. We have received a lot of love from here and we leave lots more back here. We promise to come back another time for more number of days. When life is a race, places such as Vaidyagrama seem like a finish line. We will be back soon, thank you so much for so much of care.

Since I am a practitioner of Ayurveda in Japan, teaching at a small school, I knew the importance of ayurvedic lifestyle; but by coming here and spending some quiet time mostly by myself, my body and cells learnt the real meaning of it - the regular life style, simple food, early bed time, away from stress and smart phone etc. I stayed here only for 7 days, which was not enough to eradicate my problem; however the quietness of mind which I gained here is my treasure. I feel open and serene. This Nature-friendly environment is so kind and welcoming. Thank you, the great team of doctors here. I would like to come back again.

This is my first time in Vaidyagrama and I have been so pleasantly surprised and astounded! First of all, the environment surrounded by beautiful trees and the beautiful verandah facing the trees. So beautiful is the sound of the leaves and the sounds of the birds! Never seen a place like this, which is open on all sides (corridors), full of trees. No sound pollution. Such a joy, and soothing to the soul!
All the staff and therapists are so gentle, kind and caring. Always pleasant. They take such special care of us, in the treatment room or otherwise... They are always alert. They always put food in my thali, explain what was what, and place my hand, giving me big spoon, on the thali. They pointed out where my medicine was all well. The doctors too were also so considerate and took real good care of me. All in all, it has kindness personified! A real wonderful energy and a perfect healing space! I am so blessed to have come here, and it all started with the wonderful Aparna, who promptly replied and accommodated me well despite my health crisis causing uncertainly of making the trip. Thank you Vaidyagrama. May God bless every person here!

Second time at Vaidyagrama. Like the place for a lot of reasons. Most important is the people. Their humanity, patients, smiling face and genuine attitude is commendable. This was Onam festival time.

I started my first panchakarma forty years ago and have completed four of them so far. In all these years of panchakarma in Kerala, this is by far the finest of all treatment centres. This Panchakarma is accomplished with a surgical precision not to be matched anywhere. This is such a holistic environment treating body, mind and soul. The staff from the very top to bottom are so wealthy of respect and love as they are living expressions of these qualities. A special thanks to Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Anupama (so full of joy), Aparna (A pure light) sakthi and the entire staff. I have been here for two months and look forward to returning. Also, the fellow patients are truly fascinating creating a real family.

How lucky I am to be here for a second time. So be able to heal my mind, body and spirit in this tranquil oasis is a gift.
I thank each of my doctors for their infinite patience and unparalleled care given to me. Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Kesari, Dr. Athulya always with a cheery “Hi”. The wonderful therapists who pound our bodies, so our souls can come back rest restored!
Devi, the girls at reception and in the office, the man who pushes the ‘neem fire’ cart, all with their smiles and warmth to remind us we are at VG - another remainder of the warmth of this place.
“When my conscience leads me, I land up where I ought to be. When my ego leads me, I land up where I want to be. Being able to be where I ought to be is often superior than being able to be where I want to be.

The food was the most nourished i have felt, I could feel all the love in hands who prepared it!
I feel stronger physically and spiritually, the changes were a huge shift for me.my mind is clear, calm and focused to move forward on the Ayurvedic path of knowledge.
Thanks to all my doctors who helped me with the healing process.Dr.Ramdas with his beautiful smile, big heart and nourishing energy and look forward to my visit again. Want to become more involved in the vision this healing village is crating.

Dear Vaidyagrama…
You really are that - A healing village! This was my second visit and I was so happy to bring my husband, to share this beautiful experience. From the moment we arrived, with Dr. Kesari waiting for us, until the days we were preparing to leave- nothing but love, warmth and good humor from the entire staff.
We deeply thank our doctors including Dr. Ramanandan, Dr.Athulya and Dr. Kesari for their care and my therapists Lakshmi, Kalpana, Vaishnavi, Athira for their care and dedication. And all the women who participated in my treatments. By the way- I love hearing the music they play!
Thank you also for allowing me to have a satsang and speak about my book. You all are part of my future plan! Geetha is amazing, as is Aparna, Krishna and Athira- All playing above in making our stay smooth, healing and fulfilling. I send much love to you all & Dr. Ramkumar.

I felt I had a home here and the room I was given was my own home. The doctors, therapists and staff here taken such good care of me.
I love the treatment received by Dr Harikrishnan, Dr Sivajyothi, and therapists Devaki, Deekshitha, Shalini and Lakshmi Chechi were good too.
Dr Harikrishnan and Ms Aparna were very understanding regarding the financial part too. However, if not for them, it is a little difficult to discuss it openly with the staff. More in my email.
Lots of love,

Dear Vaidyagrama family! That is really what you are: One big family that reaches beyond the VG property! It is like JM Sampath states: when life’s purpose is larger than self, life becomes a means to achieve the purpose! This is what I have experienced during my stay with everybody: not only the doctors, but also the medical staff, receptionists, housecleaning, gardeners etc.
You have a beautiful vision and you live it, really! A good example for other organizations, companies, the world. I have enjoyed the treatment- It has brought a better balance between body and mind and soul. I enjoyed the satsangs- a good means to get to know more about Ayurvedapractice of being in here and now.
I enjoyed the company with the VG staff and the fellow patients. I thank you all for the big heart you have for all living beings. And beyond those who are here.
My daughter Florina who is in another Ayurvedic place, also feels love you have for others. Thank you, thank you, for welcoming us in your family.Till we meet again.
Love,

A beautiful and wonderful healing experience for me and my family members who accompanied me. Although some of my family members only insisted on coming to assist me as I am a stroke patient, all of them went through the treatment after seeing the treatments being done. We are very satisfied with our stay at vaidyagrama. I only came after two and half years of my stroke.
There is slight improvement to my health now after the treatment. The swelling of my legs have gone and I can walk a bit better. My skin problem, psoriasis has improved tremendously.
The various activities (Satsangs) and prayers kept us occupied. The lush plants and trees with the early morning tweeting of birds gives a beautiful peaceful environment to patients/ bystanders. Thanks to all the doctors, special mention to Dr.Ramanandan who is always so caring and listening patiently to my stories and sharing's, not to forget Dr. Anupama and Dr.Kesari and Dr. Athulya and all the staff and therapists, especially Jayasree, Zainudheen. Only suggestion is it would be better if hot water is provided in the rooms for patients. Also, although we are animal lovers, the cats were a bit disturbing. Over all a truly amazing and satisfying experience for all of us at vaidyagrama. Thank you all.

Every year when I have to leave VG (this being my fourth visit.) I say a prayer: Bring me back next year- let my calendar be free yet again for the gift of yet another year of Vaidyagrama. My two beautiful therapists Shyni and Prajeesha would tend with such love in their eyes that the nourishing post therapy was enhanced even more!
Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Athulya and this time, the added attention of Dr. Kesari who was as always the healing touch!
Dr.Ramadas for his friendship and our comradeship at cheating at cards- He fills up the place with his mere presence!
The prayers, the talks the ever enlightening Dr. Ramkumar who never fails to broaden one knowledge. Devi who kept my room so wonderfully clean, the gardeners, receptionists, the lovely Aparna and the fantastic Geetha. May the child in you continue to enamour us with your stories!
Always blessed!

This is my fifth experience at Vaidyagrama, so forgive me for the same comments.
Nothing changes, everything remains wonderful. The staff (all of them) with their wide smiles, gentle and kind ways, and their simplicity is most definitely part of the treatment and the care. The doctors are so very knowledgeable and have a wonderful way of the practicing their knowledge to all.
I am impressed with the doctors here, who are so kind and caring and have a charming sense of humour. The environment is beautiful, so lovely to see all the trees grown. All planted by those who come to stay in Vaidyagrama and partake in this ancient system of medicine. Enjoy the stunning outdoors…

I am so happy that I finally made my maiden trip to VG. My dearest cousin Shireen has been telling me about it for a few years now! I can see why it means so much to her and to others that I have come to know in the past few days.
I do realise that seven days is hardly enough experience all that it has to offer and inspired to factor a complete 21 days retreat in my calendar next year. Dr. Ramanadan, Dr. Kesari have been caring and attentive, as also the staff and therapists. Dr. Ramdas’ presence is also wonderful. Aparna’s warm and cheerful manner is heartwarming and makes one want to visit.
My deepest gratitude to Dr. Ramkumar for creating this wonderful place with the remarkable Vision and dedication.
I look forward to be being here again.
All the best!

I am always sad to leave vaidyagrama. Family and some friends never understand that.
The doctors and the staff are 75% of the healing, and always there for you.
The environment is extremely healing. I have been here so many times and that in itself shows how I have benefitted and how much I look the place, and hope to be back many times. My best wishes to all the projects this amazing place is doing.
Dr Ramkumar has a Vision, and with the help of his amazing doctors and staff, I hope it all comes true.

Hello,
This was my first experience with Ayurveda and with vaidyagrama. Thank you to Dr Harikrishnan and his wonderful team of doctors and therapists.
Dr Sivajyothi, Dr Mini, Dr Harikesh were all wonderful and took care to see me well. Vidya, Athira were also good and did a great job with my treatments.
I didn't come to vaidyagrama with a lot of expectations and everyday was a pleasant surprise.
My favourite place was Brahmakamalam, and I really enjoyed the prayer time and the various prayers that I could sing and chant, post the group sessions.
Really thanks for all the wonderful staff most of whom we don't see. But they manage to keep things running smoothly.
My sessions with Dr Harikrishnan were wonderful, and his way of dealing with my questions and patiently answering them is something I will always cherish. I planted a papaya sapling. My thanks to the housekeeping staff as well. My best wishes and thanks.

Health is wealth, yet it is often undervalued by many of us, until an injury forces us to stop and re-evaluate. A positive life force is following through Vaidyagrama. This is evident from the care received from all of you come in contact with, as well as the care taken with the surroundings, people, environment. What is here is what we all need - kindness, compassion and a way of life that encompasses the seasons, growing older and moving from external dissipation to internal quiet. How fortunate to have happened upon this place.

Vaidyagrama is my home away from home, an extended family that takes care to nurture and treat me to better health.
I am left in awe, and amazed at the smooth functioning of each and every department at Vaidyagrama. My pranams to Dr.Ramkumar for setting up Vaidyagrama and being my teacher who seamlessly guides me towards a more holistic living practices.
The Doctors are very knowledgeable, caring and patient with me. They tolerate my childish nonsensical behaviour my tantrums (mostly revolving around food!!)
The therapists know their job, routine and disciplined practice.
The support staff, kitchen staff, office staff, technical staff, each and everyone at Vaidyagrama is soft spoken, polite, helpful and self-motivated, the harmony is palpable.
The peace, quiet, serenity, prayers, chanting, satsangs, classes, walks, therapies and free time teaches one that the answer to all that is churning within is “how to live a simple, healthy, happy, holistic life without stress, anxiety and constant noise and struggle”…. Back home, I continue to try to imbibe the Vaidyagrama teachings and experiences among the chaos.
Thank you and pranams to my doctors – Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini, Dr. Sivajyothi and Dr.Harikesh, they worked to help me through my Snehapanam and treatments daily. And a few issues of discomfort.
I would like to suggest better tree planting in front of rooms 305, 306, 307, 308 blocks plus a wall fan in bathrooms and better hygiene in the kitchen. Some more thought into the food options and possibilities. Dr. Mini was very concerned and caring throughout my stay.
Suggestions:
Some good films on health and holistic talks could be shown
A fan in the bathroom
Better hygiene in kitchen
Twice/thrice a week some interesting educational films
A few current magazines
A better , more realistic food and nutrition options
Some patients from different fields- knowledgeable and well experienced – could give a talk and share – like Ted Talks.
Intro talk + films important to show on Vaidyagrama and its work and activities would help
A well-facilitated proactive follow up program with patients
Marketing and donor relationship manager could be more proactive

One of my friends in Sydney send me to Vaidyagrama as a present. Indeed, it has been a wonderful experience and more so, because of the caring and nurturing staff, from the top to the bottom range of the ladder in Vaidyagrama. There is commitment in the heart of the staff, that's the most obvious. I enjoyed myself immensely and look forward to the next time.

There are no words to thank everybody here, all are fully committed to healing and service. This is evident by the level of the professional approach of all doctors, the dedication of therapists and friendliness and attentiveness of the housekeeping staff.
You all are a marvellous team who made Vaidyagrama such an amazing and special place!
Can’t wait to come back next year!

To my very dear friends in Vaidyagrama,
I conclude my first visit here. It was a good stay in which I was exposed for the first time to some elements of Panchakarma and to the wonderful staff and place.
Let me express my sincere impression of the Holistic, dedicated and professional approach I have witnessed. Indeed, Ayurveda is an old amazing wisdom but due to its complexity and our times I would find it extremely difficult to find such a treatment program as you lead.
As a physician, Alternative Medicine doesn’t usually pay attention to the many details that show the meticulous vision with which this place was planned and the professional approach in which you treat patients.
I have experienced here some intense process and some extreme dedication to the wellness of patient.
I wish some of this Holistic approach, and dedication could be also be commonly found in the allopathic medicine. I wish you all happiness health and wellness. May you grow but not too much...!!!
I expect to return and am very curious to follow on my treatments in my life.
Much love, Namaste

Making the decision to come back to Vaidyagrama was an easy one considering the amazing experience I had last time. However, the experience itself was not easy. But the doctors here are with your every step of the way and make you feel like you are truly capable of doing this. This is why even though I wanted to leave on my third day, I stuck on and I am also happy that I did.
Vaidyagrama has once again left me not just healthier but also stronger and kinder (to myself and to the world). It’s amazing how this place and people here fill me with so much compassion. As for the biggest lesson learnt (again the pot in my courtyard did the trick) to live in the present and to go easier on myself.
To Dr Ramadas, Dr Sajna and everyone else here. Thank you so much for everything!
Thank you for accepting my craziness and for hearing me ramble on about silly things. Thank you for making me feel that, all that I am is enough and that I don’t need to be anything different, more or less.
This is not a goodbye because I know I will be back again!

Also thanks to Mridula for your attempts at singing me well to sleep.

It isn't often we encounter institutions or organisations that have managed to stay true to a vision. Even in Ayurveda we see the teachings modified or ignored for comfort, acceptability, and often profit.
It was an honour and joy to be in an atmosphere here at Vaidyagrama where from the Cleaning staff, to Admin, to Vaidya’s, it felt cohesive, integrated and healing. The care taken by everyone. The efforts towards energetics, Puja and prayer indeed does lift this place up and set it apart.
To those who patiently cared for me Dr Harikrishnan, Dr Mini, Dr Harikesh, Archana, Devaki - Pranams. To those who lit the space with your lights while it was also here: Dr Robert Mrs Lalitha group of Annapoorneshwari temple for a beautiful day of the Narayaniyam - the best Pranams. To the Vaidya Who continues to inspire and teach - Pranams.
Deep gratitude for the healing work you do in the world.

I had actually come to Vaidyagrama for being with my aunt for a few days who is undergoing treatment here. I could gather a lot about this wonderful place that many people come here with different ailments and go back after complete recovery. That talks a lot about the efficiency and the total dedication of the qualified doctors and the others assisting them. These facts inspired me to take a treatment for a short period for the little aches and pains that I had all over my joints. I should say that was really a good blessing for me and that short term treatment gave me a lot of relief. I wish I stayed for a longer period.
My special thanks to Dr Ramanandan to whom I was able to talk to freely. He had lot of patience to hear our story and that too with a smiling face. Also my thanks to Dr Anupama who visits us daily and soothes us with her kind words. Also I wish to thank Abhila for the treatment she did for me.
I am grateful and thankful to my sister Smt Geetha Mohandas who is behind all the inspiration and her advice really did a good job for me

Overall I had a great rejuvenating experience at Vaidyagrama. Though a short stay of 10 days, I am grateful to Dr Ramanandan and Dr Anupama for creating a compact Snehapanam regimen, to help me reclaim my health and get rid of my body toxins. The personalized Abhyangam, Snehapanam and Dinacharya routine help me immensely. I loved the session with the doctor as it was informative, therapeutic and counselling in nature. The next aspect was food. I could see how my body felt lighter with just a few days of the Ayurvedic diet. I am hoping to practice and inculcate this diet into my everyday routine. Third, the therapists were very professional and helpful with personalized tricks.
I enjoy all the sessions. The low lights, the frequent power outages and cockroaches in the room and given we seek calm and comfort during the stay, these are important factors to rectify at once.
Thanks for giving me a peaceful and meditative ten days. Will definitely recommend the place to my friends and look forward to visiting soon again.

Thank you for gathering these great souls in your name - to create a sacred structure through which your breath could flow.
Thank you for breathing strength & potency into every plant and tree, and giving us a lens through which to understand their properties.
Thank you for illuminating the simplicity and the mystery and the wise and unwise ways of weaving through life's tapestry.
Thank you for providing the means to achieve internal state of balance and bliss among ever changing external circumstances.
Thanks for reminding us to support individual as well as the whole.
In deep gratitude we leave here as emissaries of your light and knowledge.

I have tried Panchakarma treatment before at several Western places. Only when I arrived at Vaidyagrama, I realised that I had been treated incorrectly. The key is a doctor, who has a deep understanding of Ayurveda and ability to diagnose and hear people. I am so happy to meet and be treated by Dr Ramanandan. I feel like finally I found my personal doctor and such a big relief so I do not need to go from one hospital to another and spend money/ time with no results.
Dr Ramanandan is very patient and intelligent, willing to explain problems and how he is approaching healing. This was very important to me.
Satsang’s with other doctors helped me to extend my Ayurveda understanding. Those Satsang’s are blessing because a chance to meet other leading doctors. All of them are very gifted Vaidyas with interesting personalities. This place is amazing not only because of the amazing doctors; it has everything healing natural environment, comfortable and clean rooms, prayers, counselling, very personal approach and amazing therapists. Thank you Shiny, Prajeesha, Mridula for your care. This place offers amazing food also and any individual needs are met (I mean still following healing diet). I had huge food intolerance before I came and this was resolved. Because several doctors are responsible for each block, doctors are available 24/ 7 days of week for any problem. Overall, it is a perfectly managed authentic Ayurveda hospital with the atmosphere of home. And I hope I will be back to this,my second home.

I returned to Vaidyagrama for treatment after 3 years. It felt like, returning home to all the wonderful doctors, to all the therapists, to all the staff in fact it felt like nothing had changed.
As I get ready to pack my bags and leave I feel like a new person and know that I will be back again and again. For once you have experienced Vaidyagrama you cannot go elsewhere.
Special thanks to my Dr Ramadas for his care, his attention, his depth of knowledge and for his magnificent voice. I will miss our prayer times .I thank you Dr HariKumar who is always patient and kind, gentle and caring. I met new doctors too. Dr Sajna thank you for always making me feel good.
May Vaidyagrama continue to go from strength to strength and may you all continue this wonderful Vedic tradition of spirituality, respect for nature respect for life and respect for all living beings.

Today is our last full day at Vaidyagrama and it’s with a heavy heart that we are writing this note. While we are sad to leave the most nourishing (to mind and body) holiday we have ever had, we are certain that we will be back for more. We call it a holiday but it was so much more. The building, the grounds, the plants, the wildlife, the weather, the staff including the doctors, therapists, and the housekeeping staff, have all are contributed to a pleasant wholesome faultless time for both of us as a couple. Dr Harikrishnan has been such a ray of sunshine with his patience, his knowledge and experience, his kindness compassion and the ability to ease our troubled minds when we over complicate things. Dr Harikesh and Dr Mini were the reflection of the same. Therapists like Vidya, Athira, Devaki, Lakshmi, and Gireesh were wonderful. Saritha kept our room spotless with a bright shiny smile. And all the people that would walk past our patio as we whiled away the days warmed us up from the inside with their smiles and sweet gestures. Dr Ramadas, Dr Harikumar, Dr Ramkumar and Dr Ramanandan all provided much knowledge at the satsang to feed our minds. The medicines and treatments have worked wonder for both of us and we have no words to describe the gratitude we have for this place and the people. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you do, and do so well. We will have no hesitation in recommending Vaidyagrama to the people back in Sydney who are eager for the nourishment this place provides. We were also very grateful to be part of the many rituals and poojas we experienced while being here, in particular the "Sarpa Bali". We love you, we will be back for more.

This is a first for both me and my wife to stay in a place like this.
We came with an open minded and strongly believe in Ayurveda.
Vaidyagrama provided a very serene atmosphere plus great staff (from doctors, therapists and the rest). All of them did a wonderful job and made us feel very comfortable.
A special thanks to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Anupama and Dr Ramadas for the regular visits and catering to our needs.
Enjoyed the Sarpa Pooja and Satsangs too.
Thank you and God bless

VAIDYAGRAMA is the perfect place to Slow Down, become more silent and tune in to the rhythm of one's own nature and the nature around you.
The healing offering here is very authentic traditional Ayurveda, but my expectation was to have a more personalized experience. I imagined that the powerful physical treatment would be accompanied by mental and spiritual guidance also and that other aspects such as Yoga, Astrology and a complete discussion of my dosha would also be included. My perception of Ayurveda was that one would build a strong relationship with your doctor and receive treatment and guidance from your doctor on every level of being physical, mental and spiritual.
Despite my high expectation of a more holistic approach, I found my Panchakarma to be very beneficial and professionally executed. Personally I was just looking for a much deeper experience but this is more about my own journey and not a judgement of Vaidyagrama.
I am very happy I came here and I am delighted with the physical results. My skin is clear, my energy levels are high, my emotions feel calm and most importantly I am off coffee.
Thank you to all the doctors and staff at VAIDYAGRAMA. I sincerely appreciate that you adjusted my therapy to suit my needs and deal with me professionally.
Much love and light,

Very happy to be here for the second time. It's a silent
retreat zone for me. A place of rejuvenation and self-development. Glad to see Balagrama and also Lakshmigrama for cows. It's expanding into a city.
I pray for Dr Ramkumar and all team members, for all happiness, peace and prosperity.
Hope very soon “Ayurveda University “would come up along with the facilities for Poor patients in the upcoming future.

My last few hours of 2 months stay here at Vaidyagrama. This time I came with a specific need of the study of clinical assessment with Dr Ramadas.
He has been so kind, so generous with his time and knowledge. I feel at home following the schedule he had for me 6:30 am. to 7:30 am prayer.7:30am to 09.30 am to visit patients. 9:30 am to 12:30 pm treatments, 2:30 pm to 4 pm, question and answers with Dr Ramadas or Dr Harikumar. 5:30pm to 6:15 pm community Satsang.6:15 pm to 7:15pm evening prayer.
This way of learning helps me to go deeper into Ayurveda the way of life.
Life is not only in the head and knowledge, not only in books but is a moment by moment of being in tune with nature.
I am grateful to you Dr Ramadas, Dr Harikumar, Dr Sajna,
Dr Harikesh and each of the doctors, staff and this community for this 2 months of love and light.
I will go now to show what I learnt and will be back again next year for more learning.

A very good and soothing place to have lived. I am happy to be here. But I have some complaints in hand also. They should concentrate a little more on the food. The food you give can be given a little flavour. Every person here is very nice.

As communicated to Dr Ramanandan this was our first experience into a deep cleansing program. Overall it was a very good experience. All the doctors were extremely attentive, cooperative, paying good attention to our health issues.
I think the space planning, the greenery, daily prayers, the satsangs were all great parts of the program.
However we have a few humble suggestions-
1. Using the same ingredients but improving the quality of food. We were served too large portions which was given to the cows later. As part of our learning we felt guilty throwing food from our end as we have been trained not to waste even a morsel of food.
2. It would be better to have a joint food location for all the meals.
3. Some simple yoga practices could be added to give added learning to fill in our time.
4. More Ayurveda books could be provided in the library
Overall we were happy and thank all to the Vaidyagrama team.

This is my first time at Vaidyagrama. I chose Vaidyagrama mainly because of the clarity of Information and the focus on healing without compromising the core principles of Ayurveda for the sake of modern needs - Wi-Fi internet etc.
I am glad I choose Vaidyagrama. The entire stay was so peaceful and transformative. I stayed with my parents who also experienced an incredibly peaceful stay. Thanks especially to therapists (Kalpana, Geethu, Vaishnavi, Nimmi, Chiru, Vinod and Biju), housekeeping staff (Bhagyam and Jaya) and those in reception and the administrative office (Aruna, Jincy, Athira, Manju and Ganesh). Everyone at Vaidyagrama truly follows the community spirit and take care of the patient like their own family.
Overall we had a great experience. I hope to continue my association with Vaidyagrama in future.

Overall experience was good which is away from your corporate life, meetings, noise, traffic and pollution etc.
Of course there is room for improvement always.
Rooms - the doors are not made in a proper way because you struggle to lock. Every time it hits up leaving it as if unlocked.
Food - I have learnt something of diet and I believe with the same ingredients one can cook better food, The food quality is not very great and you can bring more varieties within the diet. The food and same dishes and tastes could have had more varieties. This should be controlled because it is obviously depressing.
Therapists - I give 5 star by rating to Sainudeen but apart from him most of them are not being fully informed. This can be done in another way as this is creating a lot of gap between doctors and therapists. Otherwise all the other staff like head office, back office, house-keeping are all beloveds.

I was very ecstatic to come back to Vaidyagrama after 6 years. I recalled how good the doctors were and how pampered we get here. It is a home away from home. I have been very happy with Dr Mini Dr Harikrishnan and Dr Harikesh. Their attention to details and care taken is impeccable. They are all too good.
I have enjoyed the Satangs in the afternoon which were not there before. Because of my thirst for learning more all the time. Life is a process of learning and I am happy to have all my questions answered. All in all the hygiene of the kitchen and food needs to be improved tremendously and care taken to prepare meals under strict supervision especially because me and my daughter have stomach issues. Food quality and hygiene have to change.
I liked everything else, the help given to village around, and the friendliness of all the doctors was also very good. Would also prefer to have my laundry done separately; because of skin issues.
THANKS TO ALL DOCTORS AND THERAPISTS especially DEVAKI and to DR HARIKRISHNAN, DR MINI, DR HARIKESH, AND ALSO SIVAPRAKASH FOR TEACHING ME YOGA BREATHING.
Dr Ramdas for his prayer sessions was EXCELLENT Too. Dr Ram Kumar for his SATSANGS Too.
THANKS A MILLION FOR ALL!!!
Love Jyoti.
The main point that I want to stress on are the following:
1. FOOD HYGIENE PLEASE
2. FAN IN TOILETS
3. THERAPISTS HAVE TO BE TRAINED TO BE BETTER
4. AN EMERGENCY CARE NEAR TO HERE
5. FIRST AID KIT AND REFRIGERATOR WITH COLD PACKS FOR EMERGENCY

This wonderful treatment was supported by the prayers and Pranayama which held the whole experience tightly in love and happiness.
My body has been cleansed and rebooted back to its happy contented and natural state.
My mind of swinging negative thoughts has gently fallen and calm. The relief is enormous and the experience light and joyous.

I have the privilege to spend almost 4 weeks here. It has been an incredible experience of healing as well as learning. Healing - because I have found more solutions than what I was looking for. I have been very impressed by the outstanding doctors team who are looking for the best for each of us even if it is challenging for them. I have found understanding, passion, compassion, never give up type of attitude and determination. Learning: because going to the satsangs has been a truly extraordinary experience of getting much more knowledge about Ayurveda principles and values it has helped tremendously to be more connected to myself and then to improve and enhance the healing process. The patience of the place, being at home feeling have brought much more serenity and peace in my heart. I have been very touched by the community engagement which has been thoroughly taught and assigned for the good sake of the people. The social initiatives are very impressive and more financing with donations will have to help this project. It is why I believe that the concept of 'Ambassador Patient' has to be initiated where each patients who is willing to will become an ambassador of one of the initiatives and then pomote that initiative in their companies and friends to take for donation
Thanks again for everything

We arrived Vaidyagrama on 5th October 2018 and got treated here for 26 days with the guidance of Dr. Ramanandan and his colleagues. We had the opportunity to know about Ayurveda in detail to some extend through “SATSANGS” conducted daily.
So happy to know how the cleansing process is being conducted to the whole body. It is a marvellous service rendered by the doctors to the least cadre staff in taking care of patients with smiling faces.
Though not I get immediate relief for both of us, we trust, we will be well in due course. We had the opportunity to change our lifestyle we wish Vaidyagrama will prosper well in the service of mankind.

I am so grateful to have been at this place of healing that you have created with such wisdom, love and dedication.
I learned much from your knowledgeable doctors. Especially in the Satsang, and I felt sincerely cured for by them and the nurturing therapists. Every staff person I encountered here was exceptionally warm, caring and hardworking, yet they made it seems effortless.
I also enjoyed the community of patients that your healing village draws here.
What will forever stand out for me is the power of healing when it is provided, not in isolation but in a community and fueled by prayer in the morning and evening, prayer before treatment. No matter what you believe spiritually or even if you don’t believe perhaps here, others believe for you.
Peace and Thank you

Vaidyagrama provided a quiet place to relax the human organism. It allows the inflammation to diminish from the burden of excessive living, over eating, not sleeping enough, bad food and diet, all the pressures that come with urban living. They require you to slow all the physiological processes to slow down. Removes the distraction of electronics, entertainment and the desire to busy one’s mind and body,
I spent my time reading about the science of Ayurveda, meditating, praying, reflecting a lot and just raising my awareness of my bodily functions that speak to you quite clearly if you only listen. Amazing time here for healing. I now need to apply this science the best I can in the chaos of urban living, so that I may enjoy the animation that is the human body with spirit with care, consciousness and love ingredients to a beautiful life. Vaidyagrama lifts the veil that clouds human potential
I love it here.

It is difficult to mention all of the reasons I thoroughly enjoyed any 4 weeks stay at Vaidyagrama. There are so many reasons why. Let me start by giving my attendance doctor, Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Harikesh, Dr. Sivajothi and Dr. Siva. I truly felt your nurturing and caring support and assistance as I went through the rejuvenation process. This was ably supported by the therapists, especially Athira, Vidhya and Gireesh. And the rest of the staff who served me snacks, cleaned my room and did special favour for me. Of course, I sincerely want to thank all of the staff I did not meet who made all of the possible behind the scenes, the cooks, dishwashing, laundry staff, maintenance people, gardener etc. Everything worked like clockwork. I look forward to visiting again in the near future! In the meantime I think I will have dreams of Dr.Harikesh chasing after me with a big syringe filled with red oil.

As always coming to Vaidyagrama is a wonderful experience and healing for both body and soul. Our Thanks to all the staff and doctors for their care and love at all times. Although our overall experience was a good one it used to be nice if a few areas and be considered for improvement to make it even more wonderful place.
Food- there is far too much wastage and at every meal my heart crying at the amount of food wasted in a country where so many are starving!
And this is not appropriate for cows who should be eating grass!
Besides the qualities I think this should be taken in to consideration
The treatment was as always very good the only suggestion being that there should be at least one senior therapist at each session. Not that the overall we had were not good. They were, but lack of consistency in protocol. Hope this small observations will help Vaidyagrama to grow higher places.
With good wishes

However it may be worth bearing in mind that there are likely to have been many working, equally hard behind the scenes so it is courteous acknowledge everyone collectively in addition to Dr Harikrishnan and his competent team.

This is my third visit here and though there were many options, I choose Vaidyagrama because of the ashram like settings, kind and caring staff and cleanliness Dr Harikrishnan attended to me both the time I was here. I am happy with Dr Harikumar too. A soft spoken person but like Harikrishnan was very through in his examinations and treatment. Dr Renjisha was extremely good also. When she came to know that I was in pain all night she said I should have called for help.
The therapists Nimmy, Nithya and Athira were very good in giving treatments. Deepa and Rajamani did their share to help the room clean and to pick up and delivery laundry. Front desk staff were very helpful too. We thoroughly engaged in the poojas, morning and evening chants and we are leaving with a wonderful heart and peaceful heart.
The atmosphere is very healing and I can see how it has influenced my very restless husband in just few days
Thanks to all of you for taking such good care to us.

The first week of my stay was truly wonderful. Thereafter I have noticed many areas for improvement which I trust are temporary and I will be rectified soon.
The doctors, therapists and all the staff have been caring and supportive. I wish Dr Ramadas was here till I left. Missed his wisdom and good cheers.
Not up to writing all the good things. I wish to thank the Yoganidra session by Dr. Siva, the wonderful prayer sessions, homes and other r special prayers, the satsang…….
Leaving with a lot of gratitude .special thanks to Dr Harikumar, Dr. Renjisha, Geethu and Vaishnavi and Dr. Sajna. Holding Vaishnavi in my heart and prayers. Hope to see her on my next visit.

In past 7 years it has become my annual retreat at Vaidyagrama.
What started with a medical condition requiring surgery the team at Vaidyagrama nourished and rejuvenated the body and the mind.
A condition that had only surgery as an option reversed to no evidence of the original condition as per the scan, due to the care of wise team here.
This experience leads me to understand the blessing of health.
Now my understanding of health has enlarged. In Vaidyagrama you find a space of simplicity your authentic Ayurveda is practised with compassion and love. I recall Punarnava means rejuvenated, so it is here at Vaidyagrama if one is blessed to receive the gift of Good health.
My gratitude and love to all the team especially the many we don't see but server behind the scenes. Thanks very much

Greetings!
This is my first time at Vaidyagrama and I feel very blessed to have found this beautiful place! There is not enough words to describe my experience at Vaidyagrama! I felt like I was in heaven. Everyone, every single person at Vaidyagrama was kind, patient, and welcoming. I truly enjoyed the stay. The doctors were very attentive and supported me every step of my healing journey. During 30 days of my stay and I have learned so wisdom from everyone especially my doctors. I felt like I was very well taken care of and protected and nurtured.
My deepest and most humble gratitude to Dr Ramadas and Dr Harikumar to my therapists Nithya, Indu, Nimmy, all staff, every single person who makes it happen every day.
Deepest gratitude to Aparna and Geetha for their care! Deepest gratitude to Punarnava initiative and trust for the goodness they bring to world.
And finally I want to express my deep gratitude to Dr Renjisha, who is also my doctor, who was there with me at all the time! She gave me so much love and care during the stay as if, I was her child. I was deeply touched and humbled by her dedication to her patients. I will miss Vaidyagrama, however I will especially Miss Dr Renjisha.!
Dr Renjisha, thank you for taking care of me so well! Love... You are the best!
The environment of Vaidyagrama is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, inspiring, and humbling! This is where I get in touch with my true self.
And the food is amazing.
Dear Vaidyagrama,

Dear Vaidyagrama family
My sincere salutations with gratitude respect and love to the supreme god and who has made as this instrument the great visionaries of Vaidyagrama Dr Ramkumar and his expert team of doctors for providing such a calm, beautiful, peaceful, happy, ethnic healing abode to the humanity.
I have come here for a three weeks stay and when I return home I feel like a new person. The morning and evening prayers and chanting cleanses our body, mind, and soul which accelerates the healing process. The homam and pooja specially conducted brought in more divine energy to this healing place. I am inspired by the exact time schedule followed by the doctors for prayers. Thank you….
I express my sincere gratitude to Dr Ramadas for his care, attention and knowledge shown in healing me. His positive advices and spiritual thoughts has imparted me a new insight to my health problem.
I also express my gratitude to Dr Harikumar who is always soft, gentle and caring in his talk for giving me inner strength and awareness for reducing friction in my body. Both doctors healed me not only by the medication but also by the transfer of their positive energy.
I miss Dr Ramadas reverberating voice and Dr Harikumar melodious voice in our prayer sessions.
I am grateful to Dr. Sajna for her ever smiling face and her loving care for some treatment sessions she added positively to my healing.
I am also grateful to Dr Renjisha for her spiritual, attentive caring nature she showed during some difficulties I faced in the night while in the course of treatment. She showed absolute care from her heart and was with me till I got absolutely fine. She gave great care and attention during the treatment sessions she inspired me to sing in the group dinner.
I also wish heartedly thank the therapists Geethu, Vaishnavi, Kalpana, manju and Indu for giving me finest treatment sessions. The therapists showed immense professionalism and care on all the sessions. They impacted happy, loving, caring, atmosphere for the treatments more or less they kept fixed time schedule. They served medicine and food in time without fail.
My sincere thanks to cleaning lady Bhagyam who always kept the room neat and tidy. She showed utmost care in changing the bed sheets and pillow covers in time even without my request with a smiling face.
I also thank the laundry people who kept correct time schedule for working and returning the clothes in time.
Thanking very much for the cooking staff for providing delicious satvik food.
I also thank Mr Siva Kumar who conducted the Yoganidra sessions. It was a wonderful experience.
I also thank Dr. Ramanandan for inspiring me to sing in the group dinner.
I thank all the doctors of Vaidyagrama for transferring their wisdom and knowledge during the satsang sessions.
My sincere thanks to Aparnaji and Geethaji. My deepest gratitude to Punarnava Trust and its community initiatives.
The stay in Vaidyagrama is a wonderful experience and its imprint in my heart is great. After the treatment my five year old type 2 diabetes is made under control. Also my two year old skin allergy has cured almost 90% .The stay in Vaidyagrama made me a changed personally.
May Vaidyagrama continue to grow in its strength by the grace of God. May Vaidyagrama extend its facilities to less affordable people also in the near future?
Thank you from me all the wonderful people of Vaidyagrama family

Thank you is a small word for the treatment I have got here. Can’t thank enough. It was a complete holistic and spiritual journey for 21 days.
Physically and mentally completely rejuvenated. Learned a lot on the spiritual and philosophical side.
All the Pujas were divine. Satsang were very informative. The most looked forward satsang was Dr. Ramkumar.
Dr. Ramanandan was very kind and friendly to explain the reason and cure of my heart issue.
Dr. Aishwarya and Dr. Anupama were very helpful
All the three therapists in my block were excellent.
Housekeeping was good too!
Food was divine.
Looking forward to come back in July in my family
Keep doing the good work

Dear Vaidyagrama and all people here,
Thank you just so incredibly for making my and every one’s stays here so deeply positive and healing. I am leaving here with a happy heart and spirit and with memories of you all.
The whole process was so just perfect for me. The panchakarmas, the wonderful therapist and doctors, the satsang with everyone and one of the highlight was all the homas and poojas especially the graha homa puja. It seems for sure your initial vision is coming through in all that you do and are. It seems that because of all this the spirit of Ayurveda vidya has found its home here and equally provides this home for each of us staying here with you. Even when we travel long and back to our own places of home - you are right our true homes is able to manifest with us no matter where we are.
With love

It has not been easy on a daily basis because I felt pain in my back and at the beginning I was not feeling well at all.
However, I’ve understood that it was the healing process.
Now I feel light and free and I really hope it will lost in the future.
I will definitely advise often people to come.

First visit here.
Please excuse if I am mentioning any drawbacks as I strongly believe this can help other patients.
Positives-
* The ambiance set here -say, the way the food is cooked, the medicinal plants in and around the center and the spiritual activities that happen, the very well the building pathway lighting is planned, shows much noble and dedicated effort has been put in, just to ensure every patient is healed. The staff and every person I met here are more human in their approach towards each other and patients. This cannot be expected or imagined in any other Ayurvedic hospitals .Trust me! I have been to Ahalia and other numerous Ayurvedic hospitals earlier. No other organization can ensure such hospitality towards patients are maintained, such a dedicated and spirited community of staffs in the long run. This is more an enabling environment for staff and everyone in many aspects.
Negatives:
I was staying in pb2 where wash basin was clogged for more than 12 days despite requesting maintenance in reception almost every day. (This is not to point Fingers at anybody. Requesting to take it in the right spirit) .The smell emanating from the clogged washroom was highly unhygienic throughout the first 12 days which was unbearable .For more than 12 days one of the therapist keep talking to another therapist nonstop during the treatment which could have been avoided and helped me heal better . Thanks for accommodating my two and half year old kid and bearing her loud shouts which disturb the Ambience of the Vaidyagrama. The treatment related requests to reception were handled swiftly by the reception staffs and I was attended to promptly in times were immediate medical care was necessary.
The maintenance staff Devi and Jaya were very friendly pharmacy staff Krishnaveni other also friendly towards my kid. Dr. Neethu Thomas and wife of Mr. Hakeem so supportive and friendly which made my day more memorable and worthwhile.
Padaabhyanga and lepam treatment could have been far better (not satisfied) To sum it up there is a lot for me to learn and bring it in my life activities from here the Vaidyagrama the ambience, food , how a human being treat another on day to day basis, what is offered here is lot more than treatment, a lesson for a human being to keep himself at ease and in tune with natural environment thank you for everything ...especially spiritual activities

I sit in gratitude as I contemplate all the sustenance that I have received here at Vaidyagrama. I arrived with a semi hardened shill that you first cracked with the pounding and then softened with the pouring of warm water. The softer I became the mine I could soak up the beauty and, the kindness me here. Vaidyagrama is truly healing bases where one can put down their defenses (their ego) and absorb are the healing that is here. I am very grateful to those that had the vision of Vaidyagrama and to those that are here: all the doctors, therapist, cooks, cleaners, gardeners, and all other support staff. I am especially grateful to Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar, Geethu, and Kalpana for their loving support.

The therapist were wonderful, they were very accommodating.
The food was delicious and always felt, good digestive wind.
Thank you for your love and care

I am very grateful for the experimental immersion of Panchakarma here in Vaidyagrama, it have been a life altering journey on my path to wellness. The science of Ayurveda and the wisdom of harmony of the body, mind, spirit and consciousness makes instinctive here.
The authenticity of the environment is very conductive to healing. All of the doctors and the staffs are dedicated, to supporting the health and well-being of the patient. The food is nourishing and delicious. The ritual of daily satsang and yoga nidra, as well as the chanting in the morning and evening gives a natural rhythm to each day. It was a special treat to experience the many Pooja's and incredible Mandala art during our first week here.
Special thanks to Dr. Ramdas your positivity knowledge, compassion and contagious laughter is a gift to the world

Keep coming back annually; I can see major progress in my conditions, special appreciation to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Hari Kumar and my therapists Devika and Lakshmi.

My week end trip, albeit short stay for just 2 days was an eye opener as far as the body and health was concerned. Right from the doctor’s consultation to the treatment and prescriptions, it was so revealing about the importance of health and maintenance.
Have to write about the place- neat and well laid out with friendly staff ever courteous.
Overall, great experience with a definite urge to return for longer stay in 2019
Good luck Vaidyagrama!

Good morning!
This is my second journey to Vaidyagrama depended to my experience from last years.
My deepest appreciation is for the respectfulness of the space provided, and being able to receive treatments in a peaceful setting and with silence and mindfulness.
The doctors and treatments are knowledgeable, and compassionate towards patients of their healing process.
The prayers, poojas, satsang and yoganidra are incredibly supportive to this process.
For me Vaidyagrama is my refudge which supports the mystery of the “unknown” my faith in humanity and for a future for this earth.
I plan on returning each year for as long as able and providing support in ways of respect, love and prayers

Ending my India journey with the quiet and lovely stay at Vaidyagrama wakes me. Want to come back again and again. Everyone here is beyond friendly. Doctors, therapists, staff everyone.
I love the idea how once body heals all by itself if given enough rest and break from habitual stress, transformation is called for from within.
Special thanks for the care and attention from Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Neethu. Amazing people.
Keep it up! You are doing the right thing as long as you keep supporting the kids, environment and traditions. Vaidyagrama will keep joy and prospering.

It is with pleasure to write a little about Vaidyagrama, nevertheless in view of the short stay.
Came here with no introduction but overall I believe we made the right choice
The fact that we were made to 'travel' in time tunnel, without AC, TV, internet and total vegetarian food was something we will bring along and cherish.
We will also try to talk with friends about this unique environment back home.
One humble suggestion is for having someone to show the surroundings in the first day itself.
Overall we wish to put on record our appreciation to all the doctors and staff for their effort.

Staying in Vaidyagrama has given me not only physical healing beet also mental relaxation and a good push for spiritual development. It is a very special place with a unique energy sensitive and caring doctors and loving staff. I had a truly holistic experience here in all levels and I am sure that I will continue seeing the fruits of this experience as I go back home. This was the first exposure to panchakarma for me and as a student of Ayurveda, from the college of Ayurveda” luk” I go back with a lot of practical knowledge.
Big THANK YOU to the doctors Dr. Harikumar, your morning prayers are so devotional they deeply touched in my heart .Dr. Renjisha thank you for your patience and your time explaining everything when I had many questions. Dr. Ramadas I will never forget you how you helped me to overcome the aversion of my mind during my last day of ghee.

This stay at Vaidyagrama was clearly karma driven…
Came without clear idea of what will occurs, and met a family, who just look me as I am, without any judgement.
Really gifted, and able to attend those magnificent Pooja.
I leave after 3 weeks, truly repaired and feeling myself more than I did for years.
Many thanks to the whole team, take care

My stay at Vaidyagrama was divine intervention. The spiritual events, poojas that happened here, the people that I met, guidance I got, friends I made, prayers that were answered were signs from the universe. Vaidyagrama's history, mission, set up, staff, the way people treat each other and live the harmony with the nature makes it easier for patients to connect with the universe, feel the positive energy and grow spirituality. This is a precious place. I wish the community the very best.

Dear all at Vaidyagrama,
It was an experience I would wish. I visited 5 years back and I found the same hospitality and warmth among the vaidyagramians. I was treated with care and 8 days of treatment created a vast recovery and due to lack of time I forced to leave. Would definitely comeback for more number of days next time.

After 4 weeks of treatment I am feeling significant relief of the symptoms, I arrived considered about my being is confused with feelings of contentment and clarity. My biological system feels properly regulated. I feel so nice that i am considering staying even longer so as not to rush out too soon. I want to make sure I know my system needs the time it needs to establish a help the rhythm before I confront to the obstacles of society. That being said, I realize I must move on for now at some point and I am grateful for a renewed sense of hope and strength to pursue my Dharma, as an ayurvedic health counselor. Thanks to all the amazing skilled and wise doctors and therapist as well as the maintenance and cooking staff for their honorable seva. The world needs more of sanctuaries like Vaidyagrama; they are setting a beautiful and profound example for everyone to see what it looks like to live in harmony with the cycles of nature within our bodies and with the great outside environment. I hope to return soon for studies and further treatment when done

My sincere gratitude to all the people of Vaidyagrama. I came here for my dad's treatments and in the last 20 days the same has improved a lot. The place was amazing as it's never gives you the environment of the so called hospital. The doctors and staffs share the warmth and love it does the healing for you in many ways. Personally for me food was a challenge, since I am not a green vegetable diet. The stay was amazing. One suggestion I have to put forward was for food, if you can do a buffet like thing it would reduce the wastage of the food.

This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama. I found this place as a great place to rejuvenate. The ambience which consists many things like healthy diet regimen, prayers and satsang so looks at the holistic way towards healing mind and body both.
While I have not seen much health benefit so far, I am quite confident it is going to give me tangible improvements soon. I am planning to apply the knowledge I gained here once outside.
I would also like to thank Dr. Ramanandan and his colleagues, therapists, other staff members who ensured a pleasant stay here. Lately I am really impressed to know that Vaidyagrama is also engaged in many activities for the benefit of its staff and to the society as a whole.
All the very best for the great vision and mission

I came to Vaidyagrama with a knee pain which was not going away inspite of taking medicines. Within 10 days of starting the treatment, the knee pain vanished.
The treatment were very intense, the journey through helped not only physically but mentally and emotionally to slow down and take care of my health. Excellent care, food and treatments. I would recommend this experience for all, especially to staffs of Vaidyagrama.

In the midst of cities expanding everywhere with pollution and noise this place is an Oasis Neutering body mind and the spirit with its tranquil environment and nature. Everything is done here with care and love from the rooms to the detail attention to patients needs and health.
Also the therapist and cleaners do things with care and cleanliness.
Will surely recommend to friends since the doctors don't only treat with Ayurveda but live with the principles themselves.
May you continue and thrive in the years come.

This is second visit had many challenges for me . I was not well when i arrived and was often unable to let go of my fears. There was much love, care and skill offered me for the four weeks and although I am not sure of what will awact me in the next months. I have learned many valuable lessons. My room was perfectly located and I spent many hours on my week with the birds especially. Even though I am unsure right now, I can see a path more clearly for addressing especially emotional fragility. Even something so simple as chronic hoarseness place my voice above my throat. when I am afraid and the sound that comes out. I have not been able to accept. So shiva’s breathing instructions have been very helpful. I will seek further help to move my mind and my self back down into my heart.
I have deep gratitude even when sometimes. I have not been able to touch it skillfully.

I feel very lucky and blessed to have had the opportunity to be here at vaidyagrama. I have so many people to thank, starting with Aparna ji for accomodating me. The ever smiling sonia and the front desk team instantly made me feel athome and comfortable. Infact the whole team has been very warm and caring. I cant get over the smiles & good vibes everyone of the staff sends out. Thank you Dr. Harikesh for pushing me to finish my ghee each day and Dr. Siva jothi for checking up on me. Dr. Mini you are a star. Thanks for all the chats, I feel like I have made a good friend and I hope we will be in touch. Dr. Harikrishnan I cannot thank you enough. You are easiest the kindest, gentlest, wisest doctor I have come across. Thank you so much for reminding me to surrender and teaching me to be still. Shalini, Deekshita and Devaki are such amazing people always smiling and always putting us, the patients before even themselves. There were days I could see they were tired or not well but they continued with what they had to do with a smile sakunthala. I love the philosophy behind everything at vaidyagrama. It is so much of what our world needs today. It was definitely what I needed and has been my sanctuary for the last 25 days. I am having major pangs about leaving and I really hope I will be back again soon.
A big Thank you to vidyagrama and everyone who helps in making it happen.

The peace of Vaidyagrama can be sensed as one approaches the entrance that sense of peace remains strong me in after the intensity of the treatment nor the strangeness of the food nor the black wriggly insect that bit me at mid night.
To say that the kindness caring sensitivity are all so intrinsic point to a … impulse and manifestation which is a healing inspiration in itself.
With deepest gratitude and appreciation

Dear all the staff members at Vaidyagrama,
This is my first visit here. At first the quietness of the place scared me but as the days passed I love this peaceful environment. All the staff from doctors to the cleaning people are very courteous and helpful. This place has some of the best Ayurvedic doctors. Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Ramadas (my doctor), and others. They have found a perfect combination of Ayurvedic medicine and spiritual healing. They strive not only to cure but heal the patient from deeper inner perspective all my therapists were also patient and wonderful. The facilities design is basic from the perspective of modern conveniences but that is by design. I believe the goal here is to have the patient know themselves by being away from all the worldly pollutions. Doctors here are very spiritual and conduct satsang and prayers to awaken spiritually and impart knowledge of Ayurveda. I here also enjoyed group dinners meeting other patients from different parts of the world. Have also enjoyed entertainment after group dinner.
Overall first time visit was very good. I am impressed. Only one complaint mosquitos, even though staff doing fumigation multiple times a day to control the mosquitos population but it seems are winning the battle. God bless all the people of Vaidyagrama and big THANK YOU

This is really wonderful which we can't see in normal hospitals I am very happy to be here because I learnt how one should love other, from Heart by looking at the people here .I understood the meaning of love ,humanity and spirituality I want to offer my deepest gratitude towards my doctors who cared me a lot during my treatment Dr Ramadas, Dr. Renjisha and Dr Arun special thanks to Dr.Ramadas who never felt disturbed when I was asking many questions to him, he was always happily ready to answer all my questions and to motivate me, inspiring me ,to be positive I must say he is a special gift to all of us given by Lord .
Thank you very much for being a wonderful doctor and a spiritual healer especially of mind. I am offering my respectful obeisance onto Dr Ramadas and all other doctors and staffs including the cleaners.

It was a very interesting experience being in this Serene environment with the chirping of birds. It was a very different kind of experience with spirituality included in the treatment.
The staff and doctors are very approachable and friendly, only thing I would like to comment in the food - You need to have a good dietician who can give a balanced and nutritious yet light in the stomach depending upon the individual need of the patient. There is too much coconut and banana in all the meals.
This is my honest feedback
Thank you once again all the doctor and staff specially block B Dr Ramadas.

Feeling healed and rejuvenated.

Very courteous and loving staff, each one of them. Enjoyed the informative satsangs. What to say about the ambience it's so calm and spiritually uplifting.

True to its name Vaidyagrama has been a holistic healing village to my body and mind. I am amazed at how at a physical level there has been an amazing transformation in span of two weeks. The Psoriasis that has haunted me for 2 years, now a phenomenal change under the care of Dr. Harikrishnan. I am truly thankful to him from the bottom of my heart. I am sure with his continued treatment and advised dietary plus lifestyle changes from my side I would find complete cure.
At a mental level this has been the first time I have attempted to stay solo in my thirty seven years. With my fear of sleeping staying alone I could not have pulled it up, but for the positive vibrations and secure feeling Vaidyagrama gives by way of the chants, satsangs, the beauty of the tiled passages brick and clay walls the timely sambrani smoke and flows the friendly smiling and loving stuff. And of large most importantly the birds and the greenery. I wish you would put a mesh around the sit out, so that we can spend longer hours outside safely protected against the insects and reptiles.
Dr Mini you are solely and all in all, with your energetic and smiling self-looking into all aspects of our stay and treatment. And also sharing some lighter moments during our conversation thank you so much. Hope the sapling I planted grows.
Dr. Harikesh you were very thoughtful to check on me every now and then during my rather tough "snehapanam" days thank you!
Dr ramdas for his soulful rendering of the Vishnu and Lalita Sahasranama, it add so much strength and positivity during our stay.
Thanks to all the therapist who are each individually so sweet and caring. Anju Subhash etc. my special thanks to Lakshmi chechi for genuinely caring for me and to Devaki for her personal involvement and attention during the days I had a painful back. She is really good. Athira for her sweet smile and her enthusiasm to do everything right for us.
She sure has a great future.
Lastly to shenbagam Chechi for her effective housekeeping.
May Vaidyagrama continue to grow thoughtfully and sensibly?

A nice nourishment for my body and my soul, a very good place to take care of myself, I receive good advices and now I feel sleepy at 9:30 and can wake up at 5:30. I am not so nervous when I don't sleep and when there are no noises every day. Something new to listen with nice people (Satsang chanting) I hope next year to learn more the morning chants.
All people here are kind and smiling, the doctors are very available.
Thank you
