TESTIMONIALS 2025
January 1, 2025
Dear Vaidyagrama family,
It has been a privilege to spend Christmas community lunch and New Year with you. The Christmas community lunch, the singing, and especially the cake were so touching. Dr. Om has been available to us for the silliest of issues as well. His open and friendly demeanor allows one to relax and share one's woes. The powerful chanting, morning and evening, has been an amazing experience. The treatments are undertaken with a lot of sacredness, which never failed to touch me. Special thanks to Vincy, who looked after me as if I were a baby. So much love and joy poured out throughout the process. For me, food and water were difficult to get used to, though I understand the thought behind the preparations. The ambience, the community spirit, and the sustainability Vision surpass all other such establishments that I have seen thus far. I pray that this model flourishes and is replicated all over the world. Kudos to these knowledgeable yogis, healing the world and all of you. Deep gratitude for what you bring.
Warm regards,

My treatment had many positives and one negative, unfortunately. The issue of chronic pain prevented me from making the most of it and completing in the time I had predicted. I will take care of all the learning I gained here. Thank you to everyone who welcomed me so warmly.

Dear Vaidyagrama staff,
Thank you for a great healing experience. Overall, my experience was very positive. The entire staff was friendly. They really care about the patients and treat them with a lot of care. Their care for customers shines through. The dining staff were also great. I especially liked that they were strict with the diet, and I enjoyed a friendly back-and-forth when I asked for extra food and they denied. Overall, the atmosphere and calmness were a great catalyst for both mental and physical healing.
The doctors were extremely knowledgeable and provided great care. The Satsangs and other activities were good to keep me from being too homesick. I made great friends whom I hope to stay in touch with. Finally, as this establishment looks to continuously grow, I would like to offer a thought to make this place even better. On the administrative side, it would be great to have formal acknowledgments. There were a couple of instances where I thought my requests would be taken care of, but I had to follow up multiple times for certain actions to be taken. There should be a system to track, acknowledge, and fulfill the requests.

I feel physically, mentally, spiritually refreshed. Big gratitude to Vaidya Dr. Ramanandan, who is an excellent doctor and understood my needs deeply and gave me inspiration. Big thank you to all the other doctors (Dr. Aparna), therapists, house cleaners and staff. My greatest respect for this healing village and its founders. I pray that your life is blessed!

Over the past few years, we were told by our friends to join vaidyagrama. Now being there, we understand why they were too enthusiastic about it. We feel the same. It's not only the excellent care by Dr. Ramanandan, the daily visits by Dr. Sajna with her sweet smile and the therapists’ good hands, but it’s also the quiet atmosphere of Vaidyagrama village which is healing. Thank you all.

This is my 4th visit to Vaidyagrama. I am always amazed at the love shown through all the staff’s actions …from the kitchen staff, doctors, treatment girls and room cleaners. They truly help make this a healing place and he lp me. I'm happy to call some of these wonderful people, friends.

This is my first time visiting Vaidyagrama. I didn’t know what to expect. I was immersed in a very caring bubble that I will truly miss when I leave. My healing includes my body, mind and spirit. After my husband died in 2024, Vaidyagrama was the warm hug that I needed. The staff, from doctors, the treatment girls, to cleaners and gardeners, were all so caring. I hope to return.

OM NAMAH SHIVAAY!
Today is the time to check out. We enjoyed our stay at Vaidyagrama. With this second visit, we have made many more friends, not to mention last year’s friends. Our group is becoming a livelier core group, and we hope to remain loyal. People do complain, but they should not compare this to a 5-star hotel. Everybody does their best, and most importantly, they are here for your health. I would like to see some inclusion of North Indian food. Everybody here is great, and you can see that in people’s smiles. See you in December 2025. Kudos to Dr. Ramkumar!

What an incredibly healing and deeply transformative 3 weeks I've had here at Vaidyagrama. I arrived with a wild & stressed pulse, full of anxiety and confusion about my life and my health. I fell into trust with the deeply healing process of all the doctors who gently led me through. The care, the attention and guidance were everything I needed and even more than I expected. As my body healed and I lost 9kg – my mind also healed, being able to listen to the wisdom of the doctors, especially the discussions with Dr Ramkumar, have changed the way I think. All diseases start in the mind, and my mind finally understands how to be healthy and my body follows. I will return next year. Thank you to every single person here for the health and love.

Being cared for by such giving, warm and caring people has been so nurturing through my time at Vaidyagrama. It has been a wonderful, calm place to come to from the general business and demands of day-to-day living. It has been just great to stop, reflect, be still, while undergoing such a deeply healing process. But mostly, it is the people I have come into contact with while being here, that I will take home in my heart, while appreciating the deeper principles of this space, Vaidyagrama. Punarnava is what that stands for with practice. It restores my faith in humanity – Now isn’t that something that’s deeply precious and healing! Thank you to the Vaidyagrama community.

To the extraordinary vaidyagrama family team,
My deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for making my stay in your unique village of healing, such a wholesome and enjoyable experience, rejuvenating my body, revitalising my mind and inspiring my soul. My special thanks to Dr Ramkumar for the benevolent and enlightening interactions, to Geetha Mohandas for her carrying commitment and enduring personality, and Aparna for a most cordial welcome.
I was equally impressed by the medical knowledge and practical wisdom of Dr Harikrishnan and also the professionalism of Dr Sajna, Dr Anagha and Dr Dhanya. The holistic treatment given by all the charming therapists contributes to my healing process. All my needs were taken care of, optimally by the staff (administrative, cleaning, laundry, etc). The culture of empathy and loving is so infectious that it melts the hearts of patients from across the globe, with very interesting biographies, but all sharing a deep interest and love for India. In a nutshell, my vaidyagrama experience was truly heartwarming. I shall certainly recommend it to my friends in India and abroad. May you continue to flourish…

What a great place to see in the new year and start changing the way I live! Vaidyagrama is truly an inspiration and it restores my faith in humanity. The care that goes to the patients, staff, animals, and the land is outstanding, with everything working in harmony. This is an amazing and massive achievement, and I feel privileged to have been able to come here. Many, many thanks to all the staff for taking care of me. Loved the food, loved the treatments, loved all the talks and activities, and loved the calm and peace of this place. Special thanks to the wonderful therapists and my main doctors, the beautiful Dr. Pavithra and Dr. Harikumar. Wishing Vaidyagrama all the best for the future. May you continue to flourish and keep living the dream.

An immense feeling of gratitude towards all who cared for me during the last 3 weeks. Dr Ramadas, Dr Aparna, Dr Sajna, Dr Ardent, thank you for your care and support. Of course, to all the therapists in my illam, Vishnupriya, Athira. I have been especially grateful to have been in such an uplifting and sattvic environment, and have felt nourished not only on a physical, but more importantly on a spiritual level. Thank you to Dr Ramkumar for the deeply inspiring Satsangs in particular, but to all those who spoke at Satsangs, I gained some insight. The chanting was a blessing. I hope to return. Many blessings to you all for your service.

Coming back to Vaidyagrama for the second time is like coming home, here it is not just about herbs and detoxification to heal the body but about reconnecting with our soul, guiding our minds, and resetting our natural clocks to the rhythm of Nature. Vaidyagrama is a true healing sanctuary in pursuit of a Vedic cause. A place to heal heart, body, mind and soul. I loved the daily poojas, Homas, where we can gather to experience one of the ancient Vedic cultures. I always tell my friends about this place and will come back again and again. Thank you for creating and maintaining this Vedic space and may you blossom and flourish more! Thank you to Dr. Ramadas and all the treating doctors.

Thank you to the wonderful team of doctors who looked after me during my 3-week visit. The amazing doctors who attended to every one of my needs were Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Pavithra, Dr. Mojin and Dr. Adarsha. This is my 4th visit, and it will not be forgotten. The doctors were tremendously kind and thoughtful, which helped brighten my days. They constantly reassured me through challenging moments and patiently and attentively answered every one of my questions, no matter how mundane. The therapists were highly skilled, and the treatments were extremely beneficial. Every encounter with the people here always brought a smile and they checked on my well-being. What stands out most is that there are no egos here. Everyone acts in a selfless way. There is purity and innocence here that you rarely see in our modern, busy, hectic lives. My health issues are already showing much improvement, and as with my previous visits, the healing will continue when I return home. Thank you.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
Thank you so much for all the care and support you have shown me during my time here. I learned so much during my stay about trust, surrender, adaptability and faith. Everyone adapted to the ups and downs with much care and attention, and I am deeply grateful. I had a wonderful experience in treatments with Nimi, Krishnapriya, Greeshma, Princy, Vincy, and Bindu. They all did fantastic jobs with the treatments as well as with food preparation and other services. Chembakavalli was a beautiful ray of sunshine each time she came and cleaned my room. She made my day every time she came, especially when I was sick with fever. Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Vinod were all phenomenal in my care. Dr. Prateek was also a wonderful support. He had great communication, would check in regularly, gave helpful information, and made sure things got done when requested.
A few pieces of feedback: When I arrived, I did not get an orientation, and then I got sick, so I didn’t know how things were supposed to go or where things were on the property. It would be good to make sure everyone gets a tour some time and a chance to learn the procedures when they arrive. (The whiteboards were very helpful.)
Reception appears to have a lot on their plate and would often forget to make important requests because of that. Maybe more people at the front with specific jobs—room requests/ calls/ tours /orientation, tech /Wi-Fi, etc.
Communication was sometimes lacking with doctors, therapists, and staff. It is fine for things to be delayed, but it would be helpful if we were notified about it as much as possible. I am so grateful for this opportunity and to have met all of you. Overall, my stay was beautiful, and I felt lucky to have been under all your care. Thank you for all that you do for this community.
With gratitude,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Happy today and thank you once again for a wonderful experience, rich in many ways. It was my 6th
Time; even though you may feel like a regular, you always learn something new about life and yourself. Thank you to all the people involved in making the stay special. Dr Ramadas, Dr Anagha and Dr Sajna for looking after me so well. I am so in awe of how the Centre is evolving, planting vegetables, forest, etc. End of December or by January is a very busy time of the year with many people and this is difficult to manage. I found at times there was too much noise. There is a bench next to room 305 and people come to chat here and use their phones. I love music, but every evening from 7:30 to 8:30, there is a very loud singing and chanting in Brahma Kamalam when you are trying to calm down in the evening. It is very disturbing. The internet in the rooms was very poor and slow. At 1000 Rupees per day you need a constant flow. People gathering and talking in the workplace is disturbing too. Thank you for the special time and I look forward to next year. All affections!

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
A heartfelt thank you for your care and support. It was my first visit and felt so peaceful during my 21-day stay here. Nature, serenity, humility, purity, everything touched my heart. I liked the morning prayers, Satsangs the most. Although my illness recovery will take more time, I am hopeful. A special thanks to Dr Aparna who was taking care of me to ensure nothing wrong can happen.
I am grateful to Dr Ramanandan and Dr Ardent not only for looking after my health issues, but also the mental/ personal relationship to ensure the overall healing of mind, body and soul is maintained. My only request to the Management would be to retain the authenticity and serenity of the place. Keeping the big trees and greeneries as much as possible, so with growing members of houses for the community people do not lose the originality and authenticity of the place. Again, many thanks to all the concerned doctors and supporting staff. I would like to come back here again.

Had a very pleasant experience and would love to be back. Dr Ramadas, Dr Aparna, Dr Sajna and Dr Ardent were very helpful. Thank you, Dr Ramadas, for everything. Loved the food, the activities, etc. My only complaint would be how the booking was handled. I was guaranteed to get a room at the time of booking, and got here to something opposite. They said the reason was that the other patients had prior bookings, and in conversation with 4 – 5 other patients, I was told they got here in lesser time than me. Just a bit more professionalism with the booking is needed. Maybe assign more than one person for this. I would have postponed my treatment had I known. So this was the only hiccup. So please don’t assure anything which is not fulfilled later. Highly non-professional. Therapists Athira and Vishnupriya were amazing too. Except for the rooms, my experience here was good. Thank you.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
It has been such a pleasure for me to meet so many of you, spend time here, and be treated so wonderfully! I have heard of you for years, and now I know and appreciate so many of you that I interacted with. Thank you to so many – including buggy drivers, food delivery and management. A special thank you to Dr. Om Prakash my doctor, and Sindhu my massage therapist. I loved my time here and expect to return for more treatment.

Dear Everyone at Vaidyagrama,
Thank you for a very special experience, my first in the Ayurveda philosophy. I think I have benefited enormously from the treatment, the silence, and the enforced inactivity— all of which I found difficult to begin with but grew to appreciate due to the thought and care that went into it. All the staff were a delight, and the rooms in Cluster 5 were spacious and comfortable. It was great to have the choice of eating alone in the dining room. The question now is - Will I be disciplined enough to continue with the treatments at home in France, where the temptations of food and wine are great? We’ll see…
PS: I reorganized the library into sections and languages. It would be good if it continued. Perhaps a note asking people to replace books where they found them? Thank you all again.

Dear team,
What a great experience for me with so many results! I didn’t expect anything specific, so I am really surprised and happy. The kindness of the entire team is fantastic. The room is comfortable. The most difficult for me was the lights everywhere, which were painful for my migraines, and second, the noise at night—dogs, phones, music... I hope I can come back soon. Thanks a lot!

Gratitude to all the gardeners, cooks, housekeepers, therapists, secretaries, receptionists and doctors. Thank you for this exceptional healing place. The only problem is there is no translation for an existing conference! I hope in French one day this will be possible because I couldn't understand the essence of the healing. Indian English is different. I miss you all very much and take care of yourselves. A special thanks to Dr. Harikumar and Dr. Mojin Mathew.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
Wow! What can I say? This is my first trip to India, and I came here! Although the Panchakarma (PK) I planned for did not happen, my intentions to surrender to my time here did. I planned to do a 30-day PK, but on my fourth day here, I got a nasty ear infection that required multiple trips to the hospital in town. That, along with a couple of other personal things that came up in the first week, threw a wrench in my plan to do PK. But I surrendered! And did the best I could to navigate these unforeseen obstacles. Now, I will be returning home after only being here for 13 days (yes, my ear is well enough for me to fly). However, I would not have managed any of these incidents without the love, compassion, and grace of everyone at Vaidyagrama. I feel beyond blessed for every moment spent here and am so grateful for the care I received. I felt like everyone here was genuinely looking out for me. Thank you, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Sajna, and especially Dr. Vishaga Lakshmi. Thank you to all the other doctors who checked in on me, followed up on my well-being, and cared for my ear. I am also grateful to everyone behind the scenes who makes it possible for the doctors and therapists to take care of us—housekeeping, laundry, IT, cooks, taxi drivers, reception, the financial office... the list goes on. Everyone I interacted with was so precious. Thank you. I could go on and on about my time here. It was splendid, minus the ear infection and other things that came up. I am grateful for the friends I met here and am in awe of how small this world really is.
Thank you, Vaidyagrama, for being at the center of this Ayurvedic healing village and for healing and touching lives across the globe. I look forward to returning in the future and successfully completing PK here, and hopefully many more to come.
In love and gratitude,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
It is hardly believable that 3 weeks have gone by, flown by, filled with love and kindness. The support through the healing process has been as always generous and kind. I am sad to leave and even sadder having been told to only come back in 2 years unless I do some mischief. I might just have to do that to be able to come back earlier. Thank you all at Vaidyagrama for another special and healing time here at this magical place. With love and gratitude

This is our second visit to Vaidyagrama; we gladly decided to come again for numerous reasons – all of which have been justified on this visit. We are very impressed with the quality of care and warmth that is now a hallmark of Vaidyagrama. The role of Dr Ramanandan is truly impressive. The professional quality of care and attention from Dr Ardent, Dr Aparna, Dr Sajna made our stay memorable. We look forward to our next visit and our return to the Vaidyagrama community.

Namaskar! This was our first experience of Panchakarma and it was such an experience! This sanctuary is not only healing our bodies, but also our minds and our souls. We had an incredible experience here, not always easy, but we are fully thankful for the kindness and comprehension of all the staff. Special thanks to our Illam 2 therapists during our stay. Their smiles and kindness were so helpful when we were struggling with our emotions. This place is unique, and we hope it will remain as such. Thank you to all the staff in vaidyagrama for the care. Dr. Ramadas for his wisdom. Thank you for all the kindness and powerful poojas! This place is never forgotten in our bodies/minds and hearts and souls.

Vaidyagrama is a place for healing the body and mind. I feel rejuvenated and peaceful towards the end of my treatment. It happens every time I come here. The serene atmosphere, friendly staff and especially the kind, caring, efficient therapists make this place a Home. Temples, prayer sessions, special pujas and celebration of festivals and Cow puja make me feel like I’m in a spiritual abode. The doctors are knowledgeable and full of humility. They have satisfactory answers to all questions related to treatment, spirituality and any other. Satsangs with Dr Ramkumar are a treat. I'm grateful to Dr Ramadas for his kindness and extraordinary skill of explaining anything in simple and practical terms. He is very unique and special thanks to him. He is very gentle, knowledgeable and answers all my questions and concerns with patience. Thanks to Dr Om Prakash for spending his valuable time with me to address some specific issues. Finally, I'm happy to meet and interact with people from all over the globe. I feel inspired with the dedication, devotion, and commitment here.

This human being is a guest house. Every morning, a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness of the camera as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows who violently sweep your house empty of all its furniture, still treat each guest honorably. He may be bringing you out for the same new delight. The dance of thought, the shame, the malice met them at the door laughing and invited them in. Be grateful for whoever comes because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
Deepest gratitude for the original Vision of Vaidyagrama to support and heal so many through the gift of Ayurveda. To each staff member who breathes life and love into this land, all who came bravely for treatments to honour their “guest house”—these bodies we are all so lucky to have! Thank you, Dr. Mojin and Dr. Anupama for your gentle care, and of course Dr. Ramanandan for the birds-eye macro chanting all the way! Sandhya, Kesiya, Athira, Aparna, Krishna Priya, Keerthi, and the whole VG family—Thank you for all you do! Blessings to all for a wonderful and happy 2025. See you back in Cluster 4 next year!

Dear VG Team,
This is my 4th stay here. My first was in 2018, and I missed a couple of years due to COVID. Each time I leave, I feel incredible. This was my first stay in the new block, and I found it very enjoyable. The rooms are spacious, and the therapists and doctors were friendly and helpful. It felt like our own little world within the VG grounds. Durga Leela always helps us get here and keeps us informed, which makes everything easier. As always, the staff was incredibly kind, thoughtful and patient. The only challenge was the noise in the dining room. It got rather loud with the dishwashing, making it difficult to hear anything. However, the staff in the dining hall was efficient. What a wonderful experience once again. I thank all my therapists for their kindness and patience, and my doctors for their expertise and care. So much growth, and more to come! Yet, you still maintain your clean ecological standards and Vision. It’s an honor to have such an experience. Thank you and keep up the amazing work of changing lives.

Dear VG,
This is my 5th visit here, coming from the USA. I have been shown a new way to help the body stay strong. As someone in the health field, I have not only felt better and more balanced in both mind and body, but I have also learned what might help others. The staff was the kindest, most compassionate, and intelligent group of doctors and treatment workers. I hope to take home some of their calm! I am grateful for the new block and appreciate the cleanliness and openness to native practices. People who care while curing is an unbelievable combination. I wish you all the health and kindness you have given me.

I have felt so much care during my 3.5 weeks of stay. So many kind and loving healers and caregivers. I loved it so much about myself—body, mind, emotions, and spirit. I am inspired by you all and integrate so much of what I have learned into my daily life back in the US. Gratitude for your patience, love and dedication to helping us all to be balanced and healed.
Much love,

Dear Vaidyagrama,
This is my third stay here with Durga Leela for Panchakarma. I haven’t been here for 8 years and was amazed to see the growth and how it has been done so beautifully. The staff are professional and kind. I am deeply touched by the kindness, gentleness and efficiency in responding to requests. I love the food, the walking paths, the cows, the cow pooja, and the Satsang and prayers. In the United States, I had a career working to protect the environment. To see your care for the land, animals, plants, trees, and how you practice the principles of sustainability makes my heart so happy. We in the United States could learn from you, as we have so much plastic and waste. My team of doctors and therapists were great. It didn’t matter who checked in with me or treated me; I was very well cared for. During my tour, I found that every day you feed people who are homeless. I love this gesture of kindness and compassion. I stayed in Cluster 5 and loved it. I preferred to eat meals in my room, and the staff was very accommodating. I found the dining room a bit noisy. My body, mind, and spirit leave happy and refreshed.
Namaste, thank you.

Now I have been here for the second time, and I go with tears in my eyes. I'm so thankful for this wonderful time here in Vaidyagrama. Everybody is doing an amazing job. When I came, it was like I’m coming home. The treatments, prayers, pujas, Satsang are nourishment for mind and body and spiritual growth. Special thanks to Dr Ramadas, Dr Aparna and also to Ivy for the wonderful Vedic Chant Satsang. I am filled with love and gratitude.

Dear Beloved Ones,
Heartfelt gratitude to all Vaidyagrama staff and Dr. Ramkumar. During the last three weeks of treatment, I felt completely taken care of, not only physically and emotionally but also spiritually. Thank you. As a patient in Block 5, I was under the care of extremely qualified doctors and therapists. Every detail was covered to my complete satisfaction. The maintenance staff were also very attentive, as were the reception staff. It will be a pleasure to return to Vaidyagrama when the time is right—I am already dreaming of my next visit. I plan to recommend this wholesome way of healing to everyone who is interested. It was wonderful to also discover how Vaidyagrama supports its local community. Keep up the great work. You are truly making a difference in the lives of many and positively affecting future generations. Cheers and congratulations.
Namaste,

Thank you all so much, such a healing, restorative time here. I feel better than when I arrived not only in body, but in mind and spirit. I look forward to bringing the many practices I have cultivated back home. Thank you for this beautiful gift and service you provide to all who come to Vaidyagrama.
With abundant gratitude,

My visit was hindered by my severe cough plus my buddy Mark couldn’t make it. But I met a couple of nice people and got some great treatments that made me feel wonderful.
Thank you!

This is my 5th or 6th visit. Sometimes I wonder why! The questions I ask in different ways, and I find, despite the language difficulties of the general staff, we communicate, and I end up with a soothing life-enhancing experience, and I return. The holistic healing offered the ecological statement made in this world of wasted dirt – an immaculately clean place where I find new energy. At the age of almost 80, that means a lot. There are so many and so much to be grateful for. My positive energy and wishes as you provide a very special healing place.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
It has been a privilege to spend Christmas community lunch and New Year with you. The Christmas community lunch, the singing, and especially the cake were so touching. Dr. Om has been available to us for the silliest of issues as well. His open and friendly demeanor allows one to relax and share one's woes. The powerful chanting, morning and evening, has been an amazing experience. The treatments are undertaken with a lot of sacredness, which never failed to touch me. Special thanks to Vincy, who looked after me as if I were a baby. So much love and joy poured out throughout the process. For me, food and water were difficult to get used to, though I understand the thought behind the preparations. The ambience, the community spirit, and the sustainability Vision surpass all other such establishments that I have seen thus far. I pray that this model flourishes and is replicated all over the world. Kudos to these knowledgeable yogis, healing the world and all of you. Deep gratitude for what you bring.
Warm regards,

My treatment had many positives and one negative, unfortunately. The issue of chronic pain prevented me from making the most of it and completing in the time I had predicted. I will take care of all the learning I gained here. Thank you to everyone who welcomed me so warmly.

Dear Vaidyagrama staff,
Thank you for a great healing experience. Overall, my experience was very positive. The entire staff was friendly. They really care about the patients and treat them with a lot of care. Their care for customers shines through. The dining staff were also great. I especially liked that they were strict with the diet, and I enjoyed a friendly back-and-forth when I asked for extra food and they denied. Overall, the atmosphere and calmness were a great catalyst for both mental and physical healing.
The doctors were extremely knowledgeable and provided great care. The Satsangs and other activities were good to keep me from being too homesick. I made great friends whom I hope to stay in touch with. Finally, as this establishment looks to continuously grow, I would like to offer a thought to make this place even better. On the administrative side, it would be great to have formal acknowledgments. There were a couple of instances where I thought my requests would be taken care of, but I had to follow up multiple times for certain actions to be taken. There should be a system to track, acknowledge, and fulfill the requests.

I feel physically, mentally, spiritually refreshed. Big gratitude to Vaidya Dr. Ramanandan, who is an excellent doctor and understood my needs deeply and gave me inspiration. Big thank you to all the other doctors (Dr. Aparna), therapists, house cleaners and staff. My greatest respect for this healing village and its founders. I pray that your life is blessed!

Over the past few years, we were told by our friends to join vaidyagrama. Now being there, we understand why they were too enthusiastic about it. We feel the same. It's not only the excellent care by Dr. Ramanandan, the daily visits by Dr. Sajna with her sweet smile and the therapists’ good hands, but it’s also the quiet atmosphere of Vaidyagrama village which is healing. Thank you all.

This is my first time visiting Vaidyagrama. I didn’t know what to expect. I was immersed in a very caring bubble that I will truly miss when I leave. My healing includes my body, mind and spirit. After my husband died in 2024, Vaidyagrama was the warm hug that I needed. The staff, from doctors, the treatment girls, to cleaners and gardeners, were all so caring. I hope to return.

OM NAMAH SHIVAAY!
Today is the time to check out. We enjoyed our stay at Vaidyagrama. With this second visit, we have made many more friends, not to mention last year’s friends. Our group is becoming a livelier core group, and we hope to remain loyal. People do complain, but they should not compare this to a 5-star hotel. Everybody does their best, and most importantly, they are here for your health. I would like to see some inclusion of North Indian food. Everybody here is great, and you can see that in people’s smiles. See you in December 2025. Kudos to Dr. Ramkumar!

What an incredibly healing and deeply transformative 3 weeks I've had here at Vaidyagrama. I arrived with a wild & stressed pulse, full of anxiety and confusion about my life and my health. I fell into trust with the deeply healing process of all the doctors who gently led me through. The care, the attention and guidance were everything I needed and even more than I expected. As my body healed and I lost 9kg – my mind also healed, being able to listen to the wisdom of the doctors, especially the discussions with Dr Ramkumar, have changed the way I think. All diseases start in the mind, and my mind finally understands how to be healthy and my body follows. I will return next year. Thank you to every single person here for the health and love.

Being cared for by such giving, warm and caring people has been so nurturing through my time at Vaidyagrama. It has been a wonderful, calm place to come to from the general business and demands of day-to-day living. It has been just great to stop, reflect, be still, while undergoing such a deeply healing process. But mostly, it is the people I have come into contact with while being here, that I will take home in my heart, while appreciating the deeper principles of this space, Vaidyagrama. Punarnava is what that stands for with practice. It restores my faith in humanity – Now isn’t that something that’s deeply precious and healing! Thank you to the Vaidyagrama community.

To the extraordinary vaidyagrama family team,
My deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for making my stay in your unique village of healing, such a wholesome and enjoyable experience, rejuvenating my body, revitalising my mind and inspiring my soul. My special thanks to Dr Ramkumar for the benevolent and enlightening interactions, to Geetha Mohandas for her carrying commitment and enduring personality, and Aparna for a most cordial welcome.
I was equally impressed by the medical knowledge and practical wisdom of Dr Harikrishnan and also the professionalism of Dr Sajna, Dr Anagha and Dr Dhanya. The holistic treatment given by all the charming therapists contributes to my healing process. All my needs were taken care of, optimally by the staff (administrative, cleaning, laundry, etc). The culture of empathy and loving is so infectious that it melts the hearts of patients from across the globe, with very interesting biographies, but all sharing a deep interest and love for India. In a nutshell, my vaidyagrama experience was truly heartwarming. I shall certainly recommend it to my friends in India and abroad. May you continue to flourish…

What a great place to see in the new year and start changing the way I live! Vaidyagrama is truly an inspiration and it restores my faith in humanity. The care that goes to the patients, staff, animals, and the land is outstanding, with everything working in harmony. This is an amazing and massive achievement, and I feel privileged to have been able to come here. Many, many thanks to all the staff for taking care of me. Loved the food, loved the treatments, loved all the talks and activities, and loved the calm and peace of this place. Special thanks to the wonderful therapists and my main doctors, the beautiful Dr. Pavithra and Dr. Harikumar. Wishing Vaidyagrama all the best for the future. May you continue to flourish and keep living the dream.

An immense feeling of gratitude towards all who cared for me during the last 3 weeks. Dr Ramadas, Dr Aparna, Dr Sajna, Dr Ardent, thank you for your care and support. Of course, to all the therapists in my illam, Vishnupriya, Athira. I have been especially grateful to have been in such an uplifting and sattvic environment, and have felt nourished not only on a physical, but more importantly on a spiritual level. Thank you to Dr Ramkumar for the deeply inspiring Satsangs in particular, but to all those who spoke at Satsangs, I gained some insight. The chanting was a blessing. I hope to return. Many blessings to you all for your service.

Coming back to Vaidyagrama for the second time is like coming home, here it is not just about herbs and detoxification to heal the body but about reconnecting with our soul, guiding our minds, and resetting our natural clocks to the rhythm of Nature. Vaidyagrama is a true healing sanctuary in pursuit of a Vedic cause. A place to heal heart, body, mind and soul. I loved the daily poojas, Homas, where we can gather to experience one of the ancient Vedic cultures. I always tell my friends about this place and will come back again and again. Thank you for creating and maintaining this Vedic space and may you blossom and flourish more! Thank you to Dr. Ramadas and all the treating doctors.

Thank you to the wonderful team of doctors who looked after me during my 3-week visit. The amazing doctors who attended to every one of my needs were Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Pavithra, Dr. Mojin and Dr. Adarsha. This is my 4th visit, and it will not be forgotten. The doctors were tremendously kind and thoughtful, which helped brighten my days. They constantly reassured me through challenging moments and patiently and attentively answered every one of my questions, no matter how mundane. The therapists were highly skilled, and the treatments were extremely beneficial. Every encounter with the people here always brought a smile and they checked on my well-being. What stands out most is that there are no egos here. Everyone acts in a selfless way. There is purity and innocence here that you rarely see in our modern, busy, hectic lives. My health issues are already showing much improvement, and as with my previous visits, the healing will continue when I return home. Thank you.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
Thank you so much for all the care and support you have shown me during my time here. I learned so much during my stay about trust, surrender, adaptability and faith. Everyone adapted to the ups and downs with much care and attention, and I am deeply grateful. I had a wonderful experience in treatments with Nimi, Krishnapriya, Greeshma, Princy, Vincy, and Bindu. They all did fantastic jobs with the treatments as well as with food preparation and other services. Chembakavalli was a beautiful ray of sunshine each time she came and cleaned my room. She made my day every time she came, especially when I was sick with fever. Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Vinod were all phenomenal in my care. Dr. Prateek was also a wonderful support. He had great communication, would check in regularly, gave helpful information, and made sure things got done when requested.
A few pieces of feedback: When I arrived, I did not get an orientation, and then I got sick, so I didn’t know how things were supposed to go or where things were on the property. It would be good to make sure everyone gets a tour some time and a chance to learn the procedures when they arrive. (The whiteboards were very helpful.)
Reception appears to have a lot on their plate and would often forget to make important requests because of that. Maybe more people at the front with specific jobs—room requests/ calls/ tours /orientation, tech /Wi-Fi, etc.
Communication was sometimes lacking with doctors, therapists, and staff. It is fine for things to be delayed, but it would be helpful if we were notified about it as much as possible. I am so grateful for this opportunity and to have met all of you. Overall, my stay was beautiful, and I felt lucky to have been under all your care. Thank you for all that you do for this community.
With gratitude,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Happy today and thank you once again for a wonderful experience, rich in many ways. It was my 6th
Time; even though you may feel like a regular, you always learn something new about life and yourself. Thank you to all the people involved in making the stay special. Dr Ramadas, Dr Anagha and Dr Sajna for looking after me so well. I am so in awe of how the Centre is evolving, planting vegetables, forest, etc. End of December or by January is a very busy time of the year with many people and this is difficult to manage. I found at times there was too much noise. There is a bench next to room 305 and people come to chat here and use their phones. I love music, but every evening from 7:30 to 8:30, there is a very loud singing and chanting in Brahma Kamalam when you are trying to calm down in the evening. It is very disturbing. The internet in the rooms was very poor and slow. At 1000 Rupees per day you need a constant flow. People gathering and talking in the workplace is disturbing too. Thank you for the special time and I look forward to next year. All affections!

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
A heartfelt thank you for your care and support. It was my first visit and felt so peaceful during my 21-day stay here. Nature, serenity, humility, purity, everything touched my heart. I liked the morning prayers, Satsangs the most. Although my illness recovery will take more time, I am hopeful. A special thanks to Dr Aparna who was taking care of me to ensure nothing wrong can happen.
I am grateful to Dr Ramanandan and Dr Ardent not only for looking after my health issues, but also the mental/ personal relationship to ensure the overall healing of mind, body and soul is maintained. My only request to the Management would be to retain the authenticity and serenity of the place. Keeping the big trees and greeneries as much as possible, so with growing members of houses for the community people do not lose the originality and authenticity of the place. Again, many thanks to all the concerned doctors and supporting staff. I would like to come back here again.

Had a very pleasant experience and would love to be back. Dr Ramadas, Dr Aparna, Dr Sajna and Dr Ardent were very helpful. Thank you, Dr Ramadas, for everything. Loved the food, the activities, etc. My only complaint would be how the booking was handled. I was guaranteed to get a room at the time of booking, and got here to something opposite. They said the reason was that the other patients had prior bookings, and in conversation with 4 – 5 other patients, I was told they got here in lesser time than me. Just a bit more professionalism with the booking is needed. Maybe assign more than one person for this. I would have postponed my treatment had I known. So this was the only hiccup. So please don’t assure anything which is not fulfilled later. Highly non-professional. Therapists Athira and Vishnupriya were amazing too. Except for the rooms, my experience here was good. Thank you.

I have heard of you for years, and now I know and appreciate so many of you that I interacted with. Thank you to so many – including buggy drivers, food delivery and management. A special thank you to Dr. Om Prakash my doctor, and Sindhu my massage therapist. I loved my time here and expect to return for more treatment.

Dear Everyone at Vaidyagrama,
Thank you for a very special experience, my first in the Ayurveda philosophy. I think I have benefited enormously from the treatment, the silence, and the enforced inactivity— all of which I found difficult to begin with but grew to appreciate due to the thought and care that went into it. All the staff were a delight, and the rooms in Cluster 5 were spacious and comfortable. It was great to have the choice of eating alone in the dining room. The question now is - Will I be disciplined enough to continue with the treatments at home in France, where the temptations of food and wine are great? We’ll see…
PS: I reorganized the library into sections and languages. It would be good if it continued. Perhaps a note asking people to replace books where they found them? Thank you all again.

Dear team,
What a great experience for me with so many results! I didn’t expect anything specific, so I am really surprised and happy. The kindness of the entire team is fantastic. The room is comfortable. The most difficult for me was the lights everywhere, which were painful for my migraines, and second, the noise at night—dogs, phones, music... I hope I can come back soon. Thanks a lot!

Gratitude to all the gardeners, cooks, housekeepers, therapists, secretaries, receptionists and doctors. Thank you for this exceptional healing place. The only problem is there is no translation for an existing conference! I hope in French one day this will be possible because I couldn't understand the essence of the healing. Indian English is different. I miss you all very much and take care of yourselves. A special thanks to Dr. Harikumar and Dr. Mojin Mathew.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
Wow! What can I say? This is my first trip to India, and I came here! Although the Panchakarma (PK) I planned for did not happen, my intentions to surrender to my time here did. I planned to do a 30-day PK, but on my fourth day here, I got a nasty ear infection that required multiple trips to the hospital in town. That, along with a couple of other personal things that came up in the first week, threw a wrench in my plan to do PK. But I surrendered! And did the best I could to navigate these unforeseen obstacles. Now, I will be returning home after only being here for 13 days (yes, my ear is well enough for me to fly). However, I would not have managed any of these incidents without the love, compassion, and grace of everyone at Vaidyagrama. I feel beyond blessed for every moment spent here and am so grateful for the care I received. I felt like everyone here was genuinely looking out for me. Thank you, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Sajna, and especially Dr. Vishaga Lakshmi. Thank you to all the other doctors who checked in on me, followed up on my well-being, and cared for my ear. I am also grateful to everyone behind the scenes who makes it possible for the doctors and therapists to take care of us—housekeeping, laundry, IT, cooks, taxi drivers, reception, the financial office... the list goes on. Everyone I interacted with was so precious. Thank you. I could go on and on about my time here. It was splendid, minus the ear infection and other things that came up. I am grateful for the friends I met here and am in awe of how small this world really is.
Thank you, Vaidyagrama, for being at the center of this Ayurvedic healing village and for healing and touching lives across the globe. I look forward to returning in the future and successfully completing PK here, and hopefully many more to come.
In love and gratitude,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
It is hardly believable that 3 weeks have gone by, flown by, filled with love and kindness. The support through the healing process has been as always generous and kind. I am sad to leave and even sadder having been told to only come back in 2 years unless I do some mischief. I might just have to do that to be able to come back earlier. Thank you all at Vaidyagrama for another special and healing time here at this magical place. With love and gratitude

We are very impressed with the quality of care and warmth that is now a hallmark of Vaidyagrama. The role of Dr Ramanandan is truly impressive. The professional quality of care and attention from Dr Ardent, Dr Aparna, Dr Sajna made our stay memorable. We look forward to our next visit and our return to the Vaidyagrama community.

Namaskar! This was our first experience of Panchakarma and it was such an experience! This sanctuary is not only healing our bodies, but also our minds and our souls. We had an incredible experience here, not always easy, but we are fully thankful for the kindness and comprehension of all the staff. Special thanks to our Illam 2 therapists during our stay. Their smiles and kindness were so helpful when we were struggling with our emotions. This place is unique, and we hope it will remain as such. Thank you to all the staff in vaidyagrama for the care. Dr. Ramadas for his wisdom. Thank you for all the kindness and powerful poojas! This place is never forgotten in our bodies/minds and hearts and souls.

Vaidyagrama is a place for healing the body and mind. I feel rejuvenated and peaceful towards the end of my treatment. It happens every time I come here. The serene atmosphere, friendly staff and especially the kind, caring, efficient therapists make this place a Home. Temples, prayer sessions, special pujas and celebration of festivals and Cow puja make me feel like I’m in a spiritual abode. The doctors are knowledgeable and full of humility. They have satisfactory answers to all questions related to treatment, spirituality and any other. Satsangs with Dr Ramkumar are a treat. I'm grateful to Dr Ramadas for his kindness and extraordinary skill of explaining anything in simple and practical terms. He is very unique and special thanks to him. He is very gentle, knowledgeable and answers all my questions and concerns with patience. Thanks to Dr Om Prakash for spending his valuable time with me to address some specific issues. Finally, I'm happy to meet and interact with people from all over the globe. I feel inspired with the dedication, devotion, and commitment here.

This human being is a guest house. Every morning, a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness of the camera as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows who violently sweep your house empty of all its furniture, still treat each guest honorably. He may be bringing you out for the same new delight. The dance of thought, the shame, the malice met them at the door laughing and invited them in. Be grateful for whoever comes because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
Deepest gratitude for the original Vision of Vaidyagrama to support and heal so many through the gift of Ayurveda. To each staff member who breathes life and love into this land, all who came bravely for treatments to honour their “guest house”—these bodies we are all so lucky to have! Thank you, Dr. Mojin and Dr. Anupama for your gentle care, and of course Dr. Ramanandan for the birds-eye macro chanting all the way! Sandhya, Kesiya, Athira, Aparna, Krishna Priya, Keerthi, and the whole VG family—Thank you for all you do! Blessings to all for a wonderful and happy 2025. See you back in Cluster 4 next year!

Dear VG Team,
This is my 4th stay here. My first was in 2018, and I missed a couple of years due to COVID. Each time I leave, I feel incredible. This was my first stay in the new block, and I found it very enjoyable. The rooms are spacious, and the therapists and doctors were friendly and helpful. It felt like our own little world within the VG grounds. Durga Leela always helps us get here and keeps us informed, which makes everything easier. As always, the staff was incredibly kind, thoughtful and patient. The only challenge was the noise in the dining room. It got rather loud with the dishwashing, making it difficult to hear anything. However, the staff in the dining hall was efficient. What a wonderful experience once again. I thank all my therapists for their kindness and patience, and my doctors for their expertise and care. So much growth, and more to come! Yet, you still maintain your clean ecological standards and Vision. It’s an honor to have such an experience. Thank you and keep up the amazing work of changing lives.

Dear VG,
This is my 5th visit here, coming from the USA. I have been shown a new way to help the body stay strong. As someone in the health field, I have not only felt better and more balanced in both mind and body, but I have also learned what might help others. The staff was the kindest, most compassionate, and intelligent group of doctors and treatment workers. I hope to take home some of their calm! I am grateful for the new block and appreciate the cleanliness and openness to native practices. People who care while curing is an unbelievable combination. I wish you all the health and kindness you have given me.

I have felt so much care during my 3.5 weeks of stay. So many kind and loving healers and caregivers. I loved it so much about myself—body, mind, emotions, and spirit.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
This is my third stay here with Durga Leela for Panchakarma. I haven’t been here for 8 years and was amazed to see the growth and how it has been done so beautifully. The staff are professional and kind. I am deeply touched by the kindness, gentleness and efficiency in responding to requests. I love the food, the walking paths, the cows, the cow pooja, and the Satsang and prayers. In the United States, I had a career working to protect the environment. To see your care for the land, animals, plants, trees, and how you practice the principles of sustainability makes my heart so happy. We in the United States could learn from you, as we have so much plastic and waste. My team of doctors and therapists were great. It didn’t matter who checked in with me or treated me; I was very well cared for. During my tour, I found that every day you feed people who are homeless. I love this gesture of kindness and compassion. I stayed in Cluster 5 and loved it. I preferred to eat meals in my room, and the staff was very accommodating. I found the dining room a bit noisy. My body, mind, and spirit leave happy and refreshed.
Namaste, thank you.

Now I have been here for the second time, and I go with tears in my eyes. I'm so thankful for this wonderful time here in Vaidyagrama. Everybody is doing an amazing job. When I came, it was like I’m coming home. The treatments, prayers, pujas, Satsang are nourishment for mind and body and spiritual growth. Special thanks to Dr Ramadas, Dr Aparna and also to Ivy for the wonderful Vedic Chant Satsang. I am filled with love and gratitude.

Dear Beloved Ones,
Heartfelt gratitude to all Vaidyagrama staff and Dr. Ramkumar. During the last three weeks of treatment, I felt completely taken care of, not only physically and emotionally but also spiritually. Thank you. As a patient in Block 5, I was under the care of extremely qualified doctors and therapists. Every detail was covered to my complete satisfaction. The maintenance staff were also very attentive, as were the reception staff. It will be a pleasure to return to Vaidyagrama when the time is right—I am already dreaming of my next visit. I plan to recommend this wholesome way of healing to everyone who is interested. It was wonderful to also discover how Vaidyagrama supports its local community. Keep up the great work. You are truly making a difference in the lives of many and positively affecting future generations. Cheers and congratulations.
Namaste,

This is my 5th or 6th visit. Sometimes I wonder why! The questions I ask in different ways, and I find, despite the language difficulties of the general staff, we communicate, and I end up with a soothing life-enhancing experience, and I return. The holistic healing offered the ecological statement made in this world of wasted dirt – an immaculately clean place where I find new energy. At the age of almost 80, that means a lot. There are so many and so much to be grateful for. My positive energy and wishes as you provide a very special healing place.

Kalpana Akka – Thank you for holding my hand and taking care of me through Vasti. You were so attentive to every detail and helped me understand everything. I hope we can meet again! Dr Ardent – Thank you for giving me more food so I didn’t go hungry. Vasantha ji and others – Thank you for cleaning my room every day with a smile and making me feel at home.

Oh Vaidyagrama, what can I say?

That which is hurting, heals.
That which requires attention, is loved.

The team of therapists – Libin, Ratheesh and Binil – were so professional and kind, with wonderful smiles during my third Panchakarma at VG. Dr Hima, Dr Arun and Dr Vishagalakshmi were very organized, making it all happen seamlessly. The therapists always welcomed us with warm smiles.
Thanks to Dr Ramadas for his great insight, leading us in so many aspects of wellness and life experience. Namaste.
So now, with a spring in my step, I continue my journey with joy and carry the privilege of again saying thanks to all.

To the Shiva and shakti in Vaidyagrama. My 4th visit since 2022, and I remain amazed and grateful for this Divine sense of healing and love. I have learned so much from everyone – those named and unnamed souls who transit and reset my life. All the doctors, the ones who attended to me directly – Dr Ramadas, Dr Ramanandan, Dr Harikrishnan, Dr Om Prakash, Dr Vinod, Dr Anupama, Dr Vishagalakshmi, and Dr Hima – Everyone was so talented and attentive. Special mention to Dr Hima, Dr Vishagalakshmi and Dr Prateek for their hard work on my skin tag. Too many to name, including those from the community – a community I love. I have the Sankalp to be back every year from January to September for the sweetness of Vaidyagrama.

This is the first time I am here in Vaidyagrama. After spending just 2 days, I decided to visit this place every year – that’s how much I liked it. The service and the food are so authentic and very professional. Very calm nature, loving and caring people. Everyone receives us with a cute smile on their face. There is no complaint – everything is so good. The service of this community should continue forever.
Wishing everyone in this family a wonderful life and success.

My first visit to Vaidyagrama has been an unexpected journey. I reserved my stay for 10 days following our yoga program at Isha Yoga Centre. My intent was to give time and attention to a condition that came on suddenly 2 years ago and left me with some residual facial paralysis. On my taxi ride to Vaidyagrama, I had fallen sick with a temparature that lasted most of the 4 days after my arrival. Mere respiratory symptoms also caused distress. Vaidyagrama describes itself as a home for healthy and happy living. The hospital is designed to make people feel at home. Vaidyagrama succeeded at this goal beyond my expectation (if I had any at that point). My stay has now lasted 15 days, and I feel much improved from my arrival status. I was completely consumed by my illness for the first week. I became very weak and lethargic. Treatment started after my fever broke. The treatments are generally soothing. Every evening, my doctor would pay me a visit to ask how the treatment had gone for me that day and what treatment plan changes there might be for the following day. Even at my lowest point, the doctor came to understand that I was having a hard time grasping what was going on. I felt comfortable enough to let go and just be – eating what I could, but without judgment or pressure to be or do something I didn't feel ready for. The general approach of the doctors – explaining what they were observing and why my body was behaving the way it was (fever on and off, up and down) – made me feel more compassionate toward myself. Being sick for days and days can lead to a feeling of helplessness or frustration. The daily conversations with my doctors helped me feel like I could support myself better. I truly felt that I was among family. I felt that all my caregivers – from the therapists to the room cleaners, those who brought me kashayam, steam, and my meals – all these many people asked me how I was feeling today. This may have been all the English they could manage, but it served to make me feel cared for and included. Now that I am feeling well enough to travel, I am leaving a little of the other offerings at Vaidyagrama and have a desire to return in the future to experience some of the Satsang and cooking classes. I love the mission and goals of Vaidyagrama – to offer a place of community, wellness, and wholeness, honouring the earth and the natural environment. In my heart of hearts, there can be no other way. The attention and commitment to supporting the local community, as well as providing a place of healing and family for those visiting from all over the world, inspires me. I am most grateful that my unexpected illness stripped me of any ideas or expectations I may have brought with me and instead allowed me to fall into the healing arms of Vaidyagrama. Thank you to those who persevered to bring Vaidyagrama into being. It is a healing model whose time and place couldn't be more necessary and important.
With lots of love and gratitude,

This was my second time at Vaidyagrama, so I thought I knew what to expect, but I was quite wrong. While many aspects were the same, such as all your lovely and caring staff and the wisdom shared, I felt as though I had a completely different experience. With more to heal, I had a more intense journey to go on. And although it was harder, I am now even more grateful for you all. Thanks to the beautiful team in Illam 10. You are wonderful. Forever grateful for the environment you have created. Thank you.

Thank you to all the doctors, therapists, reception and everyone. Love the greenery and fresh air (I love the view from my balcony). Love the morning Pooja and cooking class. Love the Takra dhara treatment and oil massage. I find immense peace and rejuvenation through Ayurvedic massage and herbal therapies.

It is so pure, and the vibration is very high. It is an amazing and beautiful centre—deeply healing and spiritual. My experience here was wonderful. I was cared for with so much love and skill. I have had a very deep healing. The problems I came here with have all either disappeared or improved by 90%, including my anxiety. Now my mind is calm and centred in the present moment and in love. I benefited a lot from the talks, Satsangs and spiritual routine.
I bow to all of you and wish you happiness, love and blessings.

Dear Team of VD 2
Thank you so much for supporting my transformative journey here at Vaidyagrama. It has truly been a ride, and I am grateful for being here. What a cleanse on the body, mind, emotional and spiritual level! It has been beyond my expectations. Now I can really say that I know and FEEL Ayurveda at its essence.
Shout out to Dr Ardent & the beautiful therapists for holding the space so gently and kindly during my Vamana. I will never forget this! And thanks to Dr Ramanandan for challenging me in a good way!
The essence of what I am taking from this time here is that everything in Nature grows organically. You cannot push a flower to bloom. We know ourselves to be made from this earth. We know this earth is made from our bodies. For we see ourselves. We are a concept of Nature. Nature speaking to NATURE ~ Susan Griffin, from the book "Fruitful Darkness" by Joan Halifax.
I will keep in touch and will be back soon! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Our experience has been a mixed bag—some positive and a bit negative. This is my first Panchakarma retreat, and I came with high hopes. Although some improvement has occurred, my high hopes were not met. To be fair, my issue is a longstanding one and will require many more months of diet and behaviour modifications to achieve my goals.
The facilities in your village are quite enchanting. Having the forest all around is healing and delightful, although the mosquitoes are not. I would suggest ultraviolet mosquito traps in the treatment room, as I inevitably came out of treatment with several new bites. No fun! The staff and the Ayurveda therapists were wonderful. We felt nurtured and cared for by them. I felt a close bond develop with my main therapist. I hope to stay connected. We felt challenged by our main doctor and his intense bedside manner. The main challenge, however, was the strange relationship you have with time. You’re constantly late and constantly changing the schedule—sometimes communicating well, then not keeping your promises and suggestions. Be careful and thoughtful about what you say and keep your word. It was also very difficult to get moments of peace. Every few minutes, somebody came to the door or entered the room. It was nearly impossible to get undisturbed time to meditate and rest. The highlight for me was the warm and delightful relationship I developed with some of the staff and patients from all over the world. As for the effectiveness of my treatment, the jury is still out. Although some changes are obvious, others may take more time, and I look forward to them occurring over the next couple of months. Thank you for one of the most fascinating experiences of my lifetime.

It started with my wife telling me about Ayurveda and what happened to her afterwards.
At first I wasn't entirely convinced, but I am open to many things. I arrived here with pain and various issues that were weighing on me. I was able to share this beautiful, quiet place with these great people during my two weeks. I enjoyed all the treatments. Everyone here is so accommodating, nice, and smiles at you. I am pain-free—almost magically. I love it here.

Vaidyagrama is truly a magical place—so vibrant, so connected to Nature, and with so much healing energy. I was looking for a place where Ayurveda is authentically practised, where you can feel the rooted wisdom and witness its effect on body, mind and soul. Now I feel so lucky and deeply grateful that I chose Vaidyagrama for my first Panchakarma experience. Can’t imagine a better place.
From my heart, thank you to everyone who took care of me during the process. From the first moment, I felt safe and held with so much kindness and compassion. Everything feels aligned here—the surroundings, the buildings, the nourishing food, the prayers, the lectures, the poojas, just to name a few.
And the doctors and therapists are amazing! Thank you, Dr Ardent, Dr Ramanandan, and Dr Aparna, for your time, knowledge, energy and informative answers. Thank you, my therapist Unnimaya, for your powerful touch, presence and liveliness.
Thank you, Kalpana, for your loving motherly energy and soothing touch.
Thank you, Vasanthamani ji, for bringing beautiful fresh flowers every day and for decorating our little altar with them. So much gratitude to all Vaidyagrama family members—my heart is full, and I can’t wait to come back!
Take care and see you!

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
This is my 3rd time with you since 2020. It is always a great pleasure to be here. It is definitely one of the best places to heal physically and of course, mentally too. Yes, all the practices and prayers are good, and the spiritual environment helps a lot, but beyond that, it’s knowing that everyone—from doctors to therapists and staff—every single person has the warmest heart with a gentle smile that tells you that you are cared for and loved. What more does one need! Thank you for the healing. We feel welcome, precious, heard, safe and taken care of.
Vaidyagrama now feels like a second home to me, and I can return any time. Looking forward to my next trip. Thank you so much. Much love!!!

This was my first Panchakarma experience. A month or two before coming from the US to travel here, I was already feeling something in my body—somehow related to the upcoming process. I came in without expectations, only with some specific issues to address.
The doctors are all so attentive, loving and have a great depth of knowledge. I felt like I was very well taken care of. The consultations were thorough, and I felt deeply listened to. The therapists all seem dedicated to their clients. I very much appreciated the prayers before beginning the treatments. My only piece of feedback is that there is some variation in the treatment procedures and skill levels of the therapists. I suggest more mentoring of the less experienced therapists by the more experienced ones. This would improve consistency, I feel.
Overall, my experience was very positive, and I did get what I came for: more consciousness of my body and mind and how they are connected, practical changes I can make to stay healthy, and a quieter nervous system.
Thank you all! I will be back.
Much love,

This is the 20th day. We leave today, and I feel lighter, more hopeful— & emptier in a good way. I'm ready to fill myself with a more loving, less judgmental way of being. I came with a few chronic issues and am leaving with them quieter. It takes up less space. The doctors were knowledgeable and listened well. I felt taken care of by them.
It's hard for me to find words right now.
Thank you, Vaidyagrama! Thank you to all who tend to this Vision. Thank you for what you are doing on the planet.

Namaskaram,
My wife and I enrolled in a 22-day program for basic health rejuvenation Panchakarma. We are very pleased with the treatment. We are extremely happy with Dr Rose, Dr Ardent and Dr Ramanandan. We are blessed to have met them and come to know them. I shall pen a few comments and suggestions by email. Everyone is friendly and committed. Some are more than friendly—dedicated and inventive, like the therapist Satish. I would like to see him as a trainer for other therapists. Except for the overcharged taxi facility for Madhuvanthi's x-ray visit, the rest of the experience was exceptional and yielded results.
Thank you, a BIG THANK YOU!!

Vaidyagrama felt like home to me. The doctors and staff are very simple and down-to-earth people. I came here a bit anxious about spending 21 days, but the time spent with the people here—attending cooking classes, Satsangs, and enjoying music in the evenings—made the 21 days go by in a breeze.
I also found good relief for my condition and am looking forward to returning here again. Special thanks to Dr Harikumar, Dr Anupama, Dr Pavitra and Dr Mojin for being co-operative and understanding.

Our first experience at Vaidyagrama was truly exceptional. My husband and I are incredibly happy with our time here, and our bodies feel deeply rejuvenated.
A heartfelt thank you to the dedicated team of doctors and therapists. Your care and expertise made all the difference. Special mention to Dr Dhanya, Dr Aruna, Dr Sajna, and therapist Prajisha, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Prajisha, in particular, was outstanding. Her warmth and attentiveness made our healing journey even more comforting. And from the housekeeping team, Mrs. Sumati was very helpful. The only issue we encountered was the presence of cockroaches in the bathroom daily. If this could be addressed, it would greatly enhance the overall experience.
That said, our stay was truly wonderful, and we can't wait to return. Vaidyagrama has become a second home for us.

Coming from the UK and only being exposed to the Western approach to healthcare has often left me feeling confused, powerless and disappointed. Despite all our new technology and innovations, Western medicine is but a small child with new toys compared to the ancient wisdom of the Vedas, where Ayurveda stems from. The science of common sense, from discovering the eternal Truth and fundamental principles that govern our universe and bodies, allows for an individualized approach to optimum health—restoring the ability to manage our own life and health.
If I could design a centre for open-minded patients to heal, learn and be loved, Vaidyagrama would be it. From treatments, accommodation, diet advice, prayer, classes, Satsangs, people, wildlife, healing and wisdom—Vaidyagrama has incorporated it all.
Our time with all the doctors has opened our minds and hearts. They are truly intent on bringing health and balance. Ideally, they never want to see their patients at the centre again. Therefore, they impart as much after-care help and guidance as possible to ensure you have all the tools to continue an ailment-free life.
I feel very blessed to have come across this oasis and will be forever grateful to our doctors, therapists, cooks, cleaners, gardeners and everyone else in the great tapestry of work and activity that goes on to maintain such a beautiful environment.
Love and blessings to all!

My first visit to Vaidyagrama was 10 years ago when I came for Panchakarma. This is my fifth time here, so obviously I find it beneficial for my health and well-being. I always stay for 21 days and a few more, as my schedule permits. It's a special place. The therapists, doctors and staff are kind and caring. The benefits are lasting.
Over the years, there have been changes here. This time, I was happy to have a screened porch (especially because I like to sit outside). The food also seems tastier—although it is possible I just like it better than I used to! The trees have grown, the garden has expanded, and the fountains are wonderful!
I am very grateful for this place and for the people who have created it and who continue working to make it a wonderful, sacred place.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
Thank you for the care, love, attentiveness and devotion you put into all aspects of this incredible healing village. The staff, practitioners (Block 5), doctors, receptionists, etc., have been so genuine and loving with much presence and care. We will miss the morning prayers and pooja ceremonies and our daily chats with Dr Om. Thank you for sharing so much wisdom with us each day.
We have been here for 2 weeks and feel so much more established in an Ayurvedic way of life. Your deep connection with the natural world shines through all you do here. And witnessing the beloved black dog mamma give birth to 8 healthy puppies on our last day has been such a gift. To Rajama – silent swami – thank you for the depth and love of your being. You have been such a pivotal figure in our journey here. Thank you for your love and prayers. We will be back soon.
In love + thanks,

I am beyond grateful for the time, the treatments, the prayers, the care, but above all, the people here. I could feel the kindness and devotion of each person I came in touch with. I was taken care of in the best way. I feel physically lighter but also happier, and I am leaving with an open heart.
With love, I am taking so much knowledge that will help me maintain my physical and emotional health at home. Especially the Satsangs from Dr Vinod were amazing. And thanks to every other beautiful staff member here.

After three weeks, Vaidyagrama feels like home, making it bittersweet to leave. The time here was transformative—on a physical, mental and spiritual level. Thank you to the wonderful team of Illam 5 who guided me through Panchakarma. It was a wild ride, but I made it! Thank you for encouraging, caring for and supporting me. I could not have done it without you! You are the BEST. I will never forget my time here and will come back!
Much love and gratitude,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful journey together. This place that you created is more than just any Ayurvedic hospital. We were welcomed into the family, and we felt a part of it. Thank you to the people who took care of the fire, plants, washing, cleaning, preparing food, bringing food, and to all the people that we did and did not have a chance to meet. Yoga Nidra, Satsang ….
Thank you because my prayers were heard. I came with sadness from the loss of trust in humanity, and I'm going away to my home with a big, fulfilled heart and with trust in the power of intention, prayer and the human heart. I healed in many ways, and thank you for the good care and personal contact. We felt like we were really in a place where the Vidya of Ayurveda was taken care of and honoured. All the best and warm regards from

It feels like ages ago that I arrived at Vaidyagrama, not knowing what to expect but with an open mind & willingness to go with the flow. Four weeks later, I have learned a lot about myself, and that Ayurveda is full of surprises!!
The loving care that I received here will always be in my heart, and I know that my time here was a very important part of my healing journey. I am grateful for the expertise of all the doctors who cared for me, as well as their patience with my endless questions. My intention is to do my best to maintain all that I gained here.
I’m looking forward to coming back and will miss everyone here, especially everyone on Dr Ramanandan’s team.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is my 7th/8th? visit to Vaidyagrama, and I cannot express how much I enjoy & have enjoyed every time that I have come here. The medical care is the finest there is, but apart from that, the way the facility has grown over the years is due to the dedication of some of the finest doctors & their teams. Despite having expanded so much, the care, the compassion, the concern and the humility shown by every single member of staff is what makes me come back year after year.
The back-of-the-house personnel also have the same humility & dedication as the front-of-the-house. I always feel that I’m coming back to my family, and during my stay, I am completely at home. I cannot give enough credit to everyone involved in the running of this excellent Ayurveda hospital.
May it grow & grow and continue the healing for everyone who comes here. With much gratitude & love,

Dear Vaidyagrama team, I cannot believe that more than 4 weeks have already passed. 31 days full of healing, compassion, love and kindness, which I have learned and experienced with your help, care, and such profound wisdom and knowledge. I am so grateful that I found Vaidyagrama, or I feel that Vaidyagrama was sent to me from a Higher power. Thank you so much for your love, care and support. I came here with two main wishes, and these have come true. I will come back for deeper healing and prevention.
From the bottom of my heart, special thanks to the whole team—my therapists, Dr Harikumar, Dr Anupama, Dr Pavithra, and Dr Mojin.
Much love,

Vaidyagrama is a unique place of healing. I was feeling every minute, surrounded by a caring, loving energy coming from the team of doctors—Dr Vinod, Dr Vishagalakshmi—the place itself, the Nature, the birds, the sounds coming from the temples, the pooja, and the food. It’s a healing combination of factors that makes us grow in the consciousness of what is important—health and happiness.

We came here as a family of four, but now we feel we have several more in our family. Fantastic care, and words cannot describe the kindness shown to us, right from Dr Ramkumar, Dr Ramadas, Dr Mojin, Dr Anupama, and all the therapists. You guys are just amazing!
We are blessed to have come here and experienced this beautiful concept called Vaidyagrama, and we can't wait to come back again. Our most sincere and heartfelt gratitude to everyone here, from the buggy drivers to the reception folks, for this A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. experience.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
A BIG, FAT THANK YOU!
My coming here for the 6th (or 7th?) time is itself a compliment to you all. Nobody comes back so many times to places that are just medicine. You are my home away from home. I feel safe here, I trust you, your knowledge, and your good intentions towards your patients, and I appreciate your warmth. See you next time!
I'm going back to the U.K. healthier, rested, and ready to face all the challenges that life may throw at me :)
With lots of love,

I really didn't know what to expect when I signed up for my two weeks at VG. India can surprise you in many ways! But the two weeks have been enjoyable and beneficial. The staff, including the Medical Directors, are very friendly. If they maintain the current patient intake, they will continue having good patient-doctor interactions. However, if they expand and take in more patients, the current good practices may become challenging for the doctors and possibly the therapists. The "quality" is still there, and I hope the quantity at some point does not spoil the present practices.
Their eco-friendly and Dharmic approach to maintaining everything shows that they are truly "walking the talk." Keep it up! That said, I personally observed that the team supporting the Medical Director could provide better briefings, and vice versa. In the future, I hope they find a way to cool the rooms, as it gets quite unbearable at night in summer. My takeaway after listening to the talk by the doctors is to listen to your body, make certain lifestyle changes and diet adjustments, and you'll be fine. An annual detox, the way they do it here, will surely play a vital role in our lifelong healing journey. Thank you again to everyone at Cluster 4, Illam 11.
See you next year, God willing.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
My heartfelt gratitude to all of you for a soothing, healing, rejuvenating & blissful stay in your warmth-filled home! Vaidyagrama seems more than home to me as it rekindled in me the simple yet abundant beauty, warmth & comfort of my grandparents’ homes… You have blessed me with so much healing and nourishment of my body, mind & soul, bringing an inner sense of harmony/balance to my rather scattered life.
Vaidyagrama epitomizes the adage "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" in its genuine love, generosity, the spirit to share, heal, nourish & care, and in its total authenticity.
It is not just an Ayurvedic hospital but a complete healing centre, full of Sattva energy, peace, harmony, spirituality and healing that co-exist to make the best possible version of ourselves when we leave.
My personal, HUGE THANK YOU to all the esteemed Vaidyas/Doctors who have so generously shared their wisdom, time with patience & warmth & sagacity. Pranams to all of you. My equally huge thank you to my healing team: Dr Ramanandan. The wonderful Indu —Bless you for taking all my pains & problems away. Thank you to the sweetest young team of Karthika, Bala (with the sweetest singing voice), Adhira, Arunima & my first-day therapist, the gentle & experienced Kalpana. They all kept me going on a busy day, sharing smiles & laughter all day.
Truly, I have NEVER had such a unique & marvellous experience anywhere in the world. Thank you all for healing me & starting me on my journey. Blessings & prayers to all. As I leave, it is with a prayer to return to this blessed place real soon – in the good health you have bestowed on me!
The Shivaratri spent here will be such a very special & memorable one. The devotion, energy, and spiritual oneness were palpable and will stay with me all year.
Till next time – Namaskaram & my fondest wishes, love & respect to you all!

Thank you all – This is such a sacred place of healing, being supported on every level with love. Everyone on staff supported my journey with love—from Maheshwari, who brings flowers for my idol, to all the wonderful, beautiful women doing treatments (which were relaxing and rejuvenating every time and which I looked forward to each time). To every single doctor, I appreciate your patience with my questions and adjustments to the food! Dr Vinod, with his flexibility and kind nature, motivated me to continue this path. The peace and love here go straight to the soul. I am so grateful and feel so lucky. I will take this with me.

I am very grateful for this chance to have stayed at Vaidyagrama. Over the past couple of weeks, this place has become a new home, thanks to the wonderful people who make Vaidyagrama all that it is. Thank you all for everything you have done to help me heal.
Unnimaya I admire your strong touch and firm voice. You are very confident in your words and actions. Arunima – I am grateful for your gentle touch and how you laugh with me at silly things. Kalpana Akka – Thank you for holding my hand and taking care of me through Vasti. You were so attentive to every detail and helped me understand everything. I hope we can meet again! Dr Ardent – Thank you for giving me more food so I didn’t go hungry. Vasantha ji and others – Thank you for cleaning my room every day with a smile and making me feel at home. Patti Amma – I loved sitting with you every day after morning prayer. I am very close with my Nani; you became like my Nani. Dr Omprakash – Thank you for greeting me when I arrived and for always smiling when we walked past. Dr Ramadas – I very much enjoyed your spiritual talks and morning/evening prayers. Thank you for teaching me so much. Aparna ji – Thank you for facilitating my stay here and being so kind to me. Siva ji – Thank you for teaching me pranayama, for answering my many questions, and redefining meditation for me. Dr Ramanandan – Thank you for treating me these last couple of weeks. I very much enjoyed the treatments, and even more so, I enjoyed learning about them, thanks to you. You patiently answered my every question and taught me so much about the doshas.
Thank you for everything! I feel much better than when I arrived. I will come back after medical school, in 4-5 years. Surely, then you will be using the same pen! Thank you all for everything you have done for me, for welcoming me here, and helping me to heal and learn. Wishing you all the best!

Oh Vaidyagrama, what can I say?

That which is hurting, heals.
That which requires attention, is loved.

Thank you for being you.
Don't change it.

The team of therapists – Libin, Ratheesh and Binil – were so professional and kind, with wonderful smiles during my third Panchakarma at VG. Dr Hima, Dr Arun and Dr Vishagalakshmi were very organized, making it all happen seamlessly. The therapists always welcomed us with warm smiles.
Thanks to Dr Ramadas for his great insight, leading us in so many aspects of wellness and life experience. Namaste.
So now, with a spring in my step, I continue my journey with joy and carry the privilege of again saying thanks to all.

To the Shiva and shakti in Vaidyagrama. My 4th visit since 2022, and I remain amazed and grateful for this Divine sense of healing and love. I have learned so much from everyone – those named and unnamed souls who transit and reset my life. All the doctors, the ones who attended to me directly – Dr Ramadas, Dr Ramanandan, Dr Harikrishnan, Dr Om Prakash, Dr Vinod, Dr Anupama, Dr Vishagalakshmi, and Dr Hima – Everyone was so talented and attentive. Special mention to Dr Hima, Dr Vishagalakshmi and Dr Prateek for their hard work on my skin tag. Too many to name, including those from the community – a community I love. I have the Sankalp to be back every year from January to September for the sweetness of Vaidyagrama.

This is the first time I am here in Vaidyagrama. After spending just 2 days, I decided to visit this place every year – that’s how much I liked it. The service and the food are so authentic and very professional. Very calm nature, loving and caring people. Everyone receives us with a cute smile on their face. There is no complaint – everything is so good. The service of this community should continue forever.
Wishing everyone in this family a wonderful life and success.

My first visit to Vaidyagrama has been an unexpected journey. I reserved my stay for 10 days following our yoga program at Isha Yoga Centre. My intent was to give time and attention to a condition that came on suddenly 2 years ago and left me with some residual facial paralysis. On my taxi ride to Vaidyagrama, I had fallen sick with a temparature that lasted most of the 4 days after my arrival. Mere respiratory symptoms also caused distress. Vaidyagrama describes itself as a home for healthy and happy living. The hospital is designed to make people feel at home. Vaidyagrama succeeded at this goal beyond my expectation (if I had any at that point). My stay has now lasted 15 days, and I feel much improved from my arrival status. I was completely consumed by my illness for the first week. I became very weak and lethargic. Treatment started after my fever broke. The treatments are generally soothing. Every evening, my doctor would pay me a visit to ask how the treatment had gone for me that day and what treatment plan changes there might be for the following day. Even at my lowest point, the doctor came to understand that I was having a hard time grasping what was going on. I felt comfortable enough to let go and just be – eating what I could, but without judgment or pressure to be or do something I didn't feel ready for. The general approach of the doctors – explaining what they were observing and why my body was behaving the way it was (fever on and off, up and down) – made me feel more compassionate toward myself. Being sick for days and days can lead to a feeling of helplessness or frustration. The daily conversations with my doctors helped me feel like I could support myself better. I truly felt that I was among family. I felt that all my caregivers – from the therapists to the room cleaners, those who brought me kashayam, steam, and my meals – all these many people asked me how I was feeling today. This may have been all the English they could manage, but it served to make me feel cared for and included. Now that I am feeling well enough to travel, I am leaving a little of the other offerings at Vaidyagrama and have a desire to return in the future to experience some of the Satsang and cooking classes. I love the mission and goals of Vaidyagrama – to offer a place of community, wellness, and wholeness, honouring the earth and the natural environment. In my heart of hearts, there can be no other way. The attention and commitment to supporting the local community, as well as providing a place of healing and family for those visiting from all over the world, inspires me. I am most grateful that my unexpected illness stripped me of any ideas or expectations I may have brought with me and instead allowed me to fall into the healing arms of Vaidyagrama. Thank you to those who persevered to bring Vaidyagrama into being. It is a healing model whose time and place couldn't be more necessary and important.
With lots of love and gratitude,

This was my second time at Vaidyagrama, so I thought I knew what to expect, but I was quite wrong. While many aspects were the same, such as all your lovely and caring staff and the wisdom shared, I felt as though I had a completely different experience. With more to heal, I had a more intense journey to go on. And although it was harder, I am now even more grateful for you all. Thanks to the beautiful team in Illam 10. You are wonderful. Forever grateful for the environment you have created. Thank you.

It is so pure, and the vibration is very high. It is an amazing and beautiful centre—deeply healing and spiritual. My experience here was wonderful. I was cared for with so much love and skill. I have had a very deep healing. The problems I came here with have all either disappeared or improved by 90%, including my anxiety. Now my mind is calm and centred in the present moment and in love. I benefited a lot from the talks, Satsangs and spiritual routine.
I bow to all of you and wish you happiness, love and blessings.

Dear Team of VD 2
Thank you so much for supporting my transformative journey here at Vaidyagrama. It has truly been a ride, and I am grateful for being here. What a cleanse on the body, mind, emotional and spiritual level! It has been beyond my expectations. Now I can really say that I know and FEEL Ayurveda at its essence.
Shout out to Dr Ardent & the beautiful therapists for holding the space so gently and kindly during my Vamana. I will never forget this! And thanks to Dr Ramanandan for challenging me in a good way!
The essence of what I am taking from this time here is that everything in Nature grows organically. You cannot push a flower to bloom. We know ourselves to be made from this earth. We know this earth is made from our bodies. For we see ourselves. We are a concept of Nature. Nature speaking to NATURE ~ Susan Griffin, from the book "Fruitful Darkness" by Joan Halifax.
I will keep in touch and will be back soon! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Our experience has been a mixed bag—some positive and a bit negative. This is my first Panchakarma retreat, and I came with high hopes. Although some improvement has occurred, my high hopes were not met. To be fair, my issue is a longstanding one and will require many more months of diet and behaviour modifications to achieve my goals.
The facilities in your village are quite enchanting. Having the forest all around is healing and delightful, although the mosquitoes are not. I would suggest ultraviolet mosquito traps in the treatment room, as I inevitably came out of treatment with several new bites. No fun! The staff and the Ayurveda therapists were wonderful. We felt nurtured and cared for by them. I felt a close bond develop with my main therapist. I hope to stay connected. We felt challenged by our main doctor and his intense bedside manner. The main challenge, however, was the strange relationship you have with time. You’re constantly late and constantly changing the schedule—sometimes communicating well, then not keeping your promises and suggestions. Be careful and thoughtful about what you say and keep your word. It was also very difficult to get moments of peace. Every few minutes, somebody came to the door or entered the room. It was nearly impossible to get undisturbed time to meditate and rest. The highlight for me was the warm and delightful relationship I developed with some of the staff and patients from all over the world. As for the effectiveness of my treatment, the jury is still out. Although some changes are obvious, others may take more time, and I look forward to them occurring over the next couple of months. Thank you for one of the most fascinating experiences of my lifetime.

It started with my wife telling me about Ayurveda and what happened to her afterwards.
At first I wasn't entirely convinced, but I am open to many things. I arrived here with pain and various issues that were weighing on me. I was able to share this beautiful, quiet place with these great people during my two weeks. I enjoyed all the treatments. Everyone here is so accommodating, nice, and smiles at you. I am pain-free—almost magically. I love it here.

Vaidyagrama is truly a magical place—so vibrant, so connected to Nature, and with so much healing energy. I was looking for a place where Ayurveda is authentically practised, where you can feel the rooted wisdom and witness its effect on body, mind and soul. Now I feel so lucky and deeply grateful that I chose Vaidyagrama for my first Panchakarma experience. Can’t imagine a better place.
From my heart, thank you to everyone who took care of me during the process. From the first moment, I felt safe and held with so much kindness and compassion. Everything feels aligned here—the surroundings, the buildings, the nourishing food, the prayers, the lectures, the poojas, just to name a few.
And the doctors and therapists are amazing! Thank you, Dr Ardent, Dr Ramanandan, and Dr Aparna, for your time, knowledge, energy and informative answers. Thank you, my therapist Unnimaya, for your powerful touch, presence and liveliness.
Thank you, Kalpana, for your loving motherly energy and soothing touch.
Thank you, Vasanthamani ji, for bringing beautiful fresh flowers every day and for decorating our little altar with them. So much gratitude to all Vaidyagrama family members—my heart is full, and I can’t wait to come back!
Take care and see you!

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
This is my 3rd time with you since 2020. It is always a great pleasure to be here. It is definitely one of the best places to heal physically and of course, mentally too. Yes, all the practices and prayers are good, and the spiritual environment helps a lot, but beyond that, it’s knowing that everyone—from doctors to therapists and staff—every single person has the warmest heart with a gentle smile that tells you that you are cared for and loved. What more does one need! Thank you for the healing. We feel welcome, precious, heard, safe and taken care of.
Vaidyagrama now feels like a second home to me, and I can return any time. Looking forward to my next trip. Thank you so much. Much love!!!

This was my first Panchakarma experience. A month or two before coming from the US to travel here, I was already feeling something in my body—somehow related to the upcoming process. I came in without expectations, only with some specific issues to address.
The doctors are all so attentive, loving and have a great depth of knowledge. I felt like I was very well taken care of. The consultations were thorough, and I felt deeply listened to. The therapists all seem dedicated to their clients. I very much appreciated the prayers before beginning the treatments. My only piece of feedback is that there is some variation in the treatment procedures and skill levels of the therapists. I suggest more mentoring of the less experienced therapists by the more experienced ones. This would improve consistency, I feel.
Overall, my experience was very positive, and I did get what I came for: more consciousness of my body and mind and how they are connected, practical changes I can make to stay healthy, and a quieter nervous system.
Thank you all! I will be back.
Much love,

This is the 20th day. We leave today, and I feel lighter, more hopeful— & emptier in a good way. I'm ready to fill myself with a more loving, less judgmental way of being. I came with a few chronic issues and am leaving with them quieter. It takes up less space. The doctors were knowledgeable and listened well. I felt taken care of by them.
It's hard for me to find words right now.
Thank you, Vaidyagrama! Thank you to all who tend to this Vision. Thank you for what you are doing on the planet.

Namaskaram,
My wife and I enrolled in a 22-day program for basic health rejuvenation Panchakarma. We are very pleased with the treatment. We are extremely happy with Dr Rose, Dr Ardent and Dr Ramanandan. We are blessed to have met them and come to know them. I shall pen a few comments and suggestions by email. Everyone is friendly and committed. Some are more than friendly—dedicated and inventive, like the therapist Satish. I would like to see him as a trainer for other therapists. Except for the overcharged taxi facility for Madhuvanthi's x-ray visit, the rest of the experience was exceptional and yielded results.
Thank you, a BIG THANK YOU!!

Vaidyagrama felt like home to me. The doctors and staff are very simple and down-to-earth people. I came here a bit anxious about spending 21 days, but the time spent with the people here—attending cooking classes, Satsangs, and enjoying music in the evenings—made the 21 days go by in a breeze.
I also found good relief for my condition and am looking forward to returning here again. Special thanks to Dr Harikumar, Dr Anupama, Dr Pavitra and Dr Mojin for being co-operative and understanding.
Thank you,

Our first experience at Vaidyagrama was truly exceptional. My husband and I are incredibly happy with our time here, and our bodies feel deeply rejuvenated.
A heartfelt thank you to the dedicated team of doctors and therapists. Your care and expertise made all the difference. Special mention to Dr Dhanya, Dr Aruna, Dr Sajna, and therapist Prajisha, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Prajisha, in particular, was outstanding. Her warmth and attentiveness made our healing journey even more comforting. And from the housekeeping team, Mrs. Sumati was very helpful. The only issue we encountered was the presence of cockroaches in the bathroom daily. If this could be addressed, it would greatly enhance the overall experience.
That said, our stay was truly wonderful, and we can't wait to return. Vaidyagrama has become a second home for us.

Coming from the UK and only being exposed to the Western approach to healthcare has often left me feeling confused, powerless and disappointed. Despite all our new technology and innovations, Western medicine is but a small child with new toys compared to the ancient wisdom of the Vedas, where Ayurveda stems from. The science of common sense, from discovering the eternal Truth and fundamental principles that govern our universe and bodies, allows for an individualized approach to optimum health—restoring the ability to manage our own life and health.
If I could design a centre for open-minded patients to heal, learn and be loved, Vaidyagrama would be it. From treatments, accommodation, diet advice, prayer, classes, Satsangs, people, wildlife, healing and wisdom—Vaidyagrama has incorporated it all.
Our time with all the doctors has opened our minds and hearts. They are truly intent on bringing health and balance. Ideally, they never want to see their patients at the centre again. Therefore, they impart as much after-care help and guidance as possible to ensure you have all the tools to continue an ailment-free life.
I feel very blessed to have come across this oasis and will be forever grateful to our doctors, therapists, cooks, cleaners, gardeners and everyone else in the great tapestry of work and activity that goes on to maintain such a beautiful environment.
Love and blessings to all!

My first visit to Vaidyagrama was 10 years ago when I came for Panchakarma. This is my fifth time here, so obviously I find it beneficial for my health and well-being. I always stay for 21 days and a few more, as my schedule permits. It's a special place. The therapists, doctors and staff are kind and caring. The benefits are lasting.
Over the years, there have been changes here. This time, I was happy to have a screened porch (especially because I like to sit outside). The food also seems tastier—although it is possible I just like it better than I used to! The trees have grown, the garden has expanded, and the fountains are wonderful!
I am very grateful for this place and for the people who have created it and who continue working to make it a wonderful, sacred place.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
Thank you for the care, love, attentiveness and devotion you put into all aspects of this incredible healing village. The staff, practitioners (Block 5), doctors, receptionists, etc., have been so genuine and loving with much presence and care. We will miss the morning prayers and pooja ceremonies and our daily chats with Dr Om. Thank you for sharing so much wisdom with us each day.
We have been here for 2 weeks and feel so much more established in an Ayurvedic way of life. Your deep connection with the natural world shines through all you do here. And witnessing the beloved black dog mamma give birth to 8 healthy puppies on our last day has been such a gift. To Rajama – silent swami – thank you for the depth and love of your being. You have been such a pivotal figure in our journey here. Thank you for your love and prayers. We will be back soon.
In love + thanks,

Beautiful Vaidyagrama team,
I am beyond grateful for the time, the treatments, the prayers, the care, but above all, the people here. I could feel the kindness and devotion of each person I came in touch with. I was taken care of in the best way. I feel physically lighter but also happier, and I am leaving with an open heart.
With love, I am taking so much knowledge that will help me maintain my physical and emotional health at home. Especially the Satsangs from Dr Vinod were amazing. And thanks to every other beautiful staff member here.

After three weeks, Vaidyagrama feels like home, making it bittersweet to leave. The time here was transformative—on a physical, mental and spiritual level. Thank you to the wonderful team of Illam 5 who guided me through Panchakarma. It was a wild ride, but I made it! Thank you for encouraging, caring for and supporting me. I could not have done it without you! You are the BEST. I will never forget my time here and will come back!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful journey together. This place that you created is more than just any Ayurvedic hospital. We were welcomed into the family, and we felt a part of it. Thank you to the people who took care of the fire, plants, washing, cleaning, preparing food, bringing food, and to all the people that we did and did not have a chance to meet. Yoga Nidra, Satsang ….
Thank you because my prayers were heard. I came with sadness from the loss of trust in humanity, and I'm going away to my home with a big, fulfilled heart and with trust in the power of intention, prayer and the human heart. I healed in many ways, and thank you for the good care and personal contact. We felt like we were really in a place where the Vidya of Ayurveda was taken care of and honoured. All the best and warm regards from

It feels like ages ago that I arrived at Vaidyagrama, not knowing what to expect but with an open mind & willingness to go with the flow. Four weeks later, I have learned a lot about myself, and that Ayurveda is full of surprises!!
The loving care that I received here will always be in my heart, and I know that my time here was a very important part of my healing journey. I am grateful for the expertise of all the doctors who cared for me, as well as their patience with my endless questions. My intention is to do my best to maintain all that I gained here.
I’m looking forward to coming back and will miss everyone here, especially everyone on Dr Ramanandan’s team.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is my 7th/8th? visit to Vaidyagrama, and I cannot express how much I enjoy & have enjoyed every time that I have come here. The medical care is the finest there is, but apart from that, the way the facility has grown over the years is due to the dedication of some of the finest doctors & their teams. Despite having expanded so much, the care, the compassion, the concern and the humility shown by every single member of staff is what makes me come back year after year.
The back-of-the-house personnel also have the same humility & dedication as the front-of-the-house. I always feel that I’m coming back to my family, and during my stay, I am completely at home. I cannot give enough credit to everyone involved in the running of this excellent Ayurveda hospital.
May it grow & grow and continue the healing for everyone who comes here. With much gratitude & love,

Dear Vaidyagrama team, I cannot believe that more than 4 weeks have already passed. 31 days full of healing, compassion, love and kindness, which I have learned and experienced with your help, care, and such profound wisdom and knowledge. I am so grateful that I found Vaidyagrama, or I feel that Vaidyagrama was sent to me from a Higher power. Thank you so much for your love, care and support. I came here with two main wishes, and these have come true. I will come back for deeper healing and prevention.
From the bottom of my heart, special thanks to the whole team—my therapists, Dr Harikumar, Dr Anupama, Dr Pavithra, and Dr Mojin.
Much love,

Vaidyagrama is a unique place of healing. I was feeling every minute, surrounded by a caring, loving energy coming from the team of doctors—Dr Vinod, Dr Vishagalakshmi—the place itself, the Nature, the birds, the sounds coming from the temples, the pooja, and the food. It’s a healing combination of factors that makes us grow in the consciousness of what is important—health and happiness.

We are blessed to have come here and experienced this beautiful concept called Vaidyagrama, and we can't wait to come back again. Our most sincere and heartfelt gratitude to everyone here, from the buggy drivers to the reception folks, for this A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. experience.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
A BIG, FAT THANK YOU!
My coming here for the 6th (or 7th?) time is itself a compliment to you all. Nobody comes back so many times to places that are just medicine. You are my home away from home. I feel safe here, I trust you, your knowledge, and your good intentions towards your patients, and I appreciate your warmth. See you next time!
I'm going back to the U.K. healthier, rested, and ready to face all the challenges that life may throw at me :)
With lots of love,

I really didn't know what to expect when I signed up for my two weeks at VG. India can surprise you in many ways! But the two weeks have been enjoyable and beneficial. The staff, including the Medical Directors, are very friendly. If they maintain the current patient intake, they will continue having good patient-doctor interactions. However, if they expand and take in more patients, the current good practices may become challenging for the doctors and possibly the therapists. The "quality" is still there, and I hope the quantity at some point does not spoil the present practices.
Their eco-friendly and Dharmic approach to maintaining everything shows that they are truly "walking the talk." Keep it up! That said, I personally observed that the team supporting the Medical Director could provide better briefings, and vice versa. In the future, I hope they find a way to cool the rooms, as it gets quite unbearable at night in summer. My takeaway after listening to the talk by the doctors is to listen to your body, make certain lifestyle changes and diet adjustments, and you'll be fine. An annual detox, the way they do it here, will surely play a vital role in our lifelong healing journey. Thank you again to everyone at Cluster 4, Illam 11.
See you next year, God willing.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
My heartfelt gratitude to all of you for a soothing, healing, rejuvenating & blissful stay in your warmth-filled home! Vaidyagrama seems more than home to me as it rekindled in me the simple yet abundant beauty, warmth & comfort of my grandparents’ homes… You have blessed me with so much healing and nourishment of my body, mind & soul, bringing an inner sense of harmony/balance to my rather scattered life.
Vaidyagrama epitomizes the adage "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" in its genuine love, generosity, the spirit to share, heal, nourish & care, and in its total authenticity.
It is not just an Ayurvedic hospital but a complete healing centre, full of Sattva energy, peace, harmony, spirituality and healing that co-exist to make the best possible version of ourselves when we leave.
My personal, HUGE THANK YOU to all the esteemed Vaidyas/Doctors who have so generously shared their wisdom, time with patience & warmth & sagacity. Pranams to all of you. My equally huge thank you to my healing team: Dr Ramanandan. The wonderful Indu —Bless you for taking all my pains & problems away. Thank you to the sweetest young team of Karthika, Bala (with the sweetest singing voice), Adhira, Arunima & my first-day therapist, the gentle & experienced Kalpana. They all kept me going on a busy day, sharing smiles & laughter all day.
Truly, I have NEVER had such a unique & marvellous experience anywhere in the world. Thank you all for healing me & starting me on my journey. Blessings & prayers to all. As I leave, it is with a prayer to return to this blessed place real soon – in the good health you have bestowed on me!
The Shivaratri spent here will be such a very special & memorable one. The devotion, energy, and spiritual oneness were palpable and will stay with me all year.
Till next time – Namaskaram & my fondest wishes, love & respect to you all!

Thank you all – This is such a sacred place of healing, being supported on every level with love. Everyone on staff supported my journey with love—from Maheshwari, who brings flowers for my idol, to all the wonderful, beautiful women doing treatments (which were relaxing and rejuvenating every time and which I looked forward to each time). To every single doctor, I appreciate your patience with my questions and adjustments to the food! Dr Vinod, with his flexibility and kind nature, motivated me to continue this path. The peace and love here go straight to the soul. I am so grateful and feel so lucky. I will take this with me.

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my experience here. It was truly life-changing and enriching. Everyone was incredibly kind, professional and helpful, and I feel privileged to have had such a wonderful introduction to Panchakarma. I am deeply grateful for everything I have learned. Before coming here, I had only a basic understanding of Ayurveda, but this week brought it to life and significantly expanded my knowledge. The entire staff was kind, patient and always willing to assist.
I enjoyed all the food, and even when I initially disliked the taste of some dishes, I reminded myself that this is natural medicine and followed the guidelines. Over time, I grew to appreciate it. The beauty and sounds of Nature were truly healing for my eyes and ears. The prayer and puja ceremonies were conducted with such punctuality, sincerity and depth that they felt heart-opening and meaningful. Even though I did not understand the words, I felt spiritually and emotionally connected.
I also loved meeting patients from around the world and hearing their stories—many of whom were returning patients. That itself is proof of the hospital’s excellence and the professionalism of its doctors and staff. Overall, I cherished this experience, as well as my first trip to India. I hope to return for more learning, healing and personal growth.

No words can describe my gratitude for all the love and care I received from all the staff— the doctors, the therapists, and all the people who made this place a wonderful experience. Thank you, Dr Vinod (no words can express my gratitude to him). I give my great thanks to Dr Anagha and Dr Sisira for listening to all my rantings at night; my great love and appreciation. To Ranjini chechi, Sindhu chechi, Greeshma, Femila, Viji and all the therapists—please do remember me. I feel I will be forever grateful to all of you. Thanks, and may God bless all of you for this wonderful service. A special thanks to Dr Om and Dr Ramadas for all their support and kind words.

My heart is content with all the kindness, love and care we received from the doctors, therapists and staff. I hope to return one day soon. As an Ayurvedic Practitioner, it has been incredibly fulfilling to be here, experiencing Ayurveda alongside my retreat participants and clients. Thank you!

I truly loved my experience at Vaidyagrama! I learned so much about Ayurveda and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. My treatments were amazing—I felt deeply relaxed, and whenever I needed anything, it was provided with care. When I arrived, I was tired, inflamed, and experiencing joint pain. After a week, all my joints felt better except for my fingers, and now I wish I could have stayed longer for further healing. The rooms were very comfortable, and the bed nets kept the bugs out effectively. I am deeply grateful to everyone at Vaidyagrama for supporting my healing journey and taking such good care of me. I felt truly loved.

From the moment I was greeted at the front desk to the heartfelt goodbyes, I felt the love, care, kindness and dedication that make this place so special. It was incredibly inspiring to experience a different way of being—my stressful life felt miles away here. My favourite part, without a doubt, was the oil massages, which helped heal my whiplash. The doctors’ insights were strikingly accurate, almost disarming in their precision. I loved the rain, the chanting, the learning, and the spiritual depth of the question-and-answer sessions. The level of care and attention I received was truly remarkable. As a mother who lost my own mother long ago, it was deeply moving to be nourished and tenderly cared for in this way. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!

Respected Dr Ramanandan, Dr Ardent, Therapists Kalpana and Unnimaya, and everyone else. This is my third visit to Vaidyagrama, and each visit has been excellent, memorable, deeply satisfying, and healing! This is truly a unique jewel of an Ayurvedic centre—I can not imagine a better place. The conception and Vision behind it feel like an expression of Divine Will. The excellent Vaidyas and their teams, the therapists, the cleaning crew, the food, the delivery—everything from A to Z—are imbued with a compassionate spirit. Every person on this campus is kind, humble and natural! The spiritual vibrance created by the morning and evening chanting helps generate this powerful healing energy. And the afternoon sessions with the doctors contribute significantly to the understanding we gain. Heartfelt blessings to all involved in this sublime venture. My deepest gratitude, always.

The attention to detail and constant emphasis on maintaining a tranquil healing environment is inspiring. The changes I have noticed in my sense of health and well-being in only three weeks of my stay are remarkable. I have great respect for all the staff and for the incredible wisdom of Ayurveda. I have already ordered several books and plan to begin studying Ayurveda formally when I return home. Thank you to all the amazing physicians and staff for creating a wonderful place of healing.

It was serendipity that landed me at Vaidyagrama, and for that, I’m forever grateful. VG was highly recommended as the place to get great Ayurvedic care and Panchakarma treatments—CORRECT! Everything was taken care of, and I didn’t have to worry—I could just relax, trust, and submit to care and healing in a positive, loving, respectful environment. The doctors, therapists, housekeepers, and all the staff were so kind, happy, joyful, friendly, gentle, stress-free, skilled, professional, and caring.
I’m grateful for daily doctor check-ins and chats, and usually, 2 doctors check in both morning and afternoon. My main doctor was male—Dr Om—and then 2 women doctors—Dr Anagha and Dr Sisira—and Dr Vinod, the man with the long black beard stepped in once “doing the rounds.” They were all wonderful, professional, and supportive, and I fully trusted the process. Even with language barriers, respect and unconditional love were emotions easily transmitted—hand on heart! Admittedly, sadly, I only speak English, so I had to learn to listen deeply and alternatively to understand the accents. For sure, English was the language used for teaching/Satsangs at the Mandapam. Many of us patients talked about how difficult it was to get the gist of sentences, especially from the teacher doctors who spoke quietly or too rapidly. A microphone and speaker system would help a LOT! All the doctors had great command of English, but most other staff had basic English, which limited communication. But it all worked out, and I’m humbled to be treated so patiently and kindly—Namaste!
I love the culture here of bare feet and cross-legged sitting. You don’t see that much in the USA. In fact, in most stores and public buildings, it’s ‘No shirts, no shoes, no service’—CRAZY! At age 70, my goal was mostly to address the numbness starting in my big toes on each foot and to reset my body, mind, and spirit—for the rest of my life. In my 20 days here, I was diagnosed and had 6 PK treatments. I feel like I am on a solid path to continue following back home in the USA, along with my big box of medicinal teas, herbs, and oils. Thank you, thank you, thank you! May we all be filled with loving-kindness, be at peace and at ease, be happy, and be well. Peace, Love, and All the Good Stuff!
P.S. I wish the best for VG as the Vision keeps growing, and I hope to return to see the changes and the flower I planted!

You are all wonderful people. Namaste – Nandri – Nanni to everyone at Vaidyagrama. Your smiles, your care... you are all truly beautiful. Thank you, Bala, for your messages just before you left. I feel relaxed, and my energy is growing. When I’m back home in France, I’ll think of you and this marvellous place. I hope to come back soon.

Vaidyagrama has been one of the best experiences of my life. This place has a beautiful ambience as well as great staff who are very respectful and conscious of patients' needs and well-being. I am greatly honoured to have met wonderful physicians like Dr Ramadas; Dr Mojin is unlimited. They go above and beyond to help heal their patients to their utmost capacity. I feel greatly healed, not only physically but mentally and spiritually. This place is no less than heaven on earth. I am deeply grateful for all the care I received from each of the staff. Hoping to be back again shortly.
Loads of regards and rest,

I have spent 37 days at Vaidyagrama. I arrived in a very bad state, severely depressed and hopeless after trying all treatments available in the US—talk therapy, meds, inpatient care, ketamine etc. I truly believe these 37 days have saved my life. From the very first week, I felt a calm presence here. All the therapists made me feel so much at ease for every treatment. I’m truly grateful for them and admire their work ethic and compassion. Dr Ramadas helped me realize how important spirituality is in my life and how I can use it, and practice it to become a better version of myself. Within my second week, I felt so much calmer and present—grateful for being alive. It didn’t matter which doctor checked on me every day. Each one made me feel completely at ease, trusting the process and healing. I am so grateful to the entire team—doctors, therapists, cooks, and everyone else behind the scenes who made it so that I didn’t have to follow up on anything and just had everything taken care of for me. This freed up a lot of time for journaling, contemplating, slow walks etc. That accelerated my healing process. I now feel confident to return home and carry with me the love and warmth of Vaidyagrama. I will be back soon.

DEAR VAIDYAGRAMA! It's with deep gratitude and reverence that I am leaving this place, which has taken such good care of me and held a beautiful space for a challenging process and a loving release. I am so so IMPRESSED by the depth, professionalism, and thorough expertise that everyone working here holds and emits. This place is really breathing and living Ayurveda, a system that I am forever grateful for and amazed by. I wish I could stay longer and hope to be back for a full PK next time. Thank you from my heart for all your patience, wise words and utmost care. Inspired and with more trust and hope, I leave here — happy to make the choice to live free and happy as my true self. Namaste and greetings from my heart. PS: I shall miss the morning and evening prayers deeply, but will take them with me home.

This was my first time in India and my first trip alone without my husband—a truly life-changing experience. I have felt such deep nurturing and care from so many like-hearted souls, something I did not receive as a child or for most of my adult years. As someone who has been a nurturer and caretaker for as long as I can remember, being on the receiving end of such love and support was profoundly moving and something I clearly needed. At 44, I now truly understand how to nourish and nurture my body, mind and spirit. These past two weeks have allowed me to slow down, reflect and deepen my relationship with myself. I have also witnessed the compassion and dedication that every soul here brings to the patients. Vaidyagrama is one of the most authentic healing organizations I have ever seen. The mission of this foundation embodies what all healing centres should aspire to be. I will always hold deep love and gratitude for everyone here. My husband and I plan to return every other year.
With love,

My sincere appreciation for all your fine work. This is truly a labour of love—every person involved has demonstrated a high degree of dedication. From the esteemed doctors to the therapists and all the support staff—you have all been nothing short of wonderful. Even with so many patients, I am amazed at how organized you are and how you still manage to provide such a high level of personalized care. It is also commendable how much humility everyone displays in their work.
Vaidyas, your professionalism is truly admirable. A special thank you to Dr Vinod, Dr Ardent, and Dr Vineesh—your commitment to ensuring your patients improve is evident and deeply appreciated. Another heartfelt thank you to the very nurturing therapists—Kalpana, you are excellent at what you do. It has also been lovely to be cared for by two little angels: Arunima and Unnimaya. It is refreshing to be in a place where the staff is genuinely happy and intentionally focused on healing. That makes all the difference. Your warmth, willingness to please, and yet firmness in following the treatment protocol build trust, and I am confident you will continue to help many more people. Please keep smiling and creating this powerful atmosphere of healing.
This has been a truly unique experience, and I hope to return in the future. My best wishes to all of you—I will miss this place dearly. Special thanks to Basanti for keeping our room clean—and doing it so joyfully. Thank you, Dr Rose, for showing me how to make pleats—you are awesome! And Dr Ardent, best wishes to the new baby!

I personally do not know where to begin, as this journey of healing for my daughter and myself has been a karmic blessing—a Divine grace of Devi and Shiva looking upon us, granting us insight and helping us navigate our path into this heavenly abode of healing—emotionally, physically and spiritually. My family will be forever grateful to the lovely, ever-smiling Vaidyagrama family, always ready to help and guide us. Dr Ramanandan has been a guiding force—so positive and encouraging, with a warmth of knowledge. There is so much to learn from him. His humility and approachable nature always made us feel so comfortable.
Dr Ardent, you were amazing—assertive yet kind, and always there to support us through the rigorous phases of our journey. We missed you these past two days. Having you around gave us the assurance that we were on the right path. Wishing you happiness and blessings on your journey into fatherhood! Dr Aparna and Dr Rose—always smiling, yet so attentive and dedicated to ensuring we followed all instructions and were taken care of throughout our stay. Dr Aparna, wishing you joy and blessings in your motherhood. Dr Vineesh, thank you as well for your politeness and reassuring presence. We wish you all the best on your journey—may you become another one of Vaidyagrama’s amazing physicians. Kalpana Akka, we missed you dearly. Unnimaya, you are a rock star! Wishing you great success—may Shiva give you strength to flourish with your gift and talent. Thank you for all your help. Your care during our last couple of days, especially your refreshing facials, was deeply appreciated. Thank you all for making our journey so wonderful. We will surely return, hoping to meet you all again in the future. With gratitude,

I don't think there are enough words to explain how thankful and appreciative I am towards all of you. You have all been a part of my healing journey, and I am forever grateful. This journey of healing and getting better was something I knew would be a challenge. Although I can be shy and take time to open up, you have all been so patient, kind, understanding and supportive. I couldn’t have asked to be placed with a better group of people. You are all so devoted and passionate about helping others—it truly shows. I feel so much better now, and along with my healing, I was lucky not only to have an amazing team but also to share this experience with my mom.
Dr Ramanandan, you are truly one of a kind. Thank you for your guidance, support and encouragement. You have really helped me understand more about my health, Ayurveda, and the changes I need to make. Dr Rose and Dr Vineesh, thank you for everything and for your continued support. Dr Aparna, thank you for your care and support. I wish you all the best in this new chapter of your life—you’re going to be an amazing mom. Dr Ardent, I can't thank you enough.
Thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone and encouraging me to attend the satsangs and events. Thank you for being patient, and supportive, and for explaining everything so clearly throughout the treatment process. Although I said I would go to yoga, I never did—sorry! But I will be back again... only on the condition of no more treatment (but that's negotiable). Congratulations to you and your family on the newest addition! Kalpana, Beena, Unnimaya and Arunima—you are the gems of Vaidyagrama. Seeing your smiling faces every day and feeling your positive energy were among the best parts of my stay and my healing journey. You are all so skilled and talented—thank you truly for making me feel better.
Thank you so, so much. I’m really going to miss all of you. I can’t wait to come back and hope to see you soon.

Beloved Healers, My heart is completely touched and broken open by this ancient healing art. It is the great blessing of my life to have received 3 weeks of transformative care, wisdom and loving-kindness. My 57-year-old body is renewed, and all of my body, mind and spirit are deeply nourished. Thank you for letting me fall apart and letting go of so much stored-up pain and worry. At one point on the treatment table, I felt like a newborn baby, cared for by the Divine mother—naked, new, innocent, so loved. Surely this place is one of the most exceptional spaces on Mother Earth. Such Vision, such remembrance. I have loved praying all day. Enjoyed the warmth of the housekeeping staff and reception back-office helpers, received deep wisdom from all of my doctors, and laughed with Dr Om Prakash. The treatment therapists are my heroes. My tears of gratitude fall on this page.
Deepest gratitude, love, and peace,

To the Vaidyagrama Team—each and every one of you whom I’ve had the honour and pleasure to meet— I would like to say an enormous thank you. I believe that a lot of the positive energy in this place comes from the marvellous people working together in such a beautiful environment. Though my stay has been shorter than I originally planned, it has been long enough for me to realize that I will surely return for a longer period. I have come to understand the subtle unblocking—without force—that gradually takes hold of you.
All of the doctors and the entire team amazed me with their gentle yet precise way of explaining the treatments, along with their pros and cons. One can sense the goodness not only in the people but also radiating in the atmosphere all around. The doors here are open to everyone, and blessings truly flow from that openness.
Keep up the wonderful work—every single member of the Vaidyagrama family. I hope to bring my mother here one day. Also, an extremely grateful acknowledgement to all the kitchen crew, who—with such passion—nurture everyone on this campus.
With best and warm regards,

Thank you, Vaidyagrama team. You do an amazing job bringing your guests authentic, caring and healing treatments. I really enjoyed this experience and feel empowered to start my own healing journey. Hopefully, I won’t need to come back, but if I do mischievous things, it’ll be a pleasure and joy to visit again.
Aneesh and Satheesh were amazing therapists who put intention and consciousness into their work! They really deserve a special shout-out! Dr Anagha was amazing and had incredible attention to detail.
And Dr Ramdas is incredible—he would get a 5-star rating from me, but I’m deducting 0.5-star points because he thinks 6 beers at boys’ night is excessive and violent to my body. Jokes aside, this has been beautiful, and insightful, and will help me live a healthier and fuller life. Btw, thank you and much love!

This is not my first time here—and certainly not my last. I came to Vaidyagrama to detox from all the anti-cancer drugs I’ve been taking. I have already introduced several friends to this healing space, and I feel truly healed, rejuvenated and pain-free. My insides feel clean. I would like to thank Dr Ramkumar and Dr Ramadas for being here from the very beginning. I am especially lucky to have Semina as my therapist—she has taken such good care of my fragile body, along with the other wonderful therapists. Dr Ramanandan, thank you. A very special thank you to Dr Ramadas—so wise, so philosophical, and an absolutely fantastic doctor. Thank you to all the doctors who supported me through a difficult time. I will definitely be back again. Dr Aparna is excellent—my best wishes to her and to all of you.

This is my second visit, and I can truly say I was not disappointed. There are so many people to thank for making this such a healing place. The entire atmosphere is therapeutic—the peaceful environment, the sound of birds and peacocks—everything contributes to the serenity and calm. Dear Dr Ramanandan, thank you for your wonderful care and for listening to me so patiently. You listened to all my concerns with such understanding. You are truly a blessing! Thank you also to Dr Ardent, Dr Rose, Dr Vinod and Dr Haneena. You are all very kind and patient. A big thanks to Beena, Arunima, Unnimaya and Kalpana—you all do wonderful work, and it’s such a pleasure to see your smiling faces each day. Thanks also to all the staff who diligently keep the place clean and tidy. If God will, I hope to come again.

What a wonderful healing experience I had at Vaidyagrama—far beyond anything I could have imagined elsewhere. Such care, such loving attitudes in every smile, and such precision in the treatments I received made me feel truly well cared for. I feel immense gratitude for the medical team—Dr Vinod, Dr Rose, Dr Aparna—and the therapists Karthika, Bala, Indu, and Beena, all took such good care of me. A special thank you to Dr Vinod for sharing so much valuable information with me—it was fascinating to understand the treatments I received. I feel so nourished, with all my senses awakened. I thoroughly enjoyed being in this beautiful and peaceful environment, which is so thoughtfully designed, well-maintained, and grounded in a holistic approach. What a Vision brought to life—an epitome of healing, sustainability and community. I have deep admiration for the project of setting up this healing village, for its eco-friendly philosophy, and for its social engagement with the surrounding community. It is such an inspiring way of living together, and I am sure it will continue evolving beautifully on its path.

Thank you, everyone at Vaidyagrama. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful 8-day experience I had at Vaidyagrama. From the moment I arrived, I was truly impressed by the professional and kind doctors, the kind and attentive therapists, and the warm welcoming staff. Each person contributed to making my stay incredibly comfortable and memorable.
The food was absolutely delicious—healthy Sattva food, nourishing in every way. I looked forward to each meal. The serene, Nature-filled surroundings of the village also made the experience so much more special.
It was the perfect environment for relaxation and rejuvenation, and I will carry the peaceful energy with me. Thank you once again for providing such a wonderful experience! I look forward to visiting again in the future!!

This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama, and once again, the team of doctors and therapists has been amazing. They do a wonderful job caring for each patient, which is one of the reasons I chose to return this year. I have been undergoing treatment under the care of Dr Harikrishnan and have seen tremendous improvement. The only feedback I would like to share is regarding the food. I’m not expecting gourmet meals, just simple, palatable food. There were days when I found the kashayam tastier than the meals served. I sincerely hope some improvements can be made to the food and menu. I look forward to returning for another round of treatment. Until then, goodbye and thank you for being a part of my healing journey.

This is my 15th or 16th visit here. I first came in 2019 and stayed in Dr Ramadas’ house—I believe I was the very first patient here. What an amazing vision and dream Dr Ramkumar had, and the determination to see it come true! Vaidyagrama truly gives you the feeling of being with nature and loved ones. The doctors here are not only physicians but also friends and mentors. Dr Ramadas, my wonderful primary doctor, is just amazing. Thank you also to Dr Om Prakash, Dr Ramanandan, and Dr Harikumar—all of you have been incredibly supportive and available at all times. The therapists—Semina, Indu, Devaki, Bindu, and helpers Aneeta and Athira—are absolute jewels. Their healing hands, warm smiles, and exceptional care make this place feel like heaven. Even the IT staff, the back-office team, and the ever-willing Krishna-ji add to the efficiency and charm of Vaidyagrama. Not forgetting the cleaning and laundry staff, who do an excellent job—truly wonderful. For me, Vaidyagrama feels like home, and I love coming here and being spoiled by all these wonderful people. Wishing you all good luck, peace, and happiness. Thank you.

First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the entire Vaidyagrama team. My two weeks of stay were absolutely wonderful and an authentic Ayurveda experience. The treatments and overall care have been the best I have ever received. All my questions were patiently answered by Dr Vinod and Dr Vishagalakshmi. Both are extremely knowledgeable and explain every treatment in great detail. The therapists were amazing, taking so much care (especially Shyni, who was delightful, discreet, and very professional). The massages were rejuvenating and healing, and Nature, with lots of birds and trees, helped tremendously with the healing process. Leaving this cosy place makes me feel a little sad, but I am feeling lighter, energized, and ready to implement some of the Ayurveda wisdom I learned into my daily life.

I arrived at Vaidyagrama feeling overwhelmed by stress and fatigue from work and life in a big city. The environment and the deep intentionality behind the entire Vaidyagrama campus and its practices are truly astounding. From the moment you arrive, you feel that you are in a place of genuine authenticity. The level of care and attention provided by the therapists, staff, and doctors is a rare luxury—especially compared to the brief 10-minute doctor visits in the U.S. I will deeply miss the serenity and peacefulness of this place. Vaidyagrama is truly unique—a perfect place to learn the meaning of rest and to find the space and time for reflection.

This is my second visit to VG. I came in 2020 for a few days when my wife was the patient. When I discovered that a health issue came up, we first thought of Dr Ramanandan and VG. His expertise and reassurance on the phone made me pack my bags and arrive at VG. I realized it was time to invest 3 weeks in my well-being. I stayed at C5 (505) and loved it—spacious rooms, nice walking paths, common dining area. I liked sharing space with others on the same journey. After that, it was a breeze. The caring and nurturing nature of all the doctors—Dr Ramanandan, Dr Anagha, and Dr Renjisha—were truly amazing. They explained the process in a very reassuring way and gently held your hand throughout the whole time. You never feel like you're alone in this. What also blew my mind was the attitude, dedication, and commitment of the support staff, therapists, dining room staff, the girls who replaced water, and everyone else. The campus has grown, but the nurturing and caring ethos continues. I will be forever thankful to all the doctors, the VG family, and my therapists, Sathish, and Girish, who were truly outstanding in their involvement, devotion, and focus on healing. I feel blessed that I could come to VG and start my healing journey. Hoping to come back more regularly, even if I don’t have any health/well-being issues. My gratitude to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Anagha, Dr Renjisha, Sathish and Girish. Had a chance to speak to Krishnakumar, the Operations Head. Big compliments to him for running a tight ship and making things work like clockwork. Forgot to mention the caring treatment of Dr Sisira—ever grateful.

First of all, thank you, Vaidyagrama. I am very happy to have been here. I don’t even know how to fully express what this place means to me—whatever I say may not be enough. Vaidyagrama is not just a treatment centre. While they say it’s a place for healing and a healthier life, I would say Vaidyagrama brings a complete change to one's life. Along with the treatments, we learn how to change our way of living—for the better. I feel truly blessed to have come here. Now, I would like to thank all the guiding and supportive forces at Vaidyagrama who made my 14-day stay so meaningful. First, thank you to Buggy Anna. From morning prayers to evening treatments, he helped us travel to and from Vaidyagrama with such care.
Thank you to the reception team for assisting me with my limited English and for understanding our needs so patiently and promptly. Before arriving, I was confused and unsure—how would we manage, how would we communicate? However, I soon realized that language is never a barrier when it comes to the kindness and values of the people here.
A big thank you to Dr Vinod and Dr Aparna—both are incredibly kind, understanding, and supportive. Thank you to my therapist, who was so gentle, helpful, and caring—just like a mother. And lastly, one of my favourite parts: the cow pooja and the group lunches—such a beautiful, soulful experience. Thank you, Vaidyagrama family, for everything.
With love,

To the Vaidyagrama Team, I recently had the pleasure of visiting Vaidyagrama, and I must say the experience was outstanding. From the moment I walked in until the moment I stepped out, I felt completely at home. The atmosphere, the temple, the pooja, the common lunch, and the classes all made me feel deeply connected to the place. The doctors and staff are incredibly friendly and approachable. I truly believe that one must experience Vaidyagrama for true inner self-realization. Their exceptional service and dedicated team have earned my trust. Thank you all. Warm regards,

Thank you all for the wonderful experience Vaidyagrama has given us. This was our first visit, and we thoroughly enjoyed the 21 days we spent here. We truly felt as if it was our home and not a hospital. The environment is amazing, and the long walks I had here were great. The patients were very friendly and loving, and the time spent here was enriching on all levels—physically, mentally, and spiritually. I enjoyed the prayers, the community lunches, and many of the activities. My heartfelt thanks go to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Ardent, Dr Vinod, Dr Rose, Dr Haneena and Dr Aparna. We received personal and special care. I would also like to thank Kalpana, Arunima, Unni Maya, Beena, Santosh, Lalu, Mithun, and many other therapists. They are all hardworking and a pleasure to be with. I truly felt that the doctors and therapists were not just caregivers, but friends. Their dedication to the institute is greatly appreciated. I hope I will be able to come back more often. Thank you all. Warm regards,

“ENGAGED IN THE WELFARE OF ALL”. The world needs healing. The world needs peace and harmony. The ethical and moral code of conduct is the very foundation of healing, yoga, Vedanta and Ayurveda. The Vaidyagrama community has been not only providing this mass healing and peace (individual and world) but also practising these ethical and moral standards of heavenly living or wise living. Swami Vivekananda highlighted 3 mantras apart from the far Veda mantra (Mathru Devo Bhava, Pitru Devo Bhava, Acharya Devo Bhava, Adithi devo Bhava) with the new mantras: Rogi devo Bhava (admire the diseased as God), Daridra devo Bhava (see and admire the poor as God), The founder and doctor of Vaidyagrama, Dr Ramkumar has been carrying out this message of Dharma through Ayurveda and spreading it all over the world. Those who are a little introverted and calm will understand the value of this atmosphere here with nature, tranquillity and calmness. I have been visiting Vaidyagrama almost every year and am a witness to its service activities at both national and international levels. I sincerely pray to God Almighty to bless all directors/brand members/doctors/administrators with excellent health, peace, and spiritual illumination. An “Ayurvedic University” in South India (Tamil Nadu/Kerala) is one of my great visions for India, and I hope Dr Ramkumar will nationalize the “Ayurveda University” soon.

A heartfelt thank you to Vaidyagrama for their dedication and exceptional service to the Vaidyagrama treatment. Vaidyagrama is truly a wonderful place, highly recommended for Ayurveda and Panchakarma treatments. I spent 19 days at Vaidyagrama seeking relief from leg pain caused by nerve damage. I was experiencing severe burning sensations and tingling pain in my sole. Thanks to the incredible doctors and therapists, my pain has significantly reduced. The serene environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city makes it an ideal place for healing. The rooms are clean and hygienic. The team of doctors and therapists provided outstanding care and support. A special thanks to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Renjisha, and Dr Sisira. I am truly grateful.

What a journey these last three weeks have been for us. We landed from New Zealand feeling very depleted, both physically and emotionally. The intention was to rest, recharge, restore and detox. The schedules, routines and food were, at first, confronting and very different from our culture and environment. But once we surrendered to the process and trusted it, things got easier. Everything is done in a way that makes us feel supported, heard and cared for, and all the staff members are very kind and lovely. After these three weeks, we feel much better—rested, calm, centred —and we now have a new understanding of our doshas and imbalances, as well as what to do about them. It’s in our hands now!
The sacredness and spirituality of the experience made it even more meaningful. Our only regret is that we hadn’t realized earlier that we should continue the treatment for three months afterwards and stay in a calm environment for at least three weeks. However, our plans to travel the world have led us in a different direction. Thanks to everyone—the team of doctors, therapists, cooks, priests, and everyone else.
Suggestions:
It would be helpful to have a printed sheet detailing the treatments we will receive, perhaps highlighting why each is beneficial for us. Sometimes, it was confusing.
We were not informed of some of the house rules. A printed sheet would have been helpful. Examples include putting your dishes outside, not shaving or cutting nails, and not showering in your room.
It would be helpful to receive a printed invoice with our fees during the first week of our stay.
A week or 10 days before arrival, it would be useful to send an email outlining what to bring and what not to bring.

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my experience here. It was truly life-changing and enriching. Everyone was incredibly kind, professional and helpful, and I feel privileged to have had such a wonderful introduction to Panchakarma. I am deeply grateful for everything I have learned. Before coming here, I had only a basic understanding of Ayurveda, but this week brought it to life and significantly expanded my knowledge. The entire staff was kind, patient and always willing to assist.
I enjoyed all the food, and even when I initially disliked the taste of some dishes, I reminded myself that this is natural medicine and followed the guidelines. Over time, I grew to appreciate it. The beauty and sounds of Nature were truly healing for my eyes and ears. The prayer and puja ceremonies were conducted with such punctuality, sincerity and depth that they felt heart-opening and meaningful. Even though I did not understand the words, I felt spiritually and emotionally connected.
I also loved meeting patients from around the world and hearing their stories—many of whom were returning patients. That itself is proof of the hospital’s excellence and the professionalism of its doctors and staff. Overall, I cherished this experience, as well as my first trip to India. I hope to return for more learning, healing and personal growth.

I am grateful for the guidance throughout my Panchakarma journey. For me, it was a week of faith, accompanied by a sense of healthy wonder. Dr Ramadas and Dr Shyamjith were patient with my questions and engaged with me as true partners in my healthcare. The therapists treated me with kindness and respect, even accommodating my shyness. Thank you for setting me on the path to renewal.

Dear Vaidyagrama, Thank you very much for all the care, love and devotional service. No words can describe my gratitude for all the love and care I received from all the staff— the doctors, the therapists, and all the people who made this place a wonderful experience. Thank you, Dr Vinod (no words can express my gratitude to him). I give my great thanks to Dr Anagha and Dr Sisira for listening to all my rantings at night; my great love and appreciation. To Ranjini chechi, Sindhu chechi, Greeshma, Femila, Viji and all the therapists—please do remember me. I feel I will be forever grateful to all of you. Thanks, and may God bless all of you for this wonderful service. A special thanks to Dr Om and Dr Ramadas for all their support and kind words.

What an experience—I will remember it forever! Seven days felt a bit too short, but I hope to take these lessons home and continue to grow. I always felt cared for, supported and safe. I am deeply grateful for the loving hands that worked on me every day. As I said a few times, this was my first time, but hopefully not my last. Thank you so much for all your care and guidance.

As I shared with our group last night during the closing ceremony, being here has been one of the most profound experiences of my life. Vaidyagrama is a truly special place, filled with so many loving and kind people. I felt deeply cared for through all my distress, from my headaches to my menstrual discomfort. Thank you for your love, and kindness and for holding space for me. It was a pleasure to work with every person here. I will cherish this experience in my heart forever.

Thank you for supporting my healing journey this past week. I’m also deeply grateful for the support you provided to the six women I brought with me on this wellness retreat to experience Panchakarma for the first time. I truly appreciate Aparna’s help—since 2023—in assisting me with organizing all the details of this retreat.
My heart is content with all the kindness, love and care we received from the doctors, therapists and staff. I hope to return one day soon. As an Ayurvedic Practitioner, it has been incredibly fulfilling to be here, experiencing Ayurveda alongside my retreat participants and clients. Thank you!

I truly loved my experience at Vaidyagrama! I learned so much about Ayurveda and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. My treatments were amazing—I felt deeply relaxed, and whenever I needed anything, it was provided with care. When I arrived, I was tired, inflamed, and experiencing joint pain. After a week, all my joints felt better except for my fingers, and now I wish I could have stayed longer for further healing. The rooms were very comfortable, and the bed nets kept the bugs out effectively. I am deeply grateful to everyone at Vaidyagrama for supporting my healing journey and taking such good care of me. I felt truly loved.

Dear Vaidyagrama Team,
I can’t thank you enough for all your support on my healing journey and your kindness, compassion, and understanding of my ups and downs during the Panchakarma. You were always there to respond to my questions and help resolve any issues that came up. The doctors and therapists were, in particular, so kind, thoughtful and gentle as we cleansed and healed my body inside out. Thank you so much for everything, and please take care of yourselves too.

Dear Vaidyagrama Team, I’m feeling rested, psychologically integrated, and physically whole as I write this. Dr Om Prakash and Dr Mojin Mathew guided my treatments with care, and the technicians attentively and happily carried on the treatments. The food was comforting and wholesome, and the housekeeping staff kept my room a perfect environment for rest and rejuvenation. I can recommend a stay at Vaidyagrama to all.

From the moment I was greeted at the front desk to the heartfelt goodbyes, I felt the love, care, kindness and dedication that make this place so special. It was incredibly inspiring to experience a different way of being—my stressful life felt miles away here. My favourite part, without a doubt, was the oil massages, which helped heal my whiplash. The doctors’ insights were strikingly accurate, almost disarming in their precision. I loved the rain, the chanting, the learning, and the spiritual depth of the question-and-answer sessions. The level of care and attention I received was truly remarkable. As a mother who lost my own mother long ago, it was deeply moving to be nourished and tenderly cared for in this way. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!

Respected Dr Ramanandan, Dr Ardent, Therapists Kalpana and Unnimaya, and everyone else. This is my third visit to Vaidyagrama, and each visit has been excellent, memorable, deeply satisfying, and healing! This is truly a unique jewel of an Ayurvedic centre—I can not imagine a better place. The conception and Vision behind it feel like an expression of Divine Will. The excellent Vaidyas and their teams, the therapists, the cleaning crew, the food, the delivery—everything from A to Z—are imbued with a compassionate spirit. Every person on this campus is kind, humble and natural! The spiritual vibrance created by the morning and evening chanting helps generate this powerful healing energy. And the afternoon sessions with the doctors contribute significantly to the understanding we gain. Heartfelt blessings to all involved in this sublime venture. My deepest gratitude, always.
Pranams to all,

What an incredible experience! I struggle to find the words to express my gratitude for the incredible gift of healing offered at Vaidyagrama. The attention to detail and constant emphasis on maintaining a tranquil healing environment is inspiring. The changes I have noticed in my sense of health and well-being in only three weeks of my stay are remarkable. I have great respect for all the staff and for the incredible wisdom of Ayurveda. I have already ordered several books and plan to begin studying Ayurveda formally when I return home. Thank you to all the amazing physicians and staff for creating a wonderful place of healing. I would like to thank my doctors, Dr Ramadas and Dr Vishagalakshmi, for all the care they have shown. I am a proud supporter of Vaidyagrama and look forward to seeing you again.

I felt that everyone had the genuine welfare of the patients in mind. The environment was kept clean and well taken care of. This helped me find peace, and I’ve learned valuable lessons on staying present. I hope to keep this perspective in life moving forward. Will be back, and will be in touch. Thank you.

It was serendipity that landed me at Vaidyagrama, and for that, I’m forever grateful. VG was highly recommended as the place to get great Ayurvedic care and Panchakarma treatments—CORRECT! Everything was taken care of, and I didn’t have to worry—I could just relax, trust, and submit to care and healing in a positive, loving, respectful environment. The doctors, therapists, housekeepers, and all the staff were so kind, happy, joyful, friendly, gentle, stress-free, skilled, professional, and caring.
I’m grateful for daily doctor check-ins and chats, and usually, 2 doctors check in both morning and afternoon. My main doctor was male—Dr Om—and then 2 women doctors—Dr Anagha and Dr Sisira—and Dr Vinod, the man with the long black beard stepped in once “doing the rounds.” They were all wonderful, professional, and supportive, and I fully trusted the process. Even with language barriers, respect and unconditional love were emotions easily transmitted—hand on heart! Admittedly, sadly, I only speak English, so I had to learn to listen deeply and alternatively to understand the accents. For sure, English was the language used for teaching/Satsangs at the Mandapam. Many of us patients talked about how difficult it was to get the gist of sentences, especially from the teacher doctors who spoke quietly or too rapidly. A microphone and speaker system would help a LOT! All the doctors had great command of English, but most other staff had basic English, which limited communication. But it all worked out, and I’m humbled to be treated so patiently and kindly—Namaste!
I love the culture here of bare feet and cross-legged sitting. You don’t see that much in the USA. In fact, in most stores and public buildings, it’s ‘No shirts, no shoes, no service’—CRAZY! At age 70, my goal was mostly to address the numbness starting in my big toes on each foot and to reset my body, mind, and spirit—for the rest of my life. In my 20 days here, I was diagnosed and had 6 PK treatments. I feel like I am on a solid path to continue following back home in the USA, along with my big box of medicinal teas, herbs, and oils. Thank you, thank you, thank you! May we all be filled with loving-kindness, be at peace and at ease, be happy, and be well. Peace, Love, and All the Good Stuff!
P.S. I wish the best for VG as the Vision keeps growing, and I hope to return to see the changes and the flower I planted!

Vaidyagrama has been one of the best experiences of my life. This place has a beautiful ambience as well as great staff who are very respectful and conscious of patients' needs and well-being. I am greatly honoured to have met wonderful physicians like Dr Ramadas; Dr Mojin is unlimited. They go above and beyond to help heal their patients to their utmost capacity. I feel greatly healed, not only physically but mentally and spiritually. This place is no less than heaven on earth. I am deeply grateful for all the care I received from each of the staff. Hoping to be back again shortly.

I have spent 37 days at Vaidyagrama. I arrived in a very bad state, severely depressed and hopeless after trying all treatments available in the US—talk therapy, meds, inpatient care, ketamine etc. I truly believe these 37 days have saved my life. From the very first week, I felt a calm presence here. All the therapists made me feel so much at ease for every treatment. I’m truly grateful for them and admire their work ethic and compassion. Dr Ramadas helped me realize how important spirituality is in my life and how I can use it, and practice it to become a better version of myself. Within my second week, I felt so much calmer and present—grateful for being alive. It didn’t matter which doctor checked on me every day. Each one made me feel completely at ease, trusting the process and healing. I am so grateful to the entire team—doctors, therapists, cooks, and everyone else behind the scenes who made it so that I didn’t have to follow up on anything and just had everything taken care of for me. This freed up a lot of time for journaling, contemplating, slow walks etc. That accelerated my healing process. I now feel confident to return home and carry with me the love and warmth of Vaidyagrama. I will be back soon.

DEAR VAIDYAGRAMA! It's with deep gratitude and reverence that I am leaving this place, which has taken such good care of me and held a beautiful space for a challenging process and a loving release. I am so so IMPRESSED by the depth, professionalism, and thorough expertise that everyone working here holds and emits. This place is really breathing and living Ayurveda, a system that I am forever grateful for and amazed by. I wish I could stay longer and hope to be back for a full PK next time. Thank you from my heart for all your patience, wise words and utmost care. Inspired and with more trust and hope, I leave here — happy to make the choice to live free and happy as my true self. Namaste and greetings from my heart. PS: I shall miss the morning and evening prayers deeply, but will take them with me home.

This was my first time in India and my first trip alone without my husband—a truly life-changing experience. I have felt such deep nurturing and care from so many like-hearted souls, something I did not receive as a child or for most of my adult years. As someone who has been a nurturer and caretaker for as long as I can remember, being on the receiving end of such love and support was profoundly moving and something I clearly needed. At 44, I now truly understand how to nourish and nurture my body, mind and spirit. These past two weeks have allowed me to slow down, reflect and deepen my relationship with myself. I have also witnessed the compassion and dedication that every soul here brings to the patients. Vaidyagrama is one of the most authentic healing organizations I have ever seen. The mission of this foundation embodies what all healing centres should aspire to be. I will always hold deep love and gratitude for everyone here. My husband and I plan to return every other year.
With love,

My sincere appreciation for all your fine work. This is truly a labour of love—every person involved has demonstrated a high degree of dedication. From the esteemed doctors to the therapists and all the support staff—you have all been nothing short of wonderful. Even with so many patients, I am amazed at how organized you are and how you still manage to provide such a high level of personalized care. It is also commendable how much humility everyone displays in their work.
Vaidyas, your professionalism is truly admirable. A special thank you to Dr Vinod, Dr Ardent, and Dr Vineesh—your commitment to ensuring your patients improve is evident and deeply appreciated. Another heartfelt thank you to the very nurturing therapists—Kalpana, you are excellent at what you do. It has also been lovely to be cared for by two little angels: Arunima and Unnimaya. It is refreshing to be in a place where the staff is genuinely happy and intentionally focused on healing. That makes all the difference. Your warmth, willingness to please, and yet firmness in following the treatment protocol build trust, and I am confident you will continue to help many more people. Please keep smiling and creating this powerful atmosphere of healing.
This has been a truly unique experience, and I hope to return in the future. My best wishes to all of you—I will miss this place dearly. Special thanks to Basanti for keeping our room clean—and doing it so joyfully. Thank you, Dr Rose, for showing me how to make pleats—you are awesome! And Dr Ardent, best wishes to the new baby!

I personally do not know where to begin, as this journey of healing for my daughter and myself has been a karmic blessing—a Divine grace of Devi and Shiva looking upon us, granting us insight and helping us navigate our path into this heavenly abode of healing—emotionally, physically and spiritually. My family will be forever grateful to the lovely, ever-smiling Vaidyagrama family, always ready to help and guide us. Dr Ramanandan has been a guiding force—so positive and encouraging, with a warmth of knowledge. There is so much to learn from him. His humility and approachable nature always made us feel so comfortable.
Dr Ardent, you were amazing—assertive yet kind, and always there to support us through the rigorous phases of our journey. We missed you these past two days. Having you around gave us the assurance that we were on the right path. Wishing you happiness and blessings on your journey into fatherhood! Dr Aparna and Dr Rose—always smiling, yet so attentive and dedicated to ensuring we followed all instructions and were taken care of throughout our stay. Dr Aparna, wishing you joy and blessings in your motherhood. Dr Vineesh, thank you as well for your politeness and reassuring presence. We wish you all the best on your journey—may you become another one of Vaidyagrama’s amazing physicians. Kalpana Akka, we missed you dearly. Unnimaya, you are a rock star! Wishing you great success—may Shiva give you strength to flourish with your gift and talent. Thank you for all your help. Your care during our last couple of days, especially your refreshing facials, was deeply appreciated. Thank you all for making our journey so wonderful. We will surely return, hoping to meet you all again in the future. With gratitude,

I don't think there are enough words to explain how thankful and appreciative I am towards all of you. You have all been a part of my healing journey, and I am forever grateful. This journey of healing and getting better was something I knew would be a challenge. Although I can be shy and take time to open up, you have all been so patient, kind, understanding and supportive. I couldn’t have asked to be placed with a better group of people. You are all so devoted and passionate about helping others—it truly shows. I feel so much better now, and along with my healing, I was lucky not only to have an amazing team but also to share this experience with my mom.
Dr Ramanandan, you are truly one of a kind. Thank you for your guidance, support and encouragement. You have really helped me understand more about my health, Ayurveda, and the changes I need to make. Dr Rose and Dr Vineesh, thank you for everything and for your continued support. Dr Aparna, thank you for your care and support. I wish you all the best in this new chapter of your life—you’re going to be an amazing mom. Dr Ardent, I can't thank you enough.
Thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone and encouraging me to attend the satsangs and events. Thank you for being patient, and supportive, and for explaining everything so clearly throughout the treatment process. Although I said I would go to yoga, I never did—sorry! But I will be back again... only on the condition of no more treatment (but that's negotiable). Congratulations to you and your family on the newest addition! Kalpana, Beena, Unnimaya and Arunima—you are the gems of Vaidyagrama. Seeing your smiling faces every day and feeling your positive energy were among the best parts of my stay and my healing journey. You are all so skilled and talented—thank you truly for making me feel better.
Thank you so, so much. I’m really going to miss all of you. I can’t wait to come back and hope to see you soon.

Beloved Healers, My heart is completely touched and broken open by this ancient healing art. It is the great blessing of my life to have received 3 weeks of transformative care, wisdom and loving-kindness. My 57-year-old body is renewed, and all of my body, mind and spirit are deeply nourished. Thank you for letting me fall apart and letting go of so much stored-up pain and worry. At one point on the treatment table, I felt like a newborn baby, cared for by the Divine mother—naked, new, innocent, so loved. Surely this place is one of the most exceptional spaces on Mother Earth. Such Vision, such remembrance. I have loved praying all day. Enjoyed the warmth of the housekeeping staff and reception back-office helpers, received deep wisdom from all of my doctors, and laughed with Dr Om Prakash. The treatment therapists are my heroes. My tears of gratitude fall on this page.
Deepest gratitude, love, and peace,

To the Vaidyagrama Team—each and every one of you whom I’ve had the honour and pleasure to meet— I would like to say an enormous thank you. I believe that a lot of the positive energy in this place comes from the marvellous people working together in such a beautiful environment. Though my stay has been shorter than I originally planned, it has been long enough for me to realize that I will surely return for a longer period. I have come to understand the subtle unblocking—without force—that gradually takes hold of you.
All of the doctors and the entire team amazed me with their gentle yet precise way of explaining the treatments, along with their pros and cons. One can sense the goodness not only in the people but also radiating in the atmosphere all around. The doors here are open to everyone, and blessings truly flow from that openness.
Keep up the wonderful work—every single member of the Vaidyagrama family. I hope to bring my mother here one day. Also, an extremely grateful acknowledgement to all the kitchen crew, who—with such passion—nurture everyone on this campus.
With best and warm regards,

Thank you, Vaidyagrama team. You do an amazing job bringing your guests authentic, caring and healing treatments. I really enjoyed this experience and feel empowered to start my own healing journey. Hopefully, I won’t need to come back, but if I do mischievous things, it’ll be a pleasure and joy to visit again.
Aneesh and Satheesh were amazing therapists who put intention and consciousness into their work! They really deserve a special shout-out! Dr Anagha was amazing and had incredible attention to detail.
And Dr Ramdas is incredible—he would get a 5-star rating from me, but I’m deducting 0.5-star points because he thinks 6 beers at boys’ night is excessive and violent to my body. Jokes aside, this has been beautiful, and insightful, and will help me live a healthier and fuller life. Btw, thank you and much love!

This is not my first time here—and certainly not my last. I came to Vaidyagrama to detox from all the anti-cancer drugs I’ve been taking. I have already introduced several friends to this healing space, and I feel truly healed, rejuvenated and pain-free. My insides feel clean. I would like to thank Dr Ramkumar and Dr Ramadas for being here from the very beginning. I am especially lucky to have Semina as my therapist—she has taken such good care of my fragile body, along with the other wonderful therapists. Dr Ramanandan, thank you. A very special thank you to Dr Ramadas—so wise, so philosophical, and an absolutely fantastic doctor. Thank you to all the doctors who supported me through a difficult time. I will definitely be back again. Dr Aparna is excellent—my best wishes to her and to all of you.

This is my second visit, and I can truly say I was not disappointed. There are so many people to thank for making this such a healing place. The entire atmosphere is therapeutic—the peaceful environment, the sound of birds and peacocks—everything contributes to the serenity and calm. Dear Dr Ramanandan, thank you for your wonderful care and for listening to me so patiently. You listened to all my concerns with such understanding. You are truly a blessing! Thank you also to Dr Ardent, Dr Rose, Dr Vinod and Dr Haneena. You are all very kind and patient. A big thanks to Beena, Arunima, Unnimaya and Kalpana—you all do wonderful work, and it’s such a pleasure to see your smiling faces each day. Thanks also to all the staff who diligently keep the place clean and tidy. If God will, I hope to come again.

What a wonderful healing experience I had at Vaidyagrama—far beyond anything I could have imagined elsewhere. Such care, such loving attitudes in every smile, and such precision in the treatments I received made me feel truly well cared for. I feel immense gratitude for the medical team—Dr Vinod, Dr Rose, Dr Aparna—and the therapists Karthika, Bala, Indu, and Beena, all took such good care of me. A special thank you to Dr Vinod for sharing so much valuable information with me—it was fascinating to understand the treatments I received. I feel so nourished, with all my senses awakened. I thoroughly enjoyed being in this beautiful and peaceful environment, which is so thoughtfully designed, well-maintained, and grounded in a holistic approach. What a Vision brought to life—an epitome of healing, sustainability and community. I have deep admiration for the project of setting up this healing village, for its eco-friendly philosophy, and for its social engagement with the surrounding community. It is such an inspiring way of living together, and I am sure it will continue evolving beautifully on its path.

Thank you, everyone at Vaidyagrama. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful 8-day experience I had at Vaidyagrama. From the moment I arrived, I was truly impressed by the professional and kind doctors, the kind and attentive therapists, and the warm welcoming staff. Each person contributed to making my stay incredibly comfortable and memorable.
The food was absolutely delicious—healthy Sattva food, nourishing in every way. I looked forward to each meal. The serene, Nature-filled surroundings of the village also made the experience so much more special.
It was the perfect environment for relaxation and rejuvenation, and I will carry the peaceful energy with me. Thank you once again for providing such a wonderful experience! I look forward to visiting again in the future!!
Thank you,

This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama, and once again, the team of doctors and therapists has been amazing. They do a wonderful job caring for each patient, which is one of the reasons I chose to return this year. I have been undergoing treatment under the care of Dr Harikrishnan and have seen tremendous improvement. The only feedback I would like to share is regarding the food. I’m not expecting gourmet meals, just simple, palatable food. There were days when I found the kashayam tastier than the meals served. I sincerely hope some improvements can be made to the food and menu. I look forward to returning for another round of treatment. Until then, goodbye and thank you for being a part of my healing journey.

This is my 15th or 16th visit here. I first came in 2019 and stayed in Dr Ramadas’ house—I believe I was the very first patient here. What an amazing vision and dream Dr Ramkumar had, and the determination to see it come true! Vaidyagrama truly gives you the feeling of being with nature and loved ones. The doctors here are not only physicians but also friends and mentors. Dr Ramadas, my wonderful primary doctor, is just amazing. Thank you also to Dr Om Prakash, Dr Ramanandan, and Dr Harikumar—all of you have been incredibly supportive and available at all times. The therapists—Semina, Indu, Devaki, Bindu, and helpers Aneeta and Athira—are absolute jewels. Their healing hands, warm smiles, and exceptional care make this place feel like heaven. Even the IT staff, the back-office team, and the ever-willing Krishna-ji add to the efficiency and charm of Vaidyagrama. Not forgetting the cleaning and laundry staff, who do an excellent job—truly wonderful. For me, Vaidyagrama feels like home, and I love coming here and being spoiled by all these wonderful people. Wishing you all good luck, peace, and happiness. Thank you.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family, Deep gratitude for inviting me, taking care of me, and participating with devotion and care in my healing journey. While I am aware that every person I met and didn’t meet directly in this community contributed to my healing, I wish to convey my gratitude to Dr Ramanand, Dr Hima, Dr Vishagalakshmi, Dr Arun, Dr Ramadas, Dr Om Prakash, and to the therapists Greeshma, Seema, Arya, Femila, and others. Wishing you all a blessed life as you have blessed mine.

First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the entire Vaidyagrama team. My two weeks of stay were absolutely wonderful and an authentic Ayurveda experience. The treatments and overall care have been the best I have ever received. All my questions were patiently answered by Dr Vinod and Dr Vishagalakshmi. Both are extremely knowledgeable and explain every treatment in great detail. The therapists were amazing, taking so much care (especially Shyni, who was delightful, discreet, and very professional). The massages were rejuvenating and healing, and Nature, with lots of birds and trees, helped tremendously with the healing process. Leaving this cosy place makes me feel a little sad, but I am feeling lighter, energized, and ready to implement some of the Ayurveda wisdom I learned into my daily life.

I arrived at Vaidyagrama feeling overwhelmed by stress and fatigue from work and life in a big city. The environment and the deep intentionality behind the entire Vaidyagrama campus and its practices are truly astounding. From the moment you arrive, you feel that you are in a place of genuine authenticity. The level of care and attention provided by the therapists, staff, and doctors is a rare luxury—especially compared to the brief 10-minute doctor visits in the U.S. I will deeply miss the serenity and peacefulness of this place. Vaidyagrama is truly unique—a perfect place to learn the meaning of rest and to find the space and time for reflection.

This is my second visit to VG. I came in 2020 for a few days when my wife was the patient. When I discovered that a health issue came up, we first thought of Dr Ramanandan and VG. His expertise and reassurance on the phone made me pack my bags and arrive at VG. I realized it was time to invest 3 weeks in my well-being. I stayed at C5 (505) and loved it—spacious rooms, nice walking paths, common dining area. I liked sharing space with others on the same journey. After that, it was a breeze. The caring and nurturing nature of all the doctors—Dr Ramanandan, Dr Anagha, and Dr Renjisha—were truly amazing. They explained the process in a very reassuring way and gently held your hand throughout the whole time. You never feel like you're alone in this. What also blew my mind was the attitude, dedication, and commitment of the support staff, therapists, dining room staff, the girls who replaced water, and everyone else. The campus has grown, but the nurturing and caring ethos continues. I will be forever thankful to all the doctors, the VG family, and my therapists, Sathish, and Girish, who were truly outstanding in their involvement, devotion, and focus on healing. I feel blessed that I could come to VG and start my healing journey. Hoping to come back more regularly, even if I don’t have any health/well-being issues. My gratitude to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Anagha, Dr Renjisha, Sathish and Girish. Had a chance to speak to Krishnakumar, the Operations Head. Big compliments to him for running a tight ship and making things work like clockwork. Forgot to mention the caring treatment of Dr Sisira—ever grateful.

After just seven days, I feel lighter and more energetic, having lost 1.5 kgs. What I’ve learned here is that when done properly, diet and exercise can significantly improve gut health. Thanks to the Vaidyagrama team for helping me make this important shift in my life. I would love to return for a longer stay in the future.

First of all, thank you, Vaidyagrama. I am very happy to have been here. I don’t even know how to fully express what this place means to me—whatever I say may not be enough. Vaidyagrama is not just a treatment centre. While they say it’s a place for healing and a healthier life, I would say Vaidyagrama brings a complete change to one's life. Along with the treatments, we learn how to change our way of living—for the better. I feel truly blessed to have come here. Now, I would like to thank all the guiding and supportive forces at Vaidyagrama who made my 14-day stay so meaningful. First, thank you to Buggy Anna. From morning prayers to evening treatments, he helped us travel to and from Vaidyagrama with such care.
Thank you to the reception team for assisting me with my limited English and for understanding our needs so patiently and promptly. Before arriving, I was confused and unsure—how would we manage, how would we communicate? However, I soon realized that language is never a barrier when it comes to the kindness and values of the people here.
A big thank you to Dr Vinod and Dr Aparna—both are incredibly kind, understanding, and supportive. Thank you to my therapist, who was so gentle, helpful, and caring—just like a mother. And lastly, one of my favourite parts: the cow pooja and the group lunches—such a beautiful, soulful experience. Thank you, Vaidyagrama family, for everything.
With love,

To the Vaidyagrama Team, I recently had the pleasure of visiting Vaidyagrama, and I must say the experience was outstanding. From the moment I walked in until the moment I stepped out, I felt completely at home. The atmosphere, the temple, the pooja, the common lunch, and the classes all made me feel deeply connected to the place. The doctors and staff are incredibly friendly and approachable. I truly believe that one must experience Vaidyagrama for true inner self-realization. Their exceptional service and dedicated team have earned my trust. Thank you all. Warm regards,

Thank you all for the wonderful experience Vaidyagrama has given us. This was our first visit, and we thoroughly enjoyed the 21 days we spent here. We truly felt as if it was our home and not a hospital. The environment is amazing, and the long walks I had here were great. The patients were very friendly and loving, and the time spent here was enriching on all levels—physically, mentally, and spiritually. I enjoyed the prayers, the community lunches, and many of the activities. My heartfelt thanks go to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Ardent, Dr Vinod, Dr Rose, Dr Haneena and Dr Aparna. We received personal and special care. I would also like to thank Kalpana, Arunima, Unni Maya, Beena, Santosh, Lalu, Mithun, and many other therapists. They are all hardworking and a pleasure to be with. I truly felt that the doctors and therapists were not just caregivers, but friends. Their dedication to the institute is greatly appreciated. I hope I will be able to come back more often. Thank you all. Warm regards,

“ENGAGED IN THE WELFARE OF ALL”. The world needs healing. The world needs peace and harmony. The ethical and moral code of conduct is the very foundation of healing, yoga, Vedanta and Ayurveda. The Vaidyagrama community has been not only providing this mass healing and peace (individual and world) but also practising these ethical and moral standards of heavenly living or wise living. Swami Vivekananda highlighted 3 mantras apart from the far Veda mantra (Mathru Devo Bhava, Pitru Devo Bhava, Acharya Devo Bhava, Adithi devo Bhava) with the new mantras: Rogi devo Bhava (admire the diseased as God), Daridra devo Bhava (see and admire the poor as God), The founder and doctor of Vaidyagrama, Dr Ramkumar has been carrying out this message of Dharma through Ayurveda and spreading it all over the world. Those who are a little introverted and calm will understand the value of this atmosphere here with nature, tranquillity and calmness. I have been visiting Vaidyagrama almost every year and am a witness to its service activities at both national and international levels. I sincerely pray to God Almighty to bless all directors/brand members/doctors/administrators with excellent health, peace, and spiritual illumination. An “Ayurvedic University” in South India (Tamil Nadu/Kerala) is one of my great visions for India, and I hope Dr Ramkumar will nationalize the “Ayurveda University” soon.

A heartfelt thank you to Vaidyagrama for their dedication and exceptional service to the Vaidyagrama treatment. Vaidyagrama is truly a wonderful place, highly recommended for Ayurveda and Panchakarma treatments. I spent 19 days at Vaidyagrama seeking relief from leg pain caused by nerve damage. I was experiencing severe burning sensations and tingling pain in my sole. Thanks to the incredible doctors and therapists, my pain has significantly reduced. The serene environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city makes it an ideal place for healing. The rooms are clean and hygienic. The team of doctors and therapists provided outstanding care and support. A special thanks to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Renjisha, and Dr Sisira. I am truly grateful.

What a journey these last three weeks have been for us. We landed from New Zealand feeling very depleted, both physically and emotionally. The intention was to rest, recharge, restore and detox. The schedules, routines and food were, at first, confronting and very different from our culture and environment. But once we surrendered to the process and trusted it, things got easier. Everything is done in a way that makes us feel supported, heard and cared for, and all the staff members are very kind and lovely. After these three weeks, we feel much better—rested, calm, centred —and we now have a new understanding of our doshas and imbalances, as well as what to do about them. It’s in our hands now!
The sacredness and spirituality of the experience made it even more meaningful. Our only regret is that we hadn’t realized earlier that we should continue the treatment for three months afterwards and stay in a calm environment for at least three weeks. However, our plans to travel the world have led us in a different direction. Thanks to everyone—the team of doctors, therapists, cooks, priests, and everyone else.
Suggestions:
It would be helpful to have a printed sheet detailing the treatments we will receive, perhaps highlighting why each is beneficial for us. Sometimes, it was confusing.
We were not informed of some of the house rules. A printed sheet would have been helpful. Examples include putting your dishes outside, not shaving or cutting nails, and not showering in your room.
It would be helpful to receive a printed invoice with our fees during the first week of our stay.
A week or 10 days before arrival, it would be useful to send an email outlining what to bring and what not to bring.
Warm regards,

Dearest, most cherished Vaidyagrama doctors, therapists, and staff, I thought I had shared everything in the note I passed to Dr. Hima, but there is more to say: I came here to heal my bones, but your generous care, prayerful environment, and the beauty of nature around us (and within us) healed my sad, tired heart. I leave all my sorrows here and in back feel lighter, brighter, and more joyful. More healed. Thank you for helping me to finally build a healing relationship with my precious body and soul. Despite my mood and body swings, low to high, I have always remained calm and with high spirit; this too was medicine for me. The prayers, the food, the Satsangs, the peacocks, all the bird songs, and the beautiful cows—all this was nourishing for me. My deepest thanks and pranams for this gift of Panchakarma and the healing village. Especially thanks to Dr. Vishagalakshmi, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Hima, and therapist Seema, Greeshma for the lovely care and support.

My immeasurable gratitude to all who helped me, supported me, and guided me on this path whose name is Ayurveda. Ayurveda is the very translation of the great Mother Nature, with her laws that we often do not understand. You will reap what is planted, and here, I could see that what is planted is good. So for 22 days, I received the best with a lot of work, dedication and love! They strove to do their best and provide healing, well-being and therapies, starting with the place with its natural and architectural beauty, its energy of good vibrations and peace, also the accommodations, always favouring comfort and through their large windows and doors, contact with Nature, could hear birds and even receive the visits of peacocks that move freely… Blessed rain that satiated the thirst of all creation; there came meals, always nutritious, colourful and tasty; procedures, massages, herbal medicines, medicated oils; prayers, group activities… So holistically, this offers us the cure we seek so much: physical, mental and spiritual. Gratitude to the therapists of Vaidya 5 for your important work. Gratitude to the Vaidya 4 staff who attended to my room, and thank you, Vijitha and Abhi, for the massages before bed. And finally, my gratitude and admiration to my doctors: Dr. Anagha and Dr. Shreya (initially) and Dr. Om Prakash and Dr. Anupama for their patience in understanding my poor English, for their lovingness and competence in conducting my treatment. And gratitude to Aparna Sarma, where it all began… I hope to see you again next season!

Thank you all. This is my 2nd time at Vaidyagrama. I am under the care of Dr. Harikrishnan, who listened to my condition and treated me. Dr. Vishagalakshmi, who is taking care of my treatment process, is very caring and supportive. Therapist was equally good and provided very much comfort during treatment. I have seen significant improvement in my health. I would highly recommend this place.

I read online that Vaidyagrama is like a family, and I truly experienced that with the amazing staff and doctors at Illam 8. Shyne, Arya and Darshana were incredibly dedicated therapists who provided treatments, medicines, and food with great care. A special shoutout to Jagadeeswari Akka, who kept my room extremely well-maintained. During my three-week stay, I did feel at times that the doctors at my Illam were changing frequently. However, once Dr. Anagha and Dr. Kavya stepped in, I felt at ease. It would be appreciated if this aspect could be managed better, as I found myself repeating my symptoms to at least four to five doctors. The community is warm and engaging yet also provides space to rest—kudos to the team managing this aspect! It's a wonderful concept, and very well implemented. I feel rejuvenated after my 21 days here. I understand now that it’s more than just treatment—it’s about living an Ayurvedic life. I'm sure the real changes and effects will become even more evident in the coming days once I’m back home. Dr. Omprakash was able to understand my symptoms thoroughly and was very attentive in his interactions. Thanks to him, I feel well treated. That said, I didn’t feel I was educated enough by Vaidyagrama about which doctor specializes in which area of treatment. I wondered how knowledge flows within the hospital’s doctor network. I’ld recommend that this be addressed during the online consultation phase. While I have no complaints about Dr. Omprakash—he was excellent—I would’ve appreciated knowing his specialization before being assigned to him, just to stay informed. The food wasn’t bad at all, unlike what some other Indian patients said—ha-ha, I liked it! I would recommend Vaidyagrama (I already have!) and would love to stay a part of this wonderful family.

To the Vaidyagrama team! In the last two and a half years, I was trying to switch to vegetarian food and had issues with low iron, low blood pressure, and low energy. I even tried vegan and raw food at times. Until my friend mentioned doshas, then I realised I had to eat warm food, drink warm water. And even then, I had low iron, low blood pressure and tiredness. To my surprise, I discovered that those are side effects of cleansing the body according to the Ayurveda lifestyle. This gave me reassurance of the right path. And here I was able to create a routine, understand doshas, and carry on in my lifestyle. I am so grateful to have been here; the doctors are amazing. I hope I can conceive; we've been trying to have a baby for many years. I am hoping to bring my husband here. I am planning to come next year if God allows. I really enjoyed my stay here, listening to kirtan and temple prayers, to the sound of the Lord and the rain. I was able to connect to my roots as my grandmother used to take care of the cow, reminding me of my childhood. Thank you, Vaidyagrama team, I already miss you!

Staff were polite and understood the patients’ problems. Food provided was healthy and balanced. Divine power in your Vaidyagrama made me more relaxed. Your valuable contribution to patient care made me feel like a family. I spent 25 days in Vaidyagrama and felt better after treatment provided here. A special thanks to Dr Ramada’s Sir, Dr. Omprakash Sir, Dr. Sisira, Dr. Renjisha, and Dr. Sreya. A great thanks to the whole Vaidyagrama and its team for providing love, care and support.

We arrived here following our daughter’s recommendation, with minimum knowledge about the place. We found a beautiful, clean, well-organized and architecturally beautifully designed space. One month isolated from the external world, which helped us calm down, reading much more than we do at home, feeling that the whole process helps us to cure. We would like to thank the committed and efficient staff. Special thanks to Dr. Hari Kumar and marvellous Dr. Rose who answered all our questions and explained in detail everything we asked. The full program with the lectures and talks with the doctors, the cooking class and all other activities were excellent, helping us understand Ayurveda principles better. Thanks to the devoted workers of this place, who were doing the treatments, cleaning the room, taking laundry and bringing it back clean and smelly. Thank you!

I am very grateful for the amazing time of healing that I have received here. The staff members are amazing, loving and caring. I felt so much love and connection to everybody who took care of me. The treatments were not easy sometimes, and my Pitta was very hard to reduce, but in the end, I felt so much shift in me, a positive change in my mood, and the removal of old stress.
Special thanks to Doctors Pavitra and Harikumar for the real care, attention, love, and for fulfilling every small request or need. May Vaidyagrama grow and prosper. May more people come and heal.

I really appreciate such great care. At home, I must prepare Ayurvedic food, so I know how much time and care it needs. Thank you also for allowing our group to do Om chanting and sing the divine mantra Sri Vitthala Giridhan Parabrahmane Namah. May my Sat guru, Paramahamsa Vishwananda, bless all of you for further success and progress.

In the Sanatana tradition, it is said that matches for marriages are made in heaven, but little did we realise that this principle applied to other areas of life too. Looking back now, I recall just 15 days ago what our life circumstances were. My wife’s recent bereavement and the need to find peace and quiet. Her issues of vertigo and ringing in the ears, my long-standing issues of prostate and constant neck pain, are looking for a solution. I could go on, but out of the blue, one name emerged: Vaidyagrama. And suddenly everything started falling into place. My daughter, thanks to her studies in Ayurveda, was the one who introduced us to this village of Vaidyas and made all the arrangements for our one-week visit and treatment with just a few phone calls. Thus, we arrived at this grama without much ado and from the time we exited Coimbatore airport to be received by a well-written placard & a polite chauffeur arranged by Vaidyagrama to the time we departed (again through Vaidyagrama facilitated taxi), it was a blissful space of seven days and months.
At every part of our stay, it was clear that a very deep and well-thought out plan and SOP was in place and executed equally well by motivated trained doctors and staff executing them to a T. Whilst there were innumerable aspects to land, some clear standouts were: a beautiful self-contained and furnished, spacious accommodation; the unique SOP of everything, starting from the doctors, timely medicines, food, all being served in the room itself; despite the April summer, the covered walkways, trees and greenery all around hardly made one feel the heat; even the special treatments (oil massages) being done within the Ilam itself.
The brilliant aspect of worship before commencement of each treatment signifying the innate beliefs of the Sanatana Dharma that ultimately Ishwara’s grace is what cures; the simple but sattvic and sumptuous vegetarian food; the regular pooja in the two temples of Dhanwantari and Lord Shiva; the blissful morning prayer sessions; the all-round smiling and courteous service showcasing a highly motivated team executing their Swadharma; the unbelievable extent and painstaking details that have been gone into to align with nature in all spheres; the orientation tour clearly revealing the deep-set beliefs of seva bhavana of the founders and their crystallized actions to develop the community of 15 or so villages around them. I could go on, but as they say, even a thousand more words may not do proper justice. The repeated visits of foreign clients especially from foreign shores say it all. Thank you, Vaidyagrama. Along with repairing and cleaning our bodies and minds, you have touched our atma.

Hare Krishna! Great experience, we felt at home, and what was special for us was the friendly approach of all the staff. We discovered deep friendship with Dr. Om, Dr. Pavithra, Dr. Ramkumar, the healers, Sathish, Surya and the ladies. This friendship allowed us to stay put and not escape when it became tough. We feel now part of your family and Vision, and we shall return for more healing in the future.
Anyway, Lord Krishna sent us here for a reason, as He promises in the Bhagavad Gita 9.22: “Yoga Kshemam Vamyaham”: He takes personal care of His devotees. We also enjoyed the cows, the cleanliness, the lectures and the food. We felt we could answer any issue. If some bitter taste was to be considered, it was our placement in our first room, which was too hot and smelly, with no view. We spent a week or so there (10 days), not knowing that the other housing is homelier and cooler. I would expect that you would allow me to choose my own accommodation, and the second home we stayed in was much better, so why suffer for a week…
Thank you. Hare Krishna!

It was very nice to be here with all the possibilities you have here, like prayers, lectures, and all the programs like Satsang. It was also a nice idea that the guest planted a tree, and I appreciate this very much. Thank you to everybody with whom I interacted for care and kindness.

A big thank you to everyone at Vaidyagrama. While I’ve been wanting to come here for several years now, I finally got the opportunity this year. Dr. Ramanandan was wonderful. His quiet and contemplative nature, together with the strictness, is very reassuring. I loved that all the doctors on my team had time to spend with me, and I never felt rushed. Dr. Ardent, Dr. Rose, and Dr. Haneena were all wonderful. Beena was great, taking care of my comfort during and after treatment. Unnimaya, Arunima, Prema, and all the other therapists in my team were also wonderful. Special thanks to Vasantha, who cleaned my room and always had a smile and a kind word. The doctors each come with their own experience and views, and while the underlying thread with Ayurveda is the same, it was very interesting to learn perspectives during the afternoon talks. A few friends will be coming here over the next weeks and months. I have only great things to say about Vaidyagrama. Organising the entire operation to run so well is an amazing feat. There are no compromises anywhere, but nothing here is inflexible. I hope to return next year. A couple of suggestions: Therapist aprons are the disposable, non-woven kind. Those are not good for the environment and typically show high levels of lead, if it is the same material. Please consider a bank of lockers by the reception/admin building for patient use for valuables we may not need during treatment, but are travelling with.

My third time here, and it always feels like coming back home. I am always happy to come here and sad to leave. Dr. Dhanya is the sweetest. Dr. Vishaga and Dr. Shyam as well. Therapists like Lakshmi and Aneesha make the stay extra special. I am sad to say the hygiene levels are not as good as they used to be. My suggestion would be that the treatment room toilet be thoroughly cleaned after every patient uses it. The cleaning of the attached bathrooms can also be better. Some of the newer therapists who come trained from elsewhere should be given training on how things are done at Vaidyagrama. There is a stark difference between those trained here and those who come from outside training. One more suggestion would be to please change the bottles for water. Half of them are very old and damaged from the inside. Also, please clean the water bottles between uses and the glasses in the room as well. Thank you to the rest of the staff as well for always making the stay so comfortable.

This is probably the most carefully planned healing space where body, mind, and soul are nurtured with love and care by all doctors, therapists, cleaning staff, cooking staff, receptionists, not to mention the watchmen and technical team. The essence of Vaidyagrama, as I have experienced it, has been to cure the spirit, calm the soul, and heal the root of the issue, finally the body. Such meticulous care throughout this healing journey has been provided by my main doctor, Dr. Ramanandan, who listens attentively and then quietly prescribes solutions to an amazingly efficient, sweet-natured, loving, ever-smiling team, including the group therapists Aditya Bala and Karthika, who have made each treatment so much fun and nurturing. From not being able to walk much and stiffness from pain for over a year, being overweight, and extremely stressed out, I am feeling lighter in heart, body, and soul. Pain is gone, and my will to take on the world is back. Thank you Dr. Ramkumar, and the team of doctors for creating a heaven for those seeking solutions. Thinking of every little detail—the growing medicinal plants, purifying the air, buildings that retain the old-world charm but are up to date in activities. A spiritual environment where one can sit, meditate, chant, pray, and do pooja for loved ones. Illuminating satsangs where we are educated about various aspects of Ayurveda and treatments. Being with nature has a special charm, not to mention food that is so sattvic and specially designed to calm the doshas and soul. Love that you are constantly evolving, now coming up with a retirement home project (already in place, I believe). The peace I have felt here, reconnecting with my true self and getting grounded, recharged, and healed, has been truly magical. Thank you all for keeping the essence of Ayurveda alive and for preserving the goodness that is latent in all mankind. This is one of the most positive healing centres all must experience in their lifetime. Every human has a time when life pace gets them down and they look for solutions. Come to Vaidyagrama, I would say. Thank you from the depth of my soul. Love the work being done. Kudos to the entire team.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, We are so grateful for everything you all have done for us. We woke up to the sounds of birds, peacocks and cows. You created a beautiful environment and space for healing. Dr. Hima is amazing and took such good care of us, and Dr. Vinod is an endless source of information, so helpful and simply an incredible doctor to help us. So thankful to all the therapists, they are so caring and accommodating.
Forever grateful for them and really looking forward to moving on with Vaidyagrama taking care of our health needs. Our only suggestion would be to advise patients in advance to prepare with luggage space for medicine. Thank you so much!

In awe of the level of professionalism across the entire Vaidyagrama community—from doctors to cleaners, gardeners to receptionists. I was inspired and fascinated by the scope of the work, the outreach, and the Vision that embraces the whole community, with even more plans still in the pipeline, priceless. The satsangs and talks were truly enriching. I felt I was able to learn a lot, not just from them but also from the insightful Q&A sessions with the doctors. My gratitude.
Therapists Manju ji and Bhavya ji were the very definition of warmth and kindness, always smiling. All the therapists were incredibly caring, especially important when one is feeling their most vulnerable. I felt truly blessed to have Dr. Harikrishnan as my doctor. I had complete confidence in him. While the twice-daily doctor visits are essential, I would suggest considering a way to reduce other room visits, though I understand this may be difficult.
During the first few days, I was constantly being woken up from feverish sleep with repeated "Excuse me, madam"—only to find it was for laundry, room cleaning, tea, a meal, or a kashayam. Once these things started being placed in the room quietly, without loudly announcing their arrival, it felt respectful. I hope other guests are not similarly startled out of their rest.
Love is at the heart of all that you do at Vaidyagrama, and what you are doing here is truly exceptional.
With gratitude,

Hare Krishna. God bless you. Thanks, everyone, for the best and super treatments. Really, the way the Vaidyagrama team treats guests is amazing. Doctors are highly educated, humble, responsible and dynamic. This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama. I felt so happy and good. Love to come again and again.
Cleanliness, food, treatments, timings and atmosphere are awesome. God bless everyone. Thanks, Dr. Pavithra ji, Dr. Ramadas ji and Dr. Sajna ji. All the doctors who conducted classes. Receptionists are so humble, loving, impressive and caring. This is the quality of Vaidyagrama. Doctors give so much attention to everyone beyond their duty timings. Beautiful female doctors. They just want to make sure we are happy. Thanks. God bless you. See you soon. My therapists, Anu, Jyotika, and Praveena, were so nice, hardworking, and humble. God bless them. Grishma did good work. Prayers are amazing. Getting good vibes.

I’m so deeply grateful to have found Vaidyagrama. This place is truly a sanctuary for the mind, body and soul. I love the Vision of Vaidyagrama —Health. The peaceful environment surrounded by Nature and the gentle and cheerful staff created a peaceful space for me to begin my healing journey.
The therapists Beena, Prema and Unnimaya were sincere, always making me comfortable and cared for me with kindness. A special thank you to Dr. Vinod for his deep expertise, empathy and for patiently helping me understand my body and the treatment. I also want to thank Dr. Haneena and Dr. Shreya for their support and the rightful care.
Being here not only supported my physical healing but also helped me somewhat with my spiritual side—something I hadn’t expected but now deeply cherish.

Thank you to everyone at Illam 8—Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Anagha, and Dr. Kavya—for all your care and extra support. And especially to the therapists Arya and Shiny. Thank you, girls—you both bring so much love, warmth, life and positivity to Vaidyagrama. Special thanks to Aneesha—the best abhyanga ever. It’s been an interesting stay, and I’m sure I will continue to unpack and process all of it in the coming months, through my home care and Dinacharya. I am truly thankful and appreciative of the experience. Wishing health and happiness to you all.

From the incredibly thoughtful doctors to the amazing therapeutic administrators to the wonderful helpers who make the entire campus clean and beautiful, to the wonderful gardeners, cooks and administrative staff— Everyone makes this place a warm, hospitable and thoughtful stay for all of us.
I especially appreciated the talks, garden walk, Yoga Nidra, and all the daily offerings on campus. The food has been sumptuous. I can’t wait to go back and share my experience with loved ones, though I will miss all the warm smiling faces of Vaidyagrama. I do hope to come back sometime in the future.

This is my fourth stay in Vaidyagrama, so coming here is like coming home. In an often-chaotic country, Vaidyagrama is not only an island of calm but also of quiet efficiency. I think I have learned a lot, firstly from the treatment this time. The new thing for me was learning to eat in a completely different way. Dr. Ramaprasad, Dr. Ramanandan, and my doctor Dr. Harikrishnan, gave me a lot of advice and guidance on a new way of eating and the importance of exercise. I will try to stick to it.

Though we met halfway through the treatment, Dr. Prameela quickly adjusted to us. Every question was answered patiently. The atmosphere was very homely, and she has a caring and knowledgeable personality. Thank you for your time. The food was healthy, tasty and less spicy—I will try to cook the same at home. Thanks to all the therapists—Dr. Dhanya, Dr. Anagha, Dr. Vishaga, and Dr. Renjisha. My therapists, Lakshmi, Prajisha and Aneesha, took utmost care to make me comfortable and gave their best.
Thanks to Dr. Ramanandan for the exceptional care he provided.

I really enjoyed my 21-day stay at Vaidyagrama. In the beginning, it was a little hard for me to adjust initially, but after a few days and going through the treatments, I gradually got accustomed to this way of living. I thank Vaidyagrama for providing such a nurturing environment. My gratitude to all the therapists who supported me during the therapies—Mr. Biju, Mr. Satish and Mr. Ratheesh. Thank you.

My stay at Vaidyagrama has been a profound and deeply restorative experience. Immersed in the serene healing of traditional Ayurveda, I found a space that honoured healing at every level— mind, body and spirit. One of the most significant parts of my treatment was undergoing Vasti therapy. It was intense, both physically and emotionally, yet I was continuously supported by the caring hands and compassionate presence of the therapists. The girls created an environment of trust and safety, allowing me to fully surrender to the process. Equally transformative was the spiritual guidance I received from Dr. Harikumar. His wisdom went beyond medicine, offering insights during our one-on-one sessions that I consider spiritual teachings—lessons I will carry with me long after I return home. His calm demeanour and intuitive understanding of deeper healing offered me a perspective on life that is both grounding and elevating. Vaidyagrama is not just a place for physical rejuvenation— It is a sanctuary where ancient wisdom is lived, and where healing is embraced as a sacred journey.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, I am K. Ramaprasad from Nelamangala, Bengaluru. I came here for treatment along with my wife Sudha Ramaprasad on the afternoon of 16th of April. What struck us was the nice reception and the grand ambience, tucked away from the bustling Coimbatore city. It is situated in natural surroundings with a lovely touch of aesthetic building structures made of natural resources.

To the Vaidyagrama team, we came here on the 16th of April with a lot of hope. Dr. Vineesh very patiently gathered our medical history in detail. Dr. Vinod explained the treatment protocol. As the treatment progressed, Dr. Vinod and Dr. Pavithra explained that things could worsen before they started improving—and they did. There were lots of ups and downs during the two weeks of treatment. Through all this, Dr. Vinod and Dr. Mojin were steady anchors. They were ready with medicines and comforting advice when there were unexpected issues. We absolutely loved the gentle and caring treatment given by the therapists. All the staff, especially the housekeeper, were very friendly and caring. There are areas that could be improved:
a. There was a lack of clarity regarding treatment cost, accommodation etc. The front office needs to be more upfront and transparent.
b. I could not adjust to the bland diet food provided. Although we liked this place very much, this could discourage a repeat visit.
c. We could not attend any of the daily lectures because it was too painful for me to walk to the Mandapam, and treatment schedules sometimes clashed.
d. While we appreciate Nature and believe we should co-exist with other creatures in our environment, we are not yet spiritually advanced enough to cohabitate with mosquitoes and cockroaches.
To sum up, we really appreciate the round-the-clock care provided by the doctors and therapists. Our good wishes to the Vaidyagrama team for continued success in their Mission!
Sudha Ramaprasad,

Dearest, most cherished Vaidyagrama doctors, therapists, and staff, I thought I had shared everything in the note I passed to Dr. Hima, but there is more to say: I came here to heal my bones, but your generous care, prayerful environment, and the beauty of nature around us (and within us) healed my sad, tired heart. I leave all my sorrows here and in back feel lighter, brighter, and more joyful. More healed. Thank you for helping me to finally build a healing relationship with my precious body and soul. Despite my mood and body swings, low to high, I have always remained calm and with high spirit; this too was medicine for me. The prayers, the food, the Satsangs, the peacocks, all the bird songs, and the beautiful cows—all this was nourishing for me. My deepest thanks and pranams for this gift of Panchakarma and the healing village. Especially thanks to Dr. Vishagalakshmi, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Hima, and therapist Seema, Greeshma for the lovely care and support.

My immeasurable gratitude to all who helped me, supported me, and guided me on this path whose name is Ayurveda. Ayurveda is the very translation of the great Mother Nature, with her laws that we often do not understand. You will reap what is planted, and here, I could see that what is planted is good. So for 22 days, I received the best with a lot of work, dedication and love! They strove to do their best and provide healing, well-being and therapies, starting with the place with its natural and architectural beauty, its energy of good vibrations and peace, also the accommodations, always favouring comfort and through their large windows and doors, contact with Nature, could hear birds and even receive the visits of peacocks that move freely… Blessed rain that satiated the thirst of all creation; there came meals, always nutritious, colourful and tasty; procedures, massages, herbal medicines, medicated oils; prayers, group activities… So holistically, this offers us the cure we seek so much: physical, mental and spiritual. Gratitude to the therapists of Vaidya 5 for your important work. Gratitude to the Vaidya 4 staff who attended to my room, and thank you, Vijitha and Abhi, for the massages before bed. And finally, my gratitude and admiration to my doctors: Dr. Anagha and Dr. Shreya (initially) and Dr. Om Prakash and Dr. Anupama for their patience in understanding my poor English, for their lovingness and competence in conducting my treatment. And gratitude to Aparna Sarma, where it all began… I hope to see you again next season!

Thank you all. This is my 2nd time at Vaidyagrama. I am under the care of Dr. Harikrishnan, who listened to my condition and treated me. Dr. Vishagalakshmi, who is taking care of my treatment process, is very caring and supportive. Therapist was equally good and provided very much comfort during treatment. I have seen significant improvement in my health. I would highly recommend this place.

I read online that Vaidyagrama is like a family, and I truly experienced that with the amazing staff and doctors at Illam 8. Shyne, Arya and Darshana were incredibly dedicated therapists who provided treatments, medicines, and food with great care. A special shoutout to Jagadeeswari Akka, who kept my room extremely well-maintained. During my three-week stay, I did feel at times that the doctors at my Illam were changing frequently. However, once Dr. Anagha and Dr. Kavya stepped in, I felt at ease. It would be appreciated if this aspect could be managed better, as I found myself repeating my symptoms to at least four to five doctors. The community is warm and engaging yet also provides space to rest—kudos to the team managing this aspect! It's a wonderful concept, and very well implemented. I feel rejuvenated after my 21 days here. I understand now that it’s more than just treatment—it’s about living an Ayurvedic life. I'm sure the real changes and effects will become even more evident in the coming days once I’m back home. Dr. Omprakash was able to understand my symptoms thoroughly and was very attentive in his interactions. Thanks to him, I feel well treated. That said, I didn’t feel I was educated enough by Vaidyagrama about which doctor specializes in which area of treatment. I wondered how knowledge flows within the hospital’s doctor network. I’ld recommend that this be addressed during the online consultation phase. While I have no complaints about Dr. Omprakash—he was excellent—I would’ve appreciated knowing his specialization before being assigned to him, just to stay informed. The food wasn’t bad at all, unlike what some other Indian patients said—ha-ha, I liked it! I would recommend Vaidyagrama (I already have!) and would love to stay a part of this wonderful family.

To the Vaidyagrama team! In the last two and a half years, I was trying to switch to vegetarian food and had issues with low iron, low blood pressure, and low energy. I even tried vegan and raw food at times. Until my friend mentioned doshas, then I realised I had to eat warm food, drink warm water. And even then, I had low iron, low blood pressure and tiredness. To my surprise, I discovered that those are side effects of cleansing the body according to the Ayurveda lifestyle. This gave me reassurance of the right path. And here I was able to create a routine, understand doshas, and carry on in my lifestyle. I am so grateful to have been here; the doctors are amazing. I hope I can conceive; we've been trying to have a baby for many years. I am hoping to bring my husband here. I am planning to come next year if God allows. I really enjoyed my stay here, listening to kirtan and temple prayers, to the sound of the Lord and the rain. I was able to connect to my roots as my grandmother used to take care of the cow, reminding me of my childhood. Thank you, Vaidyagrama team, I already miss you!

Staff were polite and understood the patients’ problems. Food provided was healthy and balanced. Divine power in your Vaidyagrama made me more relaxed. Your valuable contribution to patient care made me feel like a family. I spent 25 days in Vaidyagrama and felt better after treatment provided here. A special thanks to Dr Ramada’s Sir, Dr. Omprakash Sir, Dr. Sisira, Dr. Renjisha, and Dr. Sreya. A great thanks to the whole Vaidyagrama and its team for providing love, care and support.

We arrived here following our daughter’s recommendation, with minimum knowledge about the place. We found a beautiful, clean, well-organized and architecturally beautifully designed space. One month isolated from the external world, which helped us calm down, reading much more than we do at home, feeling that the whole process helps us to cure. We would like to thank the committed and efficient staff. Special thanks to Dr. Hari Kumar and marvellous Dr. Rose who answered all our questions and explained in detail everything we asked. The full program with the lectures and talks with the doctors, the cooking class and all other activities were excellent, helping us understand Ayurveda principles better. Thanks to the devoted workers of this place, who were doing the treatments, cleaning the room, taking laundry and bringing it back clean and smelly. Thank you!

I am very grateful for the amazing time of healing that I have received here. The staff members are amazing, loving and caring. I felt so much love and connection to everybody who took care of me. The treatments were not easy sometimes, and my Pitta was very hard to reduce, but in the end, I felt so much shift in me, a positive change in my mood, and the removal of old stress.
Special thanks to Doctors Pavitra and Harikumar for the real care, attention, love, and for fulfilling every small request or need. May Vaidyagrama grow and prosper. May more people come and heal.

I really appreciate such great care. At home, I must prepare Ayurvedic food, so I know how much time and care it needs. Thank you also for allowing our group to do Om chanting and sing the divine mantra Sri Vitthala Giridhan Parabrahmane Namah.

In the Sanatana tradition, it is said that matches for marriages are made in heaven, but little did we realise that this principle applied to other areas of life too. Looking back now, I recall just 15 days ago what our life circumstances were. My wife’s recent bereavement and the need to find peace and quiet. Her issues of vertigo and ringing in the ears, my long-standing issues of prostate and constant neck pain, are looking for a solution. I could go on, but out of the blue, one name emerged: Vaidyagrama. And suddenly everything started falling into place. My daughter, thanks to her studies in Ayurveda, was the one who introduced us to this village of Vaidyas and made all the arrangements for our one-week visit and treatment with just a few phone calls. Thus, we arrived at this grama without much ado and from the time we exited Coimbatore airport to be received by a well-written placard & a polite chauffeur arranged by Vaidyagrama to the time we departed (again through Vaidyagrama facilitated taxi), it was a blissful space of seven days and months.
At every part of our stay, it was clear that a very deep and well-thought out plan and SOP was in place and executed equally well by motivated trained doctors and staff executing them to a T. Whilst there were innumerable aspects to land, some clear standouts were: a beautiful self-contained and furnished, spacious accommodation; the unique SOP of everything, starting from the doctors, timely medicines, food, all being served in the room itself; despite the April summer, the covered walkways, trees and greenery all around hardly made one feel the heat; even the special treatments (oil massages) being done within the Ilam itself.
The brilliant aspect of worship before commencement of each treatment signifying the innate beliefs of the Sanatana Dharma that ultimately Ishwara’s grace is what cures; the simple but sattvic and sumptuous vegetarian food; the regular pooja in the two temples of Dhanwantari and Lord Shiva; the blissful morning prayer sessions; the all-round smiling and courteous service showcasing a highly motivated team executing their Swadharma; the unbelievable extent and painstaking details that have been gone into to align with nature in all spheres; the orientation tour clearly revealing the deep-set beliefs of seva bhavana of the founders and their crystallized actions to develop the community of 15 or so villages around them. I could go on, but as they say, even a thousand more words may not do proper justice. The repeated visits of foreign clients especially from foreign shores say it all. Thank you, Vaidyagrama. Along with repairing and cleaning our bodies and minds, you have touched our atma.

Hare Krishna! Great experience, we felt at home, and what was special for us was the friendly approach of all the staff. We discovered deep friendship with Dr. Om, Dr. Pavithra, Dr. Ramkumar, the healers, Sathish, Surya and the ladies. This friendship allowed us to stay put and not escape when it became tough. We feel now part of your family and Vision, and we shall return for more healing in the future.
Anyway, Lord Krishna sent us here for a reason, as He promises in the Bhagavad Gita 9.22: “Yoga Kshemam Vamyaham”: He takes personal care of His devotees. We also enjoyed the cows, the cleanliness, the lectures and the food. We felt we could answer any issue. If some bitter taste was to be considered, it was our placement in our first room, which was too hot and smelly, with no view. We spent a week or so there (10 days), not knowing that the other housing is homelier and cooler. I would expect that you would allow me to choose my own accommodation, and the second home we stayed in was much better, so why suffer for a week…
Thank you. Hare Krishna!

It was very nice to be here with all the possibilities you have here, like prayers, lectures, and all the programs like Satsang. It was also a nice idea that the guest planted a tree, and I appreciate this very much. Thank you to everybody with whom I interacted for care and kindness.

A big thank you to everyone at Vaidyagrama. While I’ve been wanting to come here for several years now, I finally got the opportunity this year. Dr. Ramanandan was wonderful. His quiet and contemplative nature, together with the strictness, is very reassuring. I loved that all the doctors on my team had time to spend with me, and I never felt rushed. Dr. Ardent, Dr. Rose, and Dr. Haneena were all wonderful. Beena was great, taking care of my comfort during and after treatment. Unnimaya, Arunima, Prema, and all the other therapists in my team were also wonderful. Special thanks to Vasantha, who cleaned my room and always had a smile and a kind word. The doctors each come with their own experience and views, and while the underlying thread with Ayurveda is the same, it was very interesting to learn perspectives during the afternoon talks. A few friends will be coming here over the next weeks and months. I have only great things to say about Vaidyagrama. Organising the entire operation to run so well is an amazing feat. There are no compromises anywhere, but nothing here is inflexible. I hope to return next year. A couple of suggestions: Therapist aprons are the disposable, non-woven kind. Those are not good for the environment and typically show high levels of lead, if it is the same material. Please consider a bank of lockers by the reception/admin building for patient use for valuables we may not need during treatment, but are travelling with.

My third time here, and it always feels like coming back home. I am always happy to come here and sad to leave. Dr. Dhanya is the sweetest. Dr. Vishaga and Dr. Shyam as well. Therapists like Lakshmi and Aneesha make the stay extra special. I am sad to say the hygiene levels are not as good as they used to be. My suggestion would be that the treatment room toilet be thoroughly cleaned after every patient uses it. The cleaning of the attached bathrooms can also be better. Some of the newer therapists who come trained from elsewhere should be given training on how things are done at Vaidyagrama. There is a stark difference between those trained here and those who come from outside training. One more suggestion would be to please change the bottles for water. Half of them are very old and damaged from the inside. Also, please clean the water bottles between uses and the glasses in the room as well. Thank you to the rest of the staff as well for always making the stay so comfortable.

This is probably the most carefully planned healing space where body, mind, and soul are nurtured with love and care by all doctors, therapists, cleaning staff, cooking staff, receptionists, not to mention the watchmen and technical team. The essence of Vaidyagrama, as I have experienced it, has been to cure the spirit, calm the soul, and heal the root of the issue, finally the body. Such meticulous care throughout this healing journey has been provided by my main doctor, Dr. Ramanandan, who listens attentively and then quietly prescribes solutions to an amazingly efficient, sweet-natured, loving, ever-smiling team, including the group therapists Aditya Bala and Karthika, who have made each treatment so much fun and nurturing. From not being able to walk much and stiffness from pain for over a year, being overweight, and extremely stressed out, I am feeling lighter in heart, body, and soul. Pain is gone, and my will to take on the world is back. Thank you Dr. Ramkumar, and the team of doctors for creating a heaven for those seeking solutions. Thinking of every little detail—the growing medicinal plants, purifying the air, buildings that retain the old-world charm but are up to date in activities. A spiritual environment where one can sit, meditate, chant, pray, and do pooja for loved ones. Illuminating satsangs where we are educated about various aspects of Ayurveda and treatments. Being with nature has a special charm, not to mention food that is so sattvic and specially designed to calm the doshas and soul. Love that you are constantly evolving, now coming up with a retirement home project (already in place, I believe). The peace I have felt here, reconnecting with my true self and getting grounded, recharged, and healed, has been truly magical. Thank you all for keeping the essence of Ayurveda alive and for preserving the goodness that is latent in all mankind. This is one of the most positive healing centres all must experience in their lifetime. Every human has a time when life pace gets them down and they look for solutions. Come to Vaidyagrama, I would say. Thank you from the depth of my soul. Love the work being done. Kudos to the entire team.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, We are so grateful for everything you all have done for us. We woke up to the sounds of birds, peacocks and cows. You created a beautiful environment and space for healing. Dr. Hima is amazing and took such good care of us, and Dr. Vinod is an endless source of information, so helpful and simply an incredible doctor to help us. So thankful to all the therapists, they are so caring and accommodating.
Forever grateful for them and really looking forward to moving on with Vaidyagrama taking care of our health needs. Our only suggestion would be to advise patients in advance to prepare with luggage space for medicine. Thank you so much!

In awe of the level of professionalism across the entire Vaidyagrama community—from doctors to cleaners, gardeners to receptionists. I was inspired and fascinated by the scope of the work, the outreach, and the Vision that embraces the whole community, with even more plans still in the pipeline, priceless. The satsangs and talks were truly enriching. I felt I was able to learn a lot, not just from them but also from the insightful Q&A sessions with the doctors. My gratitude.
Therapists Manju ji and Bhavya ji were the very definition of warmth and kindness, always smiling. All the therapists were incredibly caring, especially important when one is feeling their most vulnerable. I felt truly blessed to have Dr. Harikrishnan as my doctor. I had complete confidence in him. While the twice-daily doctor visits are essential, I would suggest considering a way to reduce other room visits, though I understand this may be difficult.
During the first few days, I was constantly being woken up from feverish sleep with repeated "Excuse me, madam"—only to find it was for laundry, room cleaning, tea, a meal, or a kashayam. Once these things started being placed in the room quietly, without loudly announcing their arrival, it felt respectful. I hope other guests are not similarly startled out of their rest.
Love is at the heart of all that you do at Vaidyagrama, and what you are doing here is truly exceptional.
With gratitude,

Hare Krishna. God bless you. Thanks, everyone, for the best and super treatments. Really, the way the Vaidyagrama team treats guests is amazing. Doctors are highly educated, humble, responsible and dynamic. This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama. I felt so happy and good. Love to come again and again.
Cleanliness, food, treatments, timings and atmosphere are awesome. God bless everyone. Thanks, Dr. Pavithra ji, Dr. Ramadas ji and Dr. Sajna ji. All the doctors who conducted classes. Receptionists are so humble, loving, impressive and caring. This is the quality of Vaidyagrama. Doctors give so much attention to everyone beyond their duty timings. Beautiful female doctors. They just want to make sure we are happy. Thanks. God bless you. See you soon. My therapists, Anu, Jyotika, and Praveena, were so nice, hardworking, and humble. God bless them. Grishma did good work. Prayers are amazing. Getting good vibes.

I’m so deeply grateful to have found Vaidyagrama. This place is truly a sanctuary for the mind, body and soul. I love the Vision of Vaidyagrama —Health. The peaceful environment surrounded by Nature and the gentle and cheerful staff created a peaceful space for me to begin my healing journey.
The therapists Beena, Prema and Unnimaya were sincere, always making me comfortable and cared for me with kindness. A special thank you to Dr. Vinod for his deep expertise, empathy and for patiently helping me understand my body and the treatment. I also want to thank Dr. Haneena and Dr. Shreya for their support and the rightful care.
Being here not only supported my physical healing but also helped me somewhat with my spiritual side—something I hadn’t expected but now deeply cherish.

Thank you, girls—you both bring so much love, warmth, life and positivity to Vaidyagrama. Special thanks to Aneesha—the best abhyanga ever. It’s been an interesting stay, and I’m sure I will continue to unpack and process all of it in the coming months, through my home care and Dinacharya. I am truly thankful and appreciative of the experience. Wishing health and happiness to you all.

From the incredibly thoughtful doctors to the amazing therapeutic administrators to the wonderful helpers who make the entire campus clean and beautiful, to the wonderful gardeners, cooks and administrative staff— Everyone makes this place a warm, hospitable and thoughtful stay for all of us.
I especially appreciated the talks, garden walk, Yoga Nidra, and all the daily offerings on campus. The food has been sumptuous. I can’t wait to go back and share my experience with loved ones, though I will miss all the warm smiling faces of Vaidyagrama. I do hope to come back sometime in the future.

This is my fourth stay in Vaidyagrama, so coming here is like coming home. In an often-chaotic country, Vaidyagrama is not only an island of calm but also of quiet efficiency. I think I have learned a lot, firstly from the treatment this time. The new thing for me was learning to eat in a completely different way. Dr. Ramaprasad, Dr. Ramanandan, and my doctor Dr. Harikrishnan, gave me a lot of advice and guidance on a new way of eating and the importance of exercise. I will try to stick to it.

Though we met halfway through the treatment, Dr. Prameela quickly adjusted to us. Every question was answered patiently. The atmosphere was very homely, and she has a caring and knowledgeable personality. Thank you for your time. The food was healthy, tasty and less spicy—I will try to cook the same at home. Thanks to all the therapists—Dr. Dhanya, Dr. Anagha, Dr. Vishaga, and Dr. Renjisha. My therapists, Lakshmi, Prajisha and Aneesha, took utmost care to make me comfortable and gave their best.
Thanks to Dr. Ramanandan for the exceptional care he provided.

I really enjoyed my 21-day stay at Vaidyagrama. In the beginning, it was a little hard for me to adjust initially, but after a few days and going through the treatments, I gradually got accustomed to this way of living. I thank Vaidyagrama for providing such a nurturing environment. My gratitude to all the therapists who supported me during the therapies—Mr. Biju, Mr. Satish and Mr. Ratheesh. Thank you.

My stay at Vaidyagrama has been a profound and deeply restorative experience. Immersed in the serene healing of traditional Ayurveda, I found a space that honoured healing at every level— mind, body and spirit. One of the most significant parts of my treatment was undergoing Vasti therapy. It was intense, both physically and emotionally, yet I was continuously supported by the caring hands and compassionate presence of the therapists. The girls created an environment of trust and safety, allowing me to fully surrender to the process. Equally transformative was the spiritual guidance I received from Dr. Harikumar. His wisdom went beyond medicine, offering insights during our one-on-one sessions that I consider spiritual teachings—lessons I will carry with me long after I return home. His calm demeanour and intuitive understanding of deeper healing offered me a perspective on life that is both grounding and elevating. Vaidyagrama is not just a place for physical rejuvenation— It is a sanctuary where ancient wisdom is lived, and where healing is embraced as a sacred journey.
Love and light,

Dear Vaidyagrama family, I am K. Ramaprasad from Nelamangala, Bengaluru. I came here for treatment along with my wife Sudha Ramaprasad on the afternoon of 16th of April. What struck us was the nice reception and the grand ambience, tucked away from the bustling Coimbatore city. It is situated in natural surroundings with a lovely touch of aesthetic building structures made of natural resources.

To the Vaidyagrama team, we came here on the 16th of April with a lot of hope. Dr. Vineesh very patiently gathered our medical history in detail. Dr. Vinod explained the treatment protocol. As the treatment progressed, Dr. Vinod and Dr. Pavithra explained that things could worsen before they started improving—and they did. There were lots of ups and downs during the two weeks of treatment. Through all this, Dr. Vinod and Dr. Mojin were steady anchors. They were ready with medicines and comforting advice when there were unexpected issues. We absolutely loved the gentle and caring treatment given by the therapists. All the staff, especially the housekeeper, were very friendly and caring. There are areas that could be improved:
a. There was a lack of clarity regarding treatment cost, accommodation etc. The front office needs to be more upfront and transparent.
b. I could not adjust to the bland diet food provided. Although we liked this place very much, this could discourage a repeat visit.
c. We could not attend any of the daily lectures because it was too painful for me to walk to the Mandapam, and treatment schedules sometimes clashed.
d. While we appreciate Nature and believe we should co-exist with other creatures in our environment, we are not yet spiritually advanced enough to cohabitate with mosquitoes and cockroaches.
To sum up, we really appreciate the round-the-clock care provided by the doctors and therapists. Our good wishes to the Vaidyagrama team for continued success in their Mission!

Thank you very much to all the doctors and staff. Vaidyagrama is a very peaceful place. This is my first visit to this place. This is truly a healing place. Doctors are very kind and very intelligent. They give you time. They listen to you and change treatment according to the requirements. All the staff and therapists are very kind and happy in nature. They make you feel comfortable and welcome. All satsangs are very informative. I enjoyed all my days here. Thank you.

Namaste Ji, A big thank you to the Vaidyagrama family.
The last 22 days have been an eye-opener, which made me realise how I have abused my physical and mental self. Staying here has taught me simplicity in life, being humble, being cheerful. It has made me realise that I can live without gadgets and be happy with myself. Happiness needs to come from within us.
Special thanks to the Doctors, Dr Vinod, Dr Megha, Dr Arun, who have patiently listened and addressed my questions. I need to use this platform to extend my thanks to Silpa, Anju, Ebison, Shyni, and Athira, who have played a major role along with the doctors in my journey. Thanks to Maheswari, the housekeeping staff. I pray for the good health of all the members of the Vaidyagrama family.
The satsangs have been informative and have helped us to stay awake during the daytime.
Just a suggestion, I agree the food needs to be bland to help in the treatment, but it can be made a bit more interesting.
Thanks again

Thank you to the entire Vaidyagrama team for such a wonderful introductory few days in the world of Ayurveda and healing. It was a truly inspirational week, and I can’t wait to come back for the full 21 days…already plotting! The attention from all the people of Vaidyagrama is unique. The doctors, the medical officers, the wonderful women delivering my treatments, the cleaners, the cooks! It’s really something else. I was able to really slow down and step into the world of “non-doing” – something I really struggle with. Thank you for making it all possible. Also amazing to see all the staff engagement in their own activities – Sports day, Mandala competition. So great… Thanks!

Everyone here is kind and helpful. The activities and Pandit ji were great, and the lectures were some of my favourites. Thank you again to all for making my stay comfortable and successful.

Vaidyagrama teaches one to go back to the basics and become strong from within. This serene and peaceful place taught me to learn to be comfortable with myself. The constant endeavor to keep the place neat, the care shown by the therapists, the follow-up by the doctors, the spiritual practices of chanting Vishnu Sahasranamam in the morning and Lalitha Sahasranamam in the evening were the highlights along with the sattva diet. I am so glad that Dr Ramkumar pursued Ayurveda. He was brilliant and class topper in school, could have taken any subject and excelled. Grateful to Dr Ramanandan for his patience and utmost care.
Thank you.

My stay at Vaidyagrama has been fulfilling. The treatments were excellent—my diabetes is under control, and the arthritis pain has significantly reduced. All the doctors were exceptionally considerate, friendly and family-like—Dr. Vinod, Dr. Anagha, Dr. Renjisha and Dr. Kavya. God bless them all.
The staff have been punctual, cheerful, and always willing to go the extra mile when needed. I am truly grateful to them—Arya, Shyni, Darshana and others.
The food, though bland and repetitive, is clearly part of the treatment. We are unlikely to eat gourd vegetables again when we visit Varanasi! However, I understand that the diet is therapeutic and should be followed with care.
The setting and location of the place are pleasing, though the heat has been unbearable—I suppose we came at the wrong time.

Special thanks to Dr. Vinod and Dr. Megha, also Dr. Arun, who answered all my questions and took good care of me. Special thanks to the Therapists. Shilpa, Anju and the team and Maheshwari.

Dear God and Vaidyagrama family,
I write this gratitude message for the amazing work you have done and yet continue to do for eternity.
I complained about the food at home, yet enjoyed the meals. Every time I prayed, I wished there was a sweet surprise. I complained about being busy, yet I enjoyed the "ME" time, learning to enjoy myself. I had 36 hours daily to spend.
I looked up to my mind, body and soul and realised healing the mind heals the body itself.
To the beautiful Vaidyas and Therapists – a big salute.
At no point have falls brought a frown – it has always been smiles and smiles. This journey is going to continue in the coming years.
Until then,
Son and Mom
With lots of love,

We came to Vaidyagrama to cleanse, detox and reset our bodies. Having undergone gallbladder removal and dealing with diabetes-related issues, respectively, our goal was to bring balance and healing.
We arrived late in the evening and were immediately taken aback by the peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are designed with just the right amount of amenities. Free from the usual hustle and bustle, we were able to stay calm and reflect on ourselves, gaining better insight into our bodies due to the thoughtful layout and design.
Despite the summer heat, we spent most of our time in the sit-out area, watching birds searching for food, squirrels running up trees, leaves dancing in the wind, a cat taking over our neighbour’s balcony bed, and of course, the peacocks.
We sincerely thank the entire team of doctors, therapists and housekeeping staff for their attentive, caring and helpful approach throughout our treatment. Special thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan for the short yet effective one-on-one sessions. He provided deep insights, practical knowledge, and useful tools to take care of our bodies. Thanks also to Dr. Pramila for her patience in answering our doubts and elaborating on the tools provided.
We are grateful to the therapists—Lakshmi Amma, Vinod, Anisha, and many others—for their hard work and dedication in setting our bodies on the right track.
The satsangs further enriched our experience, offering spiritual and holistic insights. Sessions by Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Hari Kumar, Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Ram Kumar, and Dr. Vinod helped bind the entire experience together deepening our understanding of the connection between body, mind and spirituality.
This journey allowed us to pause from our usual fast-paced lives and truly reflect inward. Thank you very much.

Dear Dr. Ramanandan, team of physicians – Dr. Ardent, Dr. Rose & Dr. Sreya, and the entire team of dedicated therapists & other staff. Returning to Vaidyagrama for my second 12-day treatment has once again been a deeply nourishing and transformative experience!
The holistic approach to healing, the serene environment, and the unwavering commitment of everyone here truly set it apart. Dr. Ramanandan – Your expertise, insightful guidance and compassionate care have been truly remarkable! I am so grateful for your personalized attention and the positive energy that you brought throughout my treatment. Also thankful to Dr. Rose for her kindness & genuine care that she brought in. To Dr. Ardent & Dr. Sreya – thank you for taking care & stepping in whenever your help/support was needed. Enjoyed interacting with both of you.
The sessions on many facets of Ayurveda & holistic approach to healing were very insightful – I managed to learn so much from Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Ardent, among others.
What impresses me the most is the overall warmth and supportive atmosphere made possible due to amazing therapists, kitchen team, housekeeping, front office & many others. From those attending to the most basic chores to the super skilled therapists – your commitment & pride in your work are truly unbelievable & deeply inspiring. It speaks volumes about the spirit of Vaidyagrama.
May Bhagwan Dhanvantari operate through your hands and words and deeds!!! My sincere thanks for also maintaining amazing temples here. I spent so many hours there – chanting & reflecting & meditating. Once again, my heartfelt gratitude to each & every one of you. Vaidyagrama is more than a hospital; it is a sanctuary of healing & wellbeing. I leave feeling renewed & deeply grateful for the care I received.

To the Vaidyagrama team,
I came to Vaidyagrama this visit weighed down with physical and mental exhaustion. I sought a peaceful and restful break – a respite stops for mind and body – and this I have received. To those on the staff who wash clothes, do gardening, handle housekeeping and cooking – thank you for your service. It has been a true rest knowing these tasks are taken care of. You are very unseen, but I greatly appreciate your diligent work.
To Dr. Pavitra and the team at Illam 10 – on my first day, the doctor said, “We are family for your stay.” That has proven to be so.
I have valued the fun we have had and the care you all take with each task you do. I have caught up on a year's worth of hugs!
Thank you – they were much needed.
I leave with new friends – from patients and staff…

Vaidyagrama is more of a place for a way of life, rejuvenation, peace and tranquillity than an Ayurvedic treatment facility. Indeed, a Village carved out for both clear objectives, serving all in need of guidance to a Healthy Living! What is enviable about this place is a culture that’s nurtured where everyone works with and demonstrates their true sense of belonging. Commendable, extremely unassuming Doctors reassure you, to overcome your wary of your malady with their treasure of knowledge. The entire army of dedicated staff (medical or administrative) makes you feel at home.
An impeccably clean place for turnover of your handles, kudos to all those who keep it going. I’m deliberately not mentioning names of doctors or staff to avoid exhausting the diary with the list!
A first time inmate perhaps would take an oath to come back here soon to enjoy the environment where peacocks religiously come around, enquiring about your well-being, chirping birds wake you up, squirrels squat around you collecting nuts, birds and calves that make you seen around them inviting you to this Nature, cows and of course, those faithful dogs welcome you with wagging tails and curiosity.
Let me confess I fell in love with the place, and for sure, I shall come back!

I would like to thank Vaidyagrama for rebalancing me with such care and attention. I felt like a ship lost at sea—and you were the lighthouse that brought me to safe shores. This place has healed me in ways I didn’t even know I needed.
Moving forward, it’s reassuring to know that this place exists.
Thank you again for your beautiful energy.

Dear Vaidyagrama, Dr. Vinod and team
First of all, I want to say thank you for everything. Everyone here makes me feel so welcome. In the last three weeks, living in an eco-friendly environment, with peaceful, positive staff and good activities, I feel emotionally positive with clarity and a strong mind.
I must admit this is the first time in my life that I feel so comfortable. This is an ideal place for recharging and preventing diseases. I will come back in the future.
Thank you with much gratitude.

I had a truly wonderful experience at Vaidyagrama!
The staff and people were absolutely amazing - so kind, supportive and knowledgeable. I feel refreshed, more balanced and deeply inspired. The results have been positive and I’m excited to continue making lifestyle changes that support my well-being. This center was a powerful step for my journey to better health and a more mindful way of living. I didn’t expect to miss the stay, but I was sad to see people go after treatments, and now here I am on my way. Thank you!

My name is Aadhya. I came here with my mother and father for 21 days. I loved it a lot here, especially because it started raining. Everyone was very nice to me. There are so many varieties of food, plants and insects. I loved the buttermilk and the Rasam most. I saw many snails, millipedes, lizards, spiders in Nature here, and so many beautiful peacocks. My favorite tree was the tamarind tree. Whenever my mother and I went near the Vaidyesvaram hall, she would give me one herb leaf to eat. I had a blast here with my family.

This is my second time here. The last time I came with my husband and daughter (Aadhya), my husband got 21 days of treatment while I got 8 days. This left me unsatisfied, and I was determined to experience 21 days of Panchakarma the next time I visit. I am glad that it was possible this time.
I would like to thank Dr. Ramanandan for his encouraging words and guidance. He is an inspiration, and I feel safe and hopeful about my health. I would also like to thank Dr. Rose, Dr. Ardent & Dr. Sreya, who were patient enough to answer all my doubts, no matter how stupid the questions were. Extending my gratitude to all the therapists for their dedication and other staff for keeping this place pleasant, clean & comfortable. Many times, I would forget that I am a patient here. It's truly a healing place for the body and mind. Leaving this place feeling lighter and better. Will be back again to learn more. Thank you.

Dr. Om Prakash and the entire team of doctors made me feel very cared for. Dr. Om is wonderful to talk to, he listens patiently and has a cheerful, light-hearted way of communicating.
All the therapists and assistant doctors were attentive and caring. This is one of those experiences that will stay with me forever. I only wish I had more time here to complete my treatment. This environment is so different from the busy city life.
I have one small suggestion: perhaps assistant doctors or staff could gather small groups in any balcony, pooja hall, or open area for collective breathwork. This would not only aid treatments but also help form a habit of deeper breathing—benefiting the body and calming the mind. Due to the fatigue from treatments, I missed some of the Yoga Nidra sessions.
I wish the entire team at Vaidyagrama continued success in healing with such care and patience.
Thank you—I look forward to returning someday.

Oh, where do we begin?!
In all honesty, my mother and I came to Vaidyagrama after much procrastination and hesitation. Being professionals accustomed to a heavily stressful and constantly on-the-go lifestyle, we were certainly questioning how we might fit into the routine here at Vaidyagrama. But our scepticism was crushed from the very first day with the care, concern, warmth, and utmost dedication shown by the entire team, including the doctors, housekeeping staff, and even our dear window friend, the lovely peacock.
Today, we feel rather sad that we are going back to the grind, but we know that we will be back soon. We would like to place special appreciation on our team of doctors – Dr. Anupama, Dr. Pavitra, and Dr. Mojin – who were patient and made us feel heard and seen.
Our utmost gratitude to our therapists – Vincy Chechi and Hema Chechi – who are an asset to this institution. Vijitha Chechi, Biju Chettan, and Jyothika Chechi worked several night shifts, and we were so touched by their kindness and hard work. Sandhya Chechi, though part of Illam 10, is an example of camaraderie as she always willingly stepped in to give a helping hand. She is a wonderful and highly skilled therapist, too.
Our love to Krishna, Krishnaveni Amma, for keeping our space clean, and to all the garden staff who always greeted us with a warm smile, making us feel at home. Even the reception staff here bagged a special place in our hearts. Thanks to security guard Mohammad Ali ji for valorously helping me with the lizard situation (lol ).
We could go on and on – but overall, thanks to Vaidyagrama for these 21 days of healing, peace, and tranquillity. We can't wait to come back.
PS. We are going to truly miss Rajamma Patti's company. She's the sweetest. To whoever is reading this, please do not miss greeting the sweet old lady with a walking stick and exchanging a smile. Trust us – her smile will make your day.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
My deepest gratitude to you all for creating an incredible healing space. I feel so held and nurtured by the doctors, therapists, and staff. This experience exceeded any expectations I had.
I feel transformed not only on the physical level but also in understanding Ayurveda more deeply. The space itself has provided a beautiful opportunity to deepen my personal meditation practice as well.
I greatly enjoyed all the lectures, rituals, stargazing and meeting amazing new friends. Thank you, everyone, for your dedication and devotion to what you do.
I am already looking forward to my return.

This is my third time at Vaidyagrama. I enjoy the peaceful and relaxing environment. The therapists are doing a wonderful job. Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Vishakha Lakshmi, and Dr. Renjisha has been very patient and attentive in understanding and treating our health concerns.
This time, I had mixed feelings due to the rainy season. The frog sounds were disturbing in one room, but thankfully, I was able to change rooms.
I appreciate the freshly cooked food tailored to our dietary needs—it greatly supports healing. One kind request: please improve pest control, especially for ants on the bed and cockroaches in the bathroom.
I look forward to returning.
Thank you.

This is my third visit, and each time I discover new aspects of the way of life. This time the visit was sweeter due to the presence of Dr Ardent. He was always pleasant in his approach and was very methodological. Mind is always at peace here, and this visit benefited me the most. Looking forward to continuing the lifestyle that I learnt here even when I resume my city life. Aneesh was very friendly and efficient. Thanks to therapists Kavitha, Bindu and Unnimaya as well.

I am thankful to the entire team—doctors, therapists and all staff—for their motherly care, compassion and loving, polite nature.
Beyond the treatments, the other activities like pujas and lectures kept us engaged, spiritually uplifted, and enriched in knowledge.
One humble request: please address the issue of insects and mosquitoes. Also, kindly request guests to maintain peace—especially by avoiding loud conversations or phone calls, respecting fellow patients' space.
Everything—from Trust to the Vastu, to the environment—is superb.
Thank you once again. May God and Lord Dhanwantari bless you all with love, light and peace.

Thank you very much to all the doctors and staff. Vaidyagrama is a very peaceful place. This is my first visit to this place. This is truly a healing place. Doctors are very kind and very intelligent. They give you time. They listen to you and change treatment according to the requirements. All the staff and therapists are very kind and happy in nature. They make you feel comfortable and welcome. All satsangs are very informative. I enjoyed all my days here. Thank you.

Namaste Ji, A big thank you to the Vaidyagrama family.
The last 22 days have been an eye-opener, which made me realise how I have abused my physical and mental self. Staying here has taught me simplicity in life, being humble, being cheerful. It has made me realise that I can live without gadgets and be happy with myself. Happiness needs to come from within us.
Special thanks to the Doctors, Dr Vinod, Dr Megha, Dr Arun, who have patiently listened and addressed my questions. I need to use this platform to extend my thanks to Silpa, Anju, Ebison, Shyni, and Athira, who have played a major role along with the doctors in my journey. Thanks to Maheswari, the housekeeping staff. I pray for the good health of all the members of the Vaidyagrama family.
The satsangs have been informative and have helped us to stay awake during the daytime.
Just a suggestion, I agree the food needs to be bland to help in the treatment, but it can be made a bit more interesting.
Thanks again

Thank you to the entire Vaidyagrama team for such a wonderful introductory few days in the world of Ayurveda and healing. It was a truly inspirational week, and I can’t wait to come back for the full 21 days…already plotting! The attention from all the people of Vaidyagrama is unique. The doctors, the medical officers, the wonderful women delivering my treatments, the cleaners, the cooks! It’s really something else. I was able to really slow down and step into the world of “non-doing” – something I really struggle with. Thank you for making it all possible. Also amazing to see all the staff engagement in their own activities – Sports day, Mandala competition. So great… Thanks!

Housekeepers and laundry with a sincere smile, wonderful therapists who really care about your health, and wonderful Vaidyas who not only take the time to really get to the crux of the problem, but also smile with you. Everyone here is kind and helpful. The activities and Pandit ji were great, and the lectures were some of my favourites. Thank you again to all for making my stay comfortable and successful.

Vaidyagrama teaches one to go back to the basics and become strong from within. This serene and peaceful place taught me to learn to be comfortable with myself. The constant endeavor to keep the place neat, the care shown by the therapists, the follow-up by the doctors, the spiritual practices of chanting Vishnu Sahasranamam in the morning and Lalitha Sahasranamam in the evening were the highlights along with the sattva diet. I am so glad that Dr Ramkumar pursued Ayurveda. He was brilliant and class topper in school, could have taken any subject and excelled. Grateful to Dr Ramanandan for his patience and utmost care.
Thank you.

My stay at Vaidyagrama has been fulfilling. The treatments were excellent—my diabetes is under control, and the arthritis pain has significantly reduced. All the doctors were exceptionally considerate, friendly and family-like—Dr. Vinod, Dr. Anagha, Dr. Renjisha and Dr. Kavya. God bless them all.
The staff have been punctual, cheerful, and always willing to go the extra mile when needed. I am truly grateful to them—Arya, Shyni, Darshana and others.
The food, though bland and repetitive, is clearly part of the treatment. We are unlikely to eat gourd vegetables again when we visit Varanasi! However, I understand that the diet is therapeutic and should be followed with care.
The setting and location of the place are pleasing, though the heat has been unbearable—I suppose we came at the wrong time.

Thank you so much for all the care and support that I received during my 2 weeks’ treatment. It was my first time and certainly not the last. I learned a lot during my stay, and everyone is so nice and helpful. I like the quiet and serenity of the place, and the food as well. Special thanks to Dr. Vinod and Dr. Megha, also Dr. Arun, who answered all my questions and took good care of me. Special thanks to the Therapists. Shilpa, Anju and the team and Maheshwari.

Dear Vaidyagrama family!
We are so grateful for everything you all have done for us.
We loved waking up to the sounds of birds, peacocks and cows. You created a beautiful environment and space for healing.
Dr. Hima is amazing and took such good care of us, Dr. Vinod is an endless source of information, so helpful and simply an incredible doctor to help you. So thankful to all the therapists, they’re so caring and accommodating. I am forever grateful to Vaidyagrama and really looking forward to moving on with Vaidyagrama taking care of our health needs. Our only suggestion would be to advise patients in advance to prepare with luggage space for medicine.
Thank you and all our love to the entire Vaidyagrama family.

This place is a true oasis, allowing me to focus on my physical, mental and emotional health, all while keeping food at the center. I appreciated the ability to ask questions and learn about fundamentals of Ayurveda while receiving treatment. I look forward to applying these learnings in my daily life.

Dear God and Vaidyagrama family,
I write this gratitude message for the amazing work you have done and yet continue to do for eternity.
I complained about the food at home, yet enjoyed the meals. Every time I prayed, I wished there was a sweet surprise. I complained about being busy, yet I enjoyed the "ME" time, learning to enjoy myself. I had 36 hours daily to spend.
I looked up to my mind, body and soul and realised healing the mind heals the body itself.
To the beautiful Vaidyas and Therapists – a big salute.
At no point have falls brought a frown – it has always been smiles and smiles. This journey is going to continue in the coming years.
Until then,
Son and Mom
With lots of love,
Dr. K. Puveearasan

We came to Vaidyagrama to cleanse, detox and reset our bodies. Having undergone gallbladder removal and dealing with diabetes-related issues, respectively, our goal was to bring balance and healing.
We arrived late in the evening and were immediately taken aback by the peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are designed with just the right amount of amenities. Free from the usual hustle and bustle, we were able to stay calm and reflect on ourselves, gaining better insight into our bodies due to the thoughtful layout and design.
Despite the summer heat, we spent most of our time in the sit-out area, watching birds searching for food, squirrels running up trees, leaves dancing in the wind, a cat taking over our neighbour’s balcony bed, and of course, the peacocks.
We sincerely thank the entire team of doctors, therapists and housekeeping staff for their attentive, caring and helpful approach throughout our treatment. Special thanks to Dr. Harikrishnan for the short yet effective one-on-one sessions. He provided deep insights, practical knowledge, and useful tools to take care of our bodies. Thanks also to Dr. Pramila for her patience in answering our doubts and elaborating on the tools provided.
We are grateful to the therapists—Lakshmi Amma, Vinod, Anisha, and many others—for their hard work and dedication in setting our bodies on the right track.
The satsangs further enriched our experience, offering spiritual and holistic insights. Sessions by Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Hari Kumar, Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Ram Kumar, and Dr. Vinod helped bind the entire experience together deepening our understanding of the connection between body, mind and spirituality.
This journey allowed us to pause from our usual fast-paced lives and truly reflect inward. Thank you very much.

Dear Dr. Ramanandan, team of physicians – Dr. Ardent, Dr. Rose & Dr. Sreya, and the entire team of dedicated therapists & other staff. Returning to Vaidyagrama for my second 12-day treatment has once again been a deeply nourishing and transformative experience!
The holistic approach to healing, the serene environment, and the unwavering commitment of everyone here truly set it apart. Dr. Ramanandan – Your expertise, insightful guidance and compassionate care have been truly remarkable! I am so grateful for your personalized attention and the positive energy that you brought throughout my treatment. Also thankful to Dr. Rose for her kindness & genuine care that she brought in. To Dr. Ardent & Dr. Sreya – thank you for taking care & stepping in whenever your help/support was needed. Enjoyed interacting with both of you.
The sessions on many facets of Ayurveda & holistic approach to healing were very insightful – I managed to learn so much from Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Ardent, among others.
What impresses me the most is the overall warmth and supportive atmosphere made possible due to amazing therapists, kitchen team, housekeeping, front office & many others. From those attending to the most basic chores to the super skilled therapists – your commitment & pride in your work are truly unbelievable & deeply inspiring. It speaks volumes about the spirit of Vaidyagrama.
May Bhagwan Dhanvantari operate through your hands and words and deeds!!! My sincere thanks for also maintaining amazing temples here. I spent so many hours there – chanting & reflecting & meditating. Once again, my heartfelt gratitude to each & every one of you. Vaidyagrama is more than a hospital; it is a sanctuary of healing & wellbeing. I leave feeling renewed & deeply grateful for the care I received.

To the Vaidyagrama team,
I came to Vaidyagrama this visit weighed down with physical and mental exhaustion. I sought a peaceful and restful break – a respite stops for mind and body – and this I have received. To those on the staff who wash clothes, do gardening, handle housekeeping and cooking – thank you for your service. It has been a true rest knowing these tasks are taken care of. You are very unseen, but I greatly appreciate your diligent work.
To Dr. Pavitra and the team at Illam 10 – on my first day, the doctor said, “We are family for your stay.” That has proven to be so.
I have valued the fun we have had and the care you all take with each task you do. I have caught up on a year's worth of hugs!
Thank you – they were much needed.
I leave with new friends – from patients and staff…

Vaidyagrama is more of a place for a way of life, rejuvenation, peace and tranquillity than an Ayurvedic treatment facility. Indeed, a Village carved out for both clear objectives, serving all in need of guidance to a Healthy Living! What is enviable about this place is a culture that’s nurtured where everyone works with and demonstrates their true sense of belonging. Commendable, extremely unassuming Doctors reassure you, to overcome your wary of your malady with their treasure of knowledge. The entire army of dedicated staff (medical or administrative) makes you feel at home.
An impeccably clean place for turnover of your handles, kudos to all those who keep it going. I’m deliberately not mentioning names of doctors or staff to avoid exhausting the diary with the list!
A first time inmate perhaps would take an oath to come back here soon to enjoy the environment where peacocks religiously come around, enquiring about your well-being, chirping birds wake you up, squirrels squat around you collecting nuts, birds and calves that make you seen around them inviting you to this Nature, cows and of course, those faithful dogs welcome you with wagging tails and curiosity.
Let me confess I fell in love with the place, and for sure, I shall come back!

This is my third time at Vaidyagrama. I enjoy the peaceful and relaxing environment. The therapists are doing a wonderful job. Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Vishakha Lakshmi, and Dr. Renjisha has been very patient and attentive in understanding and treating our health concerns.
This time, I had mixed feelings due to the rainy season. The frog sounds were disturbing in one room, but thankfully, I was able to change rooms.
I appreciate the freshly cooked food tailored to our dietary needs—it greatly supports healing. One kind request: please improve pest control, especially for ants on the bed and cockroaches in the bathroom.
I look forward to returning.
Thank you.

This is my second time visiting Vaidyagrama. When I visited last year around the same time, I decided I had to return every year for the wellness I receive after staying here. The staff, as usual, are very efficient and helpful.
I wish them all the very good and best.

This is my third visit, and each time I discover new aspects of the way of life. This time the visit was sweeter due to the presence of Dr Ardent. He was always pleasant in his approach and was very methodological. Mind is always at peace here, and this visit benefited me the most. Looking forward to continuing the lifestyle that I learnt here even when I resume my city life. Aneesh was very friendly and efficient. Thanks to therapists Kavitha, Bindu and Unnimaya as well.

I am thankful to the entire team—doctors, therapists and all staff—for their motherly care, compassion and loving, polite nature.
Beyond the treatments, the other activities like pujas and lectures kept us engaged, spiritually uplifted, and enriched in knowledge.
One humble request: please address the issue of insects and mosquitoes. Also, kindly request guests to maintain peace—especially by avoiding loud conversations or phone calls, respecting fellow patients' space.
Everything—from Trust to the Vastu, to the environment—is superb.
Thank you once again. May God and Lord Dhanwantari bless you all with love, light and peace.

Thanks to Dr. Ramanandan for addressing the root of the health problem, which helped resolve everything. Dr. Ardent, Dr. Rose and Dr. Sreya were all kind and patient. Thanks to each and every one who made my stay so pleasant.

My 21-day Panchakarma journey: A truly rejuvenating experience!
My recent 21-day Ayurveda Panchakarma treatment was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment I arrived, the ambience of the centre was incredibly welcoming and soothing, immediately putting me at ease. It felt less like a medical facility and more like a serene retreat.
The core of my experience was, of course, the Panchakarma treatment itself, which was administered with utmost precision and care. I was under the expert guidance of Dr. Harikumar, the medical Director, whose vision truly shapes the experience. His leadership is complemented beautifully by Dr. Anupama and Dr. Pavithra, who contributed significantly to my treatment plan and well-being. Their combined expertise and compassionate approach made a profound difference. I also had positive interactions with Dr. Mojin. What truly set this experience apart was the extraordinary dedication of the entire medical team.
The doctors, especially Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Anupama and Dr. Pavithra, exhibited an incredible level of patience. They took the time to explain every detail, ensuring I understood each step of my treatment. This made me feel completely comfortable and informed, never once like I was in a hospital. Their friendly demeanour and genuine guidance made us feel more like friends or family, something I have rarely encountered elsewhere.
My heartfelt salutations to the entire doctors, team for creating such a supportive and homely atmosphere. Equally deserving of immense praise are the therapists who administered daily treatments. Hema, Sandhya, Vincy and Vijitha were exemplary. They were incredibly skilled and, more importantly, ensured my maximum comfort throughout every session. Their dedication and attentiveness were truly remarkable.
A special heartfelt thanks goes to Hema and Vijitha; I can feel the motherly care in Hema’s treatments and Vijitha, who went above and beyond by specially and specifically looking after my dinner most evenings. Although my interactions with Kesiya, Jyotika and Praveena were less frequent, they too gave their best whenever they were present.
Beyond the treatment rooms, the support staff also contributed significantly to my positive experience. Veni from housekeeping was extraordinary; her commitment to neatness and cleanliness was truly appreciated. Biju was consistently helpful, particularly with providing kashayams whenever needed. Even the laundry team's approach and service were commendable.
Overall, this 21-day Panchakarma journey was a deeply enriching and healing experience. The incredible teamwork, from the visionary doctors to the dedicated therapists and supportive staff, made it truly unforgettable. I could recommend this place highly enough to anyone seeking authentic ayurvedic treatment in a nurturing and exceptionally caring environment. “Very Highly Recommended”.
With lots & lots of love, respect and gratitude,

We came to Vaidyagrama primarily for the treatment of my wife, Chetna. We had initially planned to stay for only 14 days; however, seeing the improvement, we decided to extend our stay. It has been a wonderful experience — healing and spiritual. There is a long list of people to thank, but we will stick to the Vaidyagrama ethos that it is a combined effort. So we would like to thank the entire team at Vaidyagrama. You all are doing wonderful work. We are happy to be a part of the Vaidyagrama family!
Thank you all!

Dear Vaidyagrama Family (Dr. Ramadas and team),
At first, thank you very much for your kind hospitality and care. I particularly feel blessed to have chanted every evening during the prayer sessions conducted at Vaidyagrama. The medical process was well explained by the doctors. Thank you also to Dr. Hima. Overall, the healing service was of a high standard. Both of us wish we could have stayed longer—more days or even weeks—but due to our work back home, we are compelled to return after 15 days. We feel nourished in body, mind, and soul. Once again, thank you to all the doctors and therapists.

I really enjoyed my time at Vaidyagrama. I came here to begin the healing process after experiencing high stress from a complicated birth and postpartum period. It was incredible to have the space and time to be alone and to heal. The service was excellent.
There is a strong sense of family, and everyone was very warm and welcoming. The doctors and therapists were all wonderful— I love that you never feel like a burden to anyone, and the entire team is always happy to help. The knowledge shared is exceptional and well communicated.
I’m truly impressed by the community, the dedication to sustainability, and the commitment to giving back to the local community and those in need. I look forward to returning shortly. Thank you.

Our hearts are full of gratitude for you and the entire team who cared for us as if we were your own. A heartfelt thank you to each one of you—especially Greeshma, Seema and Femila—you truly spoiled and pampered my daughter Dia to bits. All of you lovingly became a part of our daily lives. From ensuring we had the right medicines to checking if we were comfortable and indulging Dia in all her requests, it meant the world to us.
It may be your everyday job, but for us, it was nothing short of love in action. Please do share this message with everyone on the team. We are carrying back your kindness, warmth, and care in our hearts.
Just a small piece of feedback: before assigning rooms, please ensure that everything is functioning well, especially in the bathrooms.

Vaidyagrama, you are such a wonderful, special place! During my time here, every tree, every gust of wind, every spray of rain near my window, every expectant meow of the visiting cat, every moo of the cows—my neighbours—all brought me a sense of peaceful joy that we often forget in everyday life. I am ever so grateful for your spirit and energy. It is especially embodied in every person I interacted with here.
Dr. Vinod, Dr. Pavithra and Dr. Anupama, you were ever so patient, ever so pleasant, teaching me while healing me every day. Semeena, your kindness and concern; Sandhya, your empathy and positivity; Anu, your feistiness; Praveena, your care; Jyotika, your quiet efficiency; Devika and Suja, your seamless stepping in and uplifting smiles—all of your energies, especially in your hands, are blessings I am deeply grateful for. Dr. Om Prakash and Dr. Ramadas, your Sahasranama parayanam, along with everything else in your prayer sessions, brought calm and centeredness to my days here. As I return home, I hope to carry on that routine more mindfully. Until next time!
With love and gratitude,

Dear all at Vaidyagrama, I walked in for the first time, alone, not knowing how I would go through the entire process. But to my surprise, the forest village environment had so much energy and peace. The first day was a bit slow, and I wasn’t sure if I could continue. But the next day, Dr. Mojin and Dr. Harikumar were so energetic and kind—they convinced me with their confidence and care, which made me decide to stay.
For the first time, I experienced the true authenticity of Ayurveda here, something I hadn’t found in other places. The therapists and supporting staff were truly amazing, doing their jobs with so much patience and a constant smile. Dr. Pavitra and Dr. Anupama were also excellent. The night duty therapist carried out her responsibilities with both a smile and genuine passion.
Everything in Vaidyagrama is so wonderful that I will surely visit again. Therapists Hema and Bindu gave me such care and attention. Dr. Mojin kept the place lively and energetic, making me feel like I was not in a hospital, but in a second home. Not to forget the timely attention to food and medicines.
Thank you to Dr. Ramkumar and the entire team for creating such a wonderful, simple, and down-to-earth place to heal through Ayurveda. May Vaidyagrama grow beyond all expectations. Thanks to all.

My stay at Vaidyagrama from 01.06.2025 to 19.06.2025 left a deep impression on me due to the excellent services provided by the entire Vaidyagrama team. Their kindness, gentle behaviour, and attention to even the smallest details were remarkable. I was treated by Dr. Ramadas Sir and Dr. Hima, who relieved me of all my physical ailments with care from every perspective. Dr. Hima is meticulous in her explanations, a perfectionist, and cares for me like a mother. I remain deeply grateful to both doctors. During Dr. Hima’s absence, Dr. Renjisha and Dr. Sreeji also provided excellent care. In my life, I have met many doctors, but Dr. Hima and Dr. Ramadas Sir stand out as some of the finest I’ve ever encountered.
The organic food prepared by the Goddess Annapurna-like cooks was exceptional. Greeshma and others were gentle, kind and caring. I may not remember every name, but each member of the serving staff—those who provided water, kashaya, medicines—as well as the therapists and Dr. Om Prakash, were all truly praiseworthy. Their courteous behaviour would impress anyone.
My heartfelt thanks and blessings go to all the staff and doctors at Vaidyagrama. This place feels truly Divine—with the Shiva temple, the beautiful flora and fauna, and the birds singing—it all invokes a deep sense of connection to Divinity. Thank you for everything.

I visited Vaidyagrama for 11 days with a headache. Our beloved Dr. Harikumar Sir explained everything very clearly and patiently. Everyone here—from the reception staff and back-office team to the doctors, therapists and therapists —does their job with sincerity and dedication. I really liked the room atmosphere, the natural surroundings, the puja, the food, the group lunch and the various entertainments. I received excellent treatment, my headache has reduced significantly, and I feel deeply relaxed.
I sincerely thank all the doctors, staff, therapists, duty doctors, food service team and everyone involved. God bless you all. I plan to return with my wife as soon as possible. Once again, my heartfelt thanks to everyone for contributing to my healing.

Dear Vaidyagrama Team, I feel deeply grateful to have found a place like this. Vaidyagrama is truly one of a kind. I always knew that the medicine of Ayurveda is powerful and that it would support my healing, but the true healing essence I’ve found here lies in the sweetness, kindness and care of the people who work here. They are what made Vaidyagrama a home away from home for me—a place where one feels nurtured and safe. A place that feels hard to leave. But I know this is not the last time I’ll be coming here.
I especially want to thank: Dr. Sreya – Thank you for always listening to me and calming me down when I needed it. Dr. Ramanandan – For giving me insight into my emotional world through our conversations and for expanding my perspective on what is required to heal, beyond just the medical. Rajneesh – For encouraging me to sing again. I truly enjoyed our evening kirtans. Kartika & Indu – Thank you for your charming presence, which allowed me to be a child again. Your continuous care meant everything to me.
I will miss you. Dr. Vinod – Thank you for making me laugh, no matter where I was in the process. And thank you to all the rest of the Vaidyagrama family. I am truly grateful to each of you. I could probably say so much more, but for now, this is all.

When I first heard about this place from a friend, I came with a certain perspective. But after spending three weeks here, I realise there is so much more to life! This time has allowed me to pause, absorb and think more clearly. My daughter is taking back many beautiful memories from this place—she meditated and journaled during our stay.
Vaidyagrama truly focuses on overall well-being. I am still in the process of settling into the rhythm here and allowing myself to fully breathe. I’m happy to carry these good practices forward and make Vaidyagrama a small ritual for both my body and soul.
Thank you to every member of this temple, especially the therapists, for such a pleasant and wonderful experience.

We sincerely thank the entire team for their excellent service and warm hospitality. First and foremost, we would like to thank Dr. Harikrishnan, who was referred to us by a friend. He explained everything very clearly and took great care of us. All the doctors did their jobs very well. Once again, we thank the whole team and hope to come back soon.

Thank you, Vaidyagrama, once again. This is our third consecutive year visiting, and each time, the experience is beyond words. What exists here makes this place nearly perfect for living a truly charming life. Humility fills the air. Everyone living and working here puts in 100% effort toward their duties. An ideal environment exists here for holistic healing.
The prayers, mantras, food, puja, doctors and satsangs—all contribute immensely. Ayurveda is alive and thriving here in Vaidyagrama. The discipline around food is one of the most important aspects of the treatment, and it is especially helpful in controlling our cravings for fatty or unhealthy foods. Everyone here is sincere, hardworking, and knowledgeable.
Dr. Ramkumar – a true encyclopaedia of knowledge, truly great. Dr. Ramanandan – an exceptional personality, very positive and practical. His words, “All will be well,” bring immense confidence. Dr. Rose – very sincere, hardworking, and always available. Dr. Ramadas, with vast experience, is extremely humble and has a remarkable personality. All the therapists and team members are equally praiseworthy.
In just a few words, the entire stay and the way of life here can only be described as Extraordinary. The atmosphere at Vaidyagrama is ideal for guiding us to live a more balanced, disciplined and harmonious life.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family, It has been an excellent stay over the past couple of weeks. We have already shared our feelings and gratitude with everyone concerned, verbally. Once again, a big wave of gratitude to our panel of doctors, therapists and support staff.
While we express our heartfelt thanks, we would also like to offer a few suggestions: Kindly put up a board requesting visitors not to talk to each other during waking hours. (This is meant for guests who are new to Vaidyagrama.) Please also advise them not to carry water bottles into their rooms as soon as they arrive. These instructions are currently not very clear. Additionally, installing a rope near the head of the treatment table would be helpful. It would allow patients, whose hands are oily, to hold on and turn with more confidence during treatment.
This is an excellent place for healing and detoxing—mentally, physically, and electronically. Although we were initially agitated by the lack of mobile signal and Wi-Fi, we later found it to be a true blessing. It allowed us to experience peace and bliss. The peacocks, the natural surroundings, the rains—all add to the beauty of this place, along with the very positive vibrations. Not to forget the majestic chanting voice of Dr. Ramadas, the melodious voice of Dr. Anupama, the soothing tone of Dr. Ramanandan, and the uplifting, "dancing" voice of Dr. Om—they all created a “mini heaven” at Vaidyagrama.
Our prayers, blessings, and best wishes are with all of you to continue this wonderful service. We will return and look forward to writing another feedback note next year.

Dear Dr. Ramadas and Team,
We feel privileged to have had the opportunity to spend three weeks here at Vaidyagrama. It was truly an out-of-this-world experience for both Kamini and me. The treatments were carried out so tenderly that I felt like a precious ring being given a royal bath! The staff is extremely polite, caring, and efficient. All medicines and food were always served on time without fail. Dr. Renjisha took such personal care of us that it is difficult to describe in words. Even our smallest problems or requests were resolved immediately.
Gaining insight into Ayurveda, karmic laws and the significance of prayers, Ganapati Puja, and more was a bonus. On top of all that, it was also a completely tension-free and effortless, wonderful holiday experience. Overall, it was a unique and memorable journey—one we will cherish forever.

Dear Vaidyagrama, and especially the staff of Illam 3, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your respect and devotion to your work. I am deeply grateful to the following people who have greatly contributed to making my stay an extraordinary moment of healing, one that gives me hope for the future of my healing journey. Thank you to Dr. Vinod for his support and advice. Thank you to Dr. Arsha and Dr. Arun for their daily follow-ups and thoughtful guidance. Thank you to all the therapists who treated me, especially Libin, Vinod, Arya, Greeshma, Shyni and Shobha, for taking care of me with such exemplary gentleness. Thank you to Mallika for taking care of my room during my stay. And a final thank you—though certainly not the least—to Priest Rajneesh, whom I now consider a friend.
During my stay, I felt completely at home, surrounded by family. I would also like to thank all the doctors for the wonderful satsangs and prayers, and the cooks who prepared fresh, naturally grown, locally sourced food, so nourishing for both the mind and the heart. This truly contributed to making my stay memorable. There were many things I had stopped eating before arriving here, but I’m leaving with renewed hope that it’s possible to improve one’s health naturally by eating balanced, wholesome food. These changes will be profound for me and my family, whom I hope will one day be able to experience what I did here at Vaidyagrama. Thank you for everything, and I sincerely apologise if I have forgotten to mention anyone who was equally important to me.
P.S.: Please stay just as you are—You hold the recipe for creating a better, healthier world.
With gratitude, thank you for all…

I have been looking forward to visiting Vaidyagrama for many years, and at long last, I have come for my first visit. As expected, it has been a truly special experience. Vaidyagrama is a haven of all things natural and Ayurvedic — a very precious space. I envision it continuing to expand as more visitors become enchanted by its healing powers. Thanks to the entire community for your care, gracious and ever-abundant, always.
It has been a great pleasure to meet so many fellow guests from all around the world. The treatment was a joy. The food—consistently delicious. The chats with Dr. Ramadas—absolutely sublime. The satsangs - enlightening. And the sense of community nourishes beyond measure. I’m already looking forward to my next visit—to return for healing and for reconnection with myself, with Nature, and with new friends.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family, I felt truly happy the moment I entered Vaidyagrama—the atmosphere and the surrounding Nature were so pleasant and calming. First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Vinod Govind, who has been a lifesaver for me. He patiently answered all the questions I asked, no matter how many. I also thank Dr. Vishagalakshmi and Dr. Arun for their daily advice and guidance. A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Renjisha and Dr. Arsha, our dedicated doctors, for their continuous consultations, both day and night.
Everyone here is highly professional and gives their 100% to Vaidyagrama. I want to take this opportunity to especially thank the therapists—Shobha, Shiny, Arya, and Greeshma —who played a big role during my stay. They are very kind and serve every patient with dedication and without hesitation. Special thanks also to Mallika from housekeeping, who kept my room clean and always helped me promptly whenever I asked.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who cared for me and made me feel truly at home. I feel emotional now as I prepare to leave this place, which has helped me so much in improving my health. Once again, I thank all the doctors and therapists. Thank you all!

This was our first visit to Vaidyagrama, and I must say it was wonderful. My family has experienced a very stressful eight months, and this visit to Vaidyagrama is the first time in all these months that we have had a chance to breathe and mindfully relax. There are a few things that made this stay uniquely memorable. The wonderful staff always greeted us with a smile and kindness. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. I would especially like to mention the cleaning staff, who did a deep clean of the room after we found a few bites on the bed. The therapists ensured our comfort and were extremely courteous. The fantastic doctors were always available and highly appreciable. Lastly, the location and the warmth of Nature provided the medicine we needed. It has been an absolute pleasure to stay here. Thank you to Dr. Sreeji, Dr. Ramanandan, and their team for the fantastic care and healing. I look forward to coming back.

Towards the fulfilment of Dr. Ramkumar’s Vision: This was our first visit to Vaidyagrama, and not only did our physical health improve significantly, but our mental health also benefited greatly. It was simply an awesome experience.
My doctor, Ramanandan, treated us with exceptional care. Whatever diseases, pressure, or tension, it had seemed to vanish in this atmosphere, thanks to the excellent Ayurvedic medicines. Since traditional Ayurvedic methods are followed here, the treatments are all highly effective.
We offer our heartfelt thanks once again to the entire Vaidyagrama community, especially Dr. Sajna and the team. The Satsangs are very helpful for gaining clarity. Our courtesy and gratitude go to Dr. Ramadas and his team. The cleanliness of the rooms, treatment areas, and the entire ambience is truly appreciable. The therapists and doctors create an environment of silence that fosters divinity.
We are looking forward to visiting again.

I came here with lots of hope and am leaving today, after 21 days, feeling fulfilled in every aspect. Thanks to the team of doctors and therapists, I feel healed and motivated to move forward in my retired life, embracing many of the practices that healed both my mind and body. These have been my purest 21 days, thanks to the ambience and the warm, welcoming experience. They all helped me say goodbye to three decades of bad habits, with no hangover whatsoever. The Vaidyagrama culture, philosophy and practices truly gave me a relaxed and stress-free time like I have never experienced before. I loved the vibrations, the meditative moments, and sitting through the morning and evening chanting and prayer sessions. The entire experience was remarkable.
Kudos to the management and staff for their dedication to healing. A special thanks to Dr. Vinod, Dr. Ardent, Dr. Rose, Dr. Sreya, and to all the therapists, kitchen staff, priest and supporting team members.

The treatment they prescribed was effective, and I am leaving feeling lighter and more energetic.

Additionally, a big thanks to all the support staff for promptly taking care of all our needs.

I came to Vaidyagrama with no expectations. Twenty-one days seemed like a very long time before I stepped in here. But today, as I pen this, I sit with a heart full of emotions—did those 21 days really go by? They seemed so quick. No words can fully explain my experience here. It brought me back to my roots—simple living—and reminded me how beautiful life is, and how complicated we often make it. I take this opportunity to thank every person in this beautiful place. Each one contributes their skill with a happy face. It brings joy to see such a group of happy people in a world that is often stingy with smiles! Thank you, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Ardent, Dr. Rose, Dr. Sreya, Kalpana, Beena, Unnimaya, Arunima and Vasantha for your awesome service. I wish the management and every member of this beautiful family the very best in fulfilling your vision. We will be back soon.

I would like to suggest the designation of more rest places in Nature. The most potent and healing experience is watching the sunlight glitter through the trees and feeling the wind on the leaves while sitting comfortably in a relaxing chair or daybed—this is medicine in itself and, for me, extremely important for an overactive mind. Not all rooms have access to Nature. In my first room, I couldn’t see any garden or greenery. In my second room, a sewage smell prevented me from using the balcony for about two weeks. I am concerned about the new design of the bigger rooms that bring more light, but lack comfortable access to Nature. I find this to be remedied in two ways: More landscaping and gardening—increase flowers and foliage around patient balconies and windows. Create more comfortable seating with beautiful views. There are unused torchlight spaces in front of clusters that would be perfect for wooden swings or hammocks. The sensation of rocking is extremely healing. For Cluster 5, I suggest a covered balcony in the area where the construction left an opening. This is one of the two best views on the campus, and I loved watching the clouds pass over the neighbouring trees. When my body was tired and I couldn’t stand for long, I dreamed of a peaceful, cheerful view. I could have spent hours there. Instead, I often felt cooped up inside my room due to the bed’s soft orientation away from the view. If you can design more public spaces for the best communication with nature, they should be designated as silent spaces. My second suggestion is more dosa and coconut chutney… just kidding! I do wish that the prayer we sang before therapy was written somewhere with a translation. I must have asked ten times and finally found the right person to write it down for me.
The power of human touch is significant, and the sacredness of each treatment I received was profound. Some therapies showed more reverence through prayer and respect for the patient than others. Though some days it’s nice to be light-hearted, the etiquette of therapists who conducted each part of the therapy with reverence truly created a sacred healing experience. I was lucky to have two therapists whom I fell in love with and truly felt cared for by. They are both extremely smart and detail-oriented, ensuring everything runs smoothly. I appreciated their gentle squeezes on my foot or hand to let me know they were there for me. I appreciate them anticipating what I liked and didn’t like, respecting my rhythms, and creating a supportive environment. My favourite foods were always full and satisfying, and the water was always hot. The mornings were always quiet, with a perfect antiquity. Little things like moving the footstool to the side of the room and placing it properly mattered a lot. Thank you, Greeshma and Seema, from the bottom of my heart, for being here with me during this experience. I carry a lot of pain, heartache, and loneliness, and your presence erased these feelings. You both are such a gift—thank you. Thank you to every team member who makes this beautiful place a safe haven. Thank you, Dr. Renjisha, for your empathy and kind smile. I was so grateful to have you as my counsellor in addition to being my doctor. I will always be grateful for your sweet presence in my heart.
I am ending treatment with many of my symptoms still active and my mental troubles still present, but I am now facing them with an experience of full-body peace, though fleeting, I found it here in this last week. I have always believed in traditional medicine, and I am excited for the moment when I can tell the world that under Dr. Vinod’s brilliance and lifelong dedication to tradition—an ancient heritage of understanding the world and serving others—I was cured of my cancer.
Love and light,

Thank you so much for your care, kindness and patience. This place is wonderful, and the people are extraordinary. My gratitude goes out to you all!

Dear Team Vaidyagrama,
This is my second visit, and I am very much satisfied with the environment and the people who have made it feel like a home away from home. Thanks to Dr. Ramanandan for addressing the root of the health problem, which helped resolve everything. Dr. Ardent, Dr. Rose and Dr. Sreya were all kind and patient. Thanks to each and every one who made my stay so pleasant.

My 21-day Panchakarma journey: A truly rejuvenating experience!
My recent 21-day Ayurveda Panchakarma treatment was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment I arrived, the ambience of the centre was incredibly welcoming and soothing, immediately putting me at ease. It felt less like a medical facility and more like a serene retreat.
The core of my experience was, of course, the Panchakarma treatment itself, which was administered with utmost precision and care. I was under the expert guidance of Dr. Harikumar, the medical Director, whose vision truly shapes the experience. His leadership is complemented beautifully by Dr. Anupama and Dr. Pavithra, who contributed significantly to my treatment plan and well-being. Their combined expertise and compassionate approach made a profound difference. I also had positive interactions with Dr. Mojin. What truly set this experience apart was the extraordinary dedication of the entire medical team.
The doctors, especially Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Anupama and Dr. Pavithra, exhibited an incredible level of patience. They took the time to explain every detail, ensuring I understood each step of my treatment. This made me feel completely comfortable and informed, never once like I was in a hospital. Their friendly demeanour and genuine guidance made us feel more like friends or family, something I have rarely encountered elsewhere.
My heartfelt salutations to the entire doctors, team for creating such a supportive and homely atmosphere. Equally deserving of immense praise are the therapists who administered daily treatments. Hema, Sandhya, Vincy and Vijitha were exemplary. They were incredibly skilled and, more importantly, ensured my maximum comfort throughout every session. Their dedication and attentiveness were truly remarkable.
A special heartfelt thanks goes to Hema and Vijitha; I can feel the motherly care in Hema’s treatments and Vijitha, who went above and beyond by specially and specifically looking after my dinner most evenings. Although my interactions with Kesiya, Jyotika and Praveena were less frequent, they too gave their best whenever they were present.
Beyond the treatment rooms, the support staff also contributed significantly to my positive experience. Veni from housekeeping was extraordinary; her commitment to neatness and cleanliness was truly appreciated. Biju was consistently helpful, particularly with providing kashayams whenever needed. Even the laundry team's approach and service were commendable.
Overall, this 21-day Panchakarma journey was a deeply enriching and healing experience. The incredible teamwork, from the visionary doctors to the dedicated therapists and supportive staff, made it truly unforgettable. I could recommend this place highly enough to anyone seeking authentic ayurvedic treatment in a nurturing and exceptionally caring environment. “Very Highly Recommended”.
With lots & lots of love, respect and gratitude,

We came to Vaidyagrama primarily for the treatment of my wife, Chetna. We had initially planned to stay for only 14 days; however, seeing the improvement, we decided to extend our stay. It has been a wonderful experience — healing and spiritual. There is a long list of people to thank, but we will stick to the Vaidyagrama ethos that it is a combined effort. So we would like to thank the entire team at Vaidyagrama. You all are doing wonderful work. We are happy to be a part of the Vaidyagrama family!
Thank you all!

Dear Vaidyagrama Family (Dr. Ramadas and team),
At first, thank you very much for your kind hospitality and care. I particularly feel blessed to have chanted every evening during the prayer sessions conducted at Vaidyagrama. The medical process was well explained by the doctors. Thank you also to Dr. Hima. Overall, the healing service was of a high standard. Both of us wish we could have stayed longer—more days or even weeks—but due to our work back home, we are compelled to return after 15 days. We feel nourished in body, mind, and soul. Once again, thank you to all the doctors and therapists.

I really enjoyed my time at Vaidyagrama. I came here to begin the healing process after experiencing high stress from a complicated birth and postpartum period. It was incredible to have the space and time to be alone and to heal. The service was excellent.
There is a strong sense of family, and everyone was very warm and welcoming. The doctors and therapists were all wonderful— I love that you never feel like a burden to anyone, and the entire team is always happy to help. The knowledge shared is exceptional and well communicated.
I’m truly impressed by the community, the dedication to sustainability, and the commitment to giving back to the local community and those in need. I look forward to returning shortly. Thank you.

Our hearts are full of gratitude for you and the entire team who cared for us as if we were your own. A heartfelt thank you to each one of you—especially Greeshma, Seema and Femila—you truly spoiled and pampered my daughter Dia to bits. All of you lovingly became a part of our daily lives. From ensuring we had the right medicines to checking if we were comfortable and indulging Dia in all her requests, it meant the world to us.
It may be your everyday job, but for us, it was nothing short of love in action. Please do share this message with everyone on the team. We are carrying back your kindness, warmth, and care in our hearts.
Just a small piece of feedback: before assigning rooms, please ensure that everything is functioning well, especially in the bathrooms.

Vaidyagrama, you are such a wonderful, special place! During my time here, every tree, every gust of wind, every spray of rain near my window, every expectant meow of the visiting cat, every moo of the cows—my neighbours—all brought me a sense of peaceful joy that we often forget in everyday life. I am ever so grateful for your spirit and energy. It is especially embodied in every person I interacted with here.
Dr. Vinod, Dr. Pavithra and Dr. Anupama, you were ever so patient, ever so pleasant, teaching me while healing me every day. Semeena, your kindness and concern; Sandhya, your empathy and positivity; Anu, your feistiness; Praveena, your care; Jyotika, your quiet efficiency; Devika and Suja, your seamless stepping in and uplifting smiles—all of your energies, especially in your hands, are blessings I am deeply grateful for. Dr. Om Prakash and Dr. Ramadas, your Sahasranama parayanam, along with everything else in your prayer sessions, brought calm and centeredness to my days here. As I return home, I hope to carry on that routine more mindfully. Until next time!
With love and gratitude,

Dear all at Vaidyagrama, I walked in for the first time, alone, not knowing how I would go through the entire process. But to my surprise, the forest village environment had so much energy and peace. The first day was a bit slow, and I wasn’t sure if I could continue. But the next day, Dr. Mojin and Dr. Harikumar were so energetic and kind—they convinced me with their confidence and care, which made me decide to stay.
For the first time, I experienced the true authenticity of Ayurveda here, something I hadn’t found in other places. The therapists and supporting staff were truly amazing, doing their jobs with so much patience and a constant smile. Dr. Pavitra and Dr. Anupama were also excellent. The night duty therapist carried out her responsibilities with both a smile and genuine passion.
Everything in Vaidyagrama is so wonderful that I will surely visit again. Therapists Hema and Bindu gave me such care and attention. Dr. Mojin kept the place lively and energetic, making me feel like I was not in a hospital, but in a second home. Not to forget the timely attention to food and medicines.
Thank you to Dr. Ramkumar and the entire team for creating such a wonderful, simple, and down-to-earth place to heal through Ayurveda. May Vaidyagrama grow beyond all expectations. Thanks to all.

My stay at Vaidyagrama from 01.06.2025 to 19.06.2025 left a deep impression on me due to the excellent services provided by the entire Vaidyagrama team. Their kindness, gentle behaviour, and attention to even the smallest details were remarkable. I was treated by Dr. Ramadas Sir and Dr. Hima, who relieved me of all my physical ailments with care from every perspective. Dr. Hima is meticulous in her explanations, a perfectionist, and cares for me like a mother. I remain deeply grateful to both doctors. During Dr. Hima’s absence, Dr. Renjisha and Dr. Sreeji also provided excellent care. In my life, I have met many doctors, but Dr. Hima and Dr. Ramadas Sir stand out as some of the finest I’ve ever encountered.
The organic food prepared by the Goddess Annapurna-like cooks was exceptional. Greeshma and others were gentle, kind and caring. I may not remember every name, but each member of the serving staff—those who provided water, kashaya, medicines—as well as the therapists and Dr. Om Prakash, were all truly praiseworthy. Their courteous behaviour would impress anyone.
My heartfelt thanks and blessings go to all the staff and doctors at Vaidyagrama. This place feels truly Divine—with the Shiva temple, the beautiful flora and fauna, and the birds singing—it all invokes a deep sense of connection to Divinity. Thank you for everything.

I visited Vaidyagrama for 11 days with a headache. Our beloved Dr. Harikumar Sir explained everything very clearly and patiently. Everyone here—from the reception staff and back-office team to the doctors, therapists and therapists —does their job with sincerity and dedication. I really liked the room atmosphere, the natural surroundings, the puja, the food, the group lunch and the various entertainments. I received excellent treatment, my headache has reduced significantly, and I feel deeply relaxed.
I sincerely thank all the doctors, staff, therapists, duty doctors, food service team and everyone involved. God bless you all. I plan to return with my wife as soon as possible. Once again, my heartfelt thanks to everyone for contributing to my healing.

Dear Vaidyagrama Team, I feel deeply grateful to have found a place like this. Vaidyagrama is truly one of a kind. I always knew that the medicine of Ayurveda is powerful and that it would support my healing, but the true healing essence I’ve found here lies in the sweetness, kindness and care of the people who work here. They are what made Vaidyagrama a home away from home for me—a place where one feels nurtured and safe. A place that feels hard to leave. But I know this is not the last time I’ll be coming here.
I especially want to thank: Dr. Sreya – Thank you for always listening to me and calming me down when I needed it. Dr. Ramanandan – For giving me insight into my emotional world through our conversations and for expanding my perspective on what is required to heal, beyond just the medical. Rajneesh – For encouraging me to sing again. I truly enjoyed our evening kirtans. Kartika & Indu – Thank you for your charming presence, which allowed me to be a child again. Your continuous care meant everything to me.
I will miss you. Dr. Vinod – Thank you for making me laugh, no matter where I was in the process. And thank you to all the rest of the Vaidyagrama family. I am truly grateful to each of you. I could probably say so much more, but for now, this is all.

When I first heard about this place from a friend, I came with a certain perspective. But after spending three weeks here, I realise there is so much more to life! This time has allowed me to pause, absorb and think more clearly. My daughter is taking back many beautiful memories from this place—she meditated and journaled during our stay.
Vaidyagrama truly focuses on overall well-being. I am still in the process of settling into the rhythm here and allowing myself to fully breathe. I’m happy to carry these good practices forward and make Vaidyagrama a small ritual for both my body and soul.
Thank you to every member of this temple, especially the therapists, for such a pleasant and wonderful experience.

We sincerely thank the entire team for their excellent service and warm hospitality. First and foremost, we would like to thank Dr. Harikrishnan, who was referred to us by a friend. He explained everything very clearly and took great care of us. All the doctors did their jobs very well. Once again, we thank the whole team and hope to come back soon.

Thank you, Vaidyagrama, once again. This is our third consecutive year visiting, and each time, the experience is beyond words. What exists here makes this place nearly perfect for living a truly charming life. Humility fills the air. Everyone living and working here puts in 100% effort toward their duties. An ideal environment exists here for holistic healing.
The prayers, mantras, food, puja, doctors and satsangs—all contribute immensely. Ayurveda is alive and thriving here in Vaidyagrama. The discipline around food is one of the most important aspects of the treatment, and it is especially helpful in controlling our cravings for fatty or unhealthy foods. Everyone here is sincere, hardworking, and knowledgeable.
Dr. Ramkumar – a true encyclopaedia of knowledge, truly great. Dr. Ramanandan – an exceptional personality, very positive and practical. His words, “All will be well,” bring immense confidence. Dr. Rose – very sincere, hardworking, and always available. Dr. Ramadas, with vast experience, is extremely humble and has a remarkable personality. All the therapists and team members are equally praiseworthy.
In just a few words, the entire stay and the way of life here can only be described as Extraordinary. The atmosphere at Vaidyagrama is ideal for guiding us to live a more balanced, disciplined and harmonious life.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family, It has been an excellent stay over the past couple of weeks. We have already shared our feelings and gratitude with everyone concerned, verbally. Once again, a big wave of gratitude to our panel of doctors, therapists and support staff.
While we express our heartfelt thanks, we would also like to offer a few suggestions: Kindly put up a board requesting visitors not to talk to each other during waking hours. (This is meant for guests who are new to Vaidyagrama.) Please also advise them not to carry water bottles into their rooms as soon as they arrive. These instructions are currently not very clear. Additionally, installing a rope near the head of the treatment table would be helpful. It would allow patients, whose hands are oily, to hold on and turn with more confidence during treatment.
This is an excellent place for healing and detoxing—mentally, physically, and electronically. Although we were initially agitated by the lack of mobile signal and Wi-Fi, we later found it to be a true blessing. It allowed us to experience peace and bliss. The peacocks, the natural surroundings, the rains—all add to the beauty of this place, along with the very positive vibrations. Not to forget the majestic chanting voice of Dr. Ramadas, the melodious voice of Dr. Anupama, the soothing tone of Dr. Ramanandan, and the uplifting, "dancing" voice of Dr. Om—they all created a “mini heaven” at Vaidyagrama.
Our prayers, blessings, and best wishes are with all of you to continue this wonderful service. We will return and look forward to writing another feedback note next year.

Dear Dr. Ramadas and Team,
We feel privileged to have had the opportunity to spend three weeks here at Vaidyagrama. It was truly an out-of-this-world experience for both Kamini and me. The treatments were carried out so tenderly that I felt like a precious ring being given a royal bath! The staff is extremely polite, caring, and efficient. All medicines and food were always served on time without fail. Dr. Renjisha took such personal care of us that it is difficult to describe in words. Even our smallest problems or requests were resolved immediately.
Gaining insight into Ayurveda, karmic laws and the significance of prayers, Ganapati Puja, and more was a bonus. On top of all that, it was also a completely tension-free and effortless, wonderful holiday experience. Overall, it was a unique and memorable journey—one we will cherish forever.

Dear Vaidyagrama, and especially the staff of Illam 3, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your respect and devotion to your work. I am deeply grateful to the following people who have greatly contributed to making my stay an extraordinary moment of healing, one that gives me hope for the future of my healing journey. Thank you to Dr. Vinod for his support and advice. Thank you to Dr. Arsha and Dr. Arun for their daily follow-ups and thoughtful guidance. Thank you to all the therapists who treated me, especially Libin, Vinod, Arya, Greeshma, Shyni and Shobha, for taking care of me with such exemplary gentleness. Thank you to Mallika for taking care of my room during my stay. And a final thank you—though certainly not the least—to Priest Rajneesh, whom I now consider a friend.
During my stay, I felt completely at home, surrounded by family. I would also like to thank all the doctors for the wonderful satsangs and prayers, and the cooks who prepared fresh, naturally grown, locally sourced food, so nourishing for both the mind and the heart. This truly contributed to making my stay memorable. There were many things I had stopped eating before arriving here, but I’m leaving with renewed hope that it’s possible to improve one’s health naturally by eating balanced, wholesome food. These changes will be profound for me and my family, whom I hope will one day be able to experience what I did here at Vaidyagrama. Thank you for everything, and I sincerely apologise if I have forgotten to mention anyone who was equally important to me.
P.S.: Please stay just as you are—You hold the recipe for creating a better, healthier world.
With gratitude, thank you for all…

I have been looking forward to visiting Vaidyagrama for many years, and at long last, I have come for my first visit. As expected, it has been a truly special experience. Vaidyagrama is a haven of all things natural and Ayurvedic — a very precious space. I envision it continuing to expand as more visitors become enchanted by its healing powers. Thanks to the entire community for your care, gracious and ever-abundant, always.
It has been a great pleasure to meet so many fellow guests from all around the world. The treatment was a joy. The food—consistently delicious. The chats with Dr. Ramadas—absolutely sublime. The satsangs - enlightening. And the sense of community nourishes beyond measure. I’m already looking forward to my next visit—to return for healing and for reconnection with myself, with Nature, and with new friends.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family, I felt truly happy the moment I entered Vaidyagrama—the atmosphere and the surrounding Nature were so pleasant and calming. First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Vinod Govind, who has been a lifesaver for me. He patiently answered all the questions I asked, no matter how many. I also thank Dr. Vishagalakshmi and Dr. Arun for their daily advice and guidance. A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Renjisha and Dr. Arsha, our dedicated doctors, for their continuous consultations, both day and night.
Everyone here is highly professional and gives their 100% to Vaidyagrama. I want to take this opportunity to especially thank the therapists—Shobha, Shiny, Arya, and Greeshma —who played a big role during my stay. They are very kind and serve every patient with dedication and without hesitation. Special thanks also to Mallika from housekeeping, who kept my room clean and always helped me promptly whenever I asked.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who cared for me and made me feel truly at home. I feel emotional now as I prepare to leave this place, which has helped me so much in improving my health. Once again, I thank all the doctors and therapists. Thank you all!

This was our first visit to Vaidyagrama, and I must say it was wonderful. My family has experienced a very stressful eight months, and this visit to Vaidyagrama is the first time in all these months that we have had a chance to breathe and mindfully relax. There are a few things that made this stay uniquely memorable. The wonderful staff always greeted us with a smile and kindness. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. I would especially like to mention the cleaning staff, who did a deep clean of the room after we found a few bites on the bed. The therapists ensured our comfort and were extremely courteous. The fantastic doctors were always available and highly appreciable. Lastly, the location and the warmth of Nature provided the medicine we needed. It has been an absolute pleasure to stay here. Thank you to Dr. Sreeji, Dr. Ramanandan, and their team for the fantastic care and healing. I look forward to coming back.

Towards the fulfilment of Dr. Ramkumar’s Vision: This was our first visit to Vaidyagrama, and not only did our physical health improve significantly, but our mental health also benefited greatly. It was simply an awesome experience.
My doctor, Ramanandan, treated us with exceptional care. Whatever diseases, pressure, or tension, it had seemed to vanish in this atmosphere, thanks to the excellent Ayurvedic medicines. Since traditional Ayurvedic methods are followed here, the treatments are all highly effective.
We offer our heartfelt thanks once again to the entire Vaidyagrama community, especially Dr. Sajna and the team. The Satsangs are very helpful for gaining clarity. Our courtesy and gratitude go to Dr. Ramadas and his team. The cleanliness of the rooms, treatment areas, and the entire ambience is truly appreciable. The therapists and doctors create an environment of silence that fosters divinity.
We are looking forward to visiting again.

I came here with lots of hope and am leaving today, after 21 days, feeling fulfilled in every aspect. Thanks to the team of doctors and therapists, I feel healed and motivated to move forward in my retired life, embracing many of the practices that healed both my mind and body. These have been my purest 21 days, thanks to the ambience and the warm, welcoming experience. They all helped me say goodbye to three decades of bad habits, with no hangover whatsoever. The Vaidyagrama culture, philosophy and practices truly gave me a relaxed and stress-free time like I have never experienced before. I loved the vibrations, the meditative moments, and sitting through the morning and evening chanting and prayer sessions. The entire experience was remarkable.
Kudos to the management and staff for their dedication to healing. A special thanks to Dr. Vinod, Dr. Ardent, Dr. Rose, Dr. Sreya, and to all the therapists, kitchen staff, priest and supporting team members.

The treatment they prescribed was effective, and I am leaving feeling lighter and more energetic.

Additionally, a big thanks to all the support staff for promptly taking care of all our needs.

I came to Vaidyagrama with no expectations. Twenty-one days seemed like a very long time before I stepped in here. But today, as I pen this, I sit with a heart full of emotions—did those 21 days really go by? They seemed so quick. No words can fully explain my experience here. It brought me back to my roots—simple living—and reminded me how beautiful life is, and how complicated we often make it. I take this opportunity to thank every person in this beautiful place. Each one contributes their skill with a happy face. It brings joy to see such a group of happy people in a world that is often stingy with smiles! Thank you, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Ardent, Dr. Rose, Dr. Sreya, Kalpana, Beena, Unnimaya, Arunima and Vasantha for your awesome service. I wish the management and every member of this beautiful family the very best in fulfilling your vision. We will be back soon.

I would like to suggest the designation of more rest places in Nature. The most potent and healing experience is watching the sunlight glitter through the trees and feeling the wind on the leaves while sitting comfortably in a relaxing chair or daybed—this is medicine in itself and, for me, extremely important for an overactive mind. Not all rooms have access to Nature. In my first room, I couldn’t see any garden or greenery. In my second room, a sewage smell prevented me from using the balcony for about two weeks. I am concerned about the new design of the bigger rooms that bring more light, but lack comfortable access to Nature. I find this to be remedied in two ways: More landscaping and gardening—increase flowers and foliage around patient balconies and windows. Create more comfortable seating with beautiful views. There are unused torchlight spaces in front of clusters that would be perfect for wooden swings or hammocks. The sensation of rocking is extremely healing. For Cluster 5, I suggest a covered balcony in the area where the construction left an opening. This is one of the two best views on the campus, and I loved watching the clouds pass over the neighbouring trees. When my body was tired and I couldn’t stand for long, I dreamed of a peaceful, cheerful view. I could have spent hours there. Instead, I often felt cooped up inside my room due to the bed’s soft orientation away from the view. If you can design more public spaces for the best communication with nature, they should be designated as silent spaces. My second suggestion is more dosa and coconut chutney… just kidding! I do wish that the prayer we sang before therapy was written somewhere with a translation. I must have asked ten times and finally found the right person to write it down for me.
The power of human touch is significant, and the sacredness of each treatment I received was profound. Some therapies showed more reverence through prayer and respect for the patient than others. Though some days it’s nice to be light-hearted, the etiquette of therapists who conducted each part of the therapy with reverence truly created a sacred healing experience. I was lucky to have two therapists whom I fell in love with and truly felt cared for by. They are both extremely smart and detail-oriented, ensuring everything runs smoothly. I appreciated their gentle squeezes on my foot or hand to let me know they were there for me. I appreciate them anticipating what I liked and didn’t like, respecting my rhythms, and creating a supportive environment. My favourite foods were always full and satisfying, and the water was always hot. The mornings were always quiet, with a perfect antiquity. Little things like moving the footstool to the side of the room and placing it properly mattered a lot. Thank you, Greeshma and Seema, from the bottom of my heart, for being here with me during this experience. I carry a lot of pain, heartache, and loneliness, and your presence erased these feelings. You both are such a gift—thank you. Thank you to every team member who makes this beautiful place a safe haven. Thank you, Dr. Renjisha, for your empathy and kind smile. I was so grateful to have you as my counsellor in addition to being my doctor. I will always be grateful for your sweet presence in my heart.
I am ending treatment with many of my symptoms still active and my mental troubles still present, but I am now facing them with an experience of full-body peace, though fleeting, I found it here in this last week. I have always believed in traditional medicine, and I am excited for the moment when I can tell the world that under Dr. Vinod’s brilliance and lifelong dedication to tradition—an ancient heritage of understanding the world and serving others—I was cured of my cancer.
Love and light,

I came here to heal my body, but did not know that Vaidyagrama would heal my mind and spirit too! I have learnt so much here – this beautiful heaven has connected me to my roots and also shown me a way to a much better, healthier & happier future. The greenery, serenity and love encompass the entire campus, and every member of the VG family, and you quickly become a part of it. Nobody seems stressed! You realise how simple and wonderful life is, how we unnecessarily complicate it, and how going forward that is the way to be!
My immense and heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Ardent, all the wonderful therapists especially Kalpana, Vasanthamani; and admin Athira, Sukanya and Aparna. A special thanks to Dr. Ramadas for starting & ending the day with the most magnificent wisdom & prayers to God. Thank you, God bless. I’ll be back soon.
P.S. I love the music playing – kindly expand the playlist. Also please keep a few books on Ayurveda in the library. Thanks!

After facing many illnesses & issues for the last few years, I was looking for something that would help me stop taking so many medicines & put my mind at ease. I was hoping VG would do that for me for the few weeks I’m here. Little did I realise, it would help do it maybe for life – giving me a set of sustainable principles for a healthier living.
A big thank you to Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Sreeji & Dr. Rahul for always being there to answer my questions. Big thank you to the Cluster 5 therapists and support staff for a seamless experience. Creating a space that fosters self-reflection, mindfulness and a fertile ground for change requires a lot of intention, care & thoughtfulness. I’m lucky I’ve found VG to support me in my journey. I'm sure I will come again soon.
Big thank you & lots of love,

I have been here for 1 week. As my wife was already here before, I did not have any difficulty in activities, attending all prayers & treatment schedules. I would suggest Vaidyagrama to have an orientation as soon as a person arrives. This would help the person to navigate & get the best effect of the programs & the atmosphere Vaidyagrama can provide.
My experience was very good. The staff is very good & courteous. The doctors are very good & knowledgeable & are always ready to help. Our interaction with Dr. Harikumar was very meaningful & very informative. All the other doctors like Dr. Pavitra, Dr. Om Prakash were always helpful & cheerful. The food is good & sumptuous. I feel the food can improve with a variety of local cuisines. Overall a wonderful experience. Worth visiting again & again. Thank you Vaidyagrama for everything.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
As the three of us stepped into Vaidyagrama filled with anticipation, excitement and apprehension; three weeks sounded like eternity to us, but soon this felt like home amidst a family. The sounds of Nature and greenery, with the sounds of the birds and peacocks, added to the allure to become our most cherished memories to carry back home.
Dr. Ramadas' resonating voice filled us every morning with the prayers. The different homams and prayers have been very calming and have added to our spiritual energy. The satsangs with the different Vaidyas helped us to gain knowledge on different aspects of Ayurveda. Special mention of the calm and knowledgeable Dr. Harikumar, who at times we felt could read into our very souls. He made us reflect on our thought process and priorities. We are very thankful to all the doctors, especially Dr. Pavithra, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Mojin and Dr. Anjali.
Extremely grateful for the personal care and concern that they showed for our well-being. Here we would like to mention a special thanks to Jyothika and Sandhya, not leaving behind our lovely therapists Vincy, Prema, Hema, Sandhya and Jyothika Anu.
While we may not have addressed everybody, their faces, along with their kindness and smiles, are forever etched in our hearts. We are leaving with a heavy heart, but holding on and looking forward to returning to continue our health journey with you. On a lighter note, we hope the daily menu, especially dinner, offers more variety to keep us satiated.
Thanking Everyone..Love,

Dear Vaidyagrama team, Thank you for being my home away from home for life, for the compassion that you are offering to all of us unconditionally. Grateful to Dr. Vinod, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Mathew for our care and conversations. Very grateful to our therapists Bindhu Chechi, Vincy, Shobha and Biju; and to Vijitha and Devi Akka for keeping our room spic and span. An overall pleasant stay. As usual, very good housekeeping and all support staff. A very big call out for Biju our therapist for his efforts in keeping the entire schedule running in order. Thank you, Dr. Anupama & Dr. Vinod.

Dearest Vaidyagrama, A part of me does not want to leave this heaven that has sheltered and protected me for these 3 weeks, so that I could heal. Here one feels like a child being cared for by a family. It is as though everyone is standing around you, praying together for you to heal. There is so much thoroughness that has gone into each and everything, from the architecture to the way food is served, how treatments are explained, and each Vaidya monitors you closely to ensure your well-being.
Everyone is loving and kind, and I will miss this the most. It is thus a community of caring, the only place in the world perhaps that helps one heal.
In gratitude with a bow and a smile,

This is my first time at Vaidyagrama. It has been a short visit, just a 3-day stay, and an introduction to this place and the world of Ayurveda. Though brief, it has been enough for me to see how wonderful this place is and to confidently recommend it to others. The doctors are knowledgeable, experienced and kind, with an exceptional ability to understand their patients. Everyone here is good-natured, kind and always ready to help. The place is clean, well-maintained, and the sights and sounds of Nature help one truly relax.
Last but not least, this beautiful, self-sufficient place is a shining example to learn from, with its eco-friendly practices integrated into every aspect of daily life. I feel fortunate to have been here and to have met Dr. Ramadas and all the wonderful people and patients. I will definitely be coming again for a longer stay next time. Thank you to everyone here.

My brother and I, along with our parents, spent 8 days on a retreat here to reset & recharge, and to address some minor issues. Vaidyagrama exceeded our expectations! The stay was very comfortable, clean and spacious! Thanks to the housekeeping staff for their dedication and hard work, ensuring the rooms, beds and bathroom were all set for our comfortable stay! Special thanks to Ebison and Greeshma, the support staff, for providing our meals/medicines and water on schedule, round the clock, with a smiling face! They were the first and last people we would see daily, and their service cheered us up immensely! Special gratitude from all of us towards the therapist staff – Vinod, Shoba, Shiny, Libin, Ritish, Gireesh, Sasi... (I am sure I am missing others)! Their courtesy, kindness and caring made each session a healing experience! Special shoutout to Lalu-ettan! May you continue to do the good work with Mother Earth, and reap bountiful harvest year after year! Dr. Arun – Thank you so much for everything. You took care of all our needs, including small things (like a tea recipe) and big things. Thanks for taking the time to explain in detail the modality and to listen to our perspectives! Dr. Hima, Dr. Arsha – Thank you for your care of our mother! Our best wishes and blessings!
Some feedback on logistics & admin items – Given our background in technology, we felt there is an opportunity to integrate front office, back office and patient management systems, to streamline paper processes, and to enable seamless communication and limit redundant work. Happy to share more on this topic if interested.
Yoga Nidra is awesome. More people should become aware of it and participate in the session. Please provide audio/video recording in Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi, for Indian patients who may not understand English instructions fully. You can use a headset for specific language instructions.
Thank you!

Thank you for a wonderful stay. It's so rare to see every single person here at Vaidyagrama invested in your well-being and healing. Special thanks to Dr. Rose, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Ardent & the therapists Bala & team. We will miss this serene environment. Our stay felt healing because of the attentive care of Dr. Rose. Her ever-positive, calming presence was a balm on even the most difficult days of Panchakarma. She makes us want to return. Vaidyagrama is special in many ways, and we wish the team all the success & growth.

A warm and heartfelt thanks to the Vaidyagrama family, with whom I was blessed to be a part of for these past three weeks. The care, attention and gentle culture of this peaceful heaven really shine through, and leave one feeling truly soul-nourished. The Satsangs helped me to understand where my internal imbalances lie and have inspired me to make the required changes in my lifestyle in simple yet important ways. Dr. Ramkumar’s Satsangs were particularly insightful, and I feel truly grateful for his Vision and implementation of this incredible paradise.
Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Rose, Dr. Ardent & Dr. Sreya have been so good in every way. The therapists, especially Kalpana, Beena & Bindu, were extremely tuned in and well trained — always smiling and helpful. Even the cleaning lady Bhagyam is delightful. Dr. Ramadas’ powerful prayers and magnetic presence lent a lot to the magic of this place. I will carry with me and treasure the memory of this wonderful healing experience in the midst of this pristine environment.
My gratitude for the caring support of Aparna & Athira as well as to all the staff and doctors. May all the initiatives flourish and bring love and light to the lives of many.

Hari Om!
The treatment started with online consultation with Dr. Renjisha. After listening to health concerns, she said we can address these symptoms by improving my digestion. I arrived at Vaidyagrama about 2 weeks later and met Dr. Renjisha in person. Then the 21-day treatment started. Powders, potlies, oils, kashayams, prayers in the form of chanting, puja, homa, learning in the form of presentations & satsangs filled these days. Here we are encouraged to be alert to our hunger, our thirst, our sleep cycles, our breath & of course evacuations. I met Dr. Renjisha mornings & evenings and discussed these things & other areas of my life. Over time, I realised it was Lord Dhanvantari appearing before me. I see her and breathe easier. She said we are giving medicines now, but the goal is to eventually be off the medicine. I have saved our conversations in my mind to reflect on when I return and to remind me of how to care for my body. Dr. Arsha similarly guided me.
For people who can travel here and who are ready to make lifestyle changes, it is worthwhile to have treatment at Vaidyagrama.

It was a great experience. The staff, doctors, therapists, housekeeping people are so kind in treating us. They are very humble and gave proper responses to everything. Handled with various doctors like Vinod, Dr. Arun, Dr. Arsha, Dr. Hima, Dr. Renjisha, and I’m sorry if I have missed someone. All are very polite and gave proper treatment, and whenever we call, we get excellent responses at all times. I want to express heartfelt thanks to them. The therapist, especially on night duty, Arya, was very kind and responded properly whenever necessary. Special thanks to Libin, Ratheesh, Mithun and others who took care of me during treatment. Medicines come on time, and rooms are neat & clean. Food also comes on time. The only thing is – ‘Kindly improve Kanji, all other foods are manageable except Kanji.’ The man who is doing pooja at the Temple is excellent. I came across various people here, all were good to us. So grateful to Vaidyagrama. The environment is eco-friendly. Overall experience is excellent — quite valuable. Thank you

Thank you to everyone here at Vaidyagrama. My stay has felt like a total body (and mind) reset. The first thing I noticed here was the lack of distractions – the only sounds were the rustle of leaves, the chirping of the birds, or the pooja chanting – all of it very soothing and nourishing. I even saw a peacock from the room. It has been so refreshing to be so close to Nature. I have learned many new things – especially about food. It was surprising to find how little food is really necessary.
Thank you to Dr. Arun and to Dr. Renjisha for taking the time to talk about my concerns and to explain. All the therapists have also been extremely good and considerate. I now have the confidence that I’ll be able to put all these learnings to use back home and am looking forward to continuing the healing journey. Thank you for making my stay comfortable, enriching and the beginning of a healthier lifestyle. Thank you

I have been in a lot of pain for more than five years now. Somewhere along the way, I had to accept that life was going to be this way. I’m still not sure if the pain will ever go away fully. But for the first time in five years, I did not feel inhibited by it. It did not come in the way of my seeking joy. And that’s because I knew there were people to catch me if I fell. Arya, who does her job with so much love and gentleness… Her presence alone was enough to make me feel at home. Anagha, both whimsical and hardworking, her lightness is contagious. Jagathy Amma, who cleaned my chaotic room every day with so much patience. Dr. Ramanandan, whose quiet presence and gentle contemplation changed the pace of my days. And most importantly, Sajna, who gave me something larger than words can ever explain.
And my dear Ponnu, thanks for the love received every single day! Thank you all for letting me love you and thank you for returning some of that love.

I came for pain and tried to find a solution. Dr. Vinod took good care of me. I was here for 10 days and was immediately treated even if it was on Sunday that I checked in. I am very happy with my treatment and will come again. All other doctors and treatment technicians are the best. Abhijith was the best.

This was my first visit to Vaidyagrama. I stayed here for 12 days, and throughout this time, we truly appreciated the way we were treated. I want to sincerely thank everyone who took care of us. For the first time, I felt like I could even be pampered this much. The environment around us was very friendly, and everyone was always ready to help. The staff who gave us treatments were wonderful, and the housekeeping team did an excellent job keeping our room clean and tidy. Last but not least, our doctors – Dr. Prameela and Dr. Harikrishnan were extremely kind and caring. The way they treat patients is so compassionate, that one starts feeling better just by listening to their words. Thank you for all the love and care you gave us. It will remain in our memories forever. We will definitely recommend Vaidyagrama to others.

For some time now, I have been drawn to the idea of integrating Ayurvedic practices into my life. My recent stay at Vaidyagrama has not only nurtured the seed of this new path – scientifically and holistically – it confirmed the deep, strong work I know will continue to form deeply.
A special note of gratitude to Dr. Omprakash – His attentiveness, optimism and cheerful, practical approach were instrumental in making Ayurveda feel both accessible and sustainable for me, as I prepare to return home. His exceptional organisation of Vaidyagrama Cluster 5, even during the annual rotation of staff, was evident. I deeply appreciated his sensitivity in helping to improve my comfort, and his daily willingness to educate & patiently answer my questions will stay with me.
I am also very thankful to Dr. Sreeji for her proactive care and kindness in virtually consulting with my father, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Her support from afar will continue to mean very much to our family. Dr. Arsha impressed me with her clarity and thoroughness in communication and her consistent, thoughtful follow-ups – both of which added great comfort during my treatments. Dr. Rahul, though I only interacted with him towards the end of my stay, left a lasting impression through his quiet diligence and genuine kindness.
Beyond my immediate care team, I also had meaningful exchanges with Dr. Ramkumar and Dr. Vinod. Though our conversations weren’t directly related to my treatment, they deepened my respect for the entire team of Vaidyas at Vaidyagrama. The people who have left the most indelible mark on me are the many therapists involved in our treatments and day-to-day routines – their warmth, thoroughness, and consistency in Sindhu’s proactive leadership, to the healing hands of Femila and Kavita, to the gentleness of Sruthi, Princy & Nimmy – the therapists held my hand and treated me with immense care and healing energy. This is the most relaxed I have ever been in my life.
As for Vaidyagrama itself – there is something truly Visionary here – as Dr. Ramkumar often says, it is not about creating perfection – but the goal of perseverance for cultivating an ever-evolving, deeply intentional space for healing is visible in every corner. From its emphasis on community and holistic health, to its focus on sustainable, locally grown food and products, to its thoughtful integration of spirituality, this place is a marvel. From Mr. Shivachaitanya the co-manager of farming, to Mr. Sivaprakash the HR manager, every single person here embodies its philosophy. Though I often travel to remote areas far from cities to reconnect with nature, my time at Vaidyagrama has been unlike anything I have ever experienced. The broader initiatives like Balagrama, Lakshmigrama are future proof of the far-reaching impact of this incredible Vision.
I loved the food! I learned a lot at Satsangs. I thoroughly enjoyed connecting with people going on their Ayurvedic journeys. I loved planting my own little custard apple plant behind NG8.
Until next time, with sincere gratitude…

I, Prasad Hirachand Pingale, am from Maharashtra. I came to Vaidyagrama along with my sister and father. Both my father and sister had taken treatment here in 2023, and based on their positive experiences, they recommended that I come here as well. Upon arrival at the airport, we were warmly received by Mr. Ramaswamy, the driver arranged by Vaidyagrama. He made our journey very comfortable, which gave me a very good first impression.
After reaching Vaidyagrama, we were allotted rooms 310 and 311. I was very happy to see the rooms were well-maintained and clean. However, I did face some issues with the toilet in my room. The flush had to be repaired four times within four days. I would kindly suggest that the bathroom maintenance be improved.
The doctors at Vaidyagrama are very dedicated and caring. Dr. Ramanandan took care of my father, and Dr. Harikumar was responsible for my treatment. Both are kind, knowledgeable and generous. Dr. Anagha was extremely cooperative, and her ability to understand patients is truly commendable. Dr. Prameela treated us like family; not even once did we feel like we were in a hospital. Her care and attention were exceptional, and we are very thankful to her. The way she explains things is very clear and comforting.
As for the therapists, Mr. Biju and Mr. Vinod were excellent. They provided heartfelt and effective treatment to both me and my father. Female therapists Aneesha and Adayiva were also extremely attentive, providing timely food and medicine. I sincerely thank them from the bottom of my heart. One area I feel needs improvement is the quality of food provided to patients. It could be enhanced to better suit the needs and expectations of those undergoing treatment.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone who may not have been mentioned by name, including the housekeeping team, for their support and service. Thank you all so much!

First, I want to thank the entire Vaidyagrama personnel for the loving care I received. My therapists, Bala, Beena, Karthika, Greeshma & Bindu were fantastic with my treatments. Their friendly smiles and professionalism contributed greatly to my healing. My junior doctors Dr. Rose, Dr. Sreya and Dr. Ardent, led by Dr. Ramanandan, were wonderful. Thank you for the attention and care you all gave me.
The first time I came to Vaidyagrama, I had no idea what Ayurvedic medicine was. My doctor at that time was Dr. Ramadas, who helped me overcome some past traumas. God does work in mysterious ways. Because I truly believe that my path to healing would not be where it is now if my emotional & mental health weren’t addressed first.
My second year here brought me to Dr. Ramanandan. Midway through my treatment, I realized that I felt relief from my chronic back pain. (I have severe scoliosis – curvature of the spine.) My main goal in trying Ayurveda was to find a way to prevent further deterioration as I age. At the end of my second stay, I saw that I was able to stand & sit straighter, and the chronic pain had lessened in intensity. This led me to make the decision to return for more treatments, followed by a rest period.
This year, my stay was for five weeks. I made a conscious effort to limit my socialization with other patients & stay in my room to rest. I feel relaxed, rejuvenated and at peace. Vaidyagrama is a special, healing environment, and I look forward to returning next year.
Again, many thanks to everyone who works there!

A transformational experience at Vaidyagrama! I recently completed a 14-day detox & weight-loss treatment at Vaidyagrama and can confidently say it was the most restorative & enriching health journey I have ever undertaken. The entire set-up at VG is thoughtfully designed to offer authentic Ayurvedic healing in a serene & natural setting.
The simplicity of the place, combined with a deep focus on holistic wellness, allows one to truly disconnect from the outside world & reconnect with the self. What stood out most during my stay was the calibre & compassion of the medical team. I'm particularly grateful to Dr. Ramanandan whose clarity, encouragement & patient counsel gave me the impetus to continue the program even when adapting to the Sattvic food was a challenge initially. I would also like to acknowledge Dr. Sreya, Dr. Rose & Dr. Arun who supported my daily treatment with warmth, empathy & professionalism. The staff across the board from therapists to housekeeping exude sincerity & care, creating an environment of safety conducive to healing.
I leave VG feeling lighter, more centred and deeply grateful. I strongly recommend VG for those seeking genuine Ayurvedic care.

It's been a wonderful time here for 18 days. Earlier, I was sceptical about coming here, but after coming, not even for a moment did I think of going back home. It was like I was lost in time; the best thing was no internet. I could get time for myself, which was an integral part of healing. Dr. Aruna really helped in guiding me before I could know anything about Vaidyagrama. She was unbiased and very clear with her treatment. Dr. Omprakash, Dr. Arsha also helped a lot in terms of motivating me every day (especially Dr. Arsha). Dr. Vinod was an exceptional person — the way he guided me and took care felt so healing and hope-giving. Therapists Aneesha, Greeshma, Shruthi, Vandana, Kalpana — all were so gracefully serving. Without their help I wouldn’t have healed. All were caring and patient.
The overall story of Vaidyagrama is amazing — They have combined the energy of cows, food, people, medicines, treatments — It is what made my healing journey so easy and joyful. Hare Krishna..

The best place to heal is definitely Vaidyagrama. My warm and heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the Vaidyagrama team. The stay was so comfortable and pleasant. My sincere thanks go to Dr. Ramanandam and his team, who helped me address all the issues I came with, and ensured that I overcame the small difficulties following treatment. The doctors and team were very clear about the protocols and treatments, taking ample time to listen to our concerns. I felt truly overwhelmed with the treatment and care bestowed here.
The atmosphere is blissful and serene—a perfect place for healing. I especially appreciate the care in arranging a wonderful stay for my seven‑year‑old son Advait. Everyone here was so welcoming and made him feel at home; he thoroughly enjoyed exploring and loved it. From Vaidyagrama I’m taking home so much to carry forward in my life. I'm leaving with immense satisfaction and gratitude.

Dearest Vaidyagrama, I cannot thank all the Vaidyas, Bhishaks, Therapists, cleaning staff, and working staff enough for all their love and care. The office staff is also so professional, gentle, caring and looks after us so well. These 21 days have been so beneficial for me, not only from a healthcare point of view, but also from a spiritual point of view.
Vaidyagrama truly works on your physical and mental health and treats the root cause of your suffering. This is the most authentic, genuine and healthy space one can be in. I will forever be grateful to everyone here for everything that this has done for me.

I came to Vaidyagrama for the first time as I was strongly recommended by a few friends who have benefited from this place. I was struggling with chronic gastric issues for over 5 years due to various reasons like busy lifestyle and restless life. I wanted to give a last try with ayurveda treatments as I did not completely recover through other treatments I had gone through over the years. For the first time I’m taking this kind of treatment and the first 3 days were crucial with my symptoms settling down slowly — my bowel movement started to become normal and I had a very relaxed 12 days with amazing people around. The doctors and the support staff were very caring and polite to help any time if I needed assistance. I will definitely complete the medicine course for 3 months as I have started a road to recovery. I believe I am starting to recover day by day and I’m thankful that I came here and took the treatment.

I have always had an interest in knowing more about the Ayurvedic lifestyle. I was referred to this program and Vaidyagrama by my husband, Ganesh. I was doubtful about myself on a program and treatment around this. My consultation with Dr. Vinod really helped me to get an idea and it comforted me to prepare for this. I planned for 11 days, and Dr. Vinod and his team tailored a structured treatment based on ailment, health condition and chronic situation. Thanks to Dr. Vinod and the team of Dr. Sreeji, Dr. Arsha with Dr. Omprakash. They created a personalized therapy which included the treatments, both internal and external.
I liked the whole experience; it is a treatment that is for body and soul. The food, which was cautiously prepared based on the diet and health condition, was helpful during the stay. I would say Vaidyagrama Wellness Centre is a wholesome experience to observe and absorb natural intelligence. I take the opportunity to thank therapists Beena Kalpana and their team Sruthi, Aneesha, Maya and Greeshma. They pampered us and explained about what they would be doing and were very supportive.
I am amazed that Vaidyagrama is not just focused on Ayurveda, but also expanding their service to the elderly care through Annam Project, the boys hostel and on top of it I had the experience of planting Tulsi plants and being part of the Trust activities. Thanks Dr. Vinod and team for the fulfilling experience.
A Food for Thought:
1. It would be helpful if the front desk, admin office understands about the patients’ schedule on their therapies, before planning on the orientation or other activities
2. Sometimes language is a barrier for the therapists & will be helpful if translators like Google App translation can be given to them to converse with non-English/ non-Tamil speaking patients.
Thanks for considering these suggestions.

A journey of relief and healing! I was on a 21‑day program at Vaidyagrama, and it has been a truly positive and healing experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt gently held by the calm and natural surroundings. The treatments are thoughtfully structured not only to relieve symptoms, but to address the underlying imbalances that cause pain. Every aspect of the routine, from the therapies to the food and even the silence, is designed to support deep healing.
I feel especially grateful to Dr. Ramanandan - his calm, confidence and clarity made me feel safe and reassured at every step. His thoughtful explanations and guidance gave me the conviction to stay the course, even when aspects like the diet were outside my comfort zone. I also want to thank Dr. Sreya, Dr. Rose and all the therapists for their gentle, consistent support—always accessible and deeply caring. What I've found here is not just treatment, but a nurturing environment that encourages self‑reflection and renewal.
Vaidyagrama has a way of slowing you down, helping you listen to your body, and gently bringing you back to balance. I’m thankful for this opportunity and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a natural, holistic approach to healing.

I am grateful to be here. Such a nice feeling, it looks like a very holy place. Every person is humble - Dr. Sreya, Dr. Rose, Dr. Ramanandan. Everyone is so concerned and really wants to help to any length. The staff are also so nice, girls who are doing treatment, cleaning people, and laundry people. Everyone is so dedicated to their work. I felt so good. The place is so calm. The birds, trees, rain, cold air and pathways give me a spiritual experience too. The temples and Pujas were amazing. I never saw pujas like this. The temple is so beautifully decorated. Cow Puja also felt so great in the heart -I felt old India come back again.
The food was a little difficult, but I did understand. Food is a medium of healing here, so I adjusted to that. Overall, life is good here. Will come again to enjoy the sattvic life here. Thank you so much, grateful to be here. Love you all.

This is a very good place to heal oneself, away from the noise and crowds of the city. To be amidst greenery and gentle quietness is healing not just for the body, but also for the mind, perfect and cleansing. Monsoon is the best time to visit, being amidst Nature during the ‘saavan’ month is ideal for meditation and reflection. “Om Namah Shivaya” - it is so peaceful.
I thank Dr. K. K. Harikrishnan once again helped me overcome my fears about my health, and his team of assisting doctors, who were always alert, friendly and answered all my queries. A very special thanks to the treatment team led by Laxmi, whom I have grown very fond of and found very understanding. Also to Vincy, Anitta, and little Jyotika, may they continue to do well.
Thank you, everyone.

We go back with fond memories of smiling faces all around. This was our first visit to Vaidyagrama & the ambience and surroundings were enchanting, and the serene atmosphere & the very cordial faces of the staff were themselves rejuvenating making you feel very healthy. Dr. Vinod & Dr. Prameela were patient & took pains to listen to us and understand the ailments. They very lucidly explained the treatments and prescribed the medicines. The therapists were also equally cheerful & helpful. Due to certain constraints, we were able to take only a week's therapy this time. We look forward to a longer stay in this delightful place.

My sincere gratitude to all the team (doctors, therapists, food providers, the cooks and cleaners) who so carefully and lovingly looked after me during these 21 cold and rainy/ windy days. The treatment was blissful, for it allowed me to come to a still point beneath the surface noise, the thoughts and emotions. It is a kind of surrendering (to use Dr. Ramadas’ word), not a giving up, but a letting go; letting go of the need to know, to control or to become so that something deeper begins to open and a simplicity is uncovered. It brings humility, joy and a deep trust. A reticule of gratitude blooms in my heart for everyone and everything in this beautiful community as a whole.

For so many years, it felt like I was on a roller coaster – pursuing matters of the mind & body, some with temporary ‘success’ and other times feeling quite unsure of the path forward. Whatever forces conspired to bring me to Vaidyagrama, I feel completely grateful. I admire the ethos and values you abide by & more than anything, the genuine knowledge & application of our ancient, fabulous, time-tested practices of Ayurveda.
While my time here wasn’t always smooth, with unexpected pop-ups, what was consistent was your collective support & optimism. Beyond the treatments & medicine, I received love & care & security – all needed ingredients in the ongoing healing. To all my therapists: Unnimaya, Nimmi, Seema, Bindu, Beena, Arunima, Bala, Shoba, Semeena, Kalpana and others – they saw me at my most vulnerable & still took so much interest in helping me. Hugs & Love to you all – you are angels!
To my doctors: Dr. Sajna, Dr. Ardent, Dr. Sreya, Dr. Rose, Dr. Arun - I know my journey here kept you on your toes. Thank you for always being gentle, patient & kind, answering, reassuring, and supporting. I wish I could bring you all back - you’re truly gifted. Dr. Ramanandan - You’ve encouraged me to boost my health, also my confidence & I truly appreciate that – and need to! You are a true professional, expert in your craft, methodical in your approach. I thank you deeply for being my guide. Please keep in touch - you’re now part of my family.
P.S. Please pass my thanks to housekeeping – Vasantamani akka, her beautiful, daily gift of flowers – she made my day.
Love,

Vaidyagrama is an excellent ayurvedic retreat and hospital with fine stay ambience, yet homely comfort. The doctors who attended were attentive, and paid attention to details. There were several visits a day and intense monitoring of well-being. The staff in the treatment rooms were superb. They were kind, careful, and thorough. The cleaning team, laundry staff, the other support staff were also excellent. No single person can be pointed out as less. All were excellent. The food was fresh, hot and nourishing. Some more salt, spices, and lemon juice is definitely welcome. The free internet given thrice a day in common areas can be given in rooms. All together, a very pleasant stay.

To my doctors: Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Rose and to all the therapists Greeshma, Femila, Seema, Devaki. Thank you so much for your attention, care and kindness. You all were so supportive and encouraging during our stay here. Thank you for holding such a healing space, for all the quiet work you do to restore balance in people’s lives. This space allows rest to be sacred and celebrates slowing down—something desperately needed as the world puts heavy emphasis on a fast-paced life, the cost of which is self-neglect.
I will carry these teachings and this experience with me and am grateful for this opportunity, allowing me to reflect and re-establish patterns. Thank you for your love and attention and for bringing such valuable insight into people’s lives.
To Dr Rose - I just wanted to take a moment to personally thank you for the kindness, attentiveness and warmth you for the kindness, and warmth you brought to every interaction with our stay at Vaidyagrama. Your presence truly made a positive impact on our healing journey. There was something unexpectedly comforting in knowing that you were truly paying attention not just to symptoms but to us a real people, and you made us feel seen, heard, and cared for. Thank you for checking in so often, for remembering the small things, and for bringing such warmth and joy. Wishing you continued joy in the work you do and hoping many more people get to experience the healing process you often do so naturally.
Thank you to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Rose – Special thank you, Devaki, Greeshma, Seema, Bhagyam, Sujatha ji, Aparna ji, Athira ji, Geeta ji, Krishnakumar ji.

Vaidya grama, a home away from home. This is a very special place. The doctors, therapists, and all the staff are all excellent at their profession and are helpful and loving people. Many years ago, I recovered from an illness after my sessions at Vaidyagrama. And now, I have learned how to live more in balance. And to help me to do that, I occasionally return to Vaidyagrama for their treatments and magic. Vaidyagrama is not just an ayurvedic centre. It is also a community and a family of people who are doing a great service for the world. I have much gratitude and respect for their amazing project and amazing people.
Thank you so much…

As I come to the end of my second stay at Vaidyagrama, I am extremely grateful for the incredible attention & care showered on me by everyone I have encountered. This was a super short stay (5 days) during which I changed rooms, met several therapists and doctors, but remained under the care of Dr. Ramadas. Doctors - Renjisha, Arun & Anjali - all attended to me at various times & were diligent & extremely helpful. Despite being a very short stay, it was a great idea to come & consult for my various concerns. I leave rejuvenated and refreshed with a bagful of meds and symptoms already abating! Thanks to all who accompanied me on this journey.

Our stay at Vaidyagrama was transformative from the moment we stepped in. We felt the warmth and kindness from everyone here - from Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Arsha, Dr. Sreeji, to all the therapists and the housekeeping staff were very kind, helpful and supportive. The treatment for my aunt and me was tailored with our need to be cured. My aunt and I saw differences in us from the very first treatment - We felt lighter, more balanced and rejuvenated. The food was nourishing, simple yet powerful, in the healing effect. The entire environment was calm, with its natural beauty allowing us to slow down and reflect. I will always remember my time here fondly.

Dear Vaidyagrama team, Today, as we are packing to leave, I have mixed feelings; certainly, the joy of going back into our comfort zone, our home, is foremost, but we will miss this blissful environment. My appreciation for the entire staff, their motivation and dedication is perceivable. Our special gratitude to the ‘Illam 2’ therapists, who tirelessly served us for these 15 days. Our appreciation for the housekeeping staff for their services. Our most sincere Namaskarams to the doctors who have taken care of us like as if we were part of the family. They paid attention to every detail and took care of us in every manner possible. We are grateful to Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Mojin, and also other doctors. Beyond the medical treatment in Vaidyagrama, it was a spiritual awakening in a great measure.

I am coming to this hospital for the first time. All the staff here are really good. The doctors are very knowledgeable and caring. The treatments done here are excellent, and I would like to come and take treatment here again as well. We felt the fresh air and a pleasant environment, which is beautiful to see. Regarding the food, it could be improved a little.

I came here to heal my body, but did not know that Vaidyagrama would heal my mind and spirit too! I have learnt so much here – this beautiful heaven has connected me to my roots and also shown me a way to a much better, healthier & happier future. The greenery, serenity and love encompass the entire campus, and every member of the VG family, and you quickly become a part of it. Nobody seems stressed! You realise how simple and wonderful life is, how we unnecessarily complicate it, and how going forward that is the way to be!
My immense and heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Ardent, all the wonderful therapists especially Kalpana, Vasanthamani; and admin Athira, Sukanya and Aparna. A special thanks to Dr. Ramadas for starting & ending the day with the most magnificent wisdom & prayers to God. Thank you, God bless. I’ll be back soon.
P.S. I love the music playing – kindly expand the playlist. Also please keep a few books on Ayurveda in the library. Thanks!

After facing many illnesses & issues for the last few years, I was looking for something that would help me stop taking so many medicines & put my mind at ease. I was hoping VG would do that for me for the few weeks I’m here. Little did I realise, it would help do it maybe for life – giving me a set of sustainable principles for a healthier living.
A big thank you to Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Sreeji & Dr. Rahul for always being there to answer my questions. Big thank you to the Cluster 5 therapists and support staff for a seamless experience. Creating a space that fosters self-reflection, mindfulness and a fertile ground for change requires a lot of intention, care & thoughtfulness. I’m lucky I’ve found VG to support me in my journey. I'm sure I will come again soon.
Big thank you & lots of love,

I have been here for 1 week. As my wife was already here before, I did not have any difficulty in activities, attending all prayers & treatment schedules. I would suggest Vaidyagrama to have an orientation as soon as a person arrives. This would help the person to navigate & get the best effect of the programs & the atmosphere Vaidyagrama can provide.
My experience was very good. The staff is very good & courteous. The doctors are very good & knowledgeable & are always ready to help. Our interaction with Dr. Harikumar was very meaningful & very informative. All the other doctors like Dr. Pavitra, Dr. Om Prakash were always helpful & cheerful. The food is good & sumptuous. I feel the food can improve with a variety of local cuisines. Overall a wonderful experience. Worth visiting again & again. Thank you Vaidyagrama for everything.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
As the three of us stepped into Vaidyagrama filled with anticipation, excitement and apprehension; three weeks sounded like eternity to us, but soon this felt like home amidst a family. The sounds of Nature and greenery, with the sounds of the birds and peacocks, added to the allure to become our most cherished memories to carry back home.
Dr. Ramadas' resonating voice filled us every morning with the prayers. The different homams and prayers have been very calming and have added to our spiritual energy. The satsangs with the different Vaidyas helped us to gain knowledge on different aspects of Ayurveda. Special mention of the calm and knowledgeable Dr. Harikumar, who at times we felt could read into our very souls. He made us reflect on our thought process and priorities. We are very thankful to all the doctors, especially Dr. Pavithra, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Mojin and Dr. Anjali.
Extremely grateful for the personal care and concern that they showed for our well-being. Here we would like to mention a special thanks to Jyothika and Sandhya, not leaving behind our lovely therapists Vincy, Prema, Hema, Sandhya and Jyothika Anu.
While we may not have addressed everybody, their faces, along with their kindness and smiles, are forever etched in our hearts. We are leaving with a heavy heart, but holding on and looking forward to returning to continue our health journey with you. On a lighter note, we hope the daily menu, especially dinner, offers more variety to keep us satiated.
Thanking Everyone..Love,

Dearest Vaidyagrama, A part of me does not want to leave this heaven that has sheltered and protected me for these 3 weeks, so that I could heal. Here one feels like a child being cared for by a family. It is as though everyone is standing around you, praying together for you to heal. There is so much thoroughness that has gone into each and everything, from the architecture to the way food is served, how treatments are explained, and each Vaidya monitors you closely to ensure your well-being.
Everyone is loving and kind, and I will miss this the most. It is thus a community of caring, the only place in the world perhaps that helps one heal.
In gratitude with a bow and a smile,

This is my first time at Vaidyagrama. It has been a short visit, just a 3-day stay, and an introduction to this place and the world of Ayurveda. Though brief, it has been enough for me to see how wonderful this place is and to confidently recommend it to others. The doctors are knowledgeable, experienced and kind, with an exceptional ability to understand their patients. Everyone here is good-natured, kind and always ready to help. The place is clean, well-maintained, and the sights and sounds of Nature help one truly relax.
Last but not least, this beautiful, self-sufficient place is a shining example to learn from, with its eco-friendly practices integrated into every aspect of daily life. I feel fortunate to have been here and to have met Dr. Ramadas and all the wonderful people and patients. I will definitely be coming again for a longer stay next time. Thank you to everyone here.

My brother and I, along with our parents, spent 8 days on a retreat here to reset & recharge, and to address some minor issues. Vaidyagrama exceeded our expectations! The stay was very comfortable, clean and spacious! Thanks to the housekeeping staff for their dedication and hard work, ensuring the rooms, beds and bathroom were all set for our comfortable stay! Special thanks to Ebison and Greeshma, the support staff, for providing our meals/medicines and water on schedule, round the clock, with a smiling face! They were the first and last people we would see daily, and their service cheered us up immensely! Special gratitude from all of us towards the therapist staff – Vinod, Shoba, Shiny, Libin, Ritish, Gireesh, Sasi... (I am sure I am missing others)! Their courtesy, kindness and caring made each session a healing experience! Special shoutout to Lalu-ettan! May you continue to do the good work with Mother Earth, and reap bountiful harvest year after year! Dr. Arun – Thank you so much for everything. You took care of all our needs, including small things (like a tea recipe) and big things. Thanks for taking the time to explain in detail the modality and to listen to our perspectives! Dr. Hima, Dr. Arsha – Thank you for your care of our mother! Our best wishes and blessings!
Some feedback on logistics & admin items – Given our background in technology, we felt there is an opportunity to integrate front office, back office and patient management systems, to streamline paper processes, and to enable seamless communication and limit redundant work. Happy to share more on this topic if interested.
Yoga Nidra is awesome. More people should become aware of it and participate in the session. Please provide audio/video recording in Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi, for Indian patients who may not understand English instructions fully. You can use a headset for specific language instructions.
Thank you!

Thank you for a wonderful stay. It's so rare to see every single person here at Vaidyagrama invested in your well-being and healing. Special thanks to Dr. Rose, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Ardent & the therapists Bala & team. We will miss this serene environment. Our stay felt healing because of the attentive care of Dr. Rose. Her ever-positive, calming presence was a balm on even the most difficult days of Panchakarma. She makes us want to return. Vaidyagrama is special in many ways, and we wish the team all the success & growth.

A warm and heartfelt thanks to the Vaidyagrama family, with whom I was blessed to be a part of for these past three weeks. The care, attention and gentle culture of this peaceful heaven really shine through, and leave one feeling truly soul-nourished. The Satsangs helped me to understand where my internal imbalances lie and have inspired me to make the required changes in my lifestyle in simple yet important ways. Dr. Ramkumar’s Satsangs were particularly insightful, and I feel truly grateful for his Vision and implementation of this incredible paradise.
Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Rose, Dr. Ardent & Dr. Sreya have been so good in every way. The therapists, especially Kalpana, Beena & Bindu, were extremely tuned in and well trained — always smiling and helpful. Even the cleaning lady Bhagyam is delightful. Dr. Ramadas’ powerful prayers and magnetic presence lent a lot to the magic of this place. I will carry with me and treasure the memory of this wonderful healing experience in the midst of this pristine environment.
My gratitude for the caring support of Aparna & Athira as well as to all the staff and doctors. May all the initiatives flourish and bring love and light to the lives of many.

Hari Om!
The treatment started with online consultation with Dr. Renjisha. After listening to health concerns, she said we can address these symptoms by improving my digestion. I arrived at Vaidyagrama about 2 weeks later and met Dr. Renjisha in person. Then the 21-day treatment started. Powders, potlies, oils, kashayams, prayers in the form of chanting, puja, homa, learning in the form of presentations & satsangs filled these days. Here we are encouraged to be alert to our hunger, our thirst, our sleep cycles, our breath & of course evacuations. I met Dr. Renjisha mornings & evenings and discussed these things & other areas of my life. Over time, I realised it was Lord Dhanvantari appearing before me. I see her and breathe easier. She said we are giving medicines now, but the goal is to eventually be off the medicine. I have saved our conversations in my mind to reflect on when I return and to remind me of how to care for my body. Dr. Arsha similarly guided me.
For people who can travel here and who are ready to make lifestyle changes, it is worthwhile to have treatment at Vaidyagrama.

It was a great experience. The staff, doctors, therapists, housekeeping people are so kind in treating us. They are very humble and gave proper responses to everything. Handled with various doctors like Vinod, Dr. Arun, Dr. Arsha, Dr. Hima, Dr. Renjisha, and I’m sorry if I have missed someone. All are very polite and gave proper treatment, and whenever we call, we get excellent responses at all times. I want to express heartfelt thanks to them. The therapist, especially on night duty, Arya, was very kind and responded properly whenever necessary. Special thanks to Libin, Ratheesh, Mithun and others who took care of me during treatment. Medicines come on time, and rooms are neat & clean. Food also comes on time. The only thing is – ‘Kindly improve Kanji, all other foods are manageable except Kanji.’ The man who is doing pooja at the Temple is excellent. I came across various people here, all were good to us. So grateful to Vaidyagrama. The environment is eco-friendly. Overall experience is excellent — quite valuable. Thank you

Thank you to everyone here at Vaidyagrama. My stay has felt like a total body (and mind) reset. The first thing I noticed here was the lack of distractions – the only sounds were the rustle of leaves, the chirping of the birds, or the pooja chanting – all of it very soothing and nourishing. I even saw a peacock from the room. It has been so refreshing to be so close to Nature. I have learned many new things – especially about food. It was surprising to find how little food is really necessary.
Thank you to Dr. Arun and to Dr. Renjisha for taking the time to talk about my concerns and to explain. All the therapists have also been extremely good and considerate. I now have the confidence that I’ll be able to put all these learnings to use back home and am looking forward to continuing the healing journey. Thank you for making my stay comfortable, enriching and the beginning of a healthier lifestyle. Thank you

I have been in a lot of pain for more than five years now. Somewhere along the way, I had to accept that life was going to be this way. I’m still not sure if the pain will ever go away fully. But for the first time in five years, I did not feel inhibited by it. It did not come in the way of my seeking joy. And that’s because I knew there were people to catch me if I fell. Arya, who does her job with so much love and gentleness… Her presence alone was enough to make me feel at home. Anagha, both whimsical and hardworking, her lightness is contagious. Jagathy Amma, who cleaned my chaotic room every day with so much patience. Dr. Ramanandan, whose quiet presence and gentle contemplation changed the pace of my days. And most importantly, Sajna, who gave me something larger than words can ever explain.
And my dear Ponnu, thanks for the love received every single day! Thank you all for letting me love you and thank you for returning some of that love.

This was my first visit to Vaidyagrama. I stayed here for 12 days, and throughout this time, we truly appreciated the way we were treated. I want to sincerely thank everyone who took care of us. For the first time, I felt like I could even be pampered this much. The environment around us was very friendly, and everyone was always ready to help. The staff who gave us treatments were wonderful, and the housekeeping team did an excellent job keeping our room clean and tidy. Last but not least, our doctors – Dr. Prameela and Dr. Harikrishnan were extremely kind and caring. The way they treat patients is so compassionate, that one starts feeling better just by listening to their words. Thank you for all the love and care you gave us. It will remain in our memories forever. We will definitely recommend Vaidyagrama to others.

For some time now, I have been drawn to the idea of integrating Ayurvedic practices into my life. My recent stay at Vaidyagrama has not only nurtured the seed of this new path – scientifically and holistically – it confirmed the deep, strong work I know will continue to form deeply.
A special note of gratitude to Dr. Omprakash – His attentiveness, optimism and cheerful, practical approach were instrumental in making Ayurveda feel both accessible and sustainable for me, as I prepare to return home. His exceptional organisation of Vaidyagrama Cluster 5, even during the annual rotation of staff, was evident. I deeply appreciated his sensitivity in helping to improve my comfort, and his daily willingness to educate & patiently answer my questions will stay with me.
I am also very thankful to Dr. Sreeji for her proactive care and kindness in virtually consulting with my father, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Her support from afar will continue to mean very much to our family. Dr. Arsha impressed me with her clarity and thoroughness in communication and her consistent, thoughtful follow-ups – both of which added great comfort during my treatments. Dr. Rahul, though I only interacted with him towards the end of my stay, left a lasting impression through his quiet diligence and genuine kindness.
Beyond my immediate care team, I also had meaningful exchanges with Dr. Ramkumar and Dr. Vinod. Though our conversations weren’t directly related to my treatment, they deepened my respect for the entire team of Vaidyas at Vaidyagrama. The people who have left the most indelible mark on me are the many therapists involved in our treatments and day-to-day routines – their warmth, thoroughness, and consistency in Sindhu’s proactive leadership, to the healing hands of Femila and Kavita, to the gentleness of Sruthi, Princy & Nimmy – the therapists held my hand and treated me with immense care and healing energy. This is the most relaxed I have ever been in my life.
As for Vaidyagrama itself – there is something truly Visionary here – as Dr. Ramkumar often says, it is not about creating perfection – but the goal of perseverance for cultivating an ever-evolving, deeply intentional space for healing is visible in every corner. From its emphasis on community and holistic health, to its focus on sustainable, locally grown food and products, to its thoughtful integration of spirituality, this place is a marvel. From Mr. Shivachaitanya the co-manager of farming, to Mr. Sivaprakash the HR manager, every single person here embodies its philosophy. Though I often travel to remote areas far from cities to reconnect with nature, my time at Vaidyagrama has been unlike anything I have ever experienced. The broader initiatives like Balagrama, Lakshmigrama are future proof of the far-reaching impact of this incredible Vision.
I loved the food! I learned a lot at Satsangs. I thoroughly enjoyed connecting with people going on their Ayurvedic journeys. I loved planting my own little custard apple plant behind NG8.
Until next time, with sincere gratitude…

I, Prasad Hirachand Pingale, am from Maharashtra. I came to Vaidyagrama along with my sister and father. Both my father and sister had taken treatment here in 2023, and based on their positive experiences, they recommended that I come here as well. Upon arrival at the airport, we were warmly received by Mr. Ramaswamy, the driver arranged by Vaidyagrama. He made our journey very comfortable, which gave me a very good first impression.
After reaching Vaidyagrama, we were allotted rooms 310 and 311. I was very happy to see the rooms were well-maintained and clean. However, I did face some issues with the toilet in my room. The flush had to be repaired four times within four days. I would kindly suggest that the bathroom maintenance be improved.
The doctors at Vaidyagrama are very dedicated and caring. Dr. Ramanandan took care of my father, and Dr. Harikumar was responsible for my treatment. Both are kind, knowledgeable and generous. Dr. Anagha was extremely cooperative, and her ability to understand patients is truly commendable. Dr. Prameela treated us like family; not even once did we feel like we were in a hospital. Her care and attention were exceptional, and we are very thankful to her. The way she explains things is very clear and comforting.
As for the therapists, Mr. Biju and Mr. Vinod were excellent. They provided heartfelt and effective treatment to both me and my father. Female therapists Aneesha and Adayiva were also extremely attentive, providing timely food and medicine. I sincerely thank them from the bottom of my heart. One area I feel needs improvement is the quality of food provided to patients. It could be enhanced to better suit the needs and expectations of those undergoing treatment.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone who may not have been mentioned by name, including the housekeeping team, for their support and service. Thank you all so much!

First, I want to thank the entire Vaidyagrama personnel for the loving care I received. My therapists, Bala, Beena, Karthika, Greeshma & Bindu were fantastic with my treatments. Their friendly smiles and professionalism contributed greatly to my healing. My junior doctors Dr. Rose, Dr. Sreya and Dr. Ardent, led by Dr. Ramanandan, were wonderful. Thank you for the attention and care you all gave me.
The first time I came to Vaidyagrama, I had no idea what Ayurvedic medicine was. My doctor at that time was Dr. Ramadas, who helped me overcome some past traumas. God does work in mysterious ways. Because I truly believe that my path to healing would not be where it is now if my emotional & mental health weren’t addressed first.
My second year here brought me to Dr. Ramanandan. Midway through my treatment, I realized that I felt relief from my chronic back pain. (I have severe scoliosis – curvature of the spine.) My main goal in trying Ayurveda was to find a way to prevent further deterioration as I age. At the end of my second stay, I saw that I was able to stand & sit straighter, and the chronic pain had lessened in intensity. This led me to make the decision to return for more treatments, followed by a rest period.
This year, my stay was for five weeks. I made a conscious effort to limit my socialization with other patients & stay in my room to rest. I feel relaxed, rejuvenated and at peace. Vaidyagrama is a special, healing environment, and I look forward to returning next year.
Again, many thanks to everyone who works there!

A transformational experience at Vaidyagrama! I recently completed a 14-day detox & weight-loss treatment at Vaidyagrama and can confidently say it was the most restorative & enriching health journey I have ever undertaken. The entire set-up at VG is thoughtfully designed to offer authentic Ayurvedic healing in a serene & natural setting.
The simplicity of the place, combined with a deep focus on holistic wellness, allows one to truly disconnect from the outside world & reconnect with the self. What stood out most during my stay was the calibre & compassion of the medical team. I'm particularly grateful to Dr. Ramanandan whose clarity, encouragement & patient counsel gave me the impetus to continue the program even when adapting to the Sattvic food was a challenge initially. I would also like to acknowledge Dr. Sreya, Dr. Rose & Dr. Arun who supported my daily treatment with warmth, empathy & professionalism. The staff across the board from therapists to housekeeping exude sincerity & care, creating an environment of safety conducive to healing.
I leave VG feeling lighter, more centred and deeply grateful. I strongly recommend VG for those seeking genuine Ayurvedic care.

It's been a wonderful time here for 18 days. Earlier, I was sceptical about coming here, but after coming, not even for a moment did I think of going back home. It was like I was lost in time; the best thing was no internet. I could get time for myself, which was an integral part of healing. Dr. Aruna really helped in guiding me before I could know anything about Vaidyagrama. She was unbiased and very clear with her treatment. Dr. Omprakash, Dr. Arsha also helped a lot in terms of motivating me every day (especially Dr. Arsha). Dr. Vinod was an exceptional person — the way he guided me and took care felt so healing and hope-giving. Therapists Aneesha, Greeshma, Shruthi, Vandana, Kalpana — all were so gracefully serving. Without their help I wouldn’t have healed. All were caring and patient.
The overall story of Vaidyagrama is amazing — They have combined the energy of cows, food, people, medicines, treatments — It is what made my healing journey so easy and joyful. Hare Krishna..

The best place to heal is definitely Vaidyagrama. My warm and heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the Vaidyagrama team. The stay was so comfortable and pleasant. My sincere thanks go to Dr. Ramanandam and his team, who helped me address all the issues I came with, and ensured that I overcame the small difficulties following treatment. The doctors and team were very clear about the protocols and treatments, taking ample time to listen to our concerns. I felt truly overwhelmed with the treatment and care bestowed here.
The atmosphere is blissful and serene—a perfect place for healing. I especially appreciate the care in arranging a wonderful stay for my seven‑year‑old son Advait. Everyone here was so welcoming and made him feel at home; he thoroughly enjoyed exploring and loved it. From Vaidyagrama I’m taking home so much to carry forward in my life. I'm leaving with immense satisfaction and gratitude.
Thank you.

Dearest Vaidyagrama, I cannot thank all the Vaidyas, Bhishaks, Therapists, cleaning staff, and working staff enough for all their love and care. The office staff is also so professional, gentle, caring and looks after us so well. These 21 days have been so beneficial for me, not only from a healthcare point of view, but also from a spiritual point of view.
Vaidyagrama truly works on your physical and mental health and treats the root cause of your suffering. This is the most authentic, genuine and healthy space one can be in. I will forever be grateful to everyone here for everything that this has done for me.
Many loves and respect to all,

I came to Vaidyagrama for the first time as I was strongly recommended by a few friends who have benefited from this place. I was struggling with chronic gastric issues for over 5 years due to various reasons like busy lifestyle and restless life. I wanted to give a last try with ayurveda treatments as I did not completely recover through other treatments I had gone through over the years. For the first time I’m taking this kind of treatment and the first 3 days were crucial with my symptoms settling down slowly — my bowel movement started to become normal and I had a very relaxed 12 days with amazing people around. The doctors and the support staff were very caring and polite to help any time if I needed assistance. I will definitely complete the medicine course for 3 months as I have started a road to recovery. I believe I am starting to recover day by day and I’m thankful that I came here and took the treatment.

I have always had an interest in knowing more about the Ayurvedic lifestyle. I was referred to this program and Vaidyagrama by my husband, Ganesh. I was doubtful about myself on a program and treatment around this. My consultation with Dr. Vinod really helped me to get an idea and it comforted me to prepare for this. I planned for 11 days, and Dr. Vinod and his team tailored a structured treatment based on ailment, health condition and chronic situation. Thanks to Dr. Vinod and the team of Dr. Sreeji, Dr. Arsha with Dr. Omprakash. They created a personalized therapy which included the treatments, both internal and external.
I liked the whole experience; it is a treatment that is for body and soul. The food, which was cautiously prepared based on the diet and health condition, was helpful during the stay. I would say Vaidyagrama Wellness Centre is a wholesome experience to observe and absorb natural intelligence. I take the opportunity to thank therapists Beena Kalpana and their team Sruthi, Aneesha, Maya and Greeshma. They pampered us and explained about what they would be doing and were very supportive.
I am amazed that Vaidyagrama is not just focused on Ayurveda, but also expanding their service to the elderly care through Annam Project, the boys hostel and on top of it I had the experience of planting Tulsi plants and being part of the Trust activities. Thanks Dr. Vinod and team for the fulfilling experience.
A Food for Thought:
1. It would be helpful if the front desk, admin office understands about the patients’ schedule on their therapies, before planning on the orientation or other activities
2. Sometimes language is a barrier for the therapists & will be helpful if translators like Google App translation can be given to them to converse with non-English/ non-Tamil speaking patients.
Thanks for considering these suggestions.

A journey of relief and healing! I was on a 21‑day program at Vaidyagrama, and it has been a truly positive and healing experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt gently held by the calm and natural surroundings. The treatments are thoughtfully structured not only to relieve symptoms, but to address the underlying imbalances that cause pain. Every aspect of the routine, from the therapies to the food and even the silence, is designed to support deep healing.
I feel especially grateful to Dr. Ramanandan - his calm, confidence and clarity made me feel safe and reassured at every step. His thoughtful explanations and guidance gave me the conviction to stay the course, even when aspects like the diet were outside my comfort zone. I also want to thank Dr. Sreya, Dr. Rose and all the therapists for their gentle, consistent support—always accessible and deeply caring. What I've found here is not just treatment, but a nurturing environment that encourages self‑reflection and renewal.
Vaidyagrama has a way of slowing you down, helping you listen to your body, and gently bringing you back to balance. I’m thankful for this opportunity and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a natural, holistic approach to healing.

I am grateful to be here. Such a nice feeling, it looks like a very holy place. Every person is humble - Dr. Sreya, Dr. Rose, Dr. Ramanandan. Everyone is so concerned and really wants to help to any length. The staff are also so nice, girls who are doing treatment, cleaning people, and laundry people. Everyone is so dedicated to their work. I felt so good. The place is so calm. The birds, trees, rain, cold air and pathways give me a spiritual experience too. The temples and Pujas were amazing. I never saw pujas like this. The temple is so beautifully decorated. Cow Puja also felt so great in the heart -I felt old India come back again.
The food was a little difficult, but I did understand. Food is a medium of healing here, so I adjusted to that. Overall, life is good here. Will come again to enjoy the sattvic life here. Thank you so much, grateful to be here. Love you all.

Thank you for your patience with us, for calmly helping us understand, and for building our trust in the institution and in you. We are also extremely grateful to the therapy staff, admin team and cleaning staff—they’re gentle, welcoming and so dedicated to their work.

This is a very good place to heal oneself, away from the noise and crowds of the city. To be amidst greenery and gentle quietness is healing not just for the body, but also for the mind, perfect and cleansing. Monsoon is the best time to visit, being amidst Nature during the ‘saavan’ month is ideal for meditation and reflection. “Om Namah Shivaya” - it is so peaceful.
I thank Dr. K. K. Harikrishnan once again helped me overcome my fears about my health, and his team of assisting doctors, who were always alert, friendly and answered all my queries. A very special thanks to the treatment team led by Laxmi, whom I have grown very fond of and found very understanding. Also to Vincy, Anitta, and little Jyotika, may they continue to do well.
Thank you, everyone.

We go back with fond memories of smiling faces all around. This was our first visit to Vaidyagrama & the ambience and surroundings were enchanting, and the serene atmosphere & the very cordial faces of the staff were themselves rejuvenating making you feel very healthy. Dr. Vinod & Dr. Prameela were patient & took pains to listen to us and understand the ailments. They very lucidly explained the treatments and prescribed the medicines. The therapists were also equally cheerful & helpful. Due to certain constraints, we were able to take only a week's therapy this time. We look forward to a longer stay in this delightful place.

My sincere gratitude to all the team (doctors, therapists, food providers, the cooks and cleaners) who so carefully and lovingly looked after me during these 21 cold and rainy/ windy days. The treatment was blissful, for it allowed me to come to a still point beneath the surface noise, the thoughts and emotions. It is a kind of surrendering (to use Dr. Ramadas’ word), not a giving up, but a letting go; letting go of the need to know, to control or to become so that something deeper begins to open and a simplicity is uncovered. It brings humility, joy and a deep trust. A reticule of gratitude blooms in my heart for everyone and everything in this beautiful community as a whole.

For so many years, it felt like I was on a roller coaster – pursuing matters of the mind & body, some with temporary ‘success’ and other times feeling quite unsure of the path forward. Whatever forces conspired to bring me to Vaidyagrama, I feel completely grateful. I admire the ethos and values you abide by & more than anything, the genuine knowledge & application of our ancient, fabulous, time-tested practices of Ayurveda.
While my time here wasn’t always smooth, with unexpected pop-ups, what was consistent was your collective support & optimism. Beyond the treatments & medicine, I received love & care & security – all needed ingredients in the ongoing healing. To all my therapists: Unnimaya, Nimmi, Seema, Bindu, Beena, Arunima, Bala, Shoba, Semeena, Kalpana and others – they saw me at my most vulnerable & still took so much interest in helping me. Hugs & Love to you all – you are angels!
To my doctors: Dr. Sajna, Dr. Ardent, Dr. Sreya, Dr. Rose, Dr. Arun - I know my journey here kept you on your toes. Thank you for always being gentle, patient & kind, answering, reassuring, and supporting. I wish I could bring you all back - you’re truly gifted. Dr. Ramanandan - You’ve encouraged me to boost my health, also my confidence & I truly appreciate that – and need to! You are a true professional, expert in your craft, methodical in your approach. I thank you deeply for being my guide. Please keep in touch - you’re now part of my family.
P.S. Please pass my thanks to housekeeping – Vasantamani akka, her beautiful, daily gift of flowers – she made my day.

Vaidyagrama is an excellent ayurvedic retreat and hospital with fine stay ambience, yet homely comfort. The doctors who attended were attentive, and paid attention to details. There were several visits a day and intense monitoring of well-being. The staff in the treatment rooms were superb. They were kind, careful, and thorough. The cleaning team, laundry staff, the other support staff were also excellent. No single person can be pointed out as less. All were excellent. The food was fresh, hot and nourishing. Some more salt, spices, and lemon juice is definitely welcome. The free internet given thrice a day in common areas can be given in rooms. All together, a very pleasant stay.

To my doctors: Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Rose and to all the therapists Greeshma, Femila, Seema, Devaki. Thank you so much for your attention, care and kindness. You all were so supportive and encouraging during our stay here. Thank you for holding such a healing space, for all the quiet work you do to restore balance in people’s lives. This space allows rest to be sacred and celebrates slowing down—something desperately needed as the world puts heavy emphasis on a fast-paced life, the cost of which is self-neglect.
I will carry these teachings and this experience with me and am grateful for this opportunity, allowing me to reflect and re-establish patterns. Thank you for your love and attention and for bringing such valuable insight into people’s lives.
To Dr Rose - I just wanted to take a moment to personally thank you for the kindness, attentiveness and warmth you for the kindness, and warmth you brought to every interaction with our stay at Vaidyagrama. Your presence truly made a positive impact on our healing journey. There was something unexpectedly comforting in knowing that you were truly paying attention not just to symptoms but to us a real people, and you made us feel seen, heard, and cared for. Thank you for checking in so often, for remembering the small things, and for bringing such warmth and joy. Wishing you continued joy in the work you do and hoping many more people get to experience the healing process you often do so naturally.
Thank you to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Rose – Special thank you, Devaki, Greeshma, Seema, Bhagyam, Sujatha ji, Aparna ji, Athira ji, Geeta ji, Krishnakumar ji.

Vaidya grama, a home away from home. This is a very special place. The doctors, therapists, and all the staff are all excellent at their profession and are helpful and loving people. Many years ago, I recovered from an illness after my sessions at Vaidyagrama. And now, I have learned how to live more in balance. And to help me to do that, I occasionally return to Vaidyagrama for their treatments and magic. Vaidyagrama is not just an ayurvedic centre. It is also a community and a family of people who are doing a great service for the world. I have much gratitude and respect for their amazing project and amazing people.
Thank you so much…

As I come to the end of my second stay at Vaidyagrama, I am extremely grateful for the incredible attention & care showered on me by everyone I have encountered. This was a super short stay (5 days) during which I changed rooms, met several therapists and doctors, but remained under the care of Dr. Ramadas. Doctors - Renjisha, Arun & Anjali - all attended to me at various times & were diligent & extremely helpful. Despite being a very short stay, it was a great idea to come & consult for my various concerns. I leave rejuvenated and refreshed with a bagful of meds and symptoms already abating! Thanks to all who accompanied me on this journey.

Our stay at Vaidyagrama was transformative from the moment we stepped in. We felt the warmth and kindness from everyone here - from Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Arsha, Dr. Sreeji, to all the therapists and the housekeeping staff were very kind, helpful and supportive. The treatment for my aunt and me was tailored with our need to be cured. My aunt and I saw differences in us from the very first treatment - We felt lighter, more balanced and rejuvenated. The food was nourishing, simple yet powerful, in the healing effect. The entire environment was calm, with its natural beauty allowing us to slow down and reflect. I will always remember my time here fondly.

Dear Vaidyagrama team, Today, as we are packing to leave, I have mixed feelings; certainly, the joy of going back into our comfort zone, our home, is foremost, but we will miss this blissful environment. My appreciation for the entire staff, their motivation and dedication is perceivable. Our special gratitude to the ‘Illam 2’ therapists, who tirelessly served us for these 15 days. Our appreciation for the housekeeping staff for their services. Our most sincere Namaskarams to the doctors who have taken care of us like as if we were part of the family. They paid attention to every detail and took care of us in every manner possible. We are grateful to Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Mojin, and also other doctors. Beyond the medical treatment in Vaidyagrama, it was a spiritual awakening in a great measure.

Thank you to the entire team of Illam 10 for the outstanding care I received. This was my first stay at an Ayurveda hospital, and I could not have asked for a better experience. Every person I interacted with at Vaidyagrama was kind, respectful and genuinely helpful. The doctors, therapists and housekeeping team are truly amazing. I am going home spiritually and physically revived.
A special thank you to Dr. Vinod for his patience, care and expertise – this has set me on a beautiful path of healing.
Suggestions: Kindly consider moving the dogs out of the patient rooms/areas to a more scheduled space. It would be wonderful to have a better library and media centre for patient relaxation.

I am visiting Vaidyagrama for the first time after having an online consultation with Dr. Harikrishnan. I am truly happy to be here. I deeply appreciate that Vaidyagrama is eco-friendly, with a very serene and peaceful atmosphere. The Gopuja (cow worship) performed here is a Divine experience to witness. The doctors and staff are very kind, caring and punctual in their work. I sincerely wish the entire Vaidyagrama team all the very best.

This was my first visit to Vaidyagrama, and it has been a truly special experience. The rooms were comfortable, the treatments and care deeply appreciated, and the food……… I am really going to miss the delicious and nourishing meals.
The kindness and peacefulness of this place sustained me through some challenging moments. Slowing down, reconnecting with Nature, walking in silence, and sharing time with the beautiful souls I met here all became part of healing. It was not just a cleanse or a cure; it was a reset on every level.
After four weeks, my biggest achievement has been quitting smoking. I will never forget the look in my doctor’s eyes when he suggested that I stop smoking for good. It moved something inside me, and I feel I owe it both to him and to myself.
The staff here are incredibly caring. Their kindness melts away the emotional weight that sometimes comes with the treatments. Their warmth and attention make everything feel worthwhile.
The daily Satsang talks, and open conversations were also a highlight, very informative and meaningful. They offered a beautiful opportunity to reflect, learn, and connect.
Thank you to the entire team, with much gratitude and respect for all that is being done here.

Today marks the end of my stay here, and I am truly grateful for the wonderful days I have spent. Time has passed so quickly, and every moment has been filled with care, comfort and healing.
My heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ramanandan, along with the entire team of doctors, therapists and
support staff, who have shown great dedication and compassion throughout my treatment.
Special mention to Drs. Sreya, Arun and Rose and the therapy team for their tireless
efforts and a kind approach.
The well-organised sessions, the peaceful atmosphere and the ever-smiling staff have made my journey memorable. I would also like to appreciate the housekeeping and kitchen teams, who ensured comfort in every little detail.
Last but not the least, the serene campus with its greenery, calm surroundings and soothing
sounds of Nature added so much to my recovery. It truly felt like a home away from home.
I sincerely hope that this spirit and quality of care remain unchanged as you continue to grow.
Wishing the entire team at Vaidyagrama the very best always.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Thank you for providing and creating such a wonderful healing space for body, mind and spirit.
This is my first experience with Ayurvedic treatment, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Mojin along with my therapist and other support staff provided excellent care. Everything is done here with so much love and compassion.
This place is an excellent blend of holistic treatment of body, mind and spirituality.
A very special thanks to Dr. Mojin for his daily check-ins and making my stay extremely comfortable and healing at the same time. Doctors were able to change the course of treatment based on the condition and needs. I cannot ask for more and would be sad to leave a healing community which I now call as my second home.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, Thanks a lot to the entire team of cluster 5 therapists and doctors, who were perfect. Treatments, organization of all activities like Satsangs were very interesting to understand Ayurveda deeply. Healing here means taking care and leading the patient to take care of himself. So live and so different!
We find here what we were looking for. Staying here changed us, thank you Dr Om Prakash for his presence, knowledge, optimism and confidence in the process.
PS: We enjoyed staying in Room 501 because its spacious, beautiful outwalk space and restaurant where we spent time. But that room, due to location and aeration window to the entrance where the staff is living and working, was too loud. Echoing in that room was huge and it was so difficult to sleep with ear protection. For this room, this must be corrected so that patients can rest well. Thanks.

My journey beside the beautiful trees, the organic plants, the butterflies, bananas etc
will end tomorrow. Here in Vaidyagrama I felt at home because you all were spreading out warm energy that let me feel welcome and for a time being one of you. In the last three weeks while I was resting in all the loving and caring hands, hearts and wise mouths - you all together touched my heart and contributed to see all the beauty around this place.
Now it is time to say thank you… Soon my room 502 will be empty and with the sound of
peacock, palms and banana plants will vanish. Thank you to all my doctors who were always treating me with their knowledge, their open and soft hearts and with their love. One time we shared together, you made me listen, learn, reflect and paying attention to your words. I am grateful for this experience that moved and transformed me.
Thank you to all my professional therapists, their touches on my oily body, the smile on my lips and their voices at the end of my bed to make me sleep. You gave me so much and nourished me spiritually, with your food and medicines.
Thank you to the entire team. I am sure that it is not possible to meet all of you. Let me write here that you made my stay very special, beautiful and transformative. Tomorrow I will go away from you; but in my heart, I am carrying you, your love, spirituality, healing power, thoughts and philosophy with me.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama and during this 23-day stay, I felt right at home. Vaidyagrama gave me the perfect healing space. It is not just a place where you get treatments, but a space that has the perfect balance between medicinal treatments, spiritual practices & a perfect harmony between the doctors, therapists and the entire staff. I never felt the need to ask for anything. Everything I needed was made available even before I could think about it.
Special thanks to Dr. Mojin for making me very comfortable when I first arrived. His daily morning check-in & explanations really helped ease my stay. All the therapists that worked with me (Hema, Karthika, Arnima) were very empathetic & took great care of me. Thank you, all your hard work that helped me heal with a new condition. Dr. Vinod was very detailed in explanation of his approach in my treatment. His humility & the care he took with my fragile condition was very impressive.
Thank you to all the staff I did not interact with, but worked behind the scenes to make everything perfect. I absolutely love the balance that was present at Vaidyagrama. The evening Satsangs were very informative & awakening.
Dr. Ramkumar's sessions are a treasure. Even though I attended for only a few minutes (with my treatment time conflicts), I gained a lot of practical spiritual tips.
Sujatha ji - my first point of contact. Thank you for regularly checking in on me. Dr. Anjali & Dr. Renjisha along with Dr. Rose - thank you for your check-ins.
Suggestions:
It would be nice to have Dr. Ramkumar's sessions a little later in the evenings instead, for some enthusiasts are still in treatment @ 3:15pm.
The morning & evening prayers are very good, but it would be nice to have them consistent in the way the prayers are chanted.

My first visit to Vaidyagrama was truly exceptional. Here you are treated me holistically. I arrived without knowing what to expect, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise filled with valuable learnings. The people working here are incredibly helpful and always greet you warmly. The doctors are readily available and happy to answer any questions, no matter how many you have. A big thanks to the doctors, therapists, cleaning crew, laundry staff, and admin team. Special mention to Addayiva, Sandhya, Shilpa and other therapists (Apologies—I am not good with names). Your attention to detail has been outstanding. My team of doctors - Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Sajna, Dr. Prameela, Dr. Anagha, and Dr. Vineesh have been exceptional. They patiently addressed all my questions, met me in the mornings and evenings, and ensured that everything was going well. They explained each step of the process, making me feel comfortable and confident.
The location itself is amazing, allowing you to truly connect with Nature. The Satsang sessions are informative, helpful and offer deeper insights into health, lifestyle and overall well-being. It proves that life can indeed be full and peaceful without televisions and the internet. One small note—the mosquitoes here seem to be living their best lives, and I’ve been bitten more than a few times! Overall, I would certainly recommend Vaidyagrama to my family and friends.
Thank you so much.

Dearest Vaidyagrama, We have taken lots of care for the last 21 days with much dedication, patience, tolerance; and above all down-to-earth words are not enough to thank you all. I have learnt so many values and to respect each other better. The treatments are wonderful. I am feeling very bad to leave this wonderful place.
Congratulations to you all for keeping up with the world of ayurveda. I would like to say more but time is not enough. God bless.

This is my fifth visit to Vaidyagrama, and it certainly won’t be my last! I am filled with gratitude and love as I leave today. Thank you, Vaidyagrama, for being my home away from home. Thank you for allowing me to rest and rejuvenate, and for the valuable insights into my own body and mind. Year after year, you continue to comfort my wounded mind and body. Thank you for all the love, care and friendship showered on me by everyone here, the therapists, cleaning staff and doctors. This is truly a blessed space that gives unconditionally and heals deeply. My cup is full, my monkey mind is rested, and I leave here today as a stronger human being. Onwards and upwards!
With love always,

Dear Vaidyagrama family, thank you so much for everything. I am going back with a heart full of love, appreciation and gratitude. My 21 days here were truly special. The therapists, cleaning staff, doctors, admin staff and all others working here are so wonderful and caring. The love that I have received here will always stay special and hold a place very dear in my heart. The treatments, the food, the medicine, the spiritual atmosphere were nothing less than excellent. Loved it all and I am sure it is all integral to my healing journey.
I loved my room and my cluster 5. Spacious and airy. Loved the morning and evening chanting and meditation. Loved the Shiva temple and the Dhanwantari temple. Particularly loved the Satsangs and my doctor consultations with Dr Om Prakash and Dr Rahul. So much learning and value addition for me during my discussions with doctors at Vaidyagrama. The cooking classes were great and so was the garden walk.
Knowing about the history of Vaidyagrama and Dr Ramkumar’s Vision for this place truly filled my heart with joy. I will be back and would love to contribute in every way possible to this lovely place. Surrounded with Nature, with a heart full of love, excitement, enthusiasm, nostalgia, I say goodbye for now. Till I return again very soon.

Vaidyagrama family and friends, first of all I want to thank God to bring me here. Environment is so lovely and stress free. It was so calm and pleasant. I still wonder how the days passed by doctors are so friendly to address the issues and discuss many things and knowledge. Therapists are really kind and friendly. I admire the way they treat me.
I was working in IT field for past 3 years and addicted to mobile and screen time. It is very easy to be here with this environment. Medicines and food were on time. These 13 days I feel I am living somewhere in earth, real earth with eco-friendly stress-free, zero screen time and the real oxygen. Not even a single feeling that I am staying in a hospital for treatment.
Will take the memories with me and pray God that everyone get cured once they step to Vaidyagrama. Miss you therapists who all treated me – Missing Vandana, Sruthi, Aneesha, Kalpana, Praveena, Unni Maya, Mithun and Greeshma. Thanks for the hope and treatment. Dr Sreeji, Dr Arsha and Dr Megha.

Dear Vaidyagrama team
I had a fantastic time at Vaidyagrama. All therapists especially Aneesha was wonderful. Everyone smiles and take care of us with real warmth and courtesy. Dr Sreeji was wonderful understanding and caring. The housekeeping team were especially excellent in attitude and cleaning.
The construction noises were very bad. This must be regulated beyond a point of time. You must take the choice not to expand at the cost of current patient’s health or peace of mind. Food should be healthy, but more care should go into the making it tasty also. Carrot poriyal for dosa is not great. Small things like putting some veggies in kanji can go a long way is how we feel. Thank you for overall wonderful stay and care.
Namaste!

My first time here and the best experience of caregiving I have ever had. I was looking for a place which is very rooted, not corrupted and close to Nature. When my friend mentioned and I visited the Vaidyagrama website, I knew this was the place I was looking for. But guess what! Vaidyagrama has offered far more than what I was looking for.
I came here to learn Ayurveda way of living to improve health, but I learnt that health is merely a side-effect of staying in the right environment in alignment to Nature. How clearing the blocks through Panchakarma helps you with your spiritual journey! I learnt so much about soul, purpose of life and journey.
I can go on and on about the team at Vaidyagrama. Never once it felt like it is a medical centre. The harmony between the directors, to doctors, to therapists, to housekeepers, to cooks, to front office, to taxi drivers, to priests is incredible and unbelievable.
Things I liked at Vaidyagrama:
A good balance between medicine, food, spirituality and environment.
Staff that do not just show they care, but they really do care.
Good balance of basic but comfort.
The soulful food.
The satsangs that are food to one’s thought.
Limited internet which actually helps one realise what is important and to value time, resources and above all relations.
Treatments themselves.
Wednesday group lunches and the talent show after.
Waking up to birds chirping, peacock visits that remind me that I am in India and cows mooing reminds me of my childhood.
Cooking classes, which make soulful food achievable.
Great friends for life.
Last but not the least, I thank each and every one of my caregivers who took such good care of me.
Thank you, Dr. Anjali.
Thank you Dr. Renjisha.
Thank you Dr. Induja.
Thank you Hema – you are the sweetest.
Thank you Karthika.
And finally, thank you Dr. Ramadas ji. I am signed up for life.
Love,

My name is Kaaviya, but people here call me moll.
They gave me hot water when I asked and even fruits sometimes. I really don’t like the kashayam, but my mom made me take it. I liked staying here a lot. The people were so friendly and always smiling. The treatment really made me feel better in a few days. The staff were very helpful and kind. I also liked seeing peacocks, butterflies and snails around the place. Thank you so much for helping us get healthy.
Special thanks to all the doctors, therapists and staff – you guys are really nice. Even the
laundry and housekeeping people were super kind. Thank you so much everyone for helping. I enjoyed my stay, and the classes were fun too.

This was my second visit to Vaidyagrama, and it was a truly wonderful and pleasant experience. It is a beautiful place to stay for a couple of weeks of healing and rest. I would like to thank Dr. Vinod M. Govind, who patiently listened to my concerns and answered all my questions with care. My gratitude also goes to the doctors who attended to me every morning and evening. Dr. Anagha and Dr. Vineesh are among the kindest souls I have ever met. Dr. Vineesh has been very kind and caring towards his patients.
I also thank my therapists—Lakshmi Amma, Vincy, and Addayiva—for their kind gestures and constant support throughout my stay. My heartfelt thanks to the housekeeping Akka who kept my room neat and tidy, helped me whenever I needed, and even gave me flowers every day—it was so heartwarming. I thank everyone once again, and may God bless you all. May your service continue to help many more people heal.

Dear Vaidyagrama Team,
I would like to thank you all for your gracious, caring approach and for the highly personalized manner in which you attended to my needs and complaints.
My one suggestion for improvement would be to reduce the level of noise and boost the tranquillity of the place by:
Requesting the staff in the kitchen/pantry to avoid clanging utensils too loudly while washing and leaning.
Relocating the dog pen/playground to a part of the campus where the barking sounds do not cause disturbance to guests/residents.
Thank you for a great experience.
Best Regards,

I had such a nice time here, and I’m so grateful to everyone for making my stay so wonderful. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this truly was a great decision in the end. This place is so special, and I feel grateful that I had the opportunity to come here. I saw firsthand how hard the staff work, and I hope they know how much we appreciate them. Thank you especially to Dr. Hima and Dr. Vinod for being so awesome and caring — You both are the best!
Honestly, I don’t really have any negative feedback because I had such a great time here, and I am sad to leave. There’s a reason this book is full of so much love. Thank you for everything. And I don’t want to leave out Abhijith — he was an awesome therapist. Until next time, bye!
Warmly,

Vaidyagrama has become a safe space for me, my second home. This is my fifth visit here, and I love slipping into the familiar rhythm of life. The morning prayers, kanji for breakfast, sitting on the balcony listening to birdsong, and looking out at the endless greenery… These are my cherished memories of this place. The treatments, the satsangs, the evening prayers, and even eagerly waiting for dosa at dinner make the experience complete.
Since this is my fifth stay, I have received many different treatments, and each time my body, mind and soul have healed and grown stronger. Before coming here, I struggled with insomnia, anxiety, ADHD, migraines and emotional issues. But they have all become a thing of the past, thanks to the ancient knowledge that is held and nurtured here.
The doctors are deeply skilled and knowledgeable. They are always ready with a smile and a kind word to answer questions and ease fears. The treatments are of the highest quality, and the treatment rooms themselves feel like sacred spaces. I am always amazed at how skillful the therapists are and how many different treatments are practiced here; each tailored so specifically to individual needs. They truly cleanse and nourish you at the deepest level.
Thank you, Dr. Prameela, for always being cheerful, for guiding me through the difficult treatments, and for giving me such thoughtful advice. I always felt safe and comfortable with you. Thank you, Dr. Sajna, for your caring nature, for giving me very specific guidance for my constitution and unique situation, and for being strict enough to ensure we followed the rules, it made a big difference. Thank you, Dr. Harikrishnan, for being a reservoir of knowledge and for designing the exact treatment I needed. My gratitude also goes to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Vinod and Dr. Ramaprasad for always being so friendly, for your wonderful sense of humor, and for patiently answering all my questions. You are all truly inspiring. Now, to the skilled, sweet, caring and hardworking therapists Sandhya and Shilpa, your experience and warmth shine through in every treatment. Adyiva and Athira, you were also wonderful. Dr. Anagha and Dr. Vineesh, thank you for always being around to chat with and to help whenever needed. I have the deepest gratitude and respect for all of you. Thank you for making Vaidyagrama such a blessed and healing space.

Dear Vaidyagrama team, I have had the most wonderful healing experience here. The care taken by Dr Megha and Dr Sreeji for me has be abundantly warm and so much attention has been given to every detail of my wellbeing. Special mention to my therapists Aneesha, Unnimaya and Sruthi.
My suggestions are
1. Don’t grow too big or expand too much, as there is the real danger of diluting your ethics and culture. Many people are feeling the warmth and care now more than ever; and when you hire more and built more it will be difficult to ingrain that culture in all service staff, doctors and therapists.
2. Noise was a big concern that would affect the impact of treatment. We leave our noise filled lives to come here. Please prioritize the welfare of patients more than expansion or development according to a time schedule.
3. Keep up the love, genuine warmth and care. This will keep us all coming back for more.
Love and gratitude,

Dear Vaidyagrama Care Team,
Thank you, thank you, thank you! For taking such amazing care of Aniket and me. We are truly grateful and blessed to be able to come here and take the treatment. From Dr. Hima, Dr. Vinod, all the other doctors, all our wonderful therapists, and the maintenance team – all felt like experts: dedicated, caring, loving and deeply patient. We loved being part of your family for 3 weeks.
We wish you the very best as healers and in your life journeys. May the goodness you are creating here move inward and outward everywhere. Do hope to keep in touch and come back someday.
With gratitude, joy, and love!

This was my first visit to Vaidyagrama and what an experience it was. A friend of mine first told me about this place and advised me to come as soon as I could, and thankfully, I got the chance to do so. The first three days were very hard for me. I was away from everything I knew, feeling a bit lost, and as the medications started to act on my body, all the toxins began to come out. I felt bored, a little depressed, and missed my family and friends. Everything seemed difficult, the food, the smell of the spices, the treatments.
The doctors and therapists were so kind that I almost felt guilty for not being able to fully appreciate it at the beginning. But soon after, my body started to adjust to the medicines, and I began to feel better. I also made friends in the same illam, which changed everything. I was no longer lonely, they supported me, encouraged me with songs, and shared many talks, laughs, and experiences.
Listening to the doctors in the Mandapam became a daily highlight for me. I absorbed so much beautiful knowledge about life and health and learned what to adapt to my own lifestyle. I am deeply thankful for the kindness and compassion of Dr. Prameela and Dr. Harikrishnan. I also loved walking outside, surrounded by flowers, animals and even insects. It made me feel immersed in beauty and notice the small things I usually don’t take time to see. I hope that when I return home, the treatment will also help heal my sleep issues. A heartfelt thanks as well to Sandhya, Addayiva, and Shilpa. Your work is amazing; you made me feel like a newborn after each session.
Thank you to everyone at Vaidyagrama. I don’t want to say any more, except that I truly hope to come back soon.

From the moment I arrived at Vaidyagrama I have felt so well cared for. Being that I finished chemotherapy the day before I arrived, I was in a fairly weakened state – each doctor, therapist and staff member has taken such great care of me.
I’m particularly grateful to Dr. Vinod who has been guiding me through my full cancer recovery journey without a concern for money.
This place, the Vision, the architecture and vibrancy is like nothing I have ever seen before. I wish to return again and again.
Each concern was addressed as they arose, and I have nothing but positive feedback. My only recommendation is that there be a senior therapist in each treatment. Everyone is so lovely, but when Hema gets into the room, there is much more reverence for the process.
Thank you Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Anjali, Hema and everyone who worked so hard to bring me healing and balance.
Gratefully,

This was my fifth visit to Vaidyagrama. I stayed here for 15 days this time. Whenever life in the city takes its toll, this is where I come every other year to rejuvenate.
My journey with Ayurveda began back in 2008 under the guidance of Dr. Ramkumar. Since then, I have placed my trust in this path of healing, and it has brought remarkable changes in my health and well-being. Over the years, I have also been under the care of Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Sajna and Dr. Prameela, each of whom has played a significant role in my recovery and balance. What makes Vaidyagrama special is that treatments here go to the root cause of ailments. With their support, I have been able to overcome chronic conditions like hypothyroidism and hypertension, and I continue to experience steady improvement in my overall quality of life while managing diabetes and seronegative rheumatoid arthritis.
For me, Vaidyagrama has become more than just a retreat, it is a health pilgrimage. The atmosphere, the energy and the purity of this space are unlike anywhere else in the world. You can feel it in the air, in the stillness and in the healing. My heartfelt appreciation to the doctors, therapists and everyone who supports the stay here. Every patient is treated with deep compassion and care. Each process is explained clearly, making you feel understood and safe. The difference these treatments have made in my health over the years has been profound, and I carry immense gratitude for Vaidyagrama and the doctors who have walked with me on this journey. And yes, I am coming back again.

It is my first visit to Vaidyagrama, and I am deeply grateful to my friends Agnes and Rajesh, who introduced me to this place. Here I experienced a true healing touch under the guidance of Dr. Ramanandan, with extended support and care from Dr. Prameela, Dr. Sajna, Dr. Vineesh and the well-trained therapists. It has been an amazing experience for me, healthcare with genuine compassion and commitment. Dr. Ramanandan and his team not only helped me with my health issues but also guided and encouraged me to overcome emotional challenges and understand the subtle consciousness of my lifestyle.
After spending 15 days at Vaidyagrama, I feel much more confident, composed and focused on leading a balanced and healthy life. I can truly say I received the best coaching and treatment here. Special thanks to Dr. Prameela, who became like a mentor to me, helping me recognize my strengths and correct myself. Though she is very young, she is already renowned as both an excellent doctor and a wonderful teacher.
I would also like to express my gratitude to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Ramadas, and Dr. Harikumar for patiently listening to me and providing a personalized treatment plan. Finally, my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ramkumar for creating this healing space that not only treats illnesses but also gives the feeling of an extended home, one that you can truly rely upon for a better life.
Thank you, Vaidyagrama. I will certainly return whenever I can.

This is my first time at Vaidyagrama, and what a beautiful journey it has been! From the very
first day, I felt welcomed with so much warmth and care. The doctors, therapists and staff treat
us not just as patients, but as part of a family. The atmosphere here is so peaceful — listening to the birds in the morning, watching the butterflies in the garden and enjoying the calm silence have been truly healing. Even the smallest requests, like hot water or a smile, were always met with kindness.
Special thanks to Dr. Arun, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Sreya and Dr. Rose for their constant guidance and care. Satheesh and the therapy team worked with such dedication, and the housekeeping staff took care of every detail with love.
The yoga and prayer sessions gave me inner strength, and the simple food reminded me of home. Each moment here felt nourishing for both body and mind.
I will surely return again, next time with my family, to experience this healing life once more.
With heartfelt gratitude,

Dear Vaidyagrama Team!
I came here not knowing where I was going. All I knew was an Ayurvedic place, where my friend Rashida ji always went, so it had to be “ACE”! After staying here for 2 weeks, I can say, the experience was beautiful. Amidst the green, fauna, flora, so colorful. The treatments were a treat. The prayers & Satsangs are not to be missed indeed! The highlight of my stay was to be looked after by the wonderful Doctors.
Dr. Rose, whose patience, care & calmness was AMAZING. She was there anytime I needed something! Dr. Ramadas’ philosophical discussions & CARE gave me “food for thought” as I look around EVERYWHERE. Many, many Thanks to ALL.

I am so grateful with my Guru Saint Ram Singh Ji Maharaj who put me here and showered grace for healing or be better. God Bless Vaidyagrama, Dr. Ramadas and all the doctors, staff and people here to make everything happen. This place, people, environment is so beautiful and full of love. We are very grateful to have come here to have learned and healed mentally and physically to another level in our lives. We look forward to continuing our path from this with the grace of God and Baba Sri Radhaswami.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
Thank you so much for the attentive care, amazing therapies, and insights into my body. I leave with a big smile! 21 days have flown by, and it is a bit sad to leave this family behind. Please continue the focus on community and the primacy of Indian spiritual practices as part of the very fabric of Vaidyagrama.
A few pieces of feedback:
It would be great for therapists/doctors to factor in patient mealtimes while scheduling therapies. Often times I have had to go into therapy with a full stomach or with a lot of hunger. Both are unpleasant.
I would like to see innovative eco-friendly solutions to the mosquito problems in the common areas. The outdoors are fantastic but impossible to enjoy due to the mosquitoes.
While limited internet is a great idea, often times it is not possible to disconnect from family or deal with situations. In those times just cellular service would suffice. I have had issues due to not having cell service. Having good cell service, but NOT internet would be ideal.
Thanks,

All my friends @ Vaidyagrama
This is 2nd home to me. Twice this year!! I just love it here. Feeling so cared for & loved. Dr. Ramadas is the most caring and down-to-earth person. Always smiling and giving you the confidence that nothing is wrong and all will be well. His positive energy is amazing. I am lucky to have Dr. Ramanandan also visit me every now and then to give me advice and confidence that all is going well. Dr. Rose, who I met for the 1st time, was always there early morning – late night. She took immense care of me and was always kind, polite and reassuring.
Dr. Arun also was there visiting and advising. A great team. All five stars. My therapists, Sameena and Shiny, were the best. I love them and they treated me with so much love. Even the two smiling persons Bristo and Dhanya were great support. The laundry staff were excellent and the housekeeping always helpful and did her job quietly and well.
Yes, the center has grown, and we are still getting very good care, but growing too big comes with its own drawbacks, so please don’t overgrow. The peace, the greenery and the gentle rain added to my wonderful stay here. Not forgetting the birds chirping. Wishing everyone here best of luck and God Bless.
Sorry, forgot Anu – She was a delight with her smiling face.

My stay here was for 21 days, and this was my first visit. I truly enjoyed my stay, and overall, the experience was very well organised in every aspect. The personal care and attention from the team of doctors to the therapists were excellent, which is one of the specialities of this place.
Some of the things I liked:
The daily lectures and Satsangs.
The invocation of the Dhanwantari Mantra before every treatment in the therapy room.
The therapists chant it sincerely each time.
The two temples are within the campus.
The natural ambience, waking up to the chirping of birds amidst greenery.
Therapists take ownership of their patients and follow the right protocols.
The high quality of the therapists.
Covered walking trails.
Timeliness in serving food and medicines.
The friendly, supportive and cheerful attitude of all staff.
The dress code followed by everyone, whether doctors or staff.
Key treatments like Vasti being performed by doctors.
My doctor Dr. Ramanandan and his team (Dr. Anagha, Dr. Sajna, Dr. Vineesh and the new addition Dr. Perumal Samy) took very good care in charting my treatment plan and monitoring my progress.
The staff serving food in my block were very helpful and always available when needed.
The food was good (considering it is for treatment purposes), though I felt the chutney could be improved and not just used as a garnish.
Some suggestions:
While all the therapists are good, some are truly exceptional. Bridging this small gap in
quality would make the experience even better. I am sure the doctors managing different illams are exchanging and sharing them notes/knowledge to bring together the best minds for treating patients. However, this is not always clear to patients. Sharing this process transparently may help patients feel more confident and avoid the impression that treatments are isolated.
Overall, it was a very pleasant and lovely experience. I already see improvement in my condition, and I look forward to monitoring my progress in the coming months after treatment.
Many thanks to the entire team!

My family, brothers, nephews and nieces are old hands at Vaidyagrama and at 82, I am late to
come! Better late than never. I have had a very pleasant stay in these wonderful surroundings and been taken care of by such devoted and wonderful people. I came here precipitated by my grandson Taha’s health issues to accompany him on his health journey and I know we have come to the right place.
My thanks to all the team –
Dr. Ramanandan, who is so hospitable and supportive.
Dr. Sreya, who is always present and attentive.
And Dr. Arun, who is always there to help.
The therapy staff, laundry & kitchen staff, and the admin office have always been very courteous and attentive. I hope to return.

To the Vaidyagrama Team,
I am very pleased that I finally experienced the magic of Vaidyagrama. The loving care of all the medical staff, therapists and housekeeping, been a joy to have them around me during my stay. You have created a very peaceful and comfortable environment to heal and enjoy.
My special thanks to Dr. Ramanand & Dr. Sreya for your support and care. Appreciation to therapists Bindu, Femila, Nimmy, Prema, Greeshma – who worked hard to ease my pain!! Dr. Arun for the dosage of my ghee!! He was so kind to hear it was a trying formula I had to take. Kitchen staff gave me a variety of Ayurvedic and Kerala taste. I look forward to returning in the near future. Till then, you all keep well and safe.
Warm regards,

How do I even begin to thank each & everyone here for the wonderful healing of body, mind & soul that I experienced here? I did not realise how spent and tired I felt/was until I came here to Vaidyagrama. And I leave with a sense of spirit & community of belonging, renewed. The loving personnel, the treatments and medicines, the hot nourishing meals, the beautiful environment & satsangs— All did their magic.
I especially looked forward each day to the:
Morning prayers at Vaidyeswaram
To my rendezvous with Lord Dhanwantri so lovingly cared for by the Panditji
To the Satsangs in Mandapam
To the question & answer sessions with Dr Ramkumar
To my daily meetings with Dr Sreeji, who patiently heard me out each day. Her advice was spot on and her demeanour kind but firm.
Every concern was dealt with promptly and lovingly @VG I want to especially appreciate & thank Dr. Ramadas for his ever-ready smile and exuberance, his amazing rendition of the chants & mantras and his generous giving of time whenever I caught him in the corridors. Dr. Renjisha for her time and patience, and laughter. Manju, Sashana, Keziya, Abeyson, Bindu, Ambika & Henna for the great loving care they gave me during my treatments. They are special! Madhumita, Deepti, Kartika and Sumathi – their smiles & friendly faces were always welcoming to queries and so many others. Each & every one makes this place what it is. Much gratitude to ALL.
A few very small suggestions:
Maybe ask patients to bring a dressing gown (optional), but if at least let them know that during treatments, it will make things easier (especially for people like me who did not know what to expect).
Maybe let them know that nails cannot be cut once treatment starts, a very minor point but would have been helpful to me.
This I know adds to work but maybe at least the first time a food is served, give it a label with its name? So, patients who are not familiar with the food will find it helpful. (Maybe down the line, it may be possible?)
Also, a big thank you to Rajeshji’s kitchen! Again, thank you for everything for showing a sustainable, healthy, spiritually led community-driven life is possible; for the wholesomeness.
Best wishes and many thanks,

I am so grateful for the love and care that was given to me by everyone at VG. I think this is the most peaceful and loving place I have ever been – this was exactly what I needed for burnout! Everything in VG was perfect! It was just beautiful being able to have quiet time and the ability to reflect.
I am grateful to Dr. Ramadas for his one-on-one mentoring, which provided the guidance I needed. I love his beautiful, strong voice during prayer, as it lifts the vibration of the room and enables me to connect to my heart. I love his smile and his dedication to helping people. I appreciated how he listened to all my questions and patiently helped me work through the answers, empowering me to become more able to better serve and provide unconditional love – not only to the world, but also to myself. In today’s world, we often don’t look after our body… and here, I learned the importance of that.
I loved all the satsangs. Dr. Ramkumar resonated with me. His wisdom and ability to communicate his message in such a simple way – I was like a sponge and was so grateful for his Q+A. So much wisdom, which I hope to adopt in my life. I was grateful to Dr. Ramadas for his care of my medical condition – the Ayurveda approach is incredible, dealing with the issues and not just the symptoms. Thank you to Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Anjali and Dr. Vinod for their love and care. Dr. Vinod was particularly able to address and provide practical ways of dealing with my spiritual practice, and I am grateful for that.
To the therapists – you are amazing! All the treatments were conducted professionally and with so much care. It was everyone, not only one – amazing people, but also the food, the bathing, and everything brought to your room, even the medical consultations – there was nothing for us to do, but rest and heal.
I hope that in the future, the importance and growth of your work escalates. I have no doubts that if we had more people going through this treatment, we would have the ability to transform more “love and peace” in the world. I know I have been inspired to give my service for supporting the positive vibration where I can....
And finally, the big thing for me was the sustainability of your operations – wow! The Nature and biodiversity you have brought back on the land, the use of solar power, rainwater/sewage management, organic fertilizers etc. – this would need a book on its own.
Thank you for showing the way a village can be so sustainable – this is such a great roadmap for others.
With much love and gratitude,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
This is the 3rd time we are here so it is very evident that is because of the warmth and healing we receive from here. Leaving with a heavy heart as it is hard to leave a team of “ANGELS”.
You guys are really amazing and I can swear by the treatment given here. I will leave my google review for more feedback.
Thank you specially to my favourite “Dr. Ramanandan” and also Dr. Sajith, Dr. Arsha, Dr. Megha, Dr. Rahul, Dr. Omprakash and the therapists who are real darlings. We are connected to this family emotionally and spiritually now more than being connected for medical reasons.
We love you!

We have had the most transformative healing journey at Vaidyagrama. The whole culture is beautiful; specially the schedule is very well-structured, starting from morning and evening prayers to satsangs. Satsangs were informative. Food was on point. Goshala was the highlight. However I would strongly advise to maintain cleanliness of utensils. Most importantly special thanks to Dr. Om Prakash ji for being the true guiding light in every aspect of our rejuvenating trip, accompanied by Dr. Ardent, Dr. Arsha, Dr. Megha, Dr. Sreeji and Dr Rahul. Special mention to Sruthi, Biju, Midhun, Vinod for taking such good care of us. Housekeeping staff with a new personality. We are going back with a new and fresh perspective in life.

Vaidyagrama is a truly spectacular place, where you feel like a baby being nurtured and protected. Every staff here is super caring and loving. The way this place is made is fantastic and I love that it is very rooted, and they haven’t commercialized themselves.
The whole idea of coming here is to HEAL truly. No marketing, No baffling, NOTHING. I absolutely LOVE the quality of their medicines, it is amazing. This place just feels so pure and blissful away from the fast-paced world amidst nature with birds chirping, snails moving peacefully, trees swaying. It offers a fresh perspective of life. It’s my second time here at Vaidyagrama and won’t be the last one.

Dearest VG Team,
After a two-year hiatus, I was back during the monsoon — and what a joyful homecoming it has been for me! Having come consistently for 5–6 years till 2023 and staying in 203 every time, moving to Illam 12 was a big shift for me — but I loved it! The new rooms are bright and airy, and the doctors, therapists and supporting staff are as amazing as always. Dr. Ramanandan, my salaams! How you manage your patients in about 30 rooms in one day is a feat — you’ve surely earned yourself a pair of roller skates! It was wonderful meeting the bright and vibrant Dr. Hima! A big thank you to all the therapists here — Sindhu, Princy, Greeshma, Gayathri — and my old favourites Devaki and Sameena.
Kudos Dr. Ramkumar for your Vision and generosity in creating this space and holding this amazing team together! Many, many thanks — and I will be back soon!
Love,

To the VG Team,
I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone – the therapists Nirmala, Greeshma, Kavitha, and the Doctors Harikumar, Sajna, Sreya, Anupama and Ardent. My gratitude also goes to the cleaners, cooks and all the staff who made my stay so comfortable and welcoming. A very special thanks to Dr. Ardent, who kindly checked on me multiple times a day and always made sure I was doing well. And a big thank you to Manager Athira, who went out of her way to accommodate us on such short notice – that truly meant so much. I deeply appreciate each and every one of you. I also love how sustainable this place is, and I hope it inspires more people to bring these practices into their own homes.

Respected Doctors, hospital and canteen staff & of course the therapists- the backbone/ supporting people cannot be ignored… The job done by all are great. One is better than other. Leaders are the best to lead entire team. Management study says only the best leaders can produce a best and leading organization and staff. Vaidyagrama is a perfect example for this. Regular meetings of all which I noticed is extremely good. Management could touch all nook, and the organization can always be in the right path then. And that happens here. Once again congratulations to all doctors for the pinpoint treatment and quality. Once again, all the very best and success to Vaidyagrama.
With regards,
Bhagyanathan P.
Vaidyagrama now feels like a home away from home. Thank you for all your care, love and thoughtful caregiving.
From the therapists to the housekeeping team, from the doctors who were my immediate caretakers to those who were not – Everyone carries the Vaidyagrama spirit within them, and it is so beautiful to witness and experience. I am leaving with a heart full of gratitude.
Lots of love,

Thank you to the entire team of Illam 10 for the outstanding care I received. This was my first stay at an Ayurveda hospital, and I could not have asked for a better experience. Every person I interacted with at Vaidyagrama was kind, respectful and genuinely helpful. The doctors, therapists and housekeeping team are truly amazing. I am going home spiritually and physically revived.
A special thank you to Dr. Vinod for his patience, care and expertise – this has set me on a beautiful path of healing.
Suggestions: Kindly consider moving the dogs out of the patient rooms/areas to a more scheduled space. It would be wonderful to have a better library and media centre for patient relaxation.

It was fabulous moments for me during the stay. This place is peaceful, family-oriented and filled with good people treating us as a part of their family. Kudos to the whole team – Trust, Management, Doctors, Therapists and backend-support team.
My special thanks to Dr. Arun, Sathish, Ratheesh, Biju who took care with dedication. I could see a lot of knowledge in the Ayurvedic area. I will surely catch-up next time with this family.

Namaste,
I am visiting Vaidyagrama for the first time after having an online consultation with Dr. Harikrishnan. I am truly happy to be here. I deeply appreciate that Vaidyagrama is eco-friendly, with a very serene and peaceful atmosphere. The Gopuja (cow worship) performed here is a Divine experience to witness. The doctors and staff are very kind, caring and punctual in their work. I sincerely wish the entire Vaidyagrama team all the very best.

This was my first visit to Vaidyagrama, and it has been a truly special experience. The rooms were comfortable, the treatments and care deeply appreciated, and the food……… I am really going to miss the delicious and nourishing meals.
The kindness and peacefulness of this place sustained me through some challenging moments. Slowing down, reconnecting with Nature, walking in silence, and sharing time with the beautiful souls I met here all became part of healing. It was not just a cleanse or a cure; it was a reset on every level.
After four weeks, my biggest achievement has been quitting smoking. I will never forget the look in my doctor’s eyes when he suggested that I stop smoking for good. It moved something inside me, and I feel I owe it both to him and to myself.
The staff here are incredibly caring. Their kindness melts away the emotional weight that sometimes comes with the treatments. Their warmth and attention make everything feel worthwhile.
The daily Satsang talks, and open conversations were also a highlight, very informative and meaningful. They offered a beautiful opportunity to reflect, learn, and connect.
Thank you to the entire team, with much gratitude and respect for all that is being done here.

A NOTE OF THANKS!
Today marks the end of my stay here, and I am truly grateful for the wonderful days I have spent. Time has passed so quickly, and every moment has been filled with care, comfort and healing.
My heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ramanandan, along with the entire team of doctors, therapists and
support staff, who have shown great dedication and compassion throughout my treatment.
Special mention to Drs. Sreya, Arun and Rose and the therapy team for their tireless
efforts and a kind approach.
The well-organised sessions, the peaceful atmosphere and the ever-smiling staff have made my journey memorable. I would also like to appreciate the housekeeping and kitchen teams, who ensured comfort in every little detail.
Last but not the least, the serene campus with its greenery, calm surroundings and soothing
sounds of Nature added so much to my recovery. It truly felt like a home away from home.
I sincerely hope that this spirit and quality of care remain unchanged as you continue to grow.
Wishing the entire team at Vaidyagrama the very best always.
I look forward to returning here again in the future with my family.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Thank you for providing and creating such a wonderful healing space for body, mind and spirit.
This is my first experience with Ayurvedic treatment, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Mojin along with my therapist and other support staff provided excellent care. Everything is done here with so much love and compassion.
This place is an excellent blend of holistic treatment of body, mind and spirituality.
A very special thanks to Dr. Mojin for his daily check-ins and making my stay extremely comfortable and healing at the same time. Doctors were able to change the course of treatment based on the condition and needs. I cannot ask for more and would be sad to leave a healing community which I now call as my second home.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, Thanks a lot to the entire team of cluster 5 therapists and doctors, who were perfect. Treatments, organization of all activities like Satsangs were very interesting to understand Ayurveda deeply. Healing here means taking care and leading the patient to take care of himself. So live and so different!
We find here what we were looking for. Staying here changed us, thank you Dr Om Prakash for his presence, knowledge, optimism and confidence in the process.
PS: We enjoyed staying in Room 501 because its spacious, beautiful outwalk space and restaurant where we spent time. But that room, due to location and aeration window to the entrance where the staff is living and working, was too loud. Echoing in that room was huge and it was so difficult to sleep with ear protection. For this room, this must be corrected so that patients can rest well. Thanks.

My journey beside the beautiful trees, the organic plants, the butterflies, bananas etc
will end tomorrow. Here in Vaidyagrama I felt at home because you all were spreading out warm energy that let me feel welcome and for a time being one of you. In the last three weeks while I was resting in all the loving and caring hands, hearts and wise mouths - you all together touched my heart and contributed to see all the beauty around this place.
Now it is time to say thank you… Soon my room 502 will be empty and with the sound of
peacock, palms and banana plants will vanish. Thank you to all my doctors who were always treating me with their knowledge, their open and soft hearts and with their love. One time we shared together, you made me listen, learn, reflect and paying attention to your words. I am grateful for this experience that moved and transformed me.
Thank you to all my professional therapists, their touches on my oily body, the smile on my lips and their voices at the end of my bed to make me sleep. You gave me so much and nourished me spiritually, with your food and medicines.
Thank you to the entire team. I am sure that it is not possible to meet all of you. Let me write here that you made my stay very special, beautiful and transformative. Tomorrow I will go away from you; but in my heart, I am carrying you, your love, spirituality, healing power, thoughts and philosophy with me.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama and during this 23-day stay, I felt right at home. Vaidyagrama gave me the perfect healing space. It is not just a place where you get treatments, but a space that has the perfect balance between medicinal treatments, spiritual practices & a perfect harmony between the doctors, therapists and the entire staff. I never felt the need to ask for anything. Everything I needed was made available even before I could think about it.
Special thanks to Dr. Mojin for making me very comfortable when I first arrived. His daily morning check-in & explanations really helped ease my stay. All the therapists that worked with me (Hema, Karthika, Arnima) were very empathetic & took great care of me. Thank you, all your hard work that helped me heal with a new condition. Dr. Vinod was very detailed in explanation of his approach in my treatment. His humility & the care he took with my fragile condition was very impressive.
Thank you to all the staff I did not interact with, but worked behind the scenes to make everything perfect. I absolutely love the balance that was present at Vaidyagrama. The evening Satsangs were very informative & awakening.
Dr. Ramkumar's sessions are a treasure. Even though I attended for only a few minutes (with my treatment time conflicts), I gained a lot of practical spiritual tips.
Sujatha ji - my first point of contact. Thank you for regularly checking in on me. Dr. Anjali & Dr. Renjisha along with Dr. Rose - thank you for your check-ins.
Suggestions:
It would be nice to have Dr. Ramkumar's sessions a little later in the evenings instead, for some enthusiasts are still in treatment @ 3:15pm.
The morning & evening prayers are very good, but it would be nice to have them consistent in the way the prayers are chanted.

My first visit to Vaidyagrama was truly exceptional. Here you are treated me holistically. I arrived without knowing what to expect, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise filled with valuable learnings. The people working here are incredibly helpful and always greet you warmly. The doctors are readily available and happy to answer any questions, no matter how many you have. A big thanks to the doctors, therapists, cleaning crew, laundry staff, and admin team. Special mention to Addayiva, Sandhya, Shilpa and other therapists (Apologies—I am not good with names). Your attention to detail has been outstanding. My team of doctors - Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Sajna, Dr. Prameela, Dr. Anagha, and Dr. Vineesh have been exceptional. They patiently addressed all my questions, met me in the mornings and evenings, and ensured that everything was going well. They explained each step of the process, making me feel comfortable and confident.
The location itself is amazing, allowing you to truly connect with Nature. The Satsang sessions are informative, helpful and offer deeper insights into health, lifestyle and overall well-being. It proves that life can indeed be full and peaceful without televisions and the internet. One small note—the mosquitoes here seem to be living their best lives, and I’ve been bitten more than a few times! Overall, I would certainly recommend Vaidyagrama to my family and friends.
Thank you so much.

Thank you for allowing me to rest and rejuvenate, and for the valuable insights into my own body and mind. Year after year, you continue to comfort my wounded mind and body. Thank you for all the love, care and friendship showered on me by everyone here, the therapists, cleaning staff and doctors. This is truly a blessed space that gives unconditionally and heals deeply. My cup is full, my monkey mind is rested, and I leave here today as a stronger human being. Onwards and upwards!

Dear Vaidyagrama family, thank you so much for everything. I am going back with a heart full of love, appreciation and gratitude. My 21 days here were truly special. The therapists, cleaning staff, doctors, admin staff and all others working here are so wonderful and caring. The love that I have received here will always stay special and hold a place very dear in my heart. The treatments, the food, the medicine, the spiritual atmosphere were nothing less than excellent. Loved it all and I am sure it is all integral to my healing journey.
I loved my room and my cluster 5. Spacious and airy. Loved the morning and evening chanting and meditation. Loved the Shiva temple and the Dhanwantari temple. Particularly loved the Satsangs and my doctor consultations with Dr Om Prakash and Dr Rahul. So much learning and value addition for me during my discussions with doctors at Vaidyagrama. The cooking classes were great and so was the garden walk.
Knowing about the history of Vaidyagrama and Dr Ramkumar’s Vision for this place truly filled my heart with joy. I will be back and would love to contribute in every way possible to this lovely place. Surrounded with Nature, with a heart full of love, excitement, enthusiasm, nostalgia, I say goodbye for now. Till I return again very soon.

Vaidyagrama family and friends, first of all I want to thank God to bring me here. Environment is so lovely and stress free. It was so calm and pleasant. I still wonder how the days passed by doctors are so friendly to address the issues and discuss many things and knowledge. Therapists are really kind and friendly. I admire the way they treat me.
I was working in IT field for past 3 years and addicted to mobile and screen time. It is very easy to be here with this environment. Medicines and food were on time. These 13 days I feel I am living somewhere in earth, real earth with eco-friendly stress-free, zero screen time and the real oxygen. Not even a single feeling that I am staying in a hospital for treatment.
Will take the memories with me and pray God that everyone get cured once they step to Vaidyagrama. Miss you therapists who all treated me – Missing Vandana, Sruthi, Aneesha, Kalpana, Praveena, Unni Maya, Mithun and Greeshma. Thanks for the hope and treatment. Dr Sreeji, Dr Arsha and Dr Megha.

Dear Vaidyagrama team
I had a fantastic time at Vaidyagrama. All therapists especially Aneesha was wonderful. Everyone smiles and take care of us with real warmth and courtesy. Dr Sreeji was wonderful understanding and caring. The housekeeping team were especially excellent in attitude and cleaning.
The construction noises were very bad. This must be regulated beyond a point of time. You must take the choice not to expand at the cost of current patient’s health or peace of mind. Food should be healthy, but more care should go into the making it tasty also. Carrot poriyal for dosa is not great. Small things like putting some veggies in kanji can go a long way is how we feel. Thank you for overall wonderful stay and care.
Namaste!

My first time here and the best experience of caregiving I have ever had. I was looking for a place which is very rooted, not corrupted and close to Nature. When my friend mentioned and I visited the Vaidyagrama website, I knew this was the place I was looking for. But guess what! Vaidyagrama has offered far more than what I was looking for.
I came here to learn Ayurveda way of living to improve health, but I learnt that health is merely a side-effect of staying in the right environment in alignment to Nature. How clearing the blocks through Panchakarma helps you with your spiritual journey! I learnt so much about soul, purpose of life and journey.
I can go on and on about the team at Vaidyagrama. Never once it felt like it is a medical centre. The harmony between the directors, to doctors, to therapists, to housekeepers, to cooks, to front office, to taxi drivers, to priests is incredible and unbelievable.
Things I liked at Vaidyagrama:
A good balance between medicine, food, spirituality and environment.
Staff that do not just show they care, but they really do care.
Good balance of basic but comfort.
The soulful food.
The satsangs that are food to one’s thought.
Limited internet which actually helps one realise what is important and to value time, resources and above all relations.
Treatments themselves.
Wednesday group lunches and the talent show after.
Waking up to birds chirping, peacock visits that remind me that I am in India and cows mooing reminds me of my childhood.
Cooking classes, which make soulful food achievable.
Great friends for life.
Last but not the least, I thank each and every one of my caregivers who took such good care of me.
Thank you, Dr. Anjali.
Thank you Dr. Renjisha.
Thank you Dr. Induja.
Thank you Hema – you are the sweetest.
Thank you Karthika.
And finally, thank you Dr. Ramadas ji. I am signed up for life.

My name is Kaaviya, but people here call me moll.
They gave me hot water when I asked and even fruits sometimes. I really don’t like the kashayam, but my mom made me take it. I liked staying here a lot. The people were so friendly and always smiling. The treatment really made me feel better in a few days. The staff were very helpful and kind. I also liked seeing peacocks, butterflies and snails around the place. Thank you so much for helping us get healthy.
Special thanks to all the doctors, therapists and staff – you guys are really nice. Even the
laundry and housekeeping people were super kind. Thank you so much everyone for helping. I enjoyed my stay, and the classes were fun too.

This was my second visit to Vaidyagrama, and it was a truly wonderful and pleasant experience. It is a beautiful place to stay for a couple of weeks of healing and rest. I would like to thank Dr. Vinod M. Govind, who patiently listened to my concerns and answered all my questions with care. My gratitude also goes to the doctors who attended to me every morning and evening. Dr. Anagha and Dr. Vineesh are among the kindest souls I have ever met. Dr. Vineesh has been very kind and caring towards his patients.
I also thank my therapists—Lakshmi Amma, Vincy, and Addayiva—for their kind gestures and constant support throughout my stay. My heartfelt thanks to the housekeeping Akka who kept my room neat and tidy, helped me whenever I needed, and even gave me flowers every day—it was so heartwarming. I thank everyone once again, and may God bless you all. May your service continue to help many more people heal.

Dear Vaidyagrama Team,
I would like to thank you all for your gracious, caring approach and for the highly personalized manner in which you attended to my needs and complaints.
My one suggestion for improvement would be to reduce the level of noise and boost the tranquillity of the place by:
Requesting the staff in the kitchen/pantry to avoid clanging utensils too loudly while washing and leaning.
Relocating the dog pen/playground to a part of the campus where the barking sounds do not cause disturbance to guests/residents.
Thank you for a great experience.
Best Regards,

I had such a nice time here, and I’m so grateful to everyone for making my stay so wonderful. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this truly was a great decision in the end. This place is so special, and I feel grateful that I had the opportunity to come here. I saw firsthand how hard the staff work, and I hope they know how much we appreciate them. Thank you especially to Dr. Hima and Dr. Vinod for being so awesome and caring — You both are the best!
Honestly, I don’t really have any negative feedback because I had such a great time here, and I am sad to leave. There’s a reason this book is full of so much love. Thank you for everything. And I don’t want to leave out Abhijith — he was an awesome therapist. Until next time, bye!

Vaidyagrama has become a safe space for me, my second home. This is my fifth visit here, and I love slipping into the familiar rhythm of life. The morning prayers, kanji for breakfast, sitting on the balcony listening to birdsong, and looking out at the endless greenery… These are my cherished memories of this place. The treatments, the satsangs, the evening prayers, and even eagerly waiting for dosa at dinner make the experience complete.
Since this is my fifth stay, I have received many different treatments, and each time my body, mind and soul have healed and grown stronger. Before coming here, I struggled with insomnia, anxiety, ADHD, migraines and emotional issues. But they have all become a thing of the past, thanks to the ancient knowledge that is held and nurtured here.
The doctors are deeply skilled and knowledgeable. They are always ready with a smile and a kind word to answer questions and ease fears. The treatments are of the highest quality, and the treatment rooms themselves feel like sacred spaces. I am always amazed at how skillful the therapists are and how many different treatments are practiced here; each tailored so specifically to individual needs. They truly cleanse and nourish you at the deepest level.
Thank you, Dr. Prameela, for always being cheerful, for guiding me through the difficult treatments, and for giving me such thoughtful advice. I always felt safe and comfortable with you. Thank you, Dr. Sajna, for your caring nature, for giving me very specific guidance for my constitution and unique situation, and for being strict enough to ensure we followed the rules, it made a big difference. Thank you, Dr. Harikrishnan, for being a reservoir of knowledge and for designing the exact treatment I needed. My gratitude also goes to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Vinod and Dr. Ramaprasad for always being so friendly, for your wonderful sense of humor, and for patiently answering all my questions. You are all truly inspiring. Now, to the skilled, sweet, caring and hardworking therapists Sandhya and Shilpa, your experience and warmth shine through in every treatment. Adyiva and Athira, you were also wonderful. Dr. Anagha and Dr. Vineesh, thank you for always being around to chat with and to help whenever needed. I have the deepest gratitude and respect for all of you. Thank you for making Vaidyagrama such a blessed and healing space.

Dear Vaidyagrama team, I have had the most wonderful healing experience here. The care taken by Dr Megha and Dr Sreeji for me has be abundantly warm and so much attention has been given to every detail of my wellbeing. Special mention to my therapists Aneesha, Unnimaya and Sruthi.
My suggestions are
1. Don’t grow too big or expand too much, as there is the real danger of diluting your ethics and culture. Many people are feeling the warmth and care now more than ever; and when you hire more and built more it will be difficult to ingrain that culture in all service staff, doctors and therapists.
2. Noise was a big concern that would affect the impact of treatment. We leave our noise filled lives to come here. Please prioritize the welfare of patients more than expansion or development according to a time schedule.
3. Keep up the love, genuine warmth and care. This will keep us all coming back for more.
Love and gratitude,

From Dr. Hima, Dr. Vinod, all the other doctors, all our wonderful therapists, and the maintenance team – all felt like experts: dedicated, caring, loving and deeply patient. We loved being part of your family for 3 weeks.
We wish you the very best as healers and in your life journeys. May the goodness you are creating here move inward and outward everywhere. Do hope to keep in touch and come back someday.

This was my first visit to Vaidyagrama and what an experience it was. A friend of mine first told me about this place and advised me to come as soon as I could, and thankfully, I got the chance to do so. The first three days were very hard for me. I was away from everything I knew, feeling a bit lost, and as the medications started to act on my body, all the toxins began to come out. I felt bored, a little depressed, and missed my family and friends. Everything seemed difficult, the food, the smell of the spices, the treatments.
The doctors and therapists were so kind that I almost felt guilty for not being able to fully appreciate it at the beginning. But soon after, my body started to adjust to the medicines, and I began to feel better. I also made friends in the same illam, which changed everything. I was no longer lonely, they supported me, encouraged me with songs, and shared many talks, laughs, and experiences.
Listening to the doctors in the Mandapam became a daily highlight for me. I absorbed so much beautiful knowledge about life and health and learned what to adapt to my own lifestyle. I am deeply thankful for the kindness and compassion of Dr. Prameela and Dr. Harikrishnan. I also loved walking outside, surrounded by flowers, animals and even insects. It made me feel immersed in beauty and notice the small things I usually don’t take time to see. I hope that when I return home, the treatment will also help heal my sleep issues. A heartfelt thanks as well to Sandhya, Addayiva, and Shilpa. Your work is amazing; you made me feel like a newborn after each session.
Thank you to everyone at Vaidyagrama. I don’t want to say any more, except that I truly hope to come back soon.

From the moment I arrived at Vaidyagrama I have felt so well cared for. Being that I finished chemotherapy the day before I arrived, I was in a fairly weakened state – each doctor, therapist and staff member has taken such great care of me.
I’m particularly grateful to Dr. Vinod who has been guiding me through my full cancer recovery journey without a concern for money.
This place, the Vision, the architecture and vibrancy is like nothing I have ever seen before. I wish to return again and again.
Each concern was addressed as they arose, and I have nothing but positive feedback. My only recommendation is that there be a senior therapist in each treatment. Everyone is so lovely, but when Hema gets into the room, there is much more reverence for the process.
Thank you Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Anjali, Hema and everyone who worked so hard to bring me healing and balance.
Gratefully,

This was my fifth visit to Vaidyagrama. I stayed here for 15 days this time. Whenever life in the city takes its toll, this is where I come every other year to rejuvenate.
My journey with Ayurveda began back in 2008 under the guidance of Dr. Ramkumar. Since then, I have placed my trust in this path of healing, and it has brought remarkable changes in my health and well-being. Over the years, I have also been under the care of Dr. Harikrishnan, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Sajna and Dr. Prameela, each of whom has played a significant role in my recovery and balance. What makes Vaidyagrama special is that treatments here go to the root cause of ailments. With their support, I have been able to overcome chronic conditions like hypothyroidism and hypertension, and I continue to experience steady improvement in my overall quality of life while managing diabetes and seronegative rheumatoid arthritis.
For me, Vaidyagrama has become more than just a retreat, it is a health pilgrimage. The atmosphere, the energy and the purity of this space are unlike anywhere else in the world. You can feel it in the air, in the stillness and in the healing. My heartfelt appreciation to the doctors, therapists and everyone who supports the stay here. Every patient is treated with deep compassion and care. Each process is explained clearly, making you feel understood and safe. The difference these treatments have made in my health over the years has been profound, and I carry immense gratitude for Vaidyagrama and the doctors who have walked with me on this journey. And yes, I am coming back again.

It is my first visit to Vaidyagrama, and I am deeply grateful to my friends Agnes and Rajesh, who introduced me to this place. Here I experienced a true healing touch under the guidance of Dr. Ramanandan, with extended support and care from Dr. Prameela, Dr. Sajna, Dr. Vineesh and the well-trained therapists. It has been an amazing experience for me, healthcare with genuine compassion and commitment. Dr. Ramanandan and his team not only helped me with my health issues but also guided and encouraged me to overcome emotional challenges and understand the subtle consciousness of my lifestyle.
After spending 15 days at Vaidyagrama, I feel much more confident, composed and focused on leading a balanced and healthy life. I can truly say I received the best coaching and treatment here. Special thanks to Dr. Prameela, who became like a mentor to me, helping me recognize my strengths and correct myself. Though she is very young, she is already renowned as both an excellent doctor and a wonderful teacher.
I would also like to express my gratitude to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Ramadas, and Dr. Harikumar for patiently listening to me and providing a personalized treatment plan. Finally, my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ramkumar for creating this healing space that not only treats illnesses but also gives the feeling of an extended home, one that you can truly rely upon for a better life.
Thank you, Vaidyagrama. I will certainly return whenever I can.

This is my first time at Vaidyagrama, and what a beautiful journey it has been! From the very
first day, I felt welcomed with so much warmth and care. The doctors, therapists and staff treat
us not just as patients, but as part of a family. The atmosphere here is so peaceful — listening to the birds in the morning, watching the butterflies in the garden and enjoying the calm silence have been truly healing. Even the smallest requests, like hot water or a smile, were always met with kindness.
Special thanks to Dr. Arun, Dr. Vinod, Dr. Sreya and Dr. Rose for their constant guidance and care. Satheesh and the therapy team worked with such dedication, and the housekeeping staff took care of every detail with love.
The yoga and prayer sessions gave me inner strength, and the simple food reminded me of home. Each moment here felt nourishing for both body and mind.
I will surely return again, next time with my family, to experience this healing life once more.
With heartfelt gratitude,

Dear Vaidyagrama Team!
I came here not knowing where I was going. All I knew was an Ayurvedic place, where my friend Rashida ji always went, so it had to be “ACE”! After staying here for 2 weeks, I can say, the experience was beautiful. Amidst the green, fauna, flora, so colorful. The treatments were a treat. The prayers & Satsangs are not to be missed indeed! The highlight of my stay was to be looked after by the wonderful Doctors.
Dr. Rose, whose patience, care & calmness was AMAZING. She was there anytime I needed something! Dr. Ramadas’ philosophical discussions & CARE gave me “food for thought” as I look around EVERYWHERE. Many, many Thanks to ALL.

I am so grateful with my Guru Saint Ram Singh Ji Maharaj who put me here and showered grace for healing or be better. God Bless Vaidyagrama, Dr. Ramadas and all the doctors, staff and people here to make everything happen. This place, people, environment is so beautiful and full of love. We are very grateful to have come here to have learned and healed mentally and physically to another level in our lives. We look forward to continuing our path from this with the grace of God and Baba Sri Radhaswami.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
Thank you so much for the attentive care, amazing therapies, and insights into my body. I leave with a big smile! 21 days have flown by, and it is a bit sad to leave this family behind. Please continue the focus on community and the primacy of Indian spiritual practices as part of the very fabric of Vaidyagrama.
A few pieces of feedback:
It would be great for therapists/doctors to factor in patient mealtimes while scheduling therapies. Often times I have had to go into therapy with a full stomach or with a lot of hunger. Both are unpleasant.
I would like to see innovative eco-friendly solutions to the mosquito problems in the common areas. The outdoors are fantastic but impossible to enjoy due to the mosquitoes.
While limited internet is a great idea, often times it is not possible to disconnect from family or deal with situations. In those times just cellular service would suffice. I have had issues due to not having cell service. Having good cell service, but NOT internet would be ideal.
Thanks,

All my friends @ Vaidyagrama
This is 2nd home to me. Twice this year!! I just love it here. Feeling so cared for & loved. Dr. Ramadas is the most caring and down-to-earth person. Always smiling and giving you the confidence that nothing is wrong and all will be well. His positive energy is amazing. I am lucky to have Dr. Ramanandan also visit me every now and then to give me advice and confidence that all is going well. Dr. Rose, who I met for the 1st time, was always there early morning – late night. She took immense care of me and was always kind, polite and reassuring.
Dr. Arun also was there visiting and advising. A great team. All five stars. My therapists, Sameena and Shiny, were the best. I love them and they treated me with so much love. Even the two smiling persons Bristo and Dhanya were great support. The laundry staff were excellent and the housekeeping always helpful and did her job quietly and well.
Yes, the center has grown, and we are still getting very good care, but growing too big comes with its own drawbacks, so please don’t overgrow. The peace, the greenery and the gentle rain added to my wonderful stay here. Not forgetting the birds chirping. Wishing everyone here best of luck and God Bless.
Sorry, forgot Anu – She was a delight with her smiling face.

My stay here was for 21 days, and this was my first visit. I truly enjoyed my stay, and overall, the experience was very well organised in every aspect. The personal care and attention from the team of doctors to the therapists were excellent, which is one of the specialities of this place.
Some of the things I liked:
The daily lectures and Satsangs.
The invocation of the Dhanwantari Mantra before every treatment in the therapy room.
The therapists chant it sincerely each time.
The two temples are within the campus.
The natural ambience, waking up to the chirping of birds amidst greenery.
Therapists take ownership of their patients and follow the right protocols.
The high quality of the therapists.
Covered walking trails.
Timeliness in serving food and medicines.
The friendly, supportive and cheerful attitude of all staff.
The dress code followed by everyone, whether doctors or staff.
Key treatments like Vasti being performed by doctors.
My doctor Dr. Ramanandan and his team (Dr. Anagha, Dr. Sajna, Dr. Vineesh and the new addition Dr. Perumal Samy) took very good care in charting my treatment plan and monitoring my progress.
The staff serving food in my block were very helpful and always available when needed.
The food was good (considering it is for treatment purposes), though I felt the chutney could be improved and not just used as a garnish.
Some suggestions:
While all the therapists are good, some are truly exceptional. Bridging this small gap in
quality would make the experience even better. I am sure the doctors managing different illams are exchanging and sharing them notes/knowledge to bring together the best minds for treating patients. However, this is not always clear to patients. Sharing this process transparently may help patients feel more confident and avoid the impression that treatments are isolated.
Overall, it was a very pleasant and lovely experience. I already see improvement in my condition, and I look forward to monitoring my progress in the coming months after treatment.
Many thanks to the entire team!

My family, brothers, nephews and nieces are old hands at Vaidyagrama and at 82, I am late to
come! Better late than never. I have had a very pleasant stay in these wonderful surroundings and been taken care of by such devoted and wonderful people. I came here precipitated by my grandson Taha’s health issues to accompany him on his health journey and I know we have come to the right place.
My thanks to all the team –
Dr. Ramanandan, who is so hospitable and supportive.
Dr. Sreya, who is always present and attentive.
And Dr. Arun, who is always there to help.
The therapy staff, laundry & kitchen staff, and the admin office have always been very courteous and attentive. I hope to return.

To the Vaidyagrama Team,
I am very pleased that I finally experienced the magic of Vaidyagrama. The loving care of all the medical staff, therapists and housekeeping, been a joy to have them around me during my stay. You have created a very peaceful and comfortable environment to heal and enjoy.
My special thanks to Dr. Ramanand & Dr. Sreya for your support and care. Appreciation to therapists Bindu, Femila, Nimmy, Prema, Greeshma – who worked hard to ease my pain!! Dr. Arun for the dosage of my ghee!! He was so kind to hear it was a trying formula I had to take. Kitchen staff gave me a variety of Ayurvedic and Kerala taste. I look forward to returning in the near future. Till then, you all keep well and safe.
Warm regards,

How do I even begin to thank each & everyone here for the wonderful healing of body, mind & soul that I experienced here? I did not realise how spent and tired I felt/was until I came here to Vaidyagrama. And I leave with a sense of spirit & community of belonging, renewed. The loving personnel, the treatments and medicines, the hot nourishing meals, the beautiful environment & satsangs— All did their magic.
I especially looked forward each day to the:
Morning prayers at Vaidyeswaram
To my rendezvous with Lord Dhanwantri so lovingly cared for by the Panditji
To the Satsangs in Mandapam
To the question & answer sessions with Dr Ramkumar
To my daily meetings with Dr Sreeji, who patiently heard me out each day. Her advice was spot on and her demeanour kind but firm.
Every concern was dealt with promptly and lovingly @VG I want to especially appreciate & thank Dr. Ramadas for his ever-ready smile and exuberance, his amazing rendition of the chants & mantras and his generous giving of time whenever I caught him in the corridors. Dr. Renjisha for her time and patience, and laughter. Manju, Sashana, Keziya, Abeyson, Bindu, Ambika & Henna for the great loving care they gave me during my treatments. They are special! Madhumita, Deepti, Kartika and Sumathi – their smiles & friendly faces were always welcoming to queries and so many others. Each & every one makes this place what it is. Much gratitude to ALL.
A few very small suggestions:
Maybe ask patients to bring a dressing gown (optional), but if at least let them know that during treatments, it will make things easier (especially for people like me who did not know what to expect).
Maybe let them know that nails cannot be cut once treatment starts, a very minor point but would have been helpful to me.
This I know adds to work but maybe at least the first time a food is served, give it a label with its name? So, patients who are not familiar with the food will find it helpful. (Maybe down the line, it may be possible?)
Also, a big thank you to Rajeshji’s kitchen! Again, thank you for everything for showing a sustainable, healthy, spiritually led community-driven life is possible; for the wholesomeness.
Best wishes and many thanks,

I am so grateful for the love and care that was given to me by everyone at VG. I think this is the most peaceful and loving place I have ever been – this was exactly what I needed for burnout! Everything in VG was perfect! It was just beautiful being able to have quiet time and the ability to reflect.
I am grateful to Dr. Ramadas for his one-on-one mentoring, which provided the guidance I needed. I love his beautiful, strong voice during prayer, as it lifts the vibration of the room and enables me to connect to my heart. I love his smile and his dedication to helping people. I appreciated how he listened to all my questions and patiently helped me work through the answers, empowering me to become more able to better serve and provide unconditional love – not only to the world, but also to myself. In today’s world, we often don’t look after our body… and here, I learned the importance of that.
I loved all the satsangs. Dr. Ramkumar resonated with me. His wisdom and ability to communicate his message in such a simple way – I was like a sponge and was so grateful for his Q+A. So much wisdom, which I hope to adopt in my life. I was grateful to Dr. Ramadas for his care of my medical condition – the Ayurveda approach is incredible, dealing with the issues and not just the symptoms. Thank you to Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Anjali and Dr. Vinod for their love and care. Dr. Vinod was particularly able to address and provide practical ways of dealing with my spiritual practice, and I am grateful for that.
To the therapists – you are amazing! All the treatments were conducted professionally and with so much care. It was everyone, not only one – amazing people, but also the food, the bathing, and everything brought to your room, even the medical consultations – there was nothing for us to do, but rest and heal.
I hope that in the future, the importance and growth of your work escalates. I have no doubts that if we had more people going through this treatment, we would have the ability to transform more “love and peace” in the world. I know I have been inspired to give my service for supporting the positive vibration where I can....
And finally, the big thing for me was the sustainability of your operations – wow! The Nature and biodiversity you have brought back on the land, the use of solar power, rainwater/sewage management, organic fertilizers etc. – this would need a book on its own.
Thank you for showing the way a village can be so sustainable – this is such a great roadmap for others.
With much love and gratitude,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
This is the 3rd time we are here so it is very evident that is because of the warmth and healing we receive from here. Leaving with a heavy heart as it is hard to leave a team of “ANGELS”.
You guys are really amazing and I can swear by the treatment given here. I will leave my google review for more feedback.
Thank you specially to my favourite “Dr. Ramanandan” and also Dr. Sajith, Dr. Arsha, Dr. Megha, Dr. Rahul, Dr. Omprakash and the therapists who are real darlings. We are connected to this family emotionally and spiritually now more than being connected for medical reasons.
We love you!

We have had the most transformative healing journey at Vaidyagrama. The whole culture is beautiful; specially the schedule is very well-structured, starting from morning and evening prayers to satsangs. Satsangs were informative. Food was on point. Goshala was the highlight. However I would strongly advise to maintain cleanliness of utensils. Most importantly special thanks to Dr. Om Prakash ji for being the true guiding light in every aspect of our rejuvenating trip, accompanied by Dr. Ardent, Dr. Arsha, Dr. Megha, Dr. Sreeji and Dr Rahul. Special mention to Sruthi, Biju, Midhun, Vinod for taking such good care of us. Housekeeping staff with a new personality. We are going back with a new and fresh perspective in life.

Vaidyagrama is a truly spectacular place, where you feel like a baby being nurtured and protected. Every staff here is super caring and loving. The way this place is made is fantastic and I love that it is very rooted, and they haven’t commercialized themselves.
The whole idea of coming here is to HEAL truly. No marketing, No baffling, NOTHING. I absolutely LOVE the quality of their medicines, it is amazing. This place just feels so pure and blissful away from the fast-paced world amidst nature with birds chirping, snails moving peacefully, trees swaying. It offers a fresh perspective of life. It’s my second time here at Vaidyagrama and won’t be the last one.

Dearest VG Team,
After a two-year hiatus, I was back during the monsoon — and what a joyful homecoming it has been for me! Having come consistently for 5–6 years till 2023 and staying in 203 every time, moving to Illam 12 was a big shift for me — but I loved it! The new rooms are bright and airy, and the doctors, therapists and supporting staff are as amazing as always. Dr. Ramanandan, my salaams! How you manage your patients in about 30 rooms in one day is a feat — you’ve surely earned yourself a pair of roller skates! It was wonderful meeting the bright and vibrant Dr. Hima! A big thank you to all the therapists here — Sindhu, Princy, Greeshma, Gayathri — and my old favourites Devaki and Sameena.
Kudos Dr. Ramkumar for your Vision and generosity in creating this space and holding this amazing team together! Many, many thanks — and I will be back soon!

I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone – the therapists Nirmala, Greeshma, Kavitha, and the Doctors Harikumar, Sajna, Sreya, Anupama and Ardent. My gratitude also goes to the cleaners, cooks and all the staff who made my stay so comfortable and welcoming. A very special thanks to Dr. Ardent, who kindly checked on me multiple times a day and always made sure I was doing well. And a big thank you to Manager Athira, who went out of her way to accommodate us on such short notice – that truly meant so much. I deeply appreciate each and every one of you. I also love how sustainable this place is, and I hope it inspires more people to bring these practices into their own homes.

Respected Doctors, hospital and canteen staff & of course the therapists- the backbone/ supporting people cannot be ignored… The job done by all are great. One is better than other. Leaders are the best to lead entire team. Management study says only the best leaders can produce a best and leading organization and staff. Vaidyagrama is a perfect example for this. Regular meetings of all which I noticed is extremely good. Management could touch all nook, and the organization can always be in the right path then. And that happens here. Once again congratulations to all doctors for the pinpoint treatment and quality. Once again, all the very best and success to Vaidyagrama.

A smile on the face and patience by thought are the two big takeaways. The smiles of treatment staff, housekeeping, Doctors, and the founders, and their patience in handling are really amazing. Dr Sasi recommended this place to me, and on 22nd August, when I checked in all alone, I was not sure how my next 10 days would unfold. The only thing on my mind was the pain that brought me here and the belief I had in the treatment here. Spot on from day 1 until my last day, I feel relieved and uplifted by the founder team and doctors. I am leaving this place with a sense of accomplishment. I would love to come back and experience this TEMPLE OF HEALING – MIND, BODY, and SOUL. A perfect place to rejuvenate and heal our mind and body. Special thanks to therapists Ratheesh, Nimmi, housekeeping staff, Dr Arun, Dr Rose, and above all, Dr Ramanandan. You all made my stay comfortable and healing memorable.

What a relaxed stay I had! The love and care shown by everyone were inspiring. Thank you. The doctors, Dr Ramanandan, Dr Om Prakash, Dr Rahul, Dr Sreeji, and others were so generous with their time and counsel. The Therapists Biju, Vinod, Midhun, and others were great. The pantry staff was always smiling and attentive. So were the cleaning & housekeeping & laundry staff. The reception desk team was very helpful. The accounts department was very efficient. The only problem department was the stores. I had to call multiple times for a scarf and mosquito repellent. The kitchen made extremely tasty food, except for the ‘torture’ in between when I was undergoing Snehapanam. The food was tasteless, but I was very grateful because I lost a lot of weight!!! I really liked the restricted timing of Wifi. I leave relaxed, refreshed & lighter. And Fiona, my wife, will be happy that I stayed my full 22 days. And of course, the healing process outcome is great!

As a 16-year-old, this experience has been amazing for me and at first quite difficult, but now I feel the treatments, the food, and the peaceful environment have all supported my body. I am leaving this centre not only in better health, but with more knowledge and practices which I can take back to my home and daily life.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for all the love, care, friendship, guidance, and treatment I received during my 21-day stay here. When I first arrived, I was surprised that my room number was 111. For the past 3–4 years, the numbers 1111 and 111 have held a very significant influence on my life, and staying in room number 111 felt like a Divine coincidence and a positive space to begin my health and wellness journey here. My sincere gratitude and thanks to Dr Vinod for all his care, guidance, and the wonderful treatment plan he put together for me. Dr Vinod also took care of my father, who is also here with me, with utmost care and love. I am very grateful for the same.
Thank you, Dr Renjisha, for constantly checking on me and enquiring about my progress. It meant a lot to me. Thanks to the therapists Manju Chechi, Darshana Chechi, Kiran Bala, Karthika, and Hema Chechi, for all the treatments you did for me with so much dedication, love, and care, with a beautiful healing touch.
I have spent the time here at Vaidyagrama in peace, surrounded by Nature, birds, and the mornings' peaceful wandering so beautifully around. I am grateful for the morning and evening prayers led by Dr Ramadas and the temple here. Thank you to everyone who was part of the care and overall well-being. The staff who take care of all the plants and gardens, the kitchen staff who meticulously prepare my meals, to the housekeeping staff who diligently and quietly maintain my room with the change of bedcovers, to Priya and the reception team who always respond to every need with a smile and promptness.
Thank you to everyone at Vaidyagrama! Namaste.

This place completely relaxes me. Everything is well organised. Authentic Ayurveda treatment we are getting there. I want to express my appreciation for the warm hospitality and friendly behaviour of doctors and staff. The environment is very beautiful and peaceful. However, I have some suggestions: Please keep a little bit of laughter class after Yoga. Food you can improve. It is essential. You should keep two kitchens. One for patients, one for others.
Thank you,

Every visit fills us with new vigour and enthusiasm. All and everyone involved are very cooperative, helpful, and ready to provide the best solution. Best therapy and medicine. Only one suggestion - if possible, one cook having knowledge of North Indian food can be deployed. All therapists, doctors, and other staff are very competent, helpful...
Thanks!

Another year, another homecoming… Vaidyagrama holds a very special place in my mind from the moment I arrived the very first time (in December 2023) and persists till today — with no end of leases and returning here, coming back to Source, through the Tatwa Tantu Retreat that brought us all together in this sacred space and its very high dimension. Time is a different element and rhythm, and is without the rush and race of the outside world. With more surrender and grace to nourish the body–mind–spirit while also tuning into the ancient wisdom for healing, recovery, and rejuvenation. Mikka Nandri/ Dhanyavad /Sukriya/ thanks to all my Vaidyagrama family, including therapists, housekeeping staff, pharmacy, security personnel, admin, animals, birds, and all the care-seeking guests & caregivers who are family from here.
Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu!

The 14-day stay at Vaidyagrama was a transformative DIVINE experience. Lots of learnings and takeaways. Double dhamaka was the Onam celebrations and the spiritual Retreat. The Pookkalams, peacocks, and the bird chirping will ever remain with me. My body is feeling very light. I never knew the body could function with very little food, no coffee, no sweets, and still survive. Will come back again. The staff and the doctors were extremely courteous and caring. The food was very healthy and nutritious.
Lots of love,

I came to Vaidyagrama on August 25, 2025, quite sick. With pain in my right knee, till my ankles, arms, and up to the knuckles on my right hand & fingers. The team set to work on me from the same day. Within 4-5 days, my knee pain became negligible. The treatments continued, and now the pain in the hand & fingers has considerably reduced. I feel lighter, full of energy & health. A new perspective on taking care of my health first, before making the world a better place, has come up. Don’t know how long it will last, but will surely try, as I am already 65 years old. All my progress in health was possible only with the love & care extended to me by the Vaidyas, Panchakarma & support staff. Their unconditional love & care added to the holistic healing, along with prayers & satsangs.
Much love,

This is our 5th or 6th visit to Vaidyagrama; the reason is obvious – the perfect place to heal the body and mind. The doctors are amazing, and the support staff are very helpful. Let me mention a few names: Dr HariKrishnan, Dr Prameela, Dr Anagha. This has been a treat as 1st time. We came during an auspicious period, so there were great Speakers & Swamijis to cover topics in the Devi Tatwa Tantu Retreat & link to our atma.
Thanks for keeping this place – AUTHENTIC.

It is truly a divine experience here at Vaidyagrama. I am happy to have witnessed Tatwa Tantu and the thread of life that interweaves all life as a wonderful learning experience. Thanks to the team of Doctors, Dr Ramanandan, for his unwavering guidance on the treatments and his attention to everyone. Thanks to the therapists' team, Nimmi, Greeshma, and Bindu are always kind, smiling, and supportive to me. Hope this kind of Divine care is more affordable to the Indian community. This place seems more to Westerners.
Good luck for all future endeavours of growth & service.

Dear VG team, Thank you very much for a comfortable and fulfilling stay. I had heard about the Vaidyagrama ecosystem and really found it a green, clean, and sustainable ecosystem. I feel especially blessed to have been part of the Onam Celebrations here, to have witnessed our beautiful doctors dancing, Dr Ramanadan's singing, and the colourful pookkalam. It was wonderful to attend the festivals. I also feel blessed to have been at a special time to partake in the Tatwa Tantu Retreat of the supreme Mother Goddess, and witness the homams every morning with the other devotees, and a special thanks to Praveen Namboodiri for his flawless homams. A big thank you to my doctors, Harikumar, Dr. Hima, Dr. Anupama, and Dr Ardent, as the younger brigade, but so caring and kind. And to my therapists- Nirmala, Sindhu, Princy, and Athira.
Best wishes and gratitude,

My 22-day stay at Vaidyagrama has been nothing short of a transformative journey, one that touched not only my body but also my mind and spirit. Under the compassionate and deeply knowledgeable guidance of Dr Ramanandan, I was able to fully surrender to the healing process, embracing the discipline and purity of authentic Ayurveda. I followed every instruction with devotion, and I am truly grateful to witness such significant results in such a short span.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr Hima, Dr Ardent, and the incredible team of therapists Sindhu, Kavita, Princy, Gayathri, Athir, and Nirmala - each of whom contributed their warmth, skill, and care with such dedication. The entire staff, without exception, radiated kindness and made my stay comfortable and serene.
The environment at Vaidyagrama is a heaven in itself. The gentle rustle of leaves, the calming rhythm of daily prayers, the soulful morning and evening chants, and the joyful Wednesday group lunches and festive celebrations all created a cocoon of peace around me. The peacocks dancing in the courtyards, the lush green plantations, and the pure air made me feel connected to Nature in its most sacred form. As I carry home three months of medicine, I also carry immense gratitude in my heart — for the healing, for the people, and for the space that made this possible. May Vaidyagrama continue to flourish and bring wellness to many more.
With deep gratitude,

I don’t think it's possible to put all the heartfelt gratitude I have written onto a piece of paper! My first panchakarma experience was so transformative for my mind, body, and spirit, I wouldn't change a single thing. The amount of guidance, support, grace, and patience we received from the entire Vaidyagrama community has been nothing short of extraordinary. And we will leave here tomorrow a whole light lighter, brighter, and more peaceful than when we arrived.
THANK YOU, thank you, thank you to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Arun, Dr Rose, Dr Sreya, Seema, Prema, Nimmi, Greeshma, Manu, Preetha, Vasanthamani, and so many others for all the gifts you bring to this place of healing. None of this would be possible without your dharma, your divinity, your dedication, your love.

What I felt during this one week of Ayurveda, I've had a lot of different treatments elsewhere so far. The treatment to get rid of the "pain and suffering" right now was a remedy. I've spent money and time, but none of them had lasted long, and I was addicted every day. In this Panchakarma, the medicine I've been taking for many years is honestly shocking; we're sticking to my body as a toxin, and I was honestly shocked by the fact that I couldn't even purify it fully in less than a week. However, it should not be the same treatment as before. Take your time and look at it from the ground up. Once again, I felt that it was important to change the environment, review your life, eat carefully, live a regular life, take in what is good for your body, listen to the voice of your body, and spend your time happily. It's very simple and precious. That's what I really need right now. Everything touched my heart.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I am truly blessed to be a part of this beautiful family who are constantly looking to serve & heal patients so unconditionally. Never in my life have I seen Doctors as considerate as the team here. My heartfelt gratitude & thank you to Dr Ramadas, Dr Mojin, Dr Renjisha, & Dr Anjali. Big thank you & gratitude to the therapists too, who were always so professional & caring. The housekeeping staff & the entire support team were also extremely efficient. To sum it all up, my trip to VG was SUPER CALIFRAGILISTIC EXPIALIDOCIOUS!

Vaidyagrama – A great Ayurveda treatment place everyone should experience. Vaidyalayam 3 is where I spent my 21 days from Sept 1, 2025. Great doctors, Wonderful therapists, Neat and clean housekeeping. Sajna doctor, Anagha doctor, Prameela doctor, Perumalsamy doctor, Vineesh doctor, Lakshmiamma, Vincy, Shoba, Addaiyva, Bindu, Aneeta, Sandhya, Hema, Bala, Jyothika, Preeta (trainee), Femila, Ahalya, Renjith are all the ones who spoke the language of Smile, Kindness, Sincerity, Excellent work, Knowledge, Talent, Care with warmth, Better treatment. This will be ever remembered and visualised. All the staff helped me in every way to make my stay wonderful. I experienced God, Swamiji, parents, friends, and family here, still being away. One observation – All the people here look half their original age! Fresh air, good food, work culture, detailed planning, and execution must be the reasons. Wishing Vaidyagrama to reach new heights and serve so many people in the country and outside the country. I feel truly blessed that I had the opportunity to experience this place. God bless all!

My 2nd time visiting, first time for treatment! Can say my view on this place remains the same - It has positive energy and good vibes from the vaidyas to the cleaning staff and everyone here, I am always made to feel at home in this special place. My wishes for the future! Vaidyagrama retains its strong core values that make it so unique and enable it to provide such a holistic and healing environment for patients. Also hope the construction will end soon, as it disturbs the peace and serenity a great deal! I've really enjoyed being in cluster 5. Staying in rooms with the communal eating space is a big plus, and it has the potential to be very beneficial. But please fix the doors slamming situation urgently; your patients’ sleep is of utmost importance, and this is my major complaint. Have already left a 5-star Google review for my brother’s treatment. I will continue to inform those who are interested back in the UK about this place and the great work. See you again!

My experience at Vaidyagrama was rejuvenating. The doctors and staff were exceptionally polite, courteous, and helpful, guiding me through the process with ease and expertise. The food was healthy, hygienic, and thoughtfully prepared. The surroundings were clean, well-maintained, and serene, creating a peaceful ambience for healing. The prayers and satsangs added a spiritual dimension, providing positive vibes. Overall, it was a nourishing experience, highly recommended for those seeking holistic wellness and detox treatments.

This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama, and it certainly will not be my last. The one-on-one care and treatment with a more conservative and traditional approach is very good. Special thanks to my doctor, Dr Harikrishnan. Almost at the end of my 21 days, I feel rejuvenated and healed. The calm and peaceful atmosphere with spiritual dimensions removes all stress and anxiety. We always feel safe and secure. The therapists, two of whom were Sobha and Laxmi, were amazing. My cleaner was also very good, and the room was always very clean. The mosquito net at night was a thoughtful touch.
Some feedback - Inadequate lighting in the bathroom, mosquitoes in the indoor area during the time of Satsangs and Puja, no mirror in the room, and delay by Doctors in administering Basti after completion of therapy. Overall, a big thank you to all the staff, including reception and admin, who are always polite and welcoming.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, Thank you so much for your support. This time, my friend Nazomi and I organised the Ayurveda retreat for the Japanese. When I came here in March 2025, my first impression was so good. That's why I chose to hold the retreat here. I couldn't imagine that we held the retreat at the other Ayurveda centre. There are so many doctors who have such amazing knowledge and a sense of humour!! And there are such wonderful nurses here as well. They made me calm down, and I felt I became a child. I am thankful to the cooking team for giving me tasty food. That was amazing for preparing each patient!! And the back office team was so friendly. They helped a lot as well. I can't stop writing about having good experiences!! I will come back again. Wish you all a blessed life!
Thank you with love,

Namaskaram! Thank you very much for the hospitality and treatment. The treatment methods and proper coordination are a good sign. Doctors and other staff coordination is also appreciable. Vaidyagrama is so different from other Ayurveda centres. Had got the opportunity to visit so many Ayurveda Hospitals. Some type of dedication to Service. A family type of coordination. Spiritual with a traditional education programme. Respecting the Hierarchy Picturesque Campus Fractural and Sentimental symbols of Ayurveda Common Staff Welfare Hundi. After all, we can see a “concern” for all (including the workers).
Opinions/ Suggestions:
Laundry System - washing should be improved
Using the mobiles in a one-way presentation system is good, but the other side is also important

My recent short stay of 6 days at Vaidyagrama has been a truly wonderful experience, even though it was much less than the usual 21-day program. The care, attention, and warmth I received from the entire team made me feel completely at ease. The atmosphere is calm, natural, and healing. Surrounded by greenery itself brings peace of mind. The doctors offered excellent guidance and shared valuable advice for my long-term well-being, while therapies were carried out with great dedication. Special thanks to Dr Vinod, Dr Hima, Girish, Ganesh, Abhijit, and Lalu. Food was simple, nutritious, and very thoughtfully prepared, supporting the treatment process. Deeply grateful to everyone here!

Dear Vaidyagrama team, I have been taking the treatment from you last 10 years, and I know that it has been the life's mission of my main doctor, Dr Ramanandan, to help people for humanity, by treating their illnesses with Ayurveda. He has been dedicating his bigger part of his life to fulfil this commitment. Many times, I have appreciated his expertise and readiness to help me in my long-lasting battle with my chronic disease. Thank you. Thank you, my main consulting doctor, Dr Harikumar. Thank yo,u Aparna ji. Thank you Dr Perumal, Dr Megha, Dr Mojin, Dr Renjisha. Thank you, Ratheesh, Santosh, Libin, Aneesh, Bindu, Binil, Albi, Abhijit, Lalu Prasad... and all others who have been taking care of me this time. Vaidyagrama is a piece of higher human culture in the present uncivilised world, with great appreciation. Kindly Chant: HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE… YOUR LIFE WILL BE SUBLIME AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY!

We took treatment for our 6-year-old daughter, Poorna, for a short period of 5 days. Our chief Physician, Dr Ramadas, initially made efforts to connect with her & establish a good rapport with her, which helped a lot to make her cooperate with the treatment here and lessen her anxiety. He gave us so much confidence and reassurance, and more importantly, guided us through the therapy and how to take it forward beyond the treatment and stay here. The other doctors, Dr Mojin and Dr Renjisha, made sure she was comfortable and was able to follow the treatment & diet prescribed here. The way they kept monitoring our progress and suggestions made me feel so much supported. Though my daughter was very anxious, reluctant, restless, and a bit uncooperative to begin the treatment here, the warm and friendly therapists befriended her to make her open up and feel more at home and rested. The rich and abundant Nature, along with a calm, sattvic diet and serene ambience, nourished her a lot.
As we leave this healing space today, I can see her much calmer, cheerful, and open, seems to be more listening and grounded. Deep gratitude to all, the beautiful souls and bright spirits, for coming together to create such an enriching and healing space in harmony with Nature. May this beautiful community thrive and expand, reaching and impacting more lives and families.
Lots of love & prayers,

Namaskaram to the entire Vaidyagrama team!
Thank you again for such a long, peaceful, nurturing space to receive the deep art of Panchakarma. Here we can feel the fortress with Nature to design the "perfect healing environment", the reminder of peace as part of the great family of Nature. The protection you offer, along with the reminder of our own Nature, helps us to restore the feeling of wholeness, realisation of great good fortune, and responsibility to have a miraculous body to take care of.
Thank you, Dr Ramadas, for your constant love and example of divine respect for the body, your joyful presence, laughter, and your sweet caring. Thank you, Dr Renjisha, for our long conversations, where you would patiently answer all my many questions, and I am grateful for your care and loving attention. Thank you to my loving therapist, Manju, for your gentle touch, careful explanations, and your calm & consistent presence. To Bindu and Bala, too, for your kindness and care. Also, thank you to Dr Mojin for your tongue analysis conversations. Thank you also to Darshana and Kesiya for your attention and support throughout the days. Such a beautiful team of caregivers sharing one focus. I am also grateful to the staff I never got to see - the amazing kitchen staff. I loved the food and the nourishing tea. By the gardeners who keep the green space so beautiful. Also, thank you to Mallika, who kept my space spotless and full of good energy. Your heart and smile cleared the room of any darkness! Thank you to the amazing Reception staff who keep the whole place connected, all day & night; the office staff who keep so efficient & busy, we never see you, but you too are keeping the order & blessings of Lakshmi holding the whole place in good space. Thank you to the priests Rajneesh and the other, who instil the heart of Vaidyagrama with constant devotion, honour, and light. It is truly a miraculous place to spend time, healing not only the body, but currently, maybe more importantly, the mind.
With great respect for all you do & great gratitude,

Dear Dr Ramanandan, Dr Sreya, my therapists, Greeshma, Bindu & Femila. Massive gratitude for all of your care, concern, attention, and warmth, which you have welcomed me, treated me & engaged with me at every step. This has truly been 3 weeks of bliss!
Dr Ramanandan, I am lost for words when it comes to the depth of knowledge, patience & dedication with which you planned my treatment & educated me along the way. So I understood the value of each step! I am going back a healthier, lighter & happier version of myself. Dr Sreya, you literally became my family away from home. You were on your toes to ensure my well-being was paramount. I will miss our chat! Greeshma, my dear – I have only blessings for you and will miss your radiant smile & affectionate way in which you treated me. You are an exceptional therapist. I wish you great success!
Vaidyagrama has left an indelible mark on me. I am indebted to Dr Rama Prasad for introducing me to this paradise.

But now I feel I am perfectly going back to my normal, painless life. I must thank Dr Harikumar, Dr Rahul, Dr Anagha, and Dr Sreeji - They treated me with their fullest focus, took care of me, and kept asking me how I am doing every day. Then the therapists Vinod, Biju & other supporting staff treat me like their sibling. Thank You for Everything… May God Bless Vaidyagrama!

A smile on the face and patience by thought are the two big takeaways. The smiles of treatment staff, housekeeping, Doctors, and the founders, and their patience in handling are really amazing. Dr Sasi recommended this place to me, and on 22nd August, when I checked in all alone, I was not sure how my next 10 days would unfold. The only thing on my mind was the pain that brought me here and the belief I had in the treatment here. Spot on from day 1 until my last day, I feel relieved and uplifted by the founder team and doctors. I am leaving this place with a sense of accomplishment. I would love to come back and experience this TEMPLE OF HEALING – MIND, BODY, and SOUL. A perfect place to rejuvenate and heal our mind and body. Special thanks to therapists Ratheesh, Nimmi, housekeeping staff, Dr Arun, Dr Rose, and above all, Dr Ramanandan. You all made my stay comfortable and healing memorable.

What a relaxed stay I had! The love and care shown by everyone were inspiring. Thank you. The doctors, Dr Ramanandan, Dr Om Prakash, Dr Rahul, Dr Sreeji, and others were so generous with their time and counsel. The Therapists Biju, Vinod, Midhun, and others were great. The pantry staff was always smiling and attentive. So were the cleaning & housekeeping & laundry staff. The reception desk team was very helpful. The accounts department was very efficient. The only problem department was the stores. I had to call multiple times for a scarf and mosquito repellent. The kitchen made extremely tasty food, except for the ‘torture’ in between when I was undergoing Snehapanam. The food was tasteless, but I was very grateful because I lost a lot of weight!!! I really liked the restricted timing of Wifi. I leave relaxed, refreshed & lighter. And Fiona, my wife, will be happy that I stayed my full 22 days. And of course, the healing process outcome is great!

As a 16-year-old, this experience has been amazing for me and at first quite difficult, but now I feel the treatments, the food, and the peaceful environment have all supported my body. I am leaving this centre not only in better health, but with more knowledge and practices which I can take back to my home and daily life.

A very heartfelt greeting to you all from me and my beloved husband…Namaste. My health journey at Vaidyagrama from 14.08.2025 to 09.09.2025 has been a deeply transformative experience.

The selfless care of the devoted and dedicated team of highly qualified and experienced doctors, the ever-smiling therapists, the skilled and talented staff wedded to their duties, and the soulful environment have touched us very much beyond imagination.
Truly, Vaidyagrama is a heavenly abode — a miraculous Temple of healing where body and mind are restored in harmony.

This is my first experience here @ Vaidyagrama, and I am glad to be here. Whatever I learn here, I will try to keep it for my lifetime. Thank you, everyone, for working on me. Big thanks to all the Doctors, all the therapists, and the housekeeping.
Thank you all again for looking after me & my health. Thank you –

Dear Vaidyagrama family, My time at Vaidyagrama has been a truly meaningful part of my healing journey. The atmosphere here is filled with simplicity, authenticity, and deep care. I would especially like to express my gratitude to Dr Sreeji, Dr Arsha, Dr Megha & Dr Rahul for their compassionate guidance and genuine concern — they made me feel supported at every step. I leave Vaidyagrama with hope and a sense of renewal, and I look forward to coming back here once again — with even more positivity in life.
With gratitude & blessings to the entire Vaidyagrama family,

Dear Vaidyagrama family, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for all the love, care, friendship, guidance, and treatment I received during my 21-day stay here. When I first arrived, I was surprised that my room number was 111. For the past 3–4 years, the numbers 1111 and 111 have held a very significant influence on my life, and staying in room number 111 felt like a Divine coincidence and a positive space to begin my health and wellness journey here. My sincere gratitude and thanks to Dr Vinod for all his care, guidance, and the wonderful treatment plan he put together for me. Dr Vinod also took care of my father, who is also here with me, with utmost care and love. I am very grateful for the same.
Thank you, Dr Renjisha, for constantly checking on me and enquiring about my progress. It meant a lot to me. Thanks to the therapists Manju Chechi, Darshana Chechi, Kiran Bala, Karthika, and Hema Chechi, for all the treatments you did for me with so much dedication, love, and care, with a beautiful healing touch.
I have spent the time here at Vaidyagrama in peace, surrounded by Nature, birds, and the mornings' peaceful wandering so beautifully around. I am grateful for the morning and evening prayers led by Dr Ramadas and the temple here. Thank you to everyone who was part of the care and overall well-being. The staff who take care of all the plants and gardens, the kitchen staff who meticulously prepare my meals, to the housekeeping staff who diligently and quietly maintain my room with the change of bedcovers, to Priya and the reception team who always respond to every need with a smile and promptness.
Thank you to everyone at Vaidyagrama! Namaste.

This place completely relaxes me. Everything is well organised. Authentic Ayurveda treatment we are getting there. I want to express my appreciation for the warm hospitality and friendly behaviour of doctors and staff. The environment is very beautiful and peaceful. However, I have some suggestions: Please keep a little bit of laughter class after Yoga. Food you can improve. It is essential. You should keep two kitchens. One for patients, one for others.
Thank you,

Every visit fills us with new vigour and enthusiasm. All and everyone involved are very cooperative, helpful, and ready to provide the best solution. Best therapy and medicine. Only one suggestion - if possible, one cook having knowledge of North Indian food can be deployed. All therapists, doctors, and other staff are very competent, helpful...
Thanks!

Another year, another homecoming… Vaidyagrama holds a very special place in my mind from the moment I arrived the very first time (in December 2023) and persists till today — with no end of leases and returning here, coming back to Source, through the Tatwa Tantu Retreat that brought us all together in this sacred space and its very high dimension. Time is a different element and rhythm, and is without the rush and race of the outside world. With more surrender and grace to nourish the body–mind–spirit while also tuning into the ancient wisdom for healing, recovery, and rejuvenation. Mikka Nandri/ Dhanyavad /Sukriya/ thanks to all my Vaidyagrama family, including therapists, housekeeping staff, pharmacy, security personnel, admin, animals, birds, and all the care-seeking guests & caregivers who are family from here.
Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu!

The 14-day stay at Vaidyagrama was a transformative DIVINE experience. Lots of learnings and takeaways. Double dhamaka was the Onam celebrations and the spiritual Retreat. The Pookkalams, peacocks, and the bird chirping will ever remain with me. My body is feeling very light. I never knew the body could function with very little food, no coffee, no sweets, and still survive. Will come back again. The staff and the doctors were extremely courteous and caring. The food was very healthy and nutritious.
Lots of love,

I came to Vaidyagrama on August 25, 2025, quite sick. With pain in my right knee, till my ankles, arms, and up to the knuckles on my right hand & fingers. The team set to work on me from the same day. Within 4-5 days, my knee pain became negligible. The treatments continued, and now the pain in the hand & fingers has considerably reduced. I feel lighter, full of energy & health. A new perspective on taking care of my health first, before making the world a better place, has come up. Don’t know how long it will last, but will surely try, as I am already 65 years old. All my progress in health was possible only with the love & care extended to me by the Vaidyas, Panchakarma & support staff. Their unconditional love & care added to the holistic healing, along with prayers & satsangs.
Much love,

This is our 5th or 6th visit to Vaidyagrama; the reason is obvious – the perfect place to heal the body and mind. The doctors are amazing, and the support staff are very helpful. Let me mention a few names: Dr HariKrishnan, Dr Prameela, Dr Anagha. This has been a treat as 1st time. We came during an auspicious period, so there were great Speakers & Swamijis to cover topics in the Devi Tatwa Tantu Retreat & link to our atma.
Thanks for keeping this place – AUTHENTIC.

It is truly a divine experience here at Vaidyagrama. I am happy to have witnessed Tatwa Tantu and the thread of life that interweaves all life as a wonderful learning experience. Thanks to the team of Doctors, Dr Ramanandan, for his unwavering guidance on the treatments and his attention to everyone. Thanks to the therapists' team, Nimmi, Greeshma, and Bindu are always kind, smiling, and supportive to me. Hope this kind of Divine care is more affordable to the Indian community. This place seems more to Westerners.
Good luck for all future endeavours of growth & service.

Dear VG team, Thank you very much for a comfortable and fulfilling stay. I had heard about the Vaidyagrama ecosystem and really found it a green, clean, and sustainable ecosystem. I feel especially blessed to have been part of the Onam Celebrations here, to have witnessed our beautiful doctors dancing, Dr Ramanadan's singing, and the colourful pookkalam. It was wonderful to attend the festivals. I also feel blessed to have been at a special time to partake in the Tatwa Tantu Retreat of the supreme Mother Goddess, and witness the homams every morning with the other devotees, and a special thanks to Praveen Namboodiri for his flawless homams. A big thank you to my doctors, Harikumar, Dr. Hima, Dr. Anupama, and Dr Ardent, as the younger brigade, but so caring and kind. And to my therapists- Nirmala, Sindhu, Princy, and Athira.
Best wishes and gratitude,

My 22-day stay at Vaidyagrama has been nothing short of a transformative journey, one that touched not only my body but also my mind and spirit. Under the compassionate and deeply knowledgeable guidance of Dr Ramanandan, I was able to fully surrender to the healing process, embracing the discipline and purity of authentic Ayurveda. I followed every instruction with devotion, and I am truly grateful to witness such significant results in such a short span.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr Hima, Dr Ardent, and the incredible team of therapists Sindhu, Kavita, Princy, Gayathri, Athir, and Nirmala - each of whom contributed their warmth, skill, and care with such dedication. The entire staff, without exception, radiated kindness and made my stay comfortable and serene.
The environment at Vaidyagrama is a heaven in itself. The gentle rustle of leaves, the calming rhythm of daily prayers, the soulful morning and evening chants, and the joyful Wednesday group lunches and festive celebrations all created a cocoon of peace around me. The peacocks dancing in the courtyards, the lush green plantations, and the pure air made me feel connected to Nature in its most sacred form. As I carry home three months of medicine, I also carry immense gratitude in my heart — for the healing, for the people, and for the space that made this possible. May Vaidyagrama continue to flourish and bring wellness to many more.
With deep gratitude,

I don’t think it's possible to put all the heartfelt gratitude I have written onto a piece of paper! My first panchakarma experience was so transformative for my mind, body, and spirit, I wouldn't change a single thing. The amount of guidance, support, grace, and patience we received from the entire Vaidyagrama community has been nothing short of extraordinary. And we will leave here tomorrow a whole light lighter, brighter, and more peaceful than when we arrived.
THANK YOU, thank you, thank you to Dr Ramanandan, Dr Arun, Dr Rose, Dr Sreya, Seema, Prema, Nimmi, Greeshma, Manu, Preetha, Vasanthamani, and so many others for all the gifts you bring to this place of healing. None of this would be possible without your dharma, your divinity, your dedication, your love.

What I felt during this one week of Ayurveda, I've had a lot of different treatments elsewhere so far. The treatment to get rid of the "pain and suffering" right now was a remedy. I've spent money and time, but none of them had lasted long, and I was addicted every day. In this Panchakarma, the medicine I've been taking for many years is honestly shocking; we're sticking to my body as a toxin, and I was honestly shocked by the fact that I couldn't even purify it fully in less than a week. However, it should not be the same treatment as before. Take your time and look at it from the ground up. Once again, I felt that it was important to change the environment, review your life, eat carefully, live a regular life, take in what is good for your body, listen to the voice of your body, and spend your time happily. It's very simple and precious. That's what I really need right now. Everything touched my heart.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I am truly blessed to be a part of this beautiful family who are constantly looking to serve & heal patients so unconditionally. Never in my life have I seen Doctors as considerate as the team here. My heartfelt gratitude & thank you to Dr Ramadas, Dr Mojin, Dr Renjisha, & Dr Anjali. Big thank you & gratitude to the therapists too, who were always so professional & caring. The housekeeping staff & the entire support team were also extremely efficient. To sum it all up, my trip to VG was SUPER CALIFRAGILISTIC EXPIALIDOCIOUS!

Vaidyagrama – A great Ayurveda treatment place everyone should experience. Vaidyalayam 3 is where I spent my 21 days from Sept 1, 2025. Great doctors, Wonderful therapists, Neat and clean housekeeping. Sajna doctor, Anagha doctor, Prameela doctor, Perumalsamy doctor, Vineesh doctor, Lakshmiamma, Vincy, Shoba, Addaiyva, Bindu, Aneeta, Sandhya, Hema, Bala, Jyothika, Preeta (trainee), Femila, Ahalya, Renjith are all the ones who spoke the language of Smile, Kindness, Sincerity, Excellent work, Knowledge, Talent, Care with warmth, Better treatment. This will be ever remembered and visualised. All the staff helped me in every way to make my stay wonderful. I experienced God, Swamiji, parents, friends, and family here, still being away. One observation – All the people here look half their original age! Fresh air, good food, work culture, detailed planning, and execution must be the reasons. Wishing Vaidyagrama to reach new heights and serve so many people in the country and outside the country. I feel truly blessed that I had the opportunity to experience this place. God bless all!

My 2nd time visiting, first time for treatment! Can say my view on this place remains the same - It has positive energy and good vibes from the vaidyas to the cleaning staff and everyone here, I am always made to feel at home in this special place. My wishes for the future! Vaidyagrama retains its strong core values that make it so unique and enable it to provide such a holistic and healing environment for patients. Also hope the construction will end soon, as it disturbs the peace and serenity a great deal! I've really enjoyed being in cluster 5. Staying in rooms with the communal eating space is a big plus, and it has the potential to be very beneficial. But please fix the doors slamming situation urgently; your patients’ sleep is of utmost importance, and this is my major complaint. Have already left a 5-star Google review for my brother’s treatment. I will continue to inform those who are interested back in the UK about this place and the great work. See you again!

The food was healthy, hygienic, and thoughtfully prepared. The surroundings were clean, well-maintained, and serene, creating a peaceful ambience for healing. The prayers and satsangs added a spiritual dimension, providing positive vibes. Overall, it was a nourishing experience, highly recommended for those seeking holistic wellness and detox treatments.

This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama, and it certainly will not be my last. The one-on-one care and treatment with a more conservative and traditional approach is very good. Special thanks to my doctor, Dr Harikrishnan. Almost at the end of my 21 days, I feel rejuvenated and healed. The calm and peaceful atmosphere with spiritual dimensions removes all stress and anxiety. We always feel safe and secure. The therapists, two of whom were Sobha and Laxmi, were amazing. My cleaner was also very good, and the room was always very clean. The mosquito net at night was a thoughtful touch.
Some feedback - Inadequate lighting in the bathroom, mosquitoes in the indoor area during the time of Satsangs and Puja, no mirror in the room, and delay by Doctors in administering Basti after completion of therapy. Overall, a big thank you to all the staff, including reception and admin, who are always polite and welcoming.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, Thank you so much for your support. This time, my friend Nazomi and I organised the Ayurveda retreat for the Japanese. When I came here in March 2025, my first impression was so good. That's why I chose to hold the retreat here. I couldn't imagine that we held the retreat at the other Ayurveda centre. There are so many doctors who have such amazing knowledge and a sense of humour!! And there are such wonderful nurses here as well. They made me calm down, and I felt I became a child. I am thankful to the cooking team for giving me tasty food. That was amazing for preparing each patient!! And the back office team was so friendly. They helped a lot as well. I can't stop writing about having good experiences!! I will come back again. Wish you all a blessed life!

Namaskaram! Thank you very much for the hospitality and treatment. The treatment methods and proper coordination are a good sign. Doctors and other staff coordination is also appreciable. Vaidyagrama is so different from other Ayurveda centres. Had got the opportunity to visit so many Ayurveda Hospitals. Some type of dedication to Service. A family type of coordination. Spiritual with a traditional education programme. Respecting the Hierarchy Picturesque Campus Fractural and Sentimental symbols of Ayurveda Common Staff Welfare Hundi. After all, we can see a “concern” for all (including the workers).
Opinions/ Suggestions:
Laundry System - washing should be improved
Using the mobiles in a one-way presentation system is good, but the other side is also important

My recent short stay of 6 days at Vaidyagrama has been a truly wonderful experience, even though it was much less than the usual 21-day program. The care, attention, and warmth I received from the entire team made me feel completely at ease. The atmosphere is calm, natural, and healing. Surrounded by greenery itself brings peace of mind. The doctors offered excellent guidance and shared valuable advice for my long-term well-being, while therapies were carried out with great dedication. Special thanks to Dr Vinod, Dr Hima, Girish, Ganesh, Abhijit, and Lalu. Food was simple, nutritious, and very thoughtfully prepared, supporting the treatment process. Deeply grateful to everyone here!

Dear Vaidyagrama team, I have been taking the treatment from you last 10 years, and I know that it has been the life's mission of my main doctor, Dr Ramanandan, to help people for humanity, by treating their illnesses with Ayurveda. He has been dedicating his bigger part of his life to fulfil this commitment. Many times, I have appreciated his expertise and readiness to help me in my long-lasting battle with my chronic disease. Thank you. Thank you, my main consulting doctor, Dr Harikumar. Thank yo,u Aparna ji. Thank you Dr Perumal, Dr Megha, Dr Mojin, Dr Renjisha. Thank you, Ratheesh, Santosh, Libin, Aneesh, Bindu, Binil, Albi, Abhijit, Lalu Prasad... and all others who have been taking care of me this time. Vaidyagrama is a piece of higher human culture in the present uncivilised world, with great appreciation. Kindly Chant: HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE… YOUR LIFE WILL BE SUBLIME AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY!

We took treatment for our 6-year-old daughter, Poorna, for a short period of 5 days. Our chief Physician, Dr Ramadas, initially made efforts to connect with her & establish a good rapport with her, which helped a lot to make her cooperate with the treatment here and lessen her anxiety. He gave us so much confidence and reassurance, and more importantly, guided us through the therapy and how to take it forward beyond the treatment and stay here. The other doctors, Dr Mojin and Dr Renjisha, made sure she was comfortable and was able to follow the treatment & diet prescribed here. The way they kept monitoring our progress and suggestions made me feel so much supported. Though my daughter was very anxious, reluctant, restless, and a bit uncooperative to begin the treatment here, the warm and friendly therapists befriended her to make her open up and feel more at home and rested. The rich and abundant Nature, along with a calm, sattvic diet and serene ambience, nourished her a lot.
As we leave this healing space today, I can see her much calmer, cheerful, and open, seems to be more listening and grounded. Deep gratitude to all, the beautiful souls and bright spirits, for coming together to create such an enriching and healing space in harmony with Nature. May this beautiful community thrive and expand, reaching and impacting more lives and families.
Lots of love & prayers,

Namaskaram to the entire Vaidyagrama team!
Thank you again for such a long, peaceful, nurturing space to receive the deep art of Panchakarma. Here we can feel the fortress with Nature to design the "perfect healing environment", the reminder of peace as part of the great family of Nature. The protection you offer, along with the reminder of our own Nature, helps us to restore the feeling of wholeness, realisation of great good fortune, and responsibility to have a miraculous body to take care of.
Thank you, Dr Ramadas, for your constant love and example of divine respect for the body, your joyful presence, laughter, and your sweet caring. Thank you, Dr Renjisha, for our long conversations, where you would patiently answer all my many questions, and I am grateful for your care and loving attention. Thank you to my loving therapist, Manju, for your gentle touch, careful explanations, and your calm & consistent presence. To Bindu and Bala, too, for your kindness and care. Also, thank you to Dr Mojin for your tongue analysis conversations. Thank you also to Darshana and Kesiya for your attention and support throughout the days. Such a beautiful team of caregivers sharing one focus. I am also grateful to the staff I never got to see - the amazing kitchen staff. I loved the food and the nourishing tea. By the gardeners who keep the green space so beautiful. Also, thank you to Mallika, who kept my space spotless and full of good energy. Your heart and smile cleared the room of any darkness! Thank you to the amazing Reception staff who keep the whole place connected, all day & night; the office staff who keep so efficient & busy, we never see you, but you too are keeping the order & blessings of Lakshmi holding the whole place in good space. Thank you to the priests Rajneesh and the other, who instil the heart of Vaidyagrama with constant devotion, honour, and light. It is truly a miraculous place to spend time, healing not only the body, but currently, maybe more importantly, the mind.
With great respect for all you do & great gratitude,

Dr Ramanandan, I am lost for words when it comes to the depth of knowledge, patience & dedication with which you planned my treatment & educated me along the way. So I understood the value of each step! I am going back a healthier, lighter & happier version of myself. Dr Sreya, you literally became my family away from home.

I must thank Dr Harikumar, Dr Rahul, Dr Anagha, and Dr Sreeji - They treated me with their fullest focus, took care of me, and kept asking me how I am doing every day.

The whole team was so kind and knowledgeable and really supported our time here. We want to sincerely thank the nurses and treatment team; they surely did everything possible to make us comfortable during treatments. We appreciate our housekeeping team for keeping our rooms clean and comfortable. We were impressed with our laundry team for being so efficient.
They even gave us a tour which included showing us the incredible natural space. Dr. Vinod has always been available to talk about any questions that we had in depth and to talk spiritually as it pertains to the topic at hand. We always loved bumping into Dr. Ramadas to talk spiritually as well. Overall our time spent at Vaidyagrama was a big success!

The therapists especially Bindu, Greeshma, Femila, Biju, Ratheesh and Binil (foot massage) did a great job.
The spiritual journey of puja, ‘Navratri’ Durga puja and others was an experience par excellence. God bless all at Vaidyagrama for helping people from all over the world.

But what truly makes Vaidyagrama unique is its staff — doctors, therapists, cooks, housekeeping staff and the entire team — whose kindness, availability and smiles brighten each day.
Thank you to each one of them for their attentiveness, dedication and humanity. I leave feeling calm, rejuvenated and deeply grateful to have been able to live this moment of life in this haven of peace.

It was my first Panchakarma experience and at an ayurvedic centre! I must say, what an experience! I came with no expectations and very little research. But I trusted in the process and VG did not only not disappoint me, but turned out to be the best decision I could have taken for myself. I am definitely going back lighter, healthier and happier.
But the most pleasantly surprising part was the spiritual practices and satsangs which were truly both informative and uplifting. The overall ethos and culture at Vaidyagrama is consistent in every single person of the team and trickles down to the patients. This truly brings calmness and serene energy to this already beautiful healing home. You are doing God’s work – Pls keep it up!!
Lastly but not least heartfelt thank you to Dr. Sajna, Dr. Arun, Dr. Rose, Dr. Sreya, Prema ji, Seema ji, Greeshma ji, the cleaning staff and all other doctors, therapists and staff who took the best care of me and made VG my home for 3 weeks. I am already feeling much better and confident that I will continue to do so even after leaving here. Already planning my next stay and can't wait to be back.
God bless you all…Lots of best wishes,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
I have been to many panchakarma treatments. This has been the one that not only provided relief to the pains that I came with, but also touched my soul. Even though I spent a short 7 days here, Dr. Ramadas & Dr. Mojin were quick to address the mental baggage that I am carrying all through this decade. Nowhere by the experience have I been told that the issues I am facing are due to the emotional state of my mind and thanks to you, I recognized this now and accepted it. I will try my best to have an outlook in my life that is positive and let go off the vices. And I really thank Dr. Ramadas for opening my eyes to realize this fact.
That said, the medicines and the treatment also helped my condition. Everywhere else doctors attempted to bring my sugar levels or provide me pain relief, but this is the first time I really felt very better. I came in here with much pain, not able to open the doorknob or open the water bottle. I am pleasantly surprised doing all these with ease today, and I am indebted to this place for this. The therapists are kind and really took care of my condition, adjusting the pressure and carefully moving my hands. Special shout out to Anita, Bala and Kesiya for the wonderful massages and thank you ladies for making such efforts to heal me. I haven't been able to hold my pen for years to write and here I am, totally surprised, writing away this feedback at ease. All thanks to Dr. Ramadas for his love and thanks for the opportunity to sing to the crowd & patiently listen too. :)
Leaving here only to return with much love and gratitude.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
My second visit and already I am looking forward to my next visit. I would love to thank each and every person in this wonderful “Happy” place on earth. This doesn’t feel like a place away from home. If home away from home or rather I’ll put it as if it's like coming to your mom’s place or your grandparents’ place for having fun and taking care of yourself!
My sincere thanks to the entire team - my wonderful doctors, my therapists, to all the housekeeping and people behind the scenes - you are all really great at what each one is doing. Keep up the good work you are all doing. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
GOD BLESS… With loads of love to each of you,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
My first visit to Vaidyagrama was amazing. I came here on a reference from Sreenivasan, who was kind enough to give me attending company throughout. Kudos to the doctors who are not just professional but empathetic friends, & ready to help anytime. I felt that I was in safe hands and the feeling was right.
The skilled organization has a mixed culture — contemporary and traditional. Everyone seems to be in love with what they are doing. Everyone is friendly and at the same time very systematic and assertive in maintaining work style. I made good friends through satsangs and other activities. The magic of culmination of spiritual activities and treatment together has been a kind of life- transforming. I feel rejuvenated, better and stronger than ever. I will continue to come here quite often and will refer to this place to all my circles.
May Lord DHANVANTARI & SHIVA, bless all!

Dear Vaidyagrama family, It’s my 3rd year back in a row to Vaidyagrama & each time it feels like a warm hug welcoming me back home! Thanks Dr. Ramanandan for your amazing assessment of my issues & in being so exact about the treatments that I finally had pretty-balanced doshas on leaving! Thank you for your insights, explanations, guidance & friendship. So enjoyed our conversations that left me so much richer in knowing myself & how ayurveda works for me!
The highlight of my trip this year was Dr. Rose! Her professionalism & efficiency & attention to details spoiled me completely & as trying as some treatments were for me her ever-smiling face & soothing voice made it all feel better! She has a very bright future & I wish her all the best! My stay here would not have been complete without the care of Dr. Arun, Dr. Kavya & Dr. Sreya and most importantly my therapists Shiny, Bindhu, Nimmi, Dhanya, Anumol, Greeshma, Shruthi & Ramya. Illam 4 was run beautifully under Dr. Rose — however a bit of constructive feedback shows that the younger generation of therapists require a little more training & supervision especially when doing a treatment solo with a patient. Also, the attention to detail in patient care was a bit careless at times, so the new batches coming in require a lot more hand holding & ambiguities the true essence of what Vaidyagrama stands for – Genuine care & no short-cuts.
Thank you to the kitchen staff and the laundry staff & the cleaning staff (Amar) for taking care of every need with such a big smile. Vaidyagrama has grown so much in capacity, beauty and greenery, it was a visual balm for the eyes & the soul. I bless all those whose efforts have gone into making it such a beautiful place to come back to! I will be back again next year & as Michael Jackson’s song says it so beautifully & Vaidyagrama does it so gracefully “Heal the World, Make it a better place, for you & for me & the entire human race”. THANK YOU AGAIN!!
Love & Blessings!

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
I express my gratitude to my family, then to Vijay Kumar and Bina Ajit Kumar who suggested ‘Vaidyagrama’, when I was looking for a good place for treatment due to my unique and peculiar health issues. After the Zoom meeting with Dr. Ramanandan, we knew that our choice was correct. Their motto ‘A home away from home’ was felt from the moment I entered, from day 1. Welcomed by the smiling, courteous staff and then the doctors. The whole place is so peaceful, full of greenery and vibrant with healing energies. My treatment was decided by Dr Ramanandan and then Dr. Sreya took charge. My health issues are identified, and appropriate treatment given.
I am very happy with the outcome. Special thanks to Dr. Sreya – she is competent, compassionate, understanding, loving and caring, and she puts you at ease in every situation. Mrs. Devaki, therapist trainer, her presence is so rooting. She is so calm. Thanks to Bindu, Prema, Greeshma and all the therapists who worked on my wellbeing. Also, the housekeeping. Big thanks to Dr. Arun, Dr. Kavya, Dr. Rose and all the doctors. Thanks to Aparna and Kavitha.
There is not a moment of boredom. Programs start from 6:15 am with prayers, then the satsangs, Wednesday community lunch and Cow pooja with prasadam. The place is run on well-oiled systems — precision and punctuality are the key word. Thank you Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar and their entire team for the wonderful service they are rendering. God bless them to go ahead in their Vision and Mission. Going home feeling better, lighter and desire to come back soon for 21 days. I will miss everything!!! God bless all and the healing village with success. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
My time at Vaidyagrama has been deeply restorative, both physically and mentally. My back had been giving me a lot of trouble, and my body was in need of rest and restoration — both of which Vaidyagrama provided with great care. I am very grateful to my doctors, Dr. Rose and Dr. Ramanandan, for their thoughtful guidance and gentle approach, and to my therapists Anu and Shiny, for their warmth and dedication throughout my treatment. Having been coming to Vaidyagrama since 2012, I continue to be amazed by the healing energy of this space. Each visit brings me back to balance and reminds one why Vaidyagrama holds a special place in my journey.
In gratitude and healing,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Our first visit to Vaidyagrama and we have felt very nurtured and respected. Not knowing what to expect on our arrival 21 days ago, we soon got into the rhythm of this beautiful village, with its treatments that we had never heard of or experienced before. The doctors and therapists that looked after us are wonderful, kind and considerate. Also, we must thank the other staff who keep this beautiful space clean and tidy. We are definitely feeling much healthier and more vibrant than when we arrived. We enjoyed morning prayers and other activities. We will definitely return in 2027.
Warmest wishes to all,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
One day my daughter — Sunday Lucia — mentioned she wanted to return (after 8 years) to Vaidyagrama and offer the experience to her clients. Having graduated as a practitioner many years ago, I jumped at the opportunity without a second thought. I didn’t really know what to expect but felt it might be the body reset I needed.
I am a 69-year-old male who lives relatively healthily — having a vegetarian diet for 26 years, plenty of exercise, and working on the ocean delivering boats. However I’ve worked the body hard, had many injuries and surgeries, and this year especially have noticed inflammation all through my body. So Mandy and I committed to join the group to immerse and fully experience the Ayurvedic way along with our daughter and our granddaughter, 9-year-old Aquila. Since birth, Aquila has been raised in an Ayurvedic lifestyle, so the food and practices were not new to her, and she fitted in very well.
I have enjoyed every moment here and have just let go and trusted in the doctors’ knowledge of these ancient traditions. I have benefited so much from the treatments. The psoriasis on my knees and elbows, which has been very noticeable for forty-five years, has almost gone. Joint aches and pains have significantly reduced. Dropped from 80 to75 kg and am feeling very well. I have found all the staff to be extremely kind, friendly, efficient and caring — very calming and nearly always with beautiful smiles.
For me, a huge bonus has been the spiritual experience. Never previously indulged to this level, again, I immersed myself in it and loved and benefited from it. Daily looking forward to the morning and evening prayers, yoga nidra, and the talks given by the doctors. I loved the food and was very happy to receive the benefit of the clean, simple diet — community lunch, a weekly bonus. With all my heart — thank you to all the Vaidyagrama team. Negatives — NONE.

Dear Vaidyas Harikrishnan, Sajna, Prameela, Vineesh and others, also therapists Sandhya, Addaiva, Athira, Lakshmi, Rahitha and others, helper Ashika, plus all the other staff (housekeeping, laundry, admin). It feels important to thank all of you as well as all the beings and energies that come together to support health and well-being on this beautiful earth. For my own body and being, there is a deeply restored sense of faith, hope, trust, resilience and calmness that I can now go forward with a strong support for continuing to feel better and better. My goal is to regain 100% full health and vigour so that I can better serve life around me, and to feel each moment filled with a sense of the sacred.
Thank you from every part of me.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
My heart feels full. This was truly a humbling and remarkably beautiful experience — mind, body and soul. I felt the underlying intention of healing from all the staff and participants uniting to allow for a profound experience. I want to say a massive thanks to the therapists in Cluster 3 — Illam 9 — Sandhya, Addaiva, Vincy, Ashika, Addaiva and others. Their warm smiles, gentle touch and beautiful manner made each treatment something to look forward to. I will truly miss them and am so lucky to have had them work their magic on me. Dr. Prameela and Dr. Aruna have been so supportive and caring along this journey and made me feel safe, supported and heard. Can’t wait to see you all again soon.
Peace, love and light,

Thank you Vaidyagrama, for a healthy, healing and enlightening three weeks. The room was clean, comfortable and peaceful; the food was nourishing and delicious; and last but not least, the staff were all incredible. The kindness, care and consideration have been genuine and unfailing. The treatment staff are warm, genuine and dedicated to their work. I would make special mention of Sandhya and Vincy, who treated me so well. The doctors have been informative and professional. It has been a wonderful experience. I feel renewed and look forward to implementing newfound practices once home.

Vaidyagrama is a place like no other. My first 21-day visit here has been truly life-changing, physically, mentally and spiritually. With all my heart, thank you to the receptionists and admin staff that run this place like a clock; the carers of all the sacred places that allow us to start and end each day in prayer; the landscapers that make the gardens a magical place to walk through; the kitchen staff and cooks whose fresh and tasty meals nourish our bodies; the housekeepers who always ensure our rooms are clean and clothes promptly laundered; the therapists who have hearts of gold, magical hands, and show boundless care for patients; and to the DOCTORS, whose knowledge and professionalism are first class, yet whose manner is humble while concern for the patients’ care and well-being are present in everything they do. To all of you, may you be blessed with good health, inner peace and joyful spirit.
With much gratitude,

The doctors are extremely patient and insightful, guiding me with both wisdom & compassion. The therapists are also extremely skilled and dedicated, making every treatment a source of healing & comfort. The organisation of the supporting departments like admin, housekeeping, kitchen etc. was impressive and made my stay all the more comfortable. I’m deeply grateful to the entire team for creating such an environment that allowed me to truly heal. I am feeling lighter, calmer and deeply thankful for the warmth and care I’ve received throughout my stay.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
We are grateful to be here at Vaidyagrama – a place like no other and it’s my wish to see more places like this which heals people on many levels, not only physically. The environment that you have created, things that are being used (eco-friendly), the way every day is structured well shows your commitment towards NATURE & people. We feel this is the best vacation we had till date. With everything being taken care of, we spent our time with ourselves, with Nature and healing. A big thank you to the whole team for patient Doctors, caring therapists, healthy & yummy food, housekeeping and to all the smiling faces. We had the best satsangs here & we are going back with a lot of important information on healing & spiritual elevation.
VAIDYAGRAMA will be our second home.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Dear everyone here, including the amazing peacocks— What I felt the most here, what I felt flowing behind and through everything, was a foundation of consistent love and light, as well as genuine individual love from everyone and every creature—including the peacock who allowed me to take a walk with him. I actually felt it in every stroke of the treatment as my body became alive again — There was such abundant, unconditional human love that did not demand perfection, but built steadily on willingness.
The staff on every level was amazing! One of the paths I practice is the path of the Rose, so imagine being greeted and treated by Dr. Rose! Dr Vinod, so generous in the planning of his treatment. Dr. Akshaya I met one day and then she was in an all-day training course, yet inquiring about me; and Dr. Sreya always checking in at night. Then the treatment women were so kind, the energy they put out & they held in theirs. Amar who took such care in cleaning my room. And the laundry people too. Then the team in the office Athira, Aparna, the reception—so on & on. I will carry this attitude with me, in times of darkness too. I believe it will serve others. That’s the thing about Vaidyagrama - It’s a candle in this current world of chaos whose light goes far. Demonstrate to us, how to truly make a difference not by fighting the darkness, but by turning on the light inside ourselves- thank you!

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama, and it has been even more pleasant than the first. My mother and I come here not only for the amazing and authentic treatments, but also for the ability to bond and reflect as time stands still. The doctors and therapists make us feel like family. The personal connections we have made over the years add to our excitement to visit again. Dr. Rose and her charming smile and personality added to the experience. Her patience to hear our every complaint on health and listen to our aches and pains each morning. Dr Sreya and Dr Arun with their care and concern kept stepping in to ensure we were seamlessly attended. The therapists Shiny, Anu, Dhanya, Seema, Prema, Bindu, Nimmi, Greeshma are all so loving and caring in every stroke of their treatments. It is obvious each one puts their heart into making sure the patient is always comfortable and feels better. Finally, the main reason for us coming here will always be the attentive, dedicated, friendly yet firm Dr Ramanandan. He is a super star. This was a special visit as it included my birthday and Diwali. I thank everyone at VG for making it so special.
Best wishes and love,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Thank you very much again for having me here for treatment. It was my second time; two years ago, I came for the first time after dealing with Long Covid for two years, by recommendation of Dr. Alakananda Puri from Santosh Puri Ashram. Since then, step by step, I am improving. After six months, I went to a Congress about Long Covid and was the patient telling her story about POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), and how beloved doctors came back to their university, telling their colleagues there was a paediatrician who went flying business class to India to some Ayurvedic clinic and since then has really improved.
I wish more patients would be able to follow your treatments. This time I was already much stronger. Yes, I was tired the first week but not exhausted, no shortness of breath, no severe muscle weakness. I had a treatment for vomiting one of the first days. Tears of vomiting were harder than when I really had to vomit. Although I had fully lost count of the number of glasses of herbal mix I drank, it was a big relief to get my stomach empty again! And my body was still surprised about the reset it gave, especially to my lower back. The Vastis I knew — some were easy, some were harder, but that’s the way it goes. I loved the powder massages. And now I have even recovered enough that I am allowed to have the oil massages. Thank you so much, all therapists, who healed me with your loving touch. Thank you everybody, seen and behind the scenes, who helped me to receive all the treatments. You all helped me believe I will recover. I feel blessed to receive all your blessings — in all ways, treating body, mind and spirit. Last week I happened to be here for the celebration of the Navagrahas/ nine planets. It is very special to be able to receive so many blessings at the pujas (and sweets). Especially for the special blessing, with my little work in the past. And apparently, not only pediatricians help their patients to get dressed — thanks a lot for the beautiful sari. Dr. Harikrishnan, thanks again for your treatment. Dr. Sajna, thanks a lot for helping me with my mind-body challenges. Dr. Aruna, thanks a lot for your spiritual guidance. Dr. Perumal, thank you for all your explanations. Take good care of yourselves and each other.
Warmest wishes, Namaste!

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
My sweet Lord Shri Krishna (I truly believe this and can see His hand in this) sent me here to heal; to relax; to do something for myself – just myself. The cows are here, right behind. The peacocks are here; the birds sing so sweetly reminding me of the beauty in simplicity. Tulsi forests are everywhere. Govind is looking at His cows. I became His priest (unofficial). Varaha dev + Bhumi – They are so enchanting. Never seen an idol of Lord Varaha — so lovely. The scenic, rustic, natural beauty. The sweet chatting of my therapists (I don’t understand a word) our giggles together (Suranya). They're telling me that they will miss me!! Everything is so lovely. Dr. Ardent was very calm, very professional & kind at all times. I could relate with him; he patiently explained the science behind all that was done. Every time – I felt he wanted me to heal, really… Dr. Ramadas was very sweet, approachable, patient & thorough. He left me thinking every time he came to see me; his way of thinking, his approach was different; very fresh. I could go on forever, but this place is very good; I have a lot of faith in it. I am on my journey to better health.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, I was looking for a Panchakarma place to get my health back on track and I am glad that I came to Vaidyagrama. It has been a wonderful experience. I have met some amazing people and made a lot of friends. I enjoyed going to all the satsangs and I am especially in awe of how the Navagraha pooja is conducted here. It has been not just a healing experience but a great spiritual experience for me. I am very thankful to my Doctor Ramadas for his expertise. He modified the treatment to get me back on track when things backtracked in the middle and got me worried. I will be leaving now feeling stronger than I came and with the hope to continue the healing process with the treatment plan he has provided me.
I would also like to thank Dr. Megha for all her support throughout the process. She is very attentive and patient and has been very caring. Also I would not have been able to come this far without the sincere and loving care of Karthika and Arunima. With their bright and inviting smiles before every treatment, they made me very comfortable and put me in a state of mind to get the best out of the treatments. I would also like to extend special thanks to Greeshma and Prema who took care of me the same way as last time. Last but not the least, I would like to also thank Maheswari Akka from housekeeping for taking care of my mom, the laundry folks, the admin staff for all their hard work to make everything comfortable for the patients so they can focus on healing.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
We were not aware about Vaidyagrama and its work. We were advised to visit this august place by Dr. Chandramouli Swami, on completion of my chemotherapy and radiotherapy on 14.10.25. We arrived at Vaidyagrama. After coming here, we feel that we are at home. I found significant change in my body particularly in my skin, after coming here. Initially it was difficult to accept non-spicy/non-salty ‘tasteless’ food, but now I understand that this food is good for my body. I will continue with the same.
Thank you for giving us an opportunity to participate in Navagraha Pooja. Thank you to all the doctors team particularly Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Vinod ji, Dr. Mojin and Dr. Megha for making us more comfortable at Vaidyagrama. This place is an excellent blend of holistic treatment of body, mind and spirituality. Thank you Vaidyagrama with love, light and power.

Vaidyagrama reinforced my belief that people make a place. The doctors, therapists, receptionists and all the secondary staff (including the gardening team) were always pleasant and kind. Dr. Ramanandan diagnosed my problems accurately, and the treatments worked.
I enjoyed the satsangs, community lunches, being close to nature, and getting tips on living a sustainable life. Thanks to each and everyone here, especially Dr. Ramkumar—for creating this grāma for the world to enjoy and lead a healthier life. Hope to be back next year.

Living in that part of the world puts you under continuous stress, without noticing how much it affects your health and well-being. Then at some point you have to get out. The Vaidyagrama was the answer. I don’t remember exactly, but it’s the 6th or 7th time. Here is a place for peace and health recovery. I am very happy to see the place growing and blooming. Congratulations for the effort in sustaining and improving the place. Every single person in this community is amazing. Thanks to each and everyone in this place for serving with love and dedication. I can’t mention names because each and every one is wonderful. Thank you again Vaidyagrama family. Love you all.

Thank you for all VG team/family, both seen + unseen to make Panchakarma possible for everyone. The doctors extend such care and wisdom making or contributing to the possibility of healing for the patient. Being held during Navagraha was particularly powerful. I especially love the natural setting + gardens.
However, there are a few needed improvements - it would be helpful to have a patient etiquette handout or email. I first came here in 2018, unfortunately, each year I came there are more people who stay on their porch until late hours with their noise causing disturbance, if not the TV- it is common to have people talking to each other or on the phone not realizing their voice travels + disturbs other guests. Additionally, dogs barking often + into the night + early hours is very disturbing to sleep + relaxation. Dr. Ramkumar speaks often about Sattva as a key to healing yet these loud doors + people on devices speaking on speaker phone seem far from sattva. If there was a patient etiquette handout you could educate patients how reducing devices, volume + late nights contributes to their healing as well as creating a more harmonious environment for all patients.
Lastly in the night + morning it was common to have many cockroaches + frogs in the bathroom.
I love VG – the impact you have on healing individuals, making Ayurveda accessible + contributing positively to the community is unparalleled. My wish is VG continues to be successful + impactful on the healing + wellbeing of all who seek care.

I want to thank the entire staff of Vaidyagrama, especially:
♥ Dr. Sreeji
♥ Dr. Hima ji
♥ Dr. Om Prakash ji
♥ And my two beautiful therapists ♥ Princy and Sindhu♥
This was a truly profound experience I have ever gone through in my life!
The level of attention, love and care I felt is immeasurable.
I only wish that Vaidyagrama never changes their standard of the quality. Quality should always be the priority over quantity etc.
Few minor suggestions:
Please add a toilet stool (per request) as toilet bowls are very high.
Please explain to everyone the importance of keeping the noise down after 8 p.m.
Fumigate rooms more thoroughly as mosquitoes are very aggressive here.
Everything else is perfect.
Thank you again!! Love ♥

My first words are of love and gratitude for Vaidyagrama. This is my second visit; I never thought I’ld be back this quickly at age 78 with an imbalanced Vata. It has been a blessing to continue on the path of Ayurveda. With the help of my practitioner Elizabeth in Mexico and Dr. Vinod and staff here, I hope to keep growing in the Ayurvedic direction. My deepest gratitude to the doctors and staff. You are all truly an inspiration. Namaste!

When one visits Vaidyagrama, one is healed – body, mind and atma.
When one visits Vaidyagrama, a community and an ideal way of living is embraced around you.
When one visits Vaidyagrama, one is filled with the power of positive sankalpa, there is no room for fear, insecurities or anger.
When one visits Vaidyagrama, one is taken care of like an anxious baby, one discovers the pleasures of the womb within its walls.
When one visits Vaidyagrama, one’s atma is awakened, the mind opens to infinite possibilities and solutions.

It has been a great experience being here. The kindness of the staff is amazing. Thank you to those who designed this project—your Vision truly supports health. Special thanks to Dr. Prameela and Dr. Vinod for their commitment and for making me feel at home.

It is our first visit — only for 11 days.
The place is indeed beautiful and aesthetic; most relaxing and stress-free. All the people working here are very kind, polite, and efficient. They are always ready to help us whenever needed. The programmes are well organised. We especially enjoyed the Satsangs. Maybe you could also add an evening walk for 30 minutes and a 45-minute yoga class (Asanas) as optional activities if people want them.
The food was good, but it was tough to get used to for the first few days. But it is part of the treatment, I guess! The treatment is very hygienic and beneficial. With regard to my personal health issues of nasal blockage, insomnia, and cervical/back problems, there was relief, especially in the first few days. But now I seem to be getting back to my dependence on allopathic medications like steroids, etc., which I would prefer to avoid. Maybe the stay needs to be longer for this objective to be achieved. But we go back with your medications, and I hope for our future well-being.
Wishing Vaidyagrama all the best in the years ahead.
Warm regards,

Thank you all so much for what has been a wonderful healing experience. Everyone at Vaidyagrama is exceptional! From my kind & clever doctors to the sweet & lovely therapists, the cooks & cleaners – plus everyone else you pass by or talk to. The level of professionalism & genuine care is very notable.
To have the opportunity to come & experience authentic Ayurveda in a centre that’s so peaceful, calm & intentional has been a gift. I can’t wait to come back – hopefully bringing some loved ones with me.
I’m leaving feeling calmer, balanced & committed to honouring my health. Thank you all so much for making me understand, appreciate & love Ayurveda even more!
See you all soon ♥ All my love.

I visited Vaidyagrama based on the recommendation of family and friends. This was my first Ayurvedic treatment; I didn’t know what to expect. But I was so amazed by the people here and the treatment.
Dr. Ramanandan not only has a deep insight and great experience in his field but also has a great sense of dedication to serve. Other than on his off days, not on a single day he failed to give time to listen and explain things clearly.
Dr. Megha was very caring and a lovely person. She was very good at following through and checking on the patients. She is a very dedicated professional and I wish her all the best for her future endeavours.
Dr. Mojin was a very kind and caring doctor. I had a very bad day one day with high fever; Dr. Mathew went out of the way to take care of me. He made me feel so comfortable, took care of me like a family member, followed up on me all night.
No place in the world have I seen such genuinely dedicated doctors. I wish them all the best. All the staff – Karthika and Arunima and Maheshwari – were wonderful, patient and dedicated.
The one thing that stood out the most for me was the even temperaments among every single person. There is so much peace in that calmness. Of course, the spirituality was a highlight. It felt like visiting my grandmother’s home in my childhood – which is no longer the same. The cows, the peacocks, the chants, prayers, I had a blissful time.

It was a great experience staying here. Everyone took care of me so well. Therapist Shiny was caring and empathetic—she is a gem! Thank you Dr. Perumal for patiently answering all my questions. Thanks to Dr. Sajna, Dr. Prameela, and the entire team. See you next year.
Thanks also to the receptionists and buggy drivers.

Words cannot express the gratitude I feel towards the whole staff of Vaidyagrama. From start to finish, in these 3 weeks I was welcomed and cared for in the most genuinely kind ways. A big thank you to Dr. Harikumar for his sweet and gentle bedside manner as well as the great knowledge imparted; also, to Dr. Hima ji and her accommodating presence and energy; my beloved therapists Sindhu and Princy for your consistently loving hands and hearts; the dear cleaners of the room, the warm laundry team and all of the many helpers who enriched my stay.
Also, thanks to the kind maintenance man who repaired even my suitcase wheel! Everyone on the staff greeted me in passing with an authentic smile which seemed to come straight from the soul!
I learned so much from the team of doctors here — from satsang and one-on-one time and I am so very thankful to take this and apply it into my beautiful life. The main takeaway is to BE HAPPY! To all those whose names I didn’t catch, deep bow of gratitude to you! I will miss you all as well as the beautiful night sound of nature and the scent of jasmine wafting through the air.
Pranams to Lord Dhanwantari and all the great ones. Om Namah Shivaya.
Until next time, all my love!

I am so grateful for the genuine loving care of all the doctors, therapists & other staff at Vaidyagrama. My stay here for 2 weeks felt purely divine especially because of the environment, prayers and complete vibe and energy of the place. I highly appreciate patient listening and continuous prompt responses from the doctors. I believe it’s not just the medicines & treatments, but the deep genuine care & loving support of all the staff here that aids the healing of all individuals.I thank all here & give my blessings for their health and happiness, and receive the blessings & healing of God Dhanwantari and all from here.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks to Sujatha, Dr. Hari Kumar and Dr. Ardent and the several other doctors, treatment experts like Girish and Ganesh, all the service staff including Suranya and Gayatri and everyone else at Vaidyagrama.
My 3 weeks’ experience was wonderful. I can already feel the benefits of the medicines and treatments on my general health and muscular flexibility. As I continue to take my medications after returning to the USA I hope to feel and experience even more improvements in health.
I had been warned about the food, but it was quite tasty (except too much kanji). Everyone (including cleaning staff, laundry etc.) had a great attitude and made it feel more like a wellness center than a hospital! Thanks, and beware I may be back in a year!

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
You all made me feel so very welcome and at home from the moment I stepped in. The atmosphere here – the peace and calm – has helped me to benefit from the treatment process. My special thanks to Dr. Ramanandan for his patient attention and guidance through the treatment, Dr. Megha and Dr. Mojin for their very able support in carrying out the treatment, Karthika and Darshana for their dedication in administering the treatment, and last but not least Maheshwari who took care of all the housekeeping details.
I hope to be able to carry forward this healing when I return home and shall remember fondly the time spent at Vaidyagrama.
With all good wishes,

There are places that become an instant home away from home. VG is one of those places.
A one-of-a-kind sacred space to heal body, mind, and soul; to reconnect with your spirit. Thank you to everyone at VG for helping me through this journey. Thank you for your kindness, care, compassion, joy, love and laughter. It has made my time here so special. Thank you, Anu, Shiny, and all the therapists for your incredible care and for taking such good care of me, inside and out. Thank you, Dr. Rose, for your radiant presence, guidance, and care. It has been such an honour to get to know you and to be supported by you. Dr. Sajna and Dr. Ramanandan — thank you for your brilliant guidance and support along my healing journey. Deep bows of gratitude to you all.

Thank you for a great experience. I am impressed by the team’s commitment to attending to every need. Healing requires an open heart, and the warm, safe environment here supports deep inner work. The medical staff inspired confidence, and the educational sessions were invaluable. This was my first visit, but I will be back.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank all the doctors, therapists, and the entire team at Vaidyagrama for your care, kindness and personal approach. Every single day, I felt that you were looking after us with the same love and attention as if we were members of your own family. I was deeply touched by your individual care for each of us, by your patience in listening, and by the wisdom with which you guide both body and mind back to balance and health.
I truly felt as if I were in another world – a world that gently supports and nurtures the healing journey. I am leaving with a much clearer understanding of how to take care of myself, how to listen to my body, and how to stay connected with my inner self even after returning home. Thank you from my heart for all that you do, with such dedication, humility and love!

Wow, what an experience! The beauty of the buildings & surroundings have their own healing power for me. The doctors, therapists, all the staff really cared for me & I am so grateful. Mostly for me I really appreciate the opportunity to slow down, go within. Thank you for the spiritual nurturing as well as the physical & emotional care. And I had fun. Even though I didn't think I would.

Where to start, there have been so many amazing aspects from the Vaidya concept through to the service delivered. All are aligned with healing, authenticity and sustainability. I've had an amazing time, learnt so much about myself - physically, emotionally and spiritually. The whole experience has been incredible! Though the absolute highlight has been the people who work here from the doctors through to the therapists, cleaning staff and gardeners. Everyone has been so joyful, beautiful and accepting. This was my first panchakarma and I didn't know what to expect. There have been ups and downs, though the roller coaster ride has been made bearable and even enjoyable under the care of Dr. Vinod and Dr. Anagha. They have been there to cheer me on and hold my hand through the process. They were assisted by the other doctors and the therapists.
To the whole Vaidyagrama community, thank you. I have been blessed by your care, support and generosity. You are beautiful. This was my first panchakarma. I trust it will not be my last, Thank you for the amazing experience, education and fun!
Much love and big hugs!

A chance discussion with my ophthalmologist Dr. Prithie Rekhi regarding my Peripheral Neuropathy made me land up in Vaidyagrama. So I spoke to Dr. Ramanandan who suggested that it would be beneficial for me to get the treatment here because the doctors here take a holistic approach to the treatment. On my arrival Dr. Rahul brought me to my room, through a pathway bordered with so much greenery that I instantly felt that I had come to the right place – that is braving the snake we encountered!
A detailed questionnaire regarding my health concerns was filled in by him. Dr. Ramanandan drew up my treatment plan, and he made sure that he visited me every day to see my progress. The process of healing started the next day. Unfortunately, the first day was spent throwing up! Dr. Anagha, Dr. Rahul, and Dr. Omprakash all rallied together to see how to help me. The men folk even manually pushed my cot close to the phone so that I could reach the telephone at night to call for help. My treatment continued with all the staff attending me, making it a calm and peaceful experience! The kindness, empathy and the smiling faces of all the staff members and they being very attentive to my needs was a bonus; whether it was my treatment, my medication or my food, there was always a smiling face.The only problem I had initially was the food!
I attended the morning prayer without fail and came away learning to be more peaceful + happy. I could also attend a few sessions of Manojayam. I was literally astounded by the knowledge of all the speakers. My thought was "What a wealth of knowledge everyone had!" The Sarpa Bali pooja experience was so spiritual. Glad and grateful that I took part in it.I am going back home completely refreshed and rejuvenated but also eager to have my home food. Hope to be back next year for another experience. A very big heartfelt thank you to all of you and your staff.

Dear Vaidyagrama Team! What a blessing to have been in your care! I felt safe, held & encouraged the whole 12 days. Thank you for sharing all your wisdom & ways with our group. The food is delicious. The rooms are so clean & comfy - the treatments are heavenly. The consultations were insightful. The morning prayers & pujas are holy! While I could not explore the land, I appreciated the closeness I found as I walked under cover. You have built/shaped something that truly helped me turn & stay INWARD, to tend & to learn about the sacred vessel that is my body. Thank you for helping me come home to myself. I am cheering on all your efforts & will hope to return someday. Ever ever grateful.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family, this is a very special place. Everyone who works here – and I mean EVERYONE – is kind, warm-hearted, dedicated and professional. Every person you pass walking responds with a warm smile and a hand to the heart. This is a place of God, love, humanity and healing that I feel blessed to have visited. Though I have spent considerable time in India, I knew little about Ayurveda, and I have learned a lot, and gained a lot of respect in my short time here. Ayurveda is an amazing discipline, and it has changed my life for the better. Thank you. My only feedback is that it would be nice if Cluster 5 could be a bit quieter. I know the construction next door is temporary, but a lot of noise from the treatment area enters my room. So, it would be nice, especially on days of silence, if the building could please be quieter.
With respect and gratitude,

Thank You!! Dear Vaidyagrama Doctors, Staff and Community – much Love & Appreciation. These 10 days with Dr Blossom’s group have been educational, a reset, and an exploration. I appreciate all the aspects present here, from food and medicines to prayer and puja, to rest. The staff have been wonderful as attendants. I have felt very well cared for.
The only feedback I could give is perhaps more of an initial orientation to the process of panchakarma care. While I did not need every specific detail of the process, it would have been helpful to hear at the beginning some more about how things work. For example, the rotation of doctors every day. I was not clear if I had one doctor or many, and how the care was being collectively managed. That information would set my mind more at ease. Thank you!

My review of my time at VG: Therapists & doctors were very attentive and competent in their roles. The additional talks, tours and classes were very helpful and provided a better understanding of the role of Ayurveda in our lives. Being here during the Navagraha pooja was a very special experience. The only negative feedback to give you is in relation to the daily noise from the construction works, which were very close to my room. Informing patients before arrival of the noise pollution would have been appreciated, as I expected 'calm and serene' as per your promotion, etc.
Highlights: Wednesday community lunch, relationships developed with Dr. Anagha & therapists coming as a group and meeting new people around the dining table, mandalas at the pujas, morning meditations. Thank you so much! I hope that I can return.

Vaidyagrama! What an incredibly rare and special place in the world of healing and medicine! I have felt such care and kindness, and joy over these past 10 days, from the gentle & attentive treatments at the hands of such loving attendants, the delicious meals clearly made with love, the brilliant minds who are guiding each carefully laid, planned and the spiritual devotion that is the anchor. I feel such gratitude for everyone—that keeps this place running—each Illam so thoughtfully laid out and beautiful. I offer my deepest respect for what you all are sharing, and how you are sharing it. One can't help but feel whole.
Thank you! I hope to be back.

Greeshma, Nimmi, Seema, Bindu, Shyni — During the treatment period, all of you took such good care of me. I sincerely thank the entire Vaidyagrama team for that. From the day I arrived here, I have received so much love and care that my mind has become peaceful and relaxed. Within just 12 days, I have experienced a noticeable improvement in my health. They handle every patient’s needs with such care and affection.
The meditation (mind) sessions made me realise how much unnecessary stress I was carrying within myself. It helped me understand the importance of calming and clearing the mind. Learning about agni, dosha, and food practices has been very useful. From now on, I will definitely apply these teachings in my life. Thank you, Vaidyagrama family.

What an amazing healing community you have provided all your guests with. I was quite nervous coming here and unsure of what to expect. I have been looked after so much more thoroughly than I thought possible.
Dr. Harikumar was fantastic to work with — he seemed to know me far better than I know myself, and I am leaving here feeling so empowered moving forward with all the knowledge shared with me. Dr. Hima ji has been such a wonderful presence here, too. I have so looked forward to seeing her daily. She explains everything so beautifully, and I know she has our best interests at heart. Another big thanks to my therapists who work so hard at making our treatments & our stay here as comfortable as possible. They really are total angels!! ♥️
Just went for the final tour and I am blown away by just how much is done here — absolutely amazing! Thank you to all the cleaning staff for keeping my room fresh. You are so kind! As well as the kitchen staff for nourishing me. And all the other doctors sharing their knowledge & prayers… Until next time ♥

I am grateful for every staff member, from the therapists to the cleaners, who really work from their hearts and take care of you with love. I will definitely be coming back and spreading the word for you guys. I will truly cherish my memories here.

THANK YOU… It’s time to leave, and I’m really happy to go home and apply all my new wisdom and a detoxified body in my real life. Even though I still have healing to do, I feel lighter, less contracted in body and mind, more trusting, and with a happier spirit. Thank you for showing me a new perspective on how working in health care can be. I bring a lot of inspirational lessons to my hospital. (But maybe not the kanji — I don’t think any of the children in Sweden would eat that; they prefer pancakes!)
Thanks to Dr. Rose for being very attentive to my needs, and Dr. Ramanandan for always answering all my questions and seeing the shift in me. Thanks to all the therapists, cleaners, kitchen staff, gardeners, and priests — your spirits really shine through. All respect and love for what you offer us here.

Well, well, well — no words can express the phenomenon called Vaidyagrama. It's been wonderful spending three weeks here in the process of healing. From day one to day 22… I feel like a different person altogether — healing and full of energy. Thanks to the staff — the Vaidyas, the therapists, the admin, the support staff. Ilam 12 is like a home which revolves around Dr. Hima. Therapists Sindhu chechi, Princy, Gayatri, Abhijith & Krishna ji — all these people make us feel at home. They take care of all our small and big needs. As the first ray of the sun hits the earth, Ilam is abuzz with activity. The love, care and comfort of our IILAM is out of the world and I want to thank all of Dr. Hima’s team for leading me on the path of healing. Last but not least, our dear Dr. Vinod, under whose care I am feeling much better. Thank you all.

Dear Ones, Thank you from my heart for the excellent care that you shared with Scott-ji (ours!) I feel awe at how you show so much compassion and acceptance for each person and how unique your care for each person was/is. I notice how you work so well as a team, and the team – family perhaps? – extends out beyond the building and into the gardens, the goshala, the kitchen, the laundry, the administrative offices, and the Punarnava Trust.
Knowing that this family contains many whose names I do not know, I thank you; you have made my time here sublime. I did learn about many cases… here, and those were the people that I saw every day. Prajisha – your strong hands, thank you! Your daily care was kindness embodied. Thank you, Aneesha – your sense of humour shines through a head nod and a knowing look! I appreciate you and the many glances that we exchanged, thank you! Kalpana– I felt so much wisdom in your presence and a strong, steady connection to the Earth. Thank you for holding that steaming, Unnimaya – I noticed your bubbly exuberance, and that brought joy to our interactions. I felt you kept the treatments on track with your treatment of the essential ingredients— thank you! Anita – your sparkly eyes were such a sweet spot in my day. I thank you! Nirmala – as a fellow 50-something year old, I felt kinship with your calm maturity & I appreciate you for that — thank you! Praveena – I felt your care in the early days of my treatment — your kindness + warmth were very uplifting. Subinlal – thank you for helping with our food everyday + I felt such a connection in your eyes twinkling sweetly when you looked at me. I know you're working as a team — whether it's bringing food, giving therapies, dropping off snacks or medicines; I am so appreciative of how smoothly + beautifully this team WORKS!
To the medical team: I am inspired by your knowledge in more than one language, helps + by your wisdom and insights. Dr. Anagha — I saw the least of you, but what touched me was the caring warmth of your smile, your happy-to-help demeanour + your willingness to assist whenever needed. Dr. Arsha, I am inspired by your professional demeanour, your equanimity + your insight. Dr. Sreeji, I felt your gentleness both in administering and treatment + in your gaze. I felt very seen by you. Dr. Rahul, I noticed your wisdom + maturity — I admit to being surprised in one so young — yet your sagely advice + insights into my mind as well as your clinical skill are very valuable to me. Dr. Om Prakash — I am so delighted in your cheerful demeanour, your insight into human nature, your profound yet simple skill in navigating human complexity, your ability to rescue frogs + a wealth of knowledge, whether it be butterflies or plants. Thank you all — I needed this time to rest + heal and I am returning to my everyday life rejuvenated + cleansed of layers of grief + anger, for that + all that you do, I appreciate you.
So much love + hugs + gratitude,

My dear Vaidyagrama, how to find the words to express my love for all that you are, all that you strive for, all that you have accomplished, and surely will accomplish, all that you offer so generously to those who will find you. My time is now short, so I cannot detail all those who have made my time here so deeply beautiful. My deepest wish is that they know who they are, who have made my stay a dream come true. I have no opinions about how VG could serve better. I leave with a heart full of all who have served me so well.
With love and well wishes for each one in the Vaidyagrama community.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, My experience at Vaidyagrama has been so enriching and restorative. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home because of the warmth, compassion and genuine care. What touched me most was the simplicity of the place – Nature, silence, sattvic food and a daily routine like morning and evening prayers and meditation – supported my healing process exceptionally well.
I came with shoulder and hand pain, and after 14 days of treatment, I am leaving home without that pain. I am grateful to the Vaidyagrama team. Special mention about Dr. Ramadas – a very knowledgeable person with dedication.
Dr. Renjisha is a very caring, sincere, and dedicated doctor. She took care of me very well. Therapists Karthika, Manju, Prema, and Darshana are all excellent and dedicated staff. Receptionists Sumathi and Deepthi, the face of the Vaidyagrama, were very friendly with always a smiling face. Buggy driver Sami Anna and others were prompt and caring. Shanthi, the person who delivers food, was very concerned and prompt in delivering food daily. Housekeeping, Priya and Mama were also very sincere and dedicated.
My prayers and wishes for good health to the entire Vaidyagrama family. My best wishes to Dr Ramkumar.

Breath of the eternal!
Being at Vaidyagrama’s first lesson is being present. It connects us to our higher consciousness, making us more aware, more sensitive, and more tolerant and touches upon our inner sense organs, so we are more able to freely express ourselves within a safe environment.
As the fire burns, as the sun shines, as the cloud rains, as the wind blows, as the moon lights up the darkness – Vaidyagrama shows us the path to a simpler, more refined way of caring for oneself and others.
Dr. Ramadas’s sincerity and simple sophistication give one the confidence one needs to fall back in love with one’s own soul and body, embracing its faults and enabling it to heal any damage that we have created. Dr. Megha is kind, gentle, and supportive. My therapists, Arunima and Karthik, have an innocence that can only be found in the East, so untouched by worldly affairs.
All therapists – Ramya, Darshana, Aditya Bala – I am unable to name all – are special in their own personal way, so caring and sensitive to one’s needs.
1st treatment: Kashaya Dhara, a pouring of medicated water to begin with. Abhyangam had the added consequence of the body releasing toxins.
2nd treatment: Navara Dhara, pouring of warm rice water, brought the sensation of being back in my mother’s womb.
The morning and evening prayers held by the doctors, the Vedic chanting, the Shiva pooja led by Rajnesh, who so meticulously dressed the sacred Shiva lingham, the beautiful small temple of Dhanwantari, have left one even more in awe of the immense culture. There is so much to learn from the spirit of India and so little time to savour it.
Om Shanthih Shanthih Shanthih.

Every time someone asks me about my experience here, my first response is that I don’t have adequate words. After I had been here only 1 day, I found myself thinking… “the world could be a better place” – I know because Vaidyagrama is a better place. But unless I can sense what goes into making this a better place, I don’t have a chance of expanding this “betterness” into parts of our world that are so lacking.
For me, it keeps coming back to intention. From what I can observe, there is such a clear intention to care… for each other, for our mother earth, for the bugs, the trees, the snails, the birds… There is so much wisdom that today, when I saw the furniture in the community centre that has been recycled from the panchakarma tables, I wept – relieved because, of course, that’s what they would do. Any other action would stray from the intention.
When I would struggle with doubts, with my foggy mind, Dr. Vinod and Dr. Renjisha could hold my struggle, allow it to be here and repeat whatever was needed to be here. The palpable caring from my skilful and loving therapists, the care for my living space, for the food I ate and the cleaning of myself – I am not sure I have ever experienced that level of care and integrity. The connection and care seeped into my tissues, muscles, my nervous system, my brain and heart – all of it. Such a kind experience that I know will continue to deepen. I look forward to what I will shed – and to finding my way back to Vaidyagrama.
A deep bow to the reason, wisdom, and caring intelligence that is Vaidyagrama. My prayer is that this experience can affect and inform how I show up in the world – to create clarity, grace, ease and love. So much gratitude and joy fill me.

Many thanks for the care, concern and excellent treatment. I feel a reduction in chronic inflammation and am overjoyed. The aesthetics and atmosphere contribute greatly. Special thanks to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Vineesh, Dr. Prameela, and therapists Lakshmi, Shobha, Adhaiva & Athira. A small suggestion: Therapy, bathroom, and housekeeping could be more regular and deeper.

To all at Vaidyagrama,
Firstly, many thanks for putting me on the path (once again) to health. Everything I wrote in Aug 2023 still stands, so I’m not repeating it all! I am most grateful for your dedication and knowledge and for upholding the best Ayurvedic traditions. And this year I enjoyed some of the food! I loved kanji!! Maybe it was all just that little bit familiar.
Now I’d like to make some suggestions if I may.
Could you please put up a sign asking people to speak softly on the phone, not put it on speaker and not to play the Hanuman chalisa at 4:30 am?
Your orange lights in the room drive me mad, especially without any shade to dim the glare. Couldn’t you possibly have both white and orange evenly distributed in the rooms, and we could choose what we’d like to switch on?
The mosquitoes, insects, ants, bugs etc make it so hard to sit outside, but if you want to use the net, you don’t have a choice. I’d just scuttle back into my room asap, which I think is a pity and just not on the net but also because you end up seeing so few people, let alone chatting with them.
I think it would be lovely if you played some Western classical music in the Illams. Schumann’s Scenes from Childhood or an Adagio from a Mozart piano concerto would fit in with the mood you’re trying to create. Ayurveda, especially the way you’ll practice it, embodies some of the best traditions of India. I think it would add to the experience if you brought in some of the best traditions from the wider world, too. There’s only so much one can hear of the one flute piece on repeat.
I appreciate the satsangs through which we may understand the principles of Ayurveda better. I’d love it if you’d add how to diagnose oneself (in an amateur way, obviously!) through nails, the tongue, the face, etc. The more correlations I can make, the more likely I am to stay on the straight and narrow. So, a little bit of self-diagnosis would help there.
Basically, don’t shut us further into this thinking: “I did all this and had a lovely time here” – I will be back though and for a couple of years, I hope :) The netted veranda, the weather, and the people made the purification process more likely and fun to stay on.
My sincere and profound thanks to my doctors Dr. Ramadas, Dr Renjisha and Dr Mojin as well as all the therapists who worked with such energy and cheerfulness on me. It is very rare to see everyone’s smiling faces and it inspires one to find oneself at the receiving end of all this support and kindness. My very best wishes to Vaidyagrama. May you continue to thrive! :)

So thankful to have been here in Vaidyagrama with all the wonderful doctors and therapists, the excellent food and lovely cleaning each day. Thank you so much Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Anupama, for all the beautiful and helpful talks from the heart. I feel calm and plain of beauty from the prayers and the Nature, the Satsangs, and the nice people that I met. Thanks, Arya, Athira and all the other therapists. What a paradise you have created. What a gift for the world. Thank you so much. All the best to you. Hope to see you soon again.

I thank the entire Vaidyagrama family for a very harmonious experience over the last 10 days. I thank the founders of Vaidyagrama for creating a holistic place of healing. Their deep knowledge and passion are manifested so well on campus. All aspects of the centre were a smooth experience, the travel arrangements, room allocation & design of the room, the consultation with utmost care and patience, the treatments with staff who are so well trained and dedicated. There was compassion and a desire to serve in everyone I interacted with.
And I felt very well taken care of by Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Ardent, and Dr. Alphonse. Thank you, Doctors, for your dedication & passion. And I learnt a lot from the talks every day at 5:30 pm.
Thank you and lots of love to all.

PS. On the last day Dr. Anupama visited. Her gentle, firm presence was very reassuring and calming.
Thank you and lots of love to all.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
All Doctors, Therapists, Housekeepers, cooks, grounds keepers, builders, protectors, and all else that keep this enlightened village alive, growing & expanding, EM MA HO, EM MA HO, EM MA HO. I'm so grateful to have my understanding of the Dharma & the path be so much clarified by the teachings expressed and lived by so many people there. I go home totally inspired and in love with this community and long to return before leaving. Gratitude does not express the fullness of my heart. Peace and gentleness, clarity and love are possible on this Earth for all. I go home & continue to practice with you all.

To my dearest VG has became like family since day one,
How to write feedback for a place that every time I would come up with a practical, efficient thought, had already thought of that, and more?
Thank you for creating a place where we can switch off the doing mind, and just be, even though thinking less is not so easy at all. I think I have touched every book in the library at least twice and read about 20 of them during my 4 weeks here.
I am so grateful for the eternal love, care and laughter I found here. In a place where all of one is allowed to be, you soon become a blissful pile of nothing. The elegance and grace with which you move amongst all patients, each other, staff, nature, the animals and all above and in between is beyond, and a true example of the sentence that sums up what I’ve learned here: BE HERE NOW.
Potential feedback: Reading bed lights and airholes in the library!
I obviously hope my health won’t need it, but I can’t wait to come back next year, spreading the word to all who are open to having their habits, minds and views on health changed in between.
Eternal gratitude to Dr Renjisha for always making me feel understood and cared for, your commitment and continuous insight as warm and bright as your laugh and determination; to Dr Om for always reassuring every thought, bringing me tears of laughter and holding an impeccable balance of wisdom, knowledge and joy. And thanks to Dr Mojin for making me cry and laugh to the therapists in Illam 3 and Manju, Arunima, Prema, Bala and Karthika – thank you for so much love. I will take the humbleness I feel while being into your hands wherever I go; to the sweet laundry team and all the precious ladies keeping the place that so quickly became my home, impeccable; to all the doctors for sharing their wisdom, experience, knowledge and humour; to Rajnesh for teaching me that orange is yellow and evening walks; to all my family members with greasy hair, smudged eyes and orange toe nails: I LOVE YOU!
See you soon.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Namaste to the whole team of Vaidyagrama! My eternal gratitude to Dr. Vinod and Dr. Sreya. You taught me so much during my stay in the Vaidyagrama community. Being here is a gift, living this moment of self-discovery uniting medicine and tradition — it’s incredible!
I am renewed and full of hope in my healing process. My sincere thanks to Bindu, Greeshma and Femila for the affection and care during my treatment. All the services provided by the members of Vaidyagrama are excellent. Clean rooms, healthy food and a welcoming environment.
My heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ramadas for the spiritual path we walked together.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Namaste, first of all our gratitude to Dr. Vinod & Dr. Sreya; you both taught us so much about our bodies. Being here was a gift. Vaidyagrama represents tradition, spirituality and healing. It’s an authentic Ayurveda community. Our treatments have given us a new perspective on life.
The whole team was so kind and knowledgeable and really supported our time here. We want to sincerely thank the nurses and treatment team; they surely did everything possible to make us comfortable during treatments. We appreciate our housekeeping team for keeping our rooms clean and comfortable. We were impressed with our laundry team for being so efficient.
They even gave us a tour which included showing us the incredible natural space. Dr. Vinod has always been available to talk about any questions that we had in depth and to talk spiritually as it pertains to the topic at hand. We always loved bumping into Dr. Ramadas to talk spiritually as well. Overall our time spent at Vaidyagrama was a big success!

This is our second visit to Vaidyagrama and we are going back happy, feeling better, and a lot more healthy. Thanks to the ever-smiling doctors, therapists and administrative staff. Special thanks to Dr. Om Prakash who has taken keen interest in solving our issues, and the team of Dr. Sreya, Dr. Rose, Dr. Kavya who took great care of us. The therapists especially Bindu, Greeshma, Femila, Biju, Ratheesh and Binil (foot massage) did a great job.
The spiritual journey of puja, ‘Navratri’ Durga puja and others was an experience par excellence. God bless all at Vaidyagrama for helping people from all over the world.
We wish them the best for the future.

My stay at Vaidyagrama will remain an unforgettable experience, deeply beneficial on every level. Everything here radiates kindness, serenity and the authenticity of the Ayurvedic tradition. The treatments are of exceptional quality, provided with great competence and constant care. The accommodation is simple, clean and harmonious, in perfect coherence with the spirit of the place. But what truly makes Vaidyagrama unique is its staff — doctors, therapists, cooks, housekeeping staff and the entire team — whose kindness, availability and smiles brighten each day.
Thank you to each one of them for their attentiveness, dedication and humanity. I leave feeling calm, rejuvenated and deeply grateful to have been able to live this moment of life in this haven of peace.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
It was my first Panchakarma experience and at an ayurvedic centre! I must say, what an experience! I came with no expectations and very little research. But I trusted in the process and VG did not only not disappoint me, but turned out to be the best decision I could have taken for myself. I am definitely going back lighter, healthier and happier.
But the most pleasantly surprising part was the spiritual practices and satsangs which were truly both informative and uplifting. The overall ethos and culture at Vaidyagrama is consistent in every single person of the team and trickles down to the patients. This truly brings calmness and serene energy to this already beautiful healing home. You are doing God’s work – Pls keep it up!!
Lastly but not least heartfelt thank you to Dr. Sajna, Dr. Arun, Dr. Rose, Dr. Sreya, Prema ji, Seema ji, Greeshma ji, the cleaning staff and all other doctors, therapists and staff who took the best care of me and made VG my home for 3 weeks. I am already feeling much better and confident that I will continue to do so even after leaving here. Already planning my next stay and can't wait to be back.
God bless you all…Lots of best wishes,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
I have been to many panchakarma treatments. This has been the one that not only provided relief to the pains that I came with, but also touched my soul. Even though I spent a short 7 days here, Dr. Ramadas & Dr. Mojin were quick to address the mental baggage that I am carrying all through this decade. Nowhere by the experience have I been told that the issues I am facing are due to the emotional state of my mind and thanks to you, I recognized this now and accepted it. I will try my best to have an outlook in my life that is positive and let go off the vices. And I really thank Dr. Ramadas for opening my eyes to realize this fact.
That said, the medicines and the treatment also helped my condition. Everywhere else doctors attempted to bring my sugar levels or provide me pain relief, but this is the first time I really felt very better. I came in here with much pain, not able to open the doorknob or open the water bottle. I am pleasantly surprised doing all these with ease today, and I am indebted to this place for this. The therapists are kind and really took care of my condition, adjusting the pressure and carefully moving my hands. Special shout out to Anita, Bala and Kesiya for the wonderful massages and thank you ladies for making such efforts to heal me. I haven't been able to hold my pen for years to write and here I am, totally surprised, writing away this feedback at ease. All thanks to Dr. Ramadas for his love and thanks for the opportunity to sing to the crowd & patiently listen too. :)
Leaving here only to return with much love and gratitude.

My second visit and already I am looking forward to my next visit. I would love to thank each and every person in this wonderful “Happy” place on earth. This doesn’t feel like a place away from home. If home away from home or rather I’ll put it as if it's like coming to your mom’s place or your grandparents’ place for having fun and taking care of yourself!
My sincere thanks to the entire team - my wonderful doctors, my therapists, to all the housekeeping and people behind the scenes - you are all really great at what each one is doing. Keep up the good work you are all doing. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
GOD BLESS… With loads of love to each of you,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
My first visit to Vaidyagrama was amazing. I came here on a reference from Sreenivasan, who was kind enough to give me attending company throughout. Kudos to the doctors who are not just professional but empathetic friends, & ready to help anytime. I felt that I was in safe hands and the feeling was right.
The skilled organization has a mixed culture — contemporary and traditional. Everyone seems to be in love with what they are doing. Everyone is friendly and at the same time very systematic and assertive in maintaining work style. I made good friends through satsangs and other activities. The magic of culmination of spiritual activities and treatment together has been a kind of life- transforming. I feel rejuvenated, better and stronger than ever. I will continue to come here quite often and will refer to this place to all my circles.
May Lord DHANVANTARI & SHIVA, bless all!

Dear Vaidyagrama family, It’s my 3rd year back in a row to Vaidyagrama & each time it feels like a warm hug welcoming me back home! Thanks Dr. Ramanandan for your amazing assessment of my issues & in being so exact about the treatments that I finally had pretty-balanced doshas on leaving! Thank you for your insights, explanations, guidance & friendship. So enjoyed our conversations that left me so much richer in knowing myself & how ayurveda works for me!
The highlight of my trip this year was Dr. Rose! Her professionalism & efficiency & attention to details spoiled me completely & as trying as some treatments were for me her ever-smiling face & soothing voice made it all feel better! She has a very bright future & I wish her all the best! My stay here would not have been complete without the care of Dr. Arun, Dr. Kavya & Dr. Sreya and most importantly my therapists Shiny, Bindhu, Nimmi, Dhanya, Anumol, Greeshma, Shruthi & Ramya. Illam 4 was run beautifully under Dr. Rose — however a bit of constructive feedback shows that the younger generation of therapists require a little more training & supervision especially when doing a treatment solo with a patient. Also, the attention to detail in patient care was a bit careless at times, so the new batches coming in require a lot more hand holding & ambiguities the true essence of what Vaidyagrama stands for – Genuine care & no short-cuts.
Thank you to the kitchen staff and the laundry staff & the cleaning staff (Amar) for taking care of every need with such a big smile. Vaidyagrama has grown so much in capacity, beauty and greenery, it was a visual balm for the eyes & the soul. I bless all those whose efforts have gone into making it such a beautiful place to come back to! I will be back again next year & as Michael Jackson’s song says it so beautifully & Vaidyagrama does it so gracefully “Heal the World, Make it a better place, for you & for me & the entire human race”. THANK YOU AGAIN!!
Love & Blessings!

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
I express my gratitude to my family, then to Vijay Kumar and Bina Ajit Kumar who suggested ‘Vaidyagrama’, when I was looking for a good place for treatment due to my unique and peculiar health issues. After the Zoom meeting with Dr. Ramanandan, we knew that our choice was correct. Their motto ‘A home away from home’ was felt from the moment I entered, from day 1. Welcomed by the smiling, courteous staff and then the doctors. The whole place is so peaceful, full of greenery and vibrant with healing energies. My treatment was decided by Dr Ramanandan and then Dr. Sreya took charge. My health issues are identified, and appropriate treatment given.
I am very happy with the outcome. Special thanks to Dr. Sreya – she is competent, compassionate, understanding, loving and caring, and she puts you at ease in every situation. Mrs. Devaki, therapist trainer, her presence is so rooting. She is so calm. Thanks to Bindu, Prema, Greeshma and all the therapists who worked on my wellbeing. Also, the housekeeping. Big thanks to Dr. Arun, Dr. Kavya, Dr. Rose and all the doctors. Thanks to Aparna and Kavitha.
There is not a moment of boredom. Programs start from 6:15 am with prayers, then the satsangs, Wednesday community lunch and Cow pooja with prasadam. The place is run on well-oiled systems — precision and punctuality are the key word. Thank you Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar and their entire team for the wonderful service they are rendering. God bless them to go ahead in their Vision and Mission. Going home feeling better, lighter and desire to come back soon for 21 days. I will miss everything!!! God bless all and the healing village with success. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
My time at Vaidyagrama has been deeply restorative, both physically and mentally. My back had been giving me a lot of trouble, and my body was in need of rest and restoration — both of which Vaidyagrama provided with great care. I am very grateful to my doctors, Dr. Rose and Dr. Ramanandan, for their thoughtful guidance and gentle approach, and to my therapists Anu and Shiny, for their warmth and dedication throughout my treatment. Having been coming to Vaidyagrama since 2012, I continue to be amazed by the healing energy of this space. Each visit brings me back to balance and reminds one why Vaidyagrama holds a special place in my journey.
In gratitude and healing,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Our first visit to Vaidyagrama and we have felt very nurtured and respected. Not knowing what to expect on our arrival 21 days ago, we soon got into the rhythm of this beautiful village, with its treatments that we had never heard of or experienced before. The doctors and therapists that looked after us are wonderful, kind and considerate. Also, we must thank the other staff who keep this beautiful space clean and tidy. We are definitely feeling much healthier and more vibrant than when we arrived. We enjoyed morning prayers and other activities. We will definitely return in 2027.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
One day my daughter — Sunday Lucia — mentioned she wanted to return (after 8 years) to Vaidyagrama and offer the experience to her clients. Having graduated as a practitioner many years ago, I jumped at the opportunity without a second thought. I didn’t really know what to expect but felt it might be the body reset I needed.
I am a 69-year-old male who lives relatively healthily — having a vegetarian diet for 26 years, plenty of exercise, and working on the ocean delivering boats. However I’ve worked the body hard, had many injuries and surgeries, and this year especially have noticed inflammation all through my body. So Mandy and I committed to join the group to immerse and fully experience the Ayurvedic way along with our daughter and our granddaughter, 9-year-old Aquila. Since birth, Aquila has been raised in an Ayurvedic lifestyle, so the food and practices were not new to her, and she fitted in very well.
I have enjoyed every moment here and have just let go and trusted in the doctors’ knowledge of these ancient traditions. I have benefited so much from the treatments. The psoriasis on my knees and elbows, which has been very noticeable for forty-five years, has almost gone. Joint aches and pains have significantly reduced. Dropped from 80 to75 kg and am feeling very well. I have found all the staff to be extremely kind, friendly, efficient and caring — very calming and nearly always with beautiful smiles.
For me, a huge bonus has been the spiritual experience. Never previously indulged to this level, again, I immersed myself in it and loved and benefited from it. Daily looking forward to the morning and evening prayers, yoga nidra, and the talks given by the doctors. I loved the food and was very happy to receive the benefit of the clean, simple diet — community lunch, a weekly bonus. With all my heart — thank you to all the Vaidyagrama team. Negatives — NONE.

It feels important to thank all of you as well as all the beings and energies that come together to support health and well-being on this beautiful earth. For my own body and being, there is a deeply restored sense of faith, hope, trust, resilience and calmness that I can now go forward with a strong support for continuing to feel better and better. My goal is to regain 100% full health and vigour so that I can better serve life around me, and to feel each moment filled with a sense of the sacred.

I felt the underlying intention of healing from all the staff and participants uniting to allow for a profound experience. I want to say a massive thanks to the therapists in Cluster 3 — Illam 9 — Sandhya, Addaiva, Vincy, Ashika, Addaiva and others. Their warm smiles, gentle touch and beautiful manner made each treatment something to look forward to. I will truly miss them and am so lucky to have had them work their magic on me. Dr. Prameela and Dr. Aruna have been so supportive and caring along this journey and made me feel safe, supported and heard. Can’t wait to see you all again soon.

To all of you, may you be blessed with good health, inner peace and joyful spirit.

We are grateful to be here at Vaidyagrama – a place like no other and it’s my wish to see more places like this which heals people on many levels, not only physically. The environment that you have created, things that are being used (eco-friendly), the way every day is structured well shows your commitment towards NATURE & people. We feel this is the best vacation we had till date. With everything being taken care of, we spent our time with ourselves, with Nature and healing. A big thank you to the whole team for patient Doctors, caring therapists, healthy & yummy food, housekeeping and to all the smiling faces. We had the best satsangs here & we are going back with a lot of important information on healing & spiritual elevation.
VAIDYAGRAMA will be our second home.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Dear everyone here, including the amazing peacocks— What I felt the most here, what I felt flowing behind and through everything, was a foundation of consistent love and light, as well as genuine individual love from everyone and every creature—including the peacock who allowed me to take a walk with him. I actually felt it in every stroke of the treatment as my body became alive again — There was such abundant, unconditional human love that did not demand perfection, but built steadily on willingness.
The staff on every level was amazing! One of the paths I practice is the path of the Rose, so imagine being greeted and treated by Dr. Rose! Dr Vinod, so generous in the planning of his treatment. Dr. Akshaya I met one day and then she was in an all-day training course, yet inquiring about me; and Dr. Sreya always checking in at night. Then the treatment women were so kind, the energy they put out & they held in theirs. Amar who took such care in cleaning my room. And the laundry people too. Then the team in the office Athira, Aparna, the reception—so on & on. I will carry this attitude with me, in times of darkness too. I believe it will serve others. That’s the thing about Vaidyagrama - It’s a candle in this current world of chaos whose light goes far. Demonstrate to us, how to truly make a difference not by fighting the darkness, but by turning on the light inside ourselves- thank you!

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
This is my second visit to Vaidyagrama, and it has been even more pleasant than the first. My mother and I come here not only for the amazing and authentic treatments, but also for the ability to bond and reflect as time stands still. The doctors and therapists make us feel like family. The personal connections we have made over the years add to our excitement to visit again. Dr. Rose and her charming smile and personality added to the experience. Her patience to hear our every complaint on health and listen to our aches and pains each morning. Dr Sreya and Dr Arun with their care and concern kept stepping in to ensure we were seamlessly attended. The therapists Shiny, Anu, Dhanya, Seema, Prema, Bindu, Nimmi, Greeshma are all so loving and caring in every stroke of their treatments. It is obvious each one puts their heart into making sure the patient is always comfortable and feels better. Finally, the main reason for us coming here will always be the attentive, dedicated, friendly yet firm Dr Ramanandan. He is a super star. This was a special visit as it included my birthday and Diwali. I thank everyone at VG for making it so special.
Best wishes and love,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
Thank you very much again for having me here for treatment. It was my second time; two years ago, I came for the first time after dealing with Long Covid for two years, by recommendation of Dr. Alakananda Puri from Santosh Puri Ashram. Since then, step by step, I am improving. After six months, I went to a Congress about Long Covid and was the patient telling her story about POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), and how beloved doctors came back to their university, telling their colleagues there was a paediatrician who went flying business class to India to some Ayurvedic clinic and since then has really improved.
I wish more patients would be able to follow your treatments. This time I was already much stronger. Yes, I was tired the first week but not exhausted, no shortness of breath, no severe muscle weakness. I had a treatment for vomiting one of the first days. Tears of vomiting were harder than when I really had to vomit. Although I had fully lost count of the number of glasses of herbal mix I drank, it was a big relief to get my stomach empty again! And my body was still surprised about the reset it gave, especially to my lower back. The Vastis I knew — some were easy, some were harder, but that’s the way it goes. I loved the powder massages. And now I have even recovered enough that I am allowed to have the oil massages. Thank you so much, all therapists, who healed me with your loving touch. Thank you everybody, seen and behind the scenes, who helped me to receive all the treatments. You all helped me believe I will recover. I feel blessed to receive all your blessings — in all ways, treating body, mind and spirit. Last week I happened to be here for the celebration of the Navagrahas/ nine planets. It is very special to be able to receive so many blessings at the pujas (and sweets). Especially for the special blessing, with my little work in the past. And apparently, not only pediatricians help their patients to get dressed — thanks a lot for the beautiful sari. Dr. Harikrishnan, thanks again for your treatment. Dr. Sajna, thanks a lot for helping me with my mind-body challenges. Dr. Aruna, thanks a lot for your spiritual guidance. Dr. Perumal, thank you for all your explanations. Take good care of yourselves and each other.
Warmest wishes, Namaste!

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
My sweet Lord Shri Krishna (I truly believe this and can see His hand in this) sent me here to heal; to relax; to do something for myself – just myself. The cows are here, right behind. The peacocks are here; the birds sing so sweetly reminding me of the beauty in simplicity. Tulsi forests are everywhere. Govind is looking at His cows. I became His priest (unofficial). Varaha dev + Bhumi – They are so enchanting. Never seen an idol of Lord Varaha — so lovely. The scenic, rustic, natural beauty. The sweet chatting of my therapists (I don’t understand a word) our giggles together (Suranya). They're telling me that they will miss me!! Everything is so lovely. Dr. Ardent was very calm, very professional & kind at all times. I could relate with him; he patiently explained the science behind all that was done. Every time – I felt he wanted me to heal, really… Dr. Ramadas was very sweet, approachable, patient & thorough. He left me thinking every time he came to see me; his way of thinking, his approach was different; very fresh. I could go on forever, but this place is very good; I have a lot of faith in it. I am on my journey to better health.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, I was looking for a Panchakarma place to get my health back on track and I am glad that I came to Vaidyagrama. It has been a wonderful experience. I have met some amazing people and made a lot of friends. I enjoyed going to all the satsangs and I am especially in awe of how the Navagraha pooja is conducted here. It has been not just a healing experience but a great spiritual experience for me. I am very thankful to my Doctor Ramadas for his expertise. He modified the treatment to get me back on track when things backtracked in the middle and got me worried. I will be leaving now feeling stronger than I came and with the hope to continue the healing process with the treatment plan he has provided me.
I would also like to thank Dr. Megha for all her support throughout the process. She is very attentive and patient and has been very caring. Also I would not have been able to come this far without the sincere and loving care of Karthika and Arunima. With their bright and inviting smiles before every treatment, they made me very comfortable and put me in a state of mind to get the best out of the treatments. I would also like to extend special thanks to Greeshma and Prema who took care of me the same way as last time. Last but not the least, I would like to also thank Maheswari Akka from housekeeping for taking care of my mom, the laundry folks, the admin staff for all their hard work to make everything comfortable for the patients so they can focus on healing.
With gratitude,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
We were not aware about Vaidyagrama and its work. We were advised to visit this august place by Dr. Chandramouli Swami, on completion of my chemotherapy and radiotherapy on 14.10.25. We arrived at Vaidyagrama. After coming here, we feel that we are at home. I found significant change in my body particularly in my skin, after coming here. Initially it was difficult to accept non-spicy/non-salty ‘tasteless’ food, but now I understand that this food is good for my body. I will continue with the same.
Thank you for giving us an opportunity to participate in Navagraha Pooja. Thank you to all the doctors team particularly Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Vinod ji, Dr. Mojin and Dr. Megha for making us more comfortable at Vaidyagrama. This place is an excellent blend of holistic treatment of body, mind and spirituality. Thank you Vaidyagrama with love, light and power.

Vaidyagrama reinforced my belief that people make a place. The doctors, therapists, receptionists and all the secondary staff (including the gardening team) were always pleasant and kind. Dr. Ramanandan diagnosed my problems accurately, and the treatments worked.
I enjoyed the satsangs, community lunches, being close to nature, and getting tips on living a sustainable life. Thanks to each and everyone here, especially Dr. Ramkumar—for creating this grāma for the world to enjoy and lead a healthier life. Hope to be back next year.

Living in that part of the world puts you under continuous stress, without noticing how much it affects your health and well-being. Then at some point you have to get out. The Vaidyagrama was the answer. I don’t remember exactly, but it’s the 6th or 7th time. Here is a place for peace and health recovery. I am very happy to see the place growing and blooming. Congratulations for the effort in sustaining and improving the place. Every single person in this community is amazing. Thanks to each and everyone in this place for serving with love and dedication. I can’t mention names because each and every one is wonderful. Thank you again Vaidyagrama family. Love you all.

Thank you for all VG team/family, both seen + unseen to make Panchakarma possible for everyone. The doctors extend such care and wisdom making or contributing to the possibility of healing for the patient. Being held during Navagraha was particularly powerful. I especially love the natural setting + gardens.
However, there are a few needed improvements - it would be helpful to have a patient etiquette handout or email. I first came here in 2018, unfortunately, each year I came there are more people who stay on their porch until late hours with their noise causing disturbance, if not the TV- it is common to have people talking to each other or on the phone not realizing their voice travels + disturbs other guests. Additionally, dogs barking often + into the night + early hours is very disturbing to sleep + relaxation. Dr. Ramkumar speaks often about Sattva as a key to healing yet these loud doors + people on devices speaking on speaker phone seem far from sattva. If there was a patient etiquette handout you could educate patients how reducing devices, volume + late nights contributes to their healing as well as creating a more harmonious environment for all patients.
Lastly in the night + morning it was common to have many cockroaches + frogs in the bathroom.
I love VG – the impact you have on healing individuals, making Ayurveda accessible + contributing positively to the community is unparalleled. My wish is VG continues to be successful + impactful on the healing + wellbeing of all who seek care.
Deep gratitude,

I want to thank the entire staff of Vaidyagrama, especially:
♥ Dr. Sreeji
♥ Dr. Hima ji
♥ Dr. Om Prakash ji
♥ And my two beautiful therapists ♥ Princy and Sindhu♥
This was a truly profound experience I have ever gone through in my life!
The level of attention, love and care I felt is immeasurable.
I only wish that Vaidyagrama never changes their standard of the quality. Quality should always be the priority over quantity etc.
Few minor suggestions:
Please add a toilet stool (per request) as toilet bowls are very high.
Please explain to everyone the importance of keeping the noise down after 8 p.m.
Fumigate rooms more thoroughly as mosquitoes are very aggressive here.
Everything else is perfect.
Thank you again!! Love ♥

My first words are of love and gratitude for Vaidyagrama. This is my second visit; I never thought I’ld be back this quickly at age 78 with an imbalanced Vata. It has been a blessing to continue on the path of Ayurveda. With the help of my practitioner Elizabeth in Mexico and Dr. Vinod and staff here, I hope to keep growing in the Ayurvedic direction. My deepest gratitude to the doctors and staff. You are all truly an inspiration. Namaste!

When one visits Vaidyagrama, one is healed – body, mind and atma.
When one visits Vaidyagrama, a community and an ideal way of living is embraced around you.
When one visits Vaidyagrama, one is filled with the power of positive sankalpa, there is no room for fear, insecurities or anger.
When one visits Vaidyagrama, one is taken care of like an anxious baby, one discovers the pleasures of the womb within its walls.
When one visits Vaidyagrama, one’s atma is awakened, the mind opens to infinite possibilities and solutions.
When one visits Vaidyagrama, one can talk to their doctors about every factor in their life & lifestyle; they listen and treat holistically.
Thank you, Doctors, for the wonderful care.

It is our first visit — only for 11 days.
The place is indeed beautiful and aesthetic; most relaxing and stress-free. All the people working here are very kind, polite, and efficient. They are always ready to help us whenever needed. The programmes are well organised. We especially enjoyed the Satsangs. Maybe you could also add an evening walk for 30 minutes and a 45-minute yoga class (Asanas) as optional activities if people want them.
The food was good, but it was tough to get used to for the first few days. But it is part of the treatment, I guess! The treatment is very hygienic and beneficial. With regard to my personal health issues of nasal blockage, insomnia, and cervical/back problems, there was relief, especially in the first few days. But now I seem to be getting back to my dependence on allopathic medications like steroids, etc., which I would prefer to avoid. Maybe the stay needs to be longer for this objective to be achieved. But we go back with your medications, and I hope for our future well-being.
Wishing Vaidyagrama all the best in the years ahead.
Warm regards,

Thank you all so much for what has been a wonderful healing experience. Everyone at Vaidyagrama is exceptional! From my kind & clever doctors to the sweet & lovely therapists, the cooks & cleaners – plus everyone else you pass by or talk to. The level of professionalism & genuine care is very notable.
To have the opportunity to come & experience authentic Ayurveda in a centre that’s so peaceful, calm & intentional has been a gift. I can’t wait to come back – hopefully bringing some loved ones with me.
I’m leaving feeling calmer, balanced & committed to honouring my health. Thank you all so much for making me understand, appreciate & love Ayurveda even more!
See you all soon ♥ All my love.

I visited Vaidyagrama based on the recommendation of family and friends. This was my first Ayurvedic treatment; I didn’t know what to expect. But I was so amazed by the people here and the treatment.
Dr. Ramanandan not only has a deep insight and great experience in his field but also has a great sense of dedication to serve. Other than on his off days, not on a single day he failed to give time to listen and explain things clearly.
Dr. Megha was very caring and a lovely person. She was very good at following through and checking on the patients. She is a very dedicated professional and I wish her all the best for her future endeavours.
Dr. Mojin was a very kind and caring doctor. I had a very bad day one day with high fever; Dr. Mathew went out of the way to take care of me. He made me feel so comfortable, took care of me like a family member, followed up on me all night.
No place in the world have I seen such genuinely dedicated doctors. I wish them all the best. All the staff – Karthika and Arunima and Maheshwari – were wonderful, patient and dedicated.
The one thing that stood out the most for me was the even temperaments among every single person. There is so much peace in that calmness. Of course, the spirituality was a highlight. It felt like visiting my grandmother’s home in my childhood – which is no longer the same. The cows, the peacocks, the chants, prayers, I had a blissful time.

Thanks also to the receptionists and buggy drivers.

Words cannot express the gratitude I feel towards the whole staff of Vaidyagrama. From start to finish, in these 3 weeks I was welcomed and cared for in the most genuinely kind ways. A big thank you to Dr. Harikumar for his sweet and gentle bedside manner as well as the great knowledge imparted; also, to Dr. Hima ji and her accommodating presence and energy; my beloved therapists Sindhu and Princy for your consistently loving hands and hearts; the dear cleaners of the room, the warm laundry team and all of the many helpers who enriched my stay.
Also, thanks to the kind maintenance man who repaired even my suitcase wheel! Everyone on the staff greeted me in passing with an authentic smile which seemed to come straight from the soul!
I learned so much from the team of doctors here — from satsang and one-on-one time and I am so very thankful to take this and apply it into my beautiful life. The main takeaway is to BE HAPPY! To all those whose names I didn’t catch, deep bow of gratitude to you! I will miss you all as well as the beautiful night sound of nature and the scent of jasmine wafting through the air.
Pranams to Lord Dhanwantari and all the great ones. Om Namah Shivaya.
Until next time, all my love!

Thanks to Sujatha, Dr. Hari Kumar and Dr. Ardent and the several other doctors, treatment experts like Girish and Ganesh, all the service staff including Suranya and Gayatri and everyone else at Vaidyagrama.
My 3 weeks’ experience was wonderful. I can already feel the benefits of the medicines and treatments on my general health and muscular flexibility. As I continue to take my medications after returning to the USA I hope to feel and experience even more improvements in health.
I had been warned about the food, but it was quite tasty (except too much kanji). Everyone (including cleaning staff, laundry etc.) had a great attitude and made it feel more like a wellness center than a hospital! Thanks, and beware I may be back in a year!

You all made me feel so very welcome and at home from the moment I stepped in. The atmosphere here – the peace and calm – has helped me to benefit from the treatment process. My special thanks to Dr. Ramanandan for his patient attention and guidance through the treatment, Dr. Megha and Dr. Mojin for their very able support in carrying out the treatment, Karthika and Darshana for their dedication in administering the treatment, and last but not least Maheshwari who took care of all the housekeeping details.
I hope to be able to carry forward this healing when I return home and shall remember fondly the time spent at Vaidyagrama.

Thank you, Anu, Shiny, and all the therapists for your incredible care and for taking such good care of me, inside and out. Thank you, Dr. Rose, for your radiant presence, guidance, and care. It has been such an honour to get to know you and to be supported by you. Dr. Sajna and Dr. Ramanandan — thank you for your brilliant guidance and support along my healing journey.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank all the doctors, therapists, and the entire team at Vaidyagrama for your care, kindness and personal approach. Every single day, I felt that you were looking after us with the same love and attention as if we were members of your own family. I was deeply touched by your individual care for each of us, by your patience in listening, and by the wisdom with which you guide both body and mind back to balance and health.
I truly felt as if I were in another world – a world that gently supports and nurtures the healing journey. I am leaving with a much clearer understanding of how to take care of myself, how to listen to my body, and how to stay connected with my inner self even after returning home. Thank you from my heart for all that you do, with such dedication, humility and love!

Where to start, there have been so many amazing aspects from the Vaidya concept through to the service delivered. All are aligned with healing, authenticity and sustainability. I've had an amazing time, learnt so much about myself - physically, emotionally and spiritually. The whole experience has been incredible! Though the absolute highlight has been the people who work here from the doctors through to the therapists, cleaning staff and gardeners. Everyone has been so joyful, beautiful and accepting. This was my first panchakarma and I didn't know what to expect. There have been ups and downs, though the roller coaster ride has been made bearable and even enjoyable under the care of Dr. Vinod and Dr. Anagha. They have been there to cheer me on and hold my hand through the process. They were assisted by the other doctors and the therapists.
To the whole Vaidyagrama community, thank you. I have been blessed by your care, support and generosity. You are beautiful. This was my first panchakarma. I trust it will not be my last, Thank you for the amazing experience, education and fun!
Much love and big hugs!

A chance discussion with my ophthalmologist Dr. Prithie Rekhi regarding my Peripheral Neuropathy made me land up in Vaidyagrama. So I spoke to Dr. Ramanandan who suggested that it would be beneficial for me to get the treatment here because the doctors here take a holistic approach to the treatment. On my arrival Dr. Rahul brought me to my room, through a pathway bordered with so much greenery that I instantly felt that I had come to the right place – that is braving the snake we encountered!
A detailed questionnaire regarding my health concerns was filled in by him. Dr. Ramanandan drew up my treatment plan, and he made sure that he visited me every day to see my progress. The process of healing started the next day. Unfortunately, the first day was spent throwing up! Dr. Anagha, Dr. Rahul, and Dr. Omprakash all rallied together to see how to help me. The men folk even manually pushed my cot close to the phone so that I could reach the telephone at night to call for help. My treatment continued with all the staff attending me, making it a calm and peaceful experience! The kindness, empathy and the smiling faces of all the staff members and they being very attentive to my needs was a bonus; whether it was my treatment, my medication or my food, there was always a smiling face.The only problem I had initially was the food!
I attended the morning prayer without fail and came away learning to be more peaceful + happy. I could also attend a few sessions of Manojayam. I was literally astounded by the knowledge of all the speakers. My thought was "What a wealth of knowledge everyone had!" The Sarpa Bali pooja experience was so spiritual. Glad and grateful that I took part in it.I am going back home completely refreshed and rejuvenated but also eager to have my home food. Hope to be back next year for another experience. A very big heartfelt thank you to all of you and your staff.

Dear Vaidyagrama Team! What a blessing to have been in your care! I felt safe, held & encouraged the whole 12 days. Thank you for sharing all your wisdom & ways with our group. The food is delicious. The rooms are so clean & comfy - the treatments are heavenly. The consultations were insightful. The morning prayers & pujas are holy! While I could not explore the land, I appreciated the closeness I found as I walked under cover. You have built/shaped something that truly helped me turn & stay INWARD, to tend & to learn about the sacred vessel that is my body. Thank you for helping me come home to myself. I am cheering on all your efforts & will hope to return someday. Ever ever grateful.

Dear Vaidyagrama Family, this is a very special place. Everyone who works here – and I mean EVERYONE – is kind, warm-hearted, dedicated and professional. Every person you pass walking responds with a warm smile and a hand to the heart. This is a place of God, love, humanity and healing that I feel blessed to have visited. Though I have spent considerable time in India, I knew little about Ayurveda, and I have learned a lot, and gained a lot of respect in my short time here. Ayurveda is an amazing discipline, and it has changed my life for the better. Thank you. My only feedback is that it would be nice if Cluster 5 could be a bit quieter. I know the construction next door is temporary, but a lot of noise from the treatment area enters my room. So, it would be nice, especially on days of silence, if the building could please be quieter.
With respect and gratitude,

Thank You!! Dear Vaidyagrama Doctors, Staff and Community – much Love & Appreciation. These 10 days with Dr Blossom’s group have been educational, a reset, and an exploration. I appreciate all the aspects present here, from food and medicines to prayer and puja, to rest. The staff have been wonderful as attendants. I have felt very well cared for.
The only feedback I could give is perhaps more of an initial orientation to the process of panchakarma care. While I did not need every specific detail of the process, it would have been helpful to hear at the beginning some more about how things work. For example, the rotation of doctors every day. I was not clear if I had one doctor or many, and how the care was being collectively managed. That information would set my mind more at ease. Thank you!

My review of my time at VG: Therapists & doctors were very attentive and competent in their roles. The additional talks, tours and classes were very helpful and provided a better understanding of the role of Ayurveda in our lives. Being here during the Navagraha pooja was a very special experience. The only negative feedback to give you is in relation to the daily noise from the construction works, which were very close to my room. Informing patients before arrival of the noise pollution would have been appreciated, as I expected 'calm and serene' as per your promotion, etc.
Highlights: Wednesday community lunch, relationships developed with Dr. Anagha & therapists coming as a group and meeting new people around the dining table, mandalas at the pujas, morning meditations. Thank you so much! I hope that I can return.

I have felt such care and kindness, and joy over these past 10 days, from the gentle & attentive treatments at the hands of such loving attendants, the delicious meals clearly made with love, the brilliant minds who are guiding each carefully laid, planned and the spiritual devotion that is the anchor. I feel such gratitude for everyone—that keeps this place running—each Illam so thoughtfully laid out and beautiful. I offer my deepest respect for what you all are sharing, and how you are sharing it. One can't help but feel whole.

Greeshma, Nimmi, Seema, Bindu, Shyni — During the treatment period, all of you took such good care of me. I sincerely thank the entire Vaidyagrama team for that. From the day I arrived here, I have received so much love and care that my mind has become peaceful and relaxed. Within just 12 days, I have experienced a noticeable improvement in my health. They handle every patient’s needs with such care and affection.
The meditation (mind) sessions made me realise how much unnecessary stress I was carrying within myself. It helped me understand the importance of calming and clearing the mind. Learning about agni, dosha, and food practices has been very useful. From now on, I will definitely apply these teachings in my life. Thank you, Vaidyagrama family.

What an amazing healing community you have provided all your guests with. I was quite nervous coming here and unsure of what to expect. I have been looked after so much more thoroughly than I thought possible.
Dr. Harikumar was fantastic to work with — he seemed to know me far better than I know myself, and I am leaving here feeling so empowered moving forward with all the knowledge shared with me. Dr. Hima ji has been such a wonderful presence here, too. I have so looked forward to seeing her daily. She explains everything so beautifully, and I know she has our best interests at heart. Another big thanks to my therapists who work so hard at making our treatments & our stay here as comfortable as possible. They really are total angels!! ♥️
Just went for the final tour and I am blown away by just how much is done here — absolutely amazing! Thank you to all the cleaning staff for keeping my room fresh. You are so kind! As well as the kitchen staff for nourishing me. And all the other doctors sharing their knowledge & prayers… Until next time ♥

THANK YOU… It’s time to leave, and I’m really happy to go home and apply all my new wisdom and a detoxified body in my real life. Even though I still have healing to do, I feel lighter, less contracted in body and mind, more trusting, and with a happier spirit. Thank you for showing me a new perspective on how working in health care can be. I bring a lot of inspirational lessons to my hospital. (But maybe not the kanji — I don’t think any of the children in Sweden would eat that; they prefer pancakes!)
Thanks to Dr. Rose for being very attentive to my needs, and Dr. Ramanandan for always answering all my questions and seeing the shift in me. Thanks to all the therapists, cleaners, kitchen staff, gardeners, and priests — your spirits really shine through. All respect and love for what you offer us here.

Well, well, well — no words can express the phenomenon called Vaidyagrama. It's been wonderful spending three weeks here in the process of healing. From day one to day 22… I feel like a different person altogether — healing and full of energy. Thanks to the staff — the Vaidyas, the therapists, the admin, the support staff. Ilam 12 is like a home which revolves around Dr. Hima. Therapists Sindhu chechi, Princy, Gayatri, Abhijith & Krishna ji — all these people make us feel at home. They take care of all our small and big needs. As the first ray of the sun hits the earth, Ilam is abuzz with activity. The love, care and comfort of our IILAM is out of the world and I want to thank all of Dr. Hima’s team for leading me on the path of healing. Last but not least, our dear Dr. Vinod, under whose care I am feeling much better. Thank you all.

Dear Ones, Thank you from my heart for the excellent care that you shared with Scott-ji (ours!) I feel awe at how you show so much compassion and acceptance for each person and how unique your care for each person was/is. I notice how you work so well as a team, and the team – family perhaps? – extends out beyond the building and into the gardens, the goshala, the kitchen, the laundry, the administrative offices, and the Punarnava Trust.
Knowing that this family contains many whose names I do not know, I thank you; you have made my time here sublime. I did learn about many cases… here, and those were the people that I saw every day. Prajisha – your strong hands, thank you! Your daily care was kindness embodied. Thank you, Aneesha – your sense of humour shines through a head nod and a knowing look! I appreciate you and the many glances that we exchanged, thank you! Kalpana– I felt so much wisdom in your presence and a strong, steady connection to the Earth. Thank you for holding that steaming, Unnimaya – I noticed your bubbly exuberance, and that brought joy to our interactions. I felt you kept the treatments on track with your treatment of the essential ingredients— thank you! Anita – your sparkly eyes were such a sweet spot in my day. I thank you! Nirmala – as a fellow 50-something year old, I felt kinship with your calm maturity & I appreciate you for that — thank you! Praveena – I felt your care in the early days of my treatment — your kindness + warmth were very uplifting. Subinlal – thank you for helping with our food everyday + I felt such a connection in your eyes twinkling sweetly when you looked at me. I know you're working as a team — whether it's bringing food, giving therapies, dropping off snacks or medicines; I am so appreciative of how smoothly + beautifully this team WORKS!
To the medical team: I am inspired by your knowledge in more than one language, helps + by your wisdom and insights. Dr. Anagha — I saw the least of you, but what touched me was the caring warmth of your smile, your happy-to-help demeanour + your willingness to assist whenever needed. Dr. Arsha, I am inspired by your professional demeanour, your equanimity + your insight. Dr. Sreeji, I felt your gentleness both in administering and treatment + in your gaze. I felt very seen by you. Dr. Rahul, I noticed your wisdom + maturity — I admit to being surprised in one so young — yet your sagely advice + insights into my mind as well as your clinical skill are very valuable to me. Dr. Om Prakash — I am so delighted in your cheerful demeanour, your insight into human nature, your profound yet simple skill in navigating human complexity, your ability to rescue frogs + a wealth of knowledge, whether it be butterflies or plants. Thank you all — I needed this time to rest + heal and I am returning to my everyday life rejuvenated + cleansed of layers of grief + anger, for that + all that you do, I appreciate you.
So much love + hugs + gratitude,

My dear Vaidyagrama, how to find the words to express my love for all that you are, all that you strive for, all that you have accomplished, and surely will accomplish, all that you offer so generously to those who will find you. My time is now short, so I cannot detail all those who have made my time here so deeply beautiful. My deepest wish is that they know who they are, who have made my stay a dream come true. I have no opinions about how VG could serve better. I leave with a heart full of all who have served me so well.
With love and well wishes for each one in the Vaidyagrama community.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, My experience at Vaidyagrama has been so enriching and restorative. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home because of the warmth, compassion and genuine care. What touched me most was the simplicity of the place – Nature, silence, sattvic food and a daily routine like morning and evening prayers and meditation – supported my healing process exceptionally well.
I came with shoulder and hand pain, and after 14 days of treatment, I am leaving home without that pain. I am grateful to the Vaidyagrama team. Special mention about Dr. Ramadas – a very knowledgeable person with dedication.
Dr. Renjisha is a very caring, sincere, and dedicated doctor. She took care of me very well. Therapists Karthika, Manju, Prema, and Darshana are all excellent and dedicated staff. Receptionists Sumathi and Deepthi, the face of the Vaidyagrama, were very friendly with always a smiling face. Buggy driver Sami Anna and others were prompt and caring. Shanthi, the person who delivers food, was very concerned and prompt in delivering food daily. Housekeeping, Priya and Mama were also very sincere and dedicated.
My prayers and wishes for good health to the entire Vaidyagrama family. My best wishes to Dr Ramkumar.

Breath of the eternal!
Being at Vaidyagrama’s first lesson is being present. It connects us to our higher consciousness, making us more aware, more sensitive, and more tolerant and touches upon our inner sense organs, so we are more able to freely express ourselves within a safe environment.
As the fire burns, as the sun shines, as the cloud rains, as the wind blows, as the moon lights up the darkness – Vaidyagrama shows us the path to a simpler, more refined way of caring for oneself and others.
Dr. Ramadas’s sincerity and simple sophistication give one the confidence one needs to fall back in love with one’s own soul and body, embracing its faults and enabling it to heal any damage that we have created. Dr. Megha is kind, gentle, and supportive. My therapists, Arunima and Karthik, have an innocence that can only be found in the East, so untouched by worldly affairs.
All therapists – Ramya, Darshana, Aditya Bala – I am unable to name all – are special in their own personal way, so caring and sensitive to one’s needs.
1st treatment: Kashaya Dhara, a pouring of medicated water to begin with. Abhyangam had the added consequence of the body releasing toxins.
2nd treatment: Navara Dhara, pouring of warm rice water, brought the sensation of being back in my mother’s womb.
The morning and evening prayers held by the doctors, the Vedic chanting, the Shiva pooja led by Rajnesh, who so meticulously dressed the sacred Shiva lingham, the beautiful small temple of Dhanwantari, have left one even more in awe of the immense culture. There is so much to learn from the spirit of India and so little time to savour it.
Om Shanthih Shanthih Shanthih.

Every time someone asks me about my experience here, my first response is that I don’t have adequate words. After I had been here only 1 day, I found myself thinking… “the world could be a better place” – I know because Vaidyagrama is a better place. But unless I can sense what goes into making this a better place, I don’t have a chance of expanding this “betterness” into parts of our world that are so lacking.
For me, it keeps coming back to intention. From what I can observe, there is such a clear intention to care… for each other, for our mother earth, for the bugs, the trees, the snails, the birds… There is so much wisdom that today, when I saw the furniture in the community centre that has been recycled from the panchakarma tables, I wept – relieved because, of course, that’s what they would do. Any other action would stray from the intention.
When I would struggle with doubts, with my foggy mind, Dr. Vinod and Dr. Renjisha could hold my struggle, allow it to be here and repeat whatever was needed to be here. The palpable caring from my skilful and loving therapists, the care for my living space, for the food I ate and the cleaning of myself – I am not sure I have ever experienced that level of care and integrity. The connection and care seeped into my tissues, muscles, my nervous system, my brain and heart – all of it. Such a kind experience that I know will continue to deepen. I look forward to what I will shed – and to finding my way back to Vaidyagrama.
A deep bow to the reason, wisdom, and caring intelligence that is Vaidyagrama. My prayer is that this experience can affect and inform how I show up in the world – to create clarity, grace, ease and love. So much gratitude and joy fill me.

Many thanks for the care, concern and excellent treatment. I feel a reduction in chronic inflammation and am overjoyed. The aesthetics and atmosphere contribute greatly. Special thanks to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Vineesh, Dr. Prameela, and therapists Lakshmi, Shobha, Adhaiva & Athira. A small suggestion: Therapy, bathroom, and housekeeping could be more regular and deeper.

To all at Vaidyagrama,
Firstly, many thanks for putting me on the path (once again) to health. Everything I wrote in Aug 2023 still stands, so I’m not repeating it all! I am most grateful for your dedication and knowledge and for upholding the best Ayurvedic traditions. And this year I enjoyed some of the food! I loved kanji!! Maybe it was all just that little bit familiar.
Now I’d like to make some suggestions if I may.
Could you please put up a sign asking people to speak softly on the phone, not put it on speaker and not to play the Hanuman chalisa at 4:30 am?
Your orange lights in the room drive me mad, especially without any shade to dim the glare. Couldn’t you possibly have both white and orange evenly distributed in the rooms, and we could choose what we’d like to switch on?
The mosquitoes, insects, ants, bugs etc make it so hard to sit outside, but if you want to use the net, you don’t have a choice. I’d just scuttle back into my room asap, which I think is a pity and just not on the net but also because you end up seeing so few people, let alone chatting with them.
I think it would be lovely if you played some Western classical music in the Illams. Schumann’s Scenes from Childhood or an Adagio from a Mozart piano concerto would fit in with the mood you’re trying to create. Ayurveda, especially the way you’ll practice it, embodies some of the best traditions of India. I think it would add to the experience if you brought in some of the best traditions from the wider world, too. There’s only so much one can hear of the one flute piece on repeat.
I appreciate the satsangs through which we may understand the principles of Ayurveda better. I’d love it if you’d add how to diagnose oneself (in an amateur way, obviously!) through nails, the tongue, the face, etc. The more correlations I can make, the more likely I am to stay on the straight and narrow. So, a little bit of self-diagnosis would help there.
Basically, don’t shut us further into this thinking: “I did all this and had a lovely time here” – I will be back though and for a couple of years, I hope :) The netted veranda, the weather, and the people made the purification process more likely and fun to stay on.
My sincere and profound thanks to my doctors Dr. Ramadas, Dr Renjisha and Dr Mojin as well as all the therapists who worked with such energy and cheerfulness on me. It is very rare to see everyone’s smiling faces and it inspires one to find oneself at the receiving end of all this support and kindness. My very best wishes to Vaidyagrama. May you continue to thrive! :)

So thankful to have been here in Vaidyagrama with all the wonderful doctors and therapists, the excellent food and lovely cleaning each day. Thank you so much Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Anupama, for all the beautiful and helpful talks from the heart. I feel calm and plain of beauty from the prayers and the Nature, the Satsangs, and the nice people that I met. Thanks, Arya, Athira and all the other therapists. What a paradise you have created. What a gift for the world. Thank you so much. All the best to you. Hope to see you soon again.

I thank the entire Vaidyagrama family for a very harmonious experience over the last 10 days. I thank the founders of Vaidyagrama for creating a holistic place of healing. Their deep knowledge and passion are manifested so well on campus. All aspects of the centre were a smooth experience, the travel arrangements, room allocation & design of the room, the consultation with utmost care and patience, the treatments with staff who are so well trained and dedicated. There was compassion and a desire to serve in everyone I interacted with.
And I felt very well taken care of by Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Ardent, and Dr. Alphonse. Thank you, Doctors, for your dedication & passion. And I learnt a lot from the talks every day at 5:30 pm.
Thank you and lots of love to all.
NOTES
PS. On the last day Dr. Anupama visited. Her gentle, firm presence was very reassuring and calming.
Thank you and lots of love to all.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
All Doctors, Therapists, Housekeepers, cooks, grounds keepers, builders, protectors, and all else that keep this enlightened village alive, growing & expanding, EM MA HO, EM MA HO, EM MA HO. I'm so grateful to have my understanding of the Dharma & the path be so much clarified by the teachings expressed and lived by so many people there. I go home totally inspired and in love with this community and long to return before leaving. Gratitude does not express the fullness of my heart. Peace and gentleness, clarity and love are possible on this Earth for all. I go home & continue to practice with you all.
OM MANI PADME HUM HRI.

To my dearest VG has became like family since day one,
How to write feedback for a place that every time I would come up with a practical, efficient thought, had already thought of that, and more?
Thank you for creating a place where we can switch off the doing mind, and just be, even though thinking less is not so easy at all. I think I have touched every book in the library at least twice and read about 20 of them during my 4 weeks here.
I am so grateful for the eternal love, care and laughter I found here. In a place where all of one is allowed to be, you soon become a blissful pile of nothing. The elegance and grace with which you move amongst all patients, each other, staff, nature, the animals and all above and in between is beyond, and a true example of the sentence that sums up what I’ve learned here: BE HERE NOW.
Potential feedback: Reading bed lights and airholes in the library!
I obviously hope my health won’t need it, but I can’t wait to come back next year, spreading the word to all who are open to having their habits, minds and views on health changed in between.
Eternal gratitude to Dr Renjisha for always making me feel understood and cared for, your commitment and continuous insight as warm and bright as your laugh and determination; to Dr Om for always reassuring every thought, bringing me tears of laughter and holding an impeccable balance of wisdom, knowledge and joy. And thanks to Dr Mojin for making me cry and laugh to the therapists in Illam 3 and Manju, Arunima, Prema, Bala and Karthika – thank you for so much love. I will take the humbleness I feel while being into your hands wherever I go; to the sweet laundry team and all the precious ladies keeping the place that so quickly became my home, impeccable; to all the doctors for sharing their wisdom, experience, knowledge and humour; to Rajnesh for teaching me that orange is yellow and evening walks; to all my family members with greasy hair, smudged eyes and orange toe nails: I LOVE YOU!
See you soon.

I have received so much love and care and attention, it was overwhelming. Binu was my main therapist and was exceptional, special thanks to him. Biju was another therapist who did a wonderful, attentive job. Renjith given superb massage and I thank him too.
Dr Anjana, with her dimple smile, and Dr Perumal were encouraging and supportive, and I thank them greatly. I was under Dr Ramanandan’s care, and I have discovered a master whose knowledge and care are amazing. I am deeply grateful.

To Vaidyagrama to all dearest,
I came to Vaidygrama on 12th November 2025. Everyone was very kind. Everyone treated us as family. The doctor who took care of me all the time. I am very grateful to Doctors Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Megha, Dr. Mojin and to Dr. Ramanandan. Whatever treatment he gave me it worked & he really did understand what I was going through & prescribed only what is good to me. Thank you doctor. My constipation is better now than when I came. Also, my acid reflux is almost cleared. All my pains are mostly gone.
Thank you to all therapists. Bindu Chechi, Darshana, Bala, Laxmi, Prema. They all gave medicines on time and took good care of us.
Morning eye wash process is really good. I loved the place, environment, Dhanvantari temple, Brahmakamalam and all the Bhajans.
My thanks to all of you here…Very Grateful.

The entire staff has been helpful, kind, caring and peaceful. Dr Vinod and Dr Renjisha talked to us every day about the treatment plan and my progress. In particular, therapist Libin ji has taken very good care of me, always performing his duties gently to perfection. I am very pleased about my visit to Vaidyagrama and feel much healthier having received traditional medicinal care performed with integrity and love. My only other feedback is I would have liked to have a working shower in the room.

I leave tomorrow. I did have a rough road on my healing journey this stay, but I was well-looked after and think that my basic issues I came to improve has in fact improved. Just my body’s responses were unexpected and not so fun. Everyone was very kind and generous in their care. I look around and at every level people go about their job with attention to detail, while being friendly and kind. From the doctors, therapists to the house keepers, laundry, office and grounds keepers. And the kitchen is wonderful even if I wound up on congee/ kanji for days — not their fault. Wish I could take them home to cook for me.
Love the opportunity to learn and grow in quietness & spirituality through Satsangs & prayers. I have seen changes that indicate to me real attempts to heal & serve, and not stay the same to make more money. I love how you’re growing. I love the attention to so many details with thought for the space and its health. I personally appreciated the time and space to be quiet and read some great books. This is rare for me.
A special thanks to Dr. Ramanandan who is a multitalented singer, artist and patient-wise generous healer. And to Dr. Shreya who was so consistent and so patient and kind taking me to the hospital. And to Anu who patiently stayed with me for several nights to make sure I made it through my fevers.

Dear Vaidyagrama,
Where did the last three weeks go? It feels like a blur, a blissful blur. Thanks to all the doctors, therapists and the many, many invisible caretakers from cooks, gardeners, administrative staff, maintenance, lunch boys, reception & countless others in this village who make the stay so peaceful and filled with energy. I take with me the smiles of everyone here, the service, good-will of all involved in my care.
From 6 AM Kashayams to bedtime foot massages, from chanting to Satsang, from Kanji to Wednesday feasts, from Kashaya Dhara to Manjakizhi, from Doctor visits multiple times a day, to the therapists’ caring touch, from the gardens, walkways to architecture. Thank you for a second lease on my health!

As I am getting ready to leave the village, I really want to express my gratitude to all who make VG what it is.
From the project of Ramkumar ji and his fellow doctors.
To the audacity and tenacity of Geeta-ji, Dr. Harikumar-ji and the other Directors, and Dr. Hima ji.
The team of great dedicated therapists who seem to work around the clock and give us oil and love – Sneha.
All have taken such good care of me and pampered me like a baby. Babies cry and have to surrender sometimes – I did all of that.
Everyone was lovely – What a great, functional organization: laundry, back office, reception, pharmacy, kitchen… I’m afraid I will forget people and functions.
Everything here is so well thought-through and smart – A true community, the social projects, the Eco Village.
I warmly recommend the experience to anyone ready to challenge themselves, invest in their health (physical, mental, spiritual) and want to leave this place as a better person.
I will fondly remember my stay here– the people, including the guests – this community of prayer, of like-minded people.
A place like no other in this world. Keep doing this, and let’s manifest more life like this.
Much love,

The Universe always conspires to give you what you need – and for us, it provided Vaidyagrama.
Our stay here has helped us to heal our bodies, nourish our souls and rest our fatigued minds. The holistic atmosphere, love and care from the Doctors and therapists have been our saving grace.
In a capitalistic world full of material conquest, it is heartening to see the eco-friendly, Vedic-rich living that Vaidyagrama extends.
We are grateful to have experienced a small part of the great effort that all the staff, doctors, therapists (and many more!) make to keep this gem of a place ticking over – the heart & soul of Vaidyagrama.
May the good work here grow from strength to strength.
With love,

NAMASTE VG!
I stand by my choice-decision to come here in 2020 for the first time to find healing…to look inside for healing, learn to heal by way of life; connect with the Nature, and most importantly our body speaks to us very well.
I truly appreciate everyone who is part of VG and myself, to believe in Ayurveda made possible by Doctors Ramadas, Ramanandan, Vinod, Anupama & Ardent. I am sure the list goes on.. Until next time, thank you!

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
How about I start with a thank you & wow! Everything about the stay here was perfect. The people were amazing. My vaidya, Dr. Vinod is an expert in what he does. Dr. Mojin is so patient & caring. Drs Renjisha & Megha thank you for chasing behind Bastis. The therapist Bala, so energetic, good with the skill & caring. Darshana, Bindu — thank you Chitra for the cleaning. The food crew - thank you for the food preparation, sorting & delivery. All the other Doctors. the other therapists, operations staff and everyone else was very gracious.
Besides the treatment, the 40-day was made wholesome because of a beautiful campus with lots of walking trails, gardens, birds, plants, cows, dogs. The learning app for the mind through all the satsangs of Dr. Ramdas, Dr. Ramkumar, Dr. Harikumar, the morning prayers, eyewash was the highlight of the morning along with the Dhanvantari temple darshan, weekly homams, abhishekams, daily poojas by priest Rajneesh ji, kirtans, monthly Bhagwati pooja, Ganesa homam, annual Sarpa pooja, weekly Cow pooja, Manojayam Conference, food preparation class, orientation concepts of Go-Shala, Balagrama, Nivrittigrama - All contributed to my treatment.
I came as one needing a lot of repair, now going back as someone who has a path to recovery. Thank you to Sujataji, Geetaji, Aparnaji for sprinkling their feminine warmth! Enjoyed the weekly lunches, made some new friends, made some new possible roadmaps for the nurturing with Ivy ji as the sounding board.
Thank you to Dr. Ram Kumar & his supporting vaidyas for making the Vision of Ayurveda health care a reality & benefitting 10,000s of patients like me.
Thank you! This year I had come with my parents & next year looking forward to coming with other family members & friends. I will be fondly thinking of all of you & all that you DO! You are blessed to be chosen to do this work & so am I by coming to your company. Thank you!

I came here for a 10-days detoxification. As I wanted to take a break from my work, I really got connected to the people here and the place. I felt safe, calm and serene. The team of professionals Dr Omprakash, Dr Sajna, Dr Anjana were very good and caring. The therapists were good. Overall, it was a very good experience. I loved Dr Ramadas’ prayers that happen in the evening. He has a bold and beautiful voice. All other teams, housekeeping and everyone are good. Thank you so much!

Our stay at Vaidyagrama has been far more than just a medical experience - It has been a journey of comfort, rejuvenation and emotional well-being and we feel truly blessed to have been in your hands.
Every member of your staff, doctors, therapists, attendants, reception, accounts, admin, top management and support team approach their work with sincerity, compassion and a genuine desire to heal. That kind of dedication is rare and it touched us deeply.

This was my 1st visit to Vaidyagrama hospital. When I was researching retreat centers I found a few options and I felt that this was the best choice. I was in fact extremely well taken care of here by all the staff. The treatments were highly effective for me especially the diet and daily massages. I feel as if I have come back into my body after years of living a stressful life and extremely physical work routine. I was able to practise some light stretching and Yoga Asana daily. I really enjoyed the morning and evening prayer ceremonies. I appreciated all the activities going on. It seemed as if there was always something to look forward to. The time daily flew by for me and it is a little hard not to learn. I think I could do another 21 days here without any problem. I look forward returning and bringing some friends with me. Thanks again to the wonderful staff and wonderful healing experience.

Dear Vaidyagrama Staff,
We leave this serene campus after 18 days of feeling calm, loved, connected, healed and content. This was my first visit — Sadu's third — and each of us will most definitely return to this beautiful healing space.
We were so well taken care of, from food to laundry to room cleaning to treatments — we didn't have to spend energy on anything but healing.
The doctors - every one of them - are incredibly humble, caring, generous and multi-talented. They not only consult and do rounds, but they stop and acknowledge you as you pass in the campus, they conduct the morning and evening prayers, and give talks on a variety of topics. Each of them is a gem!
There is a true sense of family and community here at Vaidyagrama. We have met so many wonderful people from all over who are all on an individual healing journey and yet we all share this natural surrounding together with connected energy.
Each of our secondary doctors was also so generous and caring — Dr. Megha, Dr. Renjisha, and Dr. Tousif. They were always asking how we were doing and made sure that we had what we needed.
Our treatment team, housekeepers — everyone was outstanding. Huge shoutout to therapists Prema, Karthika, Darshana of Illam 2 and on the men's team, Ratheesh was exceptional.
THANK YOU ALL! Thank you for a most immersive healing experience! We will be back!

Vaidyagrama: An Unforeseen Milestone
Satsangs: I want to share the profound impact my stay here has had on me.
Gratitude for Dr. Ramkumar. On the 3rd day (November 22nd), when Dr. Ramkumar talked on personal practices, it became deeply imprinted in my mind. I immediately put the learning into action.
The Lesson of Patience and Right Timing - Observing how you, though knowing the answer, patiently wait for the person to take our own time for realization. Your own example has given me an invaluable lesson.
I came here primarily for physical detoxification, and it became so much more. Vaidyagrama is the life sample of realizing that ethics and business are sustainable and consistent because they are spiritual. This is the wisdom I needed to integrate.
To Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Kavya, Dr. Arun, Dr. Shreya - Thank you for the care, patience and respect you offered me during my treatment. I am grateful for the way you listened and adapted treatments to my needs.
Special thanks!
Dr. Arun – Thank you for listening, discussing and implementing adjustments, and checking on me when I was in pain. Your calm presence and follow-up made a real difference.
Dr. Kavya – Your consistent morning and evening rounds, symptom reviews and coordination kept my process together.
Dr. Ramanandan – Thank you for listening to your staff, being a kind human being and creating a beautiful team.
To the therapists: Anumol, Dhanya, Shyni – very special thank you for taking care of me and my sensitive skin.
I appreciate every person who contributed – front desk, housekeeping, kitchen, pharmacy etc.
This was more than a treatment; it was a turning point.
With deepest gratitude,

I recently completed two weeks at Vaidyagrama for ayurvedic treatment along with my parents, and it was truly an amazing experience. Vaidyagrama is a place that takes care not only of the body, but also of the mind and soul. The positive and serious environment is something we absolutely loved and that played a huge part in the healing process. Everyone here is extremely sincere, dedicated and deeply committed to their work. We were especially inspired by how self-sustainable the place is and by the strong emphasis and living in harmony with Nature. Vaidyagrama is much more than an Ayurvedic healing village - It is & shows a way of life. The Satsangs were also insightful and added value to our overall experience.
All the doctors Dr Ramanandan, Dr. Vineesh, Dr.Megha, Dr. Sajna, Dr Anjana and Dr Prameela were amazing. They are extremely nice, patient and always available, which made us feel completely cared for and confident in treatment process.
The therapists - Athira, Shobha, Lakshmi, Biju VC, Biju KL, Renjith and Binu and couple of others whose names I may forget, were wonderful. They are incredible, sincere and deeply compassionate towards patients, and their dedication truly shows in their work.
A special mention to the lady who did daily cleaning- her sincerity and attention to patients was good. Heartfelt thanks to all staff who prepared the food and medicines take care of plantations to keep this beautiful place running smoothly.
A very special thanks to Aparna ji for making our stay so beautiful. We love Vaidyagrama with deep gratitude and wonderful memories and would recommend this place wholeheartedly.

I came to Vaidyagrama, unsure of whether I would be able to find a solution to my problem. What I am living with is hope and belief that the treatment that I have received and the medicine that I will be taking in the future are going to help me completely heal and recover. While the start was a bit rough, with my condition flaring up quite a bit, within the duration of my stay. My flare up went away and I was feeling better and more confident in myself and my treatment. While this may only the start of my healing journey, I could not have ask for a better team of doctors, therapists and others, who have shown me so much kindness and care made my stay amazing. Every member of your staff have been incredible and professional. Hopefully next time I come, and I can take part in more activities like satsangs and poojas. I will be revisiting and I hope to see you all soon.
Special thanks to Dr. Vinod and Dr. Prameela who made my treatments assuring and kept me upbeat and motivated. Thanks to the therapists, Renjith, Biju KL, Binu and others for all the care they took during the treatment and being patient with me. And a final thank you to the kitchen staff, housekeeping and other attendants for all they do and accommodating my requests. Thank you.

This was our first visit to Vaidygarama or any such facility. We are very happy to have come here. Vaidyagrama gave us the opportunity to experience the ayurvedic way of healing and come to know about "dinacharya" and [how] important it is in our life.
Our doctors, therapists and other staff were wonderful. Initially it was a little difficult to follow the dinacharya; but slowly and with constant encouragement from our doctors, it became easier.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Vaidyagrama team of Doctors for this initiation and orientation to begin our healing journey. The treatments have prepared the body to feel lighter and stronger. The consultations and satsangs have given great insights to stimulate the mind in the right direction. We are concluding this visit and stay, hopeful and looking forward to coming back healthier and happier.
Thanks to the entire team at VG for a wonderful stay. Our therapists—Bindu chechi, Darshana, Aditya Bala, Manju, Prema took great care and served with joy.
The housekeeping team, the laundry service, helpdesk, accounts, everything was so smooth and hassle free.
Our doctors – Dr. Ramadas, many thanks to him for emphasising and repeating the importance of healing the spirit to heal the body and living a simple and purposeful life.
Dr. Renjisha for her warmth and wisdom.
Dr. Mojin for the joy and love.
Dr. Suruchi for making sure all our needs are met.
Few suggestions:
Deeply touched by the humility and warmth here. Going back feeling renewed.

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
A journey of healing starts here with the age-old traditions of Ayurveda which all the dedicated senior and junior doctors take ahead with the therapists, cleaners, administration, reception, accountants and priests. A healing world of holistic attention, experience and care, physical, mental and spiritual, has been positive for me during my stay. God bless you.
My deep gratitude to caring and protecting Dr Sajna, sunshine Dr Anjana, sweet and gentle therapists Rahitha and Sandhya and all the compassionate small and big hands.

Dear Vaidyagrama Team, Thanks to the entire family of Vaidyagrama for building this space & maintaining it the way it is needed for the busy lives we live.
It felt serene, calm, peaceful, spiritual and more importantly, healing my body and soul.
I came here after being referred to by my husband and the lifestyle changes he adopted. (He visited in Dec 2024)
I am suffering from a chronic issue and am being treated by many doctors. No one addressed the root cause of the pain I am going through.
I had consultation with Dr. Vinod ji online and he was able to relate to my pain and suggested Panchakarma along with my chronic issue treatment.
From the moment I arrived, I knew that I am well taken care of for my health and all the things a healing soul needs.
I enjoyed my mornings, especially the bird chirping, cows mooing and beautiful trees. I especially enjoyed the visits of peacocks during my walks.
Things I enjoyed most were:
Dr. Vinod ji’s consultation - He not only addressed my health issue but also gave better insights on how simple things can make a better healthy lifestyle. He is very empathetic, knowledgeable and has a great sense of dedication to serve. He made sure of visiting me every day except for his off days. Many times he used to stop by me during my walks when am not in room during his consultation visit.
Suggestion: I missed many of Ramkumar ji's sessions and Wednesday group lunches due to treatment-time conflicts. They can be planned a bit better if possible.
Thank you all for a wonderful experience. Heart felt thanks.. Love to visit again soon!!

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
Special thank you to Dr Om Prakash ji, Dr Megha ji, Dr Suruchi ji, dearest Karthika, Aditya Bala (Big Boss), Kesiya, Ebison, Darshana, Manju ji and all whom I’ve crossed paths with in my short time here.
In one of the satsangs, Dr Ramdas ji mentioned if you’re here, there’s a reason for it — I can only attest to that... I came to Vaidygarama feeling depleted however in the course of 7-9 days I’ve been able to feel rejuvenated, inflammation reduced drastically!
The beautiful environment here, with the cows mooing, peacocks strolling, birds chirping, squirrels scurrying around & the mosquitoes (!), all enable healing to happen at the soul level.
I appreciate waking up before the sun rises, going for satsang/prayer at 6:15am and the temple visit that gives a quiet sense of stillness within. I will miss the temple a lot — it’s my favourite place if I can name one!
I also enjoyed the simple meals here, especially tea time with the steamed Kerala banana! And idli, dosai, and many more... I enjoyed the cooking demonstrations too.
I also want to give my thanks & appreciation to Dr Suruchi who followed me on my 2nd day for a procedure on my left thumb due to an infection. She was right by my side at every moment! Thank you so much! ♡
I feel like I'm missing a few names of whom I would like to thank but I'm sure I will be back soon again and look forward to my next time already!
Pranams from a very full heart ♡
Best,

I was truly impressed by the level of detail and coordination Athira provided, which made my travel smooth and gave me the confidence to visit this Ayurveda centre. My first virtual consultation was with Dr Om Prakash, whose insights played a key role in my decision to choose this establishment for my treatment.
I was equally impressed with him and the dedicated team of doctors, including Dr. Ardent and Dr. Alphonse. All three doctors followed up with me regularly and patiently addressed all my questions, providing clear guidance throughout my treatment journey.
Within two weeks, I noticed a reduction in my glucose levels and learned valuable lifestyle disciplines, particularly around mindful eating and earlier sleep habits, which contributed to better overall health.
I deeply enjoyed the daily morning prayers with Dr Ramadas, as well as multiple satsangs conducted each day by the founder Dr Ramkumar and other vaidyas. These sessions offered profound insights that helped me apply holistic practices to improve my body, mind and spiritual wellbeing.
I am very much looking forward to returning for a longer stay and hope to bring my family with me on my next visit.

All good things come to an end, and already here alas is in that category. It’s been an eye-opening experience, not just about what I’ve learned about Ayurveda, which is far more than I could have imagined, but also about the village and the people who live and work here.
I have been treated with care and compassion across the board. Be it in the treatment room, or by the housekeeping staff or the administrative personnel. People could not have been nicer. Our medical team has been extremely responsive towards us. When adjustments were needed in medications or treatments, they were quickly and thoughtfully provided.
I ask a lot of questions. It is my nature as I am curious about this world we live in. Our doctors were patient and thorough in explaining concepts, procedures, medications and the like. Their knowledge is comprehensive and their wisdom readily shared.
I especially enjoyed the satsangs where various Ayurveda topics were explored and explained. In particular, the emphasis on the integration of body, mind and spirit and their role in healing was new to me. I am thankful that we found, learned and have been exposed to the philosophy it represents. Now the work begins on integrating this way of being in the world at home. I’ll do my best!
P.S. Hugs and kisses to Greshma, Anju and Bindu, our therapists, along with Bhagya, our housekeeper, who worked so hard on our behalf. And of course, our medical team Doctors. We would be lost without you. Special mention to Satish who Bob relied on so heavily.

Before arriving in VG, I had lots of doubts and anxieties, not knowing if I would ever overcome from my burn out. Once arriving here I have been taken into good care by Dr Ardent and Dr Alphonse.
I wasn’t expecting much and yet they somehow succeeded to make me overcome my mental issue. It is true that when you are surrounded by people who dedicate their time, expertise and human comfort, the process of healing becomes greater than what we expected.
I’m grateful to the doctors, the therapists and all the staff for taking good care of me.
With love,

To my team and all the wonderful supportive staff, my sincere thanks for the love and care at every step and in every aspect of my stay here. You all have created an amazing space for healing at all levels.
I came here needing to heal mentally, emotionally, bodily and spiritually from a very difficult year and there are no accidents that I ended up here. It has been the perfect place and provided me a framework for a healing journey in the months ahead.
For anyone healing from anything I would highly recommend Vaidyagrama as a place to do this. Their integrity and purity of purpose stand out as exemplary. Thank you so much for creating such an environment.
Namaskars!

We warmly thank the doctors for their constant attention – Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Kavya & Dr. Arun. We also thank the whole team of the Illam 4 for the treatments, the cleaning and cooking and their work of quality.
Ingrid – I liked the morning ceremonies & prayers and the poojas – starting the day like that gave me the strength and balance to face what could have been difficult.
Pascale - Waking in the morning and being in the fresh morning air of the gardens seeing the mist being swallowed by the morning sun – Feeling more at ease in my body that I had for a very long time.
Ingrid - The smell of jasmine flowers in the evening, talking with other patients, the satsangs about Philosophy & Ayurveda.
Pascale - I liked to experiment day-by-day life with durable & washable utensils, living in a house built mainly with local earth, eating fruits & vegetables from the garden, in short, living in a sober and healthy environment.
Ingrid - I liked the prayer before the treatments, and the oil on the forehead.
Pascale - When I walked past people, nearly all the time seeing them smile.
Ingrid - I liked the mosquito nets, the fermented bread and the buttermilk, and how the doctors always reacted rapidly to solve pain or difficult situations.

This is my 10th annual visit in December for Panchakarma. I enjoy coming half-way around the world for a Holiday "Soak" in the Healing Atmosphere of Vaidygarama. I leave here as close to being with my Self as a harmonious integrated individual at all levels. A feeling as deeply secure in my Being. I enjoy the solitude I find as well as joyful interaction with many just steps from my room.
Dr. Ramkumar's Satsangs and morning talks with the Doctors are helpful and healing. Thanks to Dr. Ramadas always and for teaching me to find self and Be Happy. Thanks to the wonderful hands and hearts of the therapists and thanks for the many wondrous other patients that has been friendly and fun to be with and remember some for many years.
Happy 2026 to All!

Dearest Vaidyagrama doctors and staff,
I happened to discover Vaidyagrama through Google. How fortunate I feel to have found this treasure chest of Navaratnas (nine gems) right in my homeland of Tamil Nadu.
My dearest Dr. Om Prakash — spiritually serene like a deer, energetic like an Energizer bunny, and filled with warmth and humour!
Dr. Anagha — graceful, gentle and an expert at enemas (hai!). Your calming presence made me feel completely at home and at ease. Thank you.
Nirmala — Being with someone who is also a mother like me and chatting about life was as rewarding as your massages and therapies. Thank you. Your calm maturity is deeply appreciated.
Kalpana — my dear fellow Tamilian, you have such firm and caring hands. Thank you for your wonderful massages and treatments.
To all my dear junior therapists…
Unni Maya with her firm fingers,
Shruti with her lovely spirit,
Aneesha with her wit and smart solutions to problems,
Anita with her amazing smile,
Praveena for her excellent service in the kitchen and therapy room,
Femila with her sweet demeanour.
Each of you is amazing. Your sincerity, care, love and warmth made every session a pleasure. Thank you so much!
To Housekeeping — Shenbagavalli, Devi, Mukti Devi, Mohammad, Parashakti, and everyone who serves tirelessly to keep this place clean and organised. Thank you!
To the Priests — My dearest Shankaran Namboodiri Mama and Rajeev ji. Your daily, detailed poojas and beautiful homams to Ganesha and Dhanwantari were truly special. They made my healing so much deeper. The spiritual healing opened spaces for physical, mental and emotional healing. Thank you and also to everyone who led the morning and evening prayers.
To all the doctors — Dr. Sreeji, Dr. Vineesh, Dr. Rahul, Dr. Ramdas and Dr. Ramkumar — thank you for your care and wisdom. The satsangs were especially helpful and enriching.
To all other staff --
The front desk team, always willing to help with warm smiles, despite being bombarded with requests.
The garden staff, for lovingly caring for the flowers and plants, and for creating a beautiful bouquet for Letitia..
And the kitchen staff, for the healthy, delicious food — and the unforgettable “Ayurvedic cake.”
To my fellow patients — Elmar from Germany, Letitia from Ishana, Poornima from D.C., Laura from New Mexico, and Jo from Sydney — Your fun and supportive presence made this healing journey faster and so much more joyful.
I hope this is the first of many visits to this unique, wholesome and deeply caring, healing village. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I just completed 21 days at VG. When I came, I was unsure what to expect, but had heard many good things not only from friends, but also my wife who had come earlier in the year.
From day one, I loved the complete immersion into an authentic Ayurvedic experience. I was very impressed with the kindness, empathy, love that emanates from not only the doctors, but also the staff, cleanliness, support people. Such a culture of excellence is very hard to create and maintain. Deep respect for the Management.
21 days flew by. Every morning I looked forward to the chanting and Vishu Sahasranamam (especially by Dr Ramdas), and every evening the same for Lalita Sahasranamam. The spiritual foundation of the place resonated deeply with me.
A special shoutout to my doctors Dr. Prameela and Dr. Sreeji. Each in her own way has enriched my stay and given me tools I can take home.
I leave with fond memories and gratitude.

I intended to stay for two nights to accompany my partner. However, I became so curious about the treatments and practices that I ended up staying for over a week.
My time here has genuinely opened my eyes to a different approach to health, and I have never before encountered doctors who show such care and empathy for their patients. The doctors are teachers and guides who listen deeply to what the patient describes. In this regard I particularly give my gratitude to Dr Om Prakash, who has the most engaging manner.
I will leave Vaidyagrama thinking in a fresh way about how to care for my body.

If I can be a little contributor to your success, I will keep on coming back here again & again.
God bless you all for healing. Let there be light in every soul. My sincere prayers!!

It is always great to be here in VG, my second home, a place filled with positive vibes. The MD, the Medical Directors, senior doctors, senior therapists always extend so much care & warmth. I could also see a lot of young doctors and young therapists there also who treated me with respect. The doctors Kavya, Shreya and therapist Seema are exceptionally good. They took care of me as their own most. My experience with the entire team in VG, the management, medical and the support staff is very memorable as ever.
I always look forward to be here soon. Saying a bye, with all my prayers and wishes for VG to grow much bigger. Only love to all the VG team… Take care.

I never imagined that receiving treatment for issues that have been bothering me for a long time could be such a wonderful and positively memorable experience.
The environment, the support staff who took constant care of me while graciously accommodating my “extra” requests, and the doctors — all are truly amazing.
Although I have been listening to the Vishnu Sahasranama and Lalitha Sahasranama for over 30 years, it was here that I looked into the book more deeply and gained a better understanding.
The other residents — some of whom I can now call friends — were my saviours. In this short time, I met some truly wonderful people. This place is a perfect getaway for detoxification and healing. I feel truly blessed to have been a part of this community.
I can’t wait to come back again soon! Thank you once again, from the bottom of my heart, for the healing and the unforgettable experience.

To all in the VG Universe,
Taking an ancient healing system rooted in the Science of Nature and bringing it to life is no easy feat. It is one thing for a few individuals to believe in the idea, but for an entire gramam to believe in it and live it every single day requires divine intention. Vaidyagrama is truly blessed by the Supreme, and I sincerely hope those blessings continue for eternity.
It was not easy, and it required considerable convincing for me to fully commit to the program. However, on this final day, as I prepare to leave this place, I feel like a changed man. I leave with a renewed set of resolutions, deeply inspired by the ethos of this place and the learnings I received from the doctors, staff and the many friends I made here. This is what I will carry with me until I return again.
With all love and gratitude,
Yours truly,

I came to Vaidyagrama for the first time and spent 23 days here in comfort and harmony. My physical and mental health improved significantly. I gained a lot of new knowledge about the principles and methods of Ayurveda, as well as experience in improving my quality of life.
I’m very grateful to Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Sreya, and all the doctors and staff of the clinic for the attention and care shown to me.
While preparing to travel to India for Ayurvedic treatment, I received two recommendations for Vaidyagrama from independent friends. Then I conducted research using AI and compared it with the top 10 clinics in and around Kerala, and realized that Vaidyagrama is the best clinic in terms of the combination of treatment quality and living conditions. Now that my treatment is complete, I understand that I made the right choice.
I have already started recommending the clinic to my friends and will come back here myself next time.
With best wishes,

Dear Good Souls of Vaidyagrama,
My wife and I thank every one of the Vaidyagrama family for the great experience you people have given us in the last 21 days.
First time we came across such dedicated medical professionals supported by a great team of people focussed on patient well-being & comfort. The stay was so enriching & soothing to the soul & body apart from the improvements to the overall health. The satsangs were very informative and engaging apart from the daily spiritual routines we had. The healing journey is very holistic with the right number of medicines, therapies, healthy conversations, spiritual poojas & a serene environment.
Special thanks to the team led by Dr. Ramadas, supported by Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Mojin, Dr. Suruchi and a great team of therapists Ms. Bindu, Ms. Bala, Ms. Aparna, Mr. Aneesh, Mr. Mithun, Mr. Libin & Mr. Ratheesh. Thanks to all the back-end members who helped us in this 21-day healing journey which is a great start for the years to come.
God bless you all with all the choicest blessings to help more & more people. Thank you all.

Thanks to Dr. Vinod ji, Megha ji, Renjisha ji. Also thanks to the wonderful therapists – Anu chechi, Bindhu chechi, and others who helped. If I have missed any excellent staff or others, please forgive me. You are provided with advanced treatments, supply of medicines, through food with tabs here. The kitchen team kindly helped the Illam team. Also keeping many thanks to the laundry team for adding. The daily guest program was great.
The morning prayers and evening satsangs, though only about an hour, added great value. The Ayurvedic treatment provided a clear direction toward better health. I am truly grateful for this healing period. A big thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, day and night, to make the Ayurvedic Healing Village possible.

This is my 4th trip to VG and has become my yearly ritual. Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Ardent & Dr. Anupama patiently answered all my questions. They genuinely cared about my healing. The therapists were always smiling. Big thanks to therapists Kavitha, Vincy & Suranya. Housekeeping staff were smiling & professional as well.
One suggestion would be to increase numbers of therapists, because there were days when they were overwhelmed & so some mistakes were made.
Overall had a great experience and I will be back next year.

From Mitchel:
We have been wanting to come to India and do Panchakarma for years and we are so happy that we found Vaidyagrama. Already we are feeling positive health changes, and we have 3 months of home treatments to go. Special thanks to our special doctors, Dr Harikumar who taught us spiritually and medically, and to Dr Alphonse who was patient and kind with us and is a new friend. We enjoyed meeting the other patients and fully participated in VG’s poojas, satsangs and homam ceremonies. Much love and thanks to all who have demonstrated kindness and care to us. Namaste Vaidyagrama.
From Cathy:
For many years now I’ve had dreams of coming to India. In one dream I told my Bharatanatyam dance teacher the dream and she told me – that’s Kerala. Now in my 68th year I am actually here. This place is what my dream looked and felt like. I am so grateful to find this place. I never dreamed that the India of my dreams existed in present time. The village atmosphere and beauty of Nature cared for with eloquent touch, knowledge and love of this earth.
Something about the Vaidyagrama care/ treatments here that stand out to me –
Dr. Harikumar is the best Mind surgeon. He got exactly where I need to transform, reflected on this, consistently gave me guidance on how to move forward taking responsibility for my part.
Dr. Alphonse touched us with her knowledgeable care and by becoming closer to us like our family member. She listened and guided and allowed me to open my heart to her.
The therapists Princy, Sindhu, Gayathri and others too showed me how ayurveda, this ancient science exists through the hands that serve it. I felt their hands showing me how to receive Ayurveda. I thank all the staffs here, the doctors who gave Satsang, teach have helped so much.

The staff on every level is amazing: caring therapists, delicious food, housekeeping, buggy drivers, and all the smiling faces in reception.
A special note to Dr. Ramadas for sharing your knowledge and your generosity in the treatments. Dr. Rose, for your guidance and care.
It has been such an honour for the three of us to be here, supported by all of you. Thanks for being so warm, loving and caring with Bruno. He will miss you all. Deep bow of gratitude to all of you.
With love and respect,

I have received so much love and care and attention, it was overwhelming. Binu was my main therapist and was exceptional, special thanks to him. Biju was another therapist who did a wonderful, attentive job. Renjith given superb massage and I thank him too.
Dr Anjana, with her dimple smile, and Dr Perumal were encouraging and supportive, and I thank them greatly. I was under Dr Ramanandan’s care, and I have discovered a master whose knowledge and care are amazing. I am deeply grateful.

To Vaidyagrama to all dearest,
I came to Vaidygrama on 12th November 2025. Everyone was very kind. Everyone treated us as family. The doctor who took care of me all the time. I am very grateful to Doctors Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Megha, Dr. Mojin and to Dr. Ramanandan. Whatever treatment he gave me it worked & he really did understand what I was going through & prescribed only what is good to me. Thank you doctor. My constipation is better now than when I came. Also, my acid reflux is almost cleared. All my pains are mostly gone.
Thank you to all therapists. Bindu Chechi, Darshana, Bala, Laxmi, Prema. They all gave medicines on time and took good care of us.
Morning eye wash process is really good. I loved the place, environment, Dhanvantari temple, Brahmakamalam and all the Bhajans.
My thanks to all of you here…Very Grateful.

The entire staff has been helpful, kind, caring and peaceful. Dr Vinod and Dr Renjisha talked to us every day about the treatment plan and my progress. In particular, therapist Libin ji has taken very good care of me, always performing his duties gently to perfection. I am very pleased about my visit to Vaidyagrama and feel much healthier having received traditional medicinal care performed with integrity and love. My only other feedback is I would have liked to have a working shower in the room.

I leave tomorrow. I did have a rough road on my healing journey this stay, but I was well-looked after and think that my basic issues I came to improve has in fact improved. Just my body’s responses were unexpected and not so fun. Everyone was very kind and generous in their care. I look around and at every level people go about their job with attention to detail, while being friendly and kind. From the doctors, therapists to the house keepers, laundry, office and grounds keepers. And the kitchen is wonderful even if I wound up on congee/ kanji for days — not their fault. Wish I could take them home to cook for me.
Love the opportunity to learn and grow in quietness & spirituality through Satsangs & prayers. I have seen changes that indicate to me real attempts to heal & serve, and not stay the same to make more money. I love how you’re growing. I love the attention to so many details with thought for the space and its health. I personally appreciated the time and space to be quiet and read some great books. This is rare for me.
A special thanks to Dr. Ramanandan who is a multitalented singer, artist and patient-wise generous healer. And to Dr. Shreya who was so consistent and so patient and kind taking me to the hospital. And to Anu who patiently stayed with me for several nights to make sure I made it through my fevers.

As I am getting ready to leave the village, I really want to express my gratitude to all who make VG what it is.
From the project of Ramkumar ji and his fellow doctors.
To the audacity and tenacity of Geeta-ji, Dr. Harikumar-ji and the other Directors, and Dr. Hima ji.
The team of great dedicated therapists who seem to work around the clock and give us oil and love – Sneha.
All have taken such good care of me and pampered me like a baby. Babies cry and have to surrender sometimes – I did all of that.
Everyone was lovely – What a great, functional organization: laundry, back office, reception, pharmacy, kitchen… I’m afraid I will forget people and functions.
Everything here is so well thought-through and smart – A true community, the social projects, the Eco Village.
I warmly recommend the experience to anyone ready to challenge themselves, invest in their health (physical, mental, spiritual) and want to leave this place as a better person.
I will fondly remember my stay here– the people, including the guests – this community of prayer, of like-minded people.
A place like no other in this world. Keep doing this, and let’s manifest more life like this.
Much love,

The Universe always conspires to give you what you need – and for us, it provided Vaidyagrama.
Our stay here has helped us to heal our bodies, nourish our souls and rest our fatigued minds. The holistic atmosphere, love and care from the Doctors and therapists have been our saving grace.
In a capitalistic world full of material conquest, it is heartening to see the eco-friendly, Vedic-rich living that Vaidyagrama extends.
We are grateful to have experienced a small part of the great effort that all the staff, doctors, therapists (and many more!) make to keep this gem of a place ticking over – the heart & soul of Vaidyagrama.
May the good work here grow from strength to strength.
With love,

NAMASTE VG!
I stand by my choice-decision to come here in 2020 for the first time to find healing…to look inside for healing, learn to heal by way of life; connect with the Nature, and most importantly our body speaks to us very well.
I truly appreciate everyone who is part of VG and myself, to believe in Ayurveda made possible by Doctors Ramadas, Ramanandan, Vinod, Anupama & Ardent. I am sure the list goes on.. Until next time, thank you!

Enjoyed the weekly lunches, made some new friends, made some new possible roadmaps for the nurturing with Ivy ji as the sounding board.
Thank you to Dr. Ram Kumar & his supporting vaidyas for making the Vision of Ayurveda health care a reality & benefitting 10,000s of patients like me.

I came here for a 10-days detoxification. As I wanted to take a break from my work, I really got connected to the people here and the place. I felt safe, calm and serene. The team of professionals Dr Omprakash, Dr Sajna, Dr Anjana were very good and caring. The therapists were good. Overall, it was a very good experience. I loved Dr Ramadas’ prayers that happen in the evening. He has a bold and beautiful voice. All other teams, housekeeping and everyone are good. Thank you so much!

We want to express our deepest gratitude to each one of you for exceptional care, warmth and healing you offered us during our stay at your centre. Our stay at Vaidyagrama has been far more than just a medical experience - It has been a journey of comfort, rejuvenation and emotional well-being and we feel truly blessed to have been in your hands.
Every member of your staff, doctors, therapists, attendants, reception, accounts, admin, top management and support team approach their work with sincerity, compassion and a genuine desire to heal. That kind of dedication is rare and it touched us deeply.
Special thanks to Dr OmPrakash and Dr Prameela, who made our stay homely, friendly and purposeful.

This was my 1st visit to Vaidyagrama hospital. When I was researching retreat centers I found a few options and I felt that this was the best choice. I was in fact extremely well taken care of here by all the staff. The treatments were highly effective for me especially the diet and daily massages. I feel as if I have come back into my body after years of living a stressful life and extremely physical work routine. I was able to practise some light stretching and Yoga Asana daily. I really enjoyed the morning and evening prayer ceremonies. I appreciated all the activities going on. It seemed as if there was always something to look forward to. The time daily flew by for me and it is a little hard not to learn. I think I could do another 21 days here without any problem. I look forward returning and bringing some friends with me. Thanks again to the wonderful staff and wonderful healing experience.

Dear Vaidyagrama Staff,
We leave this serene campus after 18 days of feeling calm, loved, connected, healed and content. This was my first visit — Sadu's third — and each of us will most definitely return to this beautiful healing space.
We were so well taken care of, from food to laundry to room cleaning to treatments — we didn't have to spend energy on anything but healing.
The doctors - every one of them - are incredibly humble, caring, generous and multi-talented. They not only consult and do rounds, but they stop and acknowledge you as you pass in the campus, they conduct the morning and evening prayers, and give talks on a variety of topics. Each of them is a gem!
There is a true sense of family and community here at Vaidyagrama. We have met so many wonderful people from all over who are all on an individual healing journey and yet we all share this natural surrounding together with connected energy.
Each of our secondary doctors was also so generous and caring — Dr. Megha, Dr. Renjisha, and Dr. Tousif. They were always asking how we were doing and made sure that we had what we needed.
Our treatment team, housekeepers — everyone was outstanding. Huge shoutout to therapists Prema, Karthika, Darshana of Illam 2 and on the men's team, Ratheesh was exceptional.
THANK YOU ALL! Thank you for a most immersive healing experience! We will be back!

Vaidyagrama: An Unforeseen Milestone
Satsangs: I want to share the profound impact my stay here has had on me.
Gratitude for Dr. Ramkumar. On the 3rd day (November 22nd), when Dr. Ramkumar talked on personal practices, it became deeply imprinted in my mind. I immediately put the learning into action.
The Lesson of Patience and Right Timing - Observing how you, though knowing the answer, patiently wait for the person to take our own time for realization. Your own example has given me an invaluable lesson.
I came here primarily for physical detoxification, and it became so much more. Vaidyagrama is the life sample of realizing that ethics and business are sustainable and consistent because they are spiritual. This is the wisdom I needed to integrate.
To Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Kavya, Dr. Arun, Dr. Shreya - Thank you for the care, patience and respect you offered me during my treatment. I am grateful for the way you listened and adapted treatments to my needs.
Special thanks!
Dr. Arun – Thank you for listening, discussing and implementing adjustments, and checking on me when I was in pain. Your calm presence and follow-up made a real difference.
Dr. Kavya – Your consistent morning and evening rounds, symptom reviews and coordination kept my process together.
Dr. Ramanandan – Thank you for listening to your staff, being a kind human being and creating a beautiful team.
To the therapists: Anumol, Dhanya, Shyni – very special thank you for taking care of me and my sensitive skin.
I appreciate every person who contributed – front desk, housekeeping, kitchen, pharmacy etc.
This was more than a treatment; it was a turning point.
With deepest gratitude,

I recently completed two weeks at Vaidyagrama for ayurvedic treatment along with my parents, and it was truly an amazing experience. Vaidyagrama is a place that takes care not only of the body, but also of the mind and soul. The positive and serious environment is something we absolutely loved and that played a huge part in the healing process. Everyone here is extremely sincere, dedicated and deeply committed to their work. We were especially inspired by how self-sustainable the place is and by the strong emphasis and living in harmony with Nature. Vaidyagrama is much more than an Ayurvedic healing village - It is & shows a way of life. The Satsangs were also insightful and added value to our overall experience.
All the doctors Dr Ramanandan, Dr. Vineesh, Dr.Megha, Dr. Sajna, Dr Anjana and Dr Prameela were amazing. They are extremely nice, patient and always available, which made us feel completely cared for and confident in treatment process.
The therapists - Athira, Shobha, Lakshmi, Biju VC, Biju KL, Renjith and Binu and couple of others whose names I may forget, were wonderful. They are incredible, sincere and deeply compassionate towards patients, and their dedication truly shows in their work.
A special mention to the lady who did daily cleaning- her sincerity and attention to patients was good. Heartfelt thanks to all staff who prepared the food and medicines take care of plantations to keep this beautiful place running smoothly.
A very special thanks to Aparna ji for making our stay so beautiful. We love Vaidyagrama with deep gratitude and wonderful memories and would recommend this place wholeheartedly.

I came to Vaidyagrama, unsure of whether I would be able to find a solution to my problem. What I am living with is hope and belief that the treatment that I have received and the medicine that I will be taking in the future are going to help me completely heal and recover. While the start was a bit rough, with my condition flaring up quite a bit, within the duration of my stay. My flare up went away and I was feeling better and more confident in myself and my treatment. While this may only the start of my healing journey, I could not have ask for a better team of doctors, therapists and others, who have shown me so much kindness and care made my stay amazing. Every member of your staff have been incredible and professional. Hopefully next time I come, and I can take part in more activities like satsangs and poojas. I will be revisiting and I hope to see you all soon.
Special thanks to Dr. Vinod and Dr. Prameela who made my treatments assuring and kept me upbeat and motivated. Thanks to the therapists, Renjith, Biju KL, Binu and others for all the care they took during the treatment and being patient with me. And a final thank you to the kitchen staff, housekeeping and other attendants for all they do and accommodating my requests. Thank you.

This was our first visit to Vaidygarama or any such facility. We are very happy to have come here. Vaidyagrama gave us the opportunity to experience the ayurvedic way of healing and come to know about "dinacharya" and [how] important it is in our life.
Our doctors, therapists and other staff were wonderful. Initially it was a little difficult to follow the dinacharya; but slowly and with constant encouragement from our doctors, it became easier.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Vaidyagrama team of Doctors for this initiation and orientation to begin our healing journey. The treatments have prepared the body to feel lighter and stronger. The consultations and satsangs have given great insights to stimulate the mind in the right direction. We are concluding this visit and stay, hopeful and looking forward to coming back healthier and happier.
Thanks to the entire team at VG for a wonderful stay. Our therapists—Bindu chechi, Darshana, Aditya Bala, Manju, Prema took great care and served with joy.
The housekeeping team, the laundry service, helpdesk, accounts, everything was so smooth and hassle free.
Our doctors – Dr. Ramadas, many thanks to him for emphasising and repeating the importance of healing the spirit to heal the body and living a simple and purposeful life.
Dr. Renjisha for her warmth and wisdom.
Dr. Mojin for the joy and love.
Dr. Suruchi for making sure all our needs are met.
Few suggestions:
- In case the patients forget to bring their own glucometers - The needle of a common instrument should be changed in front of the patient—or a needle should be provided to the patient to be used every day. It can be billed.
- The same therapists should be assigned for all days.
- Meditation and yoga asana along with pranayama should also be part of dinacharya along with prayers and satsangs.
Deeply touched by the humility and warmth here. Going back feeling renewed.
Sarve Bhavantu Sukhina: GRATITUDE & GOD BLESS

Dear Vaidyagrama Team, Thanks to the entire family of Vaidyagrama for building this space & maintaining it the way it is needed for the busy lives we live.
It felt serene, calm, peaceful, spiritual and more importantly, healing my body and soul.
I came here after being referred to by my husband and the lifestyle changes he adopted. (He visited in Dec 2024)
I am suffering from a chronic issue and am being treated by many doctors. No one addressed the root cause of the pain I am going through.
I had consultation with Dr. Vinod ji online and he was able to relate to my pain and suggested Panchakarma along with my chronic issue treatment.
From the moment I arrived, I knew that I am well taken care of for my health and all the things a healing soul needs.
I enjoyed my mornings, especially the bird chirping, cows mooing and beautiful trees. I especially enjoyed the visits of peacocks during my walks.
Things I enjoyed most were:
Dr. Vinod ji’s consultation - He not only addressed my health issue but also gave better insights on how simple things can make a better healthy lifestyle. He is very empathetic, knowledgeable and has a great sense of dedication to serve. He made sure of visiting me every day except for his off days. Many times he used to stop by me during my walks when am not in room during his consultation visit.
- Dr. Megha ji - she was very empathetic, caring & loving. And very thorough with all the follow ups & checkings. Adapted and handled all my diet changes multiple times.
- Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Suruchi - They are beautiful souls and always ready to take care of me and others.
- Dr. Tousif - A very special and heartfelt thanks to his care and going an extra mile to taking care of patients’ mind health also. My mom visited for a few days & I was worried about sending her alone to catch her train because of the language barrier. Dr. Tousif dropped her at the Railway station & made sure she was comfortable. An example of how little things make a huge impact.
- Satsangs are enlightening & thought-provoking.
- Limited internet and prayers are part of daily routine.
- My sincere gratitude to all the therapists for the treatments (Karthika, Arunima, Manju akka, Keziya, Prema Akka, Darshana, Aparna, Ramya, Bala) and making this journey blissful.
Suggestion: I missed many of Ramkumar ji's sessions and Wednesday group lunches due to treatment-time conflicts. They can be planned a bit better if possible.
Thank you all for a wonderful experience. Heart felt thanks.. Love to visit again soon!!

Dear Vaidyagrama team,
Special thank you to Dr Om Prakash ji, Dr Megha ji, Dr Suruchi ji, dearest Karthika, Aditya Bala (Big Boss), Kesiya, Ebison, Darshana, Manju ji and all whom I’ve crossed paths with in my short time here.
In one of the satsangs, Dr Ramdas ji mentioned if you’re here, there’s a reason for it — I can only attest to that... I came to Vaidygarama feeling depleted however in the course of 7-9 days I’ve been able to feel rejuvenated, inflammation reduced drastically!
The beautiful environment here, with the cows mooing, peacocks strolling, birds chirping, squirrels scurrying around & the mosquitoes (!), all enable healing to happen at the soul level.
I appreciate waking up before the sun rises, going for satsang/prayer at 6:15am and the temple visit that gives a quiet sense of stillness within. I will miss the temple a lot — it’s my favourite place if I can name one!
I also enjoyed the simple meals here, especially tea time with the steamed Kerala banana! And idli, dosai, and many more... I enjoyed the cooking demonstrations too.
I also want to give my thanks & appreciation to Dr Suruchi who followed me on my 2nd day for a procedure on my left thumb due to an infection. She was right by my side at every moment! Thank you so much! ♡
I feel like I'm missing a few names of whom I would like to thank but I'm sure I will be back soon again and look forward to my next time already!
Pranams from a very full heart ♡
Best,

I was truly impressed by the level of detail and coordination Athira provided, which made my travel smooth and gave me the confidence to visit this Ayurveda centre. My first virtual consultation was with Dr Om Prakash, whose insights played a key role in my decision to choose this establishment for my treatment.
I was equally impressed with him and the dedicated team of doctors, including Dr. Ardent and Dr. Alphonse. All three doctors followed up with me regularly and patiently addressed all my questions, providing clear guidance throughout my treatment journey.
Within two weeks, I noticed a reduction in my glucose levels and learned valuable lifestyle disciplines, particularly around mindful eating and earlier sleep habits, which contributed to better overall health.
I deeply enjoyed the daily morning prayers with Dr Ramadas, as well as multiple satsangs conducted each day by the founder Dr Ramkumar and other vaidyas. These sessions offered profound insights that helped me apply holistic practices to improve my body, mind and spiritual wellbeing.
I am very much looking forward to returning for a longer stay and hope to bring my family with me on my next visit.

All good things come to an end, and already here alas is in that category. It’s been an eye-opening experience, not just about what I’ve learned about Ayurveda, which is far more than I could have imagined, but also about the village and the people who live and work here.
I have been treated with care and compassion across the board. Be it in the treatment room, or by the housekeeping staff or the administrative personnel. People could not have been nicer. Our medical team has been extremely responsive towards us. When adjustments were needed in medications or treatments, they were quickly and thoughtfully provided.
I ask a lot of questions. It is my nature as I am curious about this world we live in. Our doctors were patient and thorough in explaining concepts, procedures, medications and the like. Their knowledge is comprehensive and their wisdom readily shared.
I especially enjoyed the satsangs where various Ayurveda topics were explored and explained. In particular, the emphasis on the integration of body, mind and spirit and their role in healing was new to me. I am thankful that we found, learned and have been exposed to the philosophy it represents. Now the work begins on integrating this way of being in the world at home. I’ll do my best!
P.S. Hugs and kisses to Greshma, Anju and Bindu, our therapists, along with Bhagya, our housekeeper, who worked so hard on our behalf. And of course, our medical team Doctors. We would be lost without you. Special mention to Satish who Bob relied on so heavily.

Before arriving in VG, I had lots of doubts and anxieties, not knowing if I would ever overcome from my burn out. Once arriving here I have been taken into good care by Dr Ardent and Dr Alphonse.
I wasn’t expecting much and yet they somehow succeeded to make me overcome my mental issue. It is true that when you are surrounded by people who dedicate their time, expertise and human comfort, the process of healing becomes greater than what we expected.
I’m grateful to the doctors, the therapists and all the staff for taking good care of me.
With love,

To my team and all the wonderful supportive staff, my sincere thanks for the love and care at every step and in every aspect of my stay here. You all have created an amazing space for healing at all levels.
I came here needing to heal mentally, emotionally, bodily and spiritually from a very difficult year and there are no accidents that I ended up here. It has been the perfect place and provided me a framework for a healing journey in the months ahead.
For anyone healing from anything I would highly recommend Vaidyagrama as a place to do this. Their integrity and purity of purpose stand out as exemplary. Thank you so much for creating such an environment.

We warmly thank the doctors for their constant attention – Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Kavya & Dr. Arun. We also thank the whole team of the Illam 4 for the treatments, the cleaning and cooking and their work of quality.
Ingrid – I liked the morning ceremonies & prayers and the poojas – starting the day like that gave me the strength and balance to face what could have been difficult.
Pascale - Waking in the morning and being in the fresh morning air of the gardens seeing the mist being swallowed by the morning sun – Feeling more at ease in my body that I had for a very long time.
Ingrid - The smell of jasmine flowers in the evening, talking with other patients, the satsangs about Philosophy & Ayurveda.
Pascale - I liked to experiment day-by-day life with durable & washable utensils, living in a house built mainly with local earth, eating fruits & vegetables from the garden, in short, living in a sober and healthy environment.
Ingrid - I liked the prayer before the treatments, and the oil on the forehead.
Pascale - When I walked past people, nearly all the time seeing them smile.
Ingrid - I liked the mosquito nets, the fermented bread and the buttermilk, and how the doctors always reacted rapidly to solve pain or difficult situations.

This is my 10th annual visit in December for Panchakarma. I enjoy coming half-way around the world for a Holiday "Soak" in the Healing Atmosphere of Vaidygarama. I leave here as close to being with my Self as a harmonious integrated individual at all levels. A feeling as deeply secure in my Being. I enjoy the solitude I find as well as joyful interaction with many just steps from my room.
Dr. Ramkumar's Satsangs and morning talks with the Doctors are helpful and healing. Thanks to Dr. Ramadas always and for teaching me to find self and Be Happy. Thanks to the wonderful hands and hearts of the therapists and thanks for the many wondrous other patients that has been friendly and fun to be with and remember some for many years.

- Therapists
- Housekeeping team
- Priests
- Kitchen team
- Gardeners
- Front Desk
- Accounts team
My dearest Dr. Om Prakash — spiritually serene like a deer, energetic like an Energizer bunny, and filled with warmth and humour!
Dr. Anagha — graceful, gentle and an expert at enemas (hai!). Your calming presence made me feel completely at home and at ease. Thank you.
Nirmala — Being with someone who is also a mother like me and chatting about life was as rewarding as your massages and therapies. Thank you. Your calm maturity is deeply appreciated.
Kalpana — my dear fellow Tamilian, you have such firm and caring hands. Thank you for your wonderful massages and treatments.
To all my dear junior therapists…

I hope this is the first of many visits to this unique, wholesome and deeply caring, healing village. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I just completed 21 days at VG. When I came, I was unsure what to expect, but had heard many good things not only from friends, but also my wife who had come earlier in the year.
From day one, I loved the complete immersion into an authentic Ayurvedic experience. I was very impressed with the kindness, empathy, love that emanates from not only the doctors, but also the staff, cleanliness, support people. Such a culture of excellence is very hard to create and maintain. Deep respect for the Management.
21 days flew by. Every morning I looked forward to the chanting and Vishu Sahasranamam (especially by Dr Ramdas), and every evening the same for Lalita Sahasranamam. The spiritual foundation of the place resonated deeply with me.
A special shoutout to my doctors Dr. Prameela and Dr. Sreeji. Each in her own way has enriched my stay and given me tools I can take home.
I leave with fond memories and gratitude.

I intended to stay for two nights to accompany my partner. However, I became so curious about the treatments and practices that I ended up staying for over a week.
My time here has genuinely opened my eyes to a different approach to health, and I have never before encountered doctors who show such care and empathy for their patients. The doctors are teachers and guides who listen deeply to what the patient describes. In this regard I particularly give my gratitude to Dr Om Prakash, who has the most engaging manner.
I will leave Vaidyagrama thinking in a fresh way about how to care for my body.
All best wishes,

Vaidyagrama is not just a place, the entire area has soul energy of healing & echoing. I just am humbled, grateful for finding this in my life.
I wholeheartedly thank the admin staff, healing therapists, cooks, the food server, cleaners, doctors & everyone who give their 100% dedication & sacrifice for the well-being of millions every day. Your service is where God lives & I bow down with sincere thanks.
The evening prayers, the majestic voice of Dr Ramadas, the environment that creates positivity & healing. When the intention is pure, decisions are meaningful and the rest is Divine magic. Vaidyagrama is a living example of wisdom, grace, happiness, gratification & everything good in your path.
If I can be a little contributor to your success, I will keep on coming back here again & again.
God bless you all for healing. Let there be light in every soul. My sincere prayers!!
Om Nama Shivaya!
P.S - Dr. Prameela was caring, warm & took great care of me during my stay. Her understanding and knowledge about ayurveda was amazing. Wishing you the very best always. Thank you.
Dr Harikumar was soft, knowledgeable & kind!!
I have a few learnings from my short 6-day stay for future readers:
- Stay connected to your soul & body through good food. Your stomach is the first brain (gut).
- Ayurveda is a life-long journey. In a world where we want instant results, this practice teaches the value of time, discipline, patience.
- You are not you without the ecosystem. Everything and everyone are connected!!
- Enjoy the journey of life. This experience of Ayurveda & healing is an experience — a wisdom of ages, witnessed by your soul.

To all the sweet people of Vaidyagrama,
At first, I did not know what to expect from my visit to Vaidyagrama, but from the moment we arrived, it felt like an oasis of kindness and peace.
At Vaidyagrama, I met so many hardworking and loving people in one place — people with big hearts, doing everything within their power to make us feel comfortable and healthier. It was truly a unique experience that I will never forget.
I would like to thank everyone at Vaidyagrama who made us feel special. It truly felt like being at home.
Wishing all the best to you and your families!

It is always great to be here in VG, my second home, a place filled with positive vibes. The MD, the Medical Directors, senior doctors, senior therapists always extend so much care & warmth. I could also see a lot of young doctors and young therapists there also who treated me with respect. The doctors Kavya, Shreya and therapist Seema are exceptionally good. They took care of me as their own most. My experience with the entire team in VG, the management, medical and the support staff is very memorable as ever.
I always look forward to be here soon. Saying a bye, with all my prayers and wishes for VG to grow much bigger. Only love to all the VG team… Take care.

It has been a true blessing for me to discover Vaidyagrama and to find the time to receive treatment here from such exceptional doctors and their dedicated support team.
I sincerely thank each one of you for providing me with excellent and effective treatment. I am not mentioning any specific names for fear of unintentionally missing someone, as each and every one of you — from the doctors to all the support staff — did an outstanding job, always with a warm and welcoming smile. Thank you all once again. I look forward to visiting again sometime next year.

I never imagined that receiving treatment for issues that have been bothering me for a long time could be such a wonderful and positively memorable experience.
The environment, the support staff who took constant care of me while graciously accommodating my “extra” requests, and the doctors — all are truly amazing.
Although I have been listening to the Vishnu Sahasranama and Lalitha Sahasranama for over 30 years, it was here that I looked into the book more deeply and gained a better understanding.
The other residents — some of whom I can now call friends — were my saviours. In this short time, I met some truly wonderful people. This place is a perfect getaway for detoxification and healing. I feel truly blessed to have been a part of this community.
I can’t wait to come back again soon! Thank you once again, from the bottom of my heart, for the healing and the unforgettable experience.

To all in the VG Universe,
Taking an ancient healing system rooted in the Science of Nature and bringing it to life is no easy feat. It is one thing for a few individuals to believe in the idea, but for an entire gramam to believe in it and live it every single day requires divine intention. Vaidyagrama is truly blessed by the Supreme, and I sincerely hope those blessings continue for eternity.
It was not easy, and it required considerable convincing for me to fully commit to the program. However, on this final day, as I prepare to leave this place, I feel like a changed man. I leave with a renewed set of resolutions, deeply inspired by the ethos of this place and the learnings I received from the doctors, staff and the many friends I made here. This is what I will carry with me until I return again.
With all love and gratitude,
Yours truly,

Thank you for demonstrating your commitment every single day. Even with the occasional communication challenges, it has always been easy for me to trust you completely. Thank you for all the kindness, all the care, and for the many learning and inspiration.
With love and my best wishes to every one of you who makes this community a true family.

I came to Vaidyagrama for the first time and spent 23 days here in comfort and harmony. My physical and mental health improved significantly. I gained a lot of new knowledge about the principles and methods of Ayurveda, as well as experience in improving my quality of life.
I’m very grateful to Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Sreya, and all the doctors and staff of the clinic for the attention and care shown to me.
While preparing to travel to India for Ayurvedic treatment, I received two recommendations for Vaidyagrama from independent friends. Then I conducted research using AI and compared it with the top 10 clinics in and around Kerala, and realized that Vaidyagrama is the best clinic in terms of the combination of treatment quality and living conditions. Now that my treatment is complete, I understand that I made the right choice.
I have already started recommending the clinic to my friends and will come back here myself next time.
With best wishes,

Dear Good Souls of Vaidyagrama,
My wife and I thank every one of the Vaidyagrama family for the great experience you people have given us in the last 21 days.
First time we came across such dedicated medical professionals supported by a great team of people focussed on patient well-being & comfort. The stay was so enriching & soothing to the soul & body apart from the improvements to the overall health. The satsangs were very informative and engaging apart from the daily spiritual routines we had. The healing journey is very holistic with the right number of medicines, therapies, healthy conversations, spiritual poojas & a serene environment.
Special thanks to the team led by Dr. Ramadas, supported by Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Mojin, Dr. Suruchi and a great team of therapists Ms. Bindu, Ms. Bala, Ms. Aparna, Mr. Aneesh, Mr. Mithun, Mr. Libin & Mr. Ratheesh. Thanks to all the back-end members who helped us in this 21-day healing journey which is a great start for the years to come.
God bless you all with all the choicest blessings to help more & more people. Thank you all.

Thank you for your kind support.
Thanks to Dr. Vinod ji, Megha ji, Renjisha ji. Also thanks to the wonderful therapists – Anu chechi, Bindhu chechi, and others who helped. If I have missed any excellent staff or others, please forgive me. You are provided with advanced treatments, supply of medicines, through food with tabs here. The kitchen team kindly helped the Illam team. Also keeping many thanks to the laundry team for adding. The daily guest program was great.
The morning prayers and evening satsangs, though only about an hour, added great value. The Ayurvedic treatment provided a clear direction toward better health. I am truly grateful for this healing period. A big thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, day and night, to make the Ayurvedic Healing Village possible.

This is my 4th trip to VG and has become my yearly ritual. Dr. Harikumar, Dr. Ardent & Dr. Anupama patiently answered all my questions. They genuinely cared about my healing. The therapists were always smiling. Big thanks to therapists Kavitha, Vincy & Suranya. Housekeeping staff were smiling & professional as well.
One suggestion would be to increase numbers of therapists, because there were days when they were overwhelmed & so some mistakes were made.
Overall had a great experience and I will be back next year.

From Mitchel:
We have been wanting to come to India and do Panchakarma for years and we are so happy that we found Vaidyagrama. Already we are feeling positive health changes, and we have 3 months of home treatments to go. Special thanks to our special doctors, Dr Harikumar who taught us spiritually and medically, and to Dr Alphonse who was patient and kind with us and is a new friend. We enjoyed meeting the other patients and fully participated in VG’s poojas, satsangs and homam ceremonies. Much love and thanks to all who have demonstrated kindness and care to us. Namaste Vaidyagrama.
From Cathy:
For many years now I’ve had dreams of coming to India. In one dream I told my Bharatanatyam dance teacher the dream and she told me – that’s Kerala. Now in my 68th year I am actually here. This place is what my dream looked and felt like. I am so grateful to find this place. I never dreamed that the India of my dreams existed in present time. The village atmosphere and beauty of Nature cared for with eloquent touch, knowledge and love of this earth.
Something about the Vaidyagrama care/ treatments here that stand out to me –
Dr. Harikumar is the best Mind surgeon. He got exactly where I need to transform, reflected on this, consistently gave me guidance on how to move forward taking responsibility for my part.
Dr. Alphonse touched us with her knowledgeable care and by becoming closer to us like our family member. She listened and guided and allowed me to open my heart to her.
The therapists Princy, Sindhu, Gayathri and others too showed me how ayurveda, this ancient science exists through the hands that serve it. I felt their hands showing me how to receive Ayurveda. I thank all the staffs here, the doctors who gave Satsang, teach have helped so much.
With gratitude and wishes to return,
