This community full of love, Joy and affection. As soon as you get out of from your room you are welcome with a big smile and greetings. No need to understand each others language. People come from all over the world and are ready to mingle with each a time international grama. In addition to the treatment lot of information is provided about Ayurveda and medically, healthy living. This 6000 years all science is amazing. It does not treat one ailment. But treats the whole body.
Doctors are just amazing and brilliant and on call 24 hours a day. Dr. Ramadas ji and his staff have been looking after during my last three trips. Dr. Ramadas is a very compassionate, caring, loving and multi talent individual. He is an excellent doctor, musician, spiritual leader. Gives good and easy lectures on Ayurveda and health. He loves birds has a good collector of their photography, takes good care of his staff. His physician under him are an excellent. Always giving care, love with smile Dr. Harikumar, Dr. sivajothi Dr. Sajna are always there for my need.
Therapist work very hard but with a beautiful smile on their face and love in their eyes. My therapist kalpana is one of the best therapist. I was very lucky to have her.

What a beautiful international community like minded people gathers here. I look forward of coming here again next year.

I am so grateful for the care and the success of the treatments I received at VG.
Dr. Harikrishnan and his team was so kind he was so very encouraging. Dr. Harikesh was a joy to be around with his great smile at 6:00 am ghee treatments. Dr. Neethu went out of her way to have the medicine transport documents translated into Spanish for me. Dr. Ramadas morning and evening chanting of the prayers evidenced the fact that not only body, but spirit is treated at VG. Dr. Ramanandan kept our minds joyfull as the host of the weekly community dinners. My therapist a great team of guys and I especially want to thank to Anish for his care. Dr. Ramkumar Satsang evidenced the system of the the philosophy. I Will Forever remember him when I hear the word ‘practices’.

Wow…. This is the place that I was looking for a long time, combination of medicine and spirituality. Also entire vaidyagrama is environmental friendly. The treatment given by Dr. Ramanandan and his staff was excellent. The chants of Dr Ramadas will be missed. Dr. Ramkumar’s satsangs were very inspirational and life touching. I had enjoyed each and every moments of his class. Therapists were very caring and gave loving treatments. Entire staff is very friendly.

Oh my God! How desperately I was dreaming of this date – the date I’ll be going back to home. It is not because I don’t like it here, but because my therapy was more intense than I thought it would be.
But I knew I was in good hands, I always felt supported. All the therapists are very friendly and knowledgeable. Doctors are professional. I am glad I have chosen this place for panchakarma and would recommend this place to my friends. Special thanks to Dr. Aishwarya, Dr. Anupama as well as Lavanya, Mridula, Vaishnavi and of course to Dr. Ramanandan.

Vaidyagrama,
Excellent institution available faculty keeping the patient's requirements in mind. Events at the temple and Mandapam were excellent. Dr. Ramadas prayer sessions were mind blowing. what a voice, god bless him. Dr. Ramkumar explanation pertaining to Ayurveda principles were eye opener. We never thought of life in this perspective. Every step of Ayurveda and Panchakarma treatment was explained in details which helped us overcome our doubts on the process and path of the treatment.
Dr. Ramanandan
Our physician was excellent. Thank you doctor we did not have several medical issues; how ever he was always available to meet and discuss any issues we had. We were both satisfied with our treatments and will leave here with good memories
Dr. Athulya
Thank you for being our next to keen physician. She is not only great physician but a good administrator. She was always ahead of us, before we ask for anything she was already prepared and delivered immediately. She always had our needs in mind and delivered them. An excellent young physician.
Dr. Arun
We had few meetings with Dr. Arun both of us found him knowledgeable and always ready to help.
The Therapists
Thank you Santosh, Ratheesh, Ranjit on men's side and Akhina, Radhika and Abila on the ladies side for being patient with us and providing as excellent unforgettable therapy. They work hard and always smile no matter how difficult the treatment procedure. Jaya our housekeeper was excellent.
Overall our experience was positive and we will recommend this facility to others

Thank you for giving me and my family a divine experience. It was beyond our expectation living quarters were spacious and clean. Surrounding was beautiful and natural. Treatment rooms are designed very well. All the doctors are well experienced and knowledgeable. Prayers and Satsang’s were very helpful in healing mind and body. Basics of Ayurveda and different Satsang’s on treatments are very helpful. Would like to see improvement in coordinating treatments timings, staff is very polite and ready to help anytime.
I would recommend anyone who want experience and authentic Ayurveda treatment in a peaceful, natural environment.
I wish the Vaidyagrama to grow into a big healing village.

Vaidyagrama,
Not knowing the details of what I was walking into Vaidyagrama was nothing but and I open experience from the architecture of the place to the treatment given to the patient is phenomenal.
Being Indian I knew Ayurveda was ancient form of medicine practice. The knowledge I received at Vaidyagrama in regards to Ayurveda was amazing. I am very curious to learn about Ayurveda and get the most benefits from it. After Vaidyagrama experience I truly believe Ayurveda has power to heal the body through the help of nature. Vaidyagrama is also a self-sustaining community which was great to see. They have made most out of the resources provided to them. Apart from the treatment activities provided by Vaidyagrama was very knowledgeable for people like me who did not know much about Ayurveda. I came to Vaidyagrama thinking follow my spiritual find / spiritual path. In the process I found Ayurveda. The knowledge all the doctors hold is amazing. I got to know so much new information about me and my body. My Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Athulya and Dr. Arun have been great
My personal favorite is Dr. Athulya, she is amazing and I could easily relate to her. She was very detailed in explain the procedures and its outcome. She was always available whenever we would have any questions. From deep down from my heart I would like to thank each and every person who made me and my uncle aunties stay amazing. Especially for my uncle. May Vaidyagrama continue impacting people life in positive way.

My first trip to India and my first trip to Vaidyagrama was beyond my imaginings.
To combine care, medical knowledge and compassion from housekeeping to founders, shows a truly exceptional organization.
I was served excellent a fresh food, a medicine diagnosed using a deep knowledge of the body.
Special thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Mini for a strong team of intellect and discernment for my many physical and emotional needs.
Dr. Harikrishnan like a cool pond that sees deeply-spirit and care.
Dr. Mini - like a flowing river that bends and offers love as the force.
Both with a space that allows for many variations. The housekeeping staff were so attentive and curing as were the therapists.
I am stronger and know myself better. What place could offer so much all with spirit?

Thank you for finding space for me at such short notice when it is your busiest time of the year. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to have one more panchakarma before the surgery (if needed to have it).
Thank you for the warmth and kindness of everyone at Vaidyagrama, but a very special thank you to shiny who works such long hours, looking after us all. shiny has such good and beautiful nature. I feel very lucky to have her as as a therapist
And lastly, thank you for the great opportunity to remind myself of what is important to have the space to reflect and relays. I always struggle to keep the strength alive, once I am back home, but I will keep trying - and at last I can always come back.

Dear friends at VG
This has been my third visit along with my mother and brother. It is always remarkable. We have been organising the whole year schedule to make for our annual visit from Canada.
One cannot say in words about the evident guidance for our physical emotional and spiritual wellbeing given by all the doctors. Their own humble Lifestyle, discipline and commitment to services is inspirational.
It is amazing to see how the community has grown with more young doctors and therapist joining the family the intentionality of creating harmony with environment and villages around. The extension of nurturing and caring elevates personal healing to greater responsibility. I feel I learnt so much hear each time I come. The After effect reflects in each aspect of life.
I feel truly blessed to receive the gift of VG and all those who make it possible.

To everyone at Vaidyagrama,
Thank you for all the care and support over the last 3 weeks. To give the great Ayurvedic treatment that you do here is already an amazing thing, to compare it with the spiritual environment and learning is even more special and beneficial, but the true blessing comes with the love and heart felt care that accompanies each consultation and treatment. Am truly grateful for all that I have received.
In addition to the personal interaction, am truly inspired by the bigger community vision and intention to give back that Vaidyagrama Champions and is looking to implement.
May God give blessings and swift passages to all those intentions.
With much gratitude

Thank you to everyone in the vaidyagrama community. After last year I discovered so much. “LIVING WITH NATURE” and have benefited so much health wise and in general awarness. I was imperative that I return was not an option. I have felt really wonderful since being here and it has been another very positive healing/learning experience for me. Two things I wanted to say. First this time i was really affected by the mosquitoes and second one I felt the canter is crowded with patients that is some tension. I neverthless want to say thank you to the whole team and will share the positiveness of this place with all. I am very blessed to have been treated so well. Love and Happiness to everyone.

This is my second visit to the lovely place, Vaidyagrama. I spent a peaceful and useful 2 weeks under the able and professional care of Dr. Ramanandan and his team of dedicated doctors and therapists, particularly Dr. Aishwarya and Dr. Arun. They took very good care, receptive to the inputs given to them and gave suitable treatment which I would say was very relieving and satisfying. I am much better physically and mentally than I was on reaching Vaidyagrama. I had interactions with other doctors also and their friendly informative talk was very illuminating on the subject. Special mention about Dr. Ramanandan as he heard and explained each and every query, doubt or problem that was told to him by me, which was by itself refreshing.
Happy to have been in Vaidyagrama.
Thank you

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Firstly, I am so glad to have my first stay at Vaidyagrama for 10 days. I really appreciate I had this opportunity. Even though my stay was limited, I feel my body was purified and gained energies for future. Consulting with doctor removed my anxiousness and made me to take the treatment positively.
One day Dr Ramadas talked to me. That talking with me was neither his work nor duty, he is enjoying the conversation with patients. That’s the way of thinking and how to deal with my things. But this is really difficult in reality. In the hospital no patients tend to have doubt or anxiousness.
Doctor here was very close to us every day and had Satsang as well, these supports were very well appreciated. Treatments and therapists are all nice and very hard working. I also respected the work of housekeeping; facility was always kept clean and greenery is well maintained.
It was a great circumstance to feel relaxed and see inside of myself besides the treatment. I think I will remember this peaceful scenery for sometime, and want to come back.
Thank you again for everything!

My stay at Vaidyagrama for 3 weeks has been very rewarding inspite of some trying moments in between. Ultimately my colon ulcer symptoms have been greatly reduced, and I am returning much healthier, happier and satisfied.
I sincerely thank all the doctors, assistants and supporting staff for making my stay successful and comfortable. No one person can be singled out – they all contributed to my wellbeing with their overall care and concern.
The stay was enriched by the excellent and peaceful environs, the friendly interactions I had with other residents and the lively group activities. Of course, the sacred and devotional programs shall always resonate and inspire me.
All in all, it was true Ayurvedic holistic healing of the mind, body and soul.
Thank you very much!
Warm regards,

Thank you for all your kindness, gentleness, understanding and support on these three weeks journey, and I take your dedication and motivation with me through the nourishing phase.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
I thank you so much for the experience I have received, I came to Vaidyagrama with an open mind not knowing about Ayurveda medicine, healing, and treatments. When I arrived, I felt absolutely amazing. On my last day I have lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks. Conquered my addiction for smoking, and my mindset has also changed to the way I should be eating and preparing food for myself. I am ever so grateful for all you have done for me. I will never forget my experience here and would like to thank doctors and staff for everything they have done for me.

Thank you for all your care and patience. I feel I have received a great care. I feel privileged to be able to come to such a place and receive such healing. I was dismayed as I first didn’t have a room that I have previously booked. Better to have a computerised booking system. Treatments needs to be more consistent among the therapists, may be fortnightly workshops, where they practice on each other. Some therapists need to be sensitive to the body type of the patient and adjust style accordingly. Overall, I had a great experience of Vaidyagrama and see it a special healing place.
Thanks again Dr Athulya, thank you so much for looking after me so well. Hope to see you all again.

I have to do a very interesting thing here. I turned my bed to pillow in the program and I'm amazed with the results, my stiffness and muscle and joint pain has resolved. I'm sorry I won't take the kashayam. Dr. Ramanandan was very patient with me and I appreciate that because it helped me to settle in. I also liked Dr. Athulya and her arm- chair-side manner. She was very kind and understands my inability to remember what happened yesterday i.e., bowels, appetite etc.
My therapist works very kind and understanding, which help me at my treatment. My stay here was excellent.

Hi everyone, I am so happy to say that my second time here was just as magical and amazing as the first time two years ago. I brought my father, I am very pleased to say, is so much improved on so many levels. Just for that, I am so grateful to Vaidyagrama. He is like a new man again. As usual the time here is full of mixed experiences ups and downs, such is the process of deep healing. Yet always my doctors and therapists and the staff tirelessly and selflessly offered assistance I needed. A very heartfelt thank you to my wonderful doctors, The Incredible Dr. Ramanandan and the ever-patient, caring Dr. Athulya with whom I have really healed so much, especially in Dr. Ramanandan's absence.
As I remember from my last experience, I simply put my trust in doctors and their expertise in my treatment and that is all I needed. My experience was yet again so rewarding on so many levels. I lost some weight, which was getting very unhealthy. I am sleeping much better. My overall life being is upbeat and my mind is clear. I feel lighter in my body and mind which is amazing. In the end there is so much for which I am eternally grateful for. Too much to mention, but my experience here has been nothing short of awesome.
A few notes I am happy to say my Mandala drawings each day were my saving grace and I am happy to share them with the community. I will post the pictures to the Vaidyagrama community on facebook when I get back home.
A shout out to the ghee gang this year Mark, Atreya, Peter, Mike, Nick the king, Glynn, Tamara and all the brothers and sisters who share their experience. "In ghee we trust"!
Thank you, Vaidyagrama.
I will keep you in my heart until we meet again.
Many blessings of light and love!

My heart is full and my mind at peace as I leave Vaidyagrama. Am so grateful that I trusted the universe and decided to come here after a friend recommended Vaidyagrama. Everything about this place exceeds my Expectations. Having studied Ayurveda over the past year, it was the perfect place to depend my knowledge and experience.
First hand from the sources, what is Ayurveda!
Thank you to everyone that made this experience memorable. I will remember the kindness from all, the most.
Much love,

Thank you dear Vaidyagrama team!
All the doctors, the therapists, the staff for the wonderful treatments and for taking care!
The energy in Vaidyagrama is exceptional - in tune with nature + environment. Vaidyagrama is a team working together with a beautiful positive energy. There were many moments of laughing with Dr. Ramadas.
I am impressed about the concept of Vaidyagrama!
I am leaving, very inspired to continue Ayurvedic life style and will come back, maybe to try creating a cultural exchange with our students in Switzerland and here.
Thank you all very much!

Vaidyagrama was a great heaven for me. I came exhausted, not very well and I was softened with the kind words of doctors, the relaxing treatments and the atmosphere. The phone did not ring, the internet did not work everywhere, so all in all I could rest and relax. I enjoyed the satsang, the discussion and conversation that we had - on the body, the health and what is good for body and mind.
I have been very impressed with Vaidyagrama. The therapists were warm and lovely, the doctors very attentive, Dr Arun and Dr.Athulya have been absolutely patient with all my questions. Dr Ramkumar is inspiring, Dr Ramanandan is absolute wonderful healer who one can trust and respect. Dr. Ramdas is great too, reminds me of a South Indian film hero. His energy is so calming. He first smoothened me when I arrived by looking at my reports and test.
I wish everyone the very best. I thank each and every one who has helped me to sit and relax while I have been here.

This is an impressive place I have had treatments I could not have dreamt of if I tried, and I have been made up of 90% ghee in every cell. I am particularly impressed with the way this place has come together and the philosophy that holds it together.
The treatment itself has brought up a lot, and I am so curious to see how the next month unfold.
Thank you Dr. HariKrishnan for your quiet, powerful presence and easy smile, deep knowledge and kind, wise words. Dr Mini, thank you for your skill, warmth, patience and rich humanity. Lakshmi is the queen of the treatment room and a beloved presence, and I am so impressed with Anju only 2 years here, and so strong and skills. And I was blessed with a smiling, beautiful angel who came to my room daily to clean and take care. I have got such a lot of Satsangs and loved the poojas. Thank you to Aman for always smiling and blessing us with his sweetness. I will miss the orchestra of birds' song and watching all the wildlife and the beauty. Do well and keep it up!

Always a pleasure to be back home! To be back among people in whom such kindness and integrity abounds, people who can inspire us to stretch our limits and inspire towards a cleaner, more harmonious life.
Thank you Dr. Ramanandan and your team of Dr Athulya and Dr. Arun for your strength and wise guidance, and the incredible team of therapists headed by the amazing Devaki, Mridula, Anita, Lavanya, Radhika and Sameena. You took care of us in the therapy room as well of as our food needs and request for hot water in the oddest of hours.
I take back precious memories of Dr Ramdas's melodious chants and the inhale exhale rhythmically. Thank you Dr Ramkumar deeply for the philosophical satsangs, and all the amazing team in office and the kitchen who have all together made it a memorable stay.
Till next year, a big thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope to stick to the regimen you have advised and will come back new year with my vata pitta kapha in better balance.
Lots of love,

I appreciate the attentive good care given by everyone here. I always felt that I was being watched over and was very confident in the expertise and depth of knowing.
With that said, I wonder if the staff could be responsive to the words ‘come in’ or ‘enter’ I’ve spoken at many times and no one seems to get it! There seems to be a lot of shyness around entering the patient room… a small point!
Thanks much! This place is great!

We are happy with the treatment, massages and medicines. Dr Harikrishnan and Dr Mini are very good and loving and they took care of us. We are happy with the Temple, the way they do Pooja and homams, and we feel very good. Even staff is also very good. All doctors and therapists are very good. They treat us very well. I am happy with the Ayurveda care here.

As I pack to leave from here today after 14 days of peaceful and restful stay, I can't help but feel gratitude for having the opportunity to have this healing experience.
Dr Ramadas and Dr. Sajna, thank you for your compassionate and kind care, thank you for sharing your wisdom, time and attention during our stay here.
I have gratitude for Dhanya for taking good care, day after day without any break.
I am thankful to Jaya who cleaned the room and collected laundry and address your concerns for any bugs which we are not accustomed to live with anymore in USA.
So thankful to the kitchen staff for preparing our meals three times a day, and tea and snacks or soups. I definitely ate well.
Thank you all the staff members for their kind loving care and pampering which feel so healing.
I have gratitude for all the work that is being done for the community led by Geetha; it is such a delight to see the efforts to teach and reach out to the community. I wish her luck for opening the girl’s school and other projects.
Thanks to Aparna and Sonia for organising a stay here and for arranging the tour.
Thanks to the staff of front office and back office for arranging all the services with a smile, and lastly thanks to all the staff we didn't get into interact but we know that this place wouldn't run smoothly without you all.

I came here ignorant and left with knowledge for the rest of my life.
Thanks to the compassionate staff and doctors. I felt very welcome here and very at ease.
I cannot think of a better environment to heal and learn. I agree with the principle of "simple". It helps a person figure out what is important. A special huge thank you to Dr. Ramanandan. I absolutely was successful because of the wisdom and compassion and intelligence of Dr. Athulya. She is best and also special person.
Thank you to my favorite therapist Abhila.

Being my first time in Vaidyagrama and I'm doing panchakarma, I can happily say it was a wonderful and eye-opening experience. I'm glad I got to do it here at Vaidyagrama. It is truly a place with great intention and it really comes through in all the staff how they are caring, kind and super attentive. The satsangs were very helpful and insightful. Talking to other patients helped through process, and was good to get to know like-minded people from different parts of the world.
I will definitely be back and will spread the word and the details of Vaidyagrama's aim and goals because it is such a wholesome and beautiful project that the world could use more of, not only the healing but all the other parts of this life project.
Thank you to everyone for the collective care.

Thank you again for looking after us so splendidly!
As you know we arrived after some very sad family news and Nasim caught up a painful ailment on the way. I apologize for my short temper which I feel was caused by the above circumstances. Now we head home to East Africa, a lot more rested, healed and in better harmony.
Thank you again to all of you and especially the lead doctors.

Coming to the place with an open-ended mind, I have nothing but my bro in law's drastic change in his life to go by.
What a wonderful experience. Losing weight was only ideal to the lifestyle change and the relax mind.
The doctors and therapists were wonderful, kind and interested in my progress.
Thank you so much. Special shout out to Ratheesh, Sooraj, Santhosh, Radhika, Abhila and Akina for all of their patience and good humour.
Dr. Athulya and Dr. Ramanandan helped me every step of the way.
Cheers to everybody!

Thank you everyone at Vaidyagrama to have made our stay of 19 days so memorable. Special thanks to the doctors Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini, Dr.Harikesh for being patient and always around.
Most authentic place for having Ayurvedic treatment, environment is so peaceful and all the people also caring and loving. Amazing visit to the Balagrama (home for children), Nivrittigrama (home for elderly).
Satsangs were very informative, specially by Dr Ramkumar who is the founder of this place. He has so much knowledge and despite his busy schedule takes out time to speak to everyone and clarify doubts in any subject. Food is very well designed; some people make complaints, but it is the right food (satvic). It has a lot of flavor. I am definitely coming back with a group of friends to let them experience Ayurvedic way of living.

Thank you for having us especially at such short notice, and then even arranging the extension of 3 days. The extension goes to show that the experience has been memorable. Everyone from the therapists to the housekeeping and most importantly the doctors have been patient, friendly and helpful. The afternoon satsangs have been very knowledgeable I have found a new favorite herbal tea here, hopefully this will get me over my milk, tea and coffee habits.
I have learnt simple and healthy eating habits from Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini and Dr.Harikesh. Thank you! for all the help and guidance. I had come with complaints of frequent mouth ulcers, shoulder pain and knee pain. I go back feeling a lot better with no occurrence of above in past 3 weeks. I am sure I will be back soon, if not for treatment, then just for 5 to 7 days getaway.

What an experience this has been. I have let go of old patterns that no longer serve me, and eagerly wait to go home and explore. There have been many highs and lows and I feel humbled by my time here. Though my stay here has been short, I feel transformational energy which was subtle but powerful, I thank everyone at Vaidyagrama for the time of healing with all of you.

My wife and I have been coming to Vaidyagrama since last eight years and after being looked after so well we feel we are rejuvenated. I can say so, as we are in our late 80’s!!! Our thanks to Dr. Hari Krishnan and his team of young doctors who looked after us so well with their care and attention, especially when we were under the weather. Our thanks also to the therapists and the staff who have been so kind and helpful.
Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Ramadas followed our care too during our stay. Last but not least, Dr. Ramkumar who had the Vision of this center, and who is now embarking on a greater objective which will bring benefits to nearby villages.
With our thanks and good wishes to you all,

My deepest gratitude to all the loving and caring doctors, therapists and staff members of VG for providing such a wonderful satvik healing atmosphere,
I consider myself very fortunate that such a place exists in the modern world and that I got to come here for my physical and spiritual healing.
This trip has been particularly good and I am returning with a lot of optimism. I have also benefited a lot from a spiritual perspective, had a number of insights about my mind and my Prakrti which are causing some of the health issues.
I want to specially thank Dr. Harikumar for not giving up on me when I have sleep issues and acidity continuously for so many days. I hope to apply the lessons I have learnt hear through doctors counselling and Satsangs in my daily life so that I can fulfil my Dharma and achieve my life's mission.
With sincere thanks and much gratitude.

I cannot thank enough my therapists Dhanya, Indu, Kalpana especially Dhanya for her continuous, conditional and cheerful services and presence. I am inspired by her diligence and duty consciousness ...God bless her.
Grateful to the cleaning staff for keeping the room and premises clean.
I take back the memory of the friendly and smiling faces.
Aparnaji, your immediate response to my desperate request to be accommodated here during this period has made this possible for my husband and my healing. Your warm friendliness and reaching out to people may be cherished always.
Activities at Vaidyagrama were wholesome, soulful and great learning experience especially the Satsangs.
We wish for the growth and wellbeing of this awesome place through our prayers and blessings.
Last and the most important, the food and medicines. I heartily thank all those who made it possible for the divinely cooked food arrived at the table many at time in a day, and the carriers of the food, Kashayam, soups, fruits etc.

Dr Ramadas, Dr Harikumar, Dr Sajna, Dr Renjisha are compassionate, have a lot of love and care and very knowledgeable. The treatment is exceptional. I feel light, energetic and motivated. I follow the guidelines of Ayurveda.
Satsangs by Dr Ramkumar, Dr Ramadas and Dr Ramanandan were very informative, the principles of Ayurveda were very easily explained.
Therapist are also very talented in administrating the panchakarma. Therapist Libin is exceptionally good.
I wish to thank all garden staff and cleaning staff for their services; also the kitchen staff for the excellent food served timely at our homes deserve all praise and also gratitude.

This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama. I was little apprehensive before coming, how am I going to stay alone and what treatment would they do. Since this is also my first Ayurvedic treatment.
The doctors here, Dr Ramanandan, Dr Aishwarya, Dr Anupama and the therapists Vaishnavi, Mridula are all so caring. Never once felt out of place or missed family.
The treatment given has relieved me of the continuous low back pain which I have had for months. Had tried all sorts of treatments, but of no use. This was my last resort and proved to be a God given boon.
What can I say about the place – so beautiful and serene, it’s a beautiful resort for wellbeing and rejuvenation.
Thank you to all doctors and therapists again.

The doctors, Therapists and staff are extremely caring and thoughtful.
Dr.Ramadas and his team are amazing healers. My mind is clear and my body is on its path to recovery!
Thank you for making a skeptic like me believe that small changes can lead to a greater good.
Keep up the good work rest assured I will be back whenever I need a little extra loving care.
Thank you

I have had a wonderful stay here, thank you so much for the care and attention you so generosity give.
You staff is a delight, and the doctors so caring and reassuring.
Blessing to you all.
Please improve the food. For those of us that are new to Panchakarma it is difficult to eat and makes the treatments harder to manage.
Keep growing yourself so well!

Dear team Vaidyagrama,
I came here not knowing what to expect and it's surprised my expectations with your authenticity in your treatments and bringing me back to traditional routines and habits that I had steared away from.
The food was clean, creative and although simple, felt wholesome and full of Prana.
For me rice kanji was the challenge but after learning its goodness I will try include it in my diet.
Personal big thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr.Neethu, Dr.Mini .
Dr Harikesh made me feel safe in his care and shared some insights that I will try to follow and imbibe. Gratitude to Dr Neethu - sweet cheerful and friendly but also means business when it comes to her work. Thank you doctor (loved the smile)
Dr Mini is so easy to talk to and comforting and made me feel settled here and her husband’s yoga nidra is something I looked forward to.
The therapists are so special - Sreeshma, Salini, Deekshita thank you for taking such good care of me and making me feel like a child again.
The dedication and passion is seen so strongly in the Founder doctor, team of doctors therapists, housekeeping, maintenance and staff each person is soft spoken, polite, clean and compassionate. The human spirit is of highest value here. The Karma yogi fellow residents were all a delight.
If there is a downside I would say the weather and first two days of adjusting to fall into the new regime here. I enjoyed the Satsangs, Pooja, group dinners and the late evening chitchat session in the breeze. I didn't get the name of the housekeeper but she was lovely. So much warmth wherever she met me and so sincere with her work.
The special creativity of the kitchen for the group dinner was the highlight for me the yam cutlet. I had almost given up on yam. The entertainment was heart-warming. Doctors and all the staff sound like professional singers. The trust work being undertaken is impressive, such selfless acts of high magnitude with desire to aim higher and crazy effort by Geetha - hats off for bringing all that you have brought to reality in a short 6 years. It’s unbelievable on hearing but she gave a guided tour which made it believable and what made it special was to see your passion for it. Great experience I will cherish.
Best wishes and much gratitude

To everyone at Vaidyagrama
The first three days here were tough going and my wife and I did think about going back. But better sense prevailed, thank god we stayed back.
My wife and I feel so much better both mentally and health wise and have realised the benefits of moderation.
The staff, the doctors, the therapist are personally caring which is very heart-warming.
Special thank you to Dr. Neethu, Dr.Mini and Dr. Harikrishnan.
At first we were counting the days when we would leave Vaidyagrama and now that the time has already come there is a sadness one feels when one is leaving a home.
Thank you all at Vaidyagrama for pointing us in the right direction and my wife and I hope that we can walk the right path.
Much love and warm regards.

My four weeks stay was a very good experience for me. All the doctors and therapists were always helpful and kind. I was also very happy about all the satsangs, which gave me a better understanding of Ayurveda.
I’m also very impressed by the efforts undertaken to live in tune with nature by applying sustainable methods wherever possible and also being an integral part of the greater community outside of Vaidyagrama.
In future I think it would be great if it was easier to follow the most beneficial diet here during the treatment, i.e. no Jaggery in the tea, less salt and pepper etc.
Also I think the organization could be improved and may be introduce more standardized practices to ensure that the quality remains high.
Thank you all for making my time here at Vaidyagrama such a wonderful experience!
Wishing you all the best for the future and I hope our paths will cross again.
With gratitude,

Vaidyagrama is really growing for the betterment of human beings in true sense.
Doctors, both seniors and juniors, therapists, housekeeping people and everybody is so nice and carrying out their duties honestly and religiously.
Activities like satsang and others are also an important component for understanding of Ayurveda and the healing of the patients.
Respective doctors meet their patients on daily basis and address their issues keenly and fix the treatments accordingly.
It is truly an abode of wellness.
Thanks and regards,

Thank you all for such a nourishing rejuvenating experience here at Vaidyagrama for these three weeks every day was filled with love, Indhu’s calm and reassuring professionalism made me so comfortable during my vasti days. Dhanya’s consistency and efficiency was always helpful and Prema’s abhyanga / dinacharya treatment on my last day was so loving and sent me off with the most joyful heart.
I always appreciated Dr Sajna’s thoroughness and careful consideration of my questions. Dr Ranjisha was also so willing and helpful and of course Dr Ramadas with his loving infectious love and good cheer made every consultation medicinal and nourishing. Dr Harikumar also took time to speak with me and share his guidance for healing which was so helpful. The housekeeping staff was delightful and friendly keeping our home away from home beautiful and clean. Hakeem and Keerti always friendly and smiling even while so busy behind the scenes. Thank you also to Megha, Athira and Archana also attended to my body with love and care. All the therapists were lovely.
This place continues to be most important place I come to do my own healing. Surrounded by nature and these caring souls, my soul is nourished and my mind remembers how to be a team member on this project of healing. Thank you for holding and protecting this precious intention for all of us. It is important, so important work that you all do in the middle of this busy modern world thank you for helping me slow down and remember.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Thank you so much for the healing experience. This is the longest period that I am away from my family and an amazing experience to be with myself and with my body. I have learnt that our body is a god’s gift and we can’t mess with it by putting anything in it. Here I understand about my body, the food we eat, drink, all matters .I thank each and every person for their kind hospitality from reception, maintenance staff and staff which gives us medicine and food time to time hats off to them. In the morning 6 a.m. they used to give us medicine, then Tea etc. Thank you so much too. Thank you so much to Dr Ramadas , Dr Harikumar , Dr Sajna, Dr Sivajothi, and Dr Ranjisha for taking immense care of me .
Thank you Aparna ji and Geethaji for your cooperation and guidance.
Big thanks to the therapist Kalpana and Geethu. I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to be here the stay in Vaidyagrama made me change my personality. Vaidyagrama continue to grow in its strength by the grace of God.
Thanking you and best wishes,

Thank you team Vaidyagrama! I had not dreamed of this place being so beautiful in every aspect. Truly felt that my body is a temple here. Taking back with me healing on all levels, body, soul, mind, emotion and intellect.
Intend to come back soon for 21days treatment.
Deepest gratitude to Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini, Dr.Neethu, Dr.Ramadas, Dr.Ramanandan all the therapists and entire staff who has helped me heal in this beautiful temple of healing rather than a hospital.
I loved the satsang, healing prayers, cow pooja, cooking classes, Rudrabishekam and the morning and evening prayers at the temple.
Going back very rejuvenated and with a positive frame of mind. Feeling very spiritually connected also to the entire environment at Vaidyagrama.
Wish to contribute and help in whatever way I can. God bless each and everyone here. Million thanks.

This was our first time at Vaidyagrama and we were not sure what to expect. We knew that this was a healing village - but we didn’t know what that actually meant.
However Dr.Mini + Dr. Harikrishnan, and all the staff at Vaidyagrama have taken great care of us. Not only have they taken care of our physical wellbeing, but also our mental and spiritual wellbeing too.
Everything at Vaidyagrama is conducive to healing - from the Satsang’s, treatments, festivals, workshops and the entertaining group dinners.
We have received a wealth of knowledge and useful tips to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Our heartfelt gratitude to e anyone at Vaidyagrama for making us feel comfortable and at ease. We will definitely miss everyone!
Until next time, we are excited to see how this place and community grows to help more people.

I am very grateful to everyone here at vaidyagrama for the gentle but powerful healing experience, especially to Dr Neethu for who took such care of me, was a good listener and sometimes a stern voice she is already a gifted healer and will become an even better one overtime.
I am also grateful to Dr Harikrishnan, a man of few words but with the wealth of knowledge and experience, I feel very confident he was giving me what I needed even though some of the treatments where unpleasant. The staff and therapists were also gentle, caring and expert and I am grateful to all of them. I took a magic step towards better health in this time. I have been on statins for many years .I listened to Dr Ramkumar’s satsangs so that taking a strong medicine over many years will likely harm my body, it is a point that I worried about for many times. So I decided that I will control my cholesterol via diet, exercise and healthy lifestyle instead of statins.
I am very grateful to Dr Harikrishnan for giving me a strategy for achieving this goal.
Thank you

I want to thank the doctors, for the kind and gentle care for their patience and for noticing all the small and big details and seriously taking them all into consideration.
Thank you for making me feel so safe and that i am being taken care of especially in the most challenging moments - I never felt alone
Thank you for giving me confidence in my healing journey.
Thank you Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Neethu
And also Dr Mini and Dr Harikesh.
Many thanks also to the therapists for their soft, respectful and gentle care, always with a smile during the massages and when providing all the small and big details of the daily life.
And of course to the cook, housekeeping and all other people - without them things at Vaidyagrama would not have worked so smoothly and the feeling of being at home would not have been.
I am going home with a clean and happy body with relaxed mind .With confidence on the treatments I got and in my continuous healing journey.
Thank you

This is our first time to experience Ayurvedic treatments. We did not know what to expect and how we will take the experience.
It has been an enjoyable one. Thankfully neither of us had some of those treatments which zap your energy.
Dr Ramanandan is very knowledgeable and understands how to work with different patients’ personalities. We thank him for his time and arranging treatments best suited for our needs. We also thank Dr Aishwarya, Anupama and Arun. They were always available to answer our questions. Therapists, both male and female were exceptional. Other supporting staff is also commendable.
What makes this place unique is its focus on eco-friendly environment and self-sufficiency in what they grow. Treatments are directed to the body but with morning and evening prayers, the mind and soul also gets nourished. Community surrounding also receives its share of projects in keeping with objective of harmony with nature.
It is likely that we return in the future for more rejuvenation.
Afternoon Satsang’s help the patients learn about all different things about Ayurveda, community projects and future plans. Questions and answers with Dr Ramkumar during his Satsangs were very insightful. Overall the setting is very quiet allowing for healing of body and mind.
We must acknowledge our therapists by name, Vaishnavi, Mridula, Lavanya, Devaki, Aishwarya, Lakshmi, Renjith, Suraj, Zainudheen, Santosh, Suresh, Subhash, Midhun, Libin and Ratheesh. Housekeeping Bhagyavathi was very good and took care of us.

My experience here has been transformational! I don’t really know what to except when I first arrived here, but was pleasantly surprised. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of you which make Vaidyagrama an amazing place to heal and learn about your body and mind.
I especially appreciate the encouragement I received to continue & deepen my spiritual practices, it has given me a boost of faith & conviction in what I do. I have so much to take home from this experience& I see my future looking bright and happier. To name you all individually would take a whole page to write as everybody played a role in my healing treatments here. So again thank you for everything.

Thank you doctors for sharing your experience, wisdom and knowledge through the Satsangs - i loved attending them.

Vaidyagrama is a very nice place despite the heat, however it is very pleasant place, I enjoyed the peacefulness, the birds singing and the kindness of the staff. They are sweet and nice even though we did not speak the same language.
Our doctors are very thoughtful and professional. I really enjoyed being asked how I was several times in a day.
About the food i needed a little bit of time to get used of the new dishes.

My stay has been absolutely peaceful, which means you have put my pitta in place. Lots of positive changes, and the healing village is growing slowly and steadily. I don't feel the need to say anymore as my stay here has put me on a journey to the peace with myself. Hence you all can be sure of working your magic on me. Special thanks to talk to Dr. Harikumar and Dr. Ramanandan for fine tuning my treatments which are having me observe myself closely and returned and that to maintain what I feel here. I need to make lifestyle changes...

After 21 days I got back my sense of smell, hearing in my right ear become as good as in my left. I am relaxed and hopefully slightly lighter after strict diet.
Looking forward to see you next year

Dear Vaidyagrama Family!
Once again, I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all of you from the bottom of my heart! It’s my fourth time here and I'm coming here, like to home already, and all of you are like second family for me!
Thank you for saving me again. This time I came in the worse conditions than ever; absolutely broken and lost, and I am leaving feeling myself another person even better to say - "better version of myself " than I have ever been.
I feel much calmer, more balanced, energised, optimistic, stronger and right now that's all because of your professionalism, support and love.
I am so grateful to all of you and assure myself once again that Vaidyagrama is a really special and unique place for healing physically, emotionally, spiritually! And I am so much grateful that I came here once upon a time six or seven years ago.
Every time coming here is a great journey inside to myself, finding out something new again and again.
On way travelling all over India to get acquainted with the zeal spirituality, Big and open hearts of Indian people, to love yourself, the country, purpose of life and many other things; but just came here and find out perhaps even more in, as that is a great place for knowing themselves in the first instance...
Vaidyagrama for me is a school of life and it'll take pages to describe how many lessons and knowledge I am getting here every time about my own body, mind, soul etc., how many interesting and spiritual people I meet, who give me so much of useful information and good lessons.
Thank you for your existence!
Thank you my dear Dr.Harikrishnan !!
Thank you for your patience, calmness, especially this time.
Thank you, all the doctors and therapists, for such a good care of me, for your tolerance to my changes in mood etc. Such an attentive behaviour! You all are so nice and I love you so much. Dr.Mini ! I get acquainted with you this time and for me you are a new member of this wonderful family - I want to say that I have completely fallen in love with you!!
Warmest regards, love, health and prosperity to all of you! Hope to see you soon, when I come in the state like I am leaving now, just for detox and physical maintenance purposes, and see you all again.
Your,

In this place that you have created, I finally took care of myself and it was possible for me to see how I can look after my body and soul.
Thank you very much for proving to me that the idea that I had in my mind that herbs can save lives and self-healing is possible with herbs.
I will think about all of you from my place and I will send all my good energy to you, so you people can continue the difficult work that you are doing.

This was my second time in Vaidyagrama, and it was wonderful!
Thank you to Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini, Dr.Aruna, Dr.Princess and Lakshmi, Mikita, Maya and all the cleaning staff for your big hearted care and support, and for your seriousness. Being here recalibrates the body and soul to a more healthy and sane way of being, and opens our eyes for a different loving, peaceful way of living. It always heartens me, when at cultural events, everyone sits together - doctors, patients, maintenance staff and therapists. There is no division, but it is a community.
Vaidyagrama is an example to India and to the whole world of how life together could be, including the plant and animal world.
For us westerners, it is also always a good lesson in humility, and in flexibility of mind, when things don't need to run the way we think is right. It softens us up, and it reminds us of our smallness. Also, there are always interesting other patients do meet.
One small tip (the other one I already said verbally)...
At the beginning, after arriving it could be nice at least at the first treatment session, to get introduced to the therapists, as they didn't even properly say hello. So, to say Hello, I am so and so and will be here for you doing your treatment, will be probably put many patients (like myself) at ease.
The same thing I would suggest for the doctors who may replace the doctors. If you could introduce yourself, and explain why you are suddenly interested if I had a bowel movement, it would create a safer space. We feel sometimes quite vulnerable as patients.
But that is just a detail feedback and meant from a big friend and fan of Vaidyagrama who will be back.
Big thank you to you all!

As I rest in my room on the last day of my 3 week of long treatment, my memory takes me back to the first day when I arrived here in Vaidyagrama. Very enthusiastic, positive and with strong faith to heal myself... and this feeling stays with me today when I leave this place with the same intensity.
Every time I came here my faith grows stronger in the healing power of this place. This is my third time for treatment in past 9 years and every time I am led to believe that this is the one of the most authentic Ayurveda places in the world that offers a beautiful healing environment during our stay and teaches and trains us to adopt a way of living in tune with nature.
There are no big lectures given in this but the way everything is approached here very gently and effortlessly, one is inspired to make desirable changes in one’s life on the road to wellness.
During my stay here, same time I felt this is a learning temple, at other times a healing space with regular prayers and chants. At the gross level the dedicated team of doctors and caring, loving therapists work tirelessly and attend to us and all our complaints, and at a subtle level we feel positive energy and healing vibrations flowing in from them and the prayers they perform with utmost devotion, I feel privileged to be a part of this family. The untouched beautiful nature of plants, birds and animals adds to the healing powers of this unique place. This environment keeps us close to ourselves and we feel fullness of life in spite of all our little ups and downs as a patient during the treatment.
Thank you dear Vaidyagrama family for taking care of me during my stay here. I go back healed and on road to wellness….
My special thanks and gratitude go to my reverent doctors Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar and the team of all other doctors all the kind and caring therapists specially Geethu, Kalpana and Vaishnavi and the house keeping staff and all the support service staff. Thank you all for wonderful experience!
I wish VAIDYAGRAMA and Dr. Ramkumar a beautiful journey towards serving society in its utmost honesty.

A special shout out for Shyni for her dedication and professionalism for such a young woman, she has amazing skills and was an integral part of my healing journey.
Also, Anitha - such a special caring and skilled therapist.
Thank you to all my wonderful doctors and to Shanna Tarini- karma yogi for helping me to navigate the path. She showed great friendship to a stranger.
Thank you to all the staff, Punitha for helping me with computers, receptionists, office staff and my lovely smiling lady who cleaned my room and brought me fresh sheets.

Dear Vaidyagrama team
I am really thankful for everything!
Every single person of the vaidyagrama staff made the stay very special. Here we really can relax and concentrate on our healing, on our global healing. And, even more so because seeing all the projects of punarnava, it gives a lot of new hope for a new world where values that matter find a way to exist, to change, at least to show that something else that the modern standard is possible.
Thank you for this healing, profound healing session. I hope I will visit you soon, not as a patient, but as a member of this wonderful project you are raising.
About a technical feedback, maybe arrange room and terrace so that we can hang a hammock to relax swinging, brings lightness; and possibility to have the mosquito net above the outside bed too. Therapists are wonderful but sometimes English-speaking possibility were restricted and could be a little bit confusing as well for hands-on treatment would be even better with familiar therapists - in the way, we feel very different if they are too different in their way of doing abhyangam for example.
I am grateful, please convey my thanks for the whole staff who smile and work.

Vaidyagrama was not 'love at first sight' - it was like "discomfort and difficulty" at first sight considering that for some unknown reason, I got very sick in the moment I arrive here. Probably a virus for the yellow fever vaccine I took days before coming to India.
When I arrived at Vaidyagrama I was tired, hungry and feeling very hot. It was past midnight and I was served three pieces of papaya and hot water with herbs, when I craved for a hot meal and cold water. The next 48 hours were difficult with constant pain and no energy to get out of the bed. To make it worst I did not like the food and its seasoning which is quite different to what I am used to in my country. However, the contact with the doctors and helpers plus all staff who work here was very positive from the beginning, even with all my difficulties of adaptation and almost unbearable heat.
As the time passed, I was gradually being conquered by the whole local environment. I began to adapt myself and understand the importance of a restricted diet, different from the one that I have been accustomed throughout life. Each action was coming together as a puzzle and I began to improve my energy level and the acceptance of procedures so different from the one I used to. Surely there are some aspects that can be improved such as an improvement of the available menu or even if flexibility of the seasoning of the dishes in a way that it remains still correct from an Ayurveda point of you and at the same time closer to Western standards.
But in general, I leave with a very positive impression of the attentive and committed people here, always concerned with the welfare of the patient. Also fascinated with the design full of beautiful story of an extraordinary wealth of spirits. I was conquered little by little with great affection and commitment of everyone in Vaidyagrama. I am leaving in 2 days, only satisfied and grateful to this extraordinary experience that will certainly contribute to my life from here... thank you to each one of you!

Thank you for the healing center for the good food, excellent care, air and warm kind people of this place. After little more than a week, i learned a lot about how to care better for myself.
The morning and evening prayers were very illuminating.
Generally it is very hot here in this month, so wished if it might have been a cooler and I might have stayed longer.
Thanks to all the staff in this hospital. Also, the oil and water treatment here was awesome.

A week has just passed. It was a very nice experience, the staff is very cooperative and humble, and all doctors are very knowledgeable, supportive and very humble - I am looking forward to come again. Surroundings are so beautiful and serene.
A big thank you to all for love and care you all gave to us - thank you, thank you all.
It was difficult to initially remain without phone connection in silence, but got used to it and felt good. Food was excellent and I got used to it.

I, being an Indian, had some knowledge of well-known Kerala Ayurveda healing process.
On reaching Vaidyagrama, I was pleasantly surprised by its location nestled with variety of trees, showing nicely built clinical facilities and rooms for patients.
As desired most, staff and patients were maintaining silence against background music provided by many seen and unseen birds.
I came for Ayurveda healing treatment, against an advice to avail allopathic treatment with known side effects. I can’t say with certainty that the healing treatments given to me has completely cured me, but I had a good experience and confidence that the authentic Ayurveda treatment given to me here has helped me to understand the changes that are essentially required to live healthy and happy life.
Food provided here is not as spicy, as we had back home but then i realized its essentiality.
Overall it was an amazing and enlightening experience worth presenting for a life time.
I place on record my sincere thanks to all the doctors, staff and co patients for making my stay memorable.
Special thanks to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Aishwarya for constantly monitoring my days here with timely help, advice and assurance.

First of all, I thank the doctors who treated me namely Dr.Ramanandan, Dr.Mini, Dr.Arun and Dr Neetu and Dr Princess Lucy. These doctors had given me the treatment and made me stand and counter any disease in future. They had treated me with care, as I had been taking treatment at a very distant place and away from my family. The surrounding of the hospital is so good and carefree, and there is no fear of anything. I also felt attached to the in-house cats and dogs, they became so friendly with me. Special mention should go to Dr.Mini ji who took care of me like anything and came early and leave late from duty just because of me.
With this I thank Vaidyagrama and everybody attached and associated with it.
In future I will advise my friends back home to come to Vaidyagrama at least once in life and become fresh and rejuvenate themselves. I will upload all the videos and photo on YouTube channel to reach out to many people of the world.
Thanks

To the Vaidyagrama family,
What a gift every moment has been to be here and experience Ayurveda with such a passionate and loving team of doctors, therapists and staff.
Each and every one of you and the energy you put in to all you do truly creators a magical environment. You have created a space in which patients truly learn to self-heal through all the effects, to making our stay as nourishing as possible. I have learnt the true meaning.
My practices of real rest (mind +body) and intuitiveness (through learning to be a patient and pay attention without worry or stress). Many people can speak of these things but here you are providing an opportunity for everyone to truly tune into ourselves (mind, spirit, soul and body...Every part of our body) and with all that is around us (nature and other beings), you given me the gift of understanding being present at a new level. Finding that has no doubts. Powerful gift that has will to even change my life. You have impacted my mind-set, how I see life myself and how I commit to being more mindful of choices I make to honour my life and this wonderful universe and all its blessings. My medicine here was more than just treatments, medicinal concoctions from the earth. It was being able to action a new way of living and connecting all that’s in my every being into what I am actually doing. This what you choose every day is changing the world. There are no words to express how grateful I am to all of you.
I came here thinking my 7 days may be too short and that I would learn about Doshas ha..ha..haaa. What I have realized is it was exactly what I needed. I am still not exactly sure about the Doshas. BUT what I have taken away is Ayurveda is not a universal black + white rulebook. It is a way of life, prospecting a devotion to oneself to stay in tuned, present connected and thus that trust, faith, nature within us around us will naturally give us the time and answers we need. How filling, my last day is on happy vishu festival!
There is no coincidence as this makes the day I leave, but also start my devotion and practice to continue to self-love and heal. Also fitting that this morning after prayer, I found a seed on my balcony.
I feel it symbolizes the wisdom you have planted and given to me and today makes the time for me to continue to nourish these gifts and allow it to grow. I was asked what my expectations were with only 7 days here on my first day – I said to learn. Not only have I learnt, but my life has been transformed.
Thanks to the doctors for their wisdom generosity, the therapists who are incredibly nurturing and the housekeeping and reception staff that allow us not to worry, and to relax in such beautiful place. I LOVE YOU!
Thank you. (Especially Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Sajna, therapists- Prema, Archana and Anjali). I will forever have you in my heart

I came here as a bundle of nerves and body aches; joints paining, mind was clogged, and belly upset.
Now after 20 days my heart is filled with love from the many beautiful souls that look me in, touched me, fed me nourishing and delicious food, calmed my mind and gave peace to my body; Created this space where all doctors are always open and hugged me.
The many joyous birds that greeted the days.
This place is an oasis for body, mind and spirit.
Filled with gratitude, I look up to the clouds and they know the way!

Thank you to Vaidyagrama for bringing the science of Ayurveda into my life. This is my second time doing panchakarma here. The environment physical, community, healing, learning, ethical, spiritual and relaxing is a model that inspires one to live a good life.
The encouragement to continue our healing (with medicines and information to take back home) is so much appreciated.
I am leaving here, feeling relaxed, blessed and inspired.
Thank you again, to every single person in this special place.

I really appreciate everything and everyone here during this stay. I feel supported during the whole process and was really impressed by the simplicity and authenticity in the treatment approach, yet it is so profound. So much joy even in talking about pooping and bleeding.
There were moments I felt treatment was not effective and doubts arouse, however all doctors were so patient and wise to clear everything up. I learnt so much from my body, the treatments and interactions with each one here. I hope to visit again, with others in need as well.

This being my second experience with Vaidyagrama, was a very good one. I sincerely thank the doctors, therapist and all the staff for such a pleasant stay. Doctors were truly caring, attentive and patient enough to hear everything we could like to share. They were checking on my health and wellbeing close to 10 times a day during my snehapana and virecana. Next the therapist especially Dhanya was a true blessing. She would cater to all of our request always with a smile. Thanks to all the therapist for this wonderful massage. You guys do an awesome job and are the backbone of Vaidyagrama. Housekeeping and other staff did their best to make our stay pleasant one here. Doctors are truly friendly and care so much on the wholesome recovery or rejuvenation of the person. Dr Hari Kumar, Dr Renjisha & Dr Sajna are the best.
Thanks a lot for the experience! I had come with my kiddo; was scared of how she was going to manage the food and ambience but she loved the people here. All of them were friendly and took care of her like their own daughter. My mom loves this place and had a peaceful stay. Thank you each one of you, the staff of Vaidyagrama for being so accommodative and caring.

It is now the end of my 4 weeks stay here and I am feeling so grateful. The healing space exists here. Now I came with a collection of some mild complaints that felt to me the beginning of more serious things to come if I hadn’t found a way to heal them. As a practicing nurse at a hospital in the West, I know that most providers/doctors would not see my symptoms as anything to be concerned about. My guess would be lack of awareness the education (or lack thereof) they receive. Unless symptoms are evident enough to be diagnosed, they didn’t have the understanding to know what is really going on.
Ayurveda and panchakarma is such a gift. I feel blessed that all the signposts in my life have led me here. Though there were some difficult moments with a couple of treatments ((Drinking ghee, purgation, vasti). Feel so much like lighter and creative then when I arrived. All my symptoms have decreased felt well cared for by the Doctors and their staff. I loved the food and learnt so much by the satsangs, the easy example short to us on how to making a daily routine how to teach how to feel it is with a simpler lifestyle in tune with the rhythm of life and just thank you for opening and leaving this teachings so beautifully. May all be blessed by this light.

I have come back here much stronger after last year treatment session in Vaidyagrama to continue my journey to heal my body. I could better appreciate the skills and talent of Dr Ramanandan who has given treatments and dosages that are exactly right for each patient and his conditions. Thus, I received stronger treatment and feeling better overall. I could enjoy more with the beautiful healing environment and birds singing. This year I was able to feel better with Inner myself and build intentions to do more for self even come back home. Doctors are very attentive and reachable even if they are taking day off, sorry to disturb you Dr Ramanathan and thanks again for your time. Dr.Arun was also very patient answering multiple questions. Beautiful and helpful therapists Shiny and Anita, thank and god bless this people and peace
Real professional Ayurveda is here.

Thank you to everyone at Vaidyagrama for making my time here so beautiful and peaceful. You have created a healing heaven, away from the maternal world we all find our self's in. You have given me the space immersed in nature to get back in touch with myself. The care from the doctors and therapists are wonderful and made me feel cared of. Waking up to the sound of birds every morning. Walking around the beautiful complex and just had the time to be. This will be mixed but through your Satsangs you have given me the light to develop my practice to that I can take the healing process along with me.
Huge thanks to Dr.Ramanandan and Dr.Arun for their tentative care and treatment plans

Our stay at Vaidyagrama was short this time, just 10 days. In spite of that we have recovered from the minor complaints we came with.
The devotion and attention we got from the doctors,
Dr. Ramanandan Dr. Anupama Dr. Siva Jyothi was amazing. Even the housekeeping and gardening etc are taken well care of.
The therapist Devaki has magical fingers, I have got used to her massage since last 3 years and the two girls who assist her were also good. The food has improved a lot over the years
Our best wishes to Vaidyagrama in the coming years

Being at Vaidyagrama has been an intensely enlightening experience from realising the amount of rubbish we ingest and impose within our bodies to the constant rushing around to make life worthwhile. Here I came to stand still surrounded by compassion and care. A big thank you to Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini and all the therapists and staff. Thank you for your time, your patience and your deep compassion.
God bless each one of you with much love and prayers.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
After my first visit to Vaidyagrama, I truly feel that humanity is incredibly blessed that a place like this exists. An oasis of natural healing in a world that is making so many of us sick. And really, it is the people that make vaidyagrama so special. I have never felt so cared for and supported in my entire life. Within a few days of being here, I was already convinced that i will return. I am deeply grateful to all of the staff, therapists and doctors who assisted me on this journey of healing. The combination of expert knowledge of this ancient science of life, with an environment carefully constructed to soothe the entire being and an attitude of loving kindness that is tangible on all levels, allowed me to finally surrender and trust in the healing process. I have always appreciated that the body has an intimate ability to heal itself and that Ayurveda seeks to facilitate that natural power. Unfortunately, after various traumatic experiences involving allopathic medicine, I had deep seated fears of medical professionals and illness in general. When my health issues re-surfaced five years ago, the allopathic system was unable to help, so i turned to homeopathy and naturopathy, but even after many rounds of treatment and despite what i believed to be healthy diet and lifestyle, including daily yoga practice, things did not improve.Infact with each failed attempt, feelings of despair and frustration increased and the physical condition deteriorated. As I desperately tried taking more and more natural supplements, my fears that I was incurable grew and I knew that this mental and emotional state was a massive obstacle to getting better but I was struck in a vicious cycle. I arrived at vaidyagrama full of fears and distrust. This made me a difficult patient! Thankfully my doctors had just the right balance of firmness and patience. Their strength of conviction and wealth of experience enabled me to gradually trust their method and my own body. With time and space to observe my mental patterns and physical tensions, I was ultimately able to overcome them and release deep emotional pain that was feeding them and perpetuating the disease. Now, the healing begins! I cannot thank vaidyagrama enough. I firmly believe in the vision of Punarnava and I hope that all of the wonderful goals are achieved. Whenever I am able, I will lend my support and I look forward to returning someday.
All my love,

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
Each time here is precious. Being with family is nourishing and that is important to healing. Everyone helps with the healing process - the doctors, therapists, cooks, cleaners and administration. Everyone has their place in the healing process, so I am grateful to everyone. I love the natural,simple,authentically processing environment. I feel nourished by it, its special here.I also appreciate how you give us the means to help heal ourselves. The knowledge you share is the most helpful and supportive. The chanting feels healing and soothes the soul. I give thanks to the bird song, the wind in the trees, the land and all the staff, therapists and doctors for all that is given to us for our body and spirit.

I have lost track of how many times I have come to Vaidyagrama in the last 10 years. The first trip is when it had only few buildings and in process of building more. What has been consistent in all these trips over the years is the professionalism of the staff- From doctors, to therapists and general staff taking care of food and cleaning. And after every trip I leave in better shape and state of mind.
While I see more new and younger staff this time their skills and dedication to tasks and taking care of people continuous to be of high calibre.
I can’t thank enough Dr.Ramanandan for his help in guiding the treatment and now I look at him more as a friend and guide than a doctor. Nothing will be complete without acknowledging Vaidyagrama approach to include neighbourhood as part of them, for taking care of local children’s and families and always focusing on quality If life and taking care of the planet.
On the downside this was my first trip to Vaidyagrama in April and had lot of problems dealing with heat. Needless to say, I probably go back to trip in the fall. I also find myself less able to deal with food, as I go older especially 3 meals in a day mostly bland and with lots of rice. Think I may propose only breakfast and dinner on future trips with less rice.
Other area I feel frustration is the issue of reliable internet service during every trip, this year being most difficult. Hope Vaidyagrama provide more access to TV even if it is only for a few hours every day. It is difficult to be shut off from what is going on around us in this era of information age. All in all, Vaidyagrama has been a significant factor in my battle with Rheumatoid arthritis and I owe there a lot for their help over the years. Hope I get more chance to visit.

This time we came here at Vaidyagrama after about four years but we find this place good-looking as before a natural abode and an ideal healing place. Everything here right from its spiritual atmosphere calm and quiet surroundings, pollution free air, the drinking water, the food, help to cure the ailments apart from medication and therapies.
The doctors here not bosses but very friendly to the patients, the patients feel a healing touch and get a Ray of hope when they come in contact of their doctors I have special mention of Dr Ramadas, Dr Harikumar and Dr.Sajna.
Dr Ramadas is the one who is so knowledgeable, he is also a friend philosopher and guide to the patients. All therapists, kitchen and cleaning staff are well behaved always smiling and helping the office staff and are soft spoken and helping.
Vaidyagrama has been very much successful in its mission of providing healing and complete well-being to the people coming here from different parts of the globe for treatments that is also acting as an ambassador of spiritual uplifting to the world.
Vaidyagrama is contributing highly towards correcting the lifestyle of people coming into contact, thus doing great service to mankind.
Some suggestions:
Library can be organised some leading magazines may also be added
Caroms, Ludo similar mind games can be more entertaining and time pass activities.
One table tennis that will be highly appreciated.

Thank you team Vaidyagrama for bringing me back to my roots. It has been a wonderful life changing experience here. The four principles of spirituality are here in abundance. Can’t thank Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Aruna, Dr. Princess and Dr. Mini for their efforts. Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Aruna explain everything so patiently and nicely brain wash you to like kanji and green gram too. My two therapists Vidya and Sreeshma there smiling faces and patience will always remember. Pooja and satsang really calm and heal you. Taking back lots of positivity and smiles from here. The aura of this place and blessings of god Dhanwanthari make this place beautiful. Wish there is a Vaidyagrama each city.
Think about a progress for young, growing children seeing Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Aruna daughter it will be a good learning experience for children who are away from nature and in a virtual world.

My visit to Vaidyagrama has been a turning point in my life physically, spiritually and emotionally. After years of living a crazy life of unknowingly being disrespectful to my body, I have finally learnt to love and be grateful for this life and love my body and reconnect with the supreme consciousness with a positive attitude. A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan for understanding the complexity of my medical circumstance, treating us with care and gently increasing the cleansing process without aggravating too many symptoms. Thank you Dr. Harikrishnan for reconnecting me to the Bhagavad Geeta and spiritual way of living with surrender!
A special thanks to my therapists – Vaishnavi, Devaki and Akhina, your gentle and caring attitude and touch gradually helped me forget my pain from the last few years. Kudos to Dr. Ramkumar for creating a utopian healing village and bringing together a loving and happy group of people in Vaidyagrama. Thanks to the daily satsangs.I was able to understand better spirituality and the process of living an Ayurvedic life in harmony with nature. I would like to take this opportunity to make a few recommendations for future, potential expansions at Vg

VAIDYAGRAMA…!! Where do I begin..!!!
I guess from the very beginning, Dr Ramkumar, after seeing his dedication to human beings, plants, animals and the universe, I am totally “stumped”. Have never met a person like him who has dedicated his entire life to humanity and created this wonderful paradise for people like us.
I am blessed to have met him, heard his satsangs and experienced first-hand the fruits of his endeavours. Was blessed to meet his mother too- an amazing human being.
I’ll have to write in brief I’ve realised as don’t have much space this being the last page of the notebook.
Many thanks to Dr Ramanandan, and Dr Vinod who took immense care of my woes and all with a smiling face always. Their patience is much to learn from.
Dr Ramadas..!! I’ll never forget his melodious prayers twice a day – the fervour and divinity is rare to come by. Thanks to him and I have finally learnt to INHALE & EXHALE. We had some very interesting and informative satsangs with him, cleared all our doubts with a smile always.
He is blessed with a lovely daughter who dances beautifully. God bless her. I’ll miss this serenity, calm and peace of this charming place. Loved meeting travellers, walking with them, exchanging notes with them and spending these two weeks with them. I do hope to come back every year, god willing to find myself after the hustle and bustle of the city.
I think one need this “Me” time once a year definitely to connect with oneself and one’s maker.
The staff here is really dedicated and selfless in their service. I have not seen a single person frown, unhappy or impatient. No matter what the demands. Of course it all flows from the top. So kudos to all the senior doctors who founded this place and gave wings to this vision.
I do need to thank Aparna, Dr Anupama, Dr Aruna, Dr Mini and all the office staff, the lonely girl who gave me library books regularly, the charming girl I bought knicker knacker from.
Before I run out of place a very special thanks to SHINEY, who’s an amazing therapist .
See you all soon.
Sorry but I’ll sign off on this page now.
Wishing Vaidyagrama and each and every person here all the best always.

Firstly a huge thank you to all the support staff who helped make our stay so comfortable and rewarding. All of my therapist and girls looking after me were good Chandran, Vaishnavi, Cheeru, Geethu. love you all.
Thank you to you all the doctors who was so well informed when making their rounds I felt I learnt so much from those interactions as well as our Satsang’s it's such a different philosophy to allopathic doctors and is surely beneficial in future .
Please pay close attention to which room and which block you put people with disabilities.
Rooms that are closer to the prayer room and Mandapam are better. Also blocks without Steep ramp are better.
It is also a good idea to inform these patients to use treatment room bathroom in case of emergencies.
Inside chooses or equip any new bathrooms with grab bars next to the toilet.
Wash basin should be high enough to roll under but low enough for a wheelchair user to use.
Consider long handle level mixer faucets instead of knobs.
Towel racks are too high for someone sitting down.
I was given in portable commode which made my bowel moments easier.
I would recommend installing an assistant button in all the bathrooms. There are switches for the lights between the beds that I couldn't reach because the distance between the beds is too narrow.
Emergency phone numbers should be available in rooms.
I would recommend spending time teaching therapist manual handling techniques, they would try to lift me more using strength in their arms and back, instead of their legs .This made me feel unsafe and lead to a few near falls. There are informative ideas on YouTube which you can show them long term they should be learning some more English for their own futures.
Thank you for the everything love

This is my fourth visit to Vaidyagrama, so there is obviously something special about this place! All the doctors, therapists and staff are so genuine and dedicated to the Ayurveda life, that this place his became a temple of mind and body healing.
My journey is not always easy and i thank Vaidyagrama for providing an amazing environment and knowledge for healing and balancing the body. I also would like to thank them for the philosophical and spiritual understanding that one’s attitude and positive thinking plays a major role in healing and happiness.
Thank you

I admitted here for some allergic nature of my skin and went through some intensive treatments which imbalanced me Mentally, Physically and emotionally, but the care of all doctors who treated me really helped to overcome all imbalances positively.
Though I am not satisfied with the “Kanji” I am really happy that it helped me to reduce my body weight.
My mother Viji and Mother in Law Latha kumara also got the chance to experience overall good care of Vaidyagrama- Truly a healing village.
Respect. J

Vaidyagrama is my second home, the community living Nivrittigrama being the first. 2015 is when I first came here and fell in love with this space.
Healing village is the perfect name for this space. Dr.Ramkumar's dream became vision and that vision now needs to be sustained. This place is family- a large joint family. The healing experience is as much due to medication, food and lifestyle changes, as much because of the love, care, and nurturing.
Big thank you and gratitude Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini, Dr. Princess, Dr.Aruna, Lakshmi and Athira.
Going back with lifted spirit and healed Body and Mind.

Dr Ramadas such as wonderful, compassionate, lovable and friendly to kid and he knows very well to handle the clients. Next I want to thank Dr. Sajna and Dr. Harikumar every morning we saw all the drs smiling face.
Vinod therapist did his job very well and made my son’s treatment successful. Thanks vinodji. Pantry peoples are awesome and they are always open and ready to help whenever we need, receptionists, office people, cleaning peoples they were outstanding and did their job nicely.
Totally it was a memorable stay thanks a ton to Vaidyagrama family.
If possible keep TV for kids and patients care takers, I know it is not possible because of not having TV my son leaving early. No other kids won’t discontinue the treatment because of TV.

This is my 3rd visit to Vaidyagrama and it has been a splendid as ever before. It has set an example for other health care providing organization to emulate. The care and services provide here symbolize par – excellence, perfection, professionalism, promptness and punctuality.
I express my sincere gratitude to doctors, Dr Ramadas, Dr Ramanandan, Dr Vinod and Dr Nishanth, who frequently monitored and closely kept a watch on my progress.
My special thanks to the therapists, Ms Devaki, Ms Athira and Ms Bhavya, who with their magical fingers provided healthy touch.
There were several others who rendered services with equal dedication, sincerity and commitment. I convey my thanks to all of them.
It is said that when you have a hammer, everything looks like nail..!! Having spent more than half of my life in teaching economics, I tend to look for application & concepts of economics in whatever I witness or experience. One such concept is “POSITIVE EXTERNALITIES” – It implies the positive side effects or additional benefits arising out of an activity.
At Vaidyagrama I am immensely benefitted by the treatment given.
Besides the direct benefit, I received several other additional benefits – Positive Externalities..!!
It was a coincidence that during the phase of my treatment, “Sreemad Bhagavatham” Chanting was done. Smt Aruna Sairam rendered melodious songs, besides the daily prayers being performed here. Vaidyagrama thus treats and heals not only body but also our mind and soul.
There is a policy implication behind the concept of “POSITIVE EXTERNALITIES”. If an activity of an organization gives rise to POSITIVE EXTERNALITIES, the government must intervene to redress the externalities. Instead of levying taxes, should provide sizable subsidies..!! And Vaidyagrama deserves it to be heavily subsidized.
THANK YOU VAIDYAGRAMA..!!
With lots of Love, Respect and Regards

To all at Vaidyagrama!
Every so often- Where we are fortunate- Life presents us the “Golden Opportunity” to learn the deeper nature of things. For me, Vaidyagrama has been that opportunity (Twice!!). I have just experienced 3 weeks of humbling, insightful, deep and wise care from everyone here- Including fellow patients.
I will keep this feeling and knowledge in my mind and heart.
Now and forever
With love

I am grateful to all that took great care of us. Everyone was very friendly
It was an amazing experience when every door was closed for us Vaidyagrama give a new hope and we were able to find a cure.
The doctors are amazing. They don’t treat you like patients but like another human, a friend. All the therapist, room cleaners, people in the pantry are compassionate and smiling. Office staff and reception staff are great.
The chirping birds chanting in the morning and evening, beautiful flowers and trees are makes this a special place to be. Seems like a TAPOVAN to me.
When we asked for non-medicated plain water we were given mineral water and later charged for that. The charges was very reasonable but it would have been nice to know that we will be charged for plain water. We did not know we were drinking mineral water. I had asked if there is a charge & was told probably not.
Everything went really well for us. The people, place, experience, bhagavatam, chanting, prayers, satsangs all of them made us better humans. Learnt a lot
Thank you all

I feel rejuvenated, recharged and healed, emotionally mentally and physically. Efforts of administrative staff, therapists, runners and most importantly of all dedicated doctors is an excellent example of team work dedication and discipline that makes Vaidyagrama a healing village.
Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini, Dr. Princess, Arunaji all of you are such blessings and such caring people. Thank you so such.
My stay has been very short but I am surely looking forward to come back. One small request (if the cats can be swayed away from campus). Shall miss satsang by Dr. Ramkumar and morning and evening prayers.
Thank You! GOD BLESS YOU ALL
We were privileged to attend the Bhagwad Saptah. The mantras and chantings took so much negativity away.

What you do here is really special and so desperately needed around the world. It is rare to experience such deep trust and confidence in healing process. I can help but see that you really do make miracles happen.

Beautiful, thoughtful, professional, caring-it’s impressive to see.
We are especially grateful for our fabulous doctors and therapists. You took such good care of us. Thank you also for all the chanting and satsang, and the way you care for the land and community.

However, the attention and care given by both the staff and the therapists has remained the same over time- Warm, genuine and thoughtful. Thank you Dr.Ramanandan, Dr.Anupama, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Arun and everyone else that’s made my time here truly healing and joyful

Our time at Vaidyagrama has been very challenging, nevertheless we have been so impressed at what we have experienced here. It seems that every member of the staff always has a smile for us whenever we encounter them. The Doctors are always willing to spend a little extra time with us when we need it. The facility itself is an impressive work of eco design, which we very much appreciate. Shiny and Anitha have been a great support over the last 4 weeks. All in all we leave here changed in ways that we may not yet fully understand but with great hope for the future. Thank you

A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ramanandan and his team of doctors and therapists. This was my first time at Vaidyagrama and three weeks passed in a jiffy.
It’s a rare place of meditative healing and h and learning. There was much to see and observe and learn, I am grateful to the vision of its founders.
Thank you to the wonderful Devaki and Vaishnavi and Mrudula, Bhavya, Akina and the ever smiling Bhaagya akka who all help the wheels running smoothly and calmly with at most sweetness
It’s difficult to describe the level of care taking and patience of Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Sivajothi, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Arun, Dr. Vinod not to mention the nominating chats in all topics medical to spiritual with Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Ramkumar and DR. Ramadas.
I am excited to see the effects of my treatments on fixed over the next months.

Lucky and grateful and amazed: this is how i feel my second visit to Vaidyagrama, it has been a pleasure to see the people again and know and to meet new ones.
I love hearing the cows, the birds (there are many more than 2 years ago), and the music, the chanting, especially love how children are welcomed and cared for as everyone goes about their duties.
Vaidyagrama is truly a model for a better world. I look forward to returning and bringing others here.
So grateful to Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Mini, Dr. Princess Lucy, Dr. Vasudevan and Dr.Aruna;
For the complete care of Lakshmi, Athira and Sreeshma, For Shembagam who work tirelessly and the vast army of people who make all this possible.

Many were the days...Waiting for my mind to know the truth.
I had long thought that if i married to my body to my mind...
That would be a perfect love story
So, as an act of love to myself, I decided to go to Vaidyagrama.
Here, the doctors and staff at Vaidyagrama, by administering ancient, time tested Ayurveda, helped my mind know my body’s truth.
Now, to show my appreciation of their utmost dedication, detailed attention, compassion, and commitment to help us heal, my mind takes a vow to my body to practice and study Ayurvedic diet and right living regimens so wonderfully practised on me (except the ghee) Just kidding.
It really worked as Dr. Harikrishnan promised!
And thank you Dr. Ramkumar, Dr.Ramadas, Dr.Ramanandan, Dr.Mini, Dr. Princess etc. for the regular daily satsangs to knowledge about Ayurveda and healing our soul/spirit.
Dr.Mini and Dr. Princess Lucy, Dr.Vasudevan- Great administrators of Dr.Harikrishnan’s orders-All of you, I was lucky to have you as my doctors.
Your ‘bedside manner’ and approachability was 100%.
Thank you Athira, Lakshmi, Shreeshna.
My therapist Subash was so helpful and his smile is medicine.
Love you all..
Shembagam – my most pleasant and polite room cleaner, Aparna- for all your help.
Chief Dr.Harikrishnan you have helped me
Suggestions
1. Policy for synthetic fragrance free environment:
We respectfully request everyone refrain from the wearing fragrance in public spaces. Our chemically sensitive (allergic) patients are negatively impacted and appreciate your cooperation.
Scented soaps, shampoos, laundry products on clothes, lotions and cologne/perfume, deodorant.
The scents spread from your room, including incense, into the halls.
If this can’t be avoided please inform your doctor, so he or she can notify affected patients to close their doors / windows that open to the hall.
2. Cats may jump onto your porch mattress. You may want to keep a cat sheet on mattress at all times. When you want to use mattress, cover it with a separate sheet or blanket after removing cat sheet.
3 .If your meal is delayed (more than 1 hour) due to treatment or other reasons you may ask staff to reheat food especially true on ghee therapy days
(My meals were barely warm sometimes)
4. On the days of massage treatment, if patient feels anxious, unsettled
(Purgation day for ex :) the therapist with shower, comforting ‘touch’ can be helpful. Please request.
5. For those allergic to mosquitoes or mosquito repellent you may use mandapam (screened room) with fans.
6. For patients with swayback, lower back problems, tight hamstrings or gluteus, provide vinyl cushion (easy to clean), under knees (and ankle if possible) during face up position on massage tables.
Thank you

For me it was not good.
May be my lack, may be attitude, and may be specific condition.
I am impressed with the best efforts to follow the traditional Ayurveda.
I am disappointed in the forcefulness of doctors.
After 21 days of eating the diet and taking the medicines, I am left with more troublesome symptoms.
I hope in time, I will feel the benefit of my time at Vaidyagrama.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self - seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.
Love never fails, but where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (I Corinthians 13)
Grateful from my heart for: Faith, Hope and Love that were bathed on me immensely. Grateful to the entire team that took care of me that I can proceed my life in better health with greater clarity and more open hearted. It is always honour to me to see how this community breathes together with nature and grows
Thank You

I really loved the way, how all the people were so nice and friendly.
It was an amazing experience for me all by myself 21 days.
But I didn’t feel I am alone here.
Whoever they helped me the whole time, I really want to thank you.
I want to come and see this place not as a patient but a good recovered person from my bad health. I learned lot of nice things from this place.
My Dr Ramadas and Dr Sajna helped me so much for my treatments.
My wonderful kids Indhumathi and Dhanya was great.
I love you both as they are part of my family.
Other than that I want to say my heartily prayers whoever they are coming for the treatment to get well soon.
I will really miss this place so much.
God will bless this place all the time that is my wise.

I truly came here not expecting to get much.
It was an idea and plan made by my parents.
However I can say with all my heart that my seven days experience was one that has taken me by great surprise.
I loved the serene atmosphere that allowed my stress levels to decrease significantly and my thoughts to flow freely.
I was treated with first class service and could meet nicer people.
One doctor even went out of his way and offered me some life advice that changed so much.
I am truly in debt to this place and hope to come back very soon.

We first heard about Vaidyagrama back in 2015 through one of our friend R.G Subramaniam who stayed here.
Since then we wanted to be benefitted through Ayurvedic treatment and be a part of this Vaidyagrama ongoing basis. Finally time had come for our family and we are sincerely thankful for this wonderful experience.
Coming back to treatment, my wife Dancy and our first daughter Rufina stayed here for a week and they feel night and day difference with their back pain and allergic problem.
Kudos to everyone of Vaidyagrama team for being excellent human beings and providing awesome service of each and every activity in this village.
It is not just right to mention one or few names or titles. Our family have been to several countries with my work.
This team is unbelievable.
Whole heartedly best wishes for each and every one of you at Vaidyagrama to live healthy and peace.

I heard about Vaidyagrama from my mother who came here for treatment last year. Ever since I heard, it was a dream for me to come and I am so thankful that I got the opportunity this year.
After 21 days of being here, I can definitely say that I feel so much at home and already feel a part of the Vaidyagrama family.
The dedication that each and every one shows here really makes you feel comfortable and positive which automatically starts healing you.
I am truly appreciative of the last 21 days where I have found a few guiding principles, recommendation for healthy lifestyle, a positive environment, magic medicines and a whole lot of care that I am taking back with me to incorporate into my lifestyle.
Thank you to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Anupama, Lavanya, Shiny and all other therapists, all the housekeeping staff and the management.
I hope to be back soon.

I came to Vaidyagrama upon my mother’s request.
It was more about supporting her rather than expecting anything, as Ayurveda was completely new to me.
However, I was pleasantly surprised by how enriching my experience was.
A holistic healing of the mind, body and spirit. I feel rejuvenated after my stay.
I must thank especially Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Nishanth, Dr. Vinod and Dr. Suvedha for their patience, care and dedication, and to my warm and ever helpful therapists.
I have really enjoyed all the satsangs, especially the inspiring guidance of
Dr. Ramkumar, which I know will be very helpful to my day to day life.
I can’t wait for another ghee treatment to lose another 6kg.
I look forward to coming back and wish continual growth and success for Vaidyagrama.
Athira thank you so much for the idly maker.

Virtue,
The perfume of sandalwood, rosebay of Jasmine..
Cannot travel against the wind.
But
The fragrance of virtue Travels even against the wind,
As far as the end of the world,
Like garlands woven from a heap of flowers,
Fashion from your life as many good deeds.
From the “Dharmapada”
The virtue of everyone at Vaidyagrama will travel to the end of the world.
Thank you for everything and it’s been blessings to be here, under the care of the doctors and all who are involved in the work.

My husband was hesitant to start Panchakarma so far away from home and I accompanied him for his treatment.
I was told that I could be a Bystander or get some rejuvenation treatment for myself.
Arriving at Vaidyagrama late evening on 15th July 2019, I was immediately enchanted by the energy of this special healing community of doctors, attendants, therapists and follow patients. I felt reassured that my husband will be taken care of a well here. I too signed up for basic treatment.
I am leaving after 5 days of a wonderful stay here.
I wish to thank Dr.Harikrishnan and his team for everything that Vaidyagrama offers to humanity
July 18, 2019
Thank you all for an amazing experience.
I was not sure about how my mother (80 years) would take to her food exposure to Ayurveda and am happy to say that she not only enjoyed it but also she wish come back.
It is been a holistic enriching experience the doctors are wonderful.
Dr. Ramadas is very personable we both enjoyed and chatting with him.
The therapist Kalpana and Geethu are very caring.
The cleaners were amazing especially shakuntala
Loved all the trees and plants growing around creating a very peaceful environment.
Thank you once again especially for all the care and love showed on my mother.
A little more attention to the food and therapy rooms will make it even better.

A way of wellness and healing that’s been around for 4000 to 6000 years is in itself fabulous.
Vaidyagrama and the doctors here take it to next level with their attention, empathy and caring. It’s great to hear so many stories from other patients and meet like-minded people.
The therapists Shiny, Anita, Lavanya are calm and lovely and seem not only to love their jobs but also the food.
Thank you Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Vinod.

I consider myself blessed to stay at Vaidyagrama for My psoriasis treatment.
I am thankful to everyone here whom I met in person and whom I couldn’t.
I don’t consider this as a Hospital it’s a healing ashram.
I’m blessed to meet Dr Ramadas.
Words are not enough to describe his nature. Wonder how a person of his stature and calibre be always grounded, ready to listen, compassionate and caring.
His medical knowledge is known worldwide. However, his personality of being simple, kind are to be experienced only when we could spend time with him in person. He is terrific overall.
Dr Sajna is equally very nice and caring. I would like to also mention about the therapists who were very passionate in the job they do.
Thanks for everyone. People who served food, housekeeping staff and everyone.
I wish to see you all again.

I have stayed here in Vaidyagrama for 21 days.
Although I didn’t realize it during the first few days of my treatment, I can vouch for the fact that Vaidyagrama works.
The environment was very peaceful and beautiful. The staffs were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and well maintained.
Our stay here was very comfortable and we are very grateful for this experience.
The people who run and maintain this place has to be commented on their practice.
I was lucky to be treated by the doctors, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Vinod and Dr. Nishanth. They are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They made my treatment bearable.
The environment felt safe and homely.

Thank you to all the doctors, treatment team, office kitchen cleaning and laundry staff for taking such good care of us over the past three weeks.
Special thanks to Dr. Ramadas for being such an enthusiastic MC (Master of Ceremony) of the Wednesday night group dinner/karaoke evening.
We had heard good things about Vaidyagrama that did not really know what to expect the improved, diet and treatments were all surprisingly challenging and it took us a few weeks to really appreciate what is taking place.
Now that we have finally settled in to a slower routine, it is time to leave.
Some suggestions,
It would be good to know the ingredients in our food.
I would have appreciated words and translations to most prayers in order to participate more.
Please provide cards, carom, and scrabble.

I came to know about Vaidyagrama from Dr. P.S Rekhi, eye specialist based at Madras. He told me about the whole body healing.
I am so happy that I have got what I was told.
My spirituality also improved.
All doctors are well knowledgeable.
I got the opportunity to meet Dr. Ramkumar, a genius.
Dr. Ramanandan has explained everything about the treatments.
Staff are also co-operative.
I am so lucky that I got the opportunity to live here for 12 days.
Thank you all

It has been a wonderful experience at Vaidyagrama.
To start with, Dr. Ramkumar and team have to be congratulated for creating Vaidyagrama; truly back to nature ventilation and lightning have been planned in so detail.
I wonder why we need A/C’s in this world, at least in places other than crowded cities. For that matter, I now think why live in a big metro city.
Dr. Ramanandan and his team of Dr. Nishanth Rajendran, Dr. Vinod and
Dr. Anupama was all very attentive and took great care.
The team of therapists were all very good, know their job and very caring. Ranjith especially took great care. So were the housekeeping team, Laundry, Front desk and back office in all interactions.
One very unique feature here are the satsangs. The presentation by Doctors and Question & Answer sessions were all very informative and eye opening.
Besides the director’s, I liked the presentation skills of Dr. Nishanth.
The morning and evening prayers are something I will not forget. The loud strong voice of Dr. Ramdas will keep singing in my ears.
Dr. Vinod was also there every day to support and enhance the prayer experience for all.
All in all a great experience. Hope to be back next year with my wife who will love such experiences too.
Best wishes to all.

Ever since I saw Vaidyagrama in 2015 I have wanted to come here. Now as I leave after 10 days of treatment I am only sorry I did not muster enough courage to come earlier!! Vaidyagrama “heaven of peace”. A place where everybody is happy smiling and easy to be with. No discordant or harsh role.
I salute the Doctors, therapists and the supporting staffs are making it so.
Though there are a lot of “do’s and don’ts” nothing is shifted down your throat forcibly or conveyed strongly but very gently and persuasively told. The gentleness and happiness about this is really charming. Thank you Dr Ramanandan, Dr Vinod, Dr Anupama for making these 10 days idyllic.
A special thanks to Dr Ramadas for starting our days with positive energy and vibrations. Thank you all,

First of all, a very big thanks to founder of this VaidyaGrama healing centre for creating such a beautiful and peaceful place. There are more of positive vibes in this place which made us feel better even at our initial days of stay. Though it was very short duration (12 days) for us, we are very much satisfied for undergoing a good comfortable treatment. Staffs here are more friendly and made us to feel like a homely environment. Satsang was one of the most famous among us, or at least to mother in law. Where we gained more about how should we lead our lives further after leaving this village. Feel close to spirituality and cleaning our inner soul. We are very much thankful to everyone working here. Especially we convey our heart full thanks to Dr Mini and Dr Princess who made us feel more comfortable and also special thanks to Dr Harikrishnan.Thanks to our female and male therapists. Aathira was doing a very good work and to our maintenance people who helped us to keep everything clean. Thanks to cooking team. Though food was bland it helped our body/system to keep it safe. Would like to visit again.

OMG, I just love Vaidyagrama! If I were to extoll all the virtues of Vaidyagrama and the healthcare services it provides- The medical treatments, the delicious organic food, the opportunities to learn about Ayurveda self-care- I would have to write a book! After two months of Panchakarma medical treatments, medicine, and care all of my ailments are mended or mending happily leaving me replete, energized and ready to jump back in to life as a healthy person. Sweet! This place is so beautiful and peaceful it’s medicine itself. The copious bird songs, the trees, the wild life, the sweet and appreciated (by me) feral cats, the other patients, the suits (the amazing suites!).The doctors, therapists and support staff are all part of an environment of healing, humanity, connection and peace.

My first visit to Vaidyagrama. I came here as it was so highly recommended to me and I can now see why. I have been so very impressed by many things here and can say it has exceeded my expectations. From the time I was picked up at the airport I have felt so cared for and have been treated by much kindness and generosity. Thank you so much to all the staff here, doctors, therapists, front desk, drivers, cleaners, kitchen staff, you are all wonderful. I leave here feeling very well rested, inspired to maintain an Ayurveda lifestyle and I am especially inspired by the community living upheld in Vaidyagrama. You really practice what you teach. You are teaching us how to create change in the world by caring for others and living as a community. Thank you for all you do and all you have done to support me on my journey.
I am confident I will be back

For us working has been second nature, taking care of ourselves has always been the last thing to think of. So when we were recommended to Vaidyagrama, the toughest thing to do was relax. The relaxation began when we saw the place. The Doctors here (Dr Ramanandan and Dr Anupama ) our primary doctors listened to us patiently. Our history was checked and our treatment began. Despite our short visit we had better results. The therapists were gentle and knew what they were doing. The young girls, same as young as my own, made me feel comfortable at my sessions. The rooms were kept super clean, (A must need for my allergy issues). They even made sure the dogs and cats were kept away from me. Satsang, Prayers, nature walks, community dinner etc., made me want to come again and sooner. Dr Ramkumar’s Vision, has definitely borne fruit. My biggest plus: Sujatha my partner in crime, (natyam) and Aparna make me feel so welcomed here. Found some beautiful friends here looking forward to coming back soon.

This is my first trip to Vaidyagrama but not my last. When I had heard about this place on Sarah Williams blog, I quit sugar; I thought to myself, this sounds my kind of Place. It’s authentic, caring and has a vision for creating a community dedicated to healthy bodies and happy spirits. The team is efficient from the doctors, to the therapist and the cleaners everyone is working together. I feel like I have stayed in a little Paradise of peace with the sound of triode flowing through the trees, outside my window, Birds chirping, people chanting, Bells ringing so different to my day today life. Thanks to the treatments.
I feel so much better. Now I Just have to create a new routine based on the sound advice received from the doctors during the satsangs.
A big thank you to the doctors and therapist for your patience and kindness.

A heaven of wellness, of wellbeing. The doctors led in our case by Dr Ramanandan are full of insight and empathy. The staff are full of helpfulness and caring. The architecture, greenery and peace are healers in themselves.
As a result, each of us is visibly better than we were when we came.
We will certainly hope to return next year.

This was a short experience but definitely got a taste of something I want more of. This has made me learn that I want more from life, but not in the greedy way. Need more of nature, love and care. I really enjoyed the entire process of the treatment and all the take away of the explanations behind everything. I really came to understand that one foot pain cannot be treated in isolation but need to be connected in the entire body and mind. The slow living at VG is a threat in itself listening to the birds and rustle of the trees.
Looking forward to returning to VG!

As we entered Vaidyagrama we felt peace and experienced positive vibes on entering our room we realised the simplicity and the most modern facilities. We were welcomed at the reception with warmth and pleasing smile. We were so comfortable that not for a moment we missed our home or family. The treatment given to me was excellent; the girls were constantly concerned about my comfort. Their healing touch was very soothing. The visits of the doctors were so regular. Their concern about our wellbeing and their treatment was very touching. The food was simple and we realised we get the real taste of the vegetables and grain. It was always served hot and on time. The satsang with the doctors was very informative. It was a great learning experience. The prayer both morning and evening was something we looked forward to. A big thank you for the unforgettable experience.

Never in my grown up life I have been so well looked after and rested so much as here at Vaidyagrama. It is really like a healing paradise. Every one working here so kind, friendly and loving. I felt very safe and protected. After staying here, I feel strong enough and very inspired to go back home with a suitcase full of new knowledge and medicines — ha, ha… The treatments were amazing. The Satsangs very interesting and helpful. The other activities like community dinner and cooking class were fun. I feel so much better now, than when I arrived. My deepest gratitude to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Vinod, Dr Ramadas for all the care and advices.
Hope to be back.

The 21 days have gone by so peacefully and I will miss my Vaidyagrama Family. Thank you all for providing everything my heart needed to detox from a stressful and busy career and to feel alive again after the death of my husband. I am reminded that I am truly blessed. I am feeling lighter, more balanced and happier, thanks to my experience here. The personalised care, specialized treatments, terrific satsang, sunrise and sunset, prayers, garden walks, cooking classes, pooja and healthy diet –all surrounded by natural beauty and genuine community, make for a healing, nurturing and rejuvenating environment. I appreciated the gentle care, kind advice and expertise of Chief Dr Harikrishnan and Dr Aruna, Dr Mini and Ofcourse Dr Princess Lucy, that helped me fulfil my goals, lifestyle changes that I will continue to practice at home. I will always fondly remember the day Dr Princess helped me through my sadness during a treatment. She stood beside me like a heavenly angel, giving me support and comfort with her beautiful smile and peaceful demeanour one does not always encounter that level of attention. I appreciated my wonderful and skilled Ayurveda therapists –Athitra.N, Sreeshma, Deekshita and Vidya for providing “ Feel –good" treatments and along with Vidya. M.P for delivering my medicines and daily sustainance. The professionalism and effort of the entire staff and large team of workers –kitchen, admin and office, housekeeping, drivers, laundry ladies, maintenance and more made my stay comfortable. I enjoyed my room in block 9. I will strongly recommend Vaidyagrama to family, friends and others. The atmosphere and every person here had a part in turning my tears of sorrow into tears of gratitude and joy. Wishing you all peace and blessings. With heartfelt gratitude and love until we meet again.

The experience has taken away what wasn't good for my physical and emotional health and have added love for living and enthusiasm to keep looking after the body. Here I have learn routine, how to eat healthy quantity of food. I got use to tastes, smells of nature and the importance of water. I will miss being here but I go back home feeling happy and inspired. Feeling committed to keep on this journey.

Youhave taught me lesson's for life. You have made me find the peace within my physical body I always or I never thought would exist. This treatment and your Divine people have inspired me to live a life that belongs to nature. I couldn't be more excited to peruse this which now feels like a birth right. Vaidyagramais like a walk into life. The most incredible experience and teachings I will carry with me.

I am so blessed to be here. I could (and will) stay longer to resolve more issues. I am amazed and honoured by the level of attention and care received. I cannot even single out anyone because every single care giver was fully present. I felt heard and seen. I will return for sure and bring friends and family if possible. All my issues were not resolved as they have been a long time coming. It is my responsibility to now follow through and take better care to have those results. And I feel a positive determination as well as inspired to do the right thing, that is – no coffee for example. I am so grateful that I was able to be here. Thank you to all my care givers. Thank you to all sharing their gifts. Thank you! Particularly love the chanting and prayer time. What a gift. The satsangs, actually everything. I loved the beautiful green herbal trees, plants and ecological nature of this retreat. Suggestion: A roll for under the knees on the table (for lower back) and name tags for everyone working here. Hope to see you all in a year or so!
Peace and blessings to all of you for all I have received in abundance.

I am grateful to once again return to this sacred Vaidyagrama healing village. This place has grown since I was last here 7 years ago - but the graciousness, the invitation to know oneself better, and the environment to heal remain that same sacred frequency I so remember and am so grateful to return to. I am always both relieved and delightful to slow the speed and turn the volume of life down while here. The personal presence of staff, therapists, and doctors is refreshing, satisfying as I feel seen, heard and cared for. Satsang proves to be a great reminder; inspiring encouraging, empowering. As treatment cleanses and balances body/ mind, my soul feels equally nourished here. And that's the holistic thing about here - it includes everything, leaves out nothing, creating the feeling of wholeness, health, and well-being. I loved reconnecting with Dr Hari Krishnan, making new friends, building new relationship with other doctors. How extraordinary to be in the presence of those who are congruently offering what they already are - same healthy people living balanced, wisely chosen lives. I am hands over my heart fulfilled to be here immersed in and amongst those who celebrate and walk this time-honoured wisdom path. Thank you everyone for your contribution to the greater whole here and for helping my stay be extraordinary.

As with each stay at Vaidyagrama, it was again a most transformational rewarding experience. Of my seven visits, this was my first time bringing a group from USA. All were touched deeply by the integrity, authenticity and care they received by every single soul who together make Vaidyagrama, the unique and loving house of healing and sustainability that it is. Each time I receive treatment, my body/mind experience a deeper level of healing and balance. No longer do I experience chronic insomnia that plaguedme for years. My gallbladder no longer attacks or has symptoms - and I kept the organ by incorporating the wisdom of diet, disciplines, lifestyle that Ayurveda and Vaidyagrama so generously share and teach. No longer are the acute hot flashes and night sweats - my body has eased into menopause, and my mind is more satire than it ever has been - all this with deep gratitude to my therapists Athira N, Anju, Lakshmi and Athira A and the wisdom of unparalleled care of doctors Princess, Aruna, Mini, Ramdas, Ramkumar and especially Dr Harikrishnan who I have entrusted completely with this process, care and knowledge. Thank you all, including every special person who brings their attention to Vaidyagrama whose service here whether it be in the garden, maintenance, housekeeping, laundry, kitchen or administration helps us heal with the gift of your presence and commitment, to building and nurturing a real healing village, heaven on earth. Aparnajiand Geethaji- much gratitude for all your guidance and support of stay. May god bless you all. May you all be happy, healthy and nourished. Thank you for nourishing our bodies, minds and hearts.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, Words cannot begin to express how grateful I am for having found a place like this. I really feel like I have been taken care of and looked out for. Although there is more work to do, this is a very good start, I appreciate all that you have done and are doing to keep this hospital running the way it does. It cannot be an easy thing but I am sure it is very fulfilling to see a vision this big come to fruition. I look forward to seeing where you will take it next.Many blessings.

I came to Vaidyagrama because of my brother. I was feeling stuck and very unwell in my life back home and he could not recommend this place enough and I can now totally see why. I felt calming and positive as we walked through the reception. The doctors were so welcoming and listened patiently. All the staffs we met interacted with, or even passed by smile and show caring.
The treatment by Dr Ramanandanseems to be working in the space of just a few days here. I feel calmer, less anxious, and generally rejuvenated. He was supportive and offered life advice too. All the team Dr Nishanth, Dr Vinod, my therapist Devaki and all the girls in my block were caring and supportive.
The afternoon satsangsand talks were so insightful. I have learned and got reminded of the importance of leading a simpler, wholesome life.
Special thanks to Dr Ramanandanfor accommodating my son and husband during their short stay here too. I loved visiting Balagrama,Lakshmigrama, and the inspiring vision of Dr Ramkumar. His Satsangsare special too. We met lovely people from all over the world and had a great time over the last three weeks. I hope I can take forward some of the positivity and things I learned here into my life back home. Wishing everyone much love and luck and thank you so much for the nurturing care and support you provided us.

This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama. This has got to be one of the best Ayurveda healing set ups in the country. The doctors and staffs are so humane and genuinely caring. Not something you find every day. Needless to say, the healing/rejuvenation are better. Big thanks to all the staffs at Vaidyagrama.

This is my second visit, and as last time I am going back happier and healthier. Being partially cut off from the outside world, has given me the chance to not only cleanse my body, but also my mind. The fact that I am definitely going to come back again shouldn't come as a shock. I am especially grateful to Dr Mini for being a constant support. Thank you for taking care of me and pushing me outside of my comfort zone. I would also like to thank Dr Hari Krishnan for being so nice and treating me so well. Last but not least, my biggest thank you to all the therapists and helpers who make this place so clean and beautiful.
Until next year

DearVaidyagramafamily this is my first visit. What an amazing experience. I had 20 days of intense treatments [some difficult and some so nurturing] my mind and body feel so cleansed and relaxed. I am so grateful for help, guidance, supports and knowledge. Thank you, Vaidyagramafamily I look, forward to return next year. Warm wishes.

Oh my God!!! Where do I start???
I just spend 26 days here in pod 8. (As I don't like the word block), in the beginning I stayed in room number 307 and then moved to 305. Dr Mini is just marvellous. So attentive and caring and always willing to go out of her way to help and assist. Sajitand other therapists are amazing in what they do, so patient caring and humble in their work, it is just amazing. The satsang of Dr Ramadasand Dr Nishanth, are an inspiration. So are the morning and evening prayers. To sit there and listen to chants that are thousands of years old is just the kind of inspiration one needs being in a healing place like Vaidyagrama.
With all my love and humble appreciation

The valuable time at Vaidyagramahas been an incredible experience. I have learnt so much with all the satsangs-especially with Dr Ramkumar totally inspiring. Thank you to Dr Nishanth Dr Ramanandanfor all your support and knowledge. The therapist is caring and I love a little prayer started before the treatment. It nearly brought tear as I found it so caring and beautiful.
Thank you everyone at Vaidyagrama- I love your authentic philosophy on Ayurveda way of life. Totally enjoyed the garden walk too. This will be a lifelong memory that I will treasure and put to practice. Thank you again- I do hope to be back soon.

Being a student of Ayurveda, I was very keen to come to Vaidyagrama, having heard so many positive things about the treatment offered here. The treatments care and love shared by the staff and doctors was wonderful to behold. The sense of community we experienced at the satsangs and prayer meetings, add much to the mental calm and peace one feels in this environment. Being surrounded by nature and listening to the calls of the birds only adds to it. Having said that, we also found inconsistencies in the treatment day to day and our bathroom had a terrible stench which made it difficult to be in our room. Having stayed for 7 days, we did not find much difference physically, though mentally – the mind is quiet and one de-stresses to a large extent.
We plan to come back again for a longer stay, after having use the herbs we carry back for a few months to get our bodies prepared for a more intensive healing session. Thank you and Namaskar.

To all,I am deeply appreciative of the time I have spent here. I feel as if I am seeing the world differently. For the first time in my life, I have (mostly) lived with the rhythms of nature. I feel this is the way we are meant to live, and that many health difficulties arise from living out of tune with nature. I have learned at Vaidyagramathat I must take care of the environment for me. I have a bit more discipline where food is concerned (though I still dream of a warm butter croissant). My deepest gratitude to Dr Ramanandanfor his artful care. Thanks to Dr Ramkumar for his counselling and to Shyniand Devi. Thanks to all the staff here. I will endeavour to trust, flow, and surrender. I am sure I will fail at times, but that's okay.

Vaidyagramais a wonderful environment to heal physically and mentally. Despite being young and staying for such a short amount of time, I feel mentally rejuvenated. I think I will come back soon to feel better physically. (Had 7 days of treatment but I am not feeling any better or different in my body). Hopefully next time my body will be able to heal. (Alsocertain bathroom pipes seem to need repair, quite a few have strong stench making it hard to breathe). Thank you for such a high level of care.

Thank you to the many care givers at Vaidyagrama, Dr Harikrishnan, Dr Ramanandan, Dr Mini, Dr Aruna, Dr Princess and therapists Sajit, Girish, Rathesh, Subash and Laluprasad. You took very good care of me because of which I am feeling much lighter and better. Thank you also to the many cooks, cleaners, admins, and other back office staff who keep the place running. We will be back soon, and for a longer period of time, so that you can "work your magic".

Tomorrow I leave for the second time. When I planned my trip to India, I did not know how much I would love being at Vaidyagrama. So, I left after 6 days here to continue my travels. However, when I arrived at my next destination all I felt was a longing to come back to Vaidyagrama. So, I did. I asked if I could come back and if there was space for me. I am so grateful. I can’t think of a better way to spend my time here .Ifeel so relaxed and rejuvenated. My mind feels calm. I have learned everything during my stay. The food is so good. Everyone is so kind. The education and the mantra, so grounding. The doctors are very insightful and skilled. I will recommend this lovely place to many people. I hope to return

I have heard of this piece of heaven on earth for 7 years now and I was finally able to come and experience of the healing properties of Vaidyagrama. I will be leaving tomorrow back home, but I feel that I am leaving here in this sacred place part of my heart. I could go on and on about how I feel reflecting on my 12 days. I have written a journal (first time in my life), I was reading it last night and everything took me back to these wonderful past weeks. I am going home feeling rested, feeling light, feeling happier than when I came in (and I am a happy person!) I am going home feeling loved, respected, heard, nourished.
Every single member of this house of love and healing must feel proud of Vaidyagrama and the work being done. Professionalism, yes is there, knowledge, yes, it’s there too!! But all this without the good intentions and open and bright heart would not be complete. I do have a suggestion; keep doing what you are doing (minus a little bit of red rice Ha, ha ha). I truly hope to someday to return and experience this all over again and to get to see my pomegranate plant to grow and bear fruit. Dr Aruna, thanks for everything, you are a great listener and the best at answering my long list of questions!! May your life be filling with many more blessings – Thanks, thanks, thanks.

Ayurveda always interests me. InVaidyagramaI actually experienced it. Eventwo days gave me an insight such that I feel like continuing further! The smiles on the faces of all have been really inspiring. I feel better already and guess what? I always thought peacocks were Rajasthani's! I found two here and their calling all day.

My best wishes to Vaidyagrama family to keep their good work. Special mention to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Harikumar& Dr Ramadasfor their guidance. And kudos to Dr Ramkumar for all the enriching sessions and satsang.

DearVaidyagramafamily
This is my 4thvisit since 2009; the Vaidyagrama family has grown along with the facilities. I have always felt a deep connection with this place and the people. My current stay has been a dream. 20 days of unadulterated joy along with intense treatment which has made my body and mind light and comfortable. A special mention about the staff which is so well trained respectful and always looking to serve with a smile. My visit to Balagrama was the highlight of this visit. What a noble activity!!! There is so much to say and so much to write yet nothing to say and nothing to write. Because whatever there is to say is in the sound of silence and to write between the lines.

DearVaidyagrama,
Like my previous visit I only feel immense gratitude and joy along with stability in my body and clarity in mind. The past 6 months have been exceptionally stressful for me due to a project I have been doing and these 12days at Vaidyagramawere like an oasis in the middle of a desert and has given me enough strength and rejuvenation to accomplish what is now ahead with enough grace and stability and reminding myself how Important a balanced state of being is for it to manifest in the work and life too. I wish I could build both my physical home and the home of my body like Vaidyagramaand carry forth all precious gems from here and haltthem there so they remain with me till my last breath. The days here for me were like life light of the glorious sun is to a tree.PS: thank you Dr Ramadas, Dr Harikumar, Dr Vasudevan, Dr Sajnaand to all community here
Forever grateful

The practical applied knowledge of Ayurveda used here in Vaidyagramahas amazed me as well as benefited myself. The treatments are of very good quality and also applied with a caring and responses approach. And I have been humble because I learned here that without compassion, knowledge will not bear fruit. I have also learned that food needs to keep channels clear as well as be healthy and nourishing. Then there is the staff here, I am impressed by how the doctors have developed a very good team or family to work with them in the healing village. Plus, the rooms have been great to stay in; there are lovely buildings here and it is a quiet, peaceful environment to rest and heal in. All these things combined and more which I am not fully aware of as it is my first stay here, make for a very effective healing and rejuvenating treatment. My thanks to Dr Ramanandanand Dr Vinod and Dr Nishanth for wonderful medical care, healing and help with a more holistic lifestyle. I feel encouraged to maintain my health until next year visit and to tell others who have a need about Vaidyagrama.

I am deeply grateful for the whole staff and community here. It was my first time coming here, specifically through a time where I have felt the least healthy in my body and mind. I am moved by positive changes I feel in my body now. I feel more connected to my body and now its functions. Also, the cloud in my mind has gone away to a degree. I admire the authenticity, care and kindness of every single doctor, the therapist and staff. Beyond that, the food and the design of the space itself, from the natural lighting to the plants surrounding the whole space, has played a major role to this healing experience. Thank you for the work that you do and thank you for having me. I took forward to returning for a longer stay.

Christina – a fellow patient in room 308 described Vaidyagrama so beautifully. I don't have words to match what she wrote in the previous page. Please read what she wrote. (Refer July comments) We owe to ourselves and our loved ones to take serious note of the health-giving practices we have learnt at Vaidyagrama. But, most of all we owe it to all doctors, therapists, kitchen staff, helpers and the admin team at Vaidyagrama to remain worthy of their genuine care, attention and love. The list of people I wish to thank is long but I will pick Dr Harikrishnan, Dr Princess Lucy and Laluprasad as my guardian angels and wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for all they have done. Your dedication to your work and ever giving attitude is what makes Vaidyagrama so special. I leave Vaidyagrama healed both in my soul and body. Kudos

What a magical place this; full of wonderful people energized with the powerful values and deep love for the comic journey. It's infectious really; being here for 3 weeks has been a gift I only now realize how badly I needed. I came to treat digestive symptoms, improve my physical health and instead begin a deep operation on all parts of my being physical mental and spiritual. These weeks have been full of joy, pain, learning, struggle yet none of these adjectives will capture the essence of what happened here- healing. I am forever grateful to the energy that flows through so many of the people here DrRamanandanfor orchestrating my treatment and offering support in all domains of life. Your smile will stay with me. Dr Vinod, my healer and brother in jnana, your patience and enthusiasm carried me forward. Sooraj, Arun and my other therapist brothers. What love you shared with me! You supported me and nourished me like a child, what a gift to experience that love again. All of the staff, who work tirelessly to enable this space, I know you are the force behind my healing. Deviji,your energy is inspirational, may I have the opportunity to serve you one day.

DearVaidyagramafamily,
It was third time for me and first time for my mother. Realizing this trip was not easy persuading people etc, the day here was another actual challenge.
I was thinking no problem will happen if I translate the language to my mom, but not that simple. I learnt that patient becomes so fragile and sensitive both in mind and body. We thought or talked a lot and tried to keep the peaceful mind, it didn’t work always. Many people helped us, doctors, therapists, other patients. We appreciate for all and everyone. Another difficulty was that symptoms didn’t reduced significantly during the stay. It is so reasonable that years of disease can’t be cured completely in three weeks. Now I believe things are moving in a good way and recovery comes when we forget. It was wonderful 3 weeks here in Vaidyagrama.
Thank you for everything and hope to see you again.

Thank you, Dr Ramanand, Dr Nishanth and Renjithand Sainudheen(therapist). I have learned a lot in 7 days about Ayurveda and how to leave life. I feel so blessed to have visited this place. This is in every sense a holistic healing place. I came to Vaidyagramawith my wife and 8-year-old son, I am glad we experienced this place together. I am new to Ayurveda. Vaidyagramais the place to know about Ayurveda in the purest form. Satsangsare not to be missed. Thank you, Dr Ram, Dr Ramdas, Dr Ramanand, Dr Nishanth and Dr Mini for answering all our questions and imparting valuable information on Ayurveda! Dr Ramanand, Hakeem and other staff went out of the way to help me to do and important video conference call.
Thank you Vaidyagrama

Love the location, The lush green surrounding, the Artis and chants by DrRamadasin the morning and evening, all the satsangswhere we learnt about Ayurveda, The cooking lessons ,Go Pooja and the beautiful people, I met from all over the world. Had a great experience. Enjoyed the community dinner. Thank you for all the Lovely therapists and the helpers, they made our stay and the treatments very comfortable.

What do I comment on? When something feels so close to heart it is like writing appreciation letters to our friends and family maybe that's what the world needs a bit more now. Deva truly enjoyed her visit to Vaidyagramathis time too. but she made sure to save a few memories so that she doesn't forget it again .Herwalks with dheedis,play times with Rithuam sure she is going to ask me to bring her back as soon as we get back home. We were worried about her picky eating habits when we came here but Dhanya was a true blessing there. We have seen her work, her Magic with the deva and helped us out when she refused to eat food and even switch up her menu got Deva the favourite Upma.
Special thanks to the doctors for making me feel comfortable and welcome full listening to my worries and discomforts thank you for your suggestions and advises. I'll try to incorporate more of it into my life and I still looking forward to my third visit.
Thank you

This is my second time in Vaidyagrama; some of my experience here has been similar this time to the last time, and some a little different. But this is not in my mind, given that it’s never exactly the same ‘I’ who has come here. What has remained a constant are the beauty of this place and the kindness of the team here. One of my favourite aspects has always been the sonic dimension of Vaidyagrama. From the breeze that envelopes the trees (and us within and next to them), to the daily concert of so many birds (last counted a dozen different cells), to the penetrating frequencies of DrRamkumar’ssatsangs, and the healing cadences of Dr Ramadasprayers. And then there’s the daily encounter with squirrels, butterflies, caterpillars, lizards, incredible beetles, cats, dogs and cows during pooja. For me all these elements are as essential as the treatments themselves, and what contribute to making Vaidyagramaa special place in my heart. Not forgetting that the ethical and social pillars that underpin the vision of Vaidyagramaresonate deeply with my understanding of who’sthe world stands today. I want to extend my deepest gratitude and warmth to my doctors (Dr Ramadas& Dr Harikumar, and their teams) for the care and insights they have granted me. Deepest appreciation too, to my therapists for their hard work concern. And alsoto the kitchen team & office/reception team for their work & care. Wishing everyone all the best for a healthy happy life ahead
Warmest wishes

I am so happy I chose to come here. Although I was not able to stay the full 21 days, the doctors worked with me to find a beneficial treatment for my time here. It was such a safe, peaceful, welcoming place to land for my first time in India. I can feel my body and mind relaxing. I love the holistic approach to health here. The environment, the education, the mantra, the culture, the nature, all of it combined to make a perfect and wonderful place for healing. All of the doctors and practitioners are so skilled and kind. They take time to answer questions and make a new process understandable. I truly hope to return again for the full time and I come, to leave being like a family.
Thank you for everything

For me it was not good may be my luck, may be my attitude, and may be my specific condition. I am impressed with the best effects to follow in traditional Ayurveda. I am disappointed in the forcefulness of doctors. After 21 days eating the diet and taking medicines. I am left with more troublesome symptoms; I hope in time I will feel the benefit of my time at Vaidya Grama.

I can't quite believe that I feel a range of sadness as I leave Vaidyagrama after nearly 3 weeks of our stay here. Our stay here has been extremely fantastic and nothing at all like what we expected to be. It has worked wonders on both our body and mind well. The atmosphere and our daily routine throughout our time here have been the most refreshing, relaxing and positive. We have ever felt it a long time. Thank you to the entire staff for their brilliant service and fantastic hospitality. We were always surrounded with positive energy, a massive gratitude for the Satsang by Dr Ramkumar, Dr Ramadas and Dr Ramanandan for they have opened up new avenues of thinking and approach of life. We are truly blessed to have been able to experience them. Many thanks to the therapist especially Bindu for the selfless and very alternative approach throughout. We take away positive thoughts, and are also more hopeful than ever of being able to achieve our dreams. Hopefully very soon, needless to say this is only the start of what to be become a lifelong association with this wonderful Vaidyagrama family.

This is my third time coming back for a short study time with Dr Ramadas and two week treatment under his care. Again receiving all gifts Vaidyagrama has to offer. The peacock’s sound first thing in the morning, the symphony of all birds and insects, the greenery in all the plants surrounding compound, all the sweet calm faces of staffs, the intention of an authentic Ayurveda practice behind everything.
Love and gratitude in my heart always to this whole community, physicians, therapists, administrators, cleaners, cooks, maintenance teams, gardeners, receptionists and many more unseen operations to help make this place a healing home.
Love all the children and the sounds they make when they are here. They bring joy to my heart. There is always more to improve. Just keep the level of awareness in the Heart Centre always.

Vaidyagrama is a silent and unassuming healing Centre which goes on to prove that a medicine alone does not relieve the agonies of patients.
The atmosphere created for patients here is very unique, the rich dense flora which I abundant within, is so effectively thought of and maintained, and is by itself is a great healing addition to the medicines.
Doctors do not sport stethoscope or white coats’ there is absolutely no hurry, while attending the patients. This creates in fact a strong, free optimum field which again is very effective healing factor.
The premises, rooms, treatment centres are very spacious, volumetric and patients do not feel that typical Hospital air. This is no doubt a great appreciable feeling.
The regular Satsang among patients and doctors further reduces the space and give tremendous opportunity for frank questions by patients; it is another factor for effective healing process.
This healing Centre had very effectively brought out that, the time treated healing power resting on spirituality. Every day starts with prayer and ends with Sahasranamam chanting which is attended by all including foreigners, occasional special poojas, which enhances healing process in the their own way.
Above all, an organisation like this has to have multiple levels of service staffs, credits go to management and the staffs in equal measures, services go on absolutely silent and diligent.
Diet is an important part of healing, cooking the food, delivery system is so well set and we had to give whatsoever.
The healing Centre has gone long way to convince us all that how addiction to cell phone, computer and internet hinder the healing process.
There is a well thought of a give and take arrangement for that a dedicated spot, where patients can connect with their near and dear, appreciated.
Sum in total; Vaidyagrama is totally a wonderful healing Centre.

This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama. My daughter Siva Jyothi, who is living at Austin City, USA advised and sent here. Honouring her advice, I came here. I am very much satisfied with the medical gardens grown here by Vaidyagrama for healthy air with full oxygen. Dr Princess, Dr Mini and Dr Sonia treated me well and good. I am satisfied with the treatment given by massage section. I had seen people from various countries such as Vietnam, Brazil, France and Australia undergoing treatment here at Vaidyagrama. Staffs and other employees are very kind and work minded. I am very much satisfied with all services given by the hospital authorities.

This is my first visit for 20 days. The experience was nothing but positive. Dr Harikrishnan explained the procedure and how to keep up with a healthy life outside. I immensely enjoyed all the massages and treatment. Dr Aruna, Dr Soniya, Dr Princess were all very supportive, calm, and pleasant. They helped me whenever I struggled with any procedures. Therapists were all very friendly, exceptionally caring, especially vidya with her consent smile. The environment itself gave a break from the hustle bustle of a city and helped me to relax and I enjoyed meeting people from all over the world in the mandapam every day.
The daily poojas especially done by Dr Ramadas in his baritone voice was very beautiful. I did struggle with the food a bit, but it is more to do with my habits and I understood the importance of diet especially during treatment. It did get better in the last week though.
I wish to thank everyone and Vaidyagrama for the care and for creating such a beautiful place. Looking forward in coming here the next year.

Must compliment the staffs training, it is most rare that all staff are always smiling & helpful, without any expectations at all.

Experience as a patient in Vaidyagrama for the second time was quite a great experience, away from the busy routines and schedules into the serene calmness of Vaidyagrama. I really enjoyed the days here, safe and secure in the hands of efficient doctor (special thanks to Dr Harikumar), cared and pampered by the therapists, gentle touch of love from housekeeping and all other staff. A memorable experience in total and no words can express my gratitude.
Heartfelt thanks to one and all

Thanks to each and every one for making my stay here at Vaidyagrama unforgettable.
The love and passion spread here is amazing. Special thanks to Dr Ramadas for giving his whole heart into what he does. It was absolutely a pleasure to have him as a doctor taking care of me. And of course, also a big thanks to all other doctors as well as the therapists.
The whole experiences, care, prayers, treatments, pujas, people around are very delighting and for sure will remain in my heart and memories.
To keep the good spirit or maybe even improve it, a bit more supervision could be helpful. Sometimes the towels were really smelly and haven’t been changed in the room.
The therapists are very loving and absolutely caring, but I sometimes had the feeling that the treatments are to be improved as it was not always aligned with what the doctors have described, just some feedback to improve even more.
Lots of love and hopefully see you soon.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Thank you for your care and attention to me. It has been an amazing 20 days journey which I will cherish.
Doctors especially Dr Ramadas makes you feel like family. His prayers resonate the entire day.
The spiritual aspect of the treatment was very fulfilling.
Really enjoyed all the satsangs, Dr Ramkumar’s interaction was very enriching.
I hope to come back soon. Keep up the good work.
Lots of love
P.S- it would be even better if the house keeping department did random checks to see if the towels do not smell & has a soap towel in the room.
Supervision in the treatment room will also improve the standards further.
The doctors may do a check once in a while to see if the treatments are being done in the correct manner.
This feedback is to make this place the best in the world.
Wishing you all the very best always

As a student of Ayurveda coming from Australia, to have the opportunity to study at Vaidyagrama was a dream come true. I had an amazing experience, learning one on one with the doctors in such a traditional way. It has been incredible and really brought my understanding of Ayurveda to a new level. To be immersed in the Ayurvedic lifestyle with the prayers, pujas, food, lifestyle, nature, doctors and therapists has given me a very whole experience. The teachings and my time here at Vaidyagrama will be in my heart forever, and I hope to be back very soon.
Big thanks to Dr Ramadas and all the doctors for having me, for sharing their knowledge and wisdom.
A Big thanks also to Balagrama, for welcoming me and letting me stay with them. Also to all the kitchen staffs for always making sure I had eaten.
Lots of love, to everyone at Vaidyagrama.

Thank you for the opportunity of growing, healing and exploring myself.
I loved the satsangs and learned wisdom in the prayers of Dr Ramadas that made a big shift in my mind, heart and body.
Sorry Dr Harikrishnan that I made some problems and it is now nice for me to see that I can trust you and also tell you about my wishes, feeling and needs.
It was a 3 month way of crying, anger, exploration and so much learning about Ayurveda health and me.
Thanks to Dr Aruna ji, I love her wide open heart and also a big thanks to Sreeshna (therapist girl).
Some things could really be better in future is to create better service for patients to make the stat and healing journey more effective.
I am looking forward to see you all in March again for my start study programme and further healing treatment.

Waking up to the sounds of nature every day, time slowing down, lovingly treated by staff and patient, prayer, group dinners, lectures, conversations, the cats walking in Vaidyagrama, colouring, reading, walking every day, different poojas, the sound of the monsoon rain and of course mosquitoes are all memories we will take with us from Vaidyagrama, Calming the mind, letting go, and breathe. This is our first Ayurvedic experience and it has been challenging. The treatments have been difficult at times. The food was difficult to accommodate throughout our stay but my daughter was in so much pain and was so tired and was beginning to give up when we arrived. Within 3 weeks the level of improvement in her health and well-being and happiness has been miraculous. We are so very grateful to all the Vaidyagrama staffs for this gift they have given to us.
We wish Vaidyagrama the greatest of success in achieving their mission and maintaining this loving experience.

Dear friend Dr Ramadas and awesome team
Last day at Vaidyagrama- The wailing of peacocks early morning, doves cooing, slightly cold air, walking thankfully out the gate, The dawning of a pale Sky, Many birds singing their joy, In this Paradise of birds, One motor bike starts, Not a wink of sleep, Something has lifted in my 70 year old loneliness. A new life emerging in my being, At long last, New but familiar energy, After many months of being half dead. A new confidence after a Great day of shopping with the lovely Alicia at Fab India and Pothys.

My two week stay in Vaidyagrama has been a unique experience. Living in a Satwik was spiritually elevating. The doctors, therapists, staffs and other patients brought a special energy to this place of healing. Special were the prayers and the satsangs. I am touched and impressed by the other activities for the communities and that is why The Vaidyagrama has prevailed
Wish Vaidyagrama all the best on its journey

Thank you everyone for a wonderful stay. All the diagnosis and treatments were expertly carried out. The grounds are wonderful to walk around with so much beautiful nature. Everybody was very kind and friendly and was easy to convert to Ayurveda and I am looking forward to eat kichadi regularly. Your goal to create an authentic Ayurveda centre is admirable. However, please indulge me in some constructive criticism.
I feel that you cater to the desires/whims of the patients too much. If you remove the Wi-Fi, I think it would be very good. Many patients seem to spend so long on their laptops/phones every day. Personally I would love to come to a place where phones/tablets/laptops are banned with just a landline for emergencies. Many people like me would love to escape the digital age for a few weeks. It could be a good use for Vaidyagrama. That said, this place is offering something unique and I will recommend it to all my friends

To all the staff, therapists, Dr. Ramanandan & Dr. Vinod, thank you so much for our incredible stay here. I am inspired by the welcoming, loving approach to everything done at VG – the service, treatments, care and especially the openness in approach to our specific medical issue. It is truly eye opening and transformative to have the opportunity here and after to approach our health in a holistic wat – to reset our lifestyle, diet and mind and to reconnect to body and mind. It was a special place to do that with all of our needs so taken care of, and in a quiet, peaceful place.
Thank you for also reminding me that there is more to rest than sleep. I look forward to carrying these practices with me into everyday life and seeing its impact on our energy and mind.
P.S. It would be great to spend more time while here, learning from our doctor’s wisdom on the ayurvedic science behind our medicines and treatment and on our diet and lifestyle recommendations specific to us!
With lot of gratitude and love,

To everyone at Vaidyagrama,
Thank you so much for making this such a life changing journey for me.
The wonderful therapists looked after me like family & made me feel safe and supported always. Also Bhagiyam.
The doctors’ compassion and kindness is like nothing I have experienced before.
I learned so many amazing practices and so much wisdom from the satsangs.
There is so much I hope I will never take for granted –
Waking up to the sound of the rain.
The sounds of birds everywhere.
The beautiful smiles of all the staff.
Lovely clean organic food.
Being surrounded by nature at all times.
Fresh delicious cow’s milk.
The sweet smell of incense in the air.
The gentle breeze through the windows.
Watching the sunlight on plants.
Green everywhere.
Sounds of chanting in the distance.
Thank you for the experience,

This is my first experience and encounter with Ayurveda. In my two weeks at Vaidyagrama made me understand the power of Ayurveda in the healing process.
I learnt much about how our bodies function and the importance of healthy food and balanced nutrition, in order to enjoy a healthy life. The emphasis on other aspects, such as, reducing stress and anxiety and the benefits of living with nature enlightened me hugely.
I found the Satsangs enormously stimulating and very informative and provided me a strong and practical basis for the future.
Strangely, I started quite early to enjoy the food and do not miss tea/ coffee or spicy food – AMAZING!
Thank you Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Ardent for your patience and dedication. The team of Doctors are truly professionals and caring and so are the therapists.
The holistic approach to healing and integration of sustainability to all aspects of Vaidyagrama is truly amazing!
Greatly appreciate the experience!

Thank you for your care and attention. Everyone shows respect and love. I will go home with not only better health but with a better understanding of how to stay that way. I loved the food and would love for you to put out a cookbook. Maybe you could share a recipe a week by email and at the end of the year your cookbook could be ready to put out. I enjoyed the quiet and the time and space to rest. I seldom have enough although it is a priority for me. I loved the space with the abode, skylights, outdoor space, the nature right outside the window and the natural solutions like herbal water purifying and mosquito repellent. I liked the lecturers and educational component. And the incorporation of prayers morning evening and before treatment. Thank you so much for all.

So much loving kindness I have found here! There seems to be respected and attentive care from and to everyone. Treatments that begin with prayer and end with full gratitude every day are such a blessing, and the availability of the doctors is extremely rare in my experiences to date and I am 75 year old.
Thank you for this care filled stay. It is an example and will seek to repeat in my endeavours at home. I have gained a deeper understanding of how Ayurveda is a way of life and will cures. This with me to share with others also and see how my daughter has been growing in love, with this, family and I rest in her happiness.

I have full faith that my foot is healing and it will be cured completely. The many friends I met, the satsang, the prayers and the whole atmosphere vibrates with positivity and healing I found a lot of peace.

Simply amazing!
Everything about Vaidyagrama is love. The doctors are incredible, attentive, caring and generous with their time. The staff are so happy, cheerful and cordial. The food is very good. I am/ have always been excited to find out what we will be eating next, especially during the group dinner which are lot of fun. The Satsang, what a basketful of information of knowledge. Information to be treasured and taken by us back home to practice of continue learning from. I came here with my personal baggage load and issue. I leave light, healthy and happy. This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama and it certainly will not be the last. Vaidyagrama is a treasure to be shared and so it will be done. Trust me this experience will be share to everyone I know.

I was longing to go to an Ayurveda centre and the opportunity came through a friend for Vaidyagrama and I jumped on to it. My 11 days in Vaidyagrama was perfect. I was a little sceptical of whether I will be able to sustain. But thanks to all doctors specially Dr. Harikrishnan who build the confidence through various settings. I developed a feeling of complete surrender and trust that I am in best possible hands.
The other doctors like Dr. Sonia, Dr, Mini, and Dr. Princess were ever smiling and supporting us throughout the day and stay.
The food was sometimes not up to our taste but then as I came to know that this kind of food support the healing process, I stopped complaining.
The staff is also very humble, liked Athira very much. The stay would have been a perfect one had not been for the cockroaches. Request you all to do some kind of pest control for this menace.
Thanks everybody for a wonderful experience and I hope to go back home as a better human being, healthier, calmer and happier.
God bless you all.

Vaidyagrama honours the name as it states, far away from city, pollution and what not..! The mind and body both are relaxed at this place even though if you think you can’t, the people (staff, Doctors and therapists) everyone around makes it so simple to do so. Therapists Dhanya and Shiny and others are experienced and helps to sooth me and relax in all aspects during treatment. Doctors Dr Ramanandan, Dr Anupama, Dr Vinod, Dr Ardent, all was providing the best of treatment.
There is so much positivity at this place that helps for quicker healing. Keep doing the good work.

Dear friends, sweet family,
Since I start to talk with Aparna I felt a lovely attention. When she ends the email she write ‘with warm wishes’ it marked me and I started to use also. And this was only the beginning that was waiting for me. My goal in my life was work and live in a love way. True and unconditional love way, and I am blessed to find people like you and places like Vaidyagrama that teach me a lot to recognise my essence.
Right now, I’m listening a wonderful classical music that touch my heart and inspire me to write for you all in each detail, in each sound, in each word, in each look, in each smile, in each flower, birds, in each plant, in each tree, in each doctor, therapist, in all staff, exactly in all and in at all details has a healing intention.
I believe that love also it’s expressed in the details, and here on Vaidyagrama I also found these details. Take care for me means also, take care of the details. Here I see that have a true intention of expressing love in all the ways that the place and people can share.
I wish that God continue to bless all the people from here, that are here who have already passed here and who will still come and to bless this beautiful work to continue healing and inspiring people and caring of the community and nature.
Thank you so much for that do this for the world.
Thank you for take care of me.
With love.

This was an incredible experience! I am an Ayurveda doctor in the states and first time having panchakarma in India. Not only did my condition improve I have learned so much in the process. This wealth of knowledge will surely benefit my patients back home. I am in awe in how Vaidyagrama has created an authentic, traditional Ayurveda hospital that is sustainable in every way. And the staff were superb. From their cleanliness, kindness, and beautiful warming smiles, I felt right at home. Cannot want to return! Short to my outstanding doctors Dr. Aruna, Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Sonia.

What a vision, what an apostle of our dharma and tradition.
Words fail me in describing this abode of “Vaidyagrama”. The structure and layout is breath-taking. The design is so innovative and well considered. The greenery and earthiness is so core and charming. But it is the people who make this place such a Divine Place. Smile, Service and Simplicity, 3 mantras of people, be it Doctors, beyond all this Dr Ramkumar.
We are blessed to have this place. This is a role model for development. Health, Care, Service, Quality and much of love put together.
You will see me a lot more here, every year.

To my roommate Anne,
Great opportunity to share so many good conversations about our personal experiences and about learning from the gurus we follow, to share this enriches our soul, you are a person who has been searching your prana for a long period and sharing this insight travel with everyone. I feel you as a brave woman who decoded to do and think from the heart, you follow your dreams and make them happen and that is what life is about. It has been so good to have met you, “even though you woke me up”. You take things as they come and that is a great lesson in life.
To Vaidyagrama,
To each and every one who has made this place possible, thank you! If someone would have explain about this experience perhaps I would have been scared, you have to go through different process to understand that everything is done for a good reason. Although there are moments we do not understand it and we want to run away.
I felt cared protected and love!
Something you really need when you are going through such a huge process of healing from body and mind.
Thanks to everyone.

I would like to congratulate all the doctors at Vaidyagrama for creating the Ayurveda experience in its authenticity and fullness. Really appreciated the satsangs which touched on various topics to get us to understand the treatments and its reasons clearly. I am grateful that the staff and all the doctors are so humble, approachable and caring. It was like elders of our family taking care of us.
Special thanks to Dr. Princess who paid heed to every need of our stay. Also a warm thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan for patiently listening and explaining the treatments.
I would but request the person in charge of maintenance to please take care of the cockroach menace. It is the only experience in the centre which is not allowing to fully enjoy our stay.

Dear all,
I recently heard about Vaidyagrama through my friend Shy, and had minimal knowledge of Ayurveda. After spending these 14 days here, I have not only learnt a lot from the Satsangs and discussions but also discovered Ayurveda experimentally through my body and mind and have first-hand knowledge about the healing effects of this practice and lifestyle.
For that I want to thank all the Doctors and therapists and staffs for making my time here so beautiful and beneficial. I will definitely miss this place. The trees, the delicious food and kind smiles are so well received.
With love and respect.

When I entered Vaidyagrama my firm thought was what an enchanting place I was welcomed in traditional way. Dr. Sonia received me and the journey of two weeks began. I was curious to know this beautiful place. I wandered around and met beautiful people.
Vaidyagrama is a beautiful healing place. Dr. Harikrishnan is such an expert and easy to communicate with doctor, I could share all my problems, Dr. Mini, Dr. Sonia, Dr. Princess as well. As all these doctors are wonderful, humble, sympathetic and empathetic. These are the qualities I always look for in my doctors along with their expertise and I found these all in doctors here. Dr Mini always has smile on her face that made me feel good every time she come to check me up. Dr. Sonia is wonderful and suggested some helpful tips. Dr Princess was equally concerned about me have spoken to me at length, Dr. Aruna shared beautiful essence of herbs. Room therapist Ms Anju made sure I have required things in the room. Ms Athira and Ms Sreeshna were great at therapies. Ms Sreeshna made me feel good with her healing massage, both were checking about me being comfortable. Morning and evening prayers, Satsang, Other special prayers etc were all wonderful and healing.
I especially enjoyed group dinner not only for the reason that food is delicious but everyone mingling with each other and having joyful moments. My stay at Vaidyagrama is one of a kind and I will have all healing memories. I am very thankful to healing Vibes and beautiful and smiling and ready to help staff. I am grateful to Dr. Harikrishnan for perfect diagnosis and treatment plan and his ground to earth behaviour. I am also grateful to Dr. Mini, Dr. Sonia, Dr. Princess and Dr. Aruna for concerns they showed and empathy towards me. I loved my stay at Vaidyagrama. I will come back and also recommend this healing Centre to family and friends.
With love and gratitude.

Thanks and gratitude for all the teams which makes this Ayurvedic Centre unique.
I think duality is not real in seeing good or bad thing are not my goal here. But I found this book repeats duality. I can only say that which didn’t expect a hospital concept here being treated as a patient. The website shows a resort healing centre. I was looking for more a healing centre without this hospital main focus and services.
Of course I didn’t have severe health issue was looking for an Ayurvedic experience.
The experience was nice with the treatment that was my favourite us part of the day.
I would expect 2 treatments per day as it was too short and the day was too long not being able to go out to connect with nature.
A bit Extreme to do nothing during the day and no sun rays.
I expected more tasty Food.
But I was impressed to hear about other patients with severe health issues who were having good results with the Panchakarma that is great and did six days only but enough for me as I don’t like the hospital concept in a holistic place.
I must admit this six days allowed me to do really nothing and read more and meditate more.
Thanks again for the team and being apex to my views and requests during my stay.
Wishing all the best.
Gratitude and love.

I stayed in Vaidyagrama for 24 days. From the day I walked in the staff transpired care and kindness and everyday thereafter. The devotion of the staff and doctors is endless. The environment is very soothing. I also enjoyed the satsangs and other activities. This is truly a healing village which I hope to return to in future.
Thank you.

What a blessing these three weeks of treatment have been for me with the oil that was powered on my body. I received all the love and my body needed in order to rejuvenate. Thank you the therapists! With the food brought there thrice a day. I received all the nourishment needed for my digestive system to be happy. With the afternoon Satsang I received an education so important for body and mind now and in the future. Thank you doctors. Finally with the prayers and amazing pujas hopefully my soul has been like too. Ohm Shanti Shanti Shanti. Thank you so much to all who have made my stay here so amazingly pleasant and thank you to mother Earth.
With love and gratitude.
PS. Thank you to all those smiley faces we see around, the cleaners, the fumigators, the cooking team, the receptionist, gardeners etc.

All of the staff, including doctors, therapists, housekeeping and admin were warm and wonderful. The village was very welcoming from the moment of arrival. A few negatives include very hard beds, food that is difficult, at least to western patient and a distinct lack of feedback and information from the doctors as to the makeup of the treatments, medicines and their intended effects.

My stay here was for 7 days as a group with Indu Arora with yogsadhna.. I am from Milwaukee Wisconsin. I had a very difficult start because I asked Indu about the mosquitoes and heat and she said they were mild to nil. To me it has been so very hot and my skin was full of bites. Also I was surprised that there was no treatment during menstruation. Since the trip was scheduled during the new moon and for just 7 days. During the first couple of days with high Pitta and so many uncomfortable surprises, the staffs were very kind to me and worked so hard to help me catch my balance. A very sweet man whose name starts with ‘P’ delivered smoke every day to protect me from the mosquitoes and no one laughed at me for wearing so much scarves. Luckily I brought instant ice packs and it helped me to cool down on occasion.
Shiny was patient with me and was so confident in guiding me through m treatments at the end of the week. I could listen to her beautiful deep voice all day. I also had a gift of a Hand and Foot massage each evening, and I was so surprised by the gentle act of love of a treatment in my 3rdnight that I cried the whole time. The next two nights, I had a woman whose name starts with ‘B’ and she had me lay down for this. We had wonderful chats with her excellent English. On the second night we sang with her.
Overall, I was able to meet some deep challenges here and found some balance with them. I also hope that it will lead to more healing as I follow this advice at home. I lose nearly 1 pound per day and hope it will stay off and even continue. I will remember the visual beauty here with great detail and fondness. The smoke, flower bowls, trees in our block, center and covered walkways are my favorites. In gratitude for patience, beauty healing, care taking and wisdom.
Thank you.

Wow! We began our first trip to India with a week stay at Vaidyagrama. The level of care is not something I have experienced in other medical institutions. You offer true loving kindness. I appreciated that all of the staff took time to answer questions and explain Ayurveda. Your staff is patient and knowledgeable.
The treatment were wonderful. The food amazing. I wish I could have participated in a cooking class. The prayers were beautiful. Loved the group dinner night. I also appreciate the incredible atmosphere that is Vaidyagrama. So impressed with your efforts to respect the natural environment. The surroundings are lovely.
Thank you for taking such good care of us and for introducing us to your incredible world.
In peace.

This trip and stay at Vaidyagrama has been exactly what I needed. I put full faith in my yoga teacher Indu and Dr Ramadas, the healing community and as a result I am feeling so much better just in a short days. I have had low back pain chronically since 2014 and since my stay here. I have had no pain in my joints and I am able to lay flat on my back without needing to bend my knees to stop the back pain.
My body, mind and heart feel complete gratitude for this time here and honour to be able to experience this intentional healing environment.
I wish everyone here peace and love in their hearts and hope to stay in touch also thank you to Anjali, Bindu and Athira much love for beautiful heartfelt treatments and thank you to

I impulsively came on a trip to India especially because I wanted to immerse myself in Ayurveda to find healing beyond the physical layer, to heal something deeper in my mind, in my spirit. I have a feeling that the healing I have experienced here will also have many layers, will continue to create ripples as I integrate back to my life in Los Angeles. Understanding the integrity Vaidyagrama is built upon, integrity not just in caring for your patience but your community and environment deeper my understanding of the depth of Ayurveda. The expanse and the reach the layers and the consciousness. I am grateful for the experience, and to be able to see more clearly into myself as a result of my experience here. Vaidyagrama will leave on in my heart even as I am 9000 miles away. Thank you to my therapist Bindu and to my doctors specially Dr Vasudevan for his compassionate care, for encouraging me to cry I’m still working on it.
Thank you Vaidyagrama.

Last but not the least my chief Dr. Harikrishnan and the other doctors for their patience, time and efforts in making me feel better.

Great that such a place exist. Good luck and thanks for taking care of me.

2. Please offer a choice of main meals if possible
3. A kettle in the room would be much appreciated
4. Please arrange excursions to see beautiful places nearby
I would like to thank all the doctors and staff for their kind hospitality and being so nice to me for the past 21 days.

This was our first stay in Vaidyagrama and after experiencing such a wonderful time here, hopefully, we will plan next year also. Starting few days were quite difficult, due to our bad habits, addictions like morning tea and coffee, no TV, oily food etc. But slowly and gradually we got to know about Ayurvedic principles, treatment methods, and then started adapting to it and ended with more liking it. My mother in law is feeling much better, hopefully more improvement will take place. We have to keep patience. Vaidyagrama has wonderful staff, wonderful environment. Our Dr. Harikrishnan ji, he is so kind and so good at his job. Dr. Soniya, Dr.Sreeji have helped us so well, they are very sweet, very dedicated towards patients. Therapists Ms.Anju, Ms. Athira and Ms. Vidya were very helpful. Thanks to all so much.
Had a Wonderful experience.

This was my first time in an ayurvedic clinic and I imagined it being more of a spa, but apparently it was not. The panchakarma treatments were one of the hardest things in life, which helped me to even more realize my addiction to certain substances, furthermore, it made me realize the greed I had for satisfying my senses as much as possible. In conclusion, I will say that this is very healthy and pure place but some adjustments/improvements could be made. My only reason of coming here was health problem, which some started getting better, but for most important ones I cannot say anything, because it will take time. I believe in Ayurveda and I approve this place for being pure and reasonable. Rate: 8/10 – because there should always be space for improvements.

Stepping foot into Vaidyagrama immediately gave me a sense of peace and tranquility. The warmness of the staff at the reception. Sudhikshna, her smile just lifts up my day. Vaidyagrama has built and nurtured this surrounding and environment with the people, staff and Doctors so perfectly. I am amazed at the charitable initiatives happening as well.
I have understood the nature of my body in my short 4 days stay here and never have I had such a pure understanding of the root of my diseases.
I thank Dr Ramanandan and Dr Vinod who understood and explained my body nature to me and looked after me spiritually as well. Thank you to the staffs Lavanya, Mekha, who consciously made my treatments so wonderful and took care of me. I would like to visit Vaidyagrama again for 21 days.
This was only a teaser to Ayurveda for me. I have already learned so much in my 4 days here. I really enjoyed the Satsangs with the Doctors here, who shared their years of experience, experiments and knowledge with me.
Thank You Dr Ramanandan, Dr Ramadas, Dr Harikrishnan and Dr Vinod for giving me the tools to embark on a healthier, sustainable lifestyle, to help me physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
Namaste!

This place, These people, This time.
So much love given and received. Prayers of peace and reverence. Simple healing food, natural medicines, strong and purifying treatments (ghee anyone?)
Devotion all around with great care and love.
I became a child again, receiving the bath, body receiving deep and Thorough touch. A member of this great and beautiful natural world.
Receiving and hearing from the six seen swaying leaves, the tender sound of birds, the welcome breeze, a glimmer of morning sound are just the right words @ just the right moment. My mind remembers now how to let go rather than following the body. At last satsang wisdom, eyes shining, hands touching hearts and kindness smiles daily.
Receiving, receiving, receiving,
Thank you, life!
Deep appreciative love.
May all that Vaidyagrama family gives in such humility and love return to bless you all and all.

Thank you for the great, if challenging, experience. Thanks to all my doctors for their incredible patience, to all my sweet therapists, other staffs and to my fellow patients/inmates. You all made it an enjoyable stay. You know you’ve had treatment at Vaidyagrama when you - in spite of dreaming of the days of your escape for weeks and frequently fantasizing about running away and starting to find yourself getting increase in soul as the last days go by and you would (almost)be willing to drink more ghee to stay a little bit longer.

Vaidyagrama –a true healing place for the body and the soul. This was my first time here at Vaidyagrama and in India. After some difficulties at the beginning of my stay here, Vaidyagrama turned out to be a really good one. It was a healing for the body, and also for the mind. Thank you so much for making this place a home. It really does feel like that. Thank you for your good energy, for your smiles and for your knowledge. Thanks to all the staffs, therapists and a special thanks to my doctors Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr. Aruna, Dr. Soniya and Dr. Mini, your works are truly appreciated.

Dear Vaidyagrama team, thank you so much for another deeply rejuvenating stay here in this sacred sanctuary of healing - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I feel deeply renewed. Each meal that arrives sweetly in my room causes a wave of gratitude to arise for all the hands and heart that have placed this perfect food here for me. It seems that as Vaidyagrama grows, it's amazing identity, purity and loving atmosphere doesn't get diluted but gets strengthened. It's a gift to be part of this vision as it unfolds. And I am grateful to the garden which has not only flourished into the place of Magical beauty and spiritual nourishment, but also provided medicinal leaves for the potalis that were a part of my healing adventure. And thank you all for the profound and astonishing Pujas that have been held while I have been here. May you all be blessed. Doctors, Therapists, Gardeners, Cooks, Staff. You all uplift my heart.

It was “GRACE” that brought me to Vaidyagrama. I got a new lease of life and a new perspective of looking at life and myself. It was my sister who insisted I come here and gifted me this treatment. A gift I will always cherish. “GRACE” is what I sensed all around. As I came, we had the Navagraha poojas for 7 days. It was such an awesome experience to be in that energy field. I sailed through the Ghee treatment without any trouble, all thanks to Gods among us. Each and every one, the staff, the admin, all were so good and patient with me. And above all, the doctors were like precious gems each with their special value. Ever grateful to each one of them. My pranams and gratitude to Dr. Harikrishnan for not only treating me but also guiding me to energy from my own inner turmoil and darkness. It was a special experience and I look forward to coming again in Nov 2020. Thank you Vaidyagrama for sharing such a lovely healing experience with so many people. And the atmosphere here is so genuine and pure.

To everyone at Vaidyagrama,
I came here on faith really. I had no idea what to expect. Everything that I hoped to gain; personal insight, rest, better habits, self-knowledge, Ayurvedic knowledge, friends, it was all realised. What you all have done and are still doing is an example for the world to see how we can live more in harmony with our neighbours and our habitat and ourselves.
The body, the heart and the mind are all well-nourished here.
I look forward to returning one day and seeing how the landscape has grown and how the facility has expanded and benefits the community.

Dear Doctors, Staff of Vaidyagrama,
This place is truly inspirational for me and all of us that visit for some years. Now, I have dreamed of a healing sanctuary where I live in North Carolina and now I was able to visit here at Vaidyagrama that is a model for us all around the world.
I’m leaving with a lot of tears because of the immense love and care I have felt from you all and this special space/place you have created. One of the most touching aspects is to see the family that you all have made here and wish that we all feel that sense of family, love, devotion and commitment that is present at Vaidyagrama in our own homes’ workplace.
I can’t thank you enough for all the care I have felt during my treatment. I look forward to our paths crossing again wherever/whenever that is.

Such a beautiful healing environment. Humble, knowledgeable Doctors and loving therapists. I am so grateful for the many layers of healing I have received. I cannot believe a place with as much integrity and goodness exists in this world. I will be back again and again.
Thank you for protecting and practicing the beautiful art of science of Ayurveda. The food is wonderful. So many good friends were made.
One wish is that each bathroom would include a foot stool. The toilets are too high! We should be in proper ergonomic position while using toilet.

What an adventure this have been from not knowing of what panchakarma really meant, to going through the protocol and coming out the other end so to speak feeling so nurtured. I am grateful for all the peaceful moments, for the prayers, morning and night and the internal transformation that has taken place daily during my stay. The loving staff and support of all the workers (in whatever capacity) has been tremendous and the vibrations always positive has been duly noted as well as appreciated. I am also grateful to experience this ancient Vedic tradition which I was not so very familiar with and which my interest has been pacified. I can hardly wait to get home and read more about Ayurveda and find some delicious recipes. The Satsangs were so very appreciated and so much information was imparted to us all, so we had a better understanding of what/why we were doing. So much gratitude and feel for all the doctors, staffs and Dr. Ramkumar for holding the vision for this healing community. Thank you ever so much. I am already planning my next trip here. Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr. Aruna and Dr. Soniya, for all the love you send out return to you a thousand-fold.

It is truly wonderful that there is a place like Vaidyagrama. It provides healing both to the body and soul, tranquillity and last but not least hope. I am new to Ayurveda but I have heard from many more experienced guests here and admin that the approach here is most authentic in every detail. From treatments to diet, to walkways and schedule.
I am also highly impressed that it goes beyond healing individuals to healing the society by being at the actively involved in the community life.
Thanks to all doctors, team who provided treatment, everyone working here whom I may not have even seen, administrator for mailing.
The only thing that I missed was yoga with light stretching and breathing exercises that would not interfere with the treatment. I think it would be a great addition to daily routines.

Vaidyagrama is such an impressive place. It does not do what many institutions do, which shackle the imagination and make a stone of the heart. To the 200 or so people who work here (and good on you for providing so many jobs), a big thank you. Your daily solicitations have been more than I expected. Visits to my room- continuously bringing in gifts of food, water, caregiving. The architecture lends itself to good karma. So cool and shady and calm. The treatments themselves surprised me. Never have I had such experiences before. But they seem to work along with the diet of very bland but healthy food. I feel extremely detoxed for sure. You have a wonderful community here. Long may it live and thrive and expand. Thank you, Doctors, thank you therapists and all catering and cleaning and admin staffs.

What an unexpected bonus I have had giving company to my wife, Aruna Sairam and daughter Maitreyi Krishnaswamy at Vaidyagrama. Though not as a patient, I underwent treatment under the able advice and guidance of Dr. Harikrishnan. It was a 7 day oil massage and the eighth one included a steam bath. Felt totally tuned up to ideal state; physically, mentally and spiritually.
During the three weeks of my stay, I consumed much to my admiration every little detail of Vaidyagrama. The layout, the well planted herbal trees and plants giving a sense of wilderness and surrender to nature.
The Doctors; Harikrishnan, Vinod, Ardent, and Prameela were wonderful to interact with. The therapists Santhosh and Sooraj were extremely good. The staffs in charge of serving food and cleaning the rooms were all uniformly charming and service oriented.
The staff in the office be it Kavitha, Athira, Aparna etc were full of warmth.
It is said, money and machine can be easily managed but not MEN. Vaidyagrama to me is an exception. The men are also well managed.
Today we were taken all around Vaidyagrama by Sudishna and Varada in a SUV. The goshala, the new cluster in the making, the home for abandoned children and kitchen for the poor, for the villages, closely headed by Mr. Menon and of course the sanitary pad manufacturing section filled me with a sense of enormous happiness reducing me to a silent awe.
My wife and daughter have expressed that their health had taken a quantum leap towards cure.
What more I can expect.
GOD BLESS VAIDYAGRAMA!

My 28 days panchakarma is over. It is very difficult to summarize so many feelings to experience. It is gratitude and love. It is the remarkable improvements in my health and wellbeing. It is the lot of friends I made here. Thank you, Vaidyagrama for your Indian hospitality and nurturing warmth. For your patience and healing energy.
I have been to many ayurvedic hospitals and resorts and I know for sure, I found the best on the planet. Thank you, the team, Dr. Ramanandan, all doctors, Therapists, supporting staffs.

In a world filled with extremes, ranging from stress, exhaustion, commitment to do more and illness, Vaidyagrama is an oasis of healing, spirituality and community. There are few pieces I have ever experienced this level of love, compassion, dedication and conviction to a mission of health and wellbeing. The staff, therapists, and Doctors work tirelessly on behalf of the patients to ensure we have a positive experience. I was unsure what to expect on my arrival here, but I am leaving filled with the knowledge and certainty that my life has been altered in some very important ways. The gift of slowing down and doing less is critical to wellbeing and everything at Vaidyagrama, supports this. I leave here feeling more rested, rejuvenated and committed to my own healing than any other time before. Thank you to all of the people who were part of this experience- you amazed me. From morning chanting to treatments to Satsangs- you deliver a well-rounded program that cannot help but heal those who are fortunate enough to come here.
Thank you, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Anupama and Dr. Ardent for your detailed and compassionate cure. It was a pleasure getting to know you all. Thank you to my wonderful therapists- Rincy, Aiswarya, Vaishnavi, Rachel, Shyni, Dhanya, and Devaki. You are all amazing!
I look forward to coming back and continuing this journey with all of you.
Thank you.

Thank you for a wonderful experience, the love and commitment, I have received here has been amazing.
Thank you for your time and patience with me. I haven’t found the mosquitos very easy and have not been able to eat much of the food, but I felt you tried to accommodate me. Dr. Ramadas is truly a Saint! So kind. Thank you, with much love. And thank you to all the other doctors, therapists, cleaners, gardeners and all who work behind the scenes. Vinita stood out for me, truly a graceful and empathetic lady. I felt she really cared for people. Keep up the good work Vaidyagrama. Blessings be to the children’s home and blessings be to you all.
I am with you and you are with me as we walk the road together.

Vaidyagrama, the healing village is a truly unique place and my three weeks here has been a life changing experience. The ambience with surrounding trees and singing birds makes it so very special. The days begin with prayers and concludes with the reciting of powerful ‘Lalitha Sahasranamam’. In between are the treatments and Satsangs. The Satsangs were so informative and thought provoking.
The treatment segments i left it from the hands of Doctors. The team of Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Ardent, Dr. Anupama, and Dr. Vinod was friendly, full of knowledge, competent and caring. The team consulted the other fellow doctor for input. I cherished this; I got the best care. The care and attention from the therapists were excellent, friendly and timely.
I greatly appreciate the Tridoshic approach for treatment and healing. A great big thanks for caring me.

I extend my deepest gratitude to Vaidyagrama; from my first contact with Aparna to the entire staff, I have received only kindness and support. The level of treatment and education was excellent and life changing. I can’t thank you enough for what you have given me.
Now, I am fully prepared to live a happy healthy life which hopefully will include many more visits to this wonderful place.
My one suggestion is that all employees (especially the ones giving treatment, handling food etc) have training and strict guidelines to protect the health of the patient when the employee is sick. It’s great to pray before treatment for the patient’s wellbeing but it’s equally important to wash hands and wear protective masks etc. This area could use improvement and supervision.
I wish I could list the names of everyone who helped me but it would fill an entire book! Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Vasudevan, Dr. Sajna, Dr. Aruna (who met me upon arrival), Kavitha, Aparna, Dr Ramkumar, the girls in reception, sudishna, sunitha(pharmacy), Dr. Vinod, the lovely woman who cleaned my room, you all remain in my heart.
Wishing you healthy happiness,

Thank you all for your wonderful hospitality and care given during our stay. All staff were very helpful and it was great to see them do their work with so much commitment and humility. I feel thoroughly important following the treatments and learnt many new things in regards to Ayurveda and general wellbeing. Though I found the lack of activity a challenge in the beginning, I have now realised how much unnecessary energy I was expending in actions that was not really adding in value to my well- being. It is towards the end of the visit that I feel 7days was too short and I look forward for visiting again for 3 week program.
Thank you all once again.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Hi, I am Sayaka Oka. I was staying in 105, I am teaching Ayurveda and Yoga in Tokyo, JP. My Guruji, Myra Lewin introduced me to this wonderful place and Dr Ramadas. I came here to experience the traditional treatment of Ayurveda, panchakarma. Thank you for being able to learn a lot of Indian tradition such as Pooja, satsang, Ayurvedic food, herbs and to meet various friends!
I really hope to come back to this wonderful home, Vaidyagrama soon. See you again.

Deep gratitude to all at Vaidyagrama, for creating such a peaceful and healing environment. What a beautiful way to finish my first visit to India. I feel especially nourished by the daily chanting at morning and evening prayers, the wonderful Yoga Nidra classes and visits to nearby Dhanwantari temple. It is also a joy to hear the wind moving through the trees and herbs here and to sleep nestled inside the mosquito net. So many lovely scents and sounds and new friends I will treasure. I feel blessed by my time here and smile to them to all those who will enjoy this space in the months and years to come.

The chief Dr. Ramadas met us and took our medical history and problems. We stayed for 3 weeks. During our stay we were well taken care by the doctors and staffs. We were given treatment which included oil massages. This is something we looked forward and enjoyed it. There were also activities like the satsang by doctors and Vedic talks. All Doctors, Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Sajna, the therapists and helpers were helpful and always performed their duties with a smile.
Vaidyagrama is a beautiful place, with well laid out bungalows, away from the madding crowd. It is idyllic, serene and quiet. Besides Ayurveda treatment, it is good for anyone who wish to have a detox or a retreat. We would say our stay is a celebration and we are on the road to recovery.

Dear Doctors and Staff,
Thank you very much for taking care of my son and me. This was the 2nd time we were here. All the doctors and staff are friendly and caring. We thank you, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Ardent and Dr. Mini for the great care. Special thanks to Dr. Ardent for taking special care of my son during his ghee treatment. For treating him like a younger brother even when my son gave you stern look.
Even though this time my son did not get as much relief as last time, we have an insight into his illness. Thanks to Dr. Ramkumar for suggesting Astrologer.
Thank you for making last minute accommodation for us Aparnaji.

Being in Vaidyagrama for the fourth time, it was like come back home. It was like a retreat this time. Getting the chance to look at my inner world and, by chanting the prayers and the satsangs, to better understanding of the Hindu approach to the Universe, Hindu philosophy and religion, the connection between the world of Gods, of mankind and of the animals. I felt very well treated again by Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Soniya, Dr. Aruna and Dr. Sreeji and the therapists and I am deeply thankful to all of you. I liked the opportunity to get in contact with some of the patients. And I deeply respect the enormous endeavour of Geetha for the people living in the surrounding villages of her and all of you, to feed this hungry old ones and to look after the young ones and giving them the opportunity to go school and get the leaders of tomorrow. I hope to be able to continue this process of new insights. And coming back next year.

Deciding to come to Vaidyagrama was a perfect holiday gift I gave myself, a gift of presence being present with the body and mind.
Thanks to the fabulous team of doctors, therapists and the entire staff who comprehend responsibility, work restlessly, give cheerfully and practice accountability with utmost devotion and respect.
As I celebrate and honour this journey today, I humbly bow with the deepest gratitude to everyone here who has been a part of our healing journey.
We look forward to visiting Vaidyagrama next year.
Thank You all once again for all the care, support and healing energy.
Special thanks to all the doctors who presented during the satsangs. They were informative and very enlighten.

This is our second visit since Feb- Mar 2019 .The morning and evening prayer atmosphere here, physical layout, location away from all hustle/bustle (meaning quiet and no distractions) in addition to care and healing, regular attention to patients attached us back. The environmental awareness and the self-sustaining concepts are at work here- that is an added plus. We must thank Dr. Ramanandan ji, Dr. Vinod ji and the entire staff consisting of all therapists, laundry, housekeeping, IT, reception, accounting and pharmacy.
We wish continued growth to Vaidyagrama as they add new clusters.

To the Vaidyagrama family,
I don’t have words enough to express my gratitude towards each one of you here be it doctors, therapist, cleaning staff, kitchen staff, for the people in back office and reception.
Truly understood what it means to live a life full of humility, compassion, love, care and devotion and not just praise it.
I’m taking back so many life lessons back with me although my stay here was only eight days.
Lent the most valuable lesson of pulling oneself on the top of priority list and spreading the message of positivity.
I really hope I am able to carry forward some of my learnings is not all as I go back into the real world.
Thank you all once again from the bottom of my heart and hope to see you all again.

Dr Ramadas, and each and every doctors of Vaidyagrama has a healing hands and heart.
Thank you so much for giving me the mental and spiritual peace and strength. The kind of physical and mental peace experienced in last three weeks, I have never experienced before
Every person of Vaidyagrama staff has a positive smile on their faces.

Waking up at dawn with the sounds of birds, cows, cats, wind among the trees, leaves, I felt at peace and at home at Vaidyagrama and I am sad to leave. My therapist, lovely, gentle, smart, Vidya and others, served me my kashayam and saluted me with smiling faces always. Doctors took their time with me and I see in their eyes the genuine interest for the things I tell, a sincere effort to get to know me and for sure love. My room cleaning lady Shenbhagam came every morning with buckets of lemon grass smelling cleaning agents and we chatted about this and that as she cleaned my rooms spotless. Oh! I am impressed how everyone communicate in english. I was able to convey my message every time I needed to. I felt loved and cared for here. Dr. Aruna, Dr. Soniya, Dr. Sreeji checked in with me three times a day. Dr. Harikrishnan invoked trust in my heart, not only for ayurveda as a system but to entire humanity because in their efforts and personalities what we, humans were made out of originally goodness and light.
I am leaving with a touch of sadness in my heart as I already feel like part of a big family. But at the same time, I know that I will take them with me their love and care good memories, laughter and healing will travel through space in my heart. Like all families I know they will be there for me in times of need and I will surely come back again.
Much love and many greetings

A place where one is able to rest and reset, listening to the song of unknown birds, the wings of butterflies and heartfelt mornings and entering prayers..
Where there is time for watching the trees grow, the insects meditate or carry on with their duties.
A place where mosquitoes and cockroaches are befriended, as much as frogs and geckos.
Where we are so kindly and dedicatedly taken care of it is almost like being an infant again, in the hands of the grant mother.
With sleep gratitude to an extraordinary team of people, who made us rest and ready to nurture and give it back to the world in due time.
May the spirit of Vaidyagrama remain unspoiled.

Overall, another excellent experience at the healing village. Sure to come back.
Doctors=Excellent
Assistant Doctors=Marvellous
Therapists=Attentive & Gentle
Housekeeping=Absolute pristine cleanliness
Floor staff=Very friendly and attentive
Suggestions
1. Music in therapy needs to be toned down. Whole complex starts buzzing with unnecessary "noise".
2. Quality of music could improve. Not all flutes and chanting are pleasant to ears.
3. Some of the guest are no help either in terms of noise.
My very best to the entire Punarnava/Vaidyagrama family in sustaining this noble initiative. May the spirit of it continue and be blessed by the benevolent deities.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
It has been such a blessing and a privilege to have spent 21 days in a very special healing village amongst a team that makes us all feel special and loved. This is a place where people are happy. I loved the morning and evening prayers and the satsangs were truly educational and inspiring. I enjoyed the food and it was always a happy moment when the food would arrive.
It was wonderful to learn more about the history and philosophy of VG. I was very touched to hear about how you are not only looking after patients but also the wider community. This place feels very special and sacred. The purity of heart and authenticity runs very deep here.
I would also like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Ramadas, for his devotion not only to his patients but also to the prayers and satsangs.
And of course a big thank you to the Doctors, office staff, therapists, cooks, cleaners and everyone who contributes to making VG the special place it is. I will definitely be back.
I thank you Dr. Sajna for your warmth and dedication.

I highly appreciate the team of therapist crew who did their best for the treatment, as well as the serving of medicines and food in timely manner.
Finally I am very much thankful to the founders Of Vaidyagrama choosing their region in Tamilnadu and it is really a gift to the State of Tamilnadu as most of the Ayurvedic centres are in the state of Kerala. Vaidyagrama is a crown for this region.
My special thanks to Dr. Ardent who share his ideas and given me tips of Ayurvedic treatments

As my wife Lakshmi and I leave Vaidyagrama after a 2 weeks stay. Happily it has been a very satisfying experience and of course deep from Kerala, we felt at home speaking in Malayalam which itself give us a feeling of kinship. The accommodation facilities were comfortable and functions without an air conditioning unit. You are in the various treatments prescribed for you from morning to evening. In particular, the doctors took special particular care and attend to promptly to your every query. The environment was indeed natural. Chanting and the architecture merged well with it. All in all, we enjoyed thoroughly our experience and we look forward to coming back soon. Hope the centre gets to be more popular and many others will benefit from it.

This is my third trip to vaidyagrama. Each trip is better than previous trip. It is like a second home to me, I feel that way. This is a unique village in the world. Where they take care of their guest. Physical, Mental and emotional healing meet. People working in this village are always looking forward to help their guest. This community full of love, Joy and affection. As soon as you get out of from your room you are welcome with a big smile and greetings. No need to understand each others language. People come from all over the world and are ready to mingle with each a time international grama. In addition to the treatment lot of information is provided about Ayurveda and medically, healthy living. This 6000 years all science is amazing. It does not treat one ailment. But treats the whole body.
Doctors are just amazing and brilliant and on call 24 hours a day. Dr. Ramadas ji and his staff have been looking after during my last three trips. Dr. Ramadas is a very compassionate, caring, loving and multi talent individual. He is an excellent doctor, musician, spiritual leader. Gives good and easy lectures on Ayurveda and health. He loves birds has a good collector of their photography, takes good care of his staff. His physician under him are an excellent.

With lot of gratitude for the holy place Vaidyagrama. I will continue my journey and look forward what process will show up. Thank you all specially doctors, therapists, cooks and all the great people who work for the place. I learned a lot from the satsangs, watching birds from my terrace, from just being with me. To start and end the day with prayers in the temple was special for me. See you all again in this holy place.

I am so grateful for the care and the success of the treatments I received at VG.
Dr. Harikrishnan and his team was so kind he was so very encouraging. Dr. Harikesh was a joy to be around with his great smile at 6:00 am ghee treatments. Dr. Neethu went out of her way to have the medicine transport documents translated into Spanish for me. Dr. Ramadas morning and evening chanting of the prayers evidenced the fact that not only body, but spirit is treated at VG. Dr. Ramanandan kept our minds joyfull as the host of the weekly community dinners. My therapist a great team of guys and I especially want to thank to Anish for his care. Dr. Ramkumar Satsang evidenced the system of the the philosophy. I Will Forever remember him when I hear the word ‘practices’.

Oh my God! How desperately I was dreaming of this date – the date I’ll be going back to home. It is not because I don’t like it here, but because my therapy was more intense than I thought it would be.
But I knew I was in good hands, I always felt supported. All the therapists are very friendly and knowledgeable. Doctors are professional. I am glad I have chosen this place for panchakarma and would recommend this place to my friends. Special thanks to Dr. Aishwarya, Dr. Anupama as well as Lavanya, Mridula, Vaishnavi and of course to Dr. Ramanandan.

Vaidyagrama,
Excellent institution available faculty keeping the patient's requirements in mind. Events at the temple and Mandapam were excellent. Dr. Ramadas prayer sessions were mind blowing. what a voice, god bless him. Dr. Ramkumar explanation pertaining to Ayurveda principles were eye opener. We never thought of life in this perspective. Every step of Ayurveda and Panchakarma treatment was explained in details which helped us overcome our doubts on the process and path of the treatment.
Dr. Ramanandan
Our physician was excellent. Thank you doctor we did not have several medical issues; how ever he was always available to meet and discuss any issues we had. We were both satisfied with our treatments and will leave here with good memories
Dr. Athulya
Thank you for being our next to keen physician. She is not only great physician but a good administrator. She was always ahead of us, before we ask for anything she was already prepared and delivered immediately. She always had our needs in mind and delivered them. An excellent young physician.
Dr. Arun
We had few meetings with Dr. Arun both of us found him knowledgeable and always ready to help.
The Therapists
Thank you Santosh, Ratheesh, Ranjit on men's side and Akhina, Radhika and Abila on the ladies side for being patient with us and providing as excellent unforgettable therapy. They work hard and always smile no matter how difficult the treatment procedure. Jaya our housekeeper was excellent.

Treatment rooms are designed very well. All the doctors are well experienced and knowledgeable. Prayers and Satsang’s were very helpful in healing mind and body. Basics of Ayurveda and different Satsang’s on treatments are very helpful. Would like to see improvement in coordinating treatments timings, staff is very polite and ready to help anytime.
I would recommend anyone who want experience and authentic Ayurveda treatment in a peaceful, natural environment.
I wish the Vaidyagrama to grow into a big healing village.

Vaidyagrama,
Not knowing the details of what I was walking into Vaidyagrama was nothing but and I open experience from the architecture of the place to the treatment given to the patient is phenomenal.
Being Indian I knew Ayurveda was ancient form of medicine practice. The knowledge I received at Vaidyagrama in regards to Ayurveda was amazing. I am very curious to learn about Ayurveda and get the most benefits from it. After Vaidyagrama experience I truly believe Ayurveda has power to heal the body through the help of nature. Vaidyagrama is also a self-sustaining community which was great to see. They have made most out of the resources provided to them. Apart from the treatment activities provided by Vaidyagrama was very knowledgeable for people like me who did not know much about Ayurveda. I came to Vaidyagrama thinking follow my spiritual find / spiritual path. In the process I found Ayurveda. The knowledge all the doctors hold is amazing. I got to know so much new information about me and my body. My Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Athulya and Dr. Arun have been great
My personal favorite is Dr. Athulya, she is amazing and I could easily relate to her. She was very detailed in explain the procedures and its outcome. She was always available whenever we would have any questions. From deep down from my heart I would like to thank each and every person who made me and my uncle aunties stay amazing. Especially for my uncle. May Vaidyagrama continue impacting people life in positive way.

I was served excellent a fresh food, a medicine diagnosed using a deep knowledge of the body.
Special thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Mini for a strong team of intellect and discernment for my many physical and emotional needs.
Dr. Harikrishnan like a cool pond that sees deeply-spirit and care.
Dr. Mini - like a flowing river that bends and offers love as the force.
Both with a space that allows for many variations. The housekeeping staff were so attentive and curing as were the therapists.

Thank you for finding space for me at such short notice when it is your busiest time of the year. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to have one more panchakarma before the surgery (if needed to have it).
Thank you for the warmth and kindness of everyone at Vaidyagrama, but a very special thank you to shiny who works such long hours, looking after us all. shiny has such good and beautiful nature. I feel very lucky to have her as as a therapist
And lastly, thank you for the great opportunity to remind myself of what is important to have the space to reflect and relays. I always struggle to keep the strength alive, once I am back home, but I will keep trying - and at last I can always come back.

It is amazing to see how the community has grown with more young doctors and therapist joining the family the intentionality of creating harmony with environment and villages around. The extension of nurturing and caring elevates personal healing to greater responsibility. I feel I learnt so much hear each time I come. The After effect reflects in each aspect of life.

To everyone at Vaidyagrama,
Thank you for all the care and support over the last 3 weeks. To give the great Ayurvedic treatment that you do here is already an amazing thing, to compare it with the spiritual environment and learning is even more special and beneficial, but the true blessing comes with the love and heart felt care that accompanies each consultation and treatment. Am truly grateful for all that I have received.
In addition to the personal interaction, am truly inspired by the bigger community vision and intention to give back that Vaidyagrama Champions and is looking to implement.
May God give blessings and swift passages to all those intentions.
With much gratitude

Thank you to everyone in the vaidyagrama community. After last year I discovered so much. “LIVING WITH NATURE” and have benefited so much health wise and in general awarness. I was imperative that I return was not an option. I have felt really wonderful since being here and it has been another very positive healing/learning experience for me. Two things I wanted to say. First this time i was really affected by the mosquitoes and second one I felt the canter is crowded with patients that is some tension. I neverthless want to say thank you to the whole team and will share the positiveness of this place with all. I am very blessed to have been treated so well. Love and Happiness to everyone.

This is my second visit to the lovely place, Vaidyagrama. I spent a peaceful and useful 2 weeks under the able and professional care of Dr. Ramanandan and his team of dedicated doctors and therapists, particularly Dr. Aishwarya and Dr. Arun. They took very good care, receptive to the inputs given to them and gave suitable treatment which I would say was very relieving and satisfying. I am much better physically and mentally than I was on reaching Vaidyagrama. I had interactions with other doctors also and their friendly informative talk was very illuminating on the subject. Special mention about Dr. Ramanandan as he heard and explained each and every query, doubt or problem that was told to him by me, which was by itself refreshing.
Happy to have been in Vaidyagrama.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Firstly, I am so glad to have my first stay at Vaidyagrama for 10 days. I really appreciate I had this opportunity. Even though my stay was limited, I feel my body was purified and gained energies for future. Consulting with doctor removed my anxiousness and made me to take the treatment positively.
One day Dr Ramadas talked to me. That talking with me was neither his work nor duty, he is enjoying the conversation with patients. That’s the way of thinking and how to deal with my things. But this is really difficult in reality. In the hospital no patients tend to have doubt or anxiousness.
Doctor here was very close to us every day and had Satsang as well, these supports were very well appreciated. Treatments and therapists are all nice and very hard working. I also respected the work of housekeeping; facility was always kept clean and greenery is well maintained.
It was a great circumstance to feel relaxed and see inside of myself besides the treatment. I think I will remember this peaceful scenery for sometime, and want to come back.
Thank you again for everything!

My stay at Vaidyagrama for 3 weeks has been very rewarding inspite of some trying moments in between. Ultimately my colon ulcer symptoms have been greatly reduced, and I am returning much healthier, happier and satisfied.
I sincerely thank all the doctors, assistants and supporting staff for making my stay successful and comfortable. No one person can be singled out – they all contributed to my wellbeing with their overall care and concern.
The stay was enriched by the excellent and peaceful environs, the friendly interactions I had with other residents and the lively group activities. Of course, the sacred and devotional programs shall always resonate and inspire me.
All in all, it was true Ayurvedic holistic healing of the mind, body and soul.
Thank you very much!
Warm regards,

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
I thank you so much for the experience I have received, I came to Vaidyagrama with an open mind not knowing about Ayurveda medicine, healing, and treatments. When I arrived, I felt absolutely amazing. On my last day I have lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks. Conquered my addiction for smoking, and my mindset has also changed to the way I should be eating and preparing food for myself. I am ever so grateful for all you have done for me. I will never forget my experience here and would like to thank doctors and staff for everything they have done for me.

Thank you for all your care and patience. I feel I have received a great care. I feel privileged to be able to come to such a place and receive such healing. I was dismayed as I first didn’t have a room that I have previously booked. Better to have a computerised booking system. Treatments needs to be more consistent among the therapists, may be fortnightly workshops, where they practice on each other. Some therapists need to be sensitive to the body type of the patient and adjust style accordingly. Overall, I had a great experience of Vaidyagrama and see it a special healing place.
Thanks again Dr Athulya, thank you so much for looking after me so well. Hope to see you all again.

I have to do a very interesting thing here. I turned my bed to pillow in the program and I'm amazed with the results, my stiffness and muscle and joint pain has resolved. I'm sorry I won't take the kashayam. Dr. Ramanandan was very patient with me and I appreciate that because it helped me to settle in. I also liked Dr. Athulya and her arm- chair-side manner. She was very kind and understands my inability to remember what happened yesterday i.e., bowels, appetite etc.
My therapist works very kind and understanding, which help me at my treatment. My stay here was excellent.

Hi everyone, I am so happy to say that my second time here was just as magical and amazing as the first time two years ago. I brought my father, I am very pleased to say, is so much improved on so many levels. Just for that, I am so grateful to Vaidyagrama. He is like a new man again. As usual the time here is full of mixed experiences ups and downs, such is the process of deep healing. Yet always my doctors and therapists and the staff tirelessly and selflessly offered assistance I needed. A very heartfelt thank you to my wonderful doctors, The Incredible Dr. Ramanandan and the ever-patient, caring Dr. Athulya with whom I have really healed so much, especially in Dr. Ramanandan's absence.
As I remember from my last experience, I simply put my trust in doctors and their expertise in my treatment and that is all I needed. My experience was yet again so rewarding on so many levels. I lost some weight, which was getting very unhealthy. I am sleeping much better. My overall life being is upbeat and my mind is clear. I feel lighter in my body and mind which is amazing. In the end there is so much for which I am eternally grateful for. Too much to mention, but my experience here has been nothing short of awesome.
A few notes I am happy to say my Mandala drawings each day were my saving grace and I am happy to share them with the community. I will post the pictures to the Vaidyagrama community on facebook when I get back home.
A shout out to the ghee gang this year Mark, Atreya, Peter, Mike, Nick the king, Glynn, Tamara and all the brothers and sisters who share their experience. "In ghee we trust"!
Thank you, Vaidyagrama.
I will keep you in my heart until we meet again.
Many blessings of light and love!

My heart is full and my mind at peace as I leave Vaidyagrama. Am so grateful that I trusted the universe and decided to come here after a friend recommended Vaidyagrama. Everything about this place exceeds my Expectations. Having studied Ayurveda over the past year, it was the perfect place to depend my knowledge and experience.
First hand from the sources, what is Ayurveda!
Thank you to everyone that made this experience memorable. I will remember the kindness from all, the most.
Much love,

Thank you dear Vaidyagrama team!
All the doctors, the therapists, the staff for the wonderful treatments and for taking care!
The energy in Vaidyagrama is exceptional - in tune with nature + environment. Vaidyagrama is a team working together with a beautiful positive energy. There were many moments of laughing with Dr. Ramadas.
I am impressed about the concept of Vaidyagrama!
I am leaving, very inspired to continue Ayurvedic life style and will come back, maybe to try creating a cultural exchange with our students in Switzerland and here.
Thank you all very much!

Vaidyagrama was a great heaven for me. I came exhausted, not very well and I was softened with the kind words of doctors, the relaxing treatments and the atmosphere. The phone did not ring, the internet did not work everywhere, so all in all I could rest and relax. I enjoyed the satsang, the discussion and conversation that we had - on the body, the health and what is good for body and mind.
I have been very impressed with Vaidyagrama. The therapists were warm and lovely, the doctors very attentive, Dr Arun and Dr.Athulya have been absolutely patient with all my questions. Dr Ramkumar is inspiring, Dr Ramanandan is absolute wonderful healer who one can trust and respect. Dr. Ramdas is great too, reminds me of a South Indian film hero. His energy is so calming. He first smoothened me when I arrived by looking at my reports and test.
I wish everyone the very best. I thank each and every one who has helped me to sit and relax while I have been here.

This is an impressive place I have had treatments I could not have dreamt of if I tried, and I have been made up of 90% ghee in every cell. I am particularly impressed with the way this place has come together and the philosophy that holds it together.
The treatment itself has brought up a lot, and I am so curious to see how the next month unfold.
Thank you Dr. HariKrishnan for your quiet, powerful presence and easy smile, deep knowledge and kind, wise words. Dr Mini, thank you for your skill, warmth, patience and rich humanity. Lakshmi is the queen of the treatment room and a beloved presence, and I am so impressed with Anju only 2 years here, and so strong and skills. And I was blessed with a smiling, beautiful angel who came to my room daily to clean and take care. I have got such a lot of Satsangs and loved the poojas. Thank you to Aman for always smiling and blessing us with his sweetness. I will miss the orchestra of birds' song and watching all the wildlife and the beauty. Do well and keep it up!

Always a pleasure to be back home! To be back among people in whom such kindness and integrity abounds, people who can inspire us to stretch our limits and inspire towards a cleaner, more harmonious life.
Thank you Dr. Ramanandan and your team of Dr Athulya and Dr. Arun for your strength and wise guidance, and the incredible team of therapists headed by the amazing Devaki, Mridula, Anita, Lavanya, Radhika and Sameena. You took care of us in the therapy room as well of as our food needs and request for hot water in the oddest of hours.
I take back precious memories of Dr Ramdas's melodious chants and the inhale exhale rhythmically. Thank you Dr Ramkumar deeply for the philosophical satsangs, and all the amazing team in office and the kitchen who have all together made it a memorable stay.
Till next year, a big thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope to stick to the regimen you have advised and will come back new year with my vata pitta kapha in better balance.
Lots of love,

I appreciate the attentive good care given by everyone here. I always felt that I was being watched over and was very confident in the expertise and depth of knowing.
With that said, I wonder if the staff could be responsive to the words ‘come in’ or ‘enter’ I’ve spoken at many times and no one seems to get it! There seems to be a lot of shyness around entering the patient room… a small point!
Thanks much! This place is great!

We are happy with the treatment, massages and medicines. Dr Harikrishnan and Dr Mini are very good and loving and they took care of us. We are happy with the Temple, the way they do Pooja and homams, and we feel very good. Even staff is also very good. All doctors and therapists are very good. They treat us very well. I am happy with the Ayurveda care here.

Dr Ramadas and Dr. Sajna, thank you for your compassionate and kind care, thank you for sharing your wisdom, time and attention during our stay here.
I have gratitude for Dhanya for taking good care, day after day without any break.
I am thankful to Jaya who cleaned the room and collected laundry and address your concerns for any bugs which we are not accustomed to live with anymore in USA.
So thankful to the kitchen staff for preparing our meals three times a day, and tea and snacks or soups. I definitely ate well.
Thank you all the staff members for their kind loving care and pampering which feel so healing.
I have gratitude for all the work that is being done for the community led by Geetha; it is such a delight to see the efforts to teach and reach out to the community. I wish her luck for opening the girl’s school and other projects.
Thanks to Aparna and Sonia for organising a stay here and for arranging the tour.
Thanks to the staff of front office and back office for arranging all the services with a smile, and lastly thanks to all the staff we didn't get into interact but we know that this place wouldn't run smoothly without you all.

I came here ignorant and left with knowledge for the rest of my life.
Thanks to the compassionate staff and doctors. I felt very welcome here and very at ease.
I cannot think of a better environment to heal and learn. I agree with the principle of "simple". It helps a person figure out what is important. A special huge thank you to Dr. Ramanandan. I absolutely was successful because of the wisdom and compassion and intelligence of Dr. Athulya. She is best and also special person.
Thank you to my favorite therapist Abhila.

Being my first time in Vaidyagrama and I'm doing panchakarma, I can happily say it was a wonderful and eye-opening experience. I'm glad I got to do it here at Vaidyagrama. It is truly a place with great intention and it really comes through in all the staff how they are caring, kind and super attentive. The satsangs were very helpful and insightful. Talking to other patients helped through process, and was good to get to know like-minded people from different parts of the world.
I will definitely be back and will spread the word and the details of Vaidyagrama's aim and goals because it is such a wholesome and beautiful project that the world could use more of, not only the healing but all the other parts of this life project.
Thank you to everyone for the collective care.

Thank you again for looking after us so splendidly!
As you know we arrived after some very sad family news and Nasim caught up a painful ailment on the way. I apologize for my short temper which I feel was caused by the above circumstances. Now we head home to East Africa, a lot more rested, healed and in better harmony.
Thank you again to all of you and especially the lead doctors.

Coming to the place with an open-ended mind, I have nothing but my bro in law's drastic change in his life to go by.
What a wonderful experience. Losing weight was only ideal to the lifestyle change and the relax mind.
The doctors and therapists were wonderful, kind and interested in my progress.
Thank you so much. Special shout out to Ratheesh, Sooraj, Santhosh, Radhika, Abhila and Akina for all of their patience and good humour.
Dr. Athulya and Dr. Ramanandan helped me every step of the way.
Cheers to everybody!

Thank you everyone at Vaidyagrama to have made our stay of 19 days so memorable. Special thanks to the doctors Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini, Dr.Harikesh for being patient and always around.
Most authentic place for having Ayurvedic treatment, environment is so peaceful and all the people also caring and loving. Amazing visit to the Balagrama (home for children), Nivrittigrama (home for elderly).
Satsangs were very informative, specially by Dr Ramkumar who is the founder of this place. He has so much knowledge and despite his busy schedule takes out time to speak to everyone and clarify doubts in any subject. Food is very well designed; some people make complaints, but it is the right food (satvic). It has a lot of flavor. I am definitely coming back with a group of friends to let them experience Ayurvedic way of living.

Thank you for having us especially at such short notice, and then even arranging the extension of 3 days. The extension goes to show that the experience has been memorable. Everyone from the therapists to the housekeeping and most importantly the doctors have been patient, friendly and helpful. The afternoon satsangs have been very knowledgeable I have found a new favorite herbal tea here, hopefully this will get me over my milk, tea and coffee habits.
I have learnt simple and healthy eating habits from Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini and Dr.Harikesh. Thank you! for all the help and guidance. I had come with complaints of frequent mouth ulcers, shoulder pain and knee pain. I go back feeling a lot better with no occurrence of above in past 3 weeks. I am sure I will be back soon, if not for treatment, then just for 5 to 7 days getaway.

What an experience this has been. I have let go of old patterns that no longer serve me, and eagerly wait to go home and explore. There have been many highs and lows and I feel humbled by my time here. Though my stay here has been short, I feel transformational energy which was subtle but powerful, I thank everyone at Vaidyagrama for the time of healing with all of you.

My wife and I have been coming to Vaidyagrama since last eight years and after being looked after so well we feel we are rejuvenated. I can say so, as we are in our late 80’s!!! Our thanks to Dr. Hari Krishnan and his team of young doctors who looked after us so well with their care and attention, especially when we were under the weather. Our thanks also to the therapists and the staff who have been so kind and helpful.
Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Ramadas followed our care too during our stay. Last but not least, Dr. Ramkumar who had the Vision of this center, and who is now embarking on a greater objective which will bring benefits to nearby villages.
With our thanks and good wishes to you all,

My deepest gratitude to all the loving and caring doctors, therapists and staff members of VG for providing such a wonderful satvik healing atmosphere,
I consider myself very fortunate that such a place exists in the modern world and that I got to come here for my physical and spiritual healing.
This trip has been particularly good and I am returning with a lot of optimism. I have also benefited a lot from a spiritual perspective, had a number of insights about my mind and my Prakrti which are causing some of the health issues.
I want to specially thank Dr. Harikumar for not giving up on me when I have sleep issues and acidity continuously for so many days. I hope to apply the lessons I have learnt hear through doctors counselling and Satsangs in my daily life so that I can fulfil my Dharma and achieve my life's mission.
With sincere thanks and much gratitude.

I cannot thank enough my therapists Dhanya, Indu, Kalpana especially Dhanya for her continuous, conditional and cheerful services and presence. I am inspired by her diligence and duty consciousness ...God bless her.
Grateful to the cleaning staff for keeping the room and premises clean.
I take back the memory of the friendly and smiling faces.
Aparnaji, your immediate response to my desperate request to be accommodated here during this period has made this possible for my husband and my healing. Your warm friendliness and reaching out to people may be cherished always.
Activities at Vaidyagrama were wholesome, soulful and great learning experience especially the Satsangs.
We wish for the growth and wellbeing of this awesome place through our prayers and blessings.
Last and the most important, the food and medicines. I heartily thank all those who made it possible for the divinely cooked food arrived at the table many at time in a day, and the carriers of the food, Kashayam, soups, fruits etc.

Dr Ramadas, Dr Harikumar, Dr Sajna, Dr Renjisha are compassionate, have a lot of love and care and very knowledgeable. The treatment is exceptional. I feel light, energetic and motivated. I follow the guidelines of Ayurveda.
Satsangs by Dr Ramkumar, Dr Ramadas and Dr Ramanandan were very informative, the principles of Ayurveda were very easily explained.

I wish to thank all garden staff and cleaning staff for their services; also the kitchen staff for the excellent food served timely at our homes deserve all praise and also gratitude.

This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama. I was little apprehensive before coming, how am I going to stay alone and what treatment would they do. Since this is also my first Ayurvedic treatment.
The doctors here, Dr Ramanandan, Dr Aishwarya, Dr Anupama and the therapists Vaishnavi, Mridula are all so caring. Never once felt out of place or missed family.
The treatment given has relieved me of the continuous low back pain which I have had for months. Had tried all sorts of treatments, but of no use. This was my last resort and proved to be a God given boon.
What can I say about the place – so beautiful and serene, it’s a beautiful resort for wellbeing and rejuvenation.
Thank you to all doctors and therapists again.

The doctors, Therapists and staff are extremely caring and thoughtful.
Dr.Ramadas and his team are amazing healers. My mind is clear and my body is on its path to recovery!
Thank you for making a skeptic like me believe that small changes can lead to a greater good.
Keep up the good work rest assured I will be back whenever I need a little extra loving care.

I have had a wonderful stay here, thank you so much for the care and attention you so generosity give.
You staff is a delight, and the doctors so caring and reassuring.
Blessing to you all.
Please improve the food. For those of us that are new to Panchakarma it is difficult to eat and makes the treatments harder to manage.
Keep growing yourself so well!

Dear team Vaidyagrama,
I came here not knowing what to expect and it's surprised my expectations with your authenticity in your treatments and bringing me back to traditional routines and habits that I had steared away from.
The food was clean, creative and although simple, felt wholesome and full of Prana.
For me rice kanji was the challenge but after learning its goodness I will try include it in my diet.
Personal big thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr.Neethu, Dr.Mini .
Dr Harikesh made me feel safe in his care and shared some insights that I will try to follow and imbibe. Gratitude to Dr Neethu - sweet cheerful and friendly but also means business when it comes to her work. Thank you doctor (loved the smile)
Dr Mini is so easy to talk to and comforting and made me feel settled here and her husband’s yoga nidra is something I looked forward to.
The therapists are so special - Sreeshma, Salini, Deekshita thank you for taking such good care of me and making me feel like a child again.
The dedication and passion is seen so strongly in the Founder doctor, team of doctors therapists, housekeeping, maintenance and staff each person is soft spoken, polite, clean and compassionate. The human spirit is of highest value here. The Karma yogi fellow residents were all a delight.
If there is a downside I would say the weather and first two days of adjusting to fall into the new regime here. I enjoyed the Satsangs, Pooja, group dinners and the late evening chitchat session in the breeze. I didn't get the name of the housekeeper but she was lovely. So much warmth wherever she met me and so sincere with her work.
The special creativity of the kitchen for the group dinner was the highlight for me the yam cutlet. I had almost given up on yam. The entertainment was heart-warming. Doctors and all the staff sound like professional singers. The trust work being undertaken is impressive, such selfless acts of high magnitude with desire to aim higher and crazy effort by Geetha - hats off for bringing all that you have brought to reality in a short 6 years. It’s unbelievable on hearing but she gave a guided tour which made it believable and what made it special was to see your passion for it. Great experience I will cherish.
Best wishes and much gratitude

To everyone at Vaidyagrama
The first three days here were tough going and my wife and I did think about going back. But better sense prevailed, thank god we stayed back.
My wife and I feel so much better both mentally and health wise and have realised the benefits of moderation.
The staff, the doctors, the therapist are personally caring which is very heart-warming.
Special thank you to Dr. Neethu, Dr.Mini and Dr. Harikrishnan.
At first we were counting the days when we would leave Vaidyagrama and now that the time has already come there is a sadness one feels when one is leaving a home.
Thank you all at Vaidyagrama for pointing us in the right direction and my wife and I hope that we can walk the right path.
Much love and warm regards.

My four weeks stay was a very good experience for me. All the doctors and therapists were always helpful and kind. I was also very happy about all the satsangs, which gave me a better understanding of Ayurveda.
I’m also very impressed by the efforts undertaken to live in tune with nature by applying sustainable methods wherever possible and also being an integral part of the greater community outside of Vaidyagrama.
In future I think it would be great if it was easier to follow the most beneficial diet here during the treatment, i.e. no Jaggery in the tea, less salt and pepper etc.
Also I think the organization could be improved and may be introduce more standardized practices to ensure that the quality remains high.
Thank you all for making my time here at Vaidyagrama such a wonderful experience!
Wishing you all the best for the future and I hope our paths will cross again.
With gratitude,

Vaidyagrama is really growing for the betterment of human beings in true sense.
Doctors, both seniors and juniors, therapists, housekeeping people and everybody is so nice and carrying out their duties honestly and religiously.
Activities like satsang and others are also an important component for understanding of Ayurveda and the healing of the patients.
Respective doctors meet their patients on daily basis and address their issues keenly and fix the treatments accordingly.
It is truly an abode of wellness.

Thank you all for such a nourishing rejuvenating experience here at Vaidyagrama for these three weeks every day was filled with love, Indhu’s calm and reassuring professionalism made me so comfortable during my vasti days. Dhanya’s consistency and efficiency was always helpful and Prema’s abhyanga / dinacharya treatment on my last day was so loving and sent me off with the most joyful heart.
I always appreciated Dr Sajna’s thoroughness and careful consideration of my questions. Dr Ranjisha was also so willing and helpful and of course Dr Ramadas with his loving infectious love and good cheer made every consultation medicinal and nourishing. Dr Harikumar also took time to speak with me and share his guidance for healing which was so helpful. The housekeeping staff was delightful and friendly keeping our home away from home beautiful and clean. Hakeem and Keerti always friendly and smiling even while so busy behind the scenes. Thank you also to Megha, Athira and Archana also attended to my body with love and care. All the therapists were lovely.
This place continues to be most important place I come to do my own healing. Surrounded by nature and these caring souls, my soul is nourished and my mind remembers how to be a team member on this project of healing. Thank you for holding and protecting this precious intention for all of us. It is important, so important work that you all do in the middle of this busy modern world thank you for helping me slow down and remember.
With love,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Thank you so much for the healing experience. This is the longest period that I am away from my family and an amazing experience to be with myself and with my body. I have learnt that our body is a god’s gift and we can’t mess with it by putting anything in it. Here I understand about my body, the food we eat, drink, all matters .I thank each and every person for their kind hospitality from reception, maintenance staff and staff which gives us medicine and food time to time hats off to them. In the morning 6 a.m. they used to give us medicine, then Tea etc. Thank you so much too. Thank you so much to Dr Ramadas , Dr Harikumar , Dr Sajna, Dr Sivajothi, and Dr Ranjisha for taking immense care of me .
Thank you Aparna ji and Geethaji for your cooperation and guidance.
Big thanks to the therapist Kalpana and Geethu. I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to be here the stay in Vaidyagrama made me change my personality. Vaidyagrama continue to grow in its strength by the grace of God.
Thanking you and best wishes,

Thank you team Vaidyagrama! I had not dreamed of this place being so beautiful in every aspect. Truly felt that my body is a temple here. Taking back with me healing on all levels, body, soul, mind, emotion and intellect.
Intend to come back soon for 21days treatment.
Deepest gratitude to Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini, Dr.Neethu, Dr.Ramadas, Dr.Ramanandan all the therapists and entire staff who has helped me heal in this beautiful temple of healing rather than a hospital.
I loved the satsang, healing prayers, cow pooja, cooking classes, Rudrabishekam and the morning and evening prayers at the temple.
Going back very rejuvenated and with a positive frame of mind. Feeling very spiritually connected also to the entire environment at Vaidyagrama.
Wish to contribute and help in whatever way I can. God bless each and everyone here. Million thanks.

This was our first time at Vaidyagrama and we were not sure what to expect. We knew that this was a healing village - but we didn’t know what that actually meant.
However Dr.Mini + Dr. Harikrishnan, and all the staff at Vaidyagrama have taken great care of us. Not only have they taken care of our physical wellbeing, but also our mental and spiritual wellbeing too.
Everything at Vaidyagrama is conducive to healing - from the Satsang’s, treatments, festivals, workshops and the entertaining group dinners.
We have received a wealth of knowledge and useful tips to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Our heartfelt gratitude to e anyone at Vaidyagrama for making us feel comfortable and at ease. We will definitely miss everyone!
Until next time, we are excited to see how this place and community grows to help more people.
With gratitude,

I am very grateful to everyone here at vaidyagrama for the gentle but powerful healing experience, especially to Dr Neethu for who took such care of me, was a good listener and sometimes a stern voice she is already a gifted healer and will become an even better one overtime.
I am also grateful to Dr Harikrishnan, a man of few words but with the wealth of knowledge and experience, I feel very confident he was giving me what I needed even though some of the treatments where unpleasant. The staff and therapists were also gentle, caring and expert and I am grateful to all of them. I took a magic step towards better health in this time. I have been on statins for many years .I listened to Dr Ramkumar’s satsangs so that taking a strong medicine over many years will likely harm my body, it is a point that I worried about for many times. So I decided that I will control my cholesterol via diet, exercise and healthy lifestyle instead of statins.
I am very grateful to Dr Harikrishnan for giving me a strategy for achieving this goal.
Thank you

I want to thank the doctors, for the kind and gentle care for their patience and for noticing all the small and big details and seriously taking them all into consideration.
Thank you for making me feel so safe and that i am being taken care of especially in the most challenging moments - I never felt alone
Thank you for giving me confidence in my healing journey.
Thank you Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Neethu
And also Dr Mini and Dr Harikesh.
Many thanks also to the therapists for their soft, respectful and gentle care, always with a smile during the massages and when providing all the small and big details of the daily life.
And of course to the cook, housekeeping and all other people - without them things at Vaidyagrama would not have worked so smoothly and the feeling of being at home would not have been.
I am going home with a clean and happy body with relaxed mind .With confidence on the treatments I got and in my continuous healing journey.
Thank you

This is our first time to experience Ayurvedic treatments. We did not know what to expect and how we will take the experience.
It has been an enjoyable one. Thankfully neither of us had some of those treatments which zap your energy.
Dr Ramanandan is very knowledgeable and understands how to work with different patients’ personalities. We thank him for his time and arranging treatments best suited for our needs. We also thank Dr Aishwarya, Anupama and Arun. They were always available to answer our questions. Therapists, both male and female were exceptional. Other supporting staff is also commendable.
What makes this place unique is its focus on eco-friendly environment and self-sufficiency in what they grow. Treatments are directed to the body but with morning and evening prayers, the mind and soul also gets nourished. Community surrounding also receives its share of projects in keeping with objective of harmony with nature.
It is likely that we return in the future for more rejuvenation.
Afternoon Satsang’s help the patients learn about all different things about Ayurveda, community projects and future plans. Questions and answers with Dr Ramkumar during his Satsangs were very insightful. Overall the setting is very quiet allowing for healing of body and mind.
We must acknowledge our therapists by name, Vaishnavi, Mridula, Lavanya, Devaki, Aishwarya, Lakshmi, Renjith, Suraj, Zainudheen, Santosh, Suresh, Subhash, Midhun, Libin and Ratheesh. Housekeeping Bhagyavathi was very good and took care of us.

I especially appreciate the encouragement I received to continue & deepen my spiritual practices, it has given me a boost of faith & conviction in what I do. I have so much to take home from this experience& I see my future looking bright and happier. To name you all individually would take a whole page to write as everybody played a role in my healing treatments here. So again thank you for everything.

I came for the treatment but was so impressed with the wonderful work that is being done by the trust- environmental and with the community- if only this prototype would spread throughout the world. Can you imagine how better human kind would be!!
Thank you doctors for sharing your experience, wisdom and knowledge through the Satsangs - i loved attending them.

Vaidyagrama is a very nice place despite the heat, however it is very pleasant place, I enjoyed the peacefulness, the birds singing and the kindness of the staff. They are sweet and nice even though we did not speak the same language.
Our doctors are very thoughtful and professional. I really enjoyed being asked how I was several times in a day.
About the food i needed a little bit of time to get used of the new dishes.

My stay has been absolutely peaceful, which means you have put my pitta in place. Lots of positive changes, and the healing village is growing slowly and steadily. I don't feel the need to say anymore as my stay here has put me on a journey to the peace with myself. Hence you all can be sure of working your magic on me. Special thanks to talk to Dr. Harikumar and Dr. Ramanandan for fine tuning my treatments which are having me observe myself closely and returned and that to maintain what I feel here. I need to make lifestyle changes...

After 21 days I got back my sense of smell, hearing in my right ear become as good as in my left. I am relaxed and hopefully slightly lighter after strict diet.
Looking forward to see you next year

Dear Vaidyagrama Family!
Once again, I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all of you from the bottom of my heart! It’s my fourth time here and I'm coming here, like to home already, and all of you are like second family for me!
Thank you for saving me again. This time I came in the worse conditions than ever; absolutely broken and lost, and I am leaving feeling myself another person even better to say - "better version of myself " than I have ever been.
I feel much calmer, more balanced, energised, optimistic, stronger and right now that's all because of your professionalism, support and love.
I am so grateful to all of you and assure myself once again that Vaidyagrama is a really special and unique place for healing physically, emotionally, spiritually! And I am so much grateful that I came here once upon a time six or seven years ago.
Every time coming here is a great journey inside to myself, finding out something new again and again.
On way travelling all over India to get acquainted with the zeal spirituality, Big and open hearts of Indian people, to love yourself, the country, purpose of life and many other things; but just came here and find out perhaps even more in, as that is a great place for knowing themselves in the first instance...
Vaidyagrama for me is a school of life and it'll take pages to describe how many lessons and knowledge I am getting here every time about my own body, mind, soul etc., how many interesting and spiritual people I meet, who give me so much of useful information and good lessons.
Thank you for your existence!
Thank you my dear Dr.Harikrishnan !!
Thank you for your patience, calmness, especially this time.
Thank you, all the doctors and therapists, for such a good care of me, for your tolerance to my changes in mood etc. Such an attentive behaviour! You all are so nice and I love you so much. Dr.Mini ! I get acquainted with you this time and for me you are a new member of this wonderful family - I want to say that I have completely fallen in love with you!!
Warmest regards, love, health and prosperity to all of you! Hope to see you soon, when I come in the state like I am leaving now, just for detox and physical maintenance purposes, and see you all again.
Your,

Today is my birthday, my 40 years birthday of living on this planet, am very lucky to have the chance to begin a new life after my panchakarma in Vaidyagrama.
In this place that you have created, I finally took care of myself and it was possible for me to see how I can look after my body and soul.
Thank you very much for proving to me that the idea that I had in my mind that herbs can save lives and self-healing is possible with herbs.
I will think about all of you from my place and I will send all my good energy to you, so you people can continue the difficult work that you are doing.

This was my second time in Vaidyagrama, and it was wonderful!
Thank you to Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini, Dr.Aruna, Dr.Princess and Lakshmi, Mikita, Maya and all the cleaning staff for your big hearted care and support, and for your seriousness. Being here recalibrates the body and soul to a more healthy and sane way of being, and opens our eyes for a different loving, peaceful way of living. It always heartens me, when at cultural events, everyone sits together - doctors, patients, maintenance staff and therapists. There is no division, but it is a community.
Vaidyagrama is an example to India and to the whole world of how life together could be, including the plant and animal world.
For us westerners, it is also always a good lesson in humility, and in flexibility of mind, when things don't need to run the way we think is right. It softens us up, and it reminds us of our smallness. Also, there are always interesting other patients do meet.
One small tip (the other one I already said verbally)...
At the beginning, after arriving it could be nice at least at the first treatment session, to get introduced to the therapists, as they didn't even properly say hello. So, to say Hello, I am so and so and will be here for you doing your treatment, will be probably put many patients (like myself) at ease.
The same thing I would suggest for the doctors who may replace the doctors. If you could introduce yourself, and explain why you are suddenly interested if I had a bowel movement, it would create a safer space. We feel sometimes quite vulnerable as patients.
But that is just a detail feedback and meant from a big friend and fan of Vaidyagrama who will be back.
Big thank you to you all!

As I rest in my room on the last day of my 3 week of long treatment, my memory takes me back to the first day when I arrived here in Vaidyagrama. Very enthusiastic, positive and with strong faith to heal myself... and this feeling stays with me today when I leave this place with the same intensity.
Every time I came here my faith grows stronger in the healing power of this place. This is my third time for treatment in past 9 years and every time I am led to believe that this is the one of the most authentic Ayurveda places in the world that offers a beautiful healing environment during our stay and teaches and trains us to adopt a way of living in tune with nature.
There are no big lectures given in this but the way everything is approached here very gently and effortlessly, one is inspired to make desirable changes in one’s life on the road to wellness.
During my stay here, same time I felt this is a learning temple, at other times a healing space with regular prayers and chants. At the gross level the dedicated team of doctors and caring, loving therapists work tirelessly and attend to us and all our complaints, and at a subtle level we feel positive energy and healing vibrations flowing in from them and the prayers they perform with utmost devotion, I feel privileged to be a part of this family. The untouched beautiful nature of plants, birds and animals adds to the healing powers of this unique place. This environment keeps us close to ourselves and we feel fullness of life in spite of all our little ups and downs as a patient during the treatment.
Thank you dear Vaidyagrama family for taking care of me during my stay here. I go back healed and on road to wellness….
My special thanks and gratitude go to my reverent doctors Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar and the team of all other doctors all the kind and caring therapists specially Geethu, Kalpana and Vaishnavi and the house keeping staff and all the support service staff. Thank you all for wonderful experience!
I wish VAIDYAGRAMA and Dr. Ramkumar a beautiful journey towards serving society in its utmost honesty.

A special shout out for Shyni for her dedication and professionalism for such a young woman, she has amazing skills and was an integral part of my healing journey.
Also, Anitha - such a special caring and skilled therapist.
Thank you to all my wonderful doctors and to Shanna Tarini- karma yogi for helping me to navigate the path. She showed great friendship to a stranger.
Thank you to all the staff, Punitha for helping me with computers, receptionists, office staff and my lovely smiling lady who cleaned my room and brought me fresh sheets.

Dear Vaidyagrama team
I am really thankful for everything!
Every single person of the vaidyagrama staff made the stay very special. Here we really can relax and concentrate on our healing, on our global healing. And, even more so because seeing all the projects of punarnava, it gives a lot of new hope for a new world where values that matter find a way to exist, to change, at least to show that something else that the modern standard is possible.
Thank you for this healing, profound healing session. I hope I will visit you soon, not as a patient, but as a member of this wonderful project you are raising.
About a technical feedback, maybe arrange room and terrace so that we can hang a hammock to relax swinging, brings lightness; and possibility to have the mosquito net above the outside bed too. Therapists are wonderful but sometimes English-speaking possibility were restricted and could be a little bit confusing as well for hands-on treatment would be even better with familiar therapists - in the way, we feel very different if they are too different in their way of doing abhyangam for example.
I am grateful, please convey my thanks for the whole staff who smile and work.

Vaidyagrama was not 'love at first sight' - it was like "discomfort and difficulty" at first sight considering that for some unknown reason, I got very sick in the moment I arrive here. Probably a virus for the yellow fever vaccine I took days before coming to India.
When I arrived at Vaidyagrama I was tired, hungry and feeling very hot. It was past midnight and I was served three pieces of papaya and hot water with herbs, when I craved for a hot meal and cold water. The next 48 hours were difficult with constant pain and no energy to get out of the bed. To make it worst I did not like the food and its seasoning which is quite different to what I am used to in my country. However, the contact with the doctors and helpers plus all staff who work here was very positive from the beginning, even with all my difficulties of adaptation and almost unbearable heat.
As the time passed, I was gradually being conquered by the whole local environment. I began to adapt myself and understand the importance of a restricted diet, different from the one that I have been accustomed throughout life. Each action was coming together as a puzzle and I began to improve my energy level and the acceptance of procedures so different from the one I used to. Surely there are some aspects that can be improved such as an improvement of the available menu or even if flexibility of the seasoning of the dishes in a way that it remains still correct from an Ayurveda point of you and at the same time closer to Western standards.
But in general, I leave with a very positive impression of the attentive and committed people here, always concerned with the welfare of the patient. Also fascinated with the design full of beautiful story of an extraordinary wealth of spirits. I was conquered little by little with great affection and commitment of everyone in Vaidyagrama. I am leaving in 2 days, only satisfied and grateful to this extraordinary experience that will certainly contribute to my life from here... thank you to each one of you!

Thank you for the healing center for the good food, excellent care, air and warm kind people of this place. After little more than a week, i learned a lot about how to care better for myself.
The morning and evening prayers were very illuminating.
Generally it is very hot here in this month, so wished if it might have been a cooler and I might have stayed longer.
Thanks to all the staff in this hospital. Also, the oil and water treatment here was awesome.

A week has just passed. It was a very nice experience, the staff is very cooperative and humble, and all doctors are very knowledgeable, supportive and very humble - I am looking forward to come again. Surroundings are so beautiful and serene.
A big thank you to all for love and care you all gave to us - thank you, thank you all.
It was difficult to initially remain without phone connection in silence, but got used to it and felt good. Food was excellent and I got used to it.

I, being an Indian, had some knowledge of well-known Kerala Ayurveda healing process.
On reaching Vaidyagrama, I was pleasantly surprised by its location nestled with variety of trees, showing nicely built clinical facilities and rooms for patients.
As desired most, staff and patients were maintaining silence against background music provided by many seen and unseen birds.
I came for Ayurveda healing treatment, against an advice to avail allopathic treatment with known side effects. I can’t say with certainty that the healing treatments given to me has completely cured me, but I had a good experience and confidence that the authentic Ayurveda treatment given to me here has helped me to understand the changes that are essentially required to live healthy and happy life.
Food provided here is not as spicy, as we had back home but then i realized its essentiality.
Overall it was an amazing and enlightening experience worth presenting for a life time.
I place on record my sincere thanks to all the doctors, staff and co patients for making my stay memorable.
Special thanks to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Aishwarya for constantly monitoring my days here with timely help, advice and assurance.

First of all, I thank the doctors who treated me namely Dr.Ramanandan, Dr.Mini, Dr.Arun and Dr Neetu and Dr Princess Lucy. These doctors had given me the treatment and made me stand and counter any disease in future. They had treated me with care, as I had been taking treatment at a very distant place and away from my family. The surrounding of the hospital is so good and carefree, and there is no fear of anything. I also felt attached to the in-house cats and dogs, they became so friendly with me. Special mention should go to Dr.Mini ji who took care of me like anything and came early and leave late from duty just because of me.
With this I thank Vaidyagrama and everybody attached and associated with it.
In future I will advise my friends back home to come to Vaidyagrama at least once in life and become fresh and rejuvenate themselves. I will upload all the videos and photo on YouTube channel to reach out to many people of the world.
Thanks

To the Vaidyagrama family,
What a gift every moment has been to be here and experience Ayurveda with such a passionate and loving team of doctors, therapists and staff.
Each and every one of you and the energy you put in to all you do truly creators a magical environment. You have created a space in which patients truly learn to self-heal through all the effects, to making our stay as nourishing as possible. I have learnt the true meaning.
My practices of real rest (mind +body) and intuitiveness (through learning to be a patient and pay attention without worry or stress). Many people can speak of these things but here you are providing an opportunity for everyone to truly tune into ourselves (mind, spirit, soul and body...Every part of our body) and with all that is around us (nature and other beings), you given me the gift of understanding being present at a new level. Finding that has no doubts. Powerful gift that has will to even change my life. You have impacted my mind-set, how I see life myself and how I commit to being more mindful of choices I make to honour my life and this wonderful universe and all its blessings. My medicine here was more than just treatments, medicinal concoctions from the earth. It was being able to action a new way of living and connecting all that’s in my every being into what I am actually doing. This what you choose every day is changing the world. There are no words to express how grateful I am to all of you.
I came here thinking my 7 days may be too short and that I would learn about Doshas ha..ha..haaa. What I have realized is it was exactly what I needed. I am still not exactly sure about the Doshas. BUT what I have taken away is Ayurveda is not a universal black + white rulebook. It is a way of life, prospecting a devotion to oneself to stay in tuned, present connected and thus that trust, faith, nature within us around us will naturally give us the time and answers we need. How filling, my last day is on happy vishu festival!
There is no coincidence as this makes the day I leave, but also start my devotion and practice to continue to self-love and heal. Also fitting that this morning after prayer, I found a seed on my balcony.
I feel it symbolizes the wisdom you have planted and given to me and today makes the time for me to continue to nourish these gifts and allow it to grow. I was asked what my expectations were with only 7 days here on my first day – I said to learn. Not only have I learnt, but my life has been transformed.
Thanks to the doctors for their wisdom generosity, the therapists who are incredibly nurturing and the housekeeping and reception staff that allow us not to worry, and to relax in such beautiful place. I LOVE YOU!
Thank you. (Especially Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Sajna, therapists- Prema, Archana and Anjali). I will forever have you in my heart

I came here as a bundle of nerves and body aches; joints paining, mind was clogged, and belly upset.
Now after 20 days my heart is filled with love from the many beautiful souls that look me in, touched me, fed me nourishing and delicious food, calmed my mind and gave peace to my body; Created this space where all doctors are always open and hugged me.
The many joyous birds that greeted the days.
This place is an oasis for body, mind and spirit.
Filled with gratitude, I look up to the clouds and they know the way!

Thank you to Vaidyagrama for bringing the science of Ayurveda into my life. This is my second time doing panchakarma here. The environment physical, community, healing, learning, ethical, spiritual and relaxing is a model that inspires one to live a good life.
The encouragement to continue our healing (with medicines and information to take back home) is so much appreciated.
I am leaving here, feeling relaxed, blessed and inspired.
Thank you again, to every single person in this special place.

I really appreciate everything and everyone here during this stay. I feel supported during the whole process and was really impressed by the simplicity and authenticity in the treatment approach, yet it is so profound. So much joy even in talking about pooping and bleeding.
There were moments I felt treatment was not effective and doubts arouse, however all doctors were so patient and wise to clear everything up. I learnt so much from my body, the treatments and interactions with each one here. I hope to visit again, with others in need as well.

This being my second experience with Vaidyagrama, was a very good one. I sincerely thank the doctors, therapist and all the staff for such a pleasant stay. Doctors were truly caring, attentive and patient enough to hear everything we could like to share. They were checking on my health and wellbeing close to 10 times a day during my snehapana and virecana. Next the therapist especially Dhanya was a true blessing. She would cater to all of our request always with a smile. Thanks to all the therapist for this wonderful massage. You guys do an awesome job and are the backbone of Vaidyagrama. Housekeeping and other staff did their best to make our stay pleasant one here. Doctors are truly friendly and care so much on the wholesome recovery or rejuvenation of the person. Dr Hari Kumar, Dr Renjisha & Dr Sajna are the best.
Thanks a lot for the experience! I had come with my kiddo; was scared of how she was going to manage the food and ambience but she loved the people here. All of them were friendly and took care of her like their own daughter. My mom loves this place and had a peaceful stay. Thank you each one of you, the staff of Vaidyagrama for being so accommodative and caring.

It is now the end of my 4 weeks stay here and I am feeling so grateful. The healing space exists here. Now I came with a collection of some mild complaints that felt to me the beginning of more serious things to come if I hadn’t found a way to heal them. As a practicing nurse at a hospital in the West, I know that most providers/doctors would not see my symptoms as anything to be concerned about. My guess would be lack of awareness the education (or lack thereof) they receive. Unless symptoms are evident enough to be diagnosed, they didn’t have the understanding to know what is really going on.
Ayurveda and panchakarma is such a gift. I feel blessed that all the signposts in my life have led me here. Though there were some difficult moments with a couple of treatments ((Drinking ghee, purgation, vasti). Feel so much like lighter and creative then when I arrived. All my symptoms have decreased felt well cared for by the Doctors and their staff. I loved the food and learnt so much by the satsangs, the easy example short to us on how to making a daily routine how to teach how to feel it is with a simpler lifestyle in tune with the rhythm of life and just thank you for opening and leaving this teachings so beautifully. May all be blessed by this light.

I have come back here much stronger after last year treatment session in Vaidyagrama to continue my journey to heal my body. I could better appreciate the skills and talent of Dr Ramanandan who has given treatments and dosages that are exactly right for each patient and his conditions. Thus, I received stronger treatment and feeling better overall. I could enjoy more with the beautiful healing environment and birds singing. This year I was able to feel better with Inner myself and build intentions to do more for self even come back home. Doctors are very attentive and reachable even if they are taking day off, sorry to disturb you Dr Ramanathan and thanks again for your time. Dr.Arun was also very patient answering multiple questions. Beautiful and helpful therapists Shiny and Anita, thank and god bless this people and peace
Real professional Ayurveda is here.

Thank you to everyone at Vaidyagrama for making my time here so beautiful and peaceful. You have created a healing heaven, away from the maternal world we all find our self's in. You have given me the space immersed in nature to get back in touch with myself. The care from the doctors and therapists are wonderful and made me feel cared of. Waking up to the sound of birds every morning. Walking around the beautiful complex and just had the time to be. This will be mixed but through your Satsangs you have given me the light to develop my practice to that I can take the healing process along with me.
Huge thanks to Dr.Ramanandan and Dr.Arun for their tentative care and treatment plans

Our stay at Vaidyagrama was short this time, just 10 days. In spite of that we have recovered from the minor complaints we came with.
The devotion and attention we got from the doctors,
Dr. Ramanandan Dr. Anupama Dr. Siva Jyothi was amazing. Even the housekeeping and gardening etc are taken well care of.
The therapist Devaki has magical fingers, I have got used to her massage since last 3 years and the two girls who assist her were also good. The food has improved a lot over the years
Our best wishes to Vaidyagrama in the coming years

Being at Vaidyagrama has been an intensely enlightening experience from realising the amount of rubbish we ingest and impose within our bodies to the constant rushing around to make life worthwhile. Here I came to stand still surrounded by compassion and care. A big thank you to Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini and all the therapists and staff. Thank you for your time, your patience and your deep compassion.
God bless each one of you with much love and prayers.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
After my first visit to Vaidyagrama, I truly feel that humanity is incredibly blessed that a place like this exists. An oasis of natural healing in a world that is making so many of us sick. And really, it is the people that make vaidyagrama so special. I have never felt so cared for and supported in my entire life. Within a few days of being here, I was already convinced that i will return. I am deeply grateful to all of the staff, therapists and doctors who assisted me on this journey of healing. The combination of expert knowledge of this ancient science of life, with an environment carefully constructed to soothe the entire being and an attitude of loving kindness that is tangible on all levels, allowed me to finally surrender and trust in the healing process. I have always appreciated that the body has an intimate ability to heal itself and that Ayurveda seeks to facilitate that natural power. Unfortunately, after various traumatic experiences involving allopathic medicine, I had deep seated fears of medical professionals and illness in general. When my health issues re-surfaced five years ago, the allopathic system was unable to help, so i turned to homeopathy and naturopathy, but even after many rounds of treatment and despite what i believed to be healthy diet and lifestyle, including daily yoga practice, things did not improve.Infact with each failed attempt, feelings of despair and frustration increased and the physical condition deteriorated. As I desperately tried taking more and more natural supplements, my fears that I was incurable grew and I knew that this mental and emotional state was a massive obstacle to getting better but I was struck in a vicious cycle. I arrived at vaidyagrama full of fears and distrust. This made me a difficult patient! Thankfully my doctors had just the right balance of firmness and patience. Their strength of conviction and wealth of experience enabled me to gradually trust their method and my own body. With time and space to observe my mental patterns and physical tensions, I was ultimately able to overcome them and release deep emotional pain that was feeding them and perpetuating the disease. Now, the healing begins! I cannot thank vaidyagrama enough. I firmly believe in the vision of Punarnava and I hope that all of the wonderful goals are achieved. Whenever I am able, I will lend my support and I look forward to returning someday.
All my love,

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
Each time here is precious. Being with family is nourishing and that is important to healing. Everyone helps with the healing process - the doctors, therapists, cooks, cleaners and administration. Everyone has their place in the healing process, so I am grateful to everyone. I love the natural,simple,authentically processing environment. I feel nourished by it, its special here.I also appreciate how you give us the means to help heal ourselves. The knowledge you share is the most helpful and supportive. The chanting feels healing and soothes the soul. I give thanks to the bird song, the wind in the trees, the land and all the staff, therapists and doctors for all that is given to us for our body and spirit.

I have lost track of how many times I have come to Vaidyagrama in the last 10 years. The first trip is when it had only few buildings and in process of building more. What has been consistent in all these trips over the years is the professionalism of the staff- From doctors, to therapists and general staff taking care of food and cleaning. And after every trip I leave in better shape and state of mind.
While I see more new and younger staff this time their skills and dedication to tasks and taking care of people continuous to be of high calibre.
I can’t thank enough Dr.Ramanandan for his help in guiding the treatment and now I look at him more as a friend and guide than a doctor. Nothing will be complete without acknowledging Vaidyagrama approach to include neighbourhood as part of them, for taking care of local children’s and families and always focusing on quality If life and taking care of the planet.
On the downside this was my first trip to Vaidyagrama in April and had lot of problems dealing with heat. Needless to say, I probably go back to trip in the fall. I also find myself less able to deal with food, as I go older especially 3 meals in a day mostly bland and with lots of rice. Think I may propose only breakfast and dinner on future trips with less rice.
Other area I feel frustration is the issue of reliable internet service during every trip, this year being most difficult. Hope Vaidyagrama provide more access to TV even if it is only for a few hours every day. It is difficult to be shut off from what is going on around us in this era of information age. All in all, Vaidyagrama has been a significant factor in my battle with Rheumatoid arthritis and I owe there a lot for their help over the years. Hope I get more chance to visit.

Vaidyagrama is bringing the old and wonderful tradition of Ayurveda to this scientific world. Ayurveda is fully scientific, very correct in today's scenario. This is the most appropriate scientific and healing therapy.
All the doctors and other staff is really very good, helpful, polite, and good. Dr Harikrishnan Dr.Mini, Dr. Princess, Dr.Aruna was really very good.
I am very thankful to whole Vaidyagrama. Thanks to Dr. Ramkumar and whole Vaidyagrama team to bring and keep this tradition alive, Once again thanks to whole Vaidyagrama for giving this wonderful opportunity to mankind.

This time we came here at Vaidyagrama after about four years but we find this place good-looking as before a natural abode and an ideal healing place. Everything here right from its spiritual atmosphere calm and quiet surroundings, pollution free air, the drinking water, the food, help to cure the ailments apart from medication and therapies.
The doctors here not bosses but very friendly to the patients, the patients feel a healing touch and get a Ray of hope when they come in contact of their doctors I have special mention of Dr Ramadas, Dr Harikumar and Dr.Sajna.
Dr Ramadas is the one who is so knowledgeable, he is also a friend philosopher and guide to the patients. All therapists, kitchen and cleaning staff are well behaved always smiling and helping the office staff and are soft spoken and helping.
Vaidyagrama has been very much successful in its mission of providing healing and complete well-being to the people coming here from different parts of the globe for treatments that is also acting as an ambassador of spiritual uplifting to the world.
Vaidyagrama is contributing highly towards correcting the lifestyle of people coming into contact, thus doing great service to mankind.
Some suggestions:
Library can be organised some leading magazines may also be added
Caroms, Ludo similar mind games can be more entertaining and time pass activities.
One table tennis that will be highly appreciated.

Thank you team Vaidyagrama for bringing me back to my roots. It has been a wonderful life changing experience here. The four principles of spirituality are here in abundance. Can’t thank Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Aruna, Dr. Princess and Dr. Mini for their efforts. Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Aruna explain everything so patiently and nicely brain wash you to like kanji and green gram too. My two therapists Vidya and Sreeshma there smiling faces and patience will always remember. Pooja and satsang really calm and heal you. Taking back lots of positivity and smiles from here. The aura of this place and blessings of god Dhanwanthari make this place beautiful. Wish there is a Vaidyagrama each city.
Think about a progress for young, growing children seeing Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Aruna daughter it will be a good learning experience for children who are away from nature and in a virtual world.

My visit to Vaidyagrama has been a turning point in my life physically, spiritually and emotionally. After years of living a crazy life of unknowingly being disrespectful to my body, I have finally learnt to love and be grateful for this life and love my body and reconnect with the supreme consciousness with a positive attitude. A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan for understanding the complexity of my medical circumstance, treating us with care and gently increasing the cleansing process without aggravating too many symptoms. Thank you Dr. Harikrishnan for reconnecting me to the Bhagavad Geeta and spiritual way of living with surrender!
A special thanks to my therapists – Vaishnavi, Devaki and Akhina, your gentle and caring attitude and touch gradually helped me forget my pain from the last few years. Kudos to Dr. Ramkumar for creating a utopian healing village and bringing together a loving and happy group of people in Vaidyagrama. Thanks to the daily satsangs.I was able to understand better spirituality and the process of living an Ayurvedic life in harmony with nature. I would like to take this opportunity to make a few recommendations for future, potential expansions at Vg

VAIDYAGRAMA…!! Where do I begin..!!!
I guess from the very beginning, Dr Ramkumar, after seeing his dedication to human beings, plants, animals and the universe, I am totally “stumped”. Have never met a person like him who has dedicated his entire life to humanity and created this wonderful paradise for people like us.
I am blessed to have met him, heard his satsangs and experienced first-hand the fruits of his endeavours. Was blessed to meet his mother too- an amazing human being.
I’ll have to write in brief I’ve realised as don’t have much space this being the last page of the notebook.
Many thanks to Dr Ramanandan, and Dr Vinod who took immense care of my woes and all with a smiling face always. Their patience is much to learn from.
Dr Ramadas..!! I’ll never forget his melodious prayers twice a day – the fervour and divinity is rare to come by. Thanks to him and I have finally learnt to INHALE & EXHALE. We had some very interesting and informative satsangs with him, cleared all our doubts with a smile always.
He is blessed with a lovely daughter who dances beautifully. God bless her. I’ll miss this serenity, calm and peace of this charming place. Loved meeting travellers, walking with them, exchanging notes with them and spending these two weeks with them. I do hope to come back every year, god willing to find myself after the hustle and bustle of the city.
I think one need this “Me” time once a year definitely to connect with oneself and one’s maker.
The staff here is really dedicated and selfless in their service. I have not seen a single person frown, unhappy or impatient. No matter what the demands. Of course it all flows from the top. So kudos to all the senior doctors who founded this place and gave wings to this vision.
I do need to thank Aparna, Dr Anupama, Dr Aruna, Dr Mini and all the office staff, the lonely girl who gave me library books regularly, the charming girl I bought knicker knacker from.
Before I run out of place a very special thanks to SHINEY, who’s an amazing therapist .
See you all soon.
Sorry but I’ll sign off on this page now.
Wishing Vaidyagrama and each and every person here all the best always.
In gratitude,

Firstly a huge thank you to all the support staff who helped make our stay so comfortable and rewarding. All of my therapist and girls looking after me were good Chandran, Vaishnavi, Cheeru, Geethu. love you all.
Thank you to you all the doctors who was so well informed when making their rounds I felt I learnt so much from those interactions as well as our Satsang’s it's such a different philosophy to allopathic doctors and is surely beneficial in future .
Please pay close attention to which room and which block you put people with disabilities.
Rooms that are closer to the prayer room and Mandapam are better. Also blocks without Steep ramp are better.
It is also a good idea to inform these patients to use treatment room bathroom in case of emergencies.
Inside chooses or equip any new bathrooms with grab bars next to the toilet.
Wash basin should be high enough to roll under but low enough for a wheelchair user to use.
Consider long handle level mixer faucets instead of knobs.
Towel racks are too high for someone sitting down.
I was given in portable commode which made my bowel moments easier.
I would recommend installing an assistant button in all the bathrooms. There are switches for the lights between the beds that I couldn't reach because the distance between the beds is too narrow.
Emergency phone numbers should be available in rooms.
I would recommend spending time teaching therapist manual handling techniques, they would try to lift me more using strength in their arms and back, instead of their legs .This made me feel unsafe and lead to a few near falls. There are informative ideas on YouTube which you can show them long term they should be learning some more English for their own futures.
Thank you for the everything love

This is my fourth visit to Vaidyagrama, so there is obviously something special about this place! All the doctors, therapists and staff are so genuine and dedicated to the Ayurveda life, that this place his became a temple of mind and body healing.
My journey is not always easy and i thank Vaidyagrama for providing an amazing environment and knowledge for healing and balancing the body. I also would like to thank them for the philosophical and spiritual understanding that one’s attitude and positive thinking plays a major role in healing and happiness.
Thank you

I admitted here for some allergic nature of my skin and went through some intensive treatments which imbalanced me Mentally, Physically and emotionally, but the care of all doctors who treated me really helped to overcome all imbalances positively.
Though I am not satisfied with the “Kanji” I am really happy that it helped me to reduce my body weight.
My mother Viji and Mother in Law Latha kumara also got the chance to experience overall good care of Vaidyagrama- Truly a healing village.
Respect. J

Vaidyagrama is my second home, the community living Nivrittigrama being the first. 2015 is when I first came here and fell in love with this space.
Healing village is the perfect name for this space. Dr.Ramkumar's dream became vision and that vision now needs to be sustained. This place is family- a large joint family. The healing experience is as much due to medication, food and lifestyle changes, as much because of the love, care, and nurturing.
Big thank you and gratitude Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini, Dr. Princess, Dr.Aruna, Lakshmi and Athira.
Going back with lifted spirit and healed Body and Mind.

Totally it was a memorable stay thanks a ton to Vaidyagrama family.
If possible keep TV for kids and patients care takers, I know it is not possible because of not having TV my son leaving early. No other kids won’t discontinue the treatment because of TV.

This is my 3rd visit to Vaidyagrama and it has been a splendid as ever before. It has set an example for other health care providing organization to emulate. The care and services provide here symbolize par – excellence, perfection, professionalism, promptness and punctuality.
I express my sincere gratitude to doctors, Dr Ramadas, Dr Ramanandan, Dr Vinod and Dr Nishanth, who frequently monitored and closely kept a watch on my progress.
My special thanks to the therapists, Ms Devaki, Ms Athira and Ms Bhavya, who with their magical fingers provided healthy touch.
There were several others who rendered services with equal dedication, sincerity and commitment. I convey my thanks to all of them.
It is said that when you have a hammer, everything looks like nail..!! Having spent more than half of my life in teaching economics, I tend to look for application & concepts of economics in whatever I witness or experience. One such concept is “POSITIVE EXTERNALITIES” – It implies the positive side effects or additional benefits arising out of an activity.
At Vaidyagrama I am immensely benefitted by the treatment given.
Besides the direct benefit, I received several other additional benefits – Positive Externalities..!!
It was a coincidence that during the phase of my treatment, “Sreemad Bhagavatham” Chanting was done. Smt Aruna Sairam rendered melodious songs, besides the daily prayers being performed here. Vaidyagrama thus treats and heals not only body but also our mind and soul.
There is a policy implication behind the concept of “POSITIVE EXTERNALITIES”. If an activity of an organization gives rise to POSITIVE EXTERNALITIES, the government must intervene to redress the externalities. Instead of levying taxes, should provide sizable subsidies..!! And Vaidyagrama deserves it to be heavily subsidized.
THANK YOU VAIDYAGRAMA..!!
With lots of Love, Respect and Regards

To all at Vaidyagrama!
Every so often- Where we are fortunate- Life presents us the “Golden Opportunity” to learn the deeper nature of things. For me, Vaidyagrama has been that opportunity (Twice!!). I have just experienced 3 weeks of humbling, insightful, deep and wise care from everyone here- Including fellow patients.
I will keep this feeling and knowledge in my mind and heart.
Now and forever
With love

I am grateful to all that took great care of us. Everyone was very friendly
It was an amazing experience when every door was closed for us Vaidyagrama give a new hope and we were able to find a cure.
The doctors are amazing. They don’t treat you like patients but like another human, a friend. All the therapist, room cleaners, people in the pantry are compassionate and smiling. Office staff and reception staff are great.
The chirping birds chanting in the morning and evening, beautiful flowers and trees are makes this a special place to be. Seems like a TAPOVAN to me.
When we asked for non-medicated plain water we were given mineral water and later charged for that. The charges was very reasonable but it would have been nice to know that we will be charged for plain water. We did not know we were drinking mineral water. I had asked if there is a charge & was told probably not.
Everything went really well for us. The people, place, experience, bhagavatam, chanting, prayers, satsangs all of them made us better humans. Learnt a lot
Thank you all

I feel rejuvenated, recharged and healed, emotionally mentally and physically. Efforts of administrative staff, therapists, runners and most importantly of all dedicated doctors is an excellent example of team work dedication and discipline that makes Vaidyagrama a healing village.
Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini, Dr. Princess, Arunaji all of you are such blessings and such caring people. Thank you so such.
My stay has been very short but I am surely looking forward to come back. One small request (if the cats can be swayed away from campus). Shall miss satsang by Dr. Ramkumar and morning and evening prayers.
Thank You! GOD BLESS YOU ALL
We were privileged to attend the Bhagwad Saptah. The mantras and chantings took so much negativity away.

What you do here is really special and so desperately needed around the world. It is rare to experience such deep trust and confidence in healing process. I can help but see that you really do make miracles happen.

Beautiful, thoughtful, professional, caring-it’s impressive to see.
We are especially grateful for our fabulous doctors and therapists. You took such good care of us. Thank you also for all the chanting and satsang, and the way you care for the land and community.

Vaidyagrama is home for me. Over the last 8 years, I have watched it grow from a single block to an entire community. However, the attention and care given by both the staff and the therapists has remained the same over time- Warm, genuine and thoughtful. Thank you Dr.Ramanandan, Dr.Anupama, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Arun and everyone else that’s made my time here truly healing and joyful

Our time at Vaidyagrama has been very challenging, nevertheless we have been so impressed at what we have experienced here. It seems that every member of the staff always has a smile for us whenever we encounter them. The Doctors are always willing to spend a little extra time with us when we need it. The facility itself is an impressive work of eco design, which we very much appreciate. Shiny and Anitha have been a great support over the last 4 weeks. All in all we leave here changed in ways that we may not yet fully understand but with great hope for the future. Thank you

A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ramanandan and his team of doctors and therapists. This was my first time at Vaidyagrama and three weeks passed in a jiffy.
It’s a rare place of meditative healing and h and learning. There was much to see and observe and learn, I am grateful to the vision of its founders.
Thank you to the wonderful Devaki and Vaishnavi and Mrudula, Bhavya, Akina and the ever smiling Bhaagya akka who all help the wheels running smoothly and calmly with at most sweetness
It’s difficult to describe the level of care taking and patience of Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Sivajothi, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Arun, Dr. Vinod not to mention the nominating chats in all topics medical to spiritual with Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Ramkumar and DR. Ramadas.
I am excited to see the effects of my treatments on fixed over the next months.

I love hearing the cows, the birds (there are many more than 2 years ago), and the music, the chanting, especially love how children are welcomed and cared for as everyone goes about their duties.
Vaidyagrama is truly a model for a better world. I look forward to returning and bringing others here.
So grateful to Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Mini, Dr. Princess Lucy, Dr. Vasudevan and Dr.Aruna;

Many were the days...Waiting for my mind to know the truth.
I had long thought that if i married to my body to my mind...
That would be a perfect love story
So, as an act of love to myself, I decided to go to Vaidyagrama.
Here, the doctors and staff at Vaidyagrama, by administering ancient, time tested Ayurveda, helped my mind know my body’s truth.
Now, to show my appreciation of their utmost dedication, detailed attention, compassion, and commitment to help us heal, my mind takes a vow to my body to practice and study Ayurvedic diet and right living regimens so wonderfully practised on me (except the ghee) Just kidding.
It really worked as Dr. Harikrishnan promised!
And thank you Dr. Ramkumar, Dr.Ramadas, Dr.Ramanandan, Dr.Mini, Dr. Princess etc. for the regular daily satsangs to knowledge about Ayurveda and healing our soul/spirit.
Dr.Mini and Dr. Princess Lucy, Dr.Vasudevan- Great administrators of Dr.Harikrishnan’s orders-All of you, I was lucky to have you as my doctors.
Your ‘bedside manner’ and approachability was 100%.
Thank you Athira, Lakshmi, Shreeshna.
My therapist Subash was so helpful and his smile is medicine.
Love you all..
Shembagam – my most pleasant and polite room cleaner, Aparna- for all your help.
Chief Dr.Harikrishnan you have helped me
Suggestions
1. Policy for synthetic fragrance free environment:
We respectfully request everyone refrain from the wearing fragrance in public spaces. Our chemically sensitive (allergic) patients are negatively impacted and appreciate your cooperation.
Scented soaps, shampoos, laundry products on clothes, lotions and cologne/perfume, deodorant.
The scents spread from your room, including incense, into the halls.
If this can’t be avoided please inform your doctor, so he or she can notify affected patients to close their doors / windows that open to the hall.
2. Cats may jump onto your porch mattress. You may want to keep a cat sheet on mattress at all times. When you want to use mattress, cover it with a separate sheet or blanket after removing cat sheet.
3 .If your meal is delayed (more than 1 hour) due to treatment or other reasons you may ask staff to reheat food especially true on ghee therapy days
(My meals were barely warm sometimes)
4. On the days of massage treatment, if patient feels anxious, unsettled
(Purgation day for ex :) the therapist with shower, comforting ‘touch’ can be helpful. Please request.
5. For those allergic to mosquitoes or mosquito repellent you may use mandapam (screened room) with fans.
6. For patients with swayback, lower back problems, tight hamstrings or gluteus, provide vinyl cushion (easy to clean), under knees (and ankle if possible) during face up position on massage tables.
Thank you

For me it was not good.
May be my lack, may be attitude, and may be specific condition.
I am impressed with the best efforts to follow the traditional Ayurveda.
I am disappointed in the forcefulness of doctors.
After 21 days of eating the diet and taking the medicines, I am left with more troublesome symptoms.
I hope in time, I will feel the benefit of my time at Vaidyagrama.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self - seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.
Love never fails, but where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (I Corinthians 13)
Grateful from my heart for: Faith, Hope and Love that were bathed on me immensely. Grateful to the entire team that took care of me that I can proceed my life in better health with greater clarity and more open hearted. It is always honour to me to see how this community breathes together with nature and grows
Thank You

I really loved the way, how all the people were so nice and friendly.
It was an amazing experience for me all by myself 21 days.
But I didn’t feel I am alone here.
Whoever they helped me the whole time, I really want to thank you.
I want to come and see this place not as a patient but a good recovered person from my bad health. I learned lot of nice things from this place.
My Dr Ramadas and Dr Sajna helped me so much for my treatments.
My wonderful kids Indhumathi and Dhanya was great.
I love you both as they are part of my family.
Other than that I want to say my heartily prayers whoever they are coming for the treatment to get well soon.
I will really miss this place so much.
God will bless this place all the time that is my wise.

I truly came here not expecting to get much.
It was an idea and plan made by my parents.
However I can say with all my heart that my seven days experience was one that has taken me by great surprise.
I loved the serene atmosphere that allowed my stress levels to decrease significantly and my thoughts to flow freely.
I was treated with first class service and could meet nicer people.
One doctor even went out of his way and offered me some life advice that changed so much.
I am truly in debt to this place and hope to come back very soon.

We first heard about Vaidyagrama back in 2015 through one of our friend R.G Subramaniam who stayed here.
Since then we wanted to be benefitted through Ayurvedic treatment and be a part of this Vaidyagrama ongoing basis. Finally time had come for our family and we are sincerely thankful for this wonderful experience.
Coming back to treatment, my wife Dancy and our first daughter Rufina stayed here for a week and they feel night and day difference with their back pain and allergic problem.
Kudos to everyone of Vaidyagrama team for being excellent human beings and providing awesome service of each and every activity in this village.
It is not just right to mention one or few names or titles. Our family have been to several countries with my work.
This team is unbelievable.
Whole heartedly best wishes for each and every one of you at Vaidyagrama to live healthy and peace.

I heard about Vaidyagrama from my mother who came here for treatment last year. Ever since I heard, it was a dream for me to come and I am so thankful that I got the opportunity this year.
After 21 days of being here, I can definitely say that I feel so much at home and already feel a part of the Vaidyagrama family.
The dedication that each and every one shows here really makes you feel comfortable and positive which automatically starts healing you.
I am truly appreciative of the last 21 days where I have found a few guiding principles, recommendation for healthy lifestyle, a positive environment, magic medicines and a whole lot of care that I am taking back with me to incorporate into my lifestyle.
Thank you to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Anupama, Lavanya, Shiny and all other therapists, all the housekeeping staff and the management.
I hope to be back soon.

I came to Vaidyagrama upon my mother’s request.
It was more about supporting her rather than expecting anything, as Ayurveda was completely new to me.
However, I was pleasantly surprised by how enriching my experience was.
A holistic healing of the mind, body and spirit. I feel rejuvenated after my stay.
I must thank especially Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Nishanth, Dr. Vinod and Dr. Suvedha for their patience, care and dedication, and to my warm and ever helpful therapists.
I have really enjoyed all the satsangs, especially the inspiring guidance of
Dr. Ramkumar, which I know will be very helpful to my day to day life.
I can’t wait for another ghee treatment to lose another 6kg.
I look forward to coming back and wish continual growth and success for Vaidyagrama.
Athira thank you so much for the idly maker.

Cannot travel against the wind.
But
The fragrance of virtue Travels even against the wind,
As far as the end of the world,
Like garlands woven from a heap of flowers,
Fashion from your life as many good deeds.
From the “Dharmapada”
The virtue of everyone at Vaidyagrama will travel to the end of the world.
Thank you for everything and it’s been blessings to be here, under the care of the doctors and all who are involved in the work.

My husband was hesitant to start Panchakarma so far away from home and I accompanied him for his treatment.
I was told that I could be a Bystander or get some rejuvenation treatment for myself.
Arriving at Vaidyagrama late evening on 15th July 2019, I was immediately enchanted by the energy of this special healing community of doctors, attendants, therapists and follow patients. I felt reassured that my husband will be taken care of a well here. I too signed up for basic treatment.
I am leaving after 5 days of a wonderful stay here.
I wish to thank Dr.Harikrishnan and his team for everything that Vaidyagrama offers to humanity
July 18, 2019
Thank you all for an amazing experience.
I was not sure about how my mother (80 years) would take to her food exposure to Ayurveda and am happy to say that she not only enjoyed it but also she wish come back.
It is been a holistic enriching experience the doctors are wonderful.
Dr. Ramadas is very personable we both enjoyed and chatting with him.
The therapist Kalpana and Geethu are very caring.
The cleaners were amazing especially shakuntala
Loved all the trees and plants growing around creating a very peaceful environment.
Thank you once again especially for all the care and love showed on my mother.
A little more attention to the food and therapy rooms will make it even better.

A way of wellness and healing that’s been around for 4000 to 6000 years is in itself fabulous.
Vaidyagrama and the doctors here take it to next level with their attention, empathy and caring. It’s great to hear so many stories from other patients and meet like-minded people.
The therapists Shiny, Anita, Lavanya are calm and lovely and seem not only to love their jobs but also the food.
Thank you Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Vinod.

I consider myself blessed to stay at Vaidyagrama for My psoriasis treatment.
I am thankful to everyone here whom I met in person and whom I couldn’t.
I don’t consider this as a Hospital it’s a healing ashram.
I’m blessed to meet Dr Ramadas.
Words are not enough to describe his nature. Wonder how a person of his stature and calibre be always grounded, ready to listen, compassionate and caring.
His medical knowledge is known worldwide. However, his personality of being simple, kind are to be experienced only when we could spend time with him in person. He is terrific overall.
Dr Sajna is equally very nice and caring. I would like to also mention about the therapists who were very passionate in the job they do.
Thanks for everyone. People who served food, housekeeping staff and everyone.
I wish to see you all again.

I have stayed here in Vaidyagrama for 21 days.
Although I didn’t realize it during the first few days of my treatment, I can vouch for the fact that Vaidyagrama works.
The environment was very peaceful and beautiful. The staffs were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and well maintained.
Our stay here was very comfortable and we are very grateful for this experience.
The people who run and maintain this place has to be commented on their practice.
I was lucky to be treated by the doctors, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Vinod and Dr. Nishanth. They are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They made my treatment bearable.
The environment felt safe and homely.

Special thanks to Dr. Ramadas for being such an enthusiastic MC (Master of Ceremony) of the Wednesday night group dinner/karaoke evening.
We had heard good things about Vaidyagrama that did not really know what to expect the improved, diet and treatments were all surprisingly challenging and it took us a few weeks to really appreciate what is taking place.
Now that we have finally settled in to a slower routine, it is time to leave.
Some suggestions,
It would be good to know the ingredients in our food.
I would have appreciated words and translations to most prayers in order to participate more.
Please provide cards, carom, and scrabble.

I came to know about Vaidyagrama from Dr. P.S Rekhi, eye specialist based at Madras. He told me about the whole body healing.
I am so happy that I have got what I was told.
My spirituality also improved.
All doctors are well knowledgeable.
I got the opportunity to meet Dr. Ramkumar, a genius.
Dr. Ramanandan has explained everything about the treatments.
Staff are also co-operative.
I am so lucky that I got the opportunity to live here for 12 days.
Thank you all

It has been a wonderful experience at Vaidyagrama.
To start with, Dr. Ramkumar and team have to be congratulated for creating Vaidyagrama; truly back to nature ventilation and lightning have been planned in so detail.
I wonder why we need A/C’s in this world, at least in places other than crowded cities. For that matter, I now think why live in a big metro city.
Dr. Ramanandan and his team of Dr. Nishanth Rajendran, Dr. Vinod and
Dr. Anupama was all very attentive and took great care.
The team of therapists were all very good, know their job and very caring. Ranjith especially took great care. So were the housekeeping team, Laundry, Front desk and back office in all interactions.
One very unique feature here are the satsangs. The presentation by Doctors and Question & Answer sessions were all very informative and eye opening.
Besides the director’s, I liked the presentation skills of Dr. Nishanth.
The morning and evening prayers are something I will not forget. The loud strong voice of Dr. Ramdas will keep singing in my ears.
Dr. Vinod was also there every day to support and enhance the prayer experience for all.
All in all a great experience. Hope to be back next year with my wife who will love such experiences too.
Best wishes to all.

Ever since I saw Vaidyagrama in 2015 I have wanted to come here. Now as I leave after 10 days of treatment I am only sorry I did not muster enough courage to come earlier!! Vaidyagrama “heaven of peace”. A place where everybody is happy smiling and easy to be with. No discordant or harsh role.
I salute the Doctors, therapists and the supporting staffs are making it so.
Though there are a lot of “do’s and don’ts” nothing is shifted down your throat forcibly or conveyed strongly but very gently and persuasively told. The gentleness and happiness about this is really charming. Thank you Dr Ramanandan, Dr Vinod, Dr Anupama for making these 10 days idyllic.
A special thanks to Dr Ramadas for starting our days with positive energy and vibrations. Thank you all,

First of all, a very big thanks to founder of this VaidyaGrama healing centre for creating such a beautiful and peaceful place. There are more of positive vibes in this place which made us feel better even at our initial days of stay. Though it was very short duration (12 days) for us, we are very much satisfied for undergoing a good comfortable treatment. Staffs here are more friendly and made us to feel like a homely environment. Satsang was one of the most famous among us, or at least to mother in law. Where we gained more about how should we lead our lives further after leaving this village. Feel close to spirituality and cleaning our inner soul. We are very much thankful to everyone working here. Especially we convey our heart full thanks to Dr Mini and Dr Princess who made us feel more comfortable and also special thanks to Dr Harikrishnan.Thanks to our female and male therapists. Aathira was doing a very good work and to our maintenance people who helped us to keep everything clean. Thanks to cooking team. Though food was bland it helped our body/system to keep it safe. Would like to visit again.

OMG, I just love Vaidyagrama! If I were to extoll all the virtues of Vaidyagrama and the healthcare services it provides- The medical treatments, the delicious organic food, the opportunities to learn about Ayurveda self-care- I would have to write a book! After two months of Panchakarma medical treatments, medicine, and care all of my ailments are mended or mending happily leaving me replete, energized and ready to jump back in to life as a healthy person. Sweet! This place is so beautiful and peaceful it’s medicine itself. The copious bird songs, the trees, the wild life, the sweet and appreciated (by me) feral cats, the other patients, the suits (the amazing suites!).The doctors, therapists and support staff are all part of an environment of healing, humanity, connection and peace.

My first visit to Vaidyagrama. I came here as it was so highly recommended to me and I can now see why. I have been so very impressed by many things here and can say it has exceeded my expectations. From the time I was picked up at the airport I have felt so cared for and have been treated by much kindness and generosity. Thank you so much to all the staff here, doctors, therapists, front desk, drivers, cleaners, kitchen staff, you are all wonderful. I leave here feeling very well rested, inspired to maintain an Ayurveda lifestyle and I am especially inspired by the community living upheld in Vaidyagrama. You really practice what you teach. You are teaching us how to create change in the world by caring for others and living as a community. Thank you for all you do and all you have done to support me on my journey.
I am confident I will be back

For us working has been second nature, taking care of ourselves has always been the last thing to think of. So when we were recommended to Vaidyagrama, the toughest thing to do was relax. The relaxation began when we saw the place. The Doctors here (Dr Ramanandan and Dr Anupama ) our primary doctors listened to us patiently. Our history was checked and our treatment began. Despite our short visit we had better results. The therapists were gentle and knew what they were doing. The young girls, same as young as my own, made me feel comfortable at my sessions. The rooms were kept super clean, (A must need for my allergy issues). They even made sure the dogs and cats were kept away from me. Satsang, Prayers, nature walks, community dinner etc., made me want to come again and sooner. Dr Ramkumar’s Vision, has definitely borne fruit. My biggest plus: Sujatha my partner in crime, (natyam) and Aparna make me feel so welcomed here. Found some beautiful friends here looking forward to coming back soon.

This is my first trip to Vaidyagrama but not my last. When I had heard about this place on Sarah Williams blog, I quit sugar; I thought to myself, this sounds my kind of Place. It’s authentic, caring and has a vision for creating a community dedicated to healthy bodies and happy spirits. The team is efficient from the doctors, to the therapist and the cleaners everyone is working together. I feel like I have stayed in a little Paradise of peace with the sound of triode flowing through the trees, outside my window, Birds chirping, people chanting, Bells ringing so different to my day today life. Thanks to the treatments.
I feel so much better. Now I Just have to create a new routine based on the sound advice received from the doctors during the satsangs.
A big thank you to the doctors and therapist for your patience and kindness.

A heaven of wellness, of wellbeing. The doctors led in our case by Dr Ramanandan are full of insight and empathy. The staff are full of helpfulness and caring. The architecture, greenery and peace are healers in themselves.
As a result, each of us is visibly better than we were when we came.
We will certainly hope to return next year.

The addition of Dr Vinod has added to the goodness of Vaidyagrama, as is Dr Anupama, Shiny and all the staff in block 4 were amazing and as always Dr Ramanandan you are amazing!
Thank you.

This was a short experience but definitely got a taste of something I want more of. This has made me learn that I want more from life, but not in the greedy way. Need more of nature, love and care. I really enjoyed the entire process of the treatment and all the take away of the explanations behind everything. I really came to understand that one foot pain cannot be treated in isolation but need to be connected in the entire body and mind. The slow living at VG is a threat in itself listening to the birds and rustle of the trees.
Looking forward to returning to VG!

As we entered Vaidyagrama we felt peace and experienced positive vibes on entering our room we realised the simplicity and the most modern facilities. We were welcomed at the reception with warmth and pleasing smile. We were so comfortable that not for a moment we missed our home or family. The treatment given to me was excellent; the girls were constantly concerned about my comfort. Their healing touch was very soothing. The visits of the doctors were so regular. Their concern about our wellbeing and their treatment was very touching. The food was simple and we realised we get the real taste of the vegetables and grain. It was always served hot and on time. The satsang with the doctors was very informative. It was a great learning experience. The prayer both morning and evening was something we looked forward to. A big thank you for the unforgettable experience.

Never in my grown up life I have been so well looked after and rested so much as here at Vaidyagrama. It is really like a healing paradise. Every one working here so kind, friendly and loving. I felt very safe and protected. After staying here, I feel strong enough and very inspired to go back home with a suitcase full of new knowledge and medicines — ha, ha… The treatments were amazing. The Satsangs very interesting and helpful. The other activities like community dinner and cooking class were fun. I feel so much better now, than when I arrived. My deepest gratitude to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Vinod, Dr Ramadas for all the care and advices.
Hope to be back.

The 21 days have gone by so peacefully and I will miss my Vaidyagrama Family. Thank you all for providing everything my heart needed to detox from a stressful and busy career and to feel alive again after the death of my husband. I am reminded that I am truly blessed. I am feeling lighter, more balanced and happier, thanks to my experience here. The personalised care, specialized treatments, terrific satsang, sunrise and sunset, prayers, garden walks, cooking classes, pooja and healthy diet –all surrounded by natural beauty and genuine community, make for a healing, nurturing and rejuvenating environment. I appreciated the gentle care, kind advice and expertise of Chief Dr Harikrishnan and Dr Aruna, Dr Mini and Ofcourse Dr Princess Lucy, that helped me fulfil my goals, lifestyle changes that I will continue to practice at home. I will always fondly remember the day Dr Princess helped me through my sadness during a treatment. She stood beside me like a heavenly angel, giving me support and comfort with her beautiful smile and peaceful demeanour one does not always encounter that level of attention. I appreciated my wonderful and skilled Ayurveda therapists –Athitra.N, Sreeshma, Deekshita and Vidya for providing “ Feel –good" treatments and along with Vidya. M.P for delivering my medicines and daily sustainance. The professionalism and effort of the entire staff and large team of workers –kitchen, admin and office, housekeeping, drivers, laundry ladies, maintenance and more made my stay comfortable. I enjoyed my room in block 9. I will strongly recommend Vaidyagrama to family, friends and others. The atmosphere and every person here had a part in turning my tears of sorrow into tears of gratitude and joy. Wishing you all peace and blessings. With heartfelt gratitude and love until we meet again.

The experience has taken away what wasn't good for my physical and emotional health and have added love for living and enthusiasm to keep looking after the body. Here I have learn routine, how to eat healthy quantity of food. I got use to tastes, smells of nature and the importance of water. I will miss being here but I go back home feeling happy and inspired. Feeling committed to keep on this journey.

Youhave taught me lesson's for life. You have made me find the peace within my physical body I always or I never thought would exist. This treatment and your Divine people have inspired me to live a life that belongs to nature. I couldn't be more excited to peruse this which now feels like a birth right. Vaidyagramais like a walk into life. The most incredible experience and teachings I will carry with me. Youhave showed me how magnificent the natural harmonious living we can have within the body, mind and spirit.

I am so blessed to be here. I could (and will) stay longer to resolve more issues. I am amazed and honoured by the level of attention and care received. I cannot even single out anyone because every single care giver was fully present. I felt heard and seen. I will return for sure and bring friends and family if possible. All my issues were not resolved as they have been a long time coming. It is my responsibility to now follow through and take better care to have those results. And I feel a positive determination as well as inspired to do the right thing, that is – no coffee for example. I am so grateful that I was able to be here. Thank you to all my care givers. Thank you to all sharing their gifts. Thank you! Particularly love the chanting and prayer time. What a gift. The satsangs, actually everything. I loved the beautiful green herbal trees, plants and ecological nature of this retreat. Suggestion: A roll for under the knees on the table (for lower back) and name tags for everyone working here. Hope to see you all in a year or so!
Peace and blessings to all of you for all I have received in abundance.

I am grateful to once again return to this sacred Vaidyagrama healing village. This place has grown since I was last here 7 years ago - but the graciousness, the invitation to know oneself better, and the environment to heal remain that same sacred frequency I so remember and am so grateful to return to. I am always both relieved and delightful to slow the speed and turn the volume of life down while here. The personal presence of staff, therapists, and doctors is refreshing, satisfying as I feel seen, heard and cared for. Satsang proves to be a great reminder; inspiring encouraging, empowering. As treatment cleanses and balances body/ mind, my soul feels equally nourished here. And that's the holistic thing about here - it includes everything, leaves out nothing, creating the feeling of wholeness, health, and well-being. I loved reconnecting with Dr Hari Krishnan, making new friends, building new relationship with other doctors. How extraordinary to be in the presence of those who are congruently offering what they already are - same healthy people living balanced, wisely chosen lives. I am hands over my heart fulfilled to be here immersed in and amongst those who celebrate and walk this time-honoured wisdom path. Thank you everyone for your contribution to the greater whole here and for helping my stay be extraordinary.

As with each stay at Vaidyagrama, it was again a most transformational rewarding experience. Of my seven visits, this was my first time bringing a group from USA. All were touched deeply by the integrity, authenticity and care they received by every single soul who together make Vaidyagrama, the unique and loving house of healing and sustainability that it is. Each time I receive treatment, my body/mind experience a deeper level of healing and balance. No longer do I experience chronic insomnia that plaguedme for years. My gallbladder no longer attacks or has symptoms - and I kept the organ by incorporating the wisdom of diet, disciplines, lifestyle that Ayurveda and Vaidyagrama so generously share and teach. No longer are the acute hot flashes and night sweats - my body has eased into menopause, and my mind is more satire than it ever has been - all this with deep gratitude to my therapists Athira N, Anju, Lakshmi and Athira A and the wisdom of unparalleled care of doctors Princess, Aruna, Mini, Ramdas, Ramkumar and especially Dr Harikrishnan who I have entrusted completely with this process, care and knowledge. Thank you all, including every special person who brings their attention to Vaidyagrama whose service here whether it be in the garden, maintenance, housekeeping, laundry, kitchen or administration helps us heal with the gift of your presence and commitment, to building and nurturing a real healing village, heaven on earth. Aparnajiand Geethaji- much gratitude for all your guidance and support of stay. May god bless you all. May you all be happy, healthy and nourished. Thank you for nourishing our bodies, minds and hearts.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, Words cannot begin to express how grateful I am for having found a place like this. I really feel like I have been taken care of and looked out for. Although there is more work to do, this is a very good start, I appreciate all that you have done and are doing to keep this hospital running the way it does. It cannot be an easy thing but I am sure it is very fulfilling to see a vision this big come to fruition. I look forward to seeing where you will take it next.Many blessings.

I came to Vaidyagrama because of my brother. I was feeling stuck and very unwell in my life back home and he could not recommend this place enough and I can now totally see why. I felt calming and positive as we walked through the reception. The doctors were so welcoming and listened patiently. All the staffs we met interacted with, or even passed by smile and show caring.
The treatment by Dr Ramanandanseems to be working in the space of just a few days here. I feel calmer, less anxious, and generally rejuvenated. He was supportive and offered life advice too. All the team Dr Nishanth, Dr Vinod, my therapist Devaki and all the girls in my block were caring and supportive.
The afternoon satsangsand talks were so insightful. I have learned and got reminded of the importance of leading a simpler, wholesome life.
Special thanks to Dr Ramanandanfor accommodating my son and husband during their short stay here too. I loved visiting Balagrama,Lakshmigrama, and the inspiring vision of Dr Ramkumar. His Satsangsare special too. We met lovely people from all over the world and had a great time over the last three weeks. I hope I can take forward some of the positivity and things I learned here into my life back home. Wishing everyone much love and luck and thank you so much for the nurturing care and support you provided us.

This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama. This has got to be one of the best Ayurveda healing set ups in the country. The doctors and staffs are so humane and genuinely caring.

This is my second visit, and as last time I am going back happier and healthier. Being partially cut off from the outside world, has given me the chance to not only cleanse my body, but also my mind. The fact that I am definitely going to come back again shouldn't come as a shock. I am especially grateful to Dr Mini for being a constant support. Thank you for taking care of me and pushing me outside of my comfort zone. I would also like to thank Dr Hari Krishnan for being so nice and treating me so well. Last but not least, my biggest thank you to all the therapists and helpers who make this place so clean and beautiful.
Until next year

DearVaidyagramafamily this is my first visit. What an amazing experience. I had 20 days of intense treatments [some difficult and some so nurturing] my mind and body feel so cleansed and relaxed. I am so grateful for help, guidance, supports and knowledge. Thank you, Vaidyagramafamily I look, forward to return next year. Warm wishes.

Oh my God!!! Where do I start???
I just spend 26 days here in pod 8. (As I don't like the word block), in the beginning I stayed in room number 307 and then moved to 305. Dr Mini is just marvellous. So attentive and caring and always willing to go out of her way to help and assist. Sajitand other therapists are amazing in what they do, so patient caring and humble in their work, it is just amazing. The satsang of Dr Ramadasand Dr Nishanth, are an inspiration. So are the morning and evening prayers. To sit there and listen to chants that are thousands of years old is just the kind of inspiration one needs being in a healing place like Vaidyagrama.
With all my love and humble appreciation

The valuable time at Vaidyagramahas been an incredible experience. I have learnt so much with all the satsangs-especially with Dr Ramkumar totally inspiring. Thank you to Dr Nishanth Dr Ramanandanfor all your support and knowledge. The therapist is caring and I love a little prayer started before the treatment. It nearly brought tear as I found it so caring and beautiful.
Thank you everyone at Vaidyagrama- I love your authentic philosophy on Ayurveda way of life. Totally enjoyed the garden walk too. This will be a lifelong memory that I will treasure and put to practice. Thank you again- I do hope to be back soon.

Being a student of Ayurveda, I was very keen to come to Vaidyagrama, having heard so many positive things about the treatment offered here. The treatments care and love shared by the staff and doctors was wonderful to behold. The sense of community we experienced at the satsangs and prayer meetings, add much to the mental calm and peace one feels in this environment. Being surrounded by nature and listening to the calls of the birds only adds to it. Having said that, we also found inconsistencies in the treatment day to day and our bathroom had a terrible stench which made it difficult to be in our room. Having stayed for 7 days, we did not find much difference physically, though mentally – the mind is quiet and one de-stresses to a large extent.
We plan to come back again for a longer stay, after having use the herbs we carry back for a few months to get our bodies prepared for a more intensive healing session. Thank you and Namaskar.

To all,I am deeply appreciative of the time I have spent here. I feel as if I am seeing the world differently. For the first time in my life, I have (mostly) lived with the rhythms of nature. I feel this is the way we are meant to live, and that many health difficulties arise from living out of tune with nature. I have learned at Vaidyagramathat I must take care of the environment for me. I have a bit more discipline where food is concerned (though I still dream of a warm butter croissant). My deepest gratitude to Dr Ramanandanfor his artful care. Thanks to Dr Ramkumar for his counselling and to Shyniand Devi. Thanks to all the staff here. I will endeavour to trust, flow, and surrender. I am sure I will fail at times, but that's okay.

Vaidyagramais a wonderful environment to heal physically and mentally. Despite being young and staying for such a short amount of time, I feel mentally rejuvenated. I think I will come back soon to feel better physically. (Had 7 days of treatment but I am not feeling any better or different in my body). Hopefully next time my body will be able to heal. (Alsocertain bathroom pipes seem to need repair, quite a few have strong stench making it hard to breathe). Thank you for such a high level of care.

Thank you to the many care givers at Vaidyagrama, Dr Harikrishnan, Dr Ramanandan, Dr Mini, Dr Aruna, Dr Princess and therapists Sajit, Girish, Rathesh, Subash and Laluprasad. You took very good care of me because of which I am feeling much lighter and better. Thank you also to the many cooks, cleaners, admins, and other back office staff who keep the place running. We will be back soon, and for a longer period of time, so that you can "work your magic".
Thank you and Namaste

Tomorrow I leave for the second time. When I planned my trip to India, I did not know how much I would love being at Vaidyagrama. So, I left after 6 days here to continue my travels. However, when I arrived at my next destination all I felt was a longing to come back to Vaidyagrama. So, I did. I asked if I could come back and if there was space for me. I am so grateful. I can’t think of a better way to spend my time here .Ifeel so relaxed and rejuvenated. My mind feels calm. I have learned everything during my stay. The food is so good. Everyone is so kind. The education and the mantra, so grounding. The doctors are very insightful and skilled. I will recommend this lovely place to many people. I hope to return

I have heard of this piece of heaven on earth for 7 years now and I was finally able to come and experience of the healing properties of Vaidyagrama. I will be leaving tomorrow back home, but I feel that I am leaving here in this sacred place part of my heart. I could go on and on about how I feel reflecting on my 12 days. I have written a journal (first time in my life), I was reading it last night and everything took me back to these wonderful past weeks. I am going home feeling rested, feeling light, feeling happier than when I came in (and I am a happy person!) I am going home feeling loved, respected, heard, nourished.
Every single member of this house of love and healing must feel proud of Vaidyagrama and the work being done. Professionalism, yes is there, knowledge, yes, it’s there too!! But all this without the good intentions and open and bright heart would not be complete. I do have a suggestion; keep doing what you are doing (minus a little bit of red rice Ha, ha ha). I truly hope to someday to return and experience this all over again and to get to see my pomegranate plant to grow and bear fruit. Dr Aruna, thanks for everything, you are a great listener and the best at answering my long list of questions!! May your life be filling with many more blessings – Thanks, thanks, thanks.

Ayurveda always interests me. InVaidyagramaI actually experienced it. Eventwo days gave me an insight such that I feel like continuing further! The smiles on the faces of all have been really inspiring. I feel better already and guess what? I always thought peacocks were Rajasthani's! I found two here and their calling all day.

My first and my wife’s second time at Vaidyagrama undoubtedly couldn’t have been better but for the amazing doctors' therapists' staff and all. My best wishes to Vaidyagrama family to keep their good work. Special mention to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Harikumar& Dr Ramadasfor their guidance. And kudos to Dr Ramkumar for all the enriching sessions and satsang.

Will come back soon again!! Thanks also to Dr Ramkumar for his knowledge imparted in the afternoon satsangs. Dr Suvedhatoo good.

DearVaidyagramafamily
This is my 4thvisit since 2009; the Vaidyagrama family has grown along with the facilities. I have always felt a deep connection with this place and the people. My current stay has been a dream. 20 days of unadulterated joy along with intense treatment which has made my body and mind light and comfortable. A special mention about the staff which is so well trained respectful and always looking to serve with a smile. My visit to Balagrama was the highlight of this visit. What a noble activity!!! There is so much to say and so much to write yet nothing to say and nothing to write. Because whatever there is to say is in the sound of silence and to write between the lines.
With deep gratitude

DearVaidyagrama,
Like my previous visit I only feel immense gratitude and joy along with stability in my body and clarity in mind. The past 6 months have been exceptionally stressful for me due to a project I have been doing and these 12days at Vaidyagramawere like an oasis in the middle of a desert and has given me enough strength and rejuvenation to accomplish what is now ahead with enough grace and stability and reminding myself how Important a balanced state of being is for it to manifest in the work and life too. I wish I could build both my physical home and the home of my body like Vaidyagramaand carry forth all precious gems from here and haltthem there so they remain with me till my last breath. The days here for me were like life light of the glorious sun is to a tree.PS: thank you Dr Ramadas, Dr Harikumar, Dr Vasudevan, Dr Sajnaand to all community here
Forever grateful

The practical applied knowledge of Ayurveda used here in Vaidyagramahas amazed me as well as benefited myself. The treatments are of very good quality and also applied with a caring and responses approach. And I have been humble because I learned here that without compassion, knowledge will not bear fruit. I have also learned that food needs to keep channels clear as well as be healthy and nourishing. Then there is the staff here, I am impressed by how the doctors have developed a very good team or family to work with them in the healing village. Plus, the rooms have been great to stay in; there are lovely buildings here and it is a quiet, peaceful environment to rest and heal in. All these things combined and more which I am not fully aware of as it is my first stay here, make for a very effective healing and rejuvenating treatment. My thanks to Dr Ramanandanand Dr Vinod and Dr Nishanth for wonderful medical care, healing and help with a more holistic lifestyle. I feel encouraged to maintain my health until next year visit and to tell others who have a need about Vaidyagrama.

I am deeply grateful for the whole staff and community here. It was my first time coming here, specifically through a time where I have felt the least healthy in my body and mind. I am moved by positive changes I feel in my body now. I feel more connected to my body and now its functions. Also, the cloud in my mind has gone away to a degree. I admire the authenticity, care and kindness of every single doctor, the therapist and staff. Beyond that, the food and the design of the space itself, from the natural lighting to the plants surrounding the whole space, has played a major role to this healing experience. Thank you for the work that you do and thank you for having me. I took forward to returning for a longer stay.

Christina – a fellow patient in room 308 described Vaidyagrama so beautifully. I don't have words to match what she wrote in the previous page. Please read what she wrote. (Refer July comments) We owe to ourselves and our loved ones to take serious note of the health-giving practices we have learnt at Vaidyagrama. But, most of all we owe it to all doctors, therapists, kitchen staff, helpers and the admin team at Vaidyagrama to remain worthy of their genuine care, attention and love. The list of people I wish to thank is long but I will pick Dr Harikrishnan, Dr Princess Lucy and Laluprasad as my guardian angels and wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for all they have done. Your dedication to your work and ever giving attitude is what makes Vaidyagrama so special. I leave Vaidyagrama healed both in my soul and body. Kudos

What a magical place this; full of wonderful people energized with the powerful values and deep love for the comic journey. It's infectious really; being here for 3 weeks has been a gift I only now realize how badly I needed. I came to treat digestive symptoms, improve my physical health and instead begin a deep operation on all parts of my being physical mental and spiritual. These weeks have been full of joy, pain, learning, struggle yet none of these adjectives will capture the essence of what happened here- healing. I am forever grateful to the energy that flows through so many of the people here DrRamanandanfor orchestrating my treatment and offering support in all domains of life. Your smile will stay with me. Dr Vinod, my healer and brother in jnana, your patience and enthusiasm carried me forward. Sooraj, Arun and my other therapist brothers. What love you shared with me! You supported me and nourished me like a child, what a gift to experience that love again. All of the staff, who work tirelessly to enable this space, I know you are the force behind my healing. Deviji,your energy is inspirational, may I have the opportunity to serve you one day.

DearVaidyagramafamily,
It was third time for me and first time for my mother. Realizing this trip was not easy persuading people etc, the day here was another actual challenge.
I was thinking no problem will happen if I translate the language to my mom, but not that simple. I learnt that patient becomes so fragile and sensitive both in mind and body. We thought or talked a lot and tried to keep the peaceful mind, it didn’t work always. Many people helped us, doctors, therapists, other patients. We appreciate for all and everyone. Another difficulty was that symptoms didn’t reduced significantly during the stay. It is so reasonable that years of disease can’t be cured completely in three weeks. Now I believe things are moving in a good way and recovery comes when we forget. It was wonderful 3 weeks here in Vaidyagrama.
Thank you for everything and hope to see you again.

Thank you, Dr Ramanand, Dr Nishanth and Renjithand Sainudheen(therapist). I have learned a lot in 7 days about Ayurveda and how to leave life. I feel so blessed to have visited this place. This is in every sense a holistic healing place. I came to Vaidyagramawith my wife and 8-year-old son, I am glad we experienced this place together. I am new to Ayurveda. Vaidyagramais the place to know about Ayurveda in the purest form. Satsangsare not to be missed. Thank you, Dr Ram, Dr Ramdas, Dr Ramanand, Dr Nishanth and Dr Mini for answering all our questions and imparting valuable information on Ayurveda! Dr Ramanand, Hakeem and other staff went out of the way to help me to do and important video conference call.
Thank you Vaidyagrama

Love the location, The lush green surrounding, the Artis and chants by DrRamadasin the morning and evening, all the satsangswhere we learnt about Ayurveda, The cooking lessons ,Go Pooja and the beautiful people, I met from all over the world. Had a great experience. Enjoyed the community dinner. Thank you for all the Lovely therapists and the helpers, they made our stay and the treatments very comfortable.

What do I comment on? When something feels so close to heart it is like writing appreciation letters to our friends and family maybe that's what the world needs a bit more now. Deva truly enjoyed her visit to Vaidyagramathis time too. but she made sure to save a few memories so that she doesn't forget it again .Herwalks with dheedis,play times with Rithuam sure she is going to ask me to bring her back as soon as we get back home. We were worried about her picky eating habits when we came here but Dhanya was a true blessing there. We have seen her work, her Magic with the deva and helped us out when she refused to eat food and even switch up her menu got Deva the favourite Upma.
Special thanks to the doctors for making me feel comfortable and welcome full listening to my worries and discomforts thank you for your suggestions and advises. I'll try to incorporate more of it into my life and I still looking forward to my third visit.
Thank you

This is my second time in Vaidyagrama; some of my experience here has been similar this time to the last time, and some a little different. But this is not in my mind, given that it’s never exactly the same ‘I’ who has come here. What has remained a constant are the beauty of this place and the kindness of the team here. One of my favourite aspects has always been the sonic dimension of Vaidyagrama. From the breeze that envelopes the trees (and us within and next to them), to the daily concert of so many birds (last counted a dozen different cells), to the penetrating frequencies of DrRamkumar’ssatsangs, and the healing cadences of Dr Ramadasprayers. And then there’s the daily encounter with squirrels, butterflies, caterpillars, lizards, incredible beetles, cats, dogs and cows during pooja. For me all these elements are as essential as the treatments themselves, and what contribute to making Vaidyagramaa special place in my heart. Not forgetting that the ethical and social pillars that underpin the vision of Vaidyagramaresonate deeply with my understanding of who’sthe world stands today. I want to extend my deepest gratitude and warmth to my doctors (Dr Ramadas& Dr Harikumar, and their teams) for the care and insights they have granted me. Deepest appreciation too, to my therapists for their hard work concern. And alsoto the kitchen team & office/reception team for their work & care. Wishing everyone all the best for a healthy happy life ahead
Warmest wishes

I am so happy I chose to come here. Although I was not able to stay the full 21 days, the doctors worked with me to find a beneficial treatment for my time here. It was such a safe, peaceful, welcoming place to land for my first time in India. I can feel my body and mind relaxing. I love the holistic approach to health here. The environment, the education, the mantra, the culture, the nature, all of it combined to make a perfect and wonderful place for healing. All of the doctors and practitioners are so skilled and kind. They take time to answer questions and make a new process understandable. I truly hope to return again for the full time and I come, to leave being like a family.
Thank you for everything

For me it was not good may be my luck, may be my attitude, and may be my specific condition. I am impressed with the best effects to follow in traditional Ayurveda. I am disappointed in the forcefulness of doctors. After 21 days eating the diet and taking medicines. I am left with more troublesome symptoms; I hope in time I will feel the benefit of my time at Vaidya Grama.

I can't quite believe that I feel a range of sadness as I leave Vaidyagrama after nearly 3 weeks of our stay here. Our stay here has been extremely fantastic and nothing at all like what we expected to be. It has worked wonders on both our body and mind well. The atmosphere and our daily routine throughout our time here have been the most refreshing, relaxing and positive. We have ever felt it a long time. Thank you to the entire staff for their brilliant service and fantastic hospitality. We were always surrounded with positive energy, a massive gratitude for the Satsang by Dr Ramkumar, Dr Ramadas and Dr Ramanandan for they have opened up new avenues of thinking and approach of life. We are truly blessed to have been able to experience them. Many thanks to the therapist especially Bindu for the selfless and very alternative approach throughout. We take away positive thoughts, and are also more hopeful than ever of being able to achieve our dreams. Hopefully very soon, needless to say this is only the start of what to be become a lifelong association with this wonderful Vaidyagrama family.

This is my third time coming back for a short study time with Dr Ramadas and two week treatment under his care. Again receiving all gifts Vaidyagrama has to offer. The peacock’s sound first thing in the morning, the symphony of all birds and insects, the greenery in all the plants surrounding compound, all the sweet calm faces of staffs, the intention of an authentic Ayurveda practice behind everything.
Love and gratitude in my heart always to this whole community, physicians, therapists, administrators, cleaners, cooks, maintenance teams, gardeners, receptionists and many more unseen operations to help make this place a healing home.
Love all the children and the sounds they make when they are here. They bring joy to my heart. There is always more to improve. Just keep the level of awareness in the Heart Centre always.

Vaidyagrama is a silent and unassuming healing Centre which goes on to prove that a medicine alone does not relieve the agonies of patients.
The atmosphere created for patients here is very unique, the rich dense flora which I abundant within, is so effectively thought of and maintained, and is by itself is a great healing addition to the medicines.
Doctors do not sport stethoscope or white coats’ there is absolutely no hurry, while attending the patients. This creates in fact a strong, free optimum field which again is very effective healing factor.
The premises, rooms, treatment centres are very spacious, volumetric and patients do not feel that typical Hospital air. This is no doubt a great appreciable feeling.
The regular Satsang among patients and doctors further reduces the space and give tremendous opportunity for frank questions by patients; it is another factor for effective healing process.
This healing Centre had very effectively brought out that, the time treated healing power resting on spirituality. Every day starts with prayer and ends with Sahasranamam chanting which is attended by all including foreigners, occasional special poojas, which enhances healing process in the their own way.
Above all, an organisation like this has to have multiple levels of service staffs, credits go to management and the staffs in equal measures, services go on absolutely silent and diligent.
Diet is an important part of healing, cooking the food, delivery system is so well set and we had to give whatsoever.
The healing Centre has gone long way to convince us all that how addiction to cell phone, computer and internet hinder the healing process.
There is a well thought of a give and take arrangement for that a dedicated spot, where patients can connect with their near and dear, appreciated.
Sum in total; Vaidyagrama is totally a wonderful healing Centre.

This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama. My daughter Siva Jyothi, who is living at Austin City, USA advised and sent here. Honouring her advice, I came here. I am very much satisfied with the medical gardens grown here by Vaidyagrama for healthy air with full oxygen. Dr Princess, Dr Mini and Dr Sonia treated me well and good. I am satisfied with the treatment given by massage section. I had seen people from various countries such as Vietnam, Brazil, France and Australia undergoing treatment here at Vaidyagrama. Staffs and other employees are very kind and work minded. I am very much satisfied with all services given by the hospital authorities.

This is my first visit for 20 days. The experience was nothing but positive. Dr Harikrishnan explained the procedure and how to keep up with a healthy life outside. I immensely enjoyed all the massages and treatment. Dr Aruna, Dr Soniya, Dr Princess were all very supportive, calm, and pleasant. They helped me whenever I struggled with any procedures. Therapists were all very friendly, exceptionally caring, especially vidya with her consent smile. The environment itself gave a break from the hustle bustle of a city and helped me to relax and I enjoyed meeting people from all over the world in the mandapam every day.
The daily poojas especially done by Dr Ramadas in his baritone voice was very beautiful. I did struggle with the food a bit, but it is more to do with my habits and I understood the importance of diet especially during treatment. It did get better in the last week though.
I wish to thank everyone and Vaidyagrama for the care and for creating such a beautiful place. Looking forward in coming here the next year.

Experience as a patient in Vaidyagrama for the second time was quite a great experience, away from the busy routines and schedules into the serene calmness of Vaidyagrama. I really enjoyed the days here, safe and secure in the hands of efficient doctor (special thanks to Dr Harikumar), cared and pampered by the therapists, gentle touch of love from housekeeping and all other staff. A memorable experience in total and no words can express my gratitude.
Heartfelt thanks to one and all

Thanks to each and every one for making my stay here at Vaidyagrama unforgettable.
The love and passion spread here is amazing. Special thanks to Dr Ramadas for giving his whole heart into what he does. It was absolutely a pleasure to have him as a doctor taking care of me. And of course, also a big thanks to all other doctors as well as the therapists.
The whole experiences, care, prayers, treatments, pujas, people around are very delighting and for sure will remain in my heart and memories.
To keep the good spirit or maybe even improve it, a bit more supervision could be helpful. Sometimes the towels were really smelly and haven’t been changed in the room.
The therapists are very loving and absolutely caring, but I sometimes had the feeling that the treatments are to be improved as it was not always aligned with what the doctors have described, just some feedback to improve even more.
Lots of love and hopefully see you soon.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Thank you for your care and attention to me. It has been an amazing 20 days journey which I will cherish.
Doctors especially Dr Ramadas makes you feel like family. His prayers resonate the entire day.
The spiritual aspect of the treatment was very fulfilling.
Really enjoyed all the satsangs, Dr Ramkumar’s interaction was very enriching.
I hope to come back soon. Keep up the good work.
Lots of love
P.S- it would be even better if the house keeping department did random checks to see if the towels do not smell & has a soap towel in the room.
Supervision in the treatment room will also improve the standards further.
The doctors may do a check once in a while to see if the treatments are being done in the correct manner.
This feedback is to make this place the best in the world.
Wishing you all the very best always

As a student of Ayurveda coming from Australia, to have the opportunity to study at Vaidyagrama was a dream come true. I had an amazing experience, learning one on one with the doctors in such a traditional way. It has been incredible and really brought my understanding of Ayurveda to a new level. To be immersed in the Ayurvedic lifestyle with the prayers, pujas, food, lifestyle, nature, doctors and therapists has given me a very whole experience. The teachings and my time here at Vaidyagrama will be in my heart forever, and I hope to be back very soon.
Big thanks to Dr Ramadas and all the doctors for having me, for sharing their knowledge and wisdom.
A Big thanks also to Balagrama, for welcoming me and letting me stay with them. Also to all the kitchen staffs for always making sure I had eaten.
Lots of love, to everyone at Vaidyagrama.

Thank you for the opportunity of growing, healing and exploring myself.
I loved the satsangs and learned wisdom in the prayers of Dr Ramadas that made a big shift in my mind, heart and body.
Sorry Dr Harikrishnan that I made some problems and it is now nice for me to see that I can trust you and also tell you about my wishes, feeling and needs.
It was a 3 month way of crying, anger, exploration and so much learning about Ayurveda health and me.
Thanks to Dr Aruna ji, I love her wide open heart and also a big thanks to Sreeshna (therapist girl).
Some things could really be better in future is to create better service for patients to make the stat and healing journey more effective.
I am looking forward to see you all in March again for my start study programme and further healing treatment.

Waking up to the sounds of nature every day, time slowing down, lovingly treated by staff and patient, prayer, group dinners, lectures, conversations, the cats walking in Vaidyagrama, colouring, reading, walking every day, different poojas, the sound of the monsoon rain and of course mosquitoes are all memories we will take with us from Vaidyagrama, Calming the mind, letting go, and breathe. This is our first Ayurvedic experience and it has been challenging. The treatments have been difficult at times. The food was difficult to accommodate throughout our stay but my daughter was in so much pain and was so tired and was beginning to give up when we arrived. Within 3 weeks the level of improvement in her health and well-being and happiness has been miraculous. We are so very grateful to all the Vaidyagrama staffs for this gift they have given to us.
We wish Vaidyagrama the greatest of success in achieving their mission and maintaining this loving experience.

Dear friend Dr Ramadas and awesome team
Last day at Vaidyagrama- The wailing of peacocks early morning, doves cooing, slightly cold air, walking thankfully out the gate, The dawning of a pale Sky, Many birds singing their joy, In this Paradise of birds, One motor bike starts, Not a wink of sleep, Something has lifted in my 70 year old loneliness. A new life emerging in my being, At long last, New but familiar energy, After many months of being half dead. A new confidence after a Great day of shopping with the lovely Alicia at Fab India and Pothys.

My two week stay in Vaidyagrama has been a unique experience. Living in a Satwik was spiritually elevating. The doctors, therapists, staffs and other patients brought a special energy to this place of healing. Special were the prayers and the satsangs. I am touched and impressed by the other activities for the communities and that is why The Vaidyagrama has prevailed
Wish Vaidyagrama all the best on its journey

Thank you everyone for a wonderful stay. All the diagnosis and treatments were expertly carried out. The grounds are wonderful to walk around with so much beautiful nature. Everybody was very kind and friendly and was easy to convert to Ayurveda and I am looking forward to eat kichadi regularly. Your goal to create an authentic Ayurveda centre is admirable. However, please indulge me in some constructive criticism.
I feel that you cater to the desires/whims of the patients too much. If you remove the Wi-Fi, I think it would be very good. Many patients seem to spend so long on their laptops/phones every day. Personally I would love to come to a place where phones/tablets/laptops are banned with just a landline for emergencies. Many people like me would love to escape the digital age for a few weeks. It could be a good use for Vaidyagrama. That said, this place is offering something unique and I will recommend it to all my friends

To all the staff, therapists, Dr. Ramanandan & Dr. Vinod, thank you so much for our incredible stay here. I am inspired by the welcoming, loving approach to everything done at VG – the service, treatments, care and especially the openness in approach to our specific medical issue. It is truly eye opening and transformative to have the opportunity here and after to approach our health in a holistic wat – to reset our lifestyle, diet and mind and to reconnect to body and mind. It was a special place to do that with all of our needs so taken care of, and in a quiet, peaceful place.
Thank you for also reminding me that there is more to rest than sleep. I look forward to carrying these practices with me into everyday life and seeing its impact on our energy and mind.
P.S. It would be great to spend more time while here, learning from our doctor’s wisdom on the ayurvedic science behind our medicines and treatment and on our diet and lifestyle recommendations specific to us!
With lot of gratitude and love,

To everyone at Vaidyagrama,
Thank you so much for making this such a life changing journey for me.
The wonderful therapists looked after me like family & made me feel safe and supported always. Also Bhagiyam.
The doctors’ compassion and kindness is like nothing I have experienced before.
I learned so many amazing practices and so much wisdom from the satsangs.
There is so much I hope I will never take for granted –
Waking up to the sound of the rain.
The sounds of birds everywhere.
The beautiful smiles of all the staff.
Lovely clean organic food.
Being surrounded by nature at all times.
Fresh delicious cow’s milk.
The sweet smell of incense in the air.
The gentle breeze through the windows.
Watching the sunlight on plants.
Green everywhere.
Sounds of chanting in the distance.
Thank you for the experience,

This is my first experience and encounter with Ayurveda. In my two weeks at Vaidyagrama made me understand the power of Ayurveda in the healing process.
I learnt much about how our bodies function and the importance of healthy food and balanced nutrition, in order to enjoy a healthy life. The emphasis on other aspects, such as, reducing stress and anxiety and the benefits of living with nature enlightened me hugely.
I found the Satsangs enormously stimulating and very informative and provided me a strong and practical basis for the future.
Strangely, I started quite early to enjoy the food and do not miss tea/ coffee or spicy food – AMAZING!
Thank you Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Ardent for your patience and dedication. The team of Doctors are truly professionals and caring and so are the therapists.
The holistic approach to healing and integration of sustainability to all aspects of Vaidyagrama is truly amazing!
Greatly appreciate the experience!

Thank you for your care and attention. Everyone shows respect and love. I will go home with not only better health but with a better understanding of how to stay that way. I loved the food and would love for you to put out a cookbook. Maybe you could share a recipe a week by email and at the end of the year your cookbook could be ready to put out. I enjoyed the quiet and the time and space to rest. I seldom have enough although it is a priority for me. I loved the space with the abode, skylights, outdoor space, the nature right outside the window and the natural solutions like herbal water purifying and mosquito repellent. I liked the lecturers and educational component. And the incorporation of prayers morning evening and before treatment. Thank you so much for all.

So much loving kindness I have found here! There seems to be respected and attentive care from and to everyone. Treatments that begin with prayer and end with full gratitude every day are such a blessing, and the availability of the doctors is extremely rare in my experiences to date and I am 75 year old.
Thank you for this care filled stay. It is an example and will seek to repeat in my endeavours at home. I have gained a deeper understanding of how Ayurveda is a way of life and will cures. This with me to share with others also and see how my daughter has been growing in love, with this, family and I rest in her happiness.

I have full faith that my foot is healing and it will be cured completely. The many friends I met, the satsang, the prayers and the whole atmosphere vibrates with positivity and healing I found a lot of peace.

Simply amazing!
Everything about Vaidyagrama is love. The doctors are incredible, attentive, caring and generous with their time. The staff are so happy, cheerful and cordial. The food is very good. I am/ have always been excited to find out what we will be eating next, especially during the group dinner which are lot of fun. The Satsang, what a basketful of information of knowledge. Information to be treasured and taken by us back home to practice of continue learning from. I came here with my personal baggage load and issue. I leave light, healthy and happy. This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama and it certainly will not be the last. Vaidyagrama is a treasure to be shared and so it will be done. Trust me this experience will be share to everyone I know.

I was longing to go to an Ayurveda centre and the opportunity came through a friend for Vaidyagrama and I jumped on to it. My 11 days in Vaidyagrama was perfect. I was a little sceptical of whether I will be able to sustain. But thanks to all doctors specially Dr. Harikrishnan who build the confidence through various settings. I developed a feeling of complete surrender and trust that I am in best possible hands.
The other doctors like Dr. Sonia, Dr, Mini, and Dr. Princess were ever smiling and supporting us throughout the day and stay.
The food was sometimes not up to our taste but then as I came to know that this kind of food support the healing process, I stopped complaining.
The staff is also very humble, liked Athira very much. The stay would have been a perfect one had not been for the cockroaches. Request you all to do some kind of pest control for this menace.
Thanks everybody for a wonderful experience and I hope to go back home as a better human being, healthier, calmer and happier.
God bless you all.

Vaidyagrama honours the name as it states, far away from city, pollution and what not..! The mind and body both are relaxed at this place even though if you think you can’t, the people (staff, Doctors and therapists) everyone around makes it so simple to do so. Therapists Dhanya and Shiny and others are experienced and helps to sooth me and relax in all aspects during treatment. Doctors Dr Ramanandan, Dr Anupama, Dr Vinod, Dr Ardent, all was providing the best of treatment.
There is so much positivity at this place that helps for quicker healing. Keep doing the good work.

Dear friends, sweet family,
Since I start to talk with Aparna I felt a lovely attention. When she ends the email she write ‘with warm wishes’ it marked me and I started to use also. And this was only the beginning that was waiting for me. My goal in my life was work and live in a love way. True and unconditional love way, and I am blessed to find people like you and places like Vaidyagrama that teach me a lot to recognise my essence.
Right now, I’m listening a wonderful classical music that touch my heart and inspire me to write for you all in each detail, in each sound, in each word, in each look, in each smile, in each flower, birds, in each plant, in each tree, in each doctor, therapist, in all staff, exactly in all and in at all details has a healing intention.
I believe that love also it’s expressed in the details, and here on Vaidyagrama I also found these details. Take care for me means also, take care of the details. Here I see that have a true intention of expressing love in all the ways that the place and people can share.
I wish that God continue to bless all the people from here, that are here who have already passed here and who will still come and to bless this beautiful work to continue healing and inspiring people and caring of the community and nature.
Thank you so much for that do this for the world.
Thank you for take care of me.
With love.

This was an incredible experience! I am an Ayurveda doctor in the states and first time having panchakarma in India. Not only did my condition improve I have learned so much in the process. This wealth of knowledge will surely benefit my patients back home. I am in awe in how Vaidyagrama has created an authentic, traditional Ayurveda hospital that is sustainable in every way. And the staff were superb. From their cleanliness, kindness, and beautiful warming smiles, I felt right at home. Cannot want to return! Short to my outstanding doctors Dr. Aruna, Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Sonia.

What a vision, what an apostle of our dharma and tradition.
Words fail me in describing this abode of “Vaidyagrama”. The structure and layout is breath-taking. The design is so innovative and well considered. The greenery and earthiness is so core and charming. But it is the people who make this place such a Divine Place. Smile, Service and Simplicity, 3 mantras of people, be it Doctors, beyond all this Dr Ramkumar.
We are blessed to have this place. This is a role model for development. Health, Care, Service, Quality and much of love put together.
You will see me a lot more here, every year.

To my roommate Anne,
Great opportunity to share so many good conversations about our personal experiences and about learning from the gurus we follow, to share this enriches our soul, you are a person who has been searching your prana for a long period and sharing this insight travel with everyone. I feel you as a brave woman who decoded to do and think from the heart, you follow your dreams and make them happen and that is what life is about. It has been so good to have met you, “even though you woke me up”. You take things as they come and that is a great lesson in life.
To Vaidyagrama,
To each and every one who has made this place possible, thank you! If someone would have explain about this experience perhaps I would have been scared, you have to go through different process to understand that everything is done for a good reason. Although there are moments we do not understand it and we want to run away.
I felt cared protected and love!
Something you really need when you are going through such a huge process of healing from body and mind.
Thanks to everyone.

I would like to congratulate all the doctors at Vaidyagrama for creating the Ayurveda experience in its authenticity and fullness. Really appreciated the satsangs which touched on various topics to get us to understand the treatments and its reasons clearly. I am grateful that the staff and all the doctors are so humble, approachable and caring. It was like elders of our family taking care of us.
Special thanks to Dr. Princess who paid heed to every need of our stay. Also a warm thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan for patiently listening and explaining the treatments.
I would but request the person in charge of maintenance to please take care of the cockroach menace. It is the only experience in the centre which is not allowing to fully enjoy our stay.

Dear all,
I recently heard about Vaidyagrama through my friend Shy, and had minimal knowledge of Ayurveda. After spending these 14 days here, I have not only learnt a lot from the Satsangs and discussions but also discovered Ayurveda experimentally through my body and mind and have first-hand knowledge about the healing effects of this practice and lifestyle.
For that I want to thank all the Doctors and therapists and staffs for making my time here so beautiful and beneficial. I will definitely miss this place. The trees, the delicious food and kind smiles are so well received.
With love and respect.

When I entered Vaidyagrama my firm thought was what an enchanting place I was welcomed in traditional way. Dr. Sonia received me and the journey of two weeks began. I was curious to know this beautiful place. I wandered around and met beautiful people.
Vaidyagrama is a beautiful healing place. Dr. Harikrishnan is such an expert and easy to communicate with doctor, I could share all my problems, Dr. Mini, Dr. Sonia, Dr. Princess as well. As all these doctors are wonderful, humble, sympathetic and empathetic. These are the qualities I always look for in my doctors along with their expertise and I found these all in doctors here. Dr Mini always has smile on her face that made me feel good every time she come to check me up. Dr. Sonia is wonderful and suggested some helpful tips. Dr Princess was equally concerned about me have spoken to me at length, Dr. Aruna shared beautiful essence of herbs. Room therapist Ms Anju made sure I have required things in the room. Ms Athira and Ms Sreeshna were great at therapies. Ms Sreeshna made me feel good with her healing massage, both were checking about me being comfortable. Morning and evening prayers, Satsang, Other special prayers etc were all wonderful and healing.
I especially enjoyed group dinner not only for the reason that food is delicious but everyone mingling with each other and having joyful moments. My stay at Vaidyagrama is one of a kind and I will have all healing memories. I am very thankful to healing Vibes and beautiful and smiling and ready to help staff. I am grateful to Dr. Harikrishnan for perfect diagnosis and treatment plan and his ground to earth behaviour. I am also grateful to Dr. Mini, Dr. Sonia, Dr. Princess and Dr. Aruna for concerns they showed and empathy towards me. I loved my stay at Vaidyagrama. I will come back and also recommend this healing Centre to family and friends.
With love and gratitude.

Thanks and gratitude for all the teams which makes this Ayurvedic Centre unique.
I think duality is not real in seeing good or bad thing are not my goal here. But I found this book repeats duality. I can only say that which didn’t expect a hospital concept here being treated as a patient. The website shows a resort healing centre. I was looking for more a healing centre without this hospital main focus and services.
Of course I didn’t have severe health issue was looking for an Ayurvedic experience.
The experience was nice with the treatment that was my favourite us part of the day.
I would expect 2 treatments per day as it was too short and the day was too long not being able to go out to connect with nature.
A bit Extreme to do nothing during the day and no sun rays.
I expected more tasty Food.
But I was impressed to hear about other patients with severe health issues who were having good results with the Panchakarma that is great and did six days only but enough for me as I don’t like the hospital concept in a holistic place.
I must admit this six days allowed me to do really nothing and read more and meditate more.
Thanks again for the team and being apex to my views and requests during my stay.
Wishing all the best.
Gratitude and love.

I stayed in Vaidyagrama for 24 days. From the day I walked in the staff transpired care and kindness and everyday thereafter. The devotion of the staff and doctors is endless. The environment is very soothing. I also enjoyed the satsangs and other activities. This is truly a healing village which I hope to return to in future.
Thank you.

What a blessing these three weeks of treatment have been for me with the oil that was powered on my body. I received all the love and my body needed in order to rejuvenate. Thank you the therapists! With the food brought there thrice a day. I received all the nourishment needed for my digestive system to be happy. With the afternoon Satsang I received an education so important for body and mind now and in the future. Thank you doctors. Finally with the prayers and amazing pujas hopefully my soul has been like too. Ohm Shanti Shanti Shanti. Thank you so much to all who have made my stay here so amazingly pleasant and thank you to mother Earth.
With love and gratitude.
PS. Thank you to all those smiley faces we see around, the cleaners, the fumigators, the cooking team, the receptionist, gardeners etc.

All of the staff, including doctors, therapists, housekeeping and admin were warm and wonderful. The village was very welcoming from the moment of arrival. A few negatives include very hard beds, food that is difficult, at least to western patient and a distinct lack of feedback and information from the doctors as to the makeup of the treatments, medicines and their intended effects.

My stay here was for 7 days as a group with Indu Arora with yogsadhna.. I am from Milwaukee Wisconsin. I had a very difficult start because I asked Indu about the mosquitoes and heat and she said they were mild to nil. To me it has been so very hot and my skin was full of bites. Also I was surprised that there was no treatment during menstruation. Since the trip was scheduled during the new moon and for just 7 days. During the first couple of days with high Pitta and so many uncomfortable surprises, the staffs were very kind to me and worked so hard to help me catch my balance. A very sweet man whose name starts with ‘P’ delivered smoke every day to protect me from the mosquitoes and no one laughed at me for wearing so much scarves. Luckily I brought instant ice packs and it helped me to cool down on occasion.
Shiny was patient with me and was so confident in guiding me through m treatments at the end of the week. I could listen to her beautiful deep voice all day. I also had a gift of a Hand and Foot massage each evening, and I was so surprised by the gentle act of love of a treatment in my 3rdnight that I cried the whole time. The next two nights, I had a woman whose name starts with ‘B’ and she had me lay down for this. We had wonderful chats with her excellent English. On the second night we sang with her.
Overall, I was able to meet some deep challenges here and found some balance with them. I also hope that it will lead to more healing as I follow this advice at home. I lose nearly 1 pound per day and hope it will stay off and even continue. I will remember the visual beauty here with great detail and fondness. The smoke, flower bowls, trees in our block, center and covered walkways are my favorites. In gratitude for patience, beauty healing, care taking and wisdom.
Thank you.

Wow! We began our first trip to India with a week stay at Vaidyagrama. The level of care is not something I have experienced in other medical institutions. You offer true loving kindness. I appreciated that all of the staff took time to answer questions and explain Ayurveda. Your staff is patient and knowledgeable.
The treatment were wonderful. The food amazing. I wish I could have participated in a cooking class. The prayers were beautiful. Loved the group dinner night. I also appreciate the incredible atmosphere that is Vaidyagrama. So impressed with your efforts to respect the natural environment. The surroundings are lovely.
Thank you for taking such good care of us and for introducing us to your incredible world.
In peace.

This trip and stay at Vaidyagrama has been exactly what I needed. I put full faith in my yoga teacher Indu and Dr Ramadas, the healing community and as a result I am feeling so much better just in a short days. I have had low back pain chronically since 2014 and since my stay here. I have had no pain in my joints and I am able to lay flat on my back without needing to bend my knees to stop the back pain.
My body, mind and heart feel complete gratitude for this time here and honour to be able to experience this intentional healing environment.
I wish everyone here peace and love in their hearts and hope to stay in touch also thank you to Anjali, Bindu and Athira much love for beautiful heartfelt treatments and thank you to

I impulsively came on a trip to India especially because I wanted to immerse myself in Ayurveda to find healing beyond the physical layer, to heal something deeper in my mind, in my spirit. I have a feeling that the healing I have experienced here will also have many layers, will continue to create ripples as I integrate back to my life in Los Angeles. Understanding the integrity Vaidyagrama is built upon, integrity not just in caring for your patience but your community and environment deeper my understanding of the depth of Ayurveda. The expanse and the reach the layers and the consciousness. I am grateful for the experience, and to be able to see more clearly into myself as a result of my experience here. Vaidyagrama will leave on in my heart even as I am 9000 miles away. Thank you to my therapist Bindu and to my doctors specially Dr Vasudevan for his compassionate care, for encouraging me to cry I’m still working on it.
Thank you Vaidyagrama.

Last but not the least my chief Dr. Harikrishnan and the other doctors for their patience, time and efforts in making me feel better. Truly appreciate VG and team not to mention chefs, Shine and Muthu akka for making delicious food everyday am hoping my immune system is boosted enough until my next year at VG.

The doctors took time to understand my complaints and explain the treatment approach. Being a newbie to Ayurveda I really enjoyed the satsangs and question and answer with doctors. Great that such a place exist. Good luck and thanks for taking care of me.

Just a few comments from my personal experience,
1. Kindly improve the internet so less time is spent using it
2. Please offer a choice of main meals if possible
3. A kettle in the room would be much appreciated
4. Please arrange excursions to see beautiful places nearby
I would like to thank all the doctors and staff for their kind hospitality and being so nice to me for the past 21 days.

This was our first stay in Vaidyagrama and after experiencing such a wonderful time here, hopefully, we will plan next year also. Starting few days were quite difficult, due to our bad habits, addictions like morning tea and coffee, no TV, oily food etc. But slowly and gradually we got to know about Ayurvedic principles, treatment methods, and then started adapting to it and ended with more liking it. My mother in law is feeling much better, hopefully more improvement will take place. We have to keep patience. Vaidyagrama has wonderful staff, wonderful environment. Our Dr. Harikrishnan ji, he is so kind and so good at his job. Dr. Soniya, Dr.Sreeji have helped us so well, they are very sweet, very dedicated towards patients. Therapists Ms.Anju, Ms. Athira and Ms. Vidya were very helpful. Thanks to all so much.
Had a Wonderful experience.

This was my first time in an ayurvedic clinic and I imagined it being more of a spa, but apparently it was not. The panchakarma treatments were one of the hardest things in life, which helped me to even more realize my addiction to certain substances, furthermore, it made me realize the greed I had for satisfying my senses as much as possible. In conclusion, I will say that this is very healthy and pure place but some adjustments/improvements could be made. My only reason of coming here was health problem, which some started getting better, but for most important ones I cannot say anything, because it will take time. I believe in Ayurveda and I approve this place for being pure and reasonable. Rate: 8/10 – because there should always be space for improvements.

Stepping foot into Vaidyagrama immediately gave me a sense of peace and tranquility. The warmness of the staff at the reception. Sudhikshna, her smile just lifts up my day. Vaidyagrama has built and nurtured this surrounding and environment with the people, staff and Doctors so perfectly. I am amazed at the charitable initiatives happening as well.
I have understood the nature of my body in my short 4 days stay here and never have I had such a pure understanding of the root of my diseases.
I thank Dr Ramanandan and Dr Vinod who understood and explained my body nature to me and looked after me spiritually as well. Thank you to the staffs Lavanya, Mekha, who consciously made my treatments so wonderful and took care of me. I would like to visit Vaidyagrama again for 21 days.
This was only a teaser to Ayurveda for me. I have already learned so much in my 4 days here. I really enjoyed the Satsangs with the Doctors here, who shared their years of experience, experiments and knowledge with me.
Thank You Dr Ramanandan, Dr Ramadas, Dr Harikrishnan and Dr Vinod for giving me the tools to embark on a healthier, sustainable lifestyle, to help me physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
Namaste!

This place, These people, This time.
So much love given and received. Prayers of peace and reverence. Simple healing food, natural medicines, strong and purifying treatments (ghee anyone?)
Devotion all around with great care and love.
I became a child again, receiving the bath, body receiving deep and Thorough touch. A member of this great and beautiful natural world.
Receiving and hearing from the six seen swaying leaves, the tender sound of birds, the welcome breeze, a glimmer of morning sound are just the right words @ just the right moment. My mind remembers now how to let go rather than following the body. At last satsang wisdom, eyes shining, hands touching hearts and kindness smiles daily.
Receiving, receiving, receiving,
Thank you, life!
Deep appreciative love.
May all that Vaidyagrama family gives in such humility and love return to bless you all and all.

Thank you for the great, if challenging, experience. Thanks to all my doctors for their incredible patience, to all my sweet therapists, other staffs and to my fellow patients/inmates. You all made it an enjoyable stay. You know you’ve had treatment at Vaidyagrama when you - in spite of dreaming of the days of your escape for weeks and frequently fantasizing about running away and starting to find yourself getting increase in soul as the last days go by and you would (almost)be willing to drink more ghee to stay a little bit longer.

Vaidyagrama –a true healing place for the body and the soul. This was my first time here at Vaidyagrama and in India. After some difficulties at the beginning of my stay here, Vaidyagrama turned out to be a really good one. It was a healing for the body, and also for the mind. Thank you so much for making this place a home. It really does feel like that. Thank you for your good energy, for your smiles and for your knowledge. Thanks to all the staffs, therapists and a special thanks to my doctors Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr. Aruna, Dr. Soniya and Dr. Mini, your works are truly appreciated.

Dear Vaidyagrama team, thank you so much for another deeply rejuvenating stay here in this sacred sanctuary of healing - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I feel deeply renewed. Each meal that arrives sweetly in my room causes a wave of gratitude to arise for all the hands and heart that have placed this perfect food here for me. It seems that as Vaidyagrama grows, it's amazing identity, purity and loving atmosphere doesn't get diluted but gets strengthened. It's a gift to be part of this vision as it unfolds. And I am grateful to the garden which has not only flourished into the place of Magical beauty and spiritual nourishment, but also provided medicinal leaves for the potalis that were a part of my healing adventure. And thank you all for the profound and astonishing Pujas that have been held while I have been here. May you all be blessed. Doctors, Therapists, Gardeners, Cooks, Staff. You all uplift my heart.

It was “GRACE” that brought me to Vaidyagrama. I got a new lease of life and a new perspective of looking at life and myself. It was my sister who insisted I come here and gifted me this treatment. A gift I will always cherish. “GRACE” is what I sensed all around. As I came, we had the Navagraha poojas for 7 days. It was such an awesome experience to be in that energy field. I sailed through the Ghee treatment without any trouble, all thanks to Gods among us. Each and every one, the staff, the admin, all were so good and patient with me. And above all, the doctors were like precious gems each with their special value. Ever grateful to each one of them. My pranams and gratitude to Dr. Harikrishnan for not only treating me but also guiding me to energy from my own inner turmoil and darkness. It was a special experience and I look forward to coming again in Nov 2020. Thank you Vaidyagrama for sharing such a lovely healing experience with so many people. And the atmosphere here is so genuine and pure.

To everyone at Vaidyagrama,
I came here on faith really. I had no idea what to expect. Everything that I hoped to gain; personal insight, rest, better habits, self-knowledge, Ayurvedic knowledge, friends, it was all realised. What you all have done and are still doing is an example for the world to see how we can live more in harmony with our neighbours and our habitat and ourselves.
The body, the heart and the mind are all well-nourished here.
I look forward to returning one day and seeing how the landscape has grown and how the facility has expanded and benefits the community.

Dear Doctors, Staff of Vaidyagrama,
This place is truly inspirational for me and all of us that visit for some years. Now, I have dreamed of a healing sanctuary where I live in North Carolina and now I was able to visit here at Vaidyagrama that is a model for us all around the world.
I’m leaving with a lot of tears because of the immense love and care I have felt from you all and this special space/place you have created. One of the most touching aspects is to see the family that you all have made here and wish that we all feel that sense of family, love, devotion and commitment that is present at Vaidyagrama in our own homes’ workplace.
I can’t thank you enough for all the care I have felt during my treatment. I look forward to our paths crossing again wherever/whenever that is.

Such a beautiful healing environment. Humble, knowledgeable Doctors and loving therapists. I am so grateful for the many layers of healing I have received. I cannot believe a place with as much integrity and goodness exists in this world. I will be back again and again.
Thank you for protecting and practicing the beautiful art of science of Ayurveda. The food is wonderful. So many good friends were made.
One wish is that each bathroom would include a foot stool. The toilets are too high! We should be in proper ergonomic position while using toilet.

What an adventure this have been from not knowing of what panchakarma really meant, to going through the protocol and coming out the other end so to speak feeling so nurtured. I am grateful for all the peaceful moments, for the prayers, morning and night and the internal transformation that has taken place daily during my stay. The loving staff and support of all the workers (in whatever capacity) has been tremendous and the vibrations always positive has been duly noted as well as appreciated. I am also grateful to experience this ancient Vedic tradition which I was not so very familiar with and which my interest has been pacified. I can hardly wait to get home and read more about Ayurveda and find some delicious recipes. The Satsangs were so very appreciated and so much information was imparted to us all, so we had a better understanding of what/why we were doing. So much gratitude and feel for all the doctors, staffs and Dr. Ramkumar for holding the vision for this healing community. Thank you ever so much. I am already planning my next trip here. Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr. Aruna and Dr. Soniya, for all the love you send out return to you a thousand-fold.

It is truly wonderful that there is a place like Vaidyagrama. It provides healing both to the body and soul, tranquillity and last but not least hope. I am new to Ayurveda but I have heard from many more experienced guests here and admin that the approach here is most authentic in every detail. From treatments to diet, to walkways and schedule.
I am also highly impressed that it goes beyond healing individuals to healing the society by being at the actively involved in the community life.
Thanks to all doctors, team who provided treatment, everyone working here whom I may not have even seen, administrator for mailing.
The only thing that I missed was yoga with light stretching and breathing exercises that would not interfere with the treatment. I think it would be a great addition to daily routines.

Vaidyagrama is such an impressive place. It does not do what many institutions do, which shackle the imagination and make a stone of the heart. To the 200 or so people who work here (and good on you for providing so many jobs), a big thank you. Your daily solicitations have been more than I expected. Visits to my room- continuously bringing in gifts of food, water, caregiving. The architecture lends itself to good karma. So cool and shady and calm. The treatments themselves surprised me. Never have I had such experiences before. But they seem to work along with the diet of very bland but healthy food. I feel extremely detoxed for sure. You have a wonderful community here. Long may it live and thrive and expand. Thank you, Doctors, thank you therapists and all catering and cleaning and admin staffs.

What an unexpected bonus I have had giving company to my wife, Aruna Sairam and daughter Maitreyi Krishnaswamy at Vaidyagrama. Though not as a patient, I underwent treatment under the able advice and guidance of Dr. Harikrishnan. It was a 7 day oil massage and the eighth one included a steam bath. Felt totally tuned up to ideal state; physically, mentally and spiritually.
During the three weeks of my stay, I consumed much to my admiration every little detail of Vaidyagrama. The layout, the well planted herbal trees and plants giving a sense of wilderness and surrender to nature.
The Doctors; Harikrishnan, Vinod, Ardent, and Prameela were wonderful to interact with. The therapists Santhosh and Sooraj were extremely good. The staffs in charge of serving food and cleaning the rooms were all uniformly charming and service oriented.
The staff in the office be it Kavitha, Athira, Aparna etc were full of warmth.
It is said, money and machine can be easily managed but not MEN. Vaidyagrama to me is an exception. The men are also well managed.
Today we were taken all around Vaidyagrama by Sudishna and Varada in a SUV. The goshala, the new cluster in the making, the home for abandoned children and kitchen for the poor, for the villages, closely headed by Mr. Menon and of course the sanitary pad manufacturing section filled me with a sense of enormous happiness reducing me to a silent awe.
My wife and daughter have expressed that their health had taken a quantum leap towards cure.
What more I can expect.
GOD BLESS VAIDYAGRAMA!

My 28 days panchakarma is over. It is very difficult to summarize so many feelings to experience. It is gratitude and love. It is the remarkable improvements in my health and wellbeing. It is the lot of friends I made here. Thank you, Vaidyagrama for your Indian hospitality and nurturing warmth. For your patience and healing energy.
I have been to many ayurvedic hospitals and resorts and I know for sure, I found the best on the planet. Thank you, the team, Dr. Ramanandan, all doctors, Therapists, supporting staffs. They work with love and dedication. Special gratitude to Dr Ramkumar for his guidance and unforgettable satsangs. I feel very blessed to get to know you. I will miss you all.

In a world filled with extremes, ranging from stress, exhaustion, commitment to do more and illness, Vaidyagrama is an oasis of healing, spirituality and community. There are few pieces I have ever experienced this level of love, compassion, dedication and conviction to a mission of health and wellbeing. The staff, therapists, and Doctors work tirelessly on behalf of the patients to ensure we have a positive experience. I was unsure what to expect on my arrival here, but I am leaving filled with the knowledge and certainty that my life has been altered in some very important ways. The gift of slowing down and doing less is critical to wellbeing and everything at Vaidyagrama, supports this. I leave here feeling more rested, rejuvenated and committed to my own healing than any other time before. Thank you to all of the people who were part of this experience- you amazed me. From morning chanting to treatments to Satsangs- you deliver a well-rounded program that cannot help but heal those who are fortunate enough to come here.
Thank you, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Anupama and Dr. Ardent for your detailed and compassionate cure. It was a pleasure getting to know you all. Thank you to my wonderful therapists- Rincy, Aiswarya, Vaishnavi, Rachel, Shyni, Dhanya, and Devaki. You are all amazing!
I look forward to coming back and continuing this journey with all of you.
Thank you.

Thank you for a wonderful experience, the love and commitment, I have received here has been amazing.
Thank you for your time and patience with me. I haven’t found the mosquitos very easy and have not been able to eat much of the food, but I felt you tried to accommodate me. Dr. Ramadas is truly a Saint! So kind. Thank you, with much love. And thank you to all the other doctors, therapists, cleaners, gardeners and all who work behind the scenes. Vinita stood out for me, truly a graceful and empathetic lady. I felt she really cared for people. Keep up the good work Vaidyagrama. Blessings be to the children’s home and blessings be to you all.
I am with you and you are with me as we walk the road together.

Vaidyagrama, the healing village is a truly unique place and my three weeks here has been a life changing experience. The ambience with surrounding trees and singing birds makes it so very special. The days begin with prayers and concludes with the reciting of powerful ‘Lalitha Sahasranamam’. In between are the treatments and Satsangs. The Satsangs were so informative and thought provoking.
The treatment segments i left it from the hands of Doctors. The team of Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Ardent, Dr. Anupama, and Dr. Vinod was friendly, full of knowledge, competent and caring. The team consulted the other fellow doctor for input. I cherished this; I got the best care. The care and attention from the therapists were excellent, friendly and timely.
I greatly appreciate the Tridoshic approach for treatment and healing. A great big thanks for caring me.

I extend my deepest gratitude to Vaidyagrama; from my first contact with Aparna to the entire staff, I have received only kindness and support. The level of treatment and education was excellent and life changing. I can’t thank you enough for what you have given me.
Now, I am fully prepared to live a happy healthy life which hopefully will include many more visits to this wonderful place.
My one suggestion is that all employees (especially the ones giving treatment, handling food etc) have training and strict guidelines to protect the health of the patient when the employee is sick. It’s great to pray before treatment for the patient’s wellbeing but it’s equally important to wash hands and wear protective masks etc. This area could use improvement and supervision.
I wish I could list the names of everyone who helped me but it would fill an entire book! Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Vasudevan, Dr. Sajna, Dr. Aruna (who met me upon arrival), Kavitha, Aparna, Dr Ramkumar, the girls in reception, sudishna, sunitha(pharmacy), Dr. Vinod, the lovely woman who cleaned my room, you all remain in my heart.
Wishing you healthy happiness,

Thank you all for your wonderful hospitality and care given during our stay. All staff were very helpful and it was great to see them do their work with so much commitment and humility. I feel thoroughly important following the treatments and learnt many new things in regards to Ayurveda and general wellbeing. Though I found the lack of activity a challenge in the beginning, I have now realised how much unnecessary energy I was expending in actions that was not really adding in value to my well- being. It is towards the end of the visit that I feel 7days was too short and I look forward for visiting again for 3 week program.
Thank you all once again.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Hi, I am Sayaka Oka. I was staying in 105, I am teaching Ayurveda and Yoga in Tokyo, JP. My Guruji, Myra Lewin introduced me to this wonderful place and Dr Ramadas. I came here to experience the traditional treatment of Ayurveda, panchakarma. Thank you for being able to learn a lot of Indian tradition such as Pooja, satsang, Ayurvedic food, herbs and to meet various friends!
I really hope to come back to this wonderful home, Vaidyagrama soon. See you again.

Deep gratitude to all at Vaidyagrama, for creating such a peaceful and healing environment. What a beautiful way to finish my first visit to India. I feel especially nourished by the daily chanting at morning and evening prayers, the wonderful Yoga Nidra classes and visits to nearby Dhanwantari temple. It is also a joy to hear the wind moving through the trees and herbs here and to sleep nestled inside the mosquito net. So many lovely scents and sounds and new friends I will treasure. I feel blessed by my time here and smile to them to all those who will enjoy this space in the months and years to come.

The chief Dr. Ramadas met us and took our medical history and problems. We stayed for 3 weeks. During our stay we were well taken care by the doctors and staffs. We were given treatment which included oil massages. This is something we looked forward and enjoyed it. There were also activities like the satsang by doctors and Vedic talks. All Doctors, Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Sajna, the therapists and helpers were helpful and always performed their duties with a smile.
Vaidyagrama is a beautiful place, with well laid out bungalows, away from the madding crowd. It is idyllic, serene and quiet. Besides Ayurveda treatment, it is good for anyone who wish to have a detox or a retreat. We would say our stay is a celebration and we are on the road to recovery.

Dear Doctors and Staff,
Thank you very much for taking care of my son and me. This was the 2nd time we were here. All the doctors and staff are friendly and caring. We thank you, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Ardent and Dr. Mini for the great care. Special thanks to Dr. Ardent for taking special care of my son during his ghee treatment. For treating him like a younger brother even when my son gave you stern look.
Even though this time my son did not get as much relief as last time, we have an insight into his illness. Thanks to Dr. Ramkumar for suggesting Astrologer.
Thank you for making last minute accommodation for us Aparnaji.

Being in Vaidyagrama for the fourth time, it was like come back home. It was like a retreat this time. Getting the chance to look at my inner world and, by chanting the prayers and the satsangs, to better understanding of the Hindu approach to the Universe, Hindu philosophy and religion, the connection between the world of Gods, of mankind and of the animals. I felt very well treated again by Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Soniya, Dr. Aruna and Dr. Sreeji and the therapists and I am deeply thankful to all of you. I liked the opportunity to get in contact with some of the patients. And I deeply respect the enormous endeavour of Geetha for the people living in the surrounding villages of her and all of you, to feed this hungry old ones and to look after the young ones and giving them the opportunity to go school and get the leaders of tomorrow. I hope to be able to continue this process of new insights. And coming back next year.

Deciding to come to Vaidyagrama was a perfect holiday gift I gave myself, a gift of presence being present with the body and mind.
Thanks to the fabulous team of doctors, therapists and the entire staff who comprehend responsibility, work restlessly, give cheerfully and practice accountability with utmost devotion and respect.
As I celebrate and honour this journey today, I humbly bow with the deepest gratitude to everyone here who has been a part of our healing journey.
We look forward to visiting Vaidyagrama next year.
Thank You all once again for all the care, support and healing energy.
Special thanks to all the doctors who presented during the satsangs. They were informative and very enlighten.

Margi and I leave tomorrow. This is our second visit since Feb- Mar 2019 .The morning and evening prayer atmosphere here, physical layout, location away from all hustle/bustle (meaning quiet and no distractions) in addition to care and healing, regular attention to patients attached us back. The environmental awareness and the self-sustaining concepts are at work here- that is an added plus. We must thank Dr. Ramanandan ji, Dr. Vinod ji and the entire staff consisting of all therapists, laundry, housekeeping, IT, reception, accounting and pharmacy.
We wish continued growth to Vaidyagrama as they add new clusters.

Thanks for the kind attention during my Laghu Virechana. I had only 9 days, but the staff and also the doctors were really attentive and caring.
There was a little bit of noise due to the construction of new block but it was understandable.

To the Vaidyagrama family,
I don’t have words enough to express my gratitude towards each one of you here be it doctors, therapist, cleaning staff, kitchen staff, for the people in back office and reception.
Truly understood what it means to live a life full of humility, compassion, love, care and devotion and not just praise it.
I’m taking back so many life lessons back with me although my stay here was only eight days.
Lent the most valuable lesson of pulling oneself on the top of priority list and spreading the message of positivity.
I really hope I am able to carry forward some of my learnings is not all as I go back into the real world.
Thank you all once again from the bottom of my heart and hope to see you all again.

Dr Ramadas, and each and every doctors of Vaidyagrama has a healing hands and heart.
Thank you so much for giving me the mental and spiritual peace and strength. The kind of physical and mental peace experienced in last three weeks, I have never experienced before
Every person of Vaidyagrama staff has a positive smile on their faces.
I have learnt so much in this three weeks and I hope to spread some of this positivity within myself and around me.

Waking up at dawn with the sounds of birds, cows, cats, wind among the trees, leaves, I felt at peace and at home at Vaidyagrama and I am sad to leave. My therapist, lovely, gentle, smart, Vidya and others, served me my kashayam and saluted me with smiling faces always. Doctors took their time with me and I see in their eyes the genuine interest for the things I tell, a sincere effort to get to know me and for sure love. My room cleaning lady Shenbhagam came every morning with buckets of lemon grass smelling cleaning agents and we chatted about this and that as she cleaned my rooms spotless. Oh! I am impressed how everyone communicate in english. I was able to convey my message every time I needed to. I felt loved and cared for here. Dr. Aruna, Dr. Soniya, Dr. Sreeji checked in with me three times a day. Dr. Harikrishnan invoked trust in my heart, not only for ayurveda as a system but to entire humanity because in their efforts and personalities what we, humans were made out of originally goodness and light.
I am leaving with a touch of sadness in my heart as I already feel like part of a big family. But at the same time, I know that I will take them with me their love and care good memories, laughter and healing will travel through space in my heart. Like all families I know they will be there for me in times of need and I will surely come back again.
Much love and many greetings

A place where one is able to rest and reset, listening to the song of unknown birds, the wings of butterflies and heartfelt mornings and entering prayers..
Where there is time for watching the trees grow, the insects meditate or carry on with their duties.
A place where mosquitoes and cockroaches are befriended, as much as frogs and geckos.
Where we are so kindly and dedicatedly taken care of it is almost like being an infant again, in the hands of the grant mother.
With sleep gratitude to an extraordinary team of people, who made us rest and ready to nurture and give it back to the world in due time.
May the spirit of Vaidyagrama remain unspoiled.

Overall, another excellent experience at the healing village. Sure to come back.
Doctors=Excellent
Assistant Doctors=Marvellous
Therapists=Attentive & Gentle
Housekeeping=Absolute pristine cleanliness
Floor staff=Very friendly and attentive
Suggestions
1. Music in therapy needs to be toned down. Whole complex starts buzzing with unnecessary "noise".
2. Quality of music could improve. Not all flutes and chanting are pleasant to ears.
3. Some of the guest are no help either in terms of noise.
My very best to the entire Punarnava/Vaidyagrama family in sustaining this noble initiative. May the spirit of it continue and be blessed by the benevolent deities.
Jai Sri Ram!!

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
It has been such a blessing and a privilege to have spent 21 days in a very special healing village amongst a team that makes us all feel special and loved. This is a place where people are happy. I loved the morning and evening prayers and the satsangs were truly educational and inspiring. I enjoyed the food and it was always a happy moment when the food would arrive.
It was wonderful to learn more about the history and philosophy of VG. I was very touched to hear about how you are not only looking after patients but also the wider community. This place feels very special and sacred. The purity of heart and authenticity runs very deep here.
I would also like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Ramadas, for his devotion not only to his patients but also to the prayers and satsangs.
And of course a big thank you to the Doctors, office staff, therapists, cooks, cleaners and everyone who contributes to making VG the special place it is. I will definitely be back.
I thank you Dr. Sajna for your warmth and dedication.

I wish to thank Dr. Harikrishnan and team for the dedicated service provided to me and my sister during the treatment days. I highly appreciate the team of therapist crew who did their best for the treatment, as well as the serving of medicines and food in timely manner.
Finally I am very much thankful to the founders Of Vaidyagrama choosing their region in Tamilnadu and it is really a gift to the State of Tamilnadu as most of the Ayurvedic centres are in the state of Kerala. Vaidyagrama is a crown for this region.
My special thanks to Dr. Ardent who share his ideas and given me tips of Ayurvedic treatments

As my wife Lakshmi and I leave Vaidyagrama after a 2 weeks stay. Happily it has been a very satisfying experience and of course deep from Kerala, we felt at home speaking in Malayalam which itself give us a feeling of kinship. The accommodation facilities were comfortable and functions without an air conditioning unit. You are in the various treatments prescribed for you from morning to evening. In particular, the doctors took special particular care and attend to promptly to your every query. The environment was indeed natural. Chanting and the architecture merged well with it. All in all, we enjoyed thoroughly our experience and we look forward to coming back soon. Hope the centre gets to be more popular and many others will benefit from it.
