TESTIMONIALS 2024
January 01, 2024
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

It was truly to be here. The Lectures & Satsangs were the highlights of the day. We have made so many friends during our stay & we all think we will be back here sometime next year.

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!!!
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 Ramadas 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 Ramadas- 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 Ramadas 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 Ramadas- 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.

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!

I can only say thank you… for building an institution with a soul, where care and nurture are inherent and natural in the DNA of the place. It’s rare to feel this in every individual, in the brick and mortar, and in the Nature around us. I have enjoyed the feeling of peace, almost reconnecting with the fundamentals of life. And witnessing the larger Vision unfold through community activities has been so satisfying. It's a community where I met so many doctors, staff, patients, and even peacocks, cats, and lizards! With every good wish for turning dreams into real actions, a very special shout out to Dr. Sajna for her sensitivity and understanding, to Dr. Harikumar for teaching me about "Ananda", to Sandhya for being meticulous and a great therapist, along with Praveena, Femila, Jyothika, Vijitha, and Saroja for treating & cleaning like worship.

I am deeply grateful to everyone at Vaidyagrama who took such good care of me and showed me so much love during my stay here. It is because of their affection and genuine concern that I responded so positively to the excellent treatment. The team of senior doctors and the doctors in charge, as well as the wonderful girls who provided my treatments, are all highly competent with years of experience. I can easily say that my stay here has been the highlight of my life in recent years, as Vaidyagrama has allowed me to slow down, reflect, and connect with my inner self.
My very special thanks to Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Sajna, Dr. Rose, Greeshma, Shiny, Vincy, Sandhya and all the other wonderful young girls for their love and warmth. Simply put, Vaidyagrama embraces you. It’s a home that heals both body and soul.

Thank you to everyone at Vaidyagrama for creating such a beautiful experience. My name is Shivani Awasthi. I stayed in Illam 10 for about 2 weeks. Being here is like staying in a little village where everyone feels like family. I have felt so cared for and listened to during my stay. There is no need to advocate for your care; care, kindness, and a desire to help are built into the way of life here. Everyone always has the loveliest smile and demeanour; even when passing by, everyone greets you with a smile and respect. My massage therapists and the girls who work in my Illam are some of the nicest people who love to share joy. The food we received, especially buttermilk (which is my favorite), is made with love and care. The people who set up the room every morning and evening go above and beyond. The doctors are very diligent and intelligent, working to find solutions for all ailments until one works. Thank you so much, Vaidyagrama, for building a beautiful community with enriching activities and beautiful, kind and loving people.

People are coming here from different parts of the world, so it will be great if the food is served with common interest. I will be visiting next time for the ambience that has helped my mental wellbeing.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
I visited Vaidyagrama in Jan 24 to see if this is a good place for my family, especially my daughter who is not used to the Ayurvedic system but was open to trying it. I connected with the place immediately and spent the next 3 months planning a trip. I was still nervous when I landed on June 17, but everything I have experienced has exceeded my expectations. The willingness of Dr. Om to work with a neurosurgeon to care for his team of doctors, the patience of the dining staff, and the courtesy of every support staff has been amazing. The morning chants, the beautiful temple, the goshala, the wonderful flora and fauna, the lovely peacocks, and the afternoon Satsang made every day meaningful and wholesome. The best part of the experience is the normality of every doctor and therapist in depth with the patients. I feel blessed to be part of the Vaidyagrama family for 2 weeks and I look forward to future visits.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
Thanks once again for providing us with a unique experience here. Last year we were here in August. So, within a year we are here again. The place is a spot that always heals your body, thoughts and mind in extraordinary ways.
In the age of modern medicine which only manages the disease, Ayurveda goes into the root cause of disease and cures the cause. The Nadi Pariksha is a unique diagnosis to find the dosa within our body.
Here Ayurveda along with Nature, prayer and Satvik food provide us a beautiful opportunity to be Punarnava (Be New Again)!

The lofty vision and mission of Dr. Ramkumar and his very efficient team of doctors have been quite an eye-opener for me. Everyone feels very welcome in this beautiful place reverberating with divine energy, love, friendliness and happiness even though people come here with their own set of physical and mental issues. Enjoyed the hospitality shown by the support staff - Sumathi and all the therapists especially, Bindu, Shruthi, and Shiny. Therapists Hema and Lakshmi too attended to me once. Every therapist is very courteous, and they follow instructions very well. I would also like to thank Anisha, Nisha, Manisha and Devayani for all their support. Dr.Ramanandan made both of us feel at ease and addressed every issue of ours without showing any signs of irritation despite us asking him the same question a couple of times. D.Aparna is a big source of support to us. They also addressed all our issues with a smiling face and with lots of patience. Would like to end with a huge feeling of gratitude for all the love and care showered upon us by every member of Vaidyagrama. Thank you, thank you, and once again thank you.

Vaidyagrama is a healing Village for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. I am a post-cancer treatment patient with very low immunity and metabolism with loads of side effects in my body like severe body pain, always feverish and inflammation too. I got relieved from my body pain within a week of treatments, which made me believe the treatment. Here in Vaidyagrama the doctors and team customized the treatments and therapies as per my body needs. My doctors Dr. Ramadas’ and Dr. Vinod’s guidance for my well-being is commendable. My heartfelt thanks to Dr. Vinod for his patience in listening to all my queries and giving me clarity to my doubts. Dr. Hima supported me when I was not well without even looking at the time frame of duty. Every time I needed a doctor or therapist, I had the freedom to be with the team at any time. My gratitude to all doctors and therapists, staff and the special space around me.

I feel blessed to be part of the Vaidyagrama family for 2 weeks and I look forward to future visits.
Thank you!

Dear Vaidyagrama,
Thanks once again for providing us with a unique experience here. Last year we were here in August. So, within a year we are here again. The place is a spot that always heals your body, thoughts and mind in extraordinary ways.
In the age of modern medicine which only manages the disease, Ayurveda goes into the root cause of disease and cures the cause. The Nadi Pariksha is a unique diagnosis to find the dosa within our body.
Here Ayurveda along with Nature, prayer and Satvik food provide us a beautiful opportunity to be Punarnava (Be New Again)!

The lofty vision and mission of Dr. Ramkumar and his very efficient team of doctors have been quite an eye-opener for me. Everyone feels very welcome in this beautiful place reverberating with divine energy, love, friendliness and happiness even though people come here with their own set of physical and mental issues. Enjoyed the hospitality shown by the support staff - Sumathi and all the therapists especially, Bindu, Shruthi, and Shiny. Therapists Hema and Lakshmi too attended to me once. Every therapist is very courteous, and they follow instructions very well. I would also like to thank Anisha, Nisha, Manisha and Devayani for all their support. Dr.Ramanandan made both of us feel at ease and addressed every issue of ours without showing any signs of irritation despite us asking him the same question a couple of times. D.Aparna is a big source of support to us. They also addressed all our issues with a smiling face and with lots of patience. Would like to end with a huge feeling of gratitude for all the love and care showered upon us by every member of Vaidyagrama. Thank you, thank you, and once again thank you.

Vaidyagrama is a healing Village for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. I am a post-cancer treatment patient with very low immunity and metabolism with loads of side effects in my body like severe body pain, always feverish and inflammation too. I got relieved from my body pain within a week of treatments, which made me believe the treatment. Here in Vaidyagrama the doctors and team customized the treatments and therapies as per my body needs. My doctors Dr. Ramadas’ and Dr. Vinod’s guidance for my well-being is commendable. My heartfelt thanks to Dr. Vinod for his patience in listening to all my queries and giving me clarity to my doubts. Dr. Hima supported me when I was not well without even looking at the time frame of duty. Every time I needed a doctor or therapist, I had the freedom to be with the team at any time. My gratitude to all doctors and therapists, staff and the special space around me.
Thank you!

Vaidyagrama has been the perfect place to do a complete reset and take care of my health. My doctor Harikrishnan and the team, including Dr. Anjali and Dr. Renjisha, have been thoroughly responsive with continuous monitoring of my health and well-being. The team of therapists transformed my daily treatments into supreme healing rituals. Thank you all. The daily Satsangs have been extremely informative. This is my first experience with Ayurveda, and I feel I have begun my journey to well-being in the most beautiful place. Thank you.

Our experience at Vaidyagrama over the past 28 days has been nothing short of transformative. Nestled amidst serene natural surroundings, this Ayurvedic healing center exudes a profound sense of peace and healing from the moment you arrive. The staff here are not just friendly, but incredibly knowledgeable—a sanctuary where each day brings a deeper connection with Nature and a renewed sense of well-being. Prayers, Satsangs, meals and pujas—every aspect of our stay has contributed to our overall health and happiness.
We are truly grateful for the opportunity to embark on this healing journey at Vaidyagrama. It is more than a place of recovery; it's a haven where ancient wisdom meets modern care, creating a space where healing feels natural and profound. Thank you to the entire team at VG for their dedication and warmth. We leave here feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and eager to continue our journey toward optimal health.

After significant research, I chose to come to Vaidyagrama for a short 7-day visit as an introduction to Ayurveda and for general detox. I felt connected from being picked up at the airport to the warm welcome at Vaidyagrama. The staff, the accommodation and the treatments are authentic, and the ambience is calming. Life feels real here. I loved the morning and evening prayers, the Satsangs, the gardeners and the wildlife, especially the beautiful peacocks. A most rejuvenating experience that I would recommend to others. Many thanks to Dr. Harikumar.

I came to Vaidyagrama on the recommendation of our well-wisher Geetha Mohandas. I arrived with left shoulder and knee pain. My shoulder pain has significantly reduced within three days of treatments. The treatment is good and the doctors are well-experienced. Dr. Abhiram is very caring and knowledgeable, and Dr. Harikrishnan provided insight into the causes of my pain, as well as spiritual and bodily connections. Dr. Abhiram has consistently followed up on my details.
Cons: Therapy service could be improved. I felt that there was some hesitation to make extra efforts to ensure comfort. A little more kindness would add more value to the service.
I will recommend this place to my friends and family.

The staff go out of their way to help and accommodate, the daily pujas are divine, and the environment is sublime. My doctors Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Vishaga are the best. The way they took care of me daily was splendid. I’m going to miss them. There is no place on Earth like Vaidyagrama! Must visit. I will be back again and again. Thank you for everything.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Healing is a deeply intuitive process – one that requires nourishment and taking responsibility. Thank you to every single person here. All of you collectively create the magic that is Vaidyagrama – a place where love and service triumph overall. To my dear Dr. Omprakash – who is the personification of joy and strength – for always sharing a smile and wisdom. To Dr. Sisira – for showing us what silent dedication is. To Dr. Mojin – for showing us what care and tenderness are. To all the therapists – who take care of us as if we are their own children. Cluster 5 is unlike anything I expected. Then again, I barely knew what healing was. Thank you for helping us understand how to listen to our bodies. This place is truly remarkable, and its magic comes from the sincerity of every person, plant and brick that lives here.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
When I arrived here, I was thinking of an ayurvedic center in a village – & it’s a village in an ayurvedic center! I didn’t notice any flowers amidst all the greenery, only to realize on day 2 that there are 250 roses blooming each day with a smile – it’s 250 employees! Great energy all day! Competency cures, but it’s the total environment that makes the treatment here holistic. My special gratitude to Dr. Omprakash and Dr. Mojin for their tireless dedication and focus on each stage of my treatment over 19 days. Everyone here, including the patients, make you feel like part of a family. Grateful always.
God bless,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
I must admit that I didn’t come here thinking it was a magical place that would heal or renew me. But to my surprise, it did work magic in a different aspect of my life. I’m not exactly sure if it is the ambience or the warm, welcoming people who surrounded me that caused this magic. However, as time went by, I realized that the Nature around here and the members of the Vaidyagrama family (be it housekeeping staff or doctors) work together in this healing process. It is all one big unit; every single person here does their part to the best of their ability to make sure the guest has the best memories to take home along with healing. I must thank Dr. Omprakash and Dr. Sreeji and all the duty doctors and therapists for their care and sensible approach. The experience was unlike anything I have come across before. I am so glad I spent a few days here. Thank you again!

My stay is coming to an end. I'm not sure if my English will be good enough to express what I'd like to, but I will do my best. I have been thinking of experimenting and discovering Ayurveda through Panchakarma treatment for several years, and I'm very glad I finally decided to do it. I'm very grateful to have done it here. As a patient, I deeply appreciate the natural, calm, and away-from-traffic environment. The caring staff (the physicians and therapists, as well as the room cleaners and all staff in general) were wonderful. I wasn’t expecting Satsangs, and that was a great surprise! I didn’t always feel the energy to attend them, but perhaps I will return to gain more knowledge of Ayurveda. I also liked starting my day with the morning prayers and poojas and finishing it with chanting. Overall, I feel very inspired by the spirit of Vaidyagrama—the will to achieve a paradigm shift where we change our views on the universe, Nature, and fellow beings.
Living a simple, good, healthy, and happy life with a strong sense of community extended to nearby villages is definitely what we need! With much love and appreciation. Special thanks to the Illam 2 team, except for some neighbor patients who didn’t realize the noise they were making.

It was an absolutely amazing experience staying here. I am deeply touched by everyone’s love, care and humility here. This place has taught me patience and discipline and, more importantly, to value everything we take for granted back home. It is commendable how you strive to truly stay in tune with Nature, grow your own food, medicines, recycle and reuse. I loved the Satsangs and gained so much knowledge, thanks to all the wonderful healers and teachers here. A big shout-out to Dr. Ram Kumar. Please start a YouTube channel - Your talks are amazing, and you have a wealth of knowledge. I truly felt in the presence of greatness around you.
I truly appreciate all the workers, cleaners, and kitchen staff who always go about their duties with a cheerful smile. God bless you all. I do hope to visit this beautiful place again with my family. You all are providing an invaluable service to your community. I am also very impressed by the community outreach programs and the charity you do. May God truly bless all of you, your families and all your endeavors. Much love to my family away from family!

I learned about Vaidyagrama through my friend Geetha Mohandas. She brought us friends here one day and showed us around. I decided to come and stay for treatment. I arrived on July 1st for a 21-days stay, and it was a fantastic experience. The greenery all around, the quiet surroundings, and the lovely bird songs made it more enjoyable. The doctors and therapists were very kind and caring. The food was very sattvic and good for the stomach. The prayers in the morning and evening were very soothing to the mind and soul. The temples are beautiful, and the daily poojas provide immense peace and solace. The entire staff is excellent—always polite and smiling. My special thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Abhiram, Dr. Renjisha and Dr. Anjali. My knee and back pain have considerably reduced, and I feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Thank you, Vaidyagrama!

All the therapists made me feel at home with their cheerful smiles and by always checking whether I was comfortable. Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Sreeji, Dr. Nandana and Dr. Prateek - all took very good care of me and explained every step of the treatment clearly. I also greatly appreciate the service provided by Hema Chechi, Greeshma, Arya and Lijiya. I will miss you all. God bless you all, and I hope to see you next year.

This is a wonderful, healing environment powered by a terrific, caring staff—from the excellent Doctors and massage specialists to the Reception and Accounting staff. It is impossible to say enough or to praise them highly enough. We had very restful, relaxed days and felt physically better within a short span of three days. We are quite sure that a longer stay would be even more beneficial. The food was exactly what we expected and just what we needed to make a lifestyle change. However, it would be nice if it tasted like traditional South Indian cuisine occasionally.
Thank you.

We can clearly see that every person here is committed to providing an authentic healing experience, and that is very much a part of the culture here.
With all the hustle in our work lives, our time at Vaidyagrama gave us an opportunity to appreciate and respect our own minds and bodies, eventually experiencing an environment that is conducive to the healing process. In the last couple of weeks we spent here, we are delighted to be leaving feeling light, cleansed, and in a happy mind space, with lots of learning. Our special thanks to Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Hari Kumar, Dr. Pavithra and Dr. Arun for giving us a personalized treatment plan and very good care.

I have spent six of the most challenging yet empowering weeks here, sometimes against my will, but all the while feeling the immense support of the Doctors, Directors, staff and therapists. I arrived at Vaidyagrama as a patient with no hope and as a victim of my condition, and after my extensive stay here, I am leaving with renewed faith in my healing and the knowledge of an entirely new paradigm of healthcare. From the caring and loving junior doctors and therapists who tolerated and even encouraged my pitiful attempts at conversing in Tamil, to the communal ambience of the dining hall, every aspect of Cluster 5 was a transformative experience. The people (and animals) are truly what make the place, not just the treatment. The special bonds I formed with other patients and therapists will always hold a place in my heart, along with the lessons each interaction taught me. To share our mutual suffering in an environment of hope and healing was such an honor, and I am forever indebted to the care I received at the hands of my therapists Greeshma akka, Kavitha akka, chechi and all the other lovely therapists. Dr. Om served as a constant beacon of hope, with his contagious joy and confidence and abundance of wisdom. The lectures from Dr. Ramkumar were fascinating and mind-expanding. Overall, while initially reluctant to philosophy, I am extremely happy and content with the lessons I learned and the treatment I received. See you next year.
P.S. – The flowerpot arrangements were the highlight of my days!

Dear VG family,
I truly enjoyed my stay here. You have created a healing village complete with positive temples, a goshala, communal kitchen, healing illams, beautiful gardens with dancing peacocks, and a spectacular view of the Western Ghats mountains. Waking up to the morning chants and prayers at Dhanwanthari Temple and Brahma Kamalam gave a blissful start to the day.
I am very grateful to the wonderful team that took care of me during my entire stay here. Thanks to the ever-cheerful, positive Dr. Omprakash, who has a great sense of humor and knowledge of Ayurveda. His daily visits combined spiritual wisdom with his diagnosis and gave us the assurance that we all could heal ourselves. The therapists are exceptionally kind, professional, and sincere, and kudos to VG for selecting the best and training them well. Dr. Ramkumar’s Satsangs and talks have been truly inspiring, and his message will stay with us forever. Thanks to the wonderful junior doctors Dr. Mojin, Dr. Sisira, Dr. Shyam, Dr. Dhanya, and Dr. Ardent. We leave VG with a lot of hope and belief that we can truly heal ourselves.

Vaidyagrama is a super special, sacred, healing Ayurvedic place set in an authentic natural setting with lush green foliage. It is also home to thousands of birds such as peacocks, who all reside in harmony. It has been a wonderful place to heal and detox my mind, body, and soul, and to recharge my batteries. Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for all the sincere care that I received during my long stay at Vaidyagrama.
I am very thankful to my Vaidyas, especially Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Aparna, as well as Dr. Rose, Dr. Hima, Dr. Ardent, Dr. Sreeji, and Dr. Anjali, for their dedication and support toward my recovery. Many thanks to all my cheerful therapists at Illam 4—Kalpana, Athira, Bindu, Vishnu Priya, and others—for their great attention and care.
I am so grateful and glad that I was able to stay here for 43 days to recover and heal a few months after my recent back surgery this year. I felt so at home with my new Vaidyagrama family, who I have become very fond of and consider like my own. Every day, I looked forward to the healthy, organic, delicious food and my herbal tea. I truly enjoyed Satsangs every day with some of the wise and knowledgeable Vaidyas, like Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Harikumar, and Dr. Om Prakash. Thank you!
Many thanks to Dr. Ramadas for the beautiful morning and evening chants and prayers every day. It was such a pleasure to wake up to the sounds of birds chirping and prayer bells every day. After returning home, I feel more confident and positive about handling my healing journey wisely. Thank you, Vaidyagrama team, for all your affection and support towards my health. I intend to return sometime next year and continue my healing journey. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

My stay is coming to an end. I'm not sure if my English will be good enough to express what I'd like to, but I will do my best. I have been thinking of experimenting and discovering Ayurveda through Panchakarma treatment for several years, and I'm very glad I finally decided to do it. I'm very grateful to have done it here. As a patient, I deeply appreciate the natural, calm, and away-from-traffic environment. The caring staff (the physicians and therapists, as well as the room cleaners and all staff in general) were wonderful. I wasn’t expecting Satsangs, and that was a great surprise! I didn’t always feel the energy to attend them, but perhaps I will return to gain more knowledge of Ayurveda. I also liked starting my day with the morning prayers and poojas and finishing it with chanting. Overall, I feel very inspired by the spirit of Vaidyagrama—the will to achieve a paradigm shift where we change our views on the universe, Nature, and fellow beings.
Living a simple, good, healthy, and happy life with a strong sense of community extended to nearby villages is definitely what we need! With much love and appreciation. Special thanks to the Illam 2 team, except for some neighbor patients who didn’t realize the noise they were making.

It was an absolutely amazing experience staying here. I am deeply touched by everyone’s love, care and humility here. This place has taught me patience and discipline and, more importantly, to value everything we take for granted back home. It is commendable how you strive to truly stay in tune with Nature, grow your own food, medicines, recycle and reuse. I loved the Satsangs and gained so much knowledge, thanks to all the wonderful healers and teachers here. A big shout-out to Dr. Ram Kumar. Please start a YouTube channel - Your talks are amazing, and you have a wealth of knowledge. I truly felt in the presence of greatness around you.
I truly appreciate all the workers, cleaners, and kitchen staff who always go about their duties with a cheerful smile. God bless you all. I do hope to visit this beautiful place again with my family. You all are providing an invaluable service to your community. I am also very impressed by the community outreach programs and the charity you do. May God truly bless all of you, your families and all your endeavors. Much love to my family away from family!

I learned about Vaidyagrama through my friend Geetha Mohandas. She brought us friends here one day and showed us around. I decided to come and stay for treatment. I arrived on July 1st for a 21-days stay, and it was a fantastic experience. The greenery all around, the quiet surroundings, and the lovely bird songs made it more enjoyable. The doctors and therapists were very kind and caring. The food was very sattvic and good for the stomach. The prayers in the morning and evening were very soothing to the mind and soul. The temples are beautiful, and the daily poojas provide immense peace and solace. The entire staff is excellent—always polite and smiling. My special thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Abhiram, Dr. Renjisha and Dr. Anjali. My knee and back pain have considerably reduced, and I feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Thank you, Vaidyagrama!

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Thank you so much for the great care and attention given to me during my three-week stay. All the therapists made me feel at home with their cheerful smiles and by always checking whether I was comfortable. Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Sreeji, Dr. Nandana and Dr. Prateek - all took very good care of me and explained every step of the treatment clearly. I also greatly appreciate the service provided by Hema Chechi, Greeshma, Arya and Lijiya. I will miss you all. God bless you all, and I hope to see you next year.

I came to Vaidyagrama on the recommendation of my friend and well-wisher. It was an extraordinary experience. I was suffering from neck and shoulder pain, and today is my 10th day. My problem is cured by 80%. This was a completely different experience of healing. If you love yourself, this place is a must-visit. I certainly recommend it to others. Thank you so much to Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Anjali and all the other doctors, as well as all the therapists and supporting team. I am looking forward to visiting this place again.

This is a wonderful, healing environment powered by a terrific, caring staff—from the excellent Doctors and massage specialists to the Reception and Accounting staff. It is impossible to say enough or to praise them highly enough. We had very restful, relaxed days and felt physically better within a short span of three days. We are quite sure that a longer stay would be even more beneficial. The food was exactly what we expected and just what we needed to make a lifestyle change. However, it would be nice if it tasted like traditional South Indian cuisine occasionally.
Thank you.

I am extremely grateful to everyone at Vaidyagrama for a wonderful and rejuvenating experience during the seven days I spent there. Special thanks to Dr. Hari Kumar, Dr. Sajna, Dr. Pavithra and Dr. Arun, who decided on a balanced treatment plan considering my health requirements. Thanks also to Aparna, who made the whole process seamless at Vaidyagrama. I wish everyone at Vaidyagrama the very best for the medical care and health services they provide. Looking forward to visiting Vaidyagrama for a longer period.

This is our third time at Vaidyagrama, and we are always made to feel at home with the exceptional care provided by the team of doctors, therapists, management and custodial staff. We can clearly see that every person here is committed to providing an authentic healing experience, and that is very much a part of the culture here.
With all the hustle in our work lives, our time at Vaidyagrama gave us an opportunity to appreciate and respect our own minds and bodies, eventually experiencing an environment that is conducive to the healing process. In the last couple of weeks we spent here, we are delighted to be leaving feeling light, cleansed, and in a happy mind space, with lots of learning. Our special thanks to Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Hari Kumar, Dr. Pavithra and Dr. Arun for giving us a personalized treatment plan and very good care.

I have spent six of the most challenging yet empowering weeks here, sometimes against my will, but all the while feeling the immense support of the Doctors, Directors, staff and therapists. I arrived at Vaidyagrama as a patient with no hope and as a victim of my condition, and after my extensive stay here, I am leaving with renewed faith in my healing and the knowledge of an entirely new paradigm of healthcare. From the caring and loving junior doctors and therapists who tolerated and even encouraged my pitiful attempts at conversing in Tamil, to the communal ambience of the dining hall, every aspect of Cluster 5 was a transformative experience. The people (and animals) are truly what make the place, not just the treatment. The special bonds I formed with other patients and therapists will always hold a place in my heart, along with the lessons each interaction taught me. To share our mutual suffering in an environment of hope and healing was such an honor, and I am forever indebted to the care I received at the hands of my therapists Greeshma akka, Kavitha akka, chechi and all the other lovely therapists. Dr. Om served as a constant beacon of hope, with his contagious joy and confidence and abundance of wisdom. The lectures from Dr. Ramkumar were fascinating and mind-expanding. Overall, while initially reluctant to philosophy, I am extremely happy and content with the lessons I learned and the treatment I received. See you next year.
P.S. – The flowerpot arrangements were the highlight of my days!

Dear VG family,
I truly enjoyed my stay here. You have created a healing village complete with positive temples, a goshala, communal kitchen, healing illams, beautiful gardens with dancing peacocks, and a spectacular view of the Western Ghats mountains. Waking up to the morning chants and prayers at Dhanwanthari Temple and Brahma Kamalam gave a blissful start to the day.
I am very grateful to the wonderful team that took care of me during my entire stay here. Thanks to the ever-cheerful, positive Dr. Omprakash, who has a great sense of humor and knowledge of Ayurveda. His daily visits combined spiritual wisdom with his diagnosis and gave us the assurance that we all could heal ourselves. The therapists are exceptionally kind, professional, and sincere, and kudos to VG for selecting the best and training them well. Dr. Ramkumar’s Satsangs and talks have been truly inspiring, and his message will stay with us forever. Thanks to the wonderful junior doctors Dr. Mojin, Dr. Sisira, Dr. Shyam, Dr. Dhanya, and Dr. Ardent. We leave VG with a lot of hope and belief that we can truly heal ourselves.
Love and thanks,

Vaidyagrama is a super special, sacred, healing Ayurvedic place set in an authentic natural setting with lush green foliage. It is also home to thousands of birds such as peacocks, who all reside in harmony. It has been a wonderful place to heal and detox my mind, body, and soul, and to recharge my batteries. Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for all the sincere care that I received during my long stay at Vaidyagrama.
I am very thankful to my Vaidyas, especially Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Aparna, as well as Dr. Rose, Dr. Hima, Dr. Ardent, Dr. Sreeji, and Dr. Anjali, for their dedication and support toward my recovery. Many thanks to all my cheerful therapists at Illam 4—Kalpana, Athira, Bindu, Vishnu Priya, and others—for their great attention and care.
I am so grateful and glad that I was able to stay here for 43 days to recover and heal a few months after my recent back surgery this year. I felt so at home with my new Vaidyagrama family, who I have become very fond of and consider like my own. Every day, I looked forward to the healthy, organic, delicious food and my herbal tea. I truly enjoyed Satsangs every day with some of the wise and knowledgeable Vaidyas, like Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Harikumar, and Dr. Om Prakash. Thank you!
Many thanks to Dr. Ramadas for the beautiful morning and evening chants and prayers every day. It was such a pleasure to wake up to the sounds of birds chirping and prayer bells every day. After returning home, I feel more confident and positive about handling my healing journey wisely. Thank you, Vaidyagrama team, for all your affection and support towards my health. I intend to return sometime next year and continue my healing journey. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Vaidyagrama has given a lot to us. It is a very special place. All the doctors, therapists and staff were helpful and supportive. This place is a real blessing. We are planning to keep coming. The care of Dr Vishagalakshmi was excellent and warm at the same time. We felt we were so blessed to have her as our doctor, she took care of every need, and she was 100 percent committed to her duties. We felt so grateful to Dr. Ramanandan. All the vaidyas we felt, put all their hearts into their commitment to educate us during Satsangs. The prayer is also a consecrated time for the Vaidyagrama family life. It adds to the healing process making it even more wholesome. We are going home with our hearts open, filled with love and gratitude. So grateful to be part of this family. Love and blessings.

Dear Vaidyagrama doctors and therapists,
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the unwavering support and exceptional care you have provided us. Your dedication and commitment to our well-being have made a profound impact on our journey towards healing and restoration. The environment you have created, harmoniously integrating the basic five elements, offers a sanctuary of healing for our minds and souls. It is truly a remarkable space that fosters an atmosphere of serenity and rejuvenation.
After undergoing Panchakarma treatment, I have experienced significant detoxification, with symptoms such as itchiness and breathing irregularities indicating that my body is expelling toxins and utilizing its own natural intelligence to heal. I am sincerely grateful for the invaluable support provided by the doctors during night calls. Your readiness to assist, even at the most inconvenient times, speaks volumes about your dedication and compassion.
The Satsang sessions and activities you conducted have been immensely beneficial, offering us valuable information on how to better care for our bodies and minds, while also fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. I am looking forward to the positive impact of the three-month medication or new lifestyle you have recommended. I believe that following your guidance will lead to continued health and revitalization as if we are starting anew.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your exceptional care and support. Your efforts have not only facilitated our physical healing, but also given us the tools to maintain balance and health in our lives.
With heartfelt gratitude,

From the pep talks with Dr. Renjisha and Dr. Abhiram to the therapists Shynimol, Manju, Aneesha, Anumol, and Lakshmi Chechy, I feel their sincere love and service. I am encouraged to continue working on my health moving forward. Last, but not the least, I owe my deepest gratitude to Dr. Ramkumar and Dr. Harikrishnan, who have monitored and guided me through my illness. I will be back and look forward to continuing my healing journey with renewed energy. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Until we meet again.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
I had a very good experience here. They treated us very well. I came and was admitted to the hospital on an emergency basis. They started the treatment and explained about the medicines which they are getting for the same as awesome. Dr. Vinod is such a nice person to explain our disease and the root cause for the same. Dr. Nandana was very good at explaining our doubts about the treatment. Dr. Vishaga was another nice person who always filled the space in the team. A very big thanks to Dr. Ramadas. He is such a nice person. I have not seen anything like this in a doctor. And I very much appreciate each and every therapist for their wonderful patience while doing treatment. The housekeeping staff is so good here. I once again thank the Vaidyagrama team.

Dr. Ramanandan, I owe a ton of sincere gratitude for caring for me so selflessly and dedicatedly. Dr. Sreeji, Dr. Vishaga, Dr. Nandana – Thank you for keeping a close watch on me, even late into the night. Prateek, Binil, and Vinod were all dedicated therapists and doctors who took a keen interest in my well-being. Thanks a ton.

Vaidyagrama's approach to service and giving should be out for me. My days just flew by. There are a lot of things to do alongside, giving our body rest. We feel like Vaidyas are magicians and can understand much deeper issues than what might be only visible on the surface. I enjoyed my stay and am very grateful for what I have received.
Dr. Ardent, Dr. Hima and Dr. Ramanandan were all excellent and gave us much time. I needed to discuss my health issues. My 13-year-old son was equally given treatment and well advised on to do's /don'ts.
Thank you very much. Best wishes.

I hope to return many more times to heal my mind and body. I pray that the Vaidyagrama doctors and team remain happy and healthy and continue to serve many more. God bless.

I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional care and support I received during my stay at Vaidyagrama. The dedication and professionalism demonstrated by every one of you—doctors, therapists and support staff—have been truly remarkable. The personalized attention, holistic treatment, and genuine concern for my well-being have contributed significantly to the recovery of my body and mind. Your unwavering commitment to the healing process is commendable, and I am incredibly grateful for the warm and nurturing environment you provided.
I especially enjoyed participating in the Satsangs and interacting with doctors and like-minded individuals every afternoon. The flow of spirituality and detoxification through daily rituals at the temple provided much-needed relief for my mind and body. I thoroughly enjoyed the daily morning and evening prayers as well as the Vasti treatments. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all my doctors, led by Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Pavithra, Dr. Arun, and Dr. Sajna S., for their outstanding work. I would also like to especially mention the Priest at the temple, Rajnish Vyas, for his excellent work. Additionally my extreme gratitude goes to therapists Sajith and Biju, as well as the housekeeping staff in my block. Thank you once again for all your hard work and attention. I am leaving Vaidyagrama not just with improved health, but with fond memories and a sense of care and compassion.

A very big, big thanks for everything you have done for me. Though my stay was short and a roller coaster ride, I want to express my gratitude and share warmth and hugs with everyone. You addressed every single issue as much as you could and as quickly as possible.
Special mention to Dr. Nandana, Dr. Vishakha, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Sreeji, and Dr. Ramadas. All of them took good care of me, were very sweet, and understood me, guiding me through this short process of my healing journey. Thank you so much, doctors. My meeting with Dr. Ramaprasad was exceptionally amazing, with so much to learn from and enjoy in life. Thank you, Sir. Dr. Poorna was very kind, understanding, and helpful. My special and important mention is about the therapists here—they are extremely sweet, and without them, the treatment wouldn’t have ever been complete. I wish all the Vaidyagrama family love, peace, and health.

This is my 3rd time here at Vaidyagrama. Dr Rose's smile and care put me at ease from day 1. Her attention to detail is something I admire. She answered all my questions patiently even the quirky ones. This time my treatments were changed a few times as my body could not accept the first set of treatments. Dr. Rose came and checked on me multiple times and made sure that the new treatment was something my body accepted. The young ladies at the therapy sessions were just amazing. Indu, Bala, Kartika, Hema, Kalpana, and others who stepped in, all had a pleasant smile and were super professional. They were gentle and yet firm in their grip and took care of me like I was their very own. I have a better understanding of my body and hope to come back better me soon!

I have the deepest gratitude and respect for every single person on the Vaidyagrama team.
Every single effort for the attention to my care was way beyond what I could have imagined, every day have I discouraged something new about myself and others and our collective resilience for healing and growing. And with the kind of nurturing support offered here, I have felt I have been able to level up to a greater sense of awareness and presence. I feel divinely guided to have found my way here. Part of the journey I was meant to have. I expect the impact of my 28 days here will continue to be revealed and experienced in the next few months. I look forward to seeing that!
My deepest thank you to all who serve here!!

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Thank you for looking after us so well over the last 21 days. When we arrived, we were unsure if we would complete 21 days without our usual communication devices. Today, we are leaving fully rejuvenated and with a positive mindset for a better life ahead. I would like to thank Dr. Ramanand, Dr. Sajna C., and Dr. Sajna S. for their personal attention during our stay. The therapists Sandhya and Vaishnavi treated us like family, and their healing hands helped us recover faster.

It's been an exceptional experience at Vaidyagrama. We were made to feel completely at home by the entire team of care given. Dr. Ramanandan's treatment and caring attitude is very enduring and nurturing. It is very comforting to have smiling, affectionate, energetic, patient, professional, and ever-obliging doctors like Dr Rose and Dr Ardent to take care of us. All the therapists and supporting staff made our stay very memorable.
We pray to Almighty to bless all of them with health, happiness, well-being, and peace of mind.

This is our first visit to Vaidyagrama. It was totally good. The method of diagnosis without any scan or other tests. The way doctors get the inputs, their method of analysis and their patience in hearing the patient's complaints. The doctor and patient ratio. A doctor is attached to a small number of patients. Follow-up after and before treatments. Satvik food. Clean environment without air pollution and dust pollution. The rainwater harvesting system is good. Solar panels for energy are good. Nourishing for green energy is good. For nourishment to the mind, lot of spiritual programs and satsangs are very useful.
The simplicity of doctors and their soft nature. Behaviours of subordinate staff are very well. Goshala needs some improvement. We are satisfied with the treatment; we feel we got a 70% cure and hope it will be 100% when we complete the dose of medicines.

Vaidyagrama has given a lot to us. It is a very special place. All the doctors, therapists and staff were helpful and supportive. This place is a real blessing. We are planning to keep coming. The care of Dr Vishagalakshmi was excellent and warm at the same time. We felt we were so blessed to have her as our doctor, she took care of every need, and she was 100 percent committed to her duties. We felt so grateful to Dr. Ramanandan. All the vaidyas we felt, put all their hearts into their commitment to educate us during Satsangs. The prayer is also a consecrated time for the Vaidyagrama family life. It adds to the healing process making it even more wholesome. We are going home with our hearts open, filled with love and gratitude. So grateful to be part of this family. Love and blessings.

Dear Vaidyagrama doctors and therapists,
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the unwavering support and exceptional care you have provided us. Your dedication and commitment to our well-being have made a profound impact on our journey towards healing and restoration. The environment you have created, harmoniously integrating the basic five elements, offers a sanctuary of healing for our minds and souls. It is truly a remarkable space that fosters an atmosphere of serenity and rejuvenation.
After undergoing Panchakarma treatment, I have experienced significant detoxification, with symptoms such as itchiness and breathing irregularities indicating that my body is expelling toxins and utilizing its own natural intelligence to heal. I am sincerely grateful for the invaluable support provided by the doctors during night calls. Your readiness to assist, even at the most inconvenient times, speaks volumes about your dedication and compassion.
The Satsang sessions and activities you conducted have been immensely beneficial, offering us valuable information on how to better care for our bodies and minds, while also fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. I am looking forward to the positive impact of the three-month medication or new lifestyle you have recommended. I believe that following your guidance will lead to continued health and revitalization as if we are starting anew.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your exceptional care and support. Your efforts have not only facilitated our physical healing, but also given us the tools to maintain balance and health in our lives.
With heartfelt gratitude,

The staff here have treated me like one of their own, and I am filled with love and gratitude for each one of them. From the pep talks with Dr. Renjisha and Dr. Abhiram to the therapists Shynimol, Manju, Aneesha, Anumol, and Lakshmi Chechy, I feel their sincere love and service. I am encouraged to continue working on my health moving forward. Last, but not the least, I owe my deepest gratitude to Dr. Ramkumar and Dr. Harikrishnan, who have monitored and guided me through my illness. I will be back and look forward to continuing my healing journey with renewed energy. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Until we meet again.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
I had a very good experience here. They treated us very well. I came and was admitted to the hospital on an emergency basis. They started the treatment and explained about the medicines which they are getting for the same as awesome. Dr. Vinod is such a nice person to explain our disease and the root cause for the same. Dr. Nandana was very good at explaining our doubts about the treatment. Dr. Vishaga was another nice person who always filled the space in the team. A very big thanks to Dr. Ramadas. He is such a nice person. I have not seen anything like this in a doctor. And I very much appreciate each and every therapist for their wonderful patience while doing treatment. The housekeeping staff is so good here. I once again thank the Vaidyagrama team.

I am filled with immense gratitude for this place and the entire team who work so hard and are so kind to everyone.

One month in this serene and nourishing paradise can bring so much calmness and peace to one’s body and mind. Not to forget the spiritually uplifting talks by all the doctors. Dr. Ramanandan, I owe a ton of sincere gratitude for caring for me so selflessly and dedicatedly. Dr. Sreeji, Dr. Vishaga, Dr. Nandana – Thank you for keeping a close watch on me, even late into the night. Prateek, Binil, and Vinod were all dedicated therapists and doctors who took a keen interest in my well-being. Thanks a ton.

Vaidyagrama's approach to service and giving should be out for me. My days just flew by. There are a lot of things to do alongside, giving our body rest. We feel like Vaidyas are magicians and can understand much deeper issues than what might be only visible on the surface. I enjoyed my stay and am very grateful for what I have received.
Dr. Ardent, Dr. Hima and Dr. Ramanandan were all excellent and gave us much time. I needed to discuss my health issues. My 13-year-old son was equally given treatment and well advised on to do's /don'ts.
Thank you very much. Best wishes.

Therapists Shiny and Aneesha did everything possible to make me comfortable with their treatment and procedures. The moment I met Dr. Ramadas, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Dhanya and Dr. Abhiram were very patient and attentive throughout my stay, answering all my questions with a smile. Special thanks to Dr. Anjali for her care during the Vasti procedure. I hope to return many more times to heal my mind and body. I pray that the Vaidyagrama doctors and team remain happy and healthy and continue to serve many more. God bless.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional care and support I received during my stay at Vaidyagrama. The dedication and professionalism demonstrated by every one of you—doctors, therapists and support staff—have been truly remarkable. The personalized attention, holistic treatment, and genuine concern for my well-being have contributed significantly to the recovery of my body and mind. Your unwavering commitment to the healing process is commendable, and I am incredibly grateful for the warm and nurturing environment you provided.
I especially enjoyed participating in the Satsangs and interacting with doctors and like-minded individuals every afternoon. The flow of spirituality and detoxification through daily rituals at the temple provided much-needed relief for my mind and body. I thoroughly enjoyed the daily morning and evening prayers as well as the Vasti treatments. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all my doctors, led by Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Pavithra, Dr. Arun, and Dr. Sajna S., for their outstanding work. I would also like to especially mention the Priest at the temple, Rajnish Vyas, for his excellent work. Additionally my extreme gratitude goes to therapists Sajith and Biju, as well as the housekeeping staff in my block. Thank you once again for all your hard work and attention. I am leaving Vaidyagrama not just with improved health, but with fond memories and a sense of care and compassion.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
A very big, big thanks for everything you have done for me. Though my stay was short and a roller coaster ride, I want to express my gratitude and share warmth and hugs with everyone. You addressed every single issue as much as you could and as quickly as possible.
Special mention to Dr. Nandana, Dr. Vishakha, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Sreeji, and Dr. Ramadas. All of them took good care of me, were very sweet, and understood me, guiding me through this short process of my healing journey. Thank you so much, doctors. My meeting with Dr. Ramaprasad was exceptionally amazing, with so much to learn from and enjoy in life. Thank you, Sir. Dr. Poorna was very kind, understanding, and helpful. My special and important mention is about the therapists here—they are extremely sweet, and without them, the treatment wouldn’t have ever been complete. I wish all the Vaidyagrama family love, peace, and health.

This is my 3rd time here at Vaidyagrama. Dr Rose's smile and care put me at ease from day 1. Her attention to detail is something I admire. She answered all my questions patiently even the quirky ones. This time my treatments were changed a few times as my body could not accept the first set of treatments. Dr. Rose came and checked on me multiple times and made sure that the new treatment was something my body accepted. The young ladies at the therapy sessions were just amazing. Indu, Bala, Kartika, Hema, Kalpana, and others who stepped in, all had a pleasant smile and were super professional. They were gentle and yet firm in their grip and took care of me like I was their very own. I have a better understanding of my body and hope to come back better me soon!

I have the deepest gratitude and respect for every single person on the Vaidyagrama team.
Every single effort for the attention to my care was way beyond what I could have imagined, every day have I discouraged something new about myself and others and our collective resilience for healing and growing. And with the kind of nurturing support offered here, I have felt I have been able to level up to a greater sense of awareness and presence. I feel divinely guided to have found my way here. Part of the journey I was meant to have. I expect the impact of my 28 days here will continue to be revealed and experienced in the next few months. I look forward to seeing that!

Thank you for looking after us so well over the last 21 days. When we arrived, we were unsure if we would complete 21 days without our usual communication devices. Today, we are leaving fully rejuvenated and with a positive mindset for a better life ahead. I would like to thank Dr. Ramanand, Dr. Sajna C., and Dr. Sajna S. for their personal attention during our stay. The therapists Sandhya and Vaishnavi treated us like family, and their healing hands helped us recover faster. Jothika, Jithina, Abhirami, and Lince brightened our mornings and nights with their smiles and soothing foot massages. All the therapists, including Bindhumol, Hema, Abhirami, Srishma, and the wonderful supervisor trainee, made every effort to ensure we received the treatment we needed.

Follow-up after and before treatments. Satvik food. Clean environment without air pollution and dust pollution. The rainwater harvesting system is good. Solar panels for energy are good. Nourishing for green energy is good. For nourishment to the mind, lot of spiritual programs and satsangs are very useful.

2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022 and my 8th visit is September 2024. Seven times and counting - no years of itch, no fatigue of place. Yes to gratitude, yes to heightened emotional value for what life offers me and for that, I thank you continuously. Dr Ramkumar for your Vision of Vaidyagrama. Dr Ramanandan - you have continued to build your team - younger doctors, but so confident and so secure with their advice. Dr Aparna and Dr Ardent -You were both truly special. My gorgeous therapists - each one from Bindu to Athira, to Vishnupriya who so lovingly tried to put me to sleep with her gentle massage. To the ever-smiling Devi who cleaned my room each day - your housekeeping is impeccable. Lastly, thanks for all the above that allow me the goodness of this wonderful place.

Hi Vaidyagrama family, (Doctors, therapists, reception, accounts and kitchen staff)….
I can't say thank you enough time for all the care & pampering you have provided me over the last 4 weeks. I came in as a sick person (physically & mentally) and can say that I didn't know that this new Saket 2.0 was ever possible! I am bouncing with energy, have no mental fog, no body ache. I am a new me!
This was only possible because of all vaidyagrama that supported me. Today is my last day and while I am happy that I will see my family in the US, I am very sad that I am saying goodbye to my new family. Please know that I have huge love and gratitude for each of you.
Some of you I have personally met and thanked, but there are many more who made this experience possible for me while staying in the background. My salute, my pranams to all of them as well.
I am taking a piece of Vaidyagrama with me and would treat it with some tenderness and affection that you all treat the patients here. Thank you again!
Hugs with love,

Vaidyagrama feels like my home-away-from-home. Thank you to everyone here who has contributed to this heaven. I want to thank Dr Ramanandan, Dr Aparna, Dr Ardent and also the Vision of Dr Ramkumar. Thanks to therapists Bindu, Athira, Vishnupriya for their fabulous treatments. Thanks to all the people who work behind the scenes to make their place look and feel fabulous.
If there is one suggestion that I would like to make humbly, it is that a little attention is to be paid to the towels, i.e., smell, and it should be changed regularly. Thank you always for everything.

My stay at Vaidyagrama has been fairly short (5 days). In this short period, the experience I had was truly wonderful. From the welcome at the Reception to each interaction with doctors and staff, I felt the care, patience, politeness and willingness to provide support.
The facility layout is fantastic, providing the calm and serene environment that supported the treatment. The interactive sessions and prayers were all conducted very well.
One small suggestion - please provide flasks where the drinking water remains hot. The current ones don't retain heat for more than 30 minutes.
I would like to thank Dr Ramanandan, Dr Hima, Dr Aparna and all the staff who were behind the scenes to make Vaidyagrama an amazing place. Special thanks to Dr Ramanandan and Dr Hima for the attention and care provided to me.

Vaidyagrama is an amazing place for authentic ayurveda treatment. Dr Sreeji and Dr Ramadas have been my biggest support and fantastic Doctors’ team that I came across; they have tremendous patience, kindness and knowledge. The treatment has helped me a whole lot in a short time of 6 days. The therapists’ team including Hema, Greeshma and Arya are extremely good and hardworking. They follow the doctors’ instructions for perfection.
This place feels like a resort and not a hospital. As a first-timer I did not know what to expect but I am so happy. I request to have some entertainment like board games, puzzles, or different kinds of music. An emergency vehicle needs to be available for patients. It was a great stay, treatment and environment.

Dear Vaidyagrama, It was again a warm welcome for me here. This is my 3rd visit. I love this place like anything in this world. It’s really blessed to have a place like this. My doctors - Dr.Ramanandan , Dr Sreeji were amazing. And my dearest Dr Vishaga was always there to check me doing my daily rounds and helping me in my exercise and keep motivating me fully throughout my journey. I really enjoyed my stay here. I love the people here. My therapists Shyni, Nisha, Greeshma, Arya were also amazing.

Vaidyagrama… Even the sound of your name evokes a deep sense of peace and contentment in my heart. I am grateful to express that I have found you, my Vaidyagrama, my community, my almost parallel universe, my spiritual family. So much gratitude for the Vision of Dr Ramkumar - the Icha, Jnana, Karma of all the people here!
The ever smiling faces of Dr Hima, Dr Rose, Unnimaya, Arunima, Femila, Kalpana - this time and other last time. My dearest Dr Anupama, Dr Ramanandan and my new inspiration Dr Om Prakash, Dr Vinod. Too many to name. All of you remain in my heart much after I have left. Thank you, small words but meaningful.

The 21 days we spent here in Vaidyagrama rejuvenated not only our physical body, but also our mental outlook. Everywhere around you, there are always smiling faces and kind enquiries - making sure that our stay is comfortable.
VG's concern for conservation of resources in itself is a lesson for us to spread the messages of "Preservation of Nature” across the globe. Spiritual chanting (morning and evening) elevates our mind and also the satsangs and talks on a spectrum of subjects. Celebration of festivals and cultural activities like the one after group lunch promotes the concept of brotherhood. Garden walk, Orientation, Cow pooja, Ayurveda Cooking class - the endless variety make sure your time is well spent.
Our pranams to all Medical, Paramedical and other staff who silently march forward with a sense of duty and devotion. We take leave with an energised body and mind.

This personal investment by the staff in taking care of my needs and going above and beyond in doing so has made my stay here very comfortable and relaxed. I would like to specifically thank Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Abhiram and all the people responsible for my treatment. This has indeed been a phenomenal experience for me.

Vaidyagrama…Beauty and dedication to incorporate Ayurveda into everyone's lifestyle is beyond admirable. From every staff member to every doctor here, we felt their welcoming and warm presence since day one. After having spent eight days here, we adapted so well to this loving environment that now it feels wrong to leave so early. Nonetheless, we leave vaidyagrama with a clearer mind, a healthier body and most importantly, a happy heart. Our sincere gratitude towards each and every person we met and all the companions we made along the way. Our kindest regards will always remain for the fantastic doctors and all staff members here.

I am coming to Vaidyagrama for the first time, for a reason. My friend recommended this place, and I had a wonderful time and treatment. Everyone here always wears a smile on their face, and it is very heart touching. I am very thankful to my doctors Dr Ramanandan, Dr Ardent, Dr Hima, Dr Rose and Dr Aparna for the attention and care provided to me. They were very helpful and always answered my questions with a beautiful smile. Thanks to Dr Ramkumar for building this beautiful and serene place. Thanks to all doctors, therapists, Geetha ji, office staff, housekeeping staff, cooking staff - for making my stay ever memorable. I will definitely miss my Vaidyagrama family, friends and my favourite common area near reception. Going back to my place with a rejuvenated body and clear mind.
My sincere thanks to everyone. Special thanks to my energetic therapist Unnimaya - she is very good, Femila, Kalpana are very good too. Love you all.

It is clear that those of us who have come back have left behind what is sinful; we can be transformed through our contact with all of you. It is working!

I came here expecting 2-3 weeks of living in extreme conditions and I was quite nervous if I would be able to complete the course. But the minute I arrived, I fell in love with the place and the people. It was a great opportunity for me to feel like I am living in harmony with Nature - not just because of the greenery but because of the way of life, preparation of food, minimalism.
I am amazed by how sustainability is at the very core of each brick, each aspect of vaidyagrama. I was surprised to find out that it is a zero-waste campus without any plastic usage. The staff and therapists are very friendly and professional. The hygiene and cleanliness of the place is also positive.
I came here with gut, knee and mental health issues & I feel I have improved about 50-60%. The time and ambience I had at vaidyagrama to reflect on values and purpose of life, has been really meaningful. I was a workaholic before coming here. I calculated happiness on the basis of my success, achievements and how busy I was at work. My time at Vaidyagrama helped me realise that work is only one small part of life and there is so much more to life than a successful work life. Another realisation I had was that food is medicine - this is so true !!
I have understood the importance of eating mindfully and caring for your body.
Dr. Renjisha and others were very caring and ensured my comfort at all times. Once I leave I will be missing my time here.
Only feedback I have where I feel there is scope for improvement is the treatment of mental health issues. While I understand ayurveda treats mind and body overall, I felt that importance given to the mind was much less than the importance given to the body. This is my personal experience, although I'm sure others have had good experiences in terms of mental health.
Doctors can be given special training on psychological and psychiatric issues as I felt. They should know about the difference between depression and personality disorder and just regular sadness.
My parents had to convince me to try vaidyagrama for the first time and I came after a lot of hesitation, but I am glad I did and I look forward to coming again.
Thank you all for everything.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
This was my first visit to Vaidyagrama, and I am happy to share that it exceeded all my expectations. The tranquil and serene natural environment facilitated a much-needed healing experience. The 19 days seemed to fly by, leaving me incredibly grateful to the entire staff—doctors, therapists, cleaners, chefs, gardeners, receptionists, and many more. Each person is dedicated to providing support, and their commitment is truly evident in the level of care I received. I felt genuinely well taken care of at Vaidyagrama, and I am certain I will return. If any of you visit San Diego, USA, feel free to contact me; I would be happy to host.
With deepest gratitude,

Thanks to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Rose and the team and their personal care. For example, every day you are asked if you have any fresh medical complaints. The housekeeping leading to squeaky clean rooms, common areas and therapy rooms. In our case, food that did not leave us, craving for more, though it was as prescribed.
The satsangs in the afternoon were very informative and questions were answered, especially by Dr Ramkumar. My co-patients, meeting and socialising times and exchanging notes, forming a virtual community. Last but not the least terrific outcomes for our medical complaints. Laundry services were good. Special thanks to Dr Rose for her constant attention and pleasant presence.
Suggestions - A little more care and aggression required to rid the treatment rooms of mosquitoes. The toilets do not flush completely. Bed covers need a makeover, maybe pastel shades. The prayer rooms need to be a lot tidier.

As always, the care of the doctors and therapists is very good. I can only make a suggestion. The mosquitoes this time have been very bad, rat urine smell every morning near the mandapam and sometimes outside the therapy rooms. I am grateful to all of VG!

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
I came to this place a little apprehensive about the quality of care, cleanliness, food, the approach of the doctors and staff, and the property itself, located in an idyllic place near a little-known area called Velanthavalam outside of Coimbatore. However, all that dissolved the moment I entered the campus on day one. We were welcomed by rain, a cool breeze, and lush greenery all around, which captivated us.
I appreciate this contemporary concept of a holistic Ayurvedic healing system, without losing the traditional approach. The Vaidyagrama team works cohesively, with happy and cheerful faces all around, which is unlike other establishments.
I express my deepest gratitude for the tireless dedication and compassionate care provided by all the doctors, therapists, nurses, supporting staff, and reception. A special mention goes to Dr. Pavithra, who took excellent care of us.
Some suggestions:
An intensive care ambulance with a driver is essential. The driver could be a multitasking person who can assist with other tasks when not driving. This is crucial, as I experienced a delay in transferring my wife from Vaidyagrama to a nearby hospital, which took almost two hours of waiting time. Imagine if it had been an emergency!
The presence of street dogs is also a concern. The other day, I saw someone walking with a cane, and when I inquired, she told me that she was chased by dogs, and one of them almost bit her!
Despite these concerns, I believe Vaidyagrama will continue to shine with each new experience. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. Bye!

As I complete and go back home today, thank you. I want to mention a special thanks to Dr Ramadas who guided me to this place of healing….

Really, we plan here for our next visit too.

Special thanks to Dr. Om Prakash for teaching me Pranayama to Improve my breathing. Dr. Ramanandan was our Medical Director. He is a wonderful and knowledgeable person.

We would like to appreciate the care and healing during our stay. Every individual from the doctors, therapists, support staff were professional, compassionate and attentive. We thank the time and efforts taken by the doctors to explain the treatments in depth and to guide us through this healing journey with dedication.
Special thanks to Dr Harikrishnan, who patiently explained and answered all our queries. We would like to thank Dr Aparna for the care and encouragement during our stay. The therapists Bindu, Athira, and Unnimaya deserve a special mention.
We would like to thank Dr Ramkumar for creating this facility - the holistic approach to health that your hospital upholds is amazing. The personalised treatment plans, authentic ayurvedic therapies, the nourishing meals and the serene atmosphere created by Dr Ramkumar is fabulous.
We leave this facility feeling much more healthy, balanced and rejuvenated. Thank you once again for your dedication and support. Not to mention, we enjoyed all the poojas at the temple.

I would like to thank everyone who helped me achieve my healing. Very special thanks to Dr Ramadas, Dr Nandana, Dr Vinod, Dr Vishaga and all my therapists; without you this treatment would not have been possible. Thanks to the housekeeping staff, the kitchen staff, for all the care and good Satvik food.

I have truly enjoyed my time at Vaidyagrama. The doctors Dr Ramanandan, Dr Aparna have been great. The ease with which I could share thoughts, apprehensions, even concerns - was just comforting. The therapists in cluster 2 are all fabulous - Special mention to Athira, Indu. The housekeeping team goes about quietly doing their work, all in all a great experience.
I hope to benefit from the medication which I have for 3 months - an annual reboot is a good one given for my lifestyle. I know I will be back.
Some suggestions - Wi-Fi connectivity in common areas can be of a better quality, despite paying, I've struggled. Some thought of dealing with mosquitoes in the therapy rooms, the rooms (dhoop to be done periodically if that helps). The jaalis in the sit-out are a blessing. Love it. A bedside lamp for someone to diffuse light in the room would be great, instead of having the bulbs too strong for a certain time of night/ morning. Some differences in the approach to food - do things without coconut sometimes, especially for those of us who come from outside of South India. - This can be done without compromising on Ayurvedic principles behind food/cooking.
I will be back! and will send friends. Best wishes for all the good work you all are doing.

Our stay at Vaidyagrama has been transformational. We're completely convinced that this is the way forward. The holistic approach makes complete sense to us. We feel better in several ways and are confident of further improvement in the weeks and months ahead, as explained to us by the doctors.
The care at Vaidyagrama has been exceptional at every level, and we truly feel part of the "Vaidyagrama family." Our deepest thanks to everyone at Vaidyagrama, with special appreciation for Dr. Ramanandan, whose spoken diagnosis and treatment have been so well planned, and for the improvement we both feel. We also thank Dr. Pavithra for her total focus and attention to detail, noting the smallest changes while always smiling. We are grateful to the excellent team of competent and friendly therapists: Sandhya, Praveena, Kesiya, Biju, Bindu, and Abhirami.
The atmosphere here is so friendly and supportive that even the intense treatments don’t feel hard to get through. Thank you to all at Illam 11 & Vaidyagrama.

My first ever visit to any ayurveda centre. Am / We are delighted that we chose Vaidyagrama. Fell in love with the layout and holistic surroundings. Very apt for ayurveda healing. Lovely, I am - our stay was warm and comfortable. It's been 15 days today. Time to go back into the hustle. We have been looked after well and pampered enough with the timely tiffins, medicines and bath. Went for an orientation tour. It is a massive project. All credit to Dr Ramkumar for conceptualising this great vision and bringing it to fruition. On the visit I noticed that the gaushala needs more space and improvement. It's great you are looking after the bulls and a handicapped cow too. I particularly feel for the angry bull who stands isolated. Thank you to the wonderful team of doctors. Dr Ramanandan, Dr Aparna, Dr Hima Dr Rose . You all are so dedicated and thorough with your duties. Many thanks to all the therapists, cooks, cleaners and behind-the-scenes workers. Our therapist Athira, the proactive chirpy one who never gave a dull moment, experienced Bindu, Kalpana and Unnimaya love and gratitude to all. May God bless you all with good health and success. Would wait to come again.

Home away from home. Everyone told us repeatedly before coming here that you are in safe hands – It is so very true. One has to experience this to know what safe actually means. Dr Ramanandan - no words are enough to say how he has transformed my thought process. I found a Guru in him. Dr Rose has the most beautiful smile and is always there to make sure we are more than comfortable. The treatments and therapists - no words for them would be enough.
If I ever want to feel at home away from home, I am running back here for sure. We need more Vaidyagrama than hospitals. Stay happy, stay blessed always and forever is all that I will always pray for one and all here. God bless you all.

Dear Dr.Ramanandan and the entire team! My husband and I came here three weeks ago under great stress and desperation. Having run from hospital to hospital a whole year, this was a last resort. It has indeed been a boon. Both of us have immense faith in Dr Ramanandan, more like a son to us. Dr.Hima has taken great and loving care for both of us; despite having to stay late hours. She is indeed an angel. We have seen a doting daughter in her. God bless her.
We are leaving for home with renewed vigour and optimism. Therapists and other support staff are also supportive. This is our second visit after 6 years. Values have not changed much and treatment is up to the mark. Thank you all once again. God bless. Special appreciation for Dr Aparna too for the prompt service.

To the staff behind all the senses. To the cooks & lovely meals. To Sumathi our housekeeper, who has so lovingly tended to our room, including keeping it mosquito-free with that fragrant smoke in the evenings. We rested, we journeyed into our inner landscape, we healed & learned so much.

Dr Ramanandan - you have continued to build your team - younger doctors, but so confident and so secure with their advice. Dr Aparna and Dr Ardent -You were both truly special. My gorgeous therapists - each one from Bindu to Athira, to Vishnupriya who so lovingly tried to put me to sleep with her gentle massage.

Hi Vaidyagrama family, (Doctors, therapists, reception, accounts and kitchen staff)….
I can't say thank you enough time for all the care & pampering you have provided me over the last 4 weeks. I came in as a sick person (physically & mentally) and can say that I didn't know that this new Saket 2.0 was ever possible! I am bouncing with energy, have no mental fog, no body ache. I am a new me!
This was only possible because of all vaidyagrama that supported me. Today is my last day and while I am happy that I will see my family in the US, I am very sad that I am saying goodbye to my new family. Please know that I have huge love and gratitude for each of you.
Some of you I have personally met and thanked, but there are many more who made this experience possible for me while staying in the background. My salute, my pranams to all of them as well.
I am taking a piece of Vaidyagrama with me and would treat it with some tenderness and affection that you all treat the patients here. Thank you again!
Hugs with love,

Thanks to therapists Bindu, Athira, Vishnupriya for their fabulous treatments. Thanks to all the people who work behind the scenes to make their place look and feel fabulous.
If there is one suggestion that I would like to make humbly, it is that a little attention is to be paid to the towels, i.e., smell, and it should be changed regularly. Thank you always for everything.

My stay at Vaidyagrama has been fairly short (5 days). In this short period, the experience I had was truly wonderful. From the welcome at the Reception to each interaction with doctors and staff, I felt the care, patience, politeness and willingness to provide support.
The facility layout is fantastic, providing the calm and serene environment that supported the treatment. The interactive sessions and prayers were all conducted very well.
One small suggestion - please provide flasks where the drinking water remains hot. The current ones don't retain heat for more than 30 minutes.
I would like to thank Dr Ramanandan, Dr Hima, Dr Aparna and all the staff who were behind the scenes to make Vaidyagrama an amazing place. Special thanks to Dr Ramanandan and Dr Hima for the attention and care provided to me.

Vaidyagrama is an amazing place for authentic ayurveda treatment. Dr Sreeji and Dr Ramadas have been my biggest support and fantastic Doctors’ team that I came across; they have tremendous patience, kindness and knowledge. The treatment has helped me a whole lot in a short time of 6 days. The therapists’ team including Hema, Greeshma and Arya are extremely good and hardworking. They follow the doctors’ instructions for perfection.
This place feels like a resort and not a hospital. As a first-timer I did not know what to expect but I am so happy. I request to have some entertainment like board games, puzzles, or different kinds of music. An emergency vehicle needs to be available for patients. It was a great stay, treatment and environment.

Dear Vaidyagrama, It was again a warm welcome for me here. This is my 3rd visit. I love this place like anything in this world. It’s really blessed to have a place like this. My doctors - Dr.Ramanandan , Dr Sreeji were amazing. And my dearest Dr Vishaga was always there to check me doing my daily rounds and helping me in my exercise and keep motivating me fully throughout my journey. I really enjoyed my stay here. I love the people here. My therapists Shyni, Nisha, Greeshma, Arya were also amazing.

Vaidyagrama… Even the sound of your name evokes a deep sense of peace and contentment in my heart. I am grateful to express that I have found you, my Vaidyagrama, my community, my almost parallel universe, my spiritual family. So much gratitude for the Vision of Dr Ramkumar - the Icha, Jnana, Karma of all the people here!
The ever smiling faces of Dr Hima, Dr Rose, Unnimaya, Arunima, Femila, Kalpana - this time and other last time. My dearest Dr Anupama, Dr Ramanandan and my new inspiration Dr Om Prakash, Dr Vinod. Too many to name. All of you remain in my heart much after I have left. Thank you, small words but meaningful.

The 21 days we spent here in Vaidyagrama rejuvenated not only our physical body, but also our mental outlook. Everywhere around you, there are always smiling faces and kind enquiries - making sure that our stay is comfortable.
VG's concern for conservation of resources in itself is a lesson for us to spread the messages of "Preservation of Nature” across the globe. Spiritual chanting (morning and evening) elevates our mind and also the satsangs and talks on a spectrum of subjects. Celebration of festivals and cultural activities like the one after group lunch promotes the concept of brotherhood. Garden walk, Orientation, Cow pooja, Ayurveda Cooking class - the endless variety make sure your time is well spent.
Our pranams to all Medical, Paramedical and other staff who silently march forward with a sense of duty and devotion. We take leave with an energised body and mind.

I would like to specifically thank Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Abhiram and all the people responsible for my treatment. This has indeed been a phenomenal experience for me.

Vaidyagrama…Beauty and dedication to incorporate Ayurveda into everyone's lifestyle is beyond admirable. From every staff member to every doctor here, we felt their welcoming and warm presence since day one. After having spent eight days here, we adapted so well to this loving environment that now it feels wrong to leave so early. Nonetheless, we leave vaidyagrama with a clearer mind, a healthier body and most importantly, a happy heart. Our sincere gratitude towards each and every person we met and all the companions we made along the way. Our kindest regards will always remain for the fantastic doctors and all staff members here.

I am coming to Vaidyagrama for the first time, for a reason. My friend recommended this place, and I had a wonderful time and treatment. Everyone here always wears a smile on their face, and it is very heart touching. I am very thankful to my doctors Dr Ramanandan, Dr Ardent, Dr Hima, Dr Rose and Dr Aparna for the attention and care provided to me. They were very helpful and always answered my questions with a beautiful smile. Thanks to Dr Ramkumar for building this beautiful and serene place. Thanks to all doctors, therapists, Geetha ji, office staff, housekeeping staff, cooking staff - for making my stay ever memorable. I will definitely miss my Vaidyagrama family, friends and my favourite common area near reception. Going back to my place with a rejuvenated body and clear mind.
My sincere thanks to everyone. Special thanks to my energetic therapist Unnimaya - she is very good, Femila, Kalpana are very good too. Love you all.

I came here expecting 2-3 weeks of living in extreme conditions and I was quite nervous if I would be able to complete the course. But the minute I arrived, I fell in love with the place and the people. It was a great opportunity for me to feel like I am living in harmony with Nature - not just because of the greenery but because of the way of life, preparation of food, minimalism.
I am amazed by how sustainability is at the very core of each brick, each aspect of vaidyagrama. I was surprised to find out that it is a zero-waste campus without any plastic usage. The staff and therapists are very friendly and professional. The hygiene and cleanliness of the place is also positive.
I came here with gut, knee and mental health issues & I feel I have improved about 50-60%. The time and ambience I had at vaidyagrama to reflect on values and purpose of life, has been really meaningful. I was a workaholic before coming here. I calculated happiness on the basis of my success, achievements and how busy I was at work. My time at Vaidyagrama helped me realise that work is only one small part of life and there is so much more to life than a successful work life. Another realisation I had was that food is medicine - this is so true !!
I have understood the importance of eating mindfully and caring for your body.
Dr. Renjisha and others were very caring and ensured my comfort at all times. Once I leave I will be missing my time here.
Only feedback I have where I feel there is scope for improvement is the treatment of mental health issues. While I understand ayurveda treats mind and body overall, I felt that importance given to the mind was much less than the importance given to the body. This is my personal experience, although I'm sure others have had good experiences in terms of mental health.
Doctors can be given special training on psychological and psychiatric issues as I felt. They should know about the difference between depression and personality disorder and just regular sadness.
My parents had to convince me to try vaidyagrama for the first time and I came after a lot of hesitation, but I am glad I did and I look forward to coming again.
Thank you all for everything.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
This was my first visit to Vaidyagrama, and I am happy to share that it exceeded all my expectations. The tranquil and serene natural environment facilitated a much-needed healing experience. The 19 days seemed to fly by, leaving me incredibly grateful to the entire staff—doctors, therapists, cleaners, chefs, gardeners, receptionists, and many more. Each person is dedicated to providing support, and their commitment is truly evident in the level of care I received. I felt genuinely well taken care of at Vaidyagrama, and I am certain I will return. If any of you visit San Diego, USA, feel free to contact me; I would be happy to host.
With deepest gratitude,

Thanks to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Rose and the team and their personal care. For example, every day you are asked if you have any fresh medical complaints. The housekeeping leading to squeaky clean rooms, common areas and therapy rooms. In our case, food that did not leave us, craving for more, though it was as prescribed.
The satsangs in the afternoon were very informative and questions were answered, especially by Dr Ramkumar. My co-patients, meeting and socialising times and exchanging notes, forming a virtual community. Last but not the least terrific outcomes for our medical complaints. Laundry services were good. Special thanks to Dr Rose for her constant attention and pleasant presence.
Suggestions - A little more care and aggression required to rid the treatment rooms of mosquitoes. The toilets do not flush completely. Bed covers need a makeover, maybe pastel shades. The prayer rooms need to be a lot tidier.

As always, the care of the doctors and therapists is very good. I can only make a suggestion. The mosquitoes this time have been very bad, rat urine smell every morning near the mandapam and sometimes outside the therapy rooms. I am grateful to all of VG!

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
I came to this place a little apprehensive about the quality of care, cleanliness, food, the approach of the doctors and staff, and the property itself, located in an idyllic place near a little-known area called Velanthavalam outside of Coimbatore. However, all that dissolved the moment I entered the campus on day one. We were welcomed by rain, a cool breeze, and lush greenery all around, which captivated us.
I appreciate this contemporary concept of a holistic Ayurvedic healing system, without losing the traditional approach. The Vaidyagrama team works cohesively, with happy and cheerful faces all around, which is unlike other establishments.
I express my deepest gratitude for the tireless dedication and compassionate care provided by all the doctors, therapists, nurses, supporting staff, and reception. A special mention goes to Dr. Pavithra, who took excellent care of us.
Some suggestions:
An intensive care ambulance with a driver is essential. The driver could be a multitasking person who can assist with other tasks when not driving. This is crucial, as I experienced a delay in transferring my wife from Vaidyagrama to a nearby hospital, which took almost two hours of waiting time. Imagine if it had been an emergency!
The presence of street dogs is also a concern. The other day, I saw someone walking with a cane, and when I inquired, she told me that she was chased by dogs, and one of them almost bit her!
Despite these concerns, I believe Vaidyagrama will continue to shine with each new experience. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. Bye!

We would like to appreciate the care and healing during our stay. Every individual from the doctors, therapists, support staff were professional, compassionate and attentive. We thank the time and efforts taken by the doctors to explain the treatments in depth and to guide us through this healing journey with dedication.
Special thanks to Dr Harikrishnan, who patiently explained and answered all our queries. We would like to thank Dr Aparna for the care and encouragement during our stay. The therapists Bindu, Athira, and Unnimaya deserve a special mention.
We would like to thank Dr Ramkumar for creating this facility - the holistic approach to health that your hospital upholds is amazing. The personalised treatment plans, authentic ayurvedic therapies, the nourishing meals and the serene atmosphere created by Dr Ramkumar is fabulous.
We leave this facility feeling much more healthy, balanced and rejuvenated. Thank you once again for your dedication and support. Not to mention, we enjoyed all the poojas at the temple.

I would like to thank everyone who helped me achieve my healing. Very special thanks to Dr Ramadas, Dr Nandana, Dr Vinod, Dr Vishaga and all my therapists; without you this treatment would not have been possible. Thanks to the housekeeping staff, the kitchen staff, for all the care and good Satvik food.

I have truly enjoyed my time at Vaidyagrama. The doctors Dr Ramanandan, Dr Aparna have been great. The ease with which I could share thoughts, apprehensions, even concerns - was just comforting. The therapists in cluster 2 are all fabulous - Special mention to Athira, Indu. The housekeeping team goes about quietly doing their work, all in all a great experience.
I hope to benefit from the medication which I have for 3 months - an annual reboot is a good one given for my lifestyle. I know I will be back.
Some suggestions - Wi-Fi connectivity in common areas can be of a better quality, despite paying, I've struggled. Some thought of dealing with mosquitoes in the therapy rooms, the rooms (dhoop to be done periodically if that helps). The jaalis in the sit-out are a blessing. Love it. A bedside lamp for someone to diffuse light in the room would be great, instead of having the bulbs too strong for a certain time of night/ morning. Some differences in the approach to food - do things without coconut sometimes, especially for those of us who come from outside of South India. - This can be done without compromising on Ayurvedic principles behind food/cooking.
I will be back! and will send friends. Best wishes for all the good work you all are doing.

Our stay at Vaidyagrama has been transformational. We're completely convinced that this is the way forward. The holistic approach makes complete sense to us. We feel better in several ways and are confident of further improvement in the weeks and months ahead, as explained to us by the doctors.
The care at Vaidyagrama has been exceptional at every level, and we truly feel part of the "Vaidyagrama family." Our deepest thanks to everyone at Vaidyagrama, with special appreciation for Dr. Ramanandan, whose spoken diagnosis and treatment have been so well planned, and for the improvement we both feel. We also thank Dr. Pavithra for her total focus and attention to detail, noting the smallest changes while always smiling. We are grateful to the excellent team of competent and friendly therapists: Sandhya, Praveena, Kesiya, Biju, Bindu, and Abhirami.
The atmosphere here is so friendly and supportive that even the intense treatments don’t feel hard to get through. Thank you to all at Illam 11 & Vaidyagrama.

My first ever visit to any ayurveda centre. Am / We are delighted that we chose Vaidyagrama. Fell in love with the layout and holistic surroundings. Very apt for ayurveda healing. Lovely, I am - our stay was warm and comfortable. It's been 15 days today. Time to go back into the hustle. We have been looked after well and pampered enough with the timely tiffins, medicines and bath. Went for an orientation tour. It is a massive project. All credit to Dr Ramkumar for conceptualising this great vision and bringing it to fruition. On the visit I noticed that the gaushala needs more space and improvement. It's great you are looking after the bulls and a handicapped cow too. I particularly feel for the angry bull who stands isolated. Thank you to the wonderful team of doctors. Dr Ramanandan, Dr Aparna, Dr Hima Dr Rose . You all are so dedicated and thorough with your duties. Many thanks to all the therapists, cooks, cleaners and behind-the-scenes workers. Our therapist Athira, the proactive chirpy one who never gave a dull moment, experienced Bindu, Kalpana and Unnimaya love and gratitude to all. May God bless you all with good health and success. Would wait to come again.

Home away from home. Everyone told us repeatedly before coming here that you are in safe hands – It is so very true. One has to experience this to know what safe actually means. Dr Ramanandan - no words are enough to say how he has transformed my thought process. I found a Guru in him. Dr Rose has the most beautiful smile and is always there to make sure we are more than comfortable. The treatments and therapists - no words for them would be enough.
If I ever want to feel at home away from home, I am running back here for sure. We need more Vaidyagrama than hospitals. Stay happy, stay blessed always and forever is all that I will always pray for one and all here. God bless you all.

Dear Dr.Ramanandan and the entire team! My husband and I came here three weeks ago under great stress and desperation. Having run from hospital to hospital a whole year, this was a last resort. It has indeed been a boon. Both of us have immense faith in Dr Ramanandan, more like a son to us. Dr.Hima has taken great and loving care for both of us; despite having to stay late hours. She is indeed an angel. We have seen a doting daughter in her. God bless her.
We are leaving for home with renewed vigour and optimism. Therapists and other support staff are also supportive. This is our second visit after 6 years. Values have not changed much and treatment is up to the mark. Thank you all once again. God bless. Special appreciation for Dr Aparna too for the prompt service.

Dear VG Family,
I’m very grateful to each member of the VG Family. Thanks for the hospitality and making me not feel like I’m in a hospital. I came with severe joint pain, and just within the first week of the Panchakarma treatment, I got so much relief. Thanks to Dr. Vishaga. Thanks to Dr. Ramadas for his cheerful appearance every day, which made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Vishaka was another caring soul who took time every day to make sure I was comfortable and checked on me regularly. There were just a few hiccups in terms of inconsistency with therapists and sometimes dealing with their immaturity. Food and housekeeping were really well taken care of. Thanks to the entire team, and I wish to come back every year. I love the way everything is structured here. Satsangs were eye-opening for me. I have learned a lot about Ayurveda and have become more conscious about myself.
Best Wishes to the VG Team.

I am truly grateful to Hari Kiran ji for having pushed me to come to Vaidyagrama to deal with my chronic ailments, mostly the result of incompetence and harmful interventions by various allopathic treatments from my childhood, including unnecessary and harmful surgery during my early years. Vaidyagrama has very high professional standards for Ayurveda, right from the way the place is designed as per the principles of Vastu Shastra to providing high-quality personal care to EACH person who comes for treatment here. Before coming for the 21-day treatment, I had thought I would feel restless to get back to my work, but now that it is time to leave, I feel unhappy and reluctant to go back to my crazy, frustrated life in Delhi.
The loving care of each vaidya who attended to me and those who administered the complex treatments makes this place very special. I hope this will become my second home in the coming years, and I will come here not just for healing but for living and working in a Satvik environment. I have appointed myself as a brand ambassador for Vaidyagrama and have been recommending it to friends and family. Thank you to the entire team of Vaidyagrama, especially its founder, Vaidya Ramkumar ji, Sujata ji, Aparna Sarma, and Harikumar ji, who took charge of my treatment. Vaidya Aparna Arun executed the instructions of Harikumar ji and attended to every minor detail with alacrity, and the women in the therapy room gave those massages with cheerful competence.
The future of Ayurveda rests in the hands of people like Vaidya Ramkumar ji, who have provided a real role model by way of a vibrant institution for the younger generations of Vaidyas. I am sure everyone who has come to VG would agree that making temples and Pooja a central part of the daily routine is a very important part of the healing process. Secondly, the regular group interactions and ideas shared through daily Satsangs are also unique to this place. Patients not only get treatments by experts but also learn about the basics of Ayurveda. Thank you for this great teamwork and thoughtful arrangements. Though I go back feeling very exhausted and low on energy from the treatment, I have confidence that I am on the path to recovery and will return to Vaidyagrama soon as a somewhat healthier version of myself.

My healing journey continues.

Overall, I had a wonderful and blissful experience for a week. I wanted to stay longer, but time didn’t permit, as I had other important things to pursue now. Health comes before wealth, but I apologize for leaving this place. I will come back again. Everyone was so caring—the doctors, therapists, housekeeping—everyone was amazing. Dr. Ramadas was inspiring and thought-provoking. My special thanks to Dr. Om Prakash, a very friendly and generous person who was always open for conversation. The other doctors were also equally kind and supportive. I will miss this place. My body has improved, and I can feel the difference. I will come back once again. Thank you, everyone. Love you.

This is my first time at Vaidyagrama. I came here on September 29th, and my treatment started the very first day of my arrival. Vaidyagrama has provided a holistic experience, starting from morning prayers, treatments, doctors spending time and explaining diet protocols, Satsang, and cooking classes. I enjoyed every bit of this journey and the natural setting. Special thanks to Dr. Vishaka for the lovely care and support. Thanks to Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Vishaka, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Arun, and Dr. Aruna.

I felt very awesome. I had a really great experience. What I expected to find here, I found. I healed my body and soul. The Satsang and prayers were awesome. I really enjoyed my treatment. My digestion is a little better now. I can feel my hunger. The pain in my shoulder has reduced a lot. Thanks to everyone for this wonderful opportunity. I want to say a special thank you to the kitchen team for the wonderful food. I really want to thank Dr. Ramadas, who helped me a lot. The way he explains things was phenomenal. Dr. Vishaga—she is amazing, always has a huge smile, she is kind, and is a doctor who constantly checked on me. I am really going to miss her. I always want to come back; it will be soon. Thanks to all my therapists and housekeeping. I really had a great time.

I am deeply grateful to the universe for leading me to Vaidyagrama. For me, being here for 3 weeks has healed me in mind, body, and soul. I truly feel like I have found another home. Living here for 21 days has taught me how to let go, to feel calm, and deeply connected to my heart and the divine. The Panchakarma treatments have released toxins but also many emotions stored in the body. All throughout, I have felt like a baby swaddled in my mother's lap—that is the level of care and kindness from all the doctors and therapists. Listening to all the daily Satsangs has taught me a lot about Ayurveda. Dr. Ramkumar's wisdom shared in his Satsangs will stay with me as I leave tonight. I know that my stay has made a shift and a new beginning for the rest of my life. As I leave feeling light and radiant in mind, body, and spirit, I know that I will be back every year so I can heal and take care of the gift of my body. Until I return, I wish everyone here the very best.
Deeply grateful!

Thank you to all for the renewal you gave my mind, body, and soul. I have not felt this cared for by others for a long time. The love I have felt—from the preparation of the food to the gentle hands of the therapists to the listening of the doctors—I am truly grateful. I look forward to the continued healing of my body with the medicines and the care I am prepared to give my body. I have a renewed sense of self and what I need to live a long, healthy, stress-free existence in a beautiful place with so much loving and caring energy. I will be back. Until next time, with love and gratitude.

I leave tomorrow with deep gratitude to you all for the kindness and love you have showered upon me. These last three weeks, the commitment to the cause and purposeful intention with which each person brought to my experience has been done with grace and joy, regardless of stature. The sanctuary that is Vaidyagrama makes rest easy and creates a solid foundation for healing, cleansing, and whatever our bodies and souls may need. I became especially fond of Mr. Lince, my frequent therapist, who brought with him both skill and grace as he provided me with treatments of all types. Thank you, Mr. Lince, for being with me throughout. It has been a wonderful journey, and I am so grateful for it all. Blessings to all.

3-week stay, first-time visitor. All the staff were very kind and responsive. Doctors visited often and were keen on their expectations. Would have appreciated a quiet time enforced after 8 PM—I had to do a lot of self-policing and calling the front desk. One more suggestion - tennis balls under / on bottoms of chair legs. Thank you for your kindness, care, and professionalism.

Dear VG Family,
I’m very grateful to each member of the VG Family. Thanks for the hospitality and making me not feel like I’m in a hospital. I came with severe joint pain, and just within the first week of the Panchakarma treatment, I got so much relief. Thanks to Dr. Vishaga. Thanks to Dr. Ramadas for his cheerful appearance every day, which made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Vishaka was another caring soul who took time every day to make sure I was comfortable and checked on me regularly. There were just a few hiccups in terms of inconsistency with therapists and sometimes dealing with their immaturity. Food and housekeeping were really well taken care of. Thanks to the entire team, and I wish to come back every year. I love the way everything is structured here. Satsangs were eye-opening for me. I have learned a lot about Ayurveda and have become more conscious about myself.
Best Wishes to the VG Team.

I am truly grateful to Hari Kiran ji for having pushed me to come to Vaidyagrama to deal with my chronic ailments, mostly the result of incompetence and harmful interventions by various allopathic treatments from my childhood, including unnecessary and harmful surgery during my early years. Vaidyagrama has very high professional standards for Ayurveda, right from the way the place is designed as per the principles of Vastu Shastra to providing high-quality personal care to EACH person who comes for treatment here. Before coming for the 21-day treatment, I had thought I would feel restless to get back to my work, but now that it is time to leave, I feel unhappy and reluctant to go back to my crazy, frustrated life in Delhi.
The loving care of each vaidya who attended to me and those who administered the complex treatments makes this place very special. I hope this will become my second home in the coming years, and I will come here not just for healing but for living and working in a Satvik environment. I have appointed myself as a brand ambassador for Vaidyagrama and have been recommending it to friends and family. Thank you to the entire team of Vaidyagrama, especially its founder, Vaidya Ramkumar ji, Sujata ji, Aparna Sarma, and Harikumar ji, who took charge of my treatment. Vaidya Aparna Arun executed the instructions of Harikumar ji and attended to every minor detail with alacrity, and the women in the therapy room gave those massages with cheerful competence.
The future of Ayurveda rests in the hands of people like Vaidya Ramkumar ji, who have provided a real role model by way of a vibrant institution for the younger generations of Vaidyas. I am sure everyone who has come to VG would agree that making temples and Pooja a central part of the daily routine is a very important part of the healing process. Secondly, the regular group interactions and ideas shared through daily Satsangs are also unique to this place. Patients not only get treatments by experts but also learn about the basics of Ayurveda. Thank you for this great teamwork and thoughtful arrangements. Though I go back feeling very exhausted and low on energy from the treatment, I have confidence that I am on the path to recovery and will return to Vaidyagrama soon as a somewhat healthier version of myself.

My healing journey continues.

And a big thank you to Dr. Vishaga as well; she constantly checked on me, and her regular, genuine care was really good. I did have a hard time this time, but I was able to overcome it with their support. I am looking forward to coming back again.

Overall, I had a wonderful and blissful experience for a week. I wanted to stay longer, but time didn’t permit, as I had other important things to pursue now. Health comes before wealth, but I apologize for leaving this place. I will come back again. Everyone was so caring—the doctors, therapists, housekeeping—everyone was amazing. Dr. Ramadas was inspiring and thought-provoking. My special thanks to Dr. Om Prakash, a very friendly and generous person who was always open for conversation. The other doctors were also equally kind and supportive. I will miss this place. My body has improved, and I can feel the difference. I will come back once again. Thank you, everyone. Love you.

I enjoyed every bit of this journey and the natural setting. Special thanks to Dr. Vishaka for the lovely care and support. Thanks to Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Vishaka, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Arun, and Dr. Aruna.

I am also very excited, leaving with 3 months ' worth of medicines so I can still be connected physically, emotionally and spiritually.

A place worth visiting should be inspiring and healing. Vaidyagrama is both and more. It was a discovery. It operates in a rational and ethical space, one where the patient is always at the center of concern. From the vaidyas to the doctors, the therapists, and the housekeeping staff, they all display a remarkable spirit of service. They have imbibed and exude this, creating a memorable experience. Keep up the great work!

Thank you to all the Vaidyagrama family. I came with no experience in Ayurveda and did not know what to expect. However, the journey has been amazing, filled with love and respect. You all guided me through the process with kindness and smiles on your faces. I felt like part of a family, not just a visitor or patient. I came with a mess in my soul and mind, but I leave with my mind connected to my body. Vaidyagrama helped me listen to my spirit and body. I will forever be grateful for this experience.

I am writing here on the day the moon moved into a nakshatra (lunar mansion) called Pushya, a sign titled "The Blossomed" and considered the most nourishing of all. It represents nourishment, support, growth, flourishing, prayers, meditation, and a love for rituals. All these words capture my 31-day stay here at Vaidyagrama. It took me many moon cycles to come here and discover this amazing place for deep inner healing, but I am forever grateful. I was blessed to do so in this lifetime.
I bow a thousand times to all the people here who contribute in such a loving and devotional way to making this place what it is today and what it will grow into. May many more people find their way here, to the art and science that is Ayurveda.
See you next year again.
Bowing in deep reverence,

Dear Vaidyagrama,
Thank you so much for providing such a truly healing space and care. I had never experienced anything like a 21-day Panchakarma, so this was quite a ride! I appreciate all the work, love, and dedication that have gone into making this place a sanctuary, so far away from my home. Special thanks to Dr. Ramadas for his attention and wisdom, and to therapists Shyni, Nisha, Anju, and Devyani for their care, as well as to all the therapists. Thanks also to the many junior doctors who made rounds and maintained daily contact. Much gratitude to the housekeeping staff, laundry team, kitchen crew, reception team, and administrators. Everything here is done with such love—it’s palpable. I’m also so grateful for the many beautiful birds!
With much respect and a deep bow,

Vaidyagrama has given me an incredible experience and guidance as I embark on my new Ayurvedic journey. Even though I started off on a rough note, the journey has been exceptionally rewarding over the past 21 days. I came here with a lot of expectations, and there was a complete treatment tailor-made to meet my needs. The doctors and therapists truly care about overall well-being and implement every possible measure to enhance the healing process.
A big shout-out to:
Some junior lady doctors lack empathy and should be better listeners.
Housekeeping needs improvement.
Change towels daily, as they tend to get the smell of oil
Change sheets every third day, as they get stained from oils.
Spray organic pest control to eradicate flying insects, cockroaches, bugs, lizards, spiders or ants.
Add more variety to the fruits offered. Eating papaya, pomegranate, and banana every other day gets monotonous.
Install a rubber flap under the net door to stop bugs from entering.
Add closed nets to the balconies in all rooms.
Find an alternative way to manage mosquitoes.
Provide two strong therapists to ensure balance during treatments.
Doctors should avoid condescending comments and be more sensitive to patients' feelings.
A true mind-body-soul journey has begun.
With love,

I thank all the members of the Vaidyagrama family for doing their best and teaching me humility, compassion, love, tolerance, kindness, and so much more. Your commitment is impressive—thank you. I love the holistic approach of taking care of the mind, body, and spirit. Thanks for all your advice! Every word has an impact—it can heal or destroy. Thank you for your healing.
I am bringing lots of seeds from here and will continue to make my garden grow, as well as help others grow their gardens. Wishing the best for Vaidyagrama. Truly, you are an inspiration to me. Take care and keep going!

Vaidyagrama has been an incredible experience. I came here with great hope to heal my soul, body, and mind. My 21-day journey has been truly remarkable. All the staff, from the front of the house to the back of the house, are kind, hospitable and genuine. The doctors are extremely knowledgeable about what they do.
One suggestion: It would be great if each room could have a pen and notebook provided upon the patient’s arrival.
Thank you, Vaidyagrama, the healing temple, for this amazing experience and journey. I will definitely return to continue this incredible healing journey and gain more knowledge.

Thank you for all the support from the doctors, therapists, housekeeping, laundry team, etc. You all did an amazing job providing an organic place for self-healing and helping me reconnect with Nature.

I feel like I’m writing a love poem to the Divine Mother of Vaidyagrama, who, in her serene beauty and unconditional love, has embraced me with deep fauna green, unctuous healing oils, Deva oushadhi, and wise doctors (Dr. Ramdas ji, Dr. Anupama ji, Dr. Ramkumar ji), compassionate caregivers (Shyni ji, Nisha ji, Devayani ji, Mallika ji), and my special guide Ivy ji— all holding space for my body, mind, and spirit to balance, align, and heal in good health with the authentic ancient art and science of Ayurveda.
A deep swell of gratitude from the heart, flowing into a sparkling fountain of love, peace, light, and self-healing, overflowing to all around me in true satsang of sukha (good space). Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who assisted in my alignment with nature— to all those mentioned and all the many doctors, administrators (Geeta ji, Aparna ji), chefs, caretakers (seen and unseen), the trees, flowers, birds, animals, insects, the stars, the devis & devatas, the sacred cows and snakes—all our gurus. I leave with a lightness and a deeper sense of love for myself and others—what more is there!

Dear Vaidyagrama Team,
I thank you for the wonderful care and attention to detail in everything—from the treatments to my changing symptoms, to the food, the room cleaning, the lectures by other doctors, the satsangs, and the daily check-ins with my doctors. The team really cares, and it shows. You have also drawn so many like-minded people to these sacred grounds, and that is a testament to the work ethic and philosophy of Vaidyagrama.
I certainly appreciate Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Nandana, and Dr. Devika, as well as therapists Shilpa, Anju, Manasa and others, as well as housekeeping, Sunitha, and the kitchen staff. I felt my symptoms begin to move and flow and eventually vanish. As an Ayurvedic doctor in training with Dr. Lad, I was enjoying the opportunity to understand the approach to Panchakarma in Tamilnadu. I look forward to returning and bringing clients and family with me.
All the best,

Dear Vaidyagrama,
Thank you for an experience I will never forget! It wasn't all sunshine and roses, as you gave me exactly what I needed. You cast a light and reflected to me my triggers, patterns in need of change, and the resistance I have to them. This was (and will continue to be for the next 3 months), a lesson in surrender and trust, guiding me on my spiritual transformation and overall health journey.
Thank you to everyone who took care of me during my stay—the doctors, therapists, kitchen & cleaning staff, gardeners, and countless others. Thank you for creating this beautiful environment for us to experience rest and healing. The sounds and sights of Nature around Vaidyagrama are truly magical!
Blessings to you all!

This place seems to connect people, so within seconds you can make friends so deeply and honestly. I feel well and rejuvenated, and I am ready to go home.
My stay at vaidyagrama has nourished my mind so that I feel stronger and energized to meet whatever challenges will show up. My deepest thanks to Dr Harikumar and Dr Sajna, junior and senior. It has been an amazing journey with you. I am sure to be back within the next year. A better life insurance you cannot get! All my thanks and gratitude to all of you.

Thank you very much for everything. Your care is very supportive for the process of letting go and feeling confident with a lot of attention, and I appreciated it also. You are great, I stayed 3 weeks, and I feel like I arrived yesterday. I feel much more relaxed and calmer inside, and how deep was the treatment.
I am also very excited, leaving with 3 months ' worth of medicines so I can still be connected physically, emotionally and spiritually. I can only recommend the center to friends and hopefully come back myself in the future. Well done also to Vaidyagrama Trust for all the wonderful work it supports with the community. Wish you all the best.

A place worth visiting should be inspiring and healing. Vaidyagrama is both and more. It was a discovery. It operates in a rational and ethical space, one where the patient is always at the center of concern. From the vaidyas to the doctors, the therapists, and the housekeeping staff, they all display a remarkable spirit of service. They have imbibed and exude this, creating a memorable experience. Keep up the great work!

Thank you to all the Vaidyagrama family. I came with no experience in Ayurveda and did not know what to expect. However, the journey has been amazing, filled with love and respect. You all guided me through the process with kindness and smiles on your faces. I felt like part of a family, not just a visitor or patient. I came with a mess in my soul and mind, but I leave with my mind connected to my body. Vaidyagrama helped me listen to my spirit and body. I will forever be grateful for this experience.

I am writing here on the day the moon moved into a nakshatra (lunar mansion) called Pushya, a sign titled "The Blossomed" and considered the most nourishing of all. It represents nourishment, support, growth, flourishing, prayers, meditation, and a love for rituals. All these words capture my 31-day stay here at Vaidyagrama. It took me many moon cycles to come here and discover this amazing place for deep inner healing, but I am forever grateful. I was blessed to do so in this lifetime.
I bow a thousand times to all the people here who contribute in such a loving and devotional way to making this place what it is today and what it will grow into. May many more people find their way here, to the art and science that is Ayurveda.
See you next year again.
Bowing in deep reverence,

Dear Vaidyagrama,
Thank you so much for providing such a truly healing space and care. I had never experienced anything like a 21-day Panchakarma, so this was quite a ride! I appreciate all the work, love, and dedication that have gone into making this place a sanctuary, so far away from my home. Special thanks to Dr. Ramadas for his attention and wisdom, and to therapists Shyni, Nisha, Anju, and Devyani for their care, as well as to all the therapists. Thanks also to the many junior doctors who made rounds and maintained daily contact. Much gratitude to the housekeeping staff, laundry team, kitchen crew, reception team, and administrators. Everything here is done with such love—it’s palpable. I’m also so grateful for the many beautiful birds!
With much respect and a deep bow,

Vaidyagrama has given me an incredible experience and guidance as I embark on my new Ayurvedic journey. Even though I started off on a rough note, the journey has been exceptionally rewarding over the past 21 days. I came here with a lot of expectations, and there was a complete treatment tailor-made to meet my needs. The doctors and therapists truly care about overall well-being and implement every possible measure to enhance the healing process.
A big shout-out to:
- Dr. Hari Kumar, who hides his vast knowledge behind a calm smile.
- Dr. Abhiram, a charming and smiling doctor who truly cared and always went the extra mile. He consistently made me feel comfortable and welcomed.
- Dr. Aruna, my go-to angel at Vaidyagrama and a beautiful soul. Her contagious smile and approachable nature made all the difference
- To the wonderful therapists:
- Aneesha, such a darling child who took care of me every minute of each day. A great therapist is hard to find and impossible to forget; I wish I could take her home with me.
- Shiny, a very dedicated girl who led the team exceptionally well. Even under stress, she always had a smile on her face. She worked back-to-back yet never complained.
- Arya, another true gem, an adorable and caring kid. She never complained, always kept a cheerful demeanour, and hopped around like a bunny at any time of the day.
- Anu, a girl with magical, soft hands yet incredibly strong.
- Shruti, a child with a contagious smile and an admirable drive to help.
Some junior lady doctors lack empathy and should be better listeners.
Housekeeping needs improvement.
Change towels daily, as they tend to get the smell of oil
Change sheets every third day, as they get stained from oils.
Spray organic pest control to eradicate flying insects, cockroaches, bugs, lizards, spiders or ants.
Add more variety to the fruits offered. Eating papaya, pomegranate, and banana every other day gets monotonous.
Install a rubber flap under the net door to stop bugs from entering.
Add closed nets to the balconies in all rooms.
Find an alternative way to manage mosquitoes.
Provide two strong therapists to ensure balance during treatments.
Doctors should avoid condescending comments and be more sensitive to patients' feelings.
A true mind-body-soul journey has begun.
With love,

All the staff, from the front of the house to the back of the house, are kind, hospitable and genuine. The doctors are extremely knowledgeable about what they do.
- Dr. Hari Kumar: The depth of knowledge behind his silence is mind-blowing. He’s a gem.
- Dr. Renjisha: She has been extremely helpful throughout my healing journey. She’s exceptionally talented, patient and always took the time to answer my doubts. She has cared for me since day one.
- Dr. Dhanya: Her calming nature and extensive knowledge have been a great support during my journey. She answered all my questions about the Panchakarma treatment with clarity. I wish her all the best in her journey with Vaidyagrama.
- Dr. Anagha: Though she joined recently, she has been incredibly supportive in managing my food, medicines, and post-treatment care. I’m deeply thankful for her patience in addressing all my "stupid" questions, even taking time after her work to help me. She has been more of a friend than a doctor, and I wish her great success in her journey.
- Dr. Vinod, Dr. Abhiram, Dr. Om Prakash, and the man behind Vaidyagrama, Dr. Ramkumar: You are an incredible human being with a profound depth of knowledge. You name it, and they answer with full patience and understanding.
One suggestion: It would be great if each room could have a pen and notebook provided upon the patient’s arrival.
Thank you, Vaidyagrama, the healing temple, for this amazing experience and journey. I will definitely return to continue this incredible healing journey and gain more knowledge.

Dear all in Vaidyagrama
I am thankful to all that participated in my care and healing process. Even though it was a short stay of 9 days, I enjoyed all the treatments, greetings and small, regular talks with every one of the staff members I was in contact with. I was deeply touched by their kindness and service attitude. I left a symbolic tip at my checkout payment, knowing it is not enough to thank you for all of your acts, but it is also with my heart that I appreciate you and wish your health and a bright future for you and your family.
I want to give special thanks to Dr. Sajna S., who was always willing to answer all my questions and open for a talk beyond the treatment. This made my stay much smoother. I also want to thank the folks/therapists in the massage room, who were always smiling, kind, and professional.
Many thanks to Dr. Vinod, who was in charge of my healing process, and with whom I also connected from the start, sharing experiences about Isha Foundation and Sadguru. Lastly, thanks to all the staff and guests who were great companions during my trip. I hope to meet again in the near future.
Until then, bendiciones de este mexicano.

Thanks to the peacock, I am encouraged by all the beautiful ladies from the garden. Thanks to her. She taught me with her work, patience, and dedication to her work every day.
Thanks to the girl who would greet us each night, offering the blankets with so much love.
To those who worked with so much care, each one brought love for our souls and food for our hearts. The nurses, masseuses, who with their miraculous hands reminded us of that pure love, as beautiful as that of a mother.
Thank you to the loving doctors who gave us their knowledge and care. They helped us heal our bodies, our souls, and our hearts.

I am so grateful for the privilege of returning to the care of Dr. Ramadas after 6 years. This time, I was also under the care of Dr. Nandana, and I felt very safe and confident in her care. She answered all my questions with patience and shared her knowledge freely.
As always, Dr. Ramadas inspires me with his love, devotion, compassion, humanity, and wisdom. He lives the teachings in a joyful and exuberant way!
I had wonderful young women looking after my care and treatment—thank you all, especially Shilpa, Manasa, Anju, and Shini (apologies if I misspelled your names). Of course, it takes everyone here to make the experience so holistic, clean, and peaceful—the cleaning staff, groundskeepers, cow tenders, cooking crew, office staff and more. Thank you all! I also appreciate the educational and inspiring talks from all the doctors.
Om & Prem!

Thank you very much for accommodating me on short notice and here. I must truly be impressed by receiving a wonderful stay here. I must say that I am truly impressed by the hard work and dedication of all the doctors and therapists towards patients. Dr. Pavithra came to talk to me at least twice a day, and Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Ramadas came almost daily. It is amazing that you listen to each and every one of our health concerns and try to connect a few of them. I did feel that there were areas for improvement, for your consideration:

This is my second visit in 2024, and it was as amazing as the last. From the gardeners, cooks, therapists, and doctors to the admin staff and all the way to Dr. Ramkumar, I have experienced nothing but kindness, generosity, and care, unlike anything I have ever encountered.
I brought my parents, who have loved the environment and the experience, and they leave feeling so much better—both mentally and physically—than when they arrived.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

I arrived at Vaidyagrama with a reasonable understanding of what to expect. However, I had not comprehended the scale of this ecosystem. With utmost humility, I thank each one of the people who played a part in looking after me.
This visit has set me off on my Ayurvedic journey. It has given me a better understanding of how to care for my body in a holistic and integrated fashion. The prayers and the satsang sessions absorbed me fully, and I started looking forward to them. Thus, my stay helped me heal both at a physical and mental level.
I really want to thank the many people I interacted with day in and day out, including Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Dhanya, my therapist Ratheesh, Surya, Manu, Sumathy, and many others who worked behind the curtain to keep things going.
I hope to be back in the new year, and until then, my best wishes to this community.

To my lovely Vaidyagrama family,
This is my second visit, and I experienced the same warm and nurturing feeling as the last time. I’m so grateful to be under the care of an amazing team of doctors, led by Dr. Ramdas. My special thanks to Dr. Nandana, Dr. Aparna, and Dr. Prateek for all the care and comfort they provided. The calmness and patience they demonstrated are beyond words. This allowed me to feel comfortable and open in communicating with them.
As always, I am grateful for all the teachings from Dr. Ramdas. He helps me look deeper into my approach to life, face challenging situations, and change my perspective. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the entire team—the therapists, front office, cleaning staff, cooking staff, administrative staff, and the passionate gardeners. Apologies if I missed anyone. I particularly feel blessed to chant every morning with the Vaidya conducting the prayer session. I couldn’t ask for a better start to my day.
The daily darshan of the Dhanvantari Moorthy brings healing and calmness. On both of my visits, I felt like I was coming back to my ancestral home, bringing back great memories of visiting my grandparents. I have been able to connect with a couple of patients, which is very important to me. (Making new connections and strengthening old ones.)
My pranams to the temple priest, who has been very kind and welcoming. The treatments I received were quite different from my last visit, and they were explained in detail. All my doubts and concerns were clarified by the respective doctors. They were all very patient and understanding, especially regarding my fears for certain treatments (Vasti in particular). My sincere appreciation goes to all the therapists (Shilpa, Manasa, and Anju). They are so caring and friendly by nature. It was important to connect with them at every therapy session and in casual interactions.
I am looking forward to following my prescribed medication routine and becoming more conscious of my overall health and well-being.
Looking forward to my next wellness visit and therapy.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
This place has great vibes and energy, which are enhanced by the divinity in the doctors. They are always smiling and ready to help at any time. Every staff member here seems to be truly dedicated.
I am very thankful to my Medical Director, Dr. Ramanandan ji, who answered each of my queries. Junior Dr. Shyam approached me daily with all the details. I am also thankful to Dr. Ardent, Dr. Hima, and Dr. Sisira, who are very sincere in their duties.
Here, all the staff give 100%, which has allowed this institute to reach such great heights.
We wish for all the dreams and projects to be fulfilled by God's grace, to serve society and for the Vaidyagrama network to spread to foreign countries, making our India proud. Dr. Ramadas ji’s chanting energy is incomparable.
All the satsangs were very informative. We wish to implant their blessings in our daily routines and be a part of a healthy, spiritual environment.
Thank you for everything. A person leaves this place with a commitment to return again and again, bringing friends and relatives.
This is the beauty of Vaidyagrama.

I came to Vaidyagrama with the intention to receive, and that is exactly what I got. I received so much love and care from the entire staff. The therapists were incredible. They were caring and so friendly. Dr Nandana was exceptionally caring, sympathetic, and organized. I enjoyed each of my conversations with Dr. Ramadas and am so glad to have received his wisdom. I received love from the gardeners and appreciated the care of the cleaning staff as well.
Vaidyagrama enabled me to receive love, care, healing, wisdom, and hope, and for that, I am so grateful. I loved the flow of the day, and my time was filled with prayers morning and evening. I enjoyed the variety of people who led the prayers with all their different styles.
I am grateful for the Q&A sessions, Satsangs, and all the lectures and cooking demos. I look forward to returning soon and plan on bringing friends.
You guys are perfect, and here are some thoughts:
I am blown away by the beauty, the Nature, the organization, the food, the people, and the Vision. I just can’t say enough.
I am so grateful, and it was my privilege to be here.

Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Rose (the future is yours), and my loving therapists Indu and Karthika.

This has been our second visit to Vaidyagrama. The first was so good that it drew us back. There are so many attractions through the several benefits we’ve achieved on each visit, with the top draw being the best-in-class treatment offered here. Every minute detail, from the diagnosis to the treatment strategy to the execution of the work and constant review, is taken care of so well. The wide array of treatments addressing the worst issues is handled efficiently and effectively.
A very significant part of healing, recuperation, and rebuilding is the very atmosphere at Vaidyagrama. It is traditional in approach while modern and addressing today’s needs. There is simplicity with all the needed comforts, making it feel like a home while still being a hospital. The infrastructure is excellent and built keeping almost all aspects of the needs of treatments and requirements of patients and visitors in mind. Its ability to build a spiritual atmosphere without being aggressively religious makes it appealing.
And then there are the people—very few places will you find a team that makes Vaidyagrama what it has come to be. Expertise and competence at all levels are the hallmarks. Everyone working here is always pleasant, even under the extreme strain of long hours and intense work. Their commitment and dedication to their work and craft are commendable, and we have a lot of them to thank.
Dr. Ramanandan has been the main draw to bring us back. His quiet confidence and ability to catch the subtle signs that lead to an accurate diagnosis are remarkable. The treatment strategy he develops is so effective in addressing the issues and arriving at the desired outcome.
Dr. Nandana has done much of the handholding and follow-up. Her calm and pleasant nature has always been reassuring. Dr. Arun and Dr. Anupama, as stand-ins during Dr. Nandana’s absence has also been a great support.
The entire team of therapists has been so good that they make what they do as an art form. Consistency has been a continuing thread throughout our days here. Libin, Ratheesh, and Vinod were the lead therapists in the team. Each of them is so skilled that it’s a pleasure just to watch them operate and lead. Aby, as support in the process, has also added much to the team. The team of super-efficient ladies—Anju, Shilpa, and Manasa—bring so much appreciation to their craft and work as therapists. Their pleasant and charming presence adds to the comfort and makes going through the days here much easier.
The housekeeping and laundry service team has been impeccable in their work. The people working behind food and catering, the garden, the maintenance team—all of them have been just as pleasant and efficient. The priest performing the poojas and homam is also so pleasant and knowledgeable.
Now, with this pleasant atmosphere, all forms of recovery and rejuvenation become easy. Even the rejoining of the treatment becomes easier to go through. The results were always there to see and experience.
A big thank you to Vaidyagrama, and a big hug to everyone here!

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
We have always enjoyed our relaxing treatment. The doctors and therapist staff are super supportive.
However, this time we faced a lot of operational issues, starting with changing our rooms twice (especially when traveling with kids), water availability, and food and medicine timings.
Overall, the treatments went well, but the operational aspects left a bitter taste in our minds.
That being said, we will be back again because you have delivered better service to us before, which is why we continue to send more people to this place.
We are leaving with better hopes in our hearts for the future.
Special thanks to:
Dr. Ramanandan
Dr. Sisira
Dr. Haneena
And so many therapists who made our time worthwhile.
Thanks,

This is my fourth visit to Vaidyagrama, and it's very hard to leave this beautiful place and people. This is as good as, or even better than, home.
Thank you, one and all, for my healing journey. Special thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan for all your valuable advice, and to Dr. Ramdas, as well as Dr. Ramkumar.
Thank you, Dr. Anagha, for the love you gave to Ishita. Definitely, she is going to miss you, and you will be disturbed by receiving a number of video calls from her.
To the lovely therapists Arya, Shiny, Aneesha, and everyone—keep that same smile on your face. So much gratitude I have for this place. You will be missed.

My 3-week stay at Vaidyagrama was surrounded by peace. I tend to be an on-the-go person and was concerned about how I would manage for three weeks. How wrong I was. The whole village, with its organic gardens, cows, loving children, morning prayers, meditation, blessings, and admin staff, was so calming and relaxing.
My doctors, Dr. Pavithra and Dr. Harikumar, were very attentive to my health concerns, which, although almost unmanageable, were greatly improved. It was clear that all the staff cared deeply about how I felt and my healing. This is the most eco-conscious, holistic Ayurvedic centre in the world, I imagine.
So, if you are interested in Ayurvedic natural healing and spiritual healing, come to Vaidyagrama.

A deep and humble bow of immense gratitude to everyone at Vaidyagrama. I have been here many times since my first treatment in 2012, and this was the "longest gift" I have given myself—40 days of rejuvenation. Each time I come away with new, deeper insights, inspiration, awareness, and conviction for this wisdom and deeply connected, holistic way of life—and what it requires of me in terms of lifestyle and dietary choices at home.
I wish to specially call out the patient, loving, empathetic, and supportive Dr. Aruna, whose care and attention were the foundation for my surrender over five weeks. She is not only wise but truly knows how to connect with patients emotionally and psychologically. Thank you.
Welcome Dr. Anagha, who arrived at Vaidyagrama only a week or two prior to my arrival as a junior doctor and is incredibly supportive and a great communicator, already a valuable asset to the VG Team.
Thank you to Dr. Harikrishnan for his exceptional care, guidance and treatment protocol to help me achieve my objective of cleansing, weight loss, better sleep, and reduced mental stress. Deep bow, Sir!
To my sweet young lady therapists, "My Treatment Angels," who are always positive, supportive, caring, and loving—from the incredible treatments and post-vasti vamana care to all the extra steams, lepams, and padabhyangam, food, medicine, etc.—Aneesha, Arya, Shiny, I appreciate and will miss you all. Also, Lakshmi Amma, Anu, and my other dear therapists, thank you for all the Malayalam and chant lessons—Aneesha, Shiny, and Arya, I carry our laughs and shared prayers home.
Thank you to the loving, upbeat support of Dr. Abhiram, Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Om, Dr. Dhanya, and Dr. Sajna during vamana and vasti, and the handful of late and middle nights Dr. Dhanya came to help me.
Dr. Ramdas’ prayers, Dr. Ramkumar’s talks, Aparna’s coordination.
To Jagadeeshwari for taking such good care of my room—housekeeping and each and every staff member—the cooks and the loving, delicious meals that I always look forward to!
Deep bow to housekeeping and laundry staff, admin staff, front desk, and IT staff, the priests who make offerings and prayers that fill the village, those who tend to facilities and grounds, to Shiva for his beautiful yoga nidras—to each and everyone at VG who timely shows up to work in surrender as a duty with love in their hearts, who demonstrate what it means to live in harmony with our environment.
To witness VG’s growth and manifestation of its vision over the past 13 years has been deeply inspirational, showing what is possible in this world: to be in harmony with nature, a steward of our body-mind-spirit complex, to each other’s community, and to make a contribution that impacts the world in a positive way. Congratulations, Vaidyagrama. I wish you all the best in your continued growth.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES!
I carry you in my heart back to the USA until I see you next time, God willing.

I would like to thank the Vaidyagrama family for the great care and treatment they have provided to me. This feels like a calm and beautiful place where one can cleanse the system once a year. The doctors are very knowledgeable and caring, and the body feels light after just a day’s stay here. The staff is polite, caring, and prompt in delivering their duties.
It is amazing to see the doctors performing elaborate poojas and reciting slokas with the same devotion that they use to deal with your ailments.
The holistic approach is bound to bring results, and I hope to see the positive effects when I get back home. I will follow this simple living I’ve learned here when I return to my life in Mumbai.
Being with Nature, being calm, and eating frugally are the lessons I am taking back home.
Thank you,

My gratitude goes to the team of doctors who provided total support and individual attention, helping me heal both physically and emotionally, while guiding me to live the holistic way of life in harmony with nature.

To the Vaidyagrama team, especially those at Illam 10!
I never imagined it was possible to find such levels of healing—wholeness of body, mind, and spirit—after only 3 weeks! You have treated me with such consideration and care, taking time and trouble at every step. The therapists, housekeeping, IT, maintenance, and of course, the doctors themselves, whose skills, insight, and dedication have been boundless.
I am deeply grateful for the healing and meaningful experience I have had at this time in my life.

This is my 8th trip to Vaidyagrama—you can tell, I like it. Actually, this has been the best stay of all. I have been battling cancer for two years, now well on the way to a cure. I came to get out of bad digestion, remove the extreme toxins, and regain some energy and stamina. Everyone has been wonderful and great at their jobs—from Krishna Ji, who made sure I got the necessary equipment to sleep in a semi-upright position, to the doctors, especially Dr. Vinod and Dr. Harikrishnan, who were very knowledgeable about my oesophageal cancer, to other doctors and therapists who were fascinatingly kind and gracious, to the cleaning staff who brought me flowers every day.
Special call out to Dr. Renjisha, therapist Shruti, and Lakshmi, and cleaner Bhaijaan. This has been a very special time of deep healing for me, and my sister says, “Whenever Diana comes back from Vaidyagrama, she radiates, glows, and twinkles.” I am extremely grateful to my other family and second home.
Thank you. Thank you.
All blessings…

Thank you, Vaidyagrama family. This was my first visit—41 days of Panchakarma. I greatly appreciate everyone's dedication and loving care. I like the beauty and the peacefulness of the surroundings, and I absolutely love the weather. Yes, from now on, I will drink more and more water, eat my meals at regular hours, and go to bed early, as prescribed by my doctor, Dr. Harikrishnan. This will be my New Year devotion to healing and rejuvenation, and by doing so, I will always be a member of Vaidyagrama.

The magic workers—the therapists—a big shout-out to all involved in my treatment. Special mention to my therapist Kalpana Ji, whose hands are pure magic!
Glad to see Vaidyagrama expanding with extended accommodation facilities. It was a wonderful experience.
Thanks also to Dr. Ardent, Dr. Aparna, and Dr. Rose. Wishing you a Happy New Year and great success ahead!

Thank you so much for all the care you have shown—not only the doctors but also the therapists, chefs, cleaning staff, receptionist, and everyone. We felt your care and warmth towards us.
This was our first time experiencing Ayurveda, and it was an incredible and unique experience. Right now, we are feeling lighter, better, and stronger.
For me, personally, eating kanji for 6 days nonstop was the worst part.
For my husband, the first few days' meals were shocking, considering he is a meat lover, but after a few days, we fully adapted to the food here and enjoyed the lightness and the clarity our treatments brought.
We are thinking of coming back here one day with our families, as we loved the holistic approach taken here. Until that time, goodbye, and thanks once again for everything.
PS: We will let you know how we are feeling and our health status in a few months.

Dear all in Vaidyagrama
I am thankful to all that participated in my care and healing process. Even though it was a short stay of 9 days, I enjoyed all the treatments, greetings and small, regular talks with every one of the staff members I was in contact with. I was deeply touched by their kindness and service attitude. I left a symbolic tip at my checkout payment, knowing it is not enough to thank you for all of your acts, but it is also with my heart that I appreciate you and wish your health and a bright future for you and your family.
I want to give special thanks to Dr. Sajna S., who was always willing to answer all my questions and open for a talk beyond the treatment. This made my stay much smoother. I also want to thank the folks/therapists in the massage room, who were always smiling, kind, and professional.
Many thanks to Dr. Vinod, who was in charge of my healing process, and with whom I also connected from the start, sharing experiences about Isha Foundation and Sadguru. Lastly, thanks to all the staff and guests who were great companions during my trip. I hope to meet again in the near future.
Until then, bendiciones de este mexicano.

Thank you very much to everyone.
You are a beautiful family, radiating love. Life, joy, and compassion live in your hearts.
Thanks to the peacock, I am encouraged by all the beautiful ladies from the garden. Thanks to her. She taught me with her work, patience, and dedication to her work every day.
Thanks to the girl who would greet us each night, offering the blankets with so much love.
To those who worked with so much care, each one brought love for our souls and food for our hearts. The nurses, masseuses, who with their miraculous hands reminded us of that pure love, as beautiful as that of a mother.
Thank you to the loving doctors who gave us their knowledge and care. They helped us heal our bodies, our souls, and our hearts.
Thank you for this fountain of health.
With your care, I was able to return to a better life."

I am so grateful for the privilege of returning to the care of Dr. Ramadas after 6 years. This time, I was also under the care of Dr. Nandana, and I felt very safe and confident in her care. She answered all my questions with patience and shared her knowledge freely.
As always, Dr. Ramadas inspires me with his love, devotion, compassion, humanity, and wisdom. He lives the teachings in a joyful and exuberant way!
I had wonderful young women looking after my care and treatment—thank you all, especially Shilpa, Manasa, Anju, and Shini (apologies if I misspelled your names). Of course, it takes everyone here to make the experience so holistic, clean, and peaceful—the cleaning staff, groundskeepers, cow tenders, cooking crew, office staff and more. Thank you all! I also appreciate the educational and inspiring talks from all the doctors.
Om & Prem!

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
Thank you very much for accommodating me on short notice and here. I must truly be impressed by receiving a wonderful stay here. I must say that I am truly impressed by the hard work and dedication of all the doctors and therapists towards patients. Dr. Pavithra came to talk to me at least twice a day, and Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Ramadas came almost daily. It is amazing that you listen to each and every one of our health concerns and try to connect a few of them. I did feel that there were areas for improvement, for your consideration:
- I had a very difficult time with the food provided. The Ayurveda food also seemed spicy for me, and was not suitable for my stomach issues. Replacing these items with a non-spicy version was very difficult because the spices were put at the beginning of cooking.
- Please consider providing small, frequent meals for people like me with severe GERD and bloating. I could eat only a small amount and could not last until the next meal.
- While all the staff are working for the patients' well-being, I felt there were many gaps in communication between the staff. Therapists would forget to convey messages regarding dietary needs. Every time there was a new therapist, they would not know about the diet, and I would have to guide them to get the right food. Perhaps they have too much work to do.
Best regards!

Dear Dr. Ramdas, Dr. Hima, Dr. Ardent, and all of the Vaidyagrama family,
This is my second visit in 2024, and it was as amazing as the last. From the gardeners, cooks, therapists, and doctors to the admin staff and all the way to Dr. Ramkumar, I have experienced nothing but kindness, generosity, and care, unlike anything I have ever encountered.
I brought my parents, who have loved the environment and the experience, and they leave feeling so much better—both mentally and physically—than when they arrived.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

I arrived at Vaidyagrama with a reasonable understanding of what to expect. However, I had not comprehended the scale of this ecosystem. With utmost humility, I thank each one of the people who played a part in looking after me.
This visit has set me off on my Ayurvedic journey. It has given me a better understanding of how to care for my body in a holistic and integrated fashion. The prayers and the satsang sessions absorbed me fully, and I started looking forward to them. Thus, my stay helped me heal both at a physical and mental level.
I really want to thank the many people I interacted with day in and day out, including Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Dhanya, my therapist Ratheesh, Surya, Manu, Sumathy, and many others who worked behind the curtain to keep things going.
I hope to be back in the new year, and until then, my best wishes to this community.

To my lovely Vaidyagrama family,
This is my second visit, and I experienced the same warm and nurturing feeling as the last time. I’m so grateful to be under the care of an amazing team of doctors, led by Dr. Ramdas. My special thanks to Dr. Nandana, Dr. Aparna, and Dr. Prateek for all the care and comfort they provided. The calmness and patience they demonstrated are beyond words. This allowed me to feel comfortable and open in communicating with them.
As always, I am grateful for all the teachings from Dr. Ramdas. He helps me look deeper into my approach to life, face challenging situations, and change my perspective. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the entire team—the therapists, front office, cleaning staff, cooking staff, administrative staff, and the passionate gardeners. Apologies if I missed anyone. I particularly feel blessed to chant every morning with the Vaidya conducting the prayer session. I couldn’t ask for a better start to my day.
The daily darshan of the Dhanvantari Moorthy brings healing and calmness. On both of my visits, I felt like I was coming back to my ancestral home, bringing back great memories of visiting my grandparents. I have been able to connect with a couple of patients, which is very important to me. (Making new connections and strengthening old ones.)
My pranams to the temple priest, who has been very kind and welcoming. The treatments I received were quite different from my last visit, and they were explained in detail. All my doubts and concerns were clarified by the respective doctors. They were all very patient and understanding, especially regarding my fears for certain treatments (Vasti in particular). My sincere appreciation goes to all the therapists (Shilpa, Manasa, and Anju). They are so caring and friendly by nature. It was important to connect with them at every therapy session and in casual interactions.
I am looking forward to following my prescribed medication routine and becoming more conscious of my overall health and well-being.
Looking forward to my next wellness visit and therapy.
Warm regards,
Sujatha,

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
This place has great vibes and energy, which are enhanced by the divinity in the doctors. They are always smiling and ready to help at any time. Every staff member here seems to be truly dedicated.
I am very thankful to my Medical Director, Dr. Ramanandan ji, who answered each of my queries. Junior Dr. Shyam approached me daily with all the details. I am also thankful to Dr. Ardent, Dr. Hima, and Dr. Sisira, who are very sincere in their duties.
Here, all the staff give 100%, which has allowed this institute to reach such great heights.
We wish for all the dreams and projects to be fulfilled by God's grace, to serve society and for the Vaidyagrama network to spread to foreign countries, making our India proud. Dr. Ramadas ji’s chanting energy is incomparable.
All the satsangs were very informative. We wish to implant their blessings in our daily routines and be a part of a healthy, spiritual environment.
Thank you for everything. A person leaves this place with a commitment to return again and again, bringing friends and relatives.
This is the beauty of Vaidyagrama.

My heart is full of love and gratitude for the opportunity to experience such deep healing! I arrived exhausted, and I’m departing renewed. I feel like my best self again. THANK YOU for everything. The Dream Team of Illam 1 (Greeshma, Arya, and Seema)—thank you for the sweetness you each share so freely, and for your truly awesome skill set in treatments. You gave total attention to every detail. Wow!!
To the fantastic team of doctors (Dr. Adarsha, Prateek, Anupama, and Ramadas)—thank you for your care and precision in my treatment protocols and medicines. I’m happy to return home with new skills and medicines to stay in healing mode.
Thanks to the gardeners, chefs, kitchen staff, housekeeping, laundry, and all the behind-the-scenes staff. Reception has also been so very helpful. I feel lucky to be part of the Vaidyagrama family.

I came to Vaidyagrama with the intention to receive, and that is exactly what I got. I received so much love and care from the entire staff. The therapists were incredible. They were caring and so friendly. Dr Nandana was exceptionally caring, sympathetic, and organized. I enjoyed each of my conversations with Dr. Ramadas and am so glad to have received his wisdom. I received love from the gardeners and appreciated the care of the cleaning staff as well.
Vaidyagrama enabled me to receive love, care, healing, wisdom, and hope, and for that, I am so grateful. I loved the flow of the day, and my time was filled with prayers morning and evening. I enjoyed the variety of people who led the prayers with all their different styles.
I am grateful for the Q&A sessions, Satsangs, and all the lectures and cooking demos. I look forward to returning soon and plan on bringing friends.
You guys are perfect, and here are some thoughts:
- Information or pictures about the food we are being served, just so we know what we are eating.
- A little store where we can get some clothes, other things, and gifts.
- Keep the library open for book searching and exchange. Encourage more book donations!
- Let people volunteer to organize the library books.
- Have more of the prayer books available so we can try to chant more.
- Explain the etiquette for walking around the Tulasi plant, the temple, and the stairs behind the rooms where we pray. I got confused about where we had to remove our shoes back there, and I got reprimanded with two different rules.
I am blown away by the beauty, the Nature, the organization, the food, the people, and the Vision. I just can’t say enough.
I am so grateful, and it was my privilege to be here.
Love and blessings,

Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Rose (the future is yours), and my loving therapists Indu and Karthika.

This has been our second visit to Vaidyagrama. The first was so good that it drew us back. There are so many attractions through the several benefits we’ve achieved on each visit, with the top draw being the best-in-class treatment offered here. Every minute detail, from the diagnosis to the treatment strategy to the execution of the work and constant review, is taken care of so well. The wide array of treatments addressing the worst issues is handled efficiently and effectively.
A very significant part of healing, recuperation, and rebuilding is the very atmosphere at Vaidyagrama. It is traditional in approach while modern and addressing today’s needs. There is simplicity with all the needed comforts, making it feel like a home while still being a hospital. The infrastructure is excellent and built keeping almost all aspects of the needs of treatments and requirements of patients and visitors in mind. Its ability to build a spiritual atmosphere without being aggressively religious makes it appealing.
And then there are the people—very few places will you find a team that makes Vaidyagrama what it has come to be. Expertise and competence at all levels are the hallmarks. Everyone working here is always pleasant, even under the extreme strain of long hours and intense work. Their commitment and dedication to their work and craft are commendable, and we have a lot of them to thank.
Dr. Ramanandan has been the main draw to bring us back. His quiet confidence and ability to catch the subtle signs that lead to an accurate diagnosis are remarkable. The treatment strategy he develops is so effective in addressing the issues and arriving at the desired outcome.
Dr. Nandana has done much of the handholding and follow-up. Her calm and pleasant nature has always been reassuring. Dr. Arun and Dr. Anupama, as stand-ins during Dr. Nandana’s absence has also been a great support.
The entire team of therapists has been so good that they make what they do as an art form. Consistency has been a continuing thread throughout our days here. Libin, Ratheesh, and Vinod were the lead therapists in the team. Each of them is so skilled that it’s a pleasure just to watch them operate and lead. Aby, as support in the process, has also added much to the team. The team of super-efficient ladies—Anju, Shilpa, and Manasa—bring so much appreciation to their craft and work as therapists. Their pleasant and charming presence adds to the comfort and makes going through the days here much easier.
The housekeeping and laundry service team has been impeccable in their work. The people working behind food and catering, the garden, the maintenance team—all of them have been just as pleasant and efficient. The priest performing the poojas and homam is also so pleasant and knowledgeable.
Now, with this pleasant atmosphere, all forms of recovery and rejuvenation become easy. Even the rejoining of the treatment becomes easier to go through. The results were always there to see and experience.
A big thank you to Vaidyagrama, and a big hug to everyone here!

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
We have always enjoyed our relaxing treatment. The doctors and therapist staff are super supportive.
However, this time we faced a lot of operational issues, starting with changing our rooms twice (especially when traveling with kids), water availability, and food and medicine timings.
Overall, the treatments went well, but the operational aspects left a bitter taste in our minds.
That being said, we will be back again because you have delivered better service to us before, which is why we continue to send more people to this place.
We are leaving with better hopes in our hearts for the future.
Special thanks to:
Dr. Ramanandan
Dr. Sisira
Dr. Haneena
And so many therapists who made our time worthwhile.
Thanks,

This is my fourth visit to Vaidyagrama, and it's very hard to leave this beautiful place and people. This is as good as, or even better than, home.
Thank you, one and all, for my healing journey. Special thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan for all your valuable advice, and to Dr. Ramdas, as well as Dr. Ramkumar.
Thank you, Dr. Anagha, for the love you gave to Ishita. Definitely, she is going to miss you, and you will be disturbed by receiving a number of video calls from her.
To the lovely therapists Arya, Shiny, Aneesha, and everyone—keep that same smile on your face. So much gratitude I have for this place. You will be missed.

My 3-week stay at Vaidyagrama was surrounded by peace. I tend to be an on-the-go person and was concerned about how I would manage for three weeks. How wrong I was. The whole village, with its organic gardens, cows, loving children, morning prayers, meditation, blessings, and admin staff, was so calming and relaxing.
My doctors, Dr. Pavithra and Dr. Harikumar, were very attentive to my health concerns, which, although almost unmanageable, were greatly improved. It was clear that all the staff cared deeply about how I felt and my healing. This is the most eco-conscious, holistic Ayurvedic centre in the world, I imagine.
So, if you are interested in Ayurvedic natural healing and spiritual healing, come to Vaidyagrama.

A deep and humble bow of immense gratitude to everyone at Vaidyagrama. I have been here many times since my first treatment in 2012, and this was the "longest gift" I have given myself—40 days of rejuvenation. Each time I come away with new, deeper insights, inspiration, awareness, and conviction for this wisdom and deeply connected, holistic way of life—and what it requires of me in terms of lifestyle and dietary choices at home.
I wish to specially call out the patient, loving, empathetic, and supportive Dr. Aruna, whose care and attention were the foundation for my surrender over five weeks. She is not only wise but truly knows how to connect with patients emotionally and psychologically. Thank you.
Welcome Dr. Anagha, who arrived at Vaidyagrama only a week or two prior to my arrival as a junior doctor and is incredibly supportive and a great communicator, already a valuable asset to the VG Team.
Thank you to Dr. Harikrishnan for his exceptional care, guidance and treatment protocol to help me achieve my objective of cleansing, weight loss, better sleep, and reduced mental stress. Deep bow, Sir!
To my sweet young lady therapists, "My Treatment Angels," who are always positive, supportive, caring, and loving—from the incredible treatments and post-vasti vamana care to all the extra steams, lepams, and padabhyangam, food, medicine, etc.—Aneesha, Arya, Shiny, I appreciate and will miss you all. Also, Lakshmi Amma, Anu, and my other dear therapists, thank you for all the Malayalam and chant lessons—Aneesha, Shiny, and Arya, I carry our laughs and shared prayers home.
Thank you to the loving, upbeat support of Dr. Abhiram, Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Om, Dr. Dhanya, and Dr. Sajna during vamana and vasti, and the handful of late and middle nights Dr. Dhanya came to help me.
Dr. Ramdas’ prayers, Dr. Ramkumar’s talks, Aparna’s coordination.
To Jagadeeshwari for taking such good care of my room—housekeeping and each and every staff member—the cooks and the loving, delicious meals that I always look forward to!
Deep bow to housekeeping and laundry staff, admin staff, front desk, and IT staff, the priests who make offerings and prayers that fill the village, those who tend to facilities and grounds, to Shiva for his beautiful yoga nidras—to each and everyone at VG who timely shows up to work in surrender as a duty with love in their hearts, who demonstrate what it means to live in harmony with our environment.
To witness VG’s growth and manifestation of its vision over the past 13 years has been deeply inspirational, showing what is possible in this world: to be in harmony with nature, a steward of our body-mind-spirit complex, to each other’s community, and to make a contribution that impacts the world in a positive way. Congratulations, Vaidyagrama. I wish you all the best in your continued growth.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES!
I carry you in my heart back to the USA until I see you next time, God willing.

I would like to thank the Vaidyagrama family for the great care and treatment they have provided to me. This feels like a calm and beautiful place where one can cleanse the system once a year. The doctors are very knowledgeable and caring, and the body feels light after just a day’s stay here. The staff is polite, caring, and prompt in delivering their duties.
It is amazing to see the doctors performing elaborate poojas and reciting slokas with the same devotion that they use to deal with your ailments.
The holistic approach is bound to bring results, and I hope to see the positive effects when I get back home. I will follow this simple living I’ve learned here when I return to my life in Mumbai.
Being with Nature, being calm, and eating frugally are the lessons I am taking back home.

To the Vaidyagrama team, especially those at Illam 10!
I never imagined it was possible to find such levels of healing—wholeness of body, mind, and spirit—after only 3 weeks! You have treated me with such consideration and care, taking time and trouble at every step. The therapists, housekeeping, IT, maintenance, and of course, the doctors themselves, whose skills, insight, and dedication have been boundless.
I am deeply grateful for the healing and meaningful experience I have had at this time in my life.

This is my 8th trip to Vaidyagrama—you can tell, I like it. Actually, this has been the best stay of all. I have been battling cancer for two years, now well on the way to a cure. I came to get out of bad digestion, remove the extreme toxins, and regain some energy and stamina. Everyone has been wonderful and great at their jobs—from Krishna Ji, who made sure I got the necessary equipment to sleep in a semi-upright position, to the doctors, especially Dr. Vinod and Dr. Harikrishnan, who were very knowledgeable about my oesophageal cancer, to other doctors and therapists who were fascinatingly kind and gracious, to the cleaning staff who brought me flowers every day.
Special call out to Dr. Renjisha, therapist Shruti, and Lakshmi, and cleaner Bhaijaan. This has been a very special time of deep healing for me, and my sister says, “Whenever Diana comes back from Vaidyagrama, she radiates, glows, and twinkles.” I am extremely grateful to my other family and second home.
Thank you. Thank you.
All blessings…

Thank you, Vaidyagrama family. This was my first visit—41 days of Panchakarma. I greatly appreciate everyone's dedication and loving care. I like the beauty and the peacefulness of the surroundings, and I absolutely love the weather. Yes, from now on, I will drink more and more water, eat my meals at regular hours, and go to bed early, as prescribed by my doctor, Dr. Harikrishnan. This will be my New Year devotion to healing and rejuvenation, and by doing so, I will always be a member of Vaidyagrama.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Happy New Year 2025!

This is my second stay here, and it was a great experience. My sincere thanks to Dr. Ramanandan for his expert advice, guidance, and trust. Also, thanks to Dr. Sajna, who regularly checked on me to ensure I was comfortable with my treatments.
The magic workers—the therapists—a big shout-out to all involved in my treatment. Special mention to my therapist Kalpana Ji, whose hands are pure magic!
Glad to see Vaidyagrama expanding with extended accommodation facilities. It was a wonderful experience.
Thanks also to Dr. Ardent, Dr. Aparna, and Dr. Rose. Wishing you a Happy New Year and great success ahead!

Thank you so much for all the care you have shown—not only the doctors but also the therapists, chefs, cleaning staff, receptionist, and everyone. We felt your care and warmth towards us.
This was our first time experiencing Ayurveda, and it was an incredible and unique experience. Right now, we are feeling lighter, better, and stronger.
For me, personally, eating kanji for 6 days nonstop was the worst part.
For my husband, the first few days' meals were shocking, considering he is a meat lover, but after a few days, we fully adapted to the food here and enjoyed the lightness and the clarity our treatments brought.
We are thinking of coming back here one day with our families, as we loved the holistic approach taken here. Until that time, goodbye, and thanks once again for everything.
PS: We will let you know how we are feeling and our health status in a few months.
