Thank You everyone at Vaidyagrama and especially those who worked in the block where I stayed. It is a privilege to have had the opportunity to come here and be cared for by a most generous, upright organisation Dr Anupama helped me with her calm and knowledgeable presence when. I became acutely ill on the first day of arrival. It was like being home, unwell and even though we were in a new place we recovered quickly, feeling safe and trusting ourselves in the hands of the team here. This experience brought about a shift in my ability to surrender to greater universal logic/powers, something I had been struggling to do. Reading the notes from Vaidyagrama on how tips to staff should be handed, policies on emergency funds made me even more confident to be open to receiving advice and care and come from a place of trust . I am certainly carrying this with me with conviction to withstand instances I will definitely come across when living in the corporate capitalistic world when this trust is inevitably put to the test. The other profound shift was to find other patients in the block who were kind, friendly and in just a few days treated us like family . Many others helped me with caring for my child, befriending him, playing and singing with him. Despite being the only child in the block he was fully engaged throughout the 7 days here and is taking back beautiful memories of the place and people.
Lastly, I feel proud to be a patient here even more after listening about the community work – farming, daily meals for the surrounding village, sanitary pad project, medical camps, cow shed, construction/ housing project . Thank you very much to Dr Anupama’s husband gave us a detailed tour and passionately spoke about this work.
Many thanks to Dr Om, Dr Anjali, Dr Shobiha, Bhavya, Abhirami and all others who cared for us and gave their attention and efforts smilingly and generously .
Happy New Year. All the best for 2024 and beyond,
With regards

This was an amazing place that is absolutely life-changing. As a 20-year-old, it was a completely different environment to live in. The Doctor's therapist staff and other patients are so warm and friendly. It makes you feel comfortable and at home. The treatments were extremely effective as well. I am leaving here very sad to be saying Goodbye to Vaidyagrama and the whole Vaidyagrama community. But I am taking extremely fond memories will be coming back very soon

I have learned so much here. I'll wait. A has had a beautiful effect on me. I wake up with a positive energy with birds chirping and peacocks peeking. The doctors here have made us feel very comfortable and at home. The staff has also been extremely hospitable and warm. Everything is very clean here, even though the food is simple, it's very tasty. The lectures would have been very impactful, they have left an indelible mark on me. I am definitely planning to visit again

To all doctors, Sevadharis
I had a wonderful experience, I am so blessed. I got the opportunity to come here, and I gave gratitude to my daughter Prachi for the same, I really had a wonderful time. Everyone is so nice, kind and helpful. Really enjoyed all Puja chanting and talks, it was amazing to see so many people from different parts of the world. I am looking forward to coming back again and bringing more friends with me. I wish Vaidyagrama more success.
I made so many new friends and I feel I have a new family and really don't want to go back.
Suggestions: Communication at the front office has to be improved. A brief idea of changes should be given ahead of time. Copy of talk to be given or distributed to everyone. There should be soap to wash hands in the bathroom. Also, enema room has lots of mosquitoes and it is hard to sit and concentrate near the Mandapam area which needs to be taken care of.
Prints out of Vishnu Sahasranama and Lalita stotrams should be kept in the room where we do Pooja, so everyone can pick up paper and read with the priest. As sometimes not able to connect to the phone and when leaving everyone can leave paper back in the basket.
I will miss my other home.

Thanks a lot for all the pick and little things that made my stay at Vitamin A incredible. The doctors were knowledgeable patients and cared about my well-being thanks, Dr Ramanandan, Dr Sisira, Dr Sreeji and Dr Dhanya always adjusting the medicines and checking on me. All the therapists and staff were very kind and professional. They really helped introduce me to Ayurveda treatments in the best possible way. These 21 days felt much shorter and the same time. I feel like I have been here forever then till next time

Thank you to the entire team at Vaidyagrama for creating such a lovely surrounding for healing both physically and spiritually.
I came looking for rejuvenation and am leaving feeling it . I had to expectation, only two previous panchkarma experiences in Kerala . My visit here has been the best visit integrated and thoughtful and really the best.
The kindness and wisdom of Dr Om and his team, Dr Anjali, Dr Anupama are a beautiful camp presence that gently guided me to accept the changes I need to make and to understand . I am so grateful.
The therapists, Hema, Anu, Ramani, Indu, Abhirami Were all wonderful and incredibly caring and personal while still taking care of us as patients. Their skill is greatly appreciated lastly by the community, both my fellow patients and the team here made me feel welcome and a family . See you next year !!

I am grateful to Vaidyagrama for bringing some change in me within 21 days of my stay here. I don’t know whether I am going to retain this change for ever, however, the memories of me being treated here by the team of Dr Ramanandan, Dr Om, Dr Anupama, Dr Anjali,and therapists Sateesh and Ratheesh will definitely remain forever.
It was a tough decision for me to come here because of distance and economics. Nevertheless, the care and support I received from each individual right from Malika and Viraj, the cleaning staff to the top grass of the organisation, made my visit worthwhile.
Tomorrow morning, I am going but I hope I might respond well when I contact Drs. Of Vaidyagrama in time of need. I pray for the wellbeing of all at Vaidyagrama. I am proud of you all!!
I am thankful to you all!!
Salute to your profession is entrenched yet in classical Ayurveda!!!

Thank you Vaidyagrama!!
I thank each therapist! We accumulate our problems, and you work on them. The smiles, the conviction, the humility that you all work with are commended.
I thank each one involved in cooking and medicine preparation. You all prepare our edibles to every ayurvedic specification which helped me on my healing journey!!
I thank each one in housekeeping, you treat us like queens and kings, I bow down to your humility and work ethics!
I thank each one in the admin department and front desk! However I reached out to you, your coolness and meticulous responses grounded me.
I thank each one involved in natural care. Agriculture, Animal husbandry, I felt that each of the natural components is in its natural place!
I thank the priests! Experienced a devine calmness during each pooja, daily as well as special prayers. I felt that these priests and pooja’s created a healing atmosphere for everyone here!
I thank the construction workers on the campus. They seem to have absorbed the Vaidyagrama culture and work silently in tune with the overall atmosphere!
I thank nature’s every component in Vaidyagrama to help me align myself on the healing path.
I thank each and every doctor here for helping me understand my health, with your loving caring smiles and daily consultations!
I thank the visionaries and the directors, and volunteers for having this concept running in 3D, called “Vaidyagrama.”
Few Suggestions:
1. The morning and evening prayers can be chanted in a more rhythmic and melodic way. These also can be taken as an opportunity to teach a few chants to the patients.
2. Electricity and water usage can be controlled in a better way to bring awareness to everyone for their overuse!
Thank you!!

Someone suggested that I visit Vaidyagrama for a few days.We stayed here for 10 days. We enjoyed our stay here very much. Treatment given by vaidyagrama was very effective. Both of me and my wife have got relief from most of our ailments. Our Doctor Vishaga is a thoroughly gentle lady . She was very cooperative and caring during our stay here. Only because of her we are planning to come again for a longer stay. We are very thankful to all the subordinate staff for the service they provided to us.

My Memory of panchakarma was when I was sixteen years old – the first time I had done it. It was one of Pain and fear and many times doing it later remind me. Vaidyagrama changed it completely. The Doctors care, rituals, satsang and even the congee will be beautiful memories I will cherish. The treatments though were rigorous only gave me portion of concerns, but the institution set me on path of patience to keep working to fine balance. The Doctors are the best part. Dr.Vishaga especially was very attentive, caring and diligent with the daily follow ups. She listened, helped and kept me on a treatment plan as needed. When my mother’s pulse dropped she came by to check every hour. Her care was so touching that I think a tear or two escaped on eyes when we bid her goodbye. As that person who lives by her passport, jet setting I’ve found it hard to revisit places But I find myself thinking it impossible not to return her. Thank you for everything, see you soon again.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
I was very excited coming back after 4 years- covid break – to this authentic place feels of life and love. Immediately I felt very welcomed by the silence and loving smile when I was received by Dr Renjisha- she was my doctor all the time, warm hearted, professional, and patient. So were all the others here- doctors, therapists, support system, reservation and office. Dr Ramadas gave a lot of affection to my age up body and willingness to know me from the past 3 years of treatment before covid. So, I can go back with less pain, more flexibility in my body, mind, and strengthen my soul also.
I am very grateful for the deep spirituality and life here in Vaidyagrama, evident from all the poojas, prayers, and Satsang as well within people living and working here with a smile and open heart.
Thanks to Dr Ramkumar for making the pooja for my passed away mother Elizabeth and very sick relatives possible – souls and relief for me and special experience on different flowers. I was living here moving on the terrace. So the whole process were accompanied by the singing of the birds, the murmuring of the winds and the music coming from the treatment rooms. I was feeling very nurtured not only from the multiple herbs from the personnel caring but also through the surrounding nature and noises.
Thank you for all of this I could receive and give here.

My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better start to our year. It has been an absolutely blissful two weeks since we arrived on the 26th of December 23.
My deepest gratitude and pranam to all the visionaries who have created this oasis of peace, tranquillity and serenity.
Vaidyagrama is like a soothing balm to the over used and abused senses. It is a safe cocoon to which one can retreat to heal, rest and rejuvenate under the gentle and expert care of doctors, therapists and other staff.
The space and the daily routine are so thoughtfully designed to give you ample time, space and energy to reconnect with yourself and to something higher than yourself. The unhurried pace of life bookended with prayers at 6.15 am and pm is beautiful.
Our gratitude to Dr Ramanandan for his calm presence and guidance. Dr Suvedha for her ever smiling and caring consultation and all the therapists for ensuring we were well taken care of at all times. Will miss the birds, the trees, quiet of this place and the daily satsangs with the doctors.
Hope to see you all again.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
I have learned a lot here, all doctors and nurses were so friendly, caring, and affectionate towards us. So, treatment-wise, giving proper consultants, identifying the core issue, and giving treatment and care towards that problem is very effective and I liked that very much. I am feeling good now. So, thank you all for this fabulous and healthy opportunity. Special thanks to Dr Ramdas and Dr Om Prakash also I would like to give my special thanks to Dr Anupama and Dr Anjali mam also.
I am going home now with full satisfaction, and I am happy that I could do what I intended to do a long time ago. Thank you all!

VAIDYAGRAMA has been a wonderful experience for my mother and me. The entire team – Therapists, kitchen team, Housekeeping, Doctors treated us as a part of the Vaidyagrama family.
Dr Om Prakash- His infectious energy
Dr Anjali – Her charming demeanour
Dr Anupama- Her lovely smile and always approachable
Taught us that healing can be experienced with lots of love, kindness, and gratitude.
Dr Ramdas- Not only does he take care of our health but shows us how body, mind, and soul are connected. We cherish the long soulful conversation we have had with him. The effort taken to ensure that we are engaged in activities from the spiritual, knowledge, social angle was very heartwarming.
Vaidyagrama- With its prayers, meditation, Satvik food, no outside stimulus is a culture we have experienced, and we go back with a healthy mind, body, and soul.
WE WILL MISS VAIDYAGRAMA AND LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING HERE AGAIN

I've been coming here annually Since 2015 except for 1 year - Covid restrictions.
I typically come for my christmas - Vaidyagrama
I'm considered healthy and I am and have to do my part to continue in that.
Vaidyagrama is an integral aspect of my health and happiness, contentment journey. I’m grateful I can return here to process them and let go of the accumulated toxins and prepare for a new year, a new beginning. The organisation from top to bottom here is well thought of and adaptive for processing changes. The staff from doctors, business officials and therapists, and house cleaning are exemplary. The happy, caring, friendly atmosphere is 50% of healing. The beautiful therapists remind us of the simple joy of being alive in service unspoiled and good. .
It's as wondrous as the natural medicinal herbal treatments. I'll be returning as long as my almost 80 year old body can make the travel here possible. With ayurveda, Vaidyagrama and simple practices learned here that may be considerable years ahead. I have came to realise that we are all healers, all who find themselves here, meeting and exchanging the heart of being a human being realising for a moment

My entry to Vaidyagrama was full of self-doubt about whether I will be able to survive 3 weeks without TV, coffee and work. All the doubt and fears were displaced from day 1. The omnipresent Dr Om, smiling Dr Anupama and Dr Anjali who were almost all the time with me, explaining the treatment and medicines. Special thanks to the Doctors. Thanks to my therapists Satesh and Ratheesh for the proper care given to me during the treatment session.
Thanks to all the housekeeping, Dining, and laundry staff. Most importantly the Satsang were vital knowledge about our body and its functions by various doctors. Thanks a lot for improving my HEALTH.

My husband Viney and I have been here for 14 days and have enjoyed our experience here at vaidyagrama. Our physician DRr Ramanandan and his dedicated young associates Dr Suvedha and Dr Arun are wise, gentle and knowledgeable and we have greatly benefited from their care and treatment here.
All, in our team of young therapists, have been well trained and very responsible in their well-planned schedules. I have also enjoyed the afternoon talks with the other members of the medical team. It has indeed expanded my understanding on the connected benefits of all our old values and health systems
The simple meals served here are also appreciated- they are planned well to help with our medical healing process.
The tranquillity of this medical centre, outside the city life, contributed to a very soothing and relaxing rejuvenation of both our physical and mental well-being.

There are no words in English that can adequately describe the importance and value of the work that is being done at vaidyagrama. What a privilege and joy it is to come back here and see this community continue to flourish and grow. It is the positive sign that the direction we are following is alive and well and that given efforts are recognized and that a source of healing emerges for patients, the community and the world.
And of course to say thank you to the gentle and loving care of the team from Aparna in the booking office to Anisha who came evening, night to give the massage, together with the team and all the others working with Dr Ramadas, Dr Aparna and Dr Vinod - your consideration + dedication is extraordinary. And thank you also for the extraordinary care of my friends Stephen, Claudine and Erick. I will come back soon with more friends and keep spreading ayurveda.

This is my fourth visit to Vaidyagrama. I return because of the healing atmosphere, and willingness to teach & explain that helps me deal with my health issues better - it has improved the quality of my life and I shall return. One suggestion I do have - is the staff needs to have a better command of English/Hindi this will greatly enhance the positive feeling people like me already have.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
Thank you, sir, for such a restful and supported 21-day retreat from the business of life. Vaidyagrama is a true gem, authentic Ayurveda at its best, entirely due to the wonderful team of doctors, therapists and other staff most especially the kitchen team producing beautiful, sattvic food in tiffin after tiffin. I especially enjoyed the afternoon talks. Ayurveda is endlessly fascinating. So big thank you to Dr Ramadas, Dr Renjisha Dr Vinod, Manju, Karthika Unnimaya and the whole team. Your work is so needed and appreciated.
May all be happy and healthy!!

Could cleaners have towels replace ones on the floor as getting a clean towel was not so straightforward.
Could people with their own SIM cards be asked to make calls quickly and respectfully as I had to listen to so many noisy conversations from my balcony.

Thank You everyone at Vaidyagrama and especially those who worked in the block where I stayed. It is a privilege to have had the opportunity to come here and be cared for by a most generous, upright organisation Dr Anupama helped me with her calm and knowledgeable presence when. I became acutely ill on the first day of arrival. It was like being home, unwell and even though we were in a new place we recovered quickly, feeling safe and trusting ourselves in the hands of the team here. This experience brought about a shift in my ability to surrender to greater universal logic/powers, something I had been struggling to do. Reading the notes from Vaidyagrama on how tips to staff should be handed, policies on emergency funds made me even more confident to be open to receiving advice and care and come from a place of trust . I am certainly carrying this with me with conviction to withstand instances I will definitely come across when living in the corporate capitalistic world when this trust is inevitably put to the test. The other profound shift was to find other patients in the block who were kind, friendly and in just a few days treated us like family . Many others helped me with caring for my child, befriending him, playing and singing with him. Despite being the only child in the block he was fully engaged throughout the 7 days here and is taking back beautiful memories of the place and people.
Lastly, I feel proud to be a patient here even more after listening about the community work – farming, daily meals for the surrounding village, sanitary pad project, medical camps, cow shed, construction/ housing project . Thank you very much to Dr Anupama’s husband gave us a detailed tour and passionately spoke about this work.
Many thanks to Dr Om, Dr Anjali, Dr Shobiha, Bhavya, Abhirami and all others who cared for us and gave their attention and efforts smilingly and generously .
Happy New Year. All the best for 2024 and beyond,
With regards

I made so many new friends and I feel I have a new family and really don't want to go back.
Suggestions: Communication at the front office has to be improved. A brief idea of changes should be given ahead of time. Copy of talk to be given or distributed to everyone. There should be soap to wash hands in the bathroom. Also, enema room has lots of mosquitoes and it is hard to sit and concentrate near the Mandapam area which needs to be taken care of.
Prints out of Vishnu Sahasranama and Lalita stotrams should be kept in the room where we do Pooja, so everyone can pick up paper and read with the priest. As sometimes not able to connect to the phone and when leaving everyone can leave paper back in the basket.
I will miss my other home.

Thanks a lot for all the pick and little things that made my stay at Vitamin A incredible. The doctors were knowledgeable patients and cared about my well-being thanks, Dr Ramanandan, Dr Sisira, Dr Sreeji and Dr Dhanya always adjusting the medicines and checking on me. All the therapists and staff were very kind and professional. They really helped introduce me to Ayurveda treatments in the best possible way. These 21 days felt much shorter and the same time. I feel like I have been here forever then till next time

Thank you to the entire team at Vaidyagrama for creating such a lovely surrounding for healing both physically and spiritually.
I came looking for rejuvenation and am leaving feeling it . I had to expectation, only two previous panchkarma experiences in Kerala . My visit here has been the best visit integrated and thoughtful and really the best.
The kindness and wisdom of Dr Om and his team, Dr Anjali, Dr Anupama are a beautiful camp presence that gently guided me to accept the changes I need to make and to understand . I am so grateful.
The therapists, Hema, Anu, Ramani, Indu, Abhirami Were all wonderful and incredibly caring and personal while still taking care of us as patients. Their skill is greatly appreciated lastly by the community, both my fellow patients and the team here made me feel welcome and a family . See you next year !!

I am grateful to Vaidyagrama for bringing some change in me within 21 days of my stay here. I don’t know whether I am going to retain this change for ever, however, the memories of me being treated here by the team of Dr Ramanandan, Dr Om, Dr Anupama, Dr Anjali,and therapists Sateesh and Ratheesh will definitely remain forever.
It was a tough decision for me to come here because of distance and economics. Nevertheless, the care and support I received from each individual right from Malika and Viraj, the cleaning staff to the top grass of the organisation, made my visit worthwhile.
Tomorrow morning, I am going but I hope I might respond well when I contact Drs. Of Vaidyagrama in time of need. I pray for the wellbeing of all at Vaidyagrama. I am proud of you all!!
I am thankful to you all!!
Salute to your profession is entrenched yet in classical Ayurveda!!!
Warm regards,

Thank you Vaidyagrama!!
I thank each therapist! We accumulate our problems, and you work on them. The smiles, the conviction, the humility that you all work with are commended.
I thank each one involved in cooking and medicine preparation. You all prepare our edibles to every ayurvedic specification which helped me on my healing journey!!
I thank each one in housekeeping, you treat us like queens and kings, I bow down to your humility and work ethics!
I thank each one in the admin department and front desk! However I reached out to you, your coolness and meticulous responses grounded me.
I thank each one involved in natural care. Agriculture, Animal husbandry, I felt that each of the natural components is in its natural place!
I thank the priests! Experienced a devine calmness during each pooja, daily as well as special prayers. I felt that these priests and pooja’s created a healing atmosphere for everyone here!
I thank the construction workers on the campus. They seem to have absorbed the Vaidyagrama culture and work silently in tune with the overall atmosphere!
I thank nature’s every component in Vaidyagrama to help me align myself on the healing path.
I thank each and every doctor here for helping me understand my health, with your loving caring smiles and daily consultations!
I thank the visionaries and the directors, and volunteers for having this concept running in 3D, called “Vaidyagrama.”
Few Suggestions:
1. The morning and evening prayers can be chanted in a more rhythmic and melodic way. These also can be taken as an opportunity to teach a few chants to the patients.
2. Electricity and water usage can be controlled in a better way to bring awareness to everyone for their overuse!
Thank you!!

Someone suggested that I visit Vaidyagrama for a few days.We stayed here for 10 days. We enjoyed our stay here very much. Treatment given by vaidyagrama was very effective. Both of me and my wife have got relief from most of our ailments. Our Doctor Vishaga is a thoroughly gentle lady . She was very cooperative and caring during our stay here. Only because of her we are planning to come again for a longer stay. We are very thankful to all the subordinate staff for the service they provided to us.

My Memory of panchakarma was when I was sixteen years old – the first time I had done it. It was one of Pain and fear and many times doing it later remind me. Vaidyagrama changed it completely. The Doctors care, rituals, satsang and even the congee will be beautiful memories I will cherish. The treatments though were rigorous only gave me portion of concerns, but the institution set me on path of patience to keep working to fine balance. The Doctors are the best part. Dr.Vishaga especially was very attentive, caring and diligent with the daily follow ups. She listened, helped and kept me on a treatment plan as needed. When my mother’s pulse dropped she came by to check every hour. Her care was so touching that I think a tear or two escaped on eyes when we bid her goodbye. As that person who lives by her passport, jet setting I’ve found it hard to revisit places But I find myself thinking it impossible not to return her. Thank you for everything, see you soon again.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
I was very excited coming back after 4 years- covid break – to this authentic place feels of life and love. Immediately I felt very welcomed by the silence and loving smile when I was received by Dr Renjisha- she was my doctor all the time, warm hearted, professional, and patient. So were all the others here- doctors, therapists, support system, reservation and office. Dr Ramadas gave a lot of affection to my age up body and willingness to know me from the past 3 years of treatment before covid. So, I can go back with less pain, more flexibility in my body, mind, and strengthen my soul also.
I am very grateful for the deep spirituality and life here in Vaidyagrama, evident from all the poojas, prayers, and Satsang as well within people living and working here with a smile and open heart.
Thanks to Dr Ramkumar for making the pooja for my passed away mother Elizabeth and very sick relatives possible – souls and relief for me and special experience on different flowers. I was living here moving on the terrace. So the whole process were accompanied by the singing of the birds, the murmuring of the winds and the music coming from the treatment rooms. I was feeling very nurtured not only from the multiple herbs from the personnel caring but also through the surrounding nature and noises.
Thank you for all of this I could receive and give here.

My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better start to our year. It has been an absolutely blissful two weeks since we arrived on the 26th of December 23.
My deepest gratitude and pranam to all the visionaries who have created this oasis of peace, tranquillity and serenity.
Vaidyagrama is like a soothing balm to the over used and abused senses. It is a safe cocoon to which one can retreat to heal, rest and rejuvenate under the gentle and expert care of doctors, therapists and other staff.
The space and the daily routine are so thoughtfully designed to give you ample time, space and energy to reconnect with yourself and to something higher than yourself. The unhurried pace of life bookended with prayers at 6.15 am and pm is beautiful.
Our gratitude to Dr Ramanandan for his calm presence and guidance. Dr Suvedha for her ever smiling and caring consultation and all the therapists for ensuring we were well taken care of at all times. Will miss the birds, the trees, quiet of this place and the daily satsangs with the doctors.
Hope to see you all again.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
I have learned a lot here, all doctors and nurses were so friendly, caring, and affectionate towards us. So, treatment-wise, giving proper consultants, identifying the core issue, and giving treatment and care towards that problem is very effective and I liked that very much. I am feeling good now. So, thank you all for this fabulous and healthy opportunity. Special thanks to Dr Ramdas and Dr Om Prakash also I would like to give my special thanks to Dr Anupama and Dr Anjali mam also.
I am going home now with full satisfaction, and I am happy that I could do what I intended to do a long time ago. Thank you all!

VAIDYAGRAMA has been a wonderful experience for my mother and me. The entire team – Therapists, kitchen team, Housekeeping, Doctors treated us as a part of the Vaidyagrama family.
Dr Om Prakash- His infectious energy
Dr Anjali – Her charming demeanour
Dr Anupama- Her lovely smile and always approachable
Taught us that healing can be experienced with lots of love, kindness, and gratitude.
Dr Ramdas- Not only does he take care of our health but shows us how body, mind, and soul are connected. We cherish the long soulful conversation we have had with him. The effort taken to ensure that we are engaged in activities from the spiritual, knowledge, social angle was very heartwarming.
Vaidyagrama- With its prayers, meditation, Satvik food, no outside stimulus is a culture we have experienced, and we go back with a healthy mind, body, and soul.
WE WILL MISS VAIDYAGRAMA AND LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING HERE AGAIN

I've been coming here annually Since 2015 except for 1 year - Covid restrictions.
I typically come for my christmas - Vaidyagrama
I'm considered healthy and I am and have to do my part to continue in that.
Vaidyagrama is an integral aspect of my health and happiness, contentment journey. I’m grateful I can return here to process them and let go of the accumulated toxins and prepare for a new year, a new beginning. The organisation from top to bottom here is well thought of and adaptive for processing changes. The staff from doctors, business officials and therapists, and house cleaning are exemplary. The happy, caring, friendly atmosphere is 50% of healing. The beautiful therapists remind us of the simple joy of being alive in service unspoiled and good. .
It's as wondrous as the natural medicinal herbal treatments. I'll be returning as long as my almost 80 year old body can make the travel here possible. With ayurveda, Vaidyagrama and simple practices learned here that may be considerable years ahead. I have came to realise that we are all healers, all who find themselves here, meeting and exchanging the heart of being a human being realising for a moment

My entry to Vaidyagrama was full of self-doubt about whether I will be able to survive 3 weeks without TV, coffee and work. All the doubt and fears were displaced from day 1. The omnipresent Dr Om, smiling Dr Anupama and Dr Anjali who were almost all the time with me, explaining the treatment and medicines. Special thanks to the Doctors. Thanks to my therapists Satesh and Ratheesh for the proper care given to me during the treatment session.
Thanks to all the housekeeping, Dining, and laundry staff. Most importantly the Satsang were vital knowledge about our body and its functions by various doctors. Thanks a lot for improving my HEALTH.

My husband Viney and I have been here for 14 days and have enjoyed our experience here at vaidyagrama. Our physician DRr Ramanandan and his dedicated young associates Dr Suvedha and Dr Arun are wise, gentle and knowledgeable and we have greatly benefited from their care and treatment here.
All, in our team of young therapists, have been well trained and very responsible in their well-planned schedules. I have also enjoyed the afternoon talks with the other members of the medical team. It has indeed expanded my understanding on the connected benefits of all our old values and health systems
The simple meals served here are also appreciated- they are planned well to help with our medical healing process.
The tranquillity of this medical centre, outside the city life, contributed to a very soothing and relaxing rejuvenation of both our physical and mental well-being.

There are no words in English that can adequately describe the importance and value of the work that is being done at vaidyagrama. What a privilege and joy it is to come back here and see this community continue to flourish and grow. It is the positive sign that the direction we are following is alive and well and that given efforts are recognized and that a source of healing emerges for patients, the community and the world.
And of course to say thank you to the gentle and loving care of the team from Aparna in the booking office to Anisha who came evening, night to give the massage, together with the team and all the others working with Dr Ramadas, Dr Aparna and Dr Vinod - your consideration + dedication is extraordinary. And thank you also for the extraordinary care of my friends Stephen, Claudine and Erick. I will come back soon with more friends and keep spreading ayurveda.

This is my fourth visit to Vaidyagrama. I return because of the healing atmosphere, and willingness to teach & explain that helps me deal with my health issues better - it has improved the quality of my life and I shall return. One suggestion I do have - is the staff needs to have a better command of English/Hindi this will greatly enhance the positive feeling people like me already have.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
Thank you, sir, for such a restful and supported 21-day retreat from the business of life. Vaidyagrama is a true gem, authentic Ayurveda at its best, entirely due to the wonderful team of doctors, therapists and other staff most especially the kitchen team producing beautiful, sattvic food in tiffin after tiffin. I especially enjoyed the afternoon talks. Ayurveda is endlessly fascinating. So big thank you to Dr Ramadas, Dr Renjisha Dr Vinod, Manju, Karthika Unnimaya and the whole team. Your work is so needed and appreciated.
May all be happy and healthy!!
Suggestions
Could cleaners have towels replace ones on the floor as getting a clean towel was not so straightforward.
Could people with their own SIM cards be asked to make calls quickly and respectfully as I had to listen to so many noisy conversations from my balcony.

This was my first visit to Vaidyagrama, and it was wonderful as expected. Everyone at Vaidyagrama is so warm and welcoming; I had never experienced this anywhere else. During the treatment, I had felt like a newborn baby, and the staff had given comfort like a mother. Thank you for making this a nice experience.
Suggestion: Would request to please add more fruits in the meals or a fruit meal during the stay. It was difficult to stay with this sort of meal.

To the Cluster One Team: Wow! What a team!
Thank you all for your dedication and devotion to Ayurveda and giving healing to the world through your daily work. This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama, and I hope to be back again!
Thanks to the entire doctor team; Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Aparna, Dr. Vinod, and Dr. Pavithra. It was a blessing to be here at Cluster One under the care of Dr.Ramadas. I had full confidence in his care and guiding my healing here. I also loved our conversations. And a special thanks to Dr. Aparna; you were with me daily and so supportive. Your care and wisdom were a big part of my healing. Thank you. And thanks to Dr. Vinod and Dr. Pavithra for filling in and covering my care as needed. I enjoyed meeting you both. After 23 days with all your constant care, I have laid a foundation for building a strong immune system and using my energy to bring happiness to all.
And to the therapist team - especially Bindu and Aneesha, you are amazing!! From dawn to dusk, doing medicine, meals, water, and treatment, you are angels.

Dearest Vaidyagrama doctors and staff,
I deeply appreciate my stay here and the health restoration. I was suffering from severe pain, which restricted me from doing daily chores. Allopathic medicine does not suit me and has a lot of side effects, because of which I have been coming to Vaidyagrama. It has really worked for me, giving me time to think and assess a lot of things. Thanks to Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Sisira and all the therapists who are so loving and caring.
A small suggestion if I may - the food given is okay, but the combinations can be better, like dosa with bhindi doesn't go well. Also, some vegetables are not cooked fully.
Wishing Vaidyagrama more success and growth into a bigger community for healing!

A big thank you to all Vaidyagrama staff for their dedication and selflessness. Especially the therapists who work so very hard and yet always carry a smile on their faces and a sympathetic heart. Special thanks to Prajisha, Kavita, Arya, Sameena, and all the others who helped me with so much care. I'm extremely grateful to the doctors who visited me daily. Special thanks to the laundry and custodial staff who are all very kind, helpful, and hard-working. Thank you to the kitchen staff for the extremely delicious food.
Thank you for providing free Wi-Fi hours so I could stay in touch with my loved ones. Thank you for providing the informative sessions, the fun group lunches, and all other events as well as the free library and store. This was my first visit to Vaidyagrama, and I look forward to the progress I will surely make after treatment, as well as my next visit to this special place.

I have experienced the expertise and selflessness of every single staff member and doctor. It made it feel like home and family. I have been inspired, deeply nourished, and tended to through every aspect of the cleanse. This level of healing and care is unparalleled, and I pray that what is being cultivated at Vaidyagrama ripples out to the masses so that true regeneration and right living in harmony with all beings returns to the Earth. I will return here to learn, grow, and heal. Much love!

Thank you so much Dr. Ramanandan, Dr.Arun and all staff members of treatment. Vaidyagrama is a very special place for genuine healing for the body under one roof. It is a very friendly environment here, and I am so happy to stay here. Every day I was feeling more energetic and stronger. All the staff are very caring, helpful, and cooperative. I am very grateful to Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Arun for treating me in a timely manner. Hopefully next year, I will come again.

First of all, thank you all. Though I did not stay long enough, during the days I stayed, everyone made me feel great. First, Dr. Ramanandan—he is not only a doctor but also a magician. The medicine he gave me removed my pain. He is a thorough gentleman with a great sense of humour, and I like talking to him during my appointments or consultations. Dr. Sisira is not only a beautiful girl but a very sweet girl. She patiently listens to what I have to say every day. All therapists are so nice and loving—Kavita, Arya, Prajisha, and some more whose names I do not remember.
I wish I could have stayed more days, but I could not. I understood that if you have to return to this place, you need to book a room much in advance. Food-wise, it needs a little improvement. I couldn't eat every day; sometimes two times on the same day. You get a lot of willpower to get adjusted to this plan. Next time, I will come prepared mentally. Love you all.

A tremendous thank you to the entire team of Vaidyagrama. Our stay here has been very beneficial and informative. We thought we were coming to an Ayurvedic treatment centre, but found Vaidyagrama to be a vibrant community with a universal and holistic worldview, much to be emulated across India and indeed the world.
We return with precious ideas and a serene peace of mind only attainable at a place as conscious as Vaidyagrama. We will certainly return and remain in touch with the remarkable doctors.
All the very best!

Dear Vaidyagrama family, it seems such a pollution-free surrounding will cure you even without treatment. The love and affection with which the patients are treated are bound to get them better and cured. I was literally pampered even more than at my home. Extraordinarily caring doctors. Extremely well-administered staff, and the therapists have also imbibed the culture. The therapists are very good, and they love their work and do their duty with devotion. It is such a place that even if you don’t have any problems, you would like to come here and stay for 2 to 3 weeks to rejuvenate yourself.
May you continue to grow and serve more and more people. God bless you all!
All the best,

I came here in bad shape, both bodily and mentally. This place was my last hope to get out of my health issues that have been ongoing for more than 10 years now. I trusted in Ayurveda and the great system of recovery which is held in its knowledge of wisdom. During the 3 weeks I have been here, I was in their hands, especially the therapists.
I cannot express how much better my whole body is now after a few not-so-easy weeks at this place. Now I have such a good mode to get on with my healing and recovery process for all my life. Thank you so much for all the prana and channelling my body/mind. Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!
With love,

Vaidyagrama is my home away from home. I have been here many times and every time I leave with the desire to come back again and again. This place has healed me emotionally and mentally and made me spiritually stronger. I came here to be around the most caring people I have met.
The one and only goal of this place is our healing. It’s a blessing to come to this place. Very humble thanks to Dr. Suvedha for taking care of all my needs. Therapists Shiny, Suranya, Shilpa, Princy, Aditya… thank you so much for the lovely healing treatments. Thank you, Jaya Chechi and team, for keeping my room clean. I can’t even thank Dr. Ramadas enough. He has made me a better person.
Thank you to my family, love you all.

I truly enjoyed my stay in Vaidyagrama for 18 days. The staff and doctors were polite and provided excellent service. My treatments went well and I saw positive improvements. The entire atmosphere was calm and serene. Hope to come back soon.
Finally, I would like to thank Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Vishaga, and Dr. Suvedha for taking good care of my health.

To the very lovely and cooperative team of Vaidyagrama,
As I am leaving here after 10 days, I feel the good Ayurveda treatment here. I want to thank the whole team, especially Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Sisira, who are not only wonderful Ayurvedic doctors but also good human beings. Therapist Arya is very hardworking.
Some of my suggestions: Some more Hindi-speaking staff and some improvement in food. As I am from North India, it is very difficult to have the same type of South Indian meal every time. Some North Indian food should also be served as it becomes very difficult to get food of different tastes for a long period. Otherwise, everything is fine. The atmosphere is very calm and peaceful. Priest Rajnish is a good priest. Thanks once again.

I, along with my wife, visited Vaidyagrama on 10.02.2024 on the recommendation of my sister who visited twice. Tomorrow I am leaving, and my reviews/suggestions are below:
The infrastructure of the hospital is commendable, very nicely designed, and well planned. Staff and doctors are very good in behaviour and experience, especially Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Sisira. Therapist Vinod has long experience and is a good person. Vaidyagrama is also helping the local poor people by giving free food and has its own charitable trust.
Suggestions: Besides religious activities, some other activities should also be there such as ludo, carrom, and chess.
Most important: There is no ambulance seen, only one board is hanging with an ambulance number mentioned to take care of the patient. For high BP patients, if anything happens, God bless. There should be 24-hour ambulance availability and a mini-ICU ready for any emergency such as heart attack or brain clot. There must be at least one ATM. At last, I give 4 stars ****.
One more suggestion: food according to the patient's taste should be served, not only South Indian food. Thanks, I hope the Vaidyagrama team will consider my advice.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
I love being here; the doctors, all of them are wonderful, loving, nurturing, and intuitive. Not only did my physical condition improve, but also my mind went through a drastic change. I celebrated here with myself, but the whole staff supported me and gave me whatever I needed for my spiritual growth. Dr. Ramadas was my instrument in a change of perspective and everyday learning from Ramkumar ji was so enriching. I have the therapists; they are so loving, caring, gentle, and when needed, while giving therapies.
I don't have enough words to describe the place. It's a wonderful peaceful cocoon, and that is exactly what I need here. I am sad to go and leave this family. I hope to come back soon or even volunteer and make this my next home in India.
Love and light,

I came to Vaidyagrama without knowing much about the place. I was disturbed by the sudden cut-off from the internet and my other routines. The warmth of the doctors and staff in Vaidyagrama made me feel totally at home, and today I am returning home with new friendships, pleasant memories, and a very satisfactory treatment. I am feeling a lot better and lighter after these 21 days. I would like to thank Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Vishaga, Dr. Suvedha, and Dr. Arun for all their treatment and guidance. Therapists are equally important in Ayurveda. The team of therapists in Vaidyagrama is exemplary, and even when small errors were pointed out, they were addressed and rectified immediately. I would like to thank Shilpa, Arya, Bindu, Bala, Suranya, and a few others whose names I am not able to recollect now.
Best wishes to Vaidyagrama to continue their good services!

To the whole Vaidyagrama team,
Thank you very much for all your care, your knowledge, and your kindness. It has been such a wonderful experience, and I am awed by the beautiful healing space that you have all created here. I think this will just be the beginning of my healing journey, and what a way to start!! Thank you once again!
P.S. The group lunches were delicious.
P.P.S. One suggestion: Before the various poojas, etc. explain what is being celebrated/honoured so the participants feel more a part of the ceremony.
THIS PLACE IS WONDERFUL!

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible three weeks I spent under your care. My stay at Vaidyagrama has been nothing short of transformative and I owe it to your unwavering love, healing potential, medical expertise, and guidance.
Thank you for balancing my doshas, eliminating my ama, improving my Agni, rejuvenating my body + mind, and releasing all my very stubborn cell memories.
Thank you to all the doctors and therapists for your daily positivity, genuine warmth, and humanity that touched my heart in ways I never thought possible.
As I prepare to depart from this healing village, there is heaviness knowing our time together is coming to an end, but also joy and lightness knowing I carry with me the invaluable lessons, health, and love you all have gifted me.
So thank you for making my stay unforgettable with my deepest love and gratitude!

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
I’m so grateful that you took care of me for 21 days, especially Dr. Vishaga and the best therapists Arya and Bindu. They are so cute and lovely. Arya is so patient and always takes care of everything we need in a lovely way. I love you girls so much and will remember you forever. The only thing that was unpleasant here was some overcharges, which made me uncomfortable, so I think it’s a point to look into and get better because it really increased my pitta at some moments. But besides that, I felt comfortable, secure, and taken care of. So, I thank all the lovely staff for your love and support.

It was a very precious time staying here! Thank you for such amazing treatment and everything that was given to me. There were some mistakes or maybe miscommunications between staff here and there, but still I'm quite satisfied with my very first Panchakarma at Vaidyagrama. I'm so thankful for this beautiful experience. Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Harikumar, all the therapists, housekeepers, and so on, I really appreciate everything you've done for me. Thank you.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
Namaskaram to doctors, therapists, masseurs, housekeeping, and office staff. My friend introduced me to this place. My husband was not willing to come, but he did come. I thought he would quit in a few days, but he stayed for 7 days as planned.
This place was a new experience that he had no clue about. It was relaxing and felt stress-free. My mind became quieter, and I wanted to speak softly, though at times I got anxious and angry. Our special thanks to Dr. Ramadas, who was patient in listening to us.
I am basically a fruit lover, so I was happy with sweet papaya. My husband is a foodie but had the food served, though he would eat little.
Thank you all for the love and care we received at Vaidyagrama. Planning to visit soon with a frame of mind as now I know what it is like to stay here. It’s always good to come back to my second home. You have all become part of my family. The care and attention have been consistent over many years. I will be back soon!

Vaidyagrama is a beautiful place to rejuvenate, recuperate, and from tomorrow, reminisce. The birds, the plants, the architecture take your breath away! The doctors—Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Vishaga, Dr. Arun—took such loving care. Dr. Om Prakash Ji has a great sense of humor and presence of mind. He is very erudite in his subject, very caring, and took care of me in an unforgettable way. Dr. Vishagalakshmi, another attentive, loving, caring, compassionate, and soft-spoken doctor, took care of me like a mother. Dr. Arun is very attentive, loving, caring, compassionate, and soft-spoken; I saw him for three days.
The room is well-designed and comfortable. The therapists, Bindu and Silpa, who took care of me were loving and very effective in their delivery of treatment. The system of temples and pooja conveys the humility of humans in front of the divine. The Dhanwantari temple is a beauty. The Siva temple is so majestic. Prayers of Vishnu Sahasra Nama and Lalitha Sahasra Nama are chanted with so much devotion.
All the doctors are first humane and come across with bhakti and love. The vision of Dr. Ramkumar has given us all a heaven to recuperate, rejuvenate, and rejoice in the human endeavor of healing with the power of Ayurveda. The chemical-free atmosphere and the complete cycle of organic management strike awe in me. From procurement to disposal, the place is kept extraordinarily clean. God bless Vaidyagrama, may Dhanwantari Bhagawan be present in the loving doctors' treatment of patients. This beautiful forest with all amenities and very loving staff, meticulous in their work, takes my heart away.
Gratefully,

This was so much more than I expected. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed. The staff was friendly and service oriented. We met with doctors once, and sometimes twice, daily. The medications and food, while unappealing and unpoetic, seemed to do their job and worked for us. The goal was health and not pleasure, and you more than delivered. I enjoyed the group lunch; a weekly social event was sufficient for me. I attended and loved the daily talks and treatments.
At the ages of 72 and 81, we wanted to improve our health in measurable ways and slow down, if not reverse, the aging process. We lost needed weight and began walking without pain after only a few days. We reduced our blood pressure to consistently normal ranges.
I suggest perhaps beginning the going-home process earlier for those who are here for two weeks or more, so it’s more of a transition and offers greater opportunity for communication.
For most of us not familiar with the foods, perhaps a small description of what we eat with general ingredients would be helpful. A glossary of basic Hindi terms such as "good morning" and "thank you" would allow guests to be polite and understand some traditions. I didn't know what to do at morning prayer.
24-hour Wi-Fi access in the Mandapam area would be appreciated so I don't have to make late-night calls from my room.
Awesome job.

We had an amazing experience at Vaidyagrama. In our healing journey, everyone from Dr. Hari Kumar to Dr. Abhiram, Dr. Renjisha, and Dr. Anjali helped improve our physical and mental wellness with their expertise in medicines and Panchakarma. We really appreciate the therapists, the accounts department, and the cooking staff for their wonderful service. Thank you.

Dearest Vaidyagrama staff,
Thank you so much for all your care and compassion. I have felt very supported these past 3 weeks. I came here with several health issues/symptoms, and I have seen many of them resolved. I look forward to more healing in the coming weeks and months...
I love what you are building; it's more than just a place for individuals to heal... The sustainability, community, peaceful meditative space are wonderful. I also really loved the educational component, mainly in the form of Satsang’s and Q+A with the doctors. Dr. Pavithra and Dr. Ramadas were like loving, supportive (and sometimes stern) parents on my journey. I'm so grateful for their guidance. And I can't say enough about the female therapists. Anju, Manju, Unnimaya, Lakshmi, and others. They made me feel so relaxed and granted. My only 2 suggestions are about things that I wish I had been told about before I arrived, so I could have planned better.
I did not realize that having my period would delay/stop treatment for 4 days - that should probably be explained to women ahead of time so they can plan their dates and Plan to stay a far extra day. I did not realize I would be taking home so much medicine. I wish I had brought an empty suitcase or something!
Otherwise, everything was great. I look forward to returning and seeing how Vaidyagrama grows and fulfils its eco-mission more and more.

This is my second time here, and God willing, it won't be the last. I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart for the love and care you all have given me, both last year and this time. I arrived feeling very unwell, and I am leaving feeling renewed, knowing I am and will stay well in body, mind, and spirit. Thank you for everything you have done for me. I am sad to be leaving, but I feel stronger and ready to go back into the world.Thank you!

At the start, there were some hard days, but everyone remained with me, caring for and meeting my needs. The devotion of the team towards the patients is something I have never seen before. Vaidyagrama is truly a healing village. The prayers, the people, the land, the water, the cows, the location -all create a space for magical healing moments. Professional services, clean hot food, and joy! I feel amazing, so much better. My life has changed in ways that will unravel before me. With deep gratitude, trust, friendship, and love.

My third visit to Vaidyagrama comes to an end. Each of my journeys here has been different. This one has been the most difficult and demanding, both for my body and mind. I cannot find words to express my gratitude towards the whole team. Without their support and understanding, I might have quit.
Skills, experience, and kindness are the keywords that come to mind and apply to everyone, from the senior doctors to the therapists and service staff. I am leaving Vaidyagrama with a clear mind and cleansed body, ready and prepared for whatever comes next. I feel like I am leaving my family behind, whom I will gladly meet again next time. Take good care. Thanks, thanks, thanks, and thanks,

I am grateful for the time at Vaidyagrama. It allowed me the opportunity to experience Panchakarma for the first time, and the possibility to heal the mind, heart and body with the intelligence of Ayurveda and the precious guidance and kindness of Drs. Om Prakash and Anjali. Their deep care and mindfulness throughout the day made my stay enlightening. I am happy that I came. The therapists and staff were excellent. I will surely try to come again. Thank you Dr. Sajna for everything.

My time at Vaidyagrama was enlightening. I have been studying Ayurveda in the US for several years, but never had the opportunity to do a full Panchakarma. I feel that the Ayurvedic experience at Vaidyagrama is authentic. Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel at home.
Thank you, Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Suvedha, for providing me with the insight and treatment to hopefully avoid the diseases that run in my family. I learned so much from them, and the therapists, about Ayurvedic practices to maintain wellness. It is not the kind of knowledge and insight that can be learned from a textbook but must be directly transmitted. I will use this knowledge to help myself and others in my community. I look forward to returning next year.

You came and made us well—what greater gift could there be? Thank you, Keziya and Jithina, for looking after us like family. We will remember your smiling faces. Vaishnavi, Shiny, Sandhyaand all others, you gave us your love and care with the daily treatments. It is you who made us well. God bless you.

This was my first Panchakarma treatment, and I found it to be very rejuvenating in the short 10-day span I was here. The setting is very peaceful and conducive to mind-body healing. I appreciate the expertise of my physicians and the staff here at Vaidyagrama. I hope this practice will be repeated around the globe.

This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama. My first visit was in July 2019 when I was fully cured of urticaria, which is often considered incurable and can only be suppressed with antihistamines. Once again, I am here to address a persistent inflammation in my arm. I am glad that I was introduced to Vaidyagrama during my first visit. I have recommended this place to many of my friends and family members, all of whom have tremendously benefited from their stay here. The highly dedicated team of very capable doctors and support staff is unparalleled. The focus on holistic healing, both physical and spiritual, has been the most differentiating experience. My good wishes are with the Vaidyagrama team. Keep serving humanity and the environment with the same zeal and dedication. You are a wonderful team!

I am satisfied with the treatment, diagnostics and the warm welcome. The staff were charming and very attentive. I must request chocolate ice cream and more fruits, but it seems they are not Ayurvedic! One area for improvement is the training of therapists. It's not enough to know the protocol; they need to understand our care. I understand this job is hard each day, but in this case, more therapists are necessary.
Some suggestions: teach us the meaning of prayers and ceremonies, as we understand nothing. I really miss the yoga sessions in the garden, and I miss your WhatsApp messages with dosa and other recipes. I don't know what I must do to improve the effectiveness of the medicine. Thank you.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
I came here with no expectation of any improvement. This place was highly recommended by many people I know. I came here with a chronic back issue and was able to maintain a level 5/10 of pain by taking 1800 mg of ibuprofen and 900 mg of gabapentin. My doctor designed a great treatment plan, and now I can leave Vaidyagrama with a pain level of 4/10 and 200 mg of ibuprofen and 300 mg of gabapentin.
I would like to take a minute to express my gratitude to the people who made this miracle happen, who prepared the kashayam, who cleaned the place morning and night, the amazing therapists I had, and anyone else behind the scenes whom I missed. I would like to especially thank Keerthi Vinod for helping me with an issue I had. And most of all, my two junior doctors. A special thanks to Dr. Aparna, who was an amazing support, confidant, and friend to me today. Thank you to Dr. Ramanandan; I am doing much better than when I arrived.
Sincerely,

I’m so glad that I came here. I have always believed in Ayurveda and have been trying to follow it in my own way, but coming here gave it more definition and inspired me to fulfil the mission I have, which is similar to what they have already accomplished. I’m sure it’s not easy to achieve the level of service they provide with so much love and care.
It feels like I’m leaving my home today. Even when I arrived, the centre felt like home because of the energy it has, which is extremely pure and healing. The name justifies it all: “The Healing Village.” I will be back and will spread the word for sure. This place is heaven for people looking to heal inside and out. The calming energy can heal anyone.
Thank you for a wonderful experience; the care and love really moved me. A BIG THANK YOU AND HUGE HUG FOR CREATING THIS COMMUNITY!!

To our very dear Vaidyagrama family,
Our deepest gratitude for the beautiful two weeks spent here. For us, it is a great blessing full of auspicious moments of self-discovery, healing, and community – to be here under the care of the most amazing team of doctors. I cannot express in words the extraordinary and loving care lavished on my mother by the entire team of doctors and therapists. I am certain it is unique in the world. It is the manifestation of a beautiful Vision of mutual caring, affection, love and healing.
Since my mother is now facing many challenges with mobility and independence, she has a few suggestions for the creators of Vaidyagrama to ease the stay of elderly and handicapped patients:
- Perhaps dedicate one block to the care of patients with special physical challenges.
- Bathrooms should be fitted according to international guidelines:
- Toilet height: 18 inches
- Grab bars within easy reach of the toilet on a side wall
- If there is no wall, then a frame with support bars on each side
- Bidet with a jet of water for easy cleansing
- A wide sliding door for easy access with a wheelchair or walker
- If a special block is created, perhaps one extra staff member can be added to the therapy team, and some extra charges can be made for this help.

My wife and I came to Vaidyagrama for a three-week detox and rejuvenation. Being my first ever visit to an Ayurveda centre, I did not know what to expect. But the team at Vaidyagrama made all the difference for us, providing a wonderful experience. What caught my attention was that everyone at Vaidyagrama, regardless of rank or position, was courteous, helpful, and had a remarkable sense of service. It can only come with pride of ownership, and that is rare to find in everyone.
Kudos to Dr. Ramkumar for building such a wonderful culture across such a big team! You mentioned that you are not perfect, but everyone wearing a Vaidyagrama uniform and the Doctors make up for all the imperfections to create a great experience.
Special thanks to the team that took care of us in room 208, led by Dr. Ramanandan, with Dr. Sisira and Dr. Ardent, and therapists Vinod, Santosh, Kavita, Arya, and Bhagya. The laundry team was exceptional. We loved the prayer sessions every morning and evening, especially led in the booming voice of Dr. Ramadas. We enjoyed walking around the campus, listening to bird songs, and admiring the plants you are growing here, although some of them look a bit wilted and in need of water. We were blessed to have the ability to walk over and visit the Dhanvantari temple each morning.
In the spirit of continuous improvement, a few things you can consider:
- We know that we are in Nature and expect to see a few visitors such as bats, cats, and peacocks. However, we did not expect cockroaches in the healthcare facility. Please do something to get rid of them. They are in many places around the campus.
- At times, we felt there was a break in the information flow from the doctors to the therapists, especially when the doctor assigned to the illam was on leave.

You treat us as one of your family members and are always ready to help and guide us 24 hours a day. I salute you all. A big thank you. Please continue the good work.

My sincere good wishes to them, and I hope they continue their good work helping villages and improving their systems and facilities. Again, my gratitude to the whole Vaidyagrama family. Special gratitude to the kitchen crew for providing nutritious and delicious food three times a day. All gratitude to the cleaning staff working day in and day out! Namaste!

They are kind and helpful. Overall, my experience has been very positive, as I had no prior experience with Ayurveda. Continued use and asking questions were necessary. Dr. Harikumar spent much time explaining the philosophy of the practice, and Dr. Renjisha was wonderful in answering my questions daily. I look forward to an ongoing relationship with this wonderful tradition. Much gratitude.

My first visit to an Ayurveda hospital for treatment. It was a short stay for a week, but it was a very calm and peaceful place, more connected to the earth and nature.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
My husband and I came here with our health issues, and tomorrow we are going back feeling much healthier, happier and more energetic. All the doctors and therapists are very caring. I would like to mention Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Pavithra, whose cheerful dispositions helped us throughout our stay. Dr. Pavithra was always there with a ready smile to help us. Within a week, we started feeling at home.
The Satsangs in the afternoon helped us learn a lot. We especially looked forward to Dr. Ramkumar’s lectures. The group lunches helped us get to know our family here and enjoy singing with them.
Staying in this pristine environment, waking up to the chirping of the birds, and breathing fresh air has helped us heal better. We are carrying home a lot of learning with us. We loved the morning and evening prayers, poojas, and Agnihotra. Our deep-felt gratitude to the entire Vaidyagrama family. May the Almighty bless you all for healing so many lives!

We came to Vaidyagrama on 28/02/24 with multiple problems: I had knee pain, insomnia, body pain, and my wife had varicose veins . Now everything is settled and cured. We are going back with full confidence in Dr. Pavithra, Dr. Ramadas and the whole Vaidyagrama family, who are truly dedicated to their work and Indian culture. All the workers are very loving and careful. We feel a great sense of gratitude towards all of you and feel the aura of Shiva is everywhere, protecting us. Gratitude for every morning and evening prayers, and especially to Dr. Ramadas, who is a very good consultant. God bless you.
With lots of regards,

Leaving Vaidyagrama for the third time, knowing there will be many more visits. This time especially, I felt so at home. The routine of the wonderful staff at all levels and areas is remarkable. The dedication, love, kindness and attention put into every little bit of running this home is astonishing. I feel incredibly grateful I have found you and already have a date for my return. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. May you all be happy, peaceful and healthy! May you continue to serve so selflessly with integrity and balance, as you have so far. All my love and well wishes!

Hello dear Vaidyagrama family,
My daughter, my grandson and I visited Vaidyagrama in early March. Dr. Om Prakash asked about our health issues very clearly and confirmed the treatments accordingly. Dr. Anjali and Dr. Subbalakshmi also took good care of us. The therapists who treated us were so lovely and caring. Thanks!

The experience at Vaidyagrama was awesome. I liked the staff and doctors, the healthy organic food, etc. I would like to come again and stay here for 21 days. Thanks to Dr. Om, Dr. Anjali, Dr. Mojin, and Dr. Subbalakshmi, who try their maximum to help the patients cope with the treatments. My special thanks to Dr. Ramadas.

I want to thank the whole team who took care of me for 20 full days. It’s been an excellent experience and a big learning process. So much to digest. I deeply believe that this is the medicine that can address the different bodies in such a balanced way. The body, the ethereal body, the astral body and the organization (ego) are considered individually. What an amazing stay it has been! All the treatments were kindly explained and nicely given. Thank you for offering such quality care in such a defined time. Please come to France often. Blessings to all. I will miss you. Much love,

Very good morning…Vaidyagrama!
My stay in Vaidyagrama has overall been amazing. The doctors have been so good, and the staff has been so warm and welcoming. One thing that really made me happy was the social service that takes place here, like taking care of old people by providing them with meals and taking care of orphaned kids and giving them education. That's very good. Thank you.

Dear all,
Thank you for your friendly advice, attention and recommendations. Thanks a lot also to the doctors for their patience, attention and empathy. For me, it was a dream realized after 10 years. I am convinced that this was a good way for health. I am going back home with new energy. It is a new page for me. Thank you all for the activities that you prepare to bring Ayurveda and spiritual importance in the lives of each person. Please continue to travel around the world to speak about your precious art. Thank you.

Dear all, I have no words to truly express how full of gratitude I am. This is a place for peace, sharing, support and service. Your devotion to what you do is deep and full of love. This is my second time here, and it was an opportunity for putting down my roots here. Surely, I will come back soon, bringing another group who are looking for health, peace, and support. All my best thoughts, my best regards. God bless all of you!

Thanks to all for the time here at Vaidyagrama. It has been both challenging and fantastic. I am healing my body and soul. My healing process especially appreciated Shirodhara and Abhyanga. Also, always getting a smile back when you meet someone's gaze, the familiar atmosphere, and meeting with other people have also been part of the process. I am very glad I found Vaidyagrama. Namaste.

Our experience and stay has been great. I had come here with cramps and other issues, but they have all been resolved. My wife is having difficulty with the treatment, but hopefully 10 more days will help her tremendously. Dr. Hari Kumar and Dr. Nandana are very caring, understanding and knowledgeable.
The therapists and staff are great. The treatment tables are very hard; I wish they were padded to make it easier on the body. Overall, it has been a good experience.
We take the prayer before starting the treatment, and the result is in the hands of God. Thank you all and hope to see you again. It would be nice if the same therapist worked on your body during the treatment; in 12 days I had five different therapists. It is just my suggestion.

I have enjoyed my time here at Vaidyagrama very much. The dynamic campus is ideal for fully immersing in the deep traditional Ayurveda. I have found that the more I surrender to the treatment plan and flow, the better my experience. While communicating my needs didn't always yield results the first time because of the language barrier, everyone generally wants to make you comfortable, so I found it special.
It's a great privilege to receive this type of round-the-clock care, and I feel it is something that one cannot take for granted. There's an incredible amount of coordination behind the scenes. Dr. Sajna also provided very sharp and extra support when I needed it. I will miss all the sweetness that I have experienced with the staff; there's such a positive energy here.
My biggest suggestion is that some of the most senior doctors, especially Dr. Harikumar, learn to be better listeners and not make so many assumptions about a patient. Lots can be learned from the patient. Some housekeeping suggestions: an alarm next to the bed with dim and dimmer light would be nice at night; towels would be nice in the room for stretching; a hammock would be nice. Overall suggestion: a map in the room of the campus would be nice; it would be helpful to orient oneself better. Better communication when one is trying to come to Vaidyagrama. I was communicating with Aparnaji, and sometimes she would not get back to me. It was unclear how to get in touch. It would be better to have my questions answered. Thank you, I will be back.

I was surprised in many ways by my treatments. The massages were different in so many ways from any I have ever had. The attention to detail was lovely. Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Vishagalakshmi, you are good doctors. I enjoyed the time you had for me. Dr. Rose too. They were a fabulous team for me. I have never had so much good attention, and Dr. Vishagalakshmi was leading in attention. Thank you.

I thank you for your commitment to your path and Ayurveda. I am leaving today in a place of peace and joy. My highlight here was rediscovering my voice and love for playing music with others. Thanks to Dr. Ramadas for playing the guitar with me. Keep on spreading the love. Lots of love to you all. Bless you!

Dear all, This is my second visit (the first time I visited for my son and stayed for 4 days). When I reached here, I was very disturbed in my mind, but my visit was with great confidence. The treatment started, and after one week, I did not feel any fast improvement, but slowly my problem improved and is now fully gone.
The doctors who attended me were very kind and courteous and listened to my problems with the utmost care. Further treatment was also very nice. The paramedical junior staff was also kind to me, and I am very pleased. The catering service people also nicely planned all things. The atmosphere maintained here is very conducive for people residing here for treatment. The spiritual activities also motivated me and provided good relief for my mental peace. Totally I have enjoyed this atmosphere and feel good about any type of health problems. I wish all the best to all the staff. My special thanks to Dr. Ramadas and the junior doctors who have taken care of me. Thank you.

I was very comfortable during my stay, and it's an amazing place to be for Ayurvedic treatment. All the therapies given were technically amazing and provided me with some comfort. I am very hopeful and satisfied with my current treatment and for the future as well. Everybody here is very humble, patient and caring. I would really recommend this place for a holistic and sustainable way of feeling well. From the food to the environment to daily routines and pooja, the place has been decent, precise and thoughtful. Regards.

This place is obviously the most authentic Ayurvedic hospital village. Professional doctors, therapists; the caretakers maintain the garden sector very well. It's a lovely place to come and get what we are expecting at the right time of the year, not in the hot months. Every therapy and lecture was clear to me. English was used where necessary, and in a slow voice. Many thanks to all for their friendliness, helpfulness and kindness!

One thing I have noticed most here is the dignity and respect of everyone in service. The care, dignity, and respect are blended with kindness, making it a joy to live here. Observing Nature over time shows the beauty and order of Vaidyagrama. The human connections and care are comforting. Thank you for the effort to make me feel welcomed and cared for. Your belief in the possibility of my healing has been inspiring. Each person here has contributed to my well-being. I will be forever grateful and will apply what I have learned here. I plan to return and contribute to the future.
It's been a very nice experience, physically, mentally and socially. The staff are super nice and helpful. I came with many physical issues, and while I understand it will take some time to heal, I am confident I will get better.
The living spaces are very comfortable, clean and airy, with lots of trees and gardens that make you feel good inside and out.
The staff is very helpful, and my doctors visit 2-3 times daily to explain things, which I appreciate. I will continue my treatment at home and plan to visit again. Thank you so much, everyone, with my deepest gratitude, care, and love. One suggestion: please consider getting dishwashers. The one big issue is the Wi-Fi/internet connectivity. Thanks.

My time at Vaidyagrama has been a journey full of ups and downs. I came to heal my body from cancer and to learn all the ways of Ayurveda to understand the wisdom and knowledge of this science. I take home much knowledge I can share with the world. I believe this has taught me patience and understanding of the body and what it takes to heal physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Super special thanks to my main doctor Sisira, Dr. Sreeji, therapists Kavitha, Abhirami, Nimmy, and Devayani, who have been so caring and welcoming from the moment I arrived. Grateful for my time here. It was challenging, but also very healing. See you soon. Namaste.

I am very grateful for having the opportunity to experience healing at Vaidyagrama. It provides an environment conducive for personal growth and reflection.
Love the attention to details given by the doctors, my therapists Bindu and Shilpa. Absolutely love Dr. Vishaga Lakshmi. She has that reassuring attitude that is so humane and essential in-patient care. Enjoyed my spiritual talks with Dr. Ramadas and enjoyed the morning prayers too.
There were a few hiccups which I feel could have been prevented if assumptions were not made about me being sensitive to the heat. I knew my skin reaction was not the typical reaction that, get to the seen. It did not help when it got worse with each day. I feel therapist Sameena was a god send when she recognized that my skin reaction looked like an allergic reaction and stopped the green gram powder bath wash. I will be ever grateful as my last two days were pleasant as the itching and spreading stopped.
Overall, a beautiful experience & I would recommend this place to family and friends happily.

I came to Vaidyagrama, recommended by one of my very good friend and well-wisher. I am extremely grateful to them for sending me here.
I came here with severe knee pain, not able to walk. Now after 21 days, I am going back with minimal pain. The swelling of my knees has completely gone.
I am extremely grateful to all the doctors who attended to me, especially Dr. Om Prakash and Dr. Vishaga Lakshmi, Dr. Rose was also good. All of them made me feel very good, comfortable, and homely.
The serene positive atmosphere, the sattvic food and Satsangs added to the great positive atmosphere here. My therapists Bindu, Nisha, Arya, Silpa and others who came for a few sessions were also extremely kind and co-operative and very concerned.
I am very happy that I came here. I will try my best to spread this message to my friends and relatives. My heartfelt thanks and best wishes to one and all here. I forgot to mention the back-office staff, particularly Sandhya. She was very helpful and kind.
Thank you all once again!

I had heard of Ayurveda treatments, but never thought I would do them personally. My father was a surgeon in the army, so we have always had doses of allopathy medicines for any ailments, but I wanted to give Ayurveda medicine and treatment a try. After coming to Vaidyagrama, I truly understood what Ayurveda stands for and all about diet, body, and mind.
Getting up early and attending Dr. Ramadas' pooja is so mind blowing, you can feel vibrations from his voice, and it energizes you. As my doctor, he has explained the whole concept of my ailments so thoroughly that it has left me with no doubt that our body will get well if we just follow all the principles.
The housekeeping staff, the therapists and all the members of Vaidyagrama have been very dedicated to their work and make you feel like it’s an extended family. Also, a big thank you to Dr. Abhiram who came in daily to find out how we were doing facing any problems. A big thank you to the team of doctors, therapists, and staff of Vaidyagrama.

Feeling very blessed to have been receiving panchakarma in such a warm, comforting, and
professional environment like Vaidyagrama. After being here for 6 weeks doing an internship and 3
weeks of full body detox, I feel I have experienced a state of peace that is difficult to find back at home.
The benefits are slowly showing but I have no doubt that they will come.
I truly like to Thank Dr. Vinod and the therapists for this great experience and learning of ayurveda in practice while working so hard for my health. In addition, I am also very grateful for all the mantra singing, lectures and Yoga Nidra that benefit the healing on other levels, and lastly but certainly not the least, thanks to all the cooking staff dears for the delicious meals and clean rooms.
Vaidyagrama is a Special place with a beautiful Vision, and I wish everyone including staff & patients the best possible healing experience in the future.

Dear Illam 6 Doctors, Therapists and staff of Vaidyagrama!
It was like “Coming Home" 2 weeks ago as I entered VG. A lovely welcome by familiar faces and new ones that continue the warmth of this healing village. Had the privilege of being treated by Dr Om Prakash who was standing in for Dr Ramanandan who was away for a while.
My conversations with Dr Om Prakash were good, so much knowledge, practicality, logic and most attractive was his smile, positive and pleasant disposition. He led the able team of Dr Abhiram, Dr. Ardent and Dr. Sisira towards assessment to treatment after fusing my mental and physical condition. Ever grateful for all your timely care and treatment.
I cannot be grateful enough to my therapists Kavita, Seema, Arya, Aditya Bala, Bhavya, Devi, Sindhu, and Vishnu Priya, for their service with a smile, devotion, and healing vibes in all their interactions. A big God blesses! To the laundry staff and kitchen staff, many thanks for the feasts especially on Wednesdays and Easter Sunday! Thanks for the yummy cake especially!
I was lucky that Dr Ramanandan was back and even though he was away had left instructions about me and was here to see my progress in these 14 days. It was unfortunate to cut my stay short due to a family emergency, but the love and care from all departments was phenomenal.
Love to see the ambience in VG and so much more greenery and flowers. I was happy to plant a Jasmine, as a thanksgiving for my beautiful time here. Giving back to Nature what Nature gives to me is why I stay here.
I was so happy to see the prompt service by the front office in all communications… God bless Aparna ji & Sandhya ji.
Thanks, and not a word that can do justice to what I feel! Better ways to look after oneself and live life to the fullest in moderation, prayers and service is what I am taking back with me!
My Love and best wishes!

The doctors treat you not just with their brain, but also with their heart. I would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Rose and Dr. Mojin; Dr. Rose came for the consultation almost every day I was here. Dr. Mojin is also a wonderful person. Both are perfect representations of what a doctor should be. Lastly a heartfelt thank you to all the therapists, cleaning staff, cooks, helpers, and administrators. You’re all fabulous!

I have come to the end of 22 days of stay at Vaidyagrama and have undertaken the panchakarma
treatment. I feel like I am leaving as a new person with a better understanding and compassion for
the world we live in. This is all thanks to Vaidyagrama ethos and amazing doctors, therapists,
cleaning staff, cooks, gardeners, office staff - just about everyone I can thank of.
I came with a heavy head and heart and feel lighter and clearer than I have ever done before. I don’t think there is another place like this special space that has been created by a true visionary. Thank you, Dr. Ramkumar, we are all blessed to have chosen a path with you.
Despite the extreme weather and not being able to sleep, I have enjoyed every minute of my stay and cannot wait to come back.
After doing tour of the whole campus, I could see it reflected the ethos of sharing knowledge, caring for Mother Earth, caring for the community and those who enter its space - a truly special place.
I enjoyed every Satsang and learnt so much and was excited to continue the learning process. Inspiring doctors and visiting Swamis - I am in awe of them all. Thank you for all the care, support, guidance, and knowledge.
And a special thanks to Therapists Unnimaya, Sruthi, Lakshmi and especially Aneesha. Your care, kindness and concern was very touching and appreciated. You went above and beyond with your mighty massages which helped me sleep. A special thank you to Dr. Aparna for your expertise.
Thank you everyone at Vaidyagrama and see you soon.

I came here for an authentic panchakarma stay with Nature. All the Satsangs, professional teachings and spirituality (morning and evening prayers, poojas, talks with Swamiji). How I should explain I was at the right time, in the right place. I got all that was needed for my healing processes. Physically and mentally, I feel the love and compassion from all the staff and Vaidyagrama is much more than a big family now with patients included. I thank every doctor, therapist, housekeeping staff and so on.
My special thanks go to my doctors and therapists in Ilam 3, Dr. Aparna, Dr. Hima, Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Ramanandan, Sruti, Aneesha, Seema, Lakshmi.
Thank you all for the love, & I will come back soon. It is a magical place. Thank you Dr. Ramkumar, I am very blessed that I am now also a part of this wonderful family. If I forgot any name, please forgive me.

Dearest Vaidyagrama Family,
Thank you so much for all your service, dedication, care, compassion, and smiles!!
I came here as a student last year and what I saw here impressed me a lot, so I came here this year just for an 8- day treatment. We started the treatments because of the immediate consultation of Dr. Om Prakash, and I was very satisfied with his knowledge, dedication to this profession, careful care of me and his intimate knowledge about life, spirit, and lifestyle. I would like to thank him very much.
I would also like to thank Dr Subbalakshmi for her daily morning consultations, patiently informing me about my treatments and always making me feel good with her smiling face. I would also like to thank the staff in the treatment room for their kindness and helpfulness.
The knowledge and experience of doctors and nurses made me feel safe. I am grateful for the care and attention shown to me throughout my treatment process. Also, the cleanliness and order of your center was admirable.
Thank you again and I wish you continued success!

I have been visiting Vaidyagrama, though since after it opened in 2009, there was a large gap with years; but it's good to be home!
I first heard of Dr Ramkumar’s Vision in 2006. And it impressed me deeply.
Over the years She grows. It just gets Better and better!
Two words sum it up - Integrity & Authenticity.
Truly a community has been created and everybody cares, from gardeners cleaners therapists doctors; The meals have been fantastic - Simple, yet tasty & simple servings – I never felt any lack of anything during my stay.
Namaste… Shanti Shanti!

Dear Vaidyagrama team, My friend said to me the day before I came here, ‘if you don’t like it you can leave’. Her comment was in response to the many questions I had about being in an unfamiliar environment by myself for almost 3 weeks. I wrote to her the day I arrived and said there will be no problem for me here. Everyone has welcomed me warmly. I feel confident that my time here will heal.
I would like to thank all the doctors besides Dr. Aparna and Dr. Ramanandan who were my primary care givers. I also appreciate Doctors Hima, Pavithra, and Vinod who filled in as needed. And all those who facilitated the Satsangs every day, led prayers and Yoga Nidra, cooking classes etc.
The therapists are also amazing, all caring and kind. I spent a lot of time with Aneesh and Sruthi and will miss them very much. Also, Bindu and the others always give a kind smile and guide what to do. Also, many thanks to the housekeeping staff in illam 3 and all around keeping the pathways clean and the leaves cleared so trees can grow. And the laundry team too.
I have met or seen the above-named staff, but I want to thank the kitchen staff whom I didn’t meet, for the amazing food every day. The time went by very fast with so many poojas. I met many other patients, and we became friends, bonding over this special place.
Many blessings to you all. Now let the healing begin. Love!

Came here with a confused mind and leaving with a clear mind. Stayed here for almost 3 weeks and
during the initial day lots of questions ran there like, will I be healed? Will I become better? But as
days progressed with the help of the knowledgeable doctors, I gained my confidence upon
treatment. Dr. Om Prakash and Dr. Vinod are my doctors. They attended to me with utmost care.
and answered all my crazy questions with lots of patience, shared the knowledge about my health.
and provided a proper treatment plan. Manju and Shyni my therapists are worth to be mentioned as they put me in a comfort zone during my treatment despite me having to wear the clothing, which I was not at all comfortable initially. Apart from doctors and therapists there are tons of good things to be listed about Vaidyagrama.
Witnessing sunrise along with birds chirping, whole walking area, morning prayer, beautiful flowers that have been bloomed everywhere. We saw colorful peacock with its dazzling feathers, Dhanwantari temple with divine and positive vibrations, sprinkler system which mimics rain, cool Breeze during the sunset when reading for evening prayer, my own little group of friends here who became an integral part are all done of evergreen memories that I would carry for life.
Standards here at Vaidyagrama are high with very well-maintained rooms, programs like Satsang, cooking class, cow pooja, group lunch, just to name a few. Would like to take a moment to thank the entire Vaidyagrama family for the care and service they had provided. Will be visiting frequently for health maintenance.

I came to Vaidyagrama recommended by my sister, & did not know what really to expect. The first few days were challenging with heat and food. But I don't know when Vaidyagrama became my home and the staff my family. I cannot express my gratitude to the doctors, therapists, housekeepers, and the kitchen staff for making my stay here so wonderfully pleasant. You get full circle treatment here, physical and spiritual. Everyone is extremely kind, caring for your well-being so genuinely and accommodating your every need.
Thank you for giving me an extraordinary experience, making my stay so comfortable. I met so many beautiful souls, created wonderful memories for a lifetime. Salute to all the doctors for their incredible knowledge and always eager to answer all your questions. I will miss Satsang. Special thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Anjali and Dr. Rose. Hope to see you all one day again.

understood to take care of my body and health and to slow down. It is not going to be easy but practice will make me perfect, hoping so. I can’t stop talking about the therapists’ motherly care and attention, & made my lifetime memorable feelings that I am going to carry in my life. Overall the
treatments went well and am slowly recovering, and the doctors and therapists took proper care for
my healing. I will surely come back for my second stay sooner. Life lessons are learnt with prayers and
Satsangs and can be followed calmly. Mostly making new friends and experiences, sharing with them was another exposure to us.
Thankful to the entire team Vaidyagrama family for their care and guidance.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Dr. Harikrishnan for consultation regarding my cervical neck pain. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the hospital facilities. They took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, treatment options and answered all my questions with patience and clarity. Dr. Rose, who is taking care of my treatment processes, remains accessible and proactive in managing my care. The therapist was equally attentive and compassionate, making me feel well cared for during my therapy. Thanks for the quality of care provided. I have seen significant improvements in my health. I would highly recommend Vaidyagrama Ayurveda. Will miss you all!

This time, I decided to stay for almost 6 weeks to give time to my body and mind to get stronger. Tomorrow I will go back home stronger and with more energy. Thanks to the extraordinarily good care I have been given.
This was my 3rd time in Vaidyagrama. I recommend this fantastic healing village where you will feel part of a family (doctors, therapists, cooking staff, and all the people who are taking care of this place). Everyone is truly caring about you, to help you reach better health. I will come back as regularly as possible to maintain good health. All my deep gratitude to the entire team! Love you all.

The takeaway from Vaidyagrama stay is huge. Of course, big case of take-home medicines too - but I'm not talking about that! Giving an experience on how our ancestors would have led their life.
More than healing, being disciplined - I liked a lot. I'm happy that my kids got a chance to spend some time without Wi-Fi, made new friends, many chit-chats on the stone bench with the good breeze, is going to be a lifetime memorable experience.
Finally, I'm returning with a belief that my issue will be solved once and for all. That's because of Dr. Vinod Govind and the excellent hospitalization by Dr. Rose and her crew. Appreciate all your help!

This journey was serendipitous, my dear Vaidyagrama family! I wouldn't have believed it if someone had told me that such profound changes could occur in just 13 days.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all the doctors, physicians, cooks, and every living being in this community. You all have opened your hearts to me and reminded me that we all are 're-members' of the universe. You have consistently shown love and healed us with your hands, your hearts, and through God. We are one.
Every single experience has deeply inspired me day by day. Dealing with healing has been a journey for my mind and soul. Thanks to this journey, I had the chance to hear the music of my inner soul. Mother India always accepts and heals, and during this time, I have learned to accept myself and let go of what no longer serves me.
One key aspect addressed here was digestion. All the treatments here have helped me digest not only physically, but also mentally and spiritually. I am leaving here with a bigger heart, and all of you will always be in my prayers. Until we meet again, thank you!

I came here with much anxiety, but was delighted to discover that most of my apprehensions were without basis. My sincere gratitude to the well-informed doctors, solicitous therapists, and courteous staff for making my stay beneficial and enjoyable! The ambience of the place and the meticulous attention to detail were striking. Thank you all… I can't write more because of damaged nerves in the right hand. Hope to see you all again!

Coming to Vaidyagrama was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have had Panchakarma treatment before at other hospitals, but coming here was the best thing that ever happened to me. I enjoyed every moment of my stay here, and if the Lord permits, I would like to come back again sometime in the future.
I have made so many amazing friends from all around the globe. No matter how many times I say thank you to everyone here at Vaidyagrama, it is not enough. To my two doctors, Dr. Harikumar and Dr. Nandana, and all the other doctors who helped me improve my health, thank you a million times. To the therapists, you guys are great; you all are God-sent people. Many times, I felt as though my mother was massaging my body. Even to the housekeeping team and laundry team, I say thank you a lot. And thank you all for the beautiful surprise party on my birthday. This will be very memorable.

I was advised by my school buddy Vikram to visit this place for the past few years. I have never thought that enrolling in a 14-day treatment program would change my life so much, especially regarding getting off my BP medication, which I have been taking for the past 10 years, and the medication for cholesterol for the past 14 months. I am happy to mention that I can slowly taper my anxiety medication too after the 14 days of treatment at Vaidyagrama. I didn’t expect this to happen; I wish I had done this much earlier. Like they say, better late than never. I am leaving so happy that I don't have to depend on these medications anymore.
The concoctions they formulate to heal are all herbal and safe to consume. The supporting staff, whether it’s the duty doctor, the pantry attendants, or the masseurs, is so oriented in what they do here. Everyone here in this village is so calm and composed.
I would like to thank my consultant Dr. Om Prakash, duty doctor Sajna S, Dr. Sajna, the masseurs, and the pantry attendants for taking care of me during my stay here. Last but not least, I wholeheartedly would like to thank Dr. Ramkumar for setting up this village, which is a boon for many. Keep it up!

It's a great experience at Vaidyagrama, and one of the many things that are really unforgettable throughout my life. The staff is all good and care very much. I felt really happy with the entire treatment and enjoyed the good environment. I will recommend Vaidyagrama to my friends and relatives for their treatment. I thank Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Nandana, and Dr. Sajna. I cannot forget 408 Illam 11.

Me (Businessman) and my wife (Academician) are based in Karur, Tamil Nadu, and did a 15-day treatment with Vaidyagrama. This period turned out to be deeply rejuvenating, inside and outside. The facility and its infrastructure set the right tones for a relaxing and soothing atmosphere. The fresh breeze, rains, and warm welcome from everyone in the staff made it a very comfortable stay.
Dr. Vinod Govind did a wonderful job with us right from diagnosis, treatments, and counselling. We felt safe with his guidance. The therapists Manju, Karthika, and Prasad cared for all our needs during our time here and also gave us the best attention during treatment sessions. This entire experience has been very unique to us but very much rooted in the Ayurveda traditions. It has certainly widened our mental and physical bandwidth for the days to come.
A suggestion would be to include a menu that can cater to the palate of the variety of visitors - including Tamil. May God bless abundantly the entire Vaidyagrama family!!! With lots of thanks.

Late to visit Vaidyagrama! Earlier, my friend Vikram Ramakrishnan was insisting for the last few years, and I finally made it this year. Only after reaching Vaidyagrama did I realize I should have been here much before. It is such a good place to rejuvenate your entire system. It's not just the medicines and therapy that made me happy; it’s the doctors, therapists, and everyone here who is so connected and committed to the institution. I wish them all very good luck!

Thanks and gratitude to Dr. Vinod, Dr. Aparna, and the supporting vaidyas for spending so much time with me, listening closely to every detail I was talking about, answering all my questions, making sure that everything happens properly in the background, and doing it all joyfully and with a sense of true care and compassion.
Thanks to all vaidyas and Medical Directors for giving us very insightful, authentic knowledge from the true ancient Ayurvedic teachings through the daily talks and Satsang. It was a big pleasure to be able to get to know all doctors more closely during these Satsangs as well.
I really enjoy and appreciate that I am constantly surrounded by beautiful Nature and that I could spend these 7 weeks in a quite joyful, open-minded atmosphere amongst staff and therapists who obviously love and enjoy their work.
I found the spiritual side of Vaidyagrama wonderful and important especially the morning and evening prayers as well as the many festival and spiritual events and poojas, which occurred regularly and help in mental healing as well. There are probably only a few places in the world of this quality and authenticity. May Vaidyagrama, the doctors, and staff thrive and help many more people to heal!!
Best wishes,

Dear Vaidyagrama family, I return to Vaidyagrama after 10 long years. The trees have grown, and the place is thriving, yet it remains unwavering in its dedication towards authentic Ayurvedic care. Special thanks to my team at Illam 3: Dr. Aparna ji, Dr. Vinod ji, Sruthi ji, Bindu ji, Aneesha ji, and Arunima ji for your breadth of knowledge, your attentiveness, your kindness, as well as to the myriad network of seen and unseen staff working together to make this place what it is today. While occasionally the delivery and consistency of services don't quite hit the mark, I do believe the intention is pure and there is a commitment towards continual improvement. Notwithstanding the physical and emotional challenges that come with Panchakarma, I have no doubt that yet again this experience will transform me.
It's not easy to stay true to a vision rooted in integrity and ethos when the world around us is going in a different direction. Congratulations to you all; may the Vaidyagrama vision continue to flourish. With love and thanks to you all!

To Vaidyagrama and anyone else who may be reading this, I have been looking for a cleanse and reset opportunity for many years. I knew if I could just get a month in a place that offers a restricted and scheduled environment with the proper guidance and nutrition, I could get the flush and restart I had been yearning for. Thanks to the advice and guidance of my wife,
I came to Vaidyagrama on 5/05/24 and 29 days later, I am literally a new man. I am the cleanest and clearest version of myself that I can remember, and I know it will only continue to get better from here. My deepest and most sincere gratitude and appreciation to this faculty and all who work here and make this opportunity possible! Special thanks to Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Aparna, Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Ramkumar, Lalu, and many others. This marks the beginning of a completely new narrative in my life, and I could not be more thankful or feel more blessed.
With great love,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
If I combine 3 emotions "peace, love, and care," then it becomes Vaidyagrama. My first visit, but as of now Vaidyagrama is the biggest hope for a tough phase my family is going through. I admire the attention and care provided to Ojas (my son) by Dr. Rose, Dr. Anjali, and Dr. Harikrishnan.
We will be coming again here, but I want to see a day when I visit here just to spend time with nice people staying here, rather than coming here for health issues.
Thank you, doctor, for the color pencils!
