Wow! Our journey has just started. It’s been wonderful. The day I reached here was exciting, as that day passed I felt multiple thoughts in mind. On the fourth day life bloomed & I started moving out from this place. On the 5th day we started enjoying our journey. I had come here for 21 days. I really want to come back for service.
I want to support Vaidyagrama team and what they call as family. Definitely one day I will be part of this family, not as a patient but as a volunteer. I am an architect and I practice mud construction. I believe mud breathes here, stone breathes, plants talk everywhere. Air is blue with fresh intention.
Let Siva and Narayana keep all working here & their families happy and healthy. Bless you for long life with joy. Thanks Dr. Vinod Sir and great thanks to Dr. Prameela. She was like mother to us.
With love,

I arrived exhausted and almost unable to walk. 4 weeks later I feel ready to cope with anything life must throw at me. I am looking forward now to a busy exciting future. Everyone at Vaidyagrama have been so kind and helpful to me. My doctors filled me with confidence and inspired me to keep trying to the last moment before I left. My therapists were brilliant, so thoughtful and kind. I felt so peaceful here almost as if I was the only person who mattered. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for giving me so much. You are all inspirational.

Dear Team, Thank you to the entire team for the care, calm & genuine kindness you create every day. This is my second time here (after Nov 1, 2024) and once again, I leave feeling there is a real “Before” and “After”. It’s a protected place – A space where healing, trust and balance is gently restored. Every smile, every moment of attention, every quiet gesture makes a difference.
What you offer goes far beyond treatment; It stays with us long after we leave. To the entire team (gardeners, helpers, receptionists, medical staff, doctors ……) Please know how deeply your work matters. Thank you for starting my year with such grace, humanity and heart.
P.S. As usual Dr Rose Rocks...

Dear Doctors & the entire staff of VG,
As always, I have had an outstanding visit here. This is my fourth stay here; first stay was in January 2015. The place has grown so much, yet still retains the same level of care. I love seeing the success of this place and meeting up with folks from previous visits. I always speak of this place with the greatest respect and gratitude. VG has helped renew this body over and over. Also, the mind is always calmer and my spirit joyful when I leave.
May you all be blessed beyond measure as you continue your good work here at VG.
Om Shanti! Shanti Shanti!

It is our first visit to Vaidyagrama, and hopefully many more will follow. It all happened thanks to two of our friends who insisted that if we were to go to an Ayurvedic Wellness Center, it had to be Vaidyagrama, and thanks to Aparna ji for accommodating us well in the last minute.
Vaidyagrama is a perfect symbiosis of spirituality, Nature, Ayurvedic healing, hospitality, happiness, kindness, service with a smile, and friendship with the people around. It is the holistic experience here which makes it a perfect place for rejuvenating, reflecting and learning about our own body and mind.
Our sincere thanks to Dr. Vinod ji and Dr. Sreeji for treating us with their love, knowledge and wisdom.
We also owe thanks to all the support staff, including the therapists, who made our stay so comfortable, friendly and enjoyable. Everyone always had a smile on his/her face.
Our morning experience at the prayer hall and at the temple for different homams was just the right way to start a peaceful, fulfilling day. Our gratitude to Shri Namboodiri ji and Rajnesh Vyas ji.
And lastly, Geetha ji, with her indomitable spirit and ever-smiling face, shared with us the future plans for Vaidyagrama and the good work it is doing for society while remaining in touch with Mother Nature.
And finally, to Ramkumar ji and all the Medical Directors, our sincere thanks and best wishes.

Wow! Super moon, poojas, massage, satsangs, prayers, healthy food and more— I’m from Alaska and spend a lot of time in Nature. We have clean air and clean water. I’m 81 years young and arrived with a lot of arthritis pain, neuropathy, knee injury and low energy. Now no pain — lots of energy & knee is healing. A foot massage every night has helped my neuropathy. Doctors are so kind and knowledgeable — therapists also kind and caring. Housekeeper brings me flowers and a smile each day.
Thank you for five amazing weeks.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
This is my 3rd visit here and my first one with my daughter, and as always it is a place of love, genuine care and great treatments. I love the integrity and passion with which everything is done here for patients and a holistic approach towards Nature and health, both physical and psychological.
I also love the food for the soul that I get here through Satsangs.
Thank you to my incredible team of therapists — Prema, Darshana and many others — and Dr. Suruchi and Dr. Kavya.
Dr. Ramadas, it’s always so healing to meet you and be under your care. Dr. Suruchi has been such a support along with you, and thank you to Dr. Ramkumar, Sujatha ji, Geetha ji and Aparna ji, Athira ji for their love. It keeps me connected to VG in more ways than treatment.
Thank you! Lots of love,

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
This was my first time coming here with my mom and I am so grateful to have found this place. I love the atmosphere and calm energy everyone has, the Nature, the simple food made lovingly, and all the spiritual energy here.
It has been so amazing to start the New Year here and I feel so loved and cared for. Thank you to my therapists — Karthika, Adityabala and others, along with Dr. Suruchi, Dr Kavya. Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Ramkumar offered me so much wisdom that I will carry forward with me this upcoming year and I am grateful to them and the entire team for creating a place full of so much love and healing.
I’m lucky to have found this place at 25, and hope to come back many times over the years.
Thank you so much. Lots of love,

Dear All,
This is our first Ayurveda experience, and we thank you all for your loving care you wrapped us in during these 21 days.
We felt very comfortable in this environment, and we loved our room. The combination of spirituality & healing practices, we find very appropriate.
We go home inspired and with a suitcase full of medication 😊 Our symptoms calmed down; our mind received a welcome rest. Slowing down for this time was a true gift & pleasure.
Concerning the morning prayer, I would love to see a little bit in development for those who are not so familiar with your culture.
A nice blend of chants, we could all learn & repeat & a bit of Pranayama would be very soothing, including a 5 min silence or suggested meditation practice. I missed a gentle yoga practice – I already thought/practised yoga.
I would also like therapists to work a bit less. How many days off do they have?
From Germany, wishing you continuous success in your wonderful tradition of healing.
Ayurveda love,

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
Thank you for an overall lovely, interesting experience over the last 20 days. I arrived with my dreams clogged and unclear; from my first night sleeping inside the entire conscious space, my dreams opened.
My physical ailment has not vanished as I had hoped upon my arrival, but I feel well at heart as I leave. Thankful for the daily warm smiles from the staff, birds, trees, ants and even geckos!
Lovely to smell the cones (really soothing) and to receive the cleansing smoke in the late afternoon, with the warm smiles from the cleaning staff.
Blessings to each one of you… the priests, the women cleaning the prayer rooms, people growing the food, the gardeners, the doctors, the therapists, admin team, the managers who were so kind, and Dr. Ram Anand who went out of his way to help on several occasions.
♡ Much love and appreciation. Thank you to the cows, the wind, the poojas, the continuous recharging of spirit.

Thank you to all the doctors (Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Suruchi, Dr. Megha, Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Mojin), the therapists, kitchen staff, laundry staff, as well as the people at the front office and reception, especially Aparna ji, for making my stay at Vaidyagrama comfortable.
A special cake was organized for me as I had celebrated my birthday during the 21 days I was here. That really made my day, and I was able to eat something sweet! It was a memorable birthday!
The therapists Kartika, Prema and Darshana as well as others took great care of me during the treatment. They were prompt in providing me with medicines and other things that supplemented my health. I appreciated it.
It was great to be in Nature and wake up to the sounds of the birds and animals. Truly a blissful experience!
Most importantly, I was able to achieve what I came here for — detoxification. Not only of the body but also the mind. I am feeling fresh and light with some inch and weight loss.
The food, even though simple, was delicious. I could feel/sense the love and care in which it was made. We did get bottle gourd every day for lunch, dinner and even breakfast at times, but the way in which it was prepared made it edible and lovely to eat.
The accommodation was great — top class. The rooms were kept neat and tidy. Cleaning was done every day and bedsheets were changed regularly. I even got a mosquito net put which was good since I am prone to mosquito bites and the housekeeping staff was happy to do it for me every day before bed.
Being at Vaidyagrama felt like home! It was a blissful experience overall. I loved the availability of the library too.
However, I have some suggestions:
Thank you once again to everyone! Hope to come again!

THANK YOU, Team Vaidyagrama and Team Dr Ramanandan, for taking good care of me and guiding me in the entire healing process.
I am feeling a greater sense of gratitude for the hospitality and kindness showered on me by one and all. I felt very safe under the care of Dr Ramanandan who has been very positive and confident about his assessment and treatment even from my first online consultation.
Thank you, Drs. I got motherly care from Dr Mojin, Dr Suruchi, Dr Renjisha and Dr Kavya during my entire treatment. Thank you.
The therapists are very dedicated, caring and always carry a genuine smile on their faces. Thank you, Aneesh, Midhun, Libin and Ratheesh, for your treatment & care.
I wondered how the food and medicines were delivered always on time with precision from 6 am to evening 5 pm. Such efficient and caring people and always with energy and enthusiasm. Thank you for taking care of my health Adityabala, Bindu, Chithra, Darshana and Aparna — you are awesome people!
Everyone from the gardener to housekeeping to administration to reception staff made me feel at home during the entire stay. Thank you!
Last but not least — the daily prayers by Dr Ramadas, Dr Om Prakash, Meditation & Satsang time with Dr Ramkumar and other doctors filled my mind with calmness & clarity.
Now to do justice to all your hard work and caring I promise that I will follow healthy practices.
One suggestion: Can you change the pseudo music being played for relaxation instead of just some music getting bored! 🙂
THANK YOU. SALUTATIONS.

Our sincere thanks to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Reuben, and Dr. Anagha for treating us. Our thanks also to all the staff who are very kind, helpful and professional—always patient, smiling and impressively hardworking.
This is our first visit to Vaidyagrama for a 21-day treatment. We are very positively impressed and hope/plan/expect to come once a year.
We submit a few suggestions and requests for improvement:
Handrails on the south side steps of Dhanwantari Temple and the south-west side steps of Vaidyesvaram.
Talk to Airtel and Jio and find a way to improve the cell phone signal. In this day and age, nothing can work without Wi-Fi and cell signal. We can’t even transfer payment to Vaidyagrama.
Event board in Cluster 5 not regularly updated.
Once again, sincere wholehearted thanks to everyone.

Thank you Vaidyagrama for bringing so much healing to the world. I had no idea before I came, how encompassing Vaidyagrama was, or how nurturing my visit would be.
Everyone was so gentle, healing, positive, wise and accepting. Special thanks to those that attended me most — Dr Ramadas, Dr Renjisha, gentle therapists Kavitha and Prema, and Dr. Ramkumar for his profound Satsangs.
Thank you Dr Ramadas, for sending Sanjeev to talk to me about cattle. So amazing what you are doing. Thank you to all the trees and birds that created an amazing sound field.
To the housekeepers, for the shining floors, long sweeping brooms and constant state of prayer.
Only India could have birthed such a place as this. I hope to see you again.

We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, food and the prayers. Also, the people we met here. Thanks to Adhaiva and other therapists for all their hard work and dedication.

I am glad to have made the decision to visit VG. I had heard about the treatments from friends who came here in the past.
For someone who did not have much idea about Ayurveda and Panchakarma, this visit has helped me a lot in understanding the basics and appreciating the caregivers.
The entire team, starting with Dr. Vinod, Dr. Anagha, Dr. Rahul and Dr. Vineesh, made me feel at ease from day 1 till the last day. The staff in the treatment room have been amazing—extremely caring. Thanks a lot to the staff in the kitchen as well.
This has been a unique experience for sure and an extremely well-maintained facility. Wishing the very best for VG.

To the lovely world of Vaidyagrama:
I face today, the day I leave to return to “home” in the Chicago area in the U.S., with very mixed emotions. I arrived at Vaidyagrama on December 30, for a 2-week panchakarma. Have I only been here 2 weeks? Simultaneously, I feel like I only just arrived here. So much of my perspective of the world and daily life and habits have changed irrevocably. I opted to try this “experiment” of Panchakarma to see what it would feel like to give my body space, space to just be fully present, without holding allegiance to the never-ending to-do list that comes with my life of late.
I haven’t experienced space in my life like this for several decades. That’s what I mean by “experiment”: I wholeheartedly understand (though still have tons to learn) the merits of ayurveda and panchakarma; what I did not have any clue of was how I would handle stepping away from my world for 2 weeks and prioritizing myself. That was the experiment and great mystery to me.
I came here with a body I’ve been pushing hard for several years, coming out of a manic episode this last year, skipping meals, with a hypervigilant nervous system. These last two weeks → to be looked after as a worthy, beautiful human being, accepted fully for who I am, for this soul that occupies This body, with toenails in danger of cutting my therapists (no cutting nails or hair during PK!) and chin hairs galore → NONE of that mattered here, except being human and cared for.
I have been touched more, as a mum tends to their child, than I have ever been touched during my two weeks here. Openly, without shame or embarrassment, and to be that open w/ other, to feel truly everyone had my best interests in mind → that, in and of itself, was worth the price of admission to this beautiful eco-friendly microcosm.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart to my doctors (Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Alphonse, as well as Dr. Mojin, Dr. Hima), to my phenomenal therapists (Prince, Sidhu), to the housekeepers who attended to every aspect of my room with such kindness and consideration. Thank you, Dr. Ramkumar for your Satsangs, and for establishing this place. Thank you to all the doctors leading informational sessions.
My treatment was exactly what I needed. I am already planning a return trip for summer 2028 where I can take Dr. Ramkumar’s advice and have as much rest time here as I have panchakarma. Two weeks’ time for this trip was too short; however, it will have far-reaching positive effects to how I show up in my world.
In the meantime, as I go through my days in the western world, I will smile often and my heart feel warmed, remembering and knowing that this beautiful, perfect world of Vaidyagrama exists. I may be going “home” today, but I also feel like I am leaving home.
I am so very grateful and feeling so fortunate and lucky to have been able to be here and be part of Vaidyagrama family for 2 weeks, with immersion and connection. I am so very grateful and feeling so fortunate and lucky to have been able to be here and be part of Vaidyagrama family for 2 weeks.

Vaidyagrama is truly a sukha bhumi supporting healing, health and happiness. This is how the traditional indigenous science and art of Ayurveda should be practiced.
I have been at many places, but none has embodied the fullness of Ayurveda chikitsa as it does here. The dharma is truly embodied in all, serving with such grace.
May you all continue and may all benefit from this beautiful river of love.

Our 15-day stay at Vaidyagrama Ayurvedic Healing Centre has been a truly meaningful and healing experience, and we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to each one of you.
The doctors were extremely considerate and attentive throughout our stay. Special thanks to Dr. Om Prakash, who was always kind, patient and thoughtful. He consistently took our situation into careful consideration, listened openly to feedback, and made adjustments with genuine concern. In fact, all the doctors were equally compassionate and regularly checked in to ensure everything was progressing well.
The therapists were wonderful—skilled, gentle and sincere in their work. Each therapy session was carried out with care and dedication, making the entire treatment process comfortable.
Thank you all for making our stay so positive and memorable. We will always carry this experience with gratitude.

A good rest and lovely people in a beautiful environment. I felt taken care of, well take care of. Sumathi the housekeeper was fabulous - always helpful and always positive. The person who worked on her days off & was equally gracious.
Sandhya was great and as a body characteristic, she was sensitive and caring and knowledgeable. It feels comfortable in her care. Lakshmi is a master at what she does; she is sensitive and knows exactly what each patient needs, and is ready to help whenever they can.
The medical team is knowledgeable and interesting to talk to and get into discussion. Dr Ramkumar is great. Dr Prameela was quite attentive, caring and always gives time .When needed for clarification she provided – helpful, structural information was there in her presentation as well.
I enjoyed the diverse ceremony, talks and other activities the option to engage or stay in one healing sound was much appreciated by me.
I wish you much success in your journey. I will return to learn and feel more.

It’s hard to sum up our experience here in a paragraph. To be held in such care, divinity with incredible therapists and to give all your trust to our amazing doctors was such a gift and something I will never forget, Sitting peacefully surrounded by Nature, away from the crazy world, was so grounding.
Every single person, from laundry to doctors and all who make this Deva Loka what it is, was all heart. Simple people will make you feel good and support your feeling is what I learnt.
Thank you so much!

This was my first visit to Vaidyagrama. I knew from the day I walked in then that I would not be bad again. I am so grateful to all the people of Vaidyagrama from the doctors, the therapists, cooks, staff for the incredible care and attention I have received.
Dr Vinod, Dr Sajna were always there to calm me down when my symptom flared. The entire team of therapists are so wonderful & are so attentive. It's quiet an experience to be taken care of like that. There is a beautiful peaceful energy in Vaidyagrama. That is hard to describe and I will miss it. Thank you so much for being a part of my healing journey.
I will definitely be back.

I’m deeply grateful to all here for the deep well of love – coming from the heart and the open positivity. I felt listened to & noticed that so many people just wanted me to be happy.
This time I felt especially supported by Nature – the peacocks walking by my room, the amazing birds and the concerts they provided every day, the golden light at 4:30 that created such a peaceful shimmer. There was a thread, a vibration of silence running through it all… so that the day & night merged into the same heartbeat.
I hope I can carry this energy & share that silent, full vibration with all I meet.

Dearest VG,
There are many reasons why I come each year, but if I start writing it all down, it’ll take forever, so let me just share what touches me the most about VG.
The love and sincerity with which every single person works here. That is so special. The kindness and love in my therapists’ hands, their thoughtfulness, their watchfulness of my every need during treatment… the housekeeping staff, the IT guys, reception, maintenance — you name it. And of course, all amazing doctors :)
There are many Ayurveda places in India, but this is heart intact. It’s love and you can see it — in every interaction, in the gorgeous landscape, in the whole place. This isn’t a commercial energy at all, but about genuine healing and care.
May you live long, VG!
Affectionately,

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
My first ever experience filled my heart with so much gratitude & love with each one of you. From caring doc like Sreeji & Mojin to therapists Bindu, Bala, Aparna, their dedication and care have really made my stay most memorable. Their everyday voice “Excuse me Susmita ji” will remind me of all the laughter we shared.
Although I didn’t spend a lot of time here, but in such a short time, they reminded me once again that most of the healing happens where you are happy and closest to Nature. Rotation doctors were all so humble and caring too. Not to forget housekeeping staff, laundry staff, orientation guide Sooraj ji – all so soft spoken and humble.
All the activities in Mandapam and daily pooja, how will I forget Ramkumar ji, Ramdas ji and team – you pulled off something which only we can think of to make this earth a better place. I must also tell you that Vaidyagrama gave me the opportunity to finish two books as well. Going with my heart full and desire to come back with more family soon.
Lots of wishes for your other ventures. Hope to see you all soon.

Spirit × Mind × Body
The correct BALANCE is the key!...in which your consciousness and awareness are awakened. Vaidyagrama is just that; a place where all live in harmony with respect for all and inclusiveness with all.
There are a few “mottos” that inspired me: living in harmony with all the animals — stating that “we” are the ones who have come to settle in their habitat — and with respect + gratitude the prayers and attitude with which the development is planned is commendable.
My sincere wish to Vaidyagrama to continue on this “mahan” path, the “VG” family successfully build the pure healing village that is envisioned.
With the blessings of the Divine, this will be a reality more than soon.
Pranams 🙏
#Spirit ~ talks, lectures on Ayurvedic knowledge
Mind ~ prayers, mantra chanting, poojas, festival celebrations, cooking classes, garden walks, Bhajan sessions, dance & togetherness
Mind ~ sitting in silence, focus
Body ~ invigorated, listen to the birds, Prana so pure!
Treatments advised by such caring doctors with such personal attention. The therapists all so kind and warm and understanding to our needs.
Allowing Mother Nature to rejuvenate our lives through AYURVEDA!
It was a wonderful month! passed in no time, feel rejuvenated!

To all Vaidyagrama staff,
There are no words to express our gratitude for this experience. More than our healing experience, we are grateful for this Vision of having this amazing place for the help of people, animals, environment – to be the light for so many people searching for well-being.
Thanks for bringing the teachings and practices of Ayurveda in a pure and authentic way.
Thank you for all the loving care and guidance, for all the support in difficult moments.
Thanks for being a harmonious team with positive and humble service, that makes a big difference in our healing process.
Now we feel that we are part of this beautiful family.
Sad to leave, but maybe for a short time because certainly we would love to be back.
May God bless this place and all the members to continue the amazing work.
Om Shanti

Everything here felt just right. Treatments were gentle, food was simple. The only thing I would change is my length of stay. I look forward to being able to stay one whole moon cycle, maybe next year.
The 10 days I received were fantastic. I felt at home & I relished every moment. I feel that being here was answering a Divine call for me to experience a deeper awareness of my body, subtle body and divine purpose of this life.
Filled with warm gratitude & tears of joy & Devotion,
Thank You, Dr Ramadas!

Thank you Vaidyagrama for the rest and restoration found here. You have been a safe and welcoming respite after an exciting and intense introduction to India.
The doctors, staff and therapists all provided warmth, sincere smiles and a genuine interest in my well-being. I am grateful for the care and protocol provided by Dr Ramanandan and Dr Rose, who both proved to be true listeners with great patience to match their knowledge and experience. I was heard and my needs well-incorporated into the treatment process and into how my time at Vaidyagrama was managed.
My therapists Shyni – who always had smiles, noticed how I was during treatments and seemed truly happy in their work, I say thank you and want you to know how much you are appreciated.
To those who tend the farm, the animals, the grounds and the residences – thank you for all you bring to each meal, each day’s journey and each night’s rest.
And to those who keep the wheels turning, the accounts on track and the health of Vaidyagrama intact and available – your work is acknowledged and appreciated.
I enjoyed the satsangs, meditations, poojas and daily prayers.
I will miss the nurturing environment, human connection, service and look forward to another opportunity to experience it again.
With gratitude and appreciation,

I would like to express my heart felt gratitude to the entire team of Vaidyagrama, for the exceptional care and healing I received during my treatment. But true care that is clearly rooted in knowledge tradition and compassion. What stood out most was the holistic approach that treated not only the condition but me as a whole. These 26 days here has been transformative for me at a physical, mental and spiritual level. For this I am truly grateful.
Thank you for the care, patients and commitment to healing. Thank you

Thanks, whole team of Vaidyagrama.
I feel gratitude from the depth of my heart for this Vaidyagrama.
From my pickup from the airport to these 16 days here have given me time to spend with my own self and enjoy the pampering of all the doctors and therapists and kitchen team.
Dr. Kavya held my hand to let me start my journey smoothly to heal my issues.
Dr. Ramadas is a gem to discuss and get solutions to my problems.
Dr. Prameela and Dr. Anjana had a smile while listening to my complaints too. Dr. Anjana’s smile is so so much joy to see. My therapists Addaiva, Sandhya treat me to their best. They are both full of energy and focussed on treatment. Addaiva is growing to be very good massage therapist as I noticed her work on me. Sandhya has knowledge and experience. Lakshmi also I need to mention is a very senior therapist and it’s shown in her work also. This was my first visit and I already felt at home with all facilities and admin team is excellent too.

Wow! Our journey has just started. It’s been wonderful. The day I reached here was exciting, as that day passed I felt multiple thoughts in mind. On the fourth day life bloomed & I started moving out from this place. On the 5th day we started enjoying our journey. I had come here for 21 days. I really want to come back for service.
I want to support Vaidyagrama team and what they call as family. Definitely one day I will be part of this family, not as a patient but as a volunteer. I am an architect and I practice mud construction. I believe mud breathes here, stone breathes, plants talk everywhere. Air is blue with fresh intention.
Let Siva and Narayana keep all working here & their families happy and healthy. Bless you for long life with joy. Thanks Dr. Vinod Sir and great thanks to Dr. Prameela. She was like mother to us.

I arrived exhausted and almost unable to walk. 4 weeks later I feel ready to cope with anything life must throw at me. I am looking forward now to a busy exciting future. Everyone at Vaidyagrama have been so kind and helpful to me. My doctors filled me with confidence and inspired me to keep trying to the last moment before I left. My therapists were brilliant, so thoughtful and kind. I felt so peaceful here almost as if I was the only person who mattered. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for giving me so much. You are all inspirational.

Dear Team, Thank you to the entire team for the care, calm & genuine kindness you create every day. This is my second time here (after Nov 1, 2024) and once again, I leave feeling there is a real “Before” and “After”. It’s a protected place – A space where healing, trust and balance is gently restored. Every smile, every moment of attention, every quiet gesture makes a difference.
What you offer goes far beyond treatment; It stays with us long after we leave. To the entire team (gardeners, helpers, receptionists, medical staff, doctors ……) Please know how deeply your work matters. Thank you for starting my year with such grace, humanity and heart.
P.S. As usual Dr Rose Rocks...

Dear Doctors & the entire staff of VG,
As always, I have had an outstanding visit here. This is my fourth stay here; first stay was in January 2015. The place has grown so much, yet still retains the same level of care. I love seeing the success of this place and meeting up with folks from previous visits. I always speak of this place with the greatest respect and gratitude. VG has helped renew this body over and over. Also, the mind is always calmer and my spirit joyful when I leave.
May you all be blessed beyond measure as you continue your good work here at VG.
Om Shanti! Shanti Shanti!

I came to Vaidyagrama without any pre-conceived notions about treatments. I did not have a target in my mind other than cleansing my body at 50. It has been an amazing experience because it…
- Helped me slow down (mental relief)
- Helped my body (physical fitness and massage)
- Helped my body internally
- Helped me in building New Life practices
- Helped me lift spiritually
- Helped me in expanding my Vision
- Helped me make new friends
- Helped me in understanding alternative medicine better
- Helped me relax completely

It is our first visit to Vaidyagrama, and hopefully many more will follow. It all happened thanks to two of our friends who insisted that if we were to go to an Ayurvedic Wellness Center, it had to be Vaidyagrama, and thanks to Aparna ji for accommodating us well in the last minute.
Vaidyagrama is a perfect symbiosis of spirituality, Nature, Ayurvedic healing, hospitality, happiness, kindness, service with a smile, and friendship with the people around. It is the holistic experience here which makes it a perfect place for rejuvenating, reflecting and learning about our own body and mind.
Our sincere thanks to Dr. Vinod ji and Dr. Sreeji for treating us with their love, knowledge and wisdom.
We also owe thanks to all the support staff, including the therapists, who made our stay so comfortable, friendly and enjoyable. Everyone always had a smile on his/her face.
Our morning experience at the prayer hall and at the temple for different homams was just the right way to start a peaceful, fulfilling day. Our gratitude to Shri Namboodiri ji and Rajnesh Vyas ji.
And lastly, Geetha ji, with her indomitable spirit and ever-smiling face, shared with us the future plans for Vaidyagrama and the good work it is doing for society while remaining in touch with Mother Nature.
And finally, to Ramkumar ji and all the Medical Directors, our sincere thanks and best wishes.

Wow! Super moon, poojas, massage, satsangs, prayers, healthy food and more— I’m from Alaska and spend a lot of time in Nature. We have clean air and clean water. I’m 81 years young and arrived with a lot of arthritis pain, neuropathy, knee injury and low energy. Now no pain — lots of energy & knee is healing. A foot massage every night has helped my neuropathy. Doctors are so kind and knowledgeable — therapists also kind and caring. Housekeeper brings me flowers and a smile each day.
Thank you for five amazing weeks.

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
This is my 3rd visit here and my first one with my daughter, and as always it is a place of love, genuine care and great treatments. I love the integrity and passion with which everything is done here for patients and a holistic approach towards Nature and health, both physical and psychological.
I also love the food for the soul that I get here through Satsangs.
Thank you to my incredible team of therapists — Prema, Darshana and many others — and Dr. Suruchi and Dr. Kavya.
Dr. Ramadas, it’s always so healing to meet you and be under your care. Dr. Suruchi has been such a support along with you, and thank you to Dr. Ramkumar, Sujatha ji, Geetha ji and Aparna ji, Athira ji for their love. It keeps me connected to VG in more ways than treatment.
Thank you! Lots of love,

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
This was my first time coming here with my mom and I am so grateful to have found this place. I love the atmosphere and calm energy everyone has, the Nature, the simple food made lovingly, and all the spiritual energy here.
It has been so amazing to start the New Year here and I feel so loved and cared for. Thank you to my therapists — Karthika, Adityabala and others, along with Dr. Suruchi, Dr Kavya. Dr. Ramadas and Dr. Ramkumar offered me so much wisdom that I will carry forward with me this upcoming year and I am grateful to them and the entire team for creating a place full of so much love and healing.
I’m lucky to have found this place at 25, and hope to come back many times over the years.
Thank you so much. Lots of love,

Dear All,
This is our first Ayurveda experience, and we thank you all for your loving care you wrapped us in during these 21 days.
We felt very comfortable in this environment, and we loved our room. The combination of spirituality & healing practices, we find very appropriate.
We go home inspired and with a suitcase full of medication 😊 Our symptoms calmed down; our mind received a welcome rest. Slowing down for this time was a true gift & pleasure.
Concerning the morning prayer, I would love to see a little bit in development for those who are not so familiar with your culture.
A nice blend of chants, we could all learn & repeat & a bit of Pranayama would be very soothing, including a 5 min silence or suggested meditation practice. I missed a gentle yoga practice – I already thought/practised yoga.
I would also like therapists to work a bit less. How many days off do they have?
From Germany, wishing you continuous success in your wonderful tradition of healing.
Ayurveda love,

Dear Vaidyagrama Family,
Thank you for an overall lovely, interesting experience over the last 20 days. I arrived with my dreams clogged and unclear; from my first night sleeping inside the entire conscious space, my dreams opened.
My physical ailment has not vanished as I had hoped upon my arrival, but I feel well at heart as I leave. Thankful for the daily warm smiles from the staff, birds, trees, ants and even geckos!
Lovely to smell the cones (really soothing) and to receive the cleansing smoke in the late afternoon, with the warm smiles from the cleaning staff.
Blessings to each one of you… the priests, the women cleaning the prayer rooms, people growing the food, the gardeners, the doctors, the therapists, admin team, the managers who were so kind, and Dr. Ram Anand who went out of his way to help on several occasions.
♡ Much love and appreciation. Thank you to the cows, the wind, the poojas, the continuous recharging of spirit.

Thank you to all the doctors (Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Suruchi, Dr. Megha, Dr. Renjisha, Dr. Mojin), the therapists, kitchen staff, laundry staff, as well as the people at the front office and reception, especially Aparna ji, for making my stay at Vaidyagrama comfortable.
A special cake was organized for me as I had celebrated my birthday during the 21 days I was here. That really made my day, and I was able to eat something sweet! It was a memorable birthday!
The therapists Kartika, Prema and Darshana as well as others took great care of me during the treatment. They were prompt in providing me with medicines and other things that supplemented my health. I appreciated it.
It was great to be in Nature and wake up to the sounds of the birds and animals. Truly a blissful experience!
Most importantly, I was able to achieve what I came here for — detoxification. Not only of the body but also the mind. I am feeling fresh and light with some inch and weight loss.
The food, even though simple, was delicious. I could feel/sense the love and care in which it was made. We did get bottle gourd every day for lunch, dinner and even breakfast at times, but the way in which it was prepared made it edible and lovely to eat.
The accommodation was great — top class. The rooms were kept neat and tidy. Cleaning was done every day and bedsheets were changed regularly. I even got a mosquito net put which was good since I am prone to mosquito bites and the housekeeping staff was happy to do it for me every day before bed.
Being at Vaidyagrama felt like home! It was a blissful experience overall. I loved the availability of the library too.
However, I have some suggestions:
- There should be mosquito repellents kept in the treatment rooms so that the patients are not bitten.
- Some “Silence Please” signs can be displayed outside the room or people told verbally not to make noise or talk softly since at Vaidyagrama — it is a healing place and silence is important. There were many patients and some staff talking loudly outside my room at night which disturbed me.
- I loved the prayer in the morning and evening but just wished that there would be some prayers to be read along the chants. Yes, they were given as QR code to scan, but due to lack of network it was hard to access it and download.
Thank you once again to everyone! Hope to come again!
Best wishes & regards,

THANK YOU, Team Vaidyagrama and Team Dr Ramanandan, for taking good care of me and guiding me in the entire healing process.
I am feeling a greater sense of gratitude for the hospitality and kindness showered on me by one and all. I felt very safe under the care of Dr Ramanandan who has been very positive and confident about his assessment and treatment even from my first online consultation.
Thank you, Drs. I got motherly care from Dr Mojin, Dr Suruchi, Dr Renjisha and Dr Kavya during my entire treatment. Thank you.
The therapists are very dedicated, caring and always carry a genuine smile on their faces. Thank you, Aneesh, Midhun, Libin and Ratheesh, for your treatment & care.
I wondered how the food and medicines were delivered always on time with precision from 6 am to evening 5 pm. Such efficient and caring people and always with energy and enthusiasm. Thank you for taking care of my health Adityabala, Bindu, Chithra, Darshana and Aparna — you are awesome people!
Everyone from the gardener to housekeeping to administration to reception staff made me feel at home during the entire stay. Thank you!
Last but not least — the daily prayers by Dr Ramadas, Dr Om Prakash, Meditation & Satsang time with Dr Ramkumar and other doctors filled my mind with calmness & clarity.
Now to do justice to all your hard work and caring I promise that I will follow healthy practices.
One suggestion: Can you change the pseudo music being played for relaxation instead of just some music getting bored! 🙂
THANK YOU. SALUTATIONS.

Our sincere thanks to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Reuben, and Dr. Anagha for treating us. Our thanks also to all the staff who are very kind, helpful and professional—always patient, smiling and impressively hardworking.
This is our first visit to Vaidyagrama for a 21-day treatment. We are very positively impressed and hope/plan/expect to come once a year.
We submit a few suggestions and requests for improvement:
Handrails on the south side steps of Dhanwantari Temple and the south-west side steps of Vaidyesvaram.
Talk to Airtel and Jio and find a way to improve the cell phone signal. In this day and age, nothing can work without Wi-Fi and cell signal. We can’t even transfer payment to Vaidyagrama.
Event board in Cluster 5 not regularly updated.
Once again, sincere wholehearted thanks to everyone.

Thank you Vaidyagrama for bringing so much healing to the world. I had no idea before I came, how encompassing Vaidyagrama was, or how nurturing my visit would be.
Everyone was so gentle, healing, positive, wise and accepting. Special thanks to those that attended me most — Dr Ramadas, Dr Renjisha, gentle therapists Kavitha and Prema, and Dr. Ramkumar for his profound Satsangs.
Thank you Dr Ramadas, for sending Sanjeev to talk to me about cattle. So amazing what you are doing. Thank you to all the trees and birds that created an amazing sound field.
To the housekeepers, for the shining floors, long sweeping brooms and constant state of prayer.
Only India could have birthed such a place as this. I hope to see you again.

I am glad to have made the decision to visit VG. I had heard about the treatments from friends who came here in the past.
For someone who did not have much idea about Ayurveda and Panchakarma, this visit has helped me a lot in understanding the basics and appreciating the caregivers.
The entire team, starting with Dr. Vinod, Dr. Anagha, Dr. Rahul and Dr. Vineesh, made me feel at ease from day 1 till the last day. The staff in the treatment room have been amazing—extremely caring. Thanks a lot to the staff in the kitchen as well.
This has been a unique experience for sure and an extremely well-maintained facility. Wishing the very best for VG.

To the lovely world of Vaidyagrama:
I face today, the day I leave to return to “home” in the Chicago area in the U.S., with very mixed emotions. I arrived at Vaidyagrama on December 30, for a 2-week panchakarma. Have I only been here 2 weeks? Simultaneously, I feel like I only just arrived here. So much of my perspective of the world and daily life and habits have changed irrevocably. I opted to try this “experiment” of Panchakarma to see what it would feel like to give my body space, space to just be fully present, without holding allegiance to the never-ending to-do list that comes with my life of late.
I haven’t experienced space in my life like this for several decades. That’s what I mean by “experiment”: I wholeheartedly understand (though still have tons to learn) the merits of ayurveda and panchakarma; what I did not have any clue of was how I would handle stepping away from my world for 2 weeks and prioritizing myself. That was the experiment and great mystery to me.
I came here with a body I’ve been pushing hard for several years, coming out of a manic episode this last year, skipping meals, with a hypervigilant nervous system. These last two weeks → to be looked after as a worthy, beautiful human being, accepted fully for who I am, for this soul that occupies This body, with toenails in danger of cutting my therapists (no cutting nails or hair during PK!) and chin hairs galore → NONE of that mattered here, except being human and cared for.
I have been touched more, as a mum tends to their child, than I have ever been touched during my two weeks here. Openly, without shame or embarrassment, and to be that open w/ other, to feel truly everyone had my best interests in mind → that, in and of itself, was worth the price of admission to this beautiful eco-friendly microcosm.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart to my doctors (Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Alphonse, as well as Dr. Mojin, Dr. Hima), to my phenomenal therapists (Prince, Sidhu), to the housekeepers who attended to every aspect of my room with such kindness and consideration. Thank you, Dr. Ramkumar for your Satsangs, and for establishing this place. Thank you to all the doctors leading informational sessions.
My treatment was exactly what I needed. I am already planning a return trip for summer 2028 where I can take Dr. Ramkumar’s advice and have as much rest time here as I have panchakarma. Two weeks’ time for this trip was too short; however, it will have far-reaching positive effects to how I show up in my world.
In the meantime, as I go through my days in the western world, I will smile often and my heart feel warmed, remembering and knowing that this beautiful, perfect world of Vaidyagrama exists. I may be going “home” today, but I also feel like I am leaving home.
I am so very grateful and feeling so fortunate and lucky to have been able to be here and be part of Vaidyagrama family for 2 weeks, with immersion and connection. I am so very grateful and feeling so fortunate and lucky to have been able to be here and be part of Vaidyagrama family for 2 weeks.

Vaidyagrama is truly a sukha bhumi supporting healing, health and happiness. This is how the traditional indigenous science and art of Ayurveda should be practiced.
I have been at many places, but none has embodied the fullness of Ayurveda chikitsa as it does here. The dharma is truly embodied in all, serving with such grace.
May you all continue and may all benefit from this beautiful river of love.

Our 15-day stay at Vaidyagrama Ayurvedic Healing Centre has been a truly meaningful and healing experience, and we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to each one of you.
The doctors were extremely considerate and attentive throughout our stay. Special thanks to Dr. Om Prakash, who was always kind, patient and thoughtful. He consistently took our situation into careful consideration, listened openly to feedback, and made adjustments with genuine concern. In fact, all the doctors were equally compassionate and regularly checked in to ensure everything was progressing well.
The therapists were wonderful—skilled, gentle and sincere in their work. Each therapy session was carried out with care and dedication, making the entire treatment process comfortable.
Thank you all for making our stay so positive and memorable. We will always carry this experience with gratitude.

A good rest and lovely people in a beautiful environment. I felt taken care of, well take care of. Sumathi the housekeeper was fabulous - always helpful and always positive. The person who worked on her days off & was equally gracious.
Sandhya was great and as a body characteristic, she was sensitive and caring and knowledgeable. It feels comfortable in her care. Lakshmi is a master at what she does; she is sensitive and knows exactly what each patient needs, and is ready to help whenever they can.
The medical team is knowledgeable and interesting to talk to and get into discussion. Dr Ramkumar is great. Dr Prameela was quite attentive, caring and always gives time .When needed for clarification she provided – helpful, structural information was there in her presentation as well.
I enjoyed the diverse ceremony, talks and other activities the option to engage or stay in one healing sound was much appreciated by me.
I wish you much success in your journey. I will return to learn and feel more.

It’s hard to sum up our experience here in a paragraph. To be held in such care, divinity with incredible therapists and to give all your trust to our amazing doctors was such a gift and something I will never forget, Sitting peacefully surrounded by Nature, away from the crazy world, was so grounding.
Every single person, from laundry to doctors and all who make this Deva Loka what it is, was all heart. Simple people will make you feel good and support your feeling is what I learnt.
Thank you so much!

This was my first visit to Vaidyagrama. I knew from the day I walked in then that I would not be bad again. I am so grateful to all the people of Vaidyagrama from the doctors, the therapists, cooks, staff for the incredible care and attention I have received.
Dr Vinod, Dr Sajna were always there to calm me down when my symptom flared. The entire team of therapists are so wonderful & are so attentive. It's quiet an experience to be taken care of like that. There is a beautiful peaceful energy in Vaidyagrama. That is hard to describe and I will miss it. Thank you so much for being a part of my healing journey.
I will definitely be back.

I’m deeply grateful to all here for the deep well of love – coming from the heart and the open positivity. I felt listened to & noticed that so many people just wanted me to be happy.
This time I felt especially supported by Nature – the peacocks walking by my room, the amazing birds and the concerts they provided every day, the golden light at 4:30 that created such a peaceful shimmer. There was a thread, a vibration of silence running through it all… so that the day & night merged into the same heartbeat.
I hope I can carry this energy & share that silent, full vibration with all I meet.

Dearest VG,
There are many reasons why I come each year, but if I start writing it all down, it’ll take forever, so let me just share what touches me the most about VG.
The love and sincerity with which every single person works here. That is so special. The kindness and love in my therapists’ hands, their thoughtfulness, their watchfulness of my every need during treatment… the housekeeping staff, the IT guys, reception, maintenance — you name it. And of course, all amazing doctors :)
There are many Ayurveda places in India, but this is heart intact. It’s love and you can see it — in every interaction, in the gorgeous landscape, in the whole place. This isn’t a commercial energy at all, but about genuine healing and care.
May you live long, VG!

Dear Vaidyagrama family,
My first ever experience filled my heart with so much gratitude & love with each one of you. From caring doc like Sreeji & Mojin to therapists Bindu, Bala, Aparna, their dedication and care have really made my stay most memorable. Their everyday voice “Excuse me Susmita ji” will remind me of all the laughter we shared.
Although I didn’t spend a lot of time here, but in such a short time, they reminded me once again that most of the healing happens where you are happy and closest to Nature. Rotation doctors were all so humble and caring too. Not to forget housekeeping staff, laundry staff, orientation guide Sooraj ji – all so soft spoken and humble.
All the activities in Mandapam and daily pooja, how will I forget Ramkumar ji, Ramdas ji and team – you pulled off something which only we can think of to make this earth a better place. I must also tell you that Vaidyagrama gave me the opportunity to finish two books as well. Going with my heart full and desire to come back with more family soon.
Lots of wishes for your other ventures. Hope to see you all soon.

Spirit × Mind × Body
The correct BALANCE is the key!...in which your consciousness and awareness are awakened. Vaidyagrama is just that; a place where all live in harmony with respect for all and inclusiveness with all.
There are a few “mottos” that inspired me: living in harmony with all the animals — stating that “we” are the ones who have come to settle in their habitat — and with respect + gratitude the prayers and attitude with which the development is planned is commendable.
My sincere wish to Vaidyagrama to continue on this “mahan” path, the “VG” family successfully build the pure healing village that is envisioned.
With the blessings of the Divine, this will be a reality more than soon.
Pranams 🙏
#Spirit ~ talks, lectures on Ayurvedic knowledge
Mind ~ prayers, mantra chanting, poojas, festival celebrations, cooking classes, garden walks, Bhajan sessions, dance & togetherness
Mind ~ sitting in silence, focus
Body ~ invigorated, listen to the birds, Prana so pure!
Treatments advised by such caring doctors with such personal attention. The therapists all so kind and warm and understanding to our needs.
Allowing Mother Nature to rejuvenate our lives through AYURVEDA!
It was a wonderful month! passed in no time, feel rejuvenated!

To all Vaidyagrama staff,
There are no words to express our gratitude for this experience. More than our healing experience, we are grateful for this Vision of having this amazing place for the help of people, animals, environment – to be the light for so many people searching for well-being.
Thanks for bringing the teachings and practices of Ayurveda in a pure and authentic way.
Thank you for all the loving care and guidance, for all the support in difficult moments.
Thanks for being a harmonious team with positive and humble service, that makes a big difference in our healing process.
Now we feel that we are part of this beautiful family.
Sad to leave, but maybe for a short time because certainly we would love to be back.
May God bless this place and all the members to continue the amazing work.
Om Shanti
Love you always,

#Finally, there is a place where Ayurveda lives! Vaidyagrama!!!
The details – authenticity – in every way, from the staff, therapists, doctors, it has been a wonderful experience. Nature allowed to live in peace, not much interference from the gardeners – where would one find a place like this in today’s world?
Magical how it has all come together. Thank you Vaidyagrama for these wonderful
rejuvenating 14 days.

Dear Ayurveda Family & Community,
This is my 3rd time in Vaidyagrama for Panchakarma treatment and I’m leaving filled with love and gratitude.
The treatments, prayers, poojas, Satsangs, Nature are nourishment for mind, body and spiritual growth.
Everyone here did an excellent job and always with a smile on their faces, which also contributes to the healing process.
Special thanks to Dr. Ramadas and his team. Vaidyagrama is a divine place.
Thank you so much!

Everything here felt just right. Treatments were gentle, food was simple. The only thing I would change is my length of stay. I look forward to being able to stay one whole moon cycle, maybe next year.
The 10 days I received were fantastic. I felt at home & I relished every moment. I feel that being here was answering a Divine call for me to experience a deeper awareness of my body, subtle body and divine purpose of this life.
Filled with warm gratitude & tears of joy & Devotion,
Thank You, Dr Ramadas!

Thank you Vaidyagrama for the rest and restoration found here. You have been a safe and welcoming respite after an exciting and intense introduction to India.
The doctors, staff and therapists all provided warmth, sincere smiles and a genuine interest in my well-being. I am grateful for the care and protocol provided by Dr Ramanandan and Dr Rose, who both proved to be true listeners with great patience to match their knowledge and experience. I was heard and my needs well-incorporated into the treatment process and into how my time at Vaidyagrama was managed.
My therapists Shyni – who always had smiles, noticed how I was during treatments and seemed truly happy in their work, I say thank you and want you to know how much you are appreciated.
To those who tend the farm, the animals, the grounds and the residences – thank you for all you bring to each meal, each day’s journey and each night’s rest.
And to those who keep the wheels turning, the accounts on track and the health of Vaidyagrama intact and available – your work is acknowledged and appreciated.
I enjoyed the satsangs, meditations, poojas and daily prayers.
I will miss the nurturing environment, human connection, service and look forward to another opportunity to experience it again.
With gratitude and appreciation,

I would like to express my heart felt gratitude to the entire team of Vaidyagrama, for the exceptional care and healing I received during my treatment. But true care that is clearly rooted in knowledge tradition and compassion. What stood out most was the holistic approach that treated not only the condition but me as a whole. These 26 days here has been transformative for me at a physical, mental and spiritual level. For this I am truly grateful.
Thank you for the care, patients and commitment to healing. Thank you

Thanks, whole team of Vaidyagrama.
I feel gratitude from the depth of my heart for this Vaidyagrama.
From my pickup from the airport to these 16 days here have given me time to spend with my own self and enjoy the pampering of all the doctors and therapists and kitchen team.
Dr. Kavya held my hand to let me start my journey smoothly to heal my issues.
Dr. Ramadas is a gem to discuss and get solutions to my problems.
Dr. Prameela and Dr. Anjana had a smile while listening to my complaints too. Dr. Anjana’s smile is so so much joy to see. My therapists Addaiva, Sandhya treat me to their best. They are both full of energy and focussed on treatment. Addaiva is growing to be very good massage therapist as I noticed her work on me. Sandhya has knowledge and experience. Lakshmi also I need to mention is a very senior therapist and it’s shown in her work also. This was my first visit and I already felt at home with all facilities and admin team is excellent too.

There is no greater gift in this world than the gift of health, vitality and well-being. It is the foundation upon which we can enjoy all the other aspects of our lives, including our home, our loved ones, and the beauty around us. The treatment programs and healing processes at Vaidyagrama offer the best holistic care available. I know of no other place where one can arrive with illness in the body and be restored to wholeness and vitality.
The time-honoured ancient tradition of Ayurveda is practised here at Vaidyagrama by highly skilled and impeccably trained professionals, all of whom are dedicated to the healing process. During my treatment, I felt that all my concerns were heard, addressed, and taken care of. I felt as though I was always being cared for as a precious soul, here for a short time, to be nurtured back to health.
It is with prayers and blessings of the Divine that I hope to return to Vaidyagrama and once again, bask in its nurturing healing in the future.

Vaidyagrama is a place of deep kindness. I came with little knowledge and experience of I have learned a lot from Ayurveda. Dr Ramanandan and Dr Rose went out of their way to make things easier for me when I had difficulties with the heat and was not able to sleep.
Unfortunately, my stay here has not made my insomnia better, but I will try to be faithful with the medicines and advice at home so that it will continue to improve.
All the therapists and staff are exceptionally kind and gentle. You can really feel their hearts in their hands. Thank you for your gifts.

I was pleasantly surprised, and my stay at Vaidyagrama exceeded my expectations. I thought I would only accompany my friend, who was very keen to spend time at Vaidyagrama. I only stayed for a few days, but leaving rejuvenated.
The doctors and staff were phenomenal. Dr Sajna and Dr Ramadas were excellent.
The therapists were fantastic, and every treatment was so helpful.
I will come back. I also enjoyed the prayer, satsangs, and came back home full of energy. Dr RamKumar was amazing to listen to. I wish more Indians leveraged Ayurveda!
Thank you to my favourite therapist, Shobha! And Athira is very hardworking!

I had a really good stay at Vaidyagrama. The staff, Doctors, therapists and workers here all very attentive and helpful. The treatments were beneficial. I cannot say that everything was miraculously cured, but the most important thing that I have learnt to lead a moderate, balanced life through a dinacharya. I will follow Vaidyagrama practices once I go back home. I will come back to Vaidyagrama.
Many thanks to Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Prameela, Dr. Anjana for theirs dedicated services. Also Dr. Suruchi.
The therapists, Lakshmi amma, Sandhya, Adhaiva, and Jyothika were exceptional. So also, Sumathi, Biju and Renjith.

Vaidyagrama is the real deal. They gave me true, authentic; kind care and I look forward to coming back here in the future!

For me my time in Vaidyagrama has been as if I have been cuddled as a baby, secure and well looked after by everyone. Everyone is so kind-hearted, smiling, doing their very best and very good at their work.
This place is like a sanctuary where you can surrender yourself completely and start trusting and holding yourself, surrendering with your own vulnerability to everything — your body, mind and heart.
It is a shelter, a healing shelter and full care again. I love you all.
From my heart to yours,

Vaidyagrama felt like I had revisited my childhood.
Being a Malayalee from North Malabar, when we went home for holidays to my grandparents’ home, we would swim in the kulam/ pond, all drenched in oil that my mother would have massaged over us. Come back and have a good bath with cherupayar podi/ green gram powder.
That was 50 years ago. I have not really lived in Kerala but wandered all over India. The massages done by the therapists have made me feel so pampered. All of them, especially
Kavitha, Darshana and Prema have hands that glide so smoothly over one’s body. I almost went to sleep! Having a hot water bucket bath was so refreshing, like bucket baths then.
Dr Kavya, gentle and caring, was indeed a good person to have to talk to for anything one needed.
Dr Ramadas, full of life, with just a touch of the pulse, prescribed my treatment. He brings so much positive energy when he recites the prayers in the morning and evening.
Dr Renjisha was also very communicative and gave good tips for health.
Met some very interesting people at Vaidyagrama. I got friends from Japan, Slovakia, Ukraine, Turkey and India. Good to know about other cultures.
The group lunches brought a lot of vigour – and even with an African song, one danced to the beat! I did like mingling with so many new faces.
The eco-friendly landscape of this Ayurvedic village is immensely calming.
As Ayurveda believes in the five Elements of space, water, air, fire and earth, the treatment also made us realise that every one of these Elements are within us.
Everything from the wholesome food to all those gardeners, cleaners, water fillers — they work with worship, which is so wonderful to see in today’s world filled with consumerism.
And finally, I like Vaidyagrama’s garbage-free way of life — no plastics or minimal waste.
I just returned from the orientation drive with Mr. Sanjeev; he took us to see the cows and told us about the different varieties of cows also.
We also planted a tree — a papaya tree. He gave us many interesting details about the buildings, its construction with home-baked sun-baked bricks, and the idea of working for the collective good of people in the neighbouring villages. Setting up Balagrama and feeding impoverished people makes Vaidyagrama a holistic way of life. May you flourish for years to come.

I will be back! After years and years of chronic and cumulative stress, my body was stuck, my motivation was low, and I had tried everything to improve. Nothing made a huge difference until I came to Vaidyagrama.
Thank you for your kindness, skill and compassion, and for helping me heal! I have never experienced this level of patient care and concern from all the staff. My healing has begun - Thanks to all of you!
Dr. Vinod, Dr. Anjana, Dr. Suruchi, Dr. Aruna and Dr. Prameela – I feel I have theirs help and friendship when I leave here.
My therapists were incredibly sensitive and caring. I am so very grateful to all of you beautiful beings – Lakshmi, Remya, Shoba, Jyotika, Athira and Prema. ❤️ And my housekeeper Jagadeeswari always made sure I had everything I needed & the
laundry team too! The tour of the grounds was fantastic! The reception staff, the Yoga Nidra, Satsangs… all of it. There really aren’t words to describe Vaidyagrama.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can’t wait to see all of you again soon.

I found Ayurveda six years ago. Instantly, it clicked and made sense to me, and I’ve been on the path since.
I’ve been thinking of doing a Panchakarma for a little over a year, so when the opportunity arrived to go on a trip with my teacher Kate O’Donnell, I jumped.
It’s difficult to put into words what my time here at Vaidyagrama has meant to me. It’s more of a feeling. Everyone here welcomed me as I was and provided a profound spiritual healing environment that I will never forget.
I feel more at home in my body than I ever have.
I’m leaving with a deep respect for Ayurveda and the hundreds of years it’s been in practice.
Saying thank you doesn’t feel sufficient.
Deep bows to the doctors, therapists, kitchen, housekeeping, security — everyone at Vaidyagrama.
Until next time. ❤️

It was a fabulous experience at Panchakarma, and I would love to return. The staff, doctors, therapists and receptionists were outstanding, as were the surroundings. I deeply appreciated the kindness of the people, the care provided, and the authenticity of the place and its medicines. I felt supported in every way.
There was one incident that made me emotional, but it was taken care of and resolved. We were all on a path of learning and growing. The doctors are very professional and kind. It all helped me release emotions and learn a great deal. The therapists are pure angels — one love!
I truly appreciated this feeling of food being pure medicine. The Satsangs were brilliant. I am grateful to discover that such a place exists — a true healing space, a home with a family vibe. Thank you, everyone, for creating it for all of us, for the planet, and for humanity. Stay blessed always.
Until next time, by God’s grace…

We came here with very little knowledge of Ayurveda, so we had no idea what to expect. There are very few places in this world that truly have healing energy, and we felt from the very first moment we arrived that this place is one of them. The entire surroundings radiate pure healing — the birds, the trees, and the energy of every person you meet here.
The whole team is wonderful, and we felt so welcome. They took so much time to be present and to fulfil our needs. We truly enjoyed the morning prayers, which were a completely new experience for us. We will take a lot back home with us. Thank you also for the super interesting Satsangs, with different and engaging topics every day.
We came without big expectations and left with a clear mind, a full heart, a healthy and nourished body, and deep gratitude. Thank you as well for the amazing food and medicines, which have been an important part of this healing journey. Thanks to all of you.
Lots of love,

My Ayurveda curiosity generated an energy worth further investigation, which granted me an invitation here. Vaidyagrama has been such a safe place for my physical, emotional and spiritual body to land.
I quickly learned the limitations of my mind that inhibited my transformational growth. Through the support of every single caring and compassionate team member present, I’ve surrendered the ego to make vital space for my healing journey. This evolution I embrace with a full heart, grateful spirit and vibrant abundance. Here’s to the people, peacocks and pujas with sacred cows!!!
Many blessings and peace. Gratefully awesome, ☮️❤️

Honestly, I did not know how I would complete 21 days of Panchakarma, but when I arrived at Vaidyagrama, I was cared for, listened to, fed 3 meals, bathed and fully given support to help me complete this journey.
I am so grateful for the doctors and the education provided throughout. The love that is given here is truly exceptional. I have never experienced an unconditional kindness like this from everyone who works at Vaidyagrama. I am leaving here a better person. I am grateful.

Today became an amazing birthday for me, which was made special by you for Shivaratri and in the evening with a surprise to receive birthday cake!!! And flowers from “Team Miyuki”.
I have no words to express my thanks enough to you, Dr Ramdas, who took care of me despite of such busy schedule. I would like to learn more about Ayurveda and spirit of humanity. Dr Renjisha who stayed strong so that I would follow the system strictly and praise care about me. Dr Kavya who was helping me even my late arrival and doubt about the strategy of my life.
To Manju ji who always cared me with health and more smile. Arunima & Kesiya. You cared for me from early morning to late at night. The service here and the food and medicine provided in our room was so precious. Therapists Kavitha, Bala, Darshana who treated me with love while the main staff was away. Thanks to you, I feel very well taken care. And the house keeping person, I forgot to ask your name. I felt I am safe here, thanks to you.
After being here for 3 weeks I feel so at home. The background music in the treatment room, which I hated at the beginning became less stress to me because I learned to not to find problem outside - That was the biggest lesson.
And my body became light and flexible! I am very happy about the outcome totally. I hope to continue this step of life as much as possible in Japan and hope to be back here within a year. Thank you very much!
With love,
PS: By receiving therapy here, we felt so happy being back to when I was a baby. Such love and peace from all of you.

I’m surprised that my body needed this much rest, and I didn’t even know it. I have just slept in all my free time. It’s also probably because the energy of Vaidyagrama feels so safe. Everyone is loving and kind. There is no judgment. Surprisingly I haven’t had any food cravings. The doctors are so caring, with a childlike enthusiasm that is inspiring. The karaoke and bhajans are beautiful.
Vaidyagrama is a very healthy and beautiful environment that encourages one to live slowly and beautifully in a world that always asks you to rush. You can just be & you don’t just keep doing.
Thank you to all those who have created this safe space.

What a wonderful place! Everybody here is so kind and friendly. Dr. Ramadas’ teachings were so helpful. He truly walks the path of selflessness. His heart is huge. Dr. Rose is the sweetest and kindest doctor—nothing is too much for her. Shyni and Greeshma are fabulous therapists. They always took great care of me, and when things didn’t quite go according to plan, they, together with Dr. Rose and Dr. Ramadas, did their very best to make it right. Amar, Sanu, and Sam did a wonderful job delivering the food, and Manju and Sooraj worked hard to make my stay here flawless as well.
I really enjoyed the food, the prayers, and the Satsangs. I leave feeling grateful and much, much
better. Thank you to you all. Oh, and Dr. Li’s Yoga Nidra sessions are a must!

I came in with trepidation and am leaving rejuvenated. I am here as a companion for my wife who is addressing some chronic health issue. Before coming here, I was worried that we are going to go through a difficult treatment, not enough food and I will spend my time encouraging my wife to keep going.
I found the rooms quite spacious, and I like the food and had the same meals as my wife. Both of us are energised by the number of things to do from the morning prayers, the Satsangs, the Wednesday lunch.
The treatment has not been always easy for my wife on the Basti days, but otherwise we know this is what we signed up for. What we didn’t sign up for are the sense of peace we get from the environment at Vaidyagrama.
The greenery all around is very refreshing and I am happy to walk around looking at Nature, the flowers and keeping an eye out for the birds. We have been lucky to see some birds we haven’t seen before. All this is possible due to the amazing hospitality, compassion, care and patience shown by the entire team from the cleaners, the therapists, our doctor Dr. Anjana and the medical director Dr. Harikumar. The other Medical Directors Dr. Om and Dr. Ramadas also set a great atmosphere by their cheerfulness and presence at the morning prayer.
I am leaving in 2 days but am already waiting to come here again to experience peace in this amazing environment.

This is my first visit to Vaidyagrama, and I just booked it as my friend highly recommended it. I wasn’t sure what to expect or how the program works. To be honest, I just booked it for 7 days.
I am really impressed by the doctors’ (Dr. Ardent, Dr. Anupama & Dr. Harikumar) wealth of knowledge, patience and professionalism shown towards me during my treatment period.
I also want to thank all the support staff who are so genuine and always smile & help whenever I need anything, either information or awareness about treatment.
I am looking forward to coming back for future treatment.
Thank you.

- Did not like cockroaches in the room.
- Let patients know their schedule to have treatment and meet doctors early in day so, patients and staff/doctors do not try to find patients or miss them.
- Some therapists are stronger and more skilled than others. Perhaps have skilled therapists mentor others in technique and procedures.
- Chairs/seating in rooms and Mandapam areas are uncomfortable on the backs.
- Barking dogs and pans clanking are disturbing.
- Let patients know they are entering a ‘Hindu’ oriented space with Hindu idols and pictures of Hindu gods. If there is only one God, then this healing place could have pictures of Buddha, Jesus, etc. and a chapel with other beliefs represented instead of solely Hindu.
- Have cups with handles because water is hot—too hot to handle in 1 glass of steel.
- Beds are hard and uncomfortable.
- Food did not inspire my appetite.
- Ask speakers to put their information on a slide presentation because their information is very valuable but lost when the audience cannot understand their thick accent.
- Get to know your neighbours in the surrounding community so that you are never surprised when they start digging a well at 8:00 am and create such noise and dust that patients cannot breathe or sleep. Perhaps do some simple outreach to explain to surrounding property owners that you need time to prepare for noise and dust.
- Do an outside tour before the last day, because last day becomes too hectic and the tour of the expanse of the property can be squeezed off the schedule.
- Tell patients to bring their own pillow because these are hard on necks.
- Offer toilet paper more easily, especially with day after day of Basti.
- Recharge music daily… Many days we are told ‘music is not changed.’
- Care for ‘the store’ and library—they are both messy & disorganised.
- Need warm/hot water for a shower
- Need filtered water, as it is too hard with minerals… that ruins our hair!
- Kitchen chairs are very heavy and make an annoying screech… maybe put felt pads
on their legs.
In conclusion, I appreciated the great care given by Dr. Vinod and his team. Thank you to all the hardworking nurses.
Nice curtains!
Shoba is the best, like a professional.
Loved the birds.
Thank you all for loving hands and care and it seems like a great miracle to have my
GERD/reflux healed!
Thanks to a wonderful cleaning staff too! Jagadeeswari, especially.
Praise to Dr. Anjana for her patience, expertise and her dimpled smile!
To Shoba, Lakshmi, Athira, Rahita, Ramya and all other therapists whose names I could not learn: Thank you all for your loving hands and care.
And Dr. Vinod is my hero! So personable and acknowledges both ancient and contemporary.
Loved the Peacocks!
Shoba is the shining example of how to do whatever it is you do… Skilled, accomplished, confident, strong, professional! Dr. Aruna, Dr. Prameela, Dr. Anjana for stepping in, wish we could have talked more. And thanks for the women doctors!

We will keep a memorable “souvenir” of our stay in VG. This has been a unique opportunity to reflect on a new way of taking care of our health. We came to be treated with the idea that we would be rested after 3 weeks. We leave with a whole program ahead of us to guide our life serenely and joyfully.
We feel like we were welcomed into a family, the VG family. We appreciated the quality of the doctors, the attention of all the staff, the quality of the food, and our accommodation. The prayers twice a day, the pujas, the satsangs – everything contributes to allowing us to follow this path of inner reflection.
We want to encourage you to take care of your environment as you do continue to take care of the therapists. They must be your best ambassadors. We wish they can develop as skilled professionals!
All the best for all of you.
With love,

A beautiful sanctuary, an oasis of stillness that removes you from your habitual surroundings and lessens the patterns that underlie your imbalance. A gentle invitation into self-observation and conscious awareness, supported by healing treatments and by deeply dedicated, caring, and loving staff. Vaidyagrama is a place where you heal from your true self. Where healing unfolds as you are gently freed from the conditioned self that has brought about your imbalance.
With deep gratitude,
Warmly,

My heart is filled with gratitude for my first Panchakarma here in Vaidyagrama. This journey stirs and transforms deeply, yet is always in service of something sacred—our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. I feel profoundly blessed to have experienced your healing care and the spirit of this extraordinary place.
My body, my prana, my mind, and surely the deeper layers of my being—the Vijnanamaya and Anandamaya Koshas—have been gently nourished and uplifted by the beautiful Vision that Vaidyagrama embodies. Thank you to all of you—therapists, doctors, caring hands behind the scenes, and everyone who contributes to this sacred space.
There is a rare and precious harmony here—between human-beings and Nature, between temples and satsangs, between architecture and silence, and between healing and heartfelt
encounters.
With deep gratitude and love,

Thank you for your care and support during my stay at the centre. I appreciated the calm atmosphere, the professionalism, and the attention given throughout the treatments and daily routine. Special thanks to Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Sreeji and the therapists. It was a valuable experience, and I’m grateful for the work you do!
A thousand thanks to the Marvelous therapists Beena, Prajisha and Hema.

An oasis where to find balance in the arms of Vaidyagrama. The body heals itself, the mind stops moving, the heart opens to welcome peace and light. Neither enclosed inside nor outside. In this new space, I received all the blessings of the Lord Dhanwantari.
Thank you all

Arriving here feels like a cure or detoxification for the mind and health, bringing light to human diversity. It is the deep spirit of India that comes to enchant us. By taking great care of our human complexity, it heals the body, which in turn calms the simple mind. Ayurveda here is fully alive and meaningful.
Vaidyagrama is an open place of encounter. Body, heart and spirit come together in simplicity. It is a space where health, wisdom and love reign. A place to discover a multitude of intelligence, character and depth of soul. A beginning for the heritage of the future.
We thank you sincerely. Perhaps we may not meet again soon. But this is a place I experienced deeply with my heart. An experience that helps one integrate into the world with greater humanity. Thank you for keeping this heritage alive. After one journey comes another, deeper self. So thank you for continuing to grow and flourish.

The therapists, doctors, staff, and everyone is incredible, so kind and heartfelt. I love Vaidyagrama and leave with much appreciation for your Vision here, plus gratitude for all the care I’ve received.
Here are a few ideas --
1. Updating the sweet Vaidyagrama booklet (the little book in our rooms). This booklet is helpful, and the explanations are great. It needs to be brought up to date since things have grown.
2. A covered walking area outside of the existing pathways, that allows patients to walk on the earth/dirt. Barefoot walking directly on the ground is something some people long for.
3. Signs about local birds, like how there are signs about garden plants and herbs.
Important for trips/tours
4. At the end of panchakarma if Vaidyagrama is involved in supporting a trip (like to a temple) for patients:
Logistics are key for the trip’s success and the patients’ health. Plan enough time for the tour and create correct expectations around time, i.e. departing from Vaidyagrama and returning to Vaidyagrama. So that patients bring enough water—if needed, bring a snack—if your tour will not be back by lunch. Plan enough bathroom stops. See fewer sites. Have all members of the tour meet at the same departure place (like Vaidyagrama) or meet at the destination (like the tour site) to minimise time in vehicles, traffic — these logistical considerations are important for supporting the process of panchakarma.
Thank you to all!

I’m grateful to all the staff of Vaidyagrama! A sense of thoughtfulness, peace and happiness. Thanks to Beena, Anju and Prajisha for their attention and magical hands!
To Biju for his care, elegance and smile every day. Also, to the doctors who taught me so much about Ayurveda and life. Thanks to all the young men and women for their smiles and hospitality, and to the men and women in the garden and kitchen.
This community, Vaidyagrama, is a future for me. Excuse my bad English, and thanks a lot for your understanding.

This is my fourth visit here with a group. And I feel how much I am part of the Vaidyagrama family. Patients from my group, who are here for the second or third time, feel that also. Here we learn how love can touch us deeply and expand around us. Here I learn a new way to love and feel how much my heart is becoming more open and ready to welcome others. I am happy about this beautiful journey.
To all the doctors, practitioners, housekeepers, staff, cooks, etc. - You have all of my gratitude for making and maintaining this planet healthy.
To be continued next year!

Three weeks at Vaidyagrama have flown by. I return tomorrow a calmer and more peaceful person than when I came here. I return with a resolution to continue many of the routines that will help me lead a healthy and contented life. I return with great memories of greenery, chirping of birds, and beautiful flowers. I return with love from newly-formed friendships that I believe will be strong because of the environment in which it was nurtured. I return with gratitude for all the wonderful staff at Vaidyagrama who showed true compassion and care for me.
A special shout out for my therapists—Lakshmi, Shobha and Athira. Lakshmi has magic in her fingers and is fully dedicated to her profession. Athira is diligent and full of life. Her smile and laughter make me happy and make me forget my pain. Shobha—serene and gentle, puts her heart in the treatment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
A big thanks to Dr. Anjana. She showed caring and compassion during my Basti by regularly visiting and checking on me. I felt safe in her care for the past 3 weeks. My heartfelt gratitude to Dr Harikumar, who has treated me for 21 days and has started my journey of recovery.
Last but not least, I am a changed person because of Dr. Liyakat who gently showed me the direction I need to take in my life ahead. I will never forget the concepts of ‘Bhava’ and ‘Rasa’ that I believe will guide me in the years to come.
Vaidyagrama for me is not a hospital or Ayurveda resort, it is truly a healing centre—spiritually and physically. I will surely return next year to enjoy this unique environment.
Thank you!

I’m happy to have lived these two weeks here. It changed my daily rhythm; it moved a lot inside, and I found many positive things here. Taking time and having time allows you to find your Self within yourself.
People here are so nice! I’m grateful. This stay is in continuity with my apprenticeship in Ayurveda and the means to repair and maintain health. I hope I can come back one day.

First time and not the last! I love your community lifestyle! All the staff are lovely! It’s just a shame that there was a lot of agitation around my room, with the noise of the construction work, the passage of the staff, and barking dogs. The food was good, but most days it was lukewarm or even cold. These were details that did not prevent me from having a very pleasant stay.
It was a beautiful experience, even if it was difficult (like the Vamana treatment). I took it lightly and laughed!! I’m not the same person, and am with better energy and a better mind. I’m grateful to you for all your love and healing that you gave me.
Thank you so much!! Vaidyagrama is in my heart! See you soon in a few years.

Hello! Happy healing here!
I have had the most healing experience I have had in many years. And it is just the beginning! The service here was great, very attentive and sincere staff. The food was healing, although I missed chicken and tea. The only things that need improvement are the construction noise and the logistics of ensuring that whiteboard updates and herbs are provided on time. But the people here are true healers. The doctors are professional, and the support staff are trying their best. This is a work-in-progress, improving each day — just like our personal healing.

I leave VG with a deep sense of gratitude. This was my first visit, and while I thought the focus would be on my physical health, I got much more – A reconnection to childhood, spirituality, a new meditation practice, and mental clarity, which helped me release years of trauma.
Thank you to all the staff, from the lovely front desk staff to the Patient Relations team, to the housekeepers, to the maintenance staff, to the house cleaning staff, to the cooks, the extraordinary therapists and the wonderful/knowledgeable doctors, who all helped to make this a healing journey of 21 days.
All the best to each of you!

For me to have come back the 2nd time to VG means last year’s stay and care helped my condition. Some of the symptoms are about the same, but one condition that is drastic, which is appetite, has reduced drastically. Having been with and observing good bedside manners, the vaidyas were willing to listen and give the time required. The prayers, chants and guided satsangs were very supportive to the medical treatment I was getting.
All this said, I do not see changes in a certain area. Last year I highlighted that you need more basics in orders of medicines etc. The communication between doctors lag sometimes and can break the bond among them. As a patient, it is scary to act when you think you are not being medically treated fully. Something was recommended by the senior physician, but why is that not being implemented?
It has been a wonderful week overall. I suggest that you have more doctors around, so when the main physician comes to see us, their time is not rushed. This journey that I had should be pleasant. This was a good experience, but I want the medical notes to be taken down, structured well, not misplaced, and the patient should not have to ask or remind the junior doctors. Modern medication is sometimes forgotten to be given in my husband’s case.
In the course of the day, there were other occasions that they missed; what was to be done twice a day was only done once. A patient’s life….. My husband did not even notice it, but I did and had to alert them. Human error happens everywhere, and VG is no exception, but I would like to see that the senior therapists and junior doctors are more vigilant.
My overall experience has been good, and I have recommended VG to many friends who know me well and know that I have high standards and expectations from people and institutions. I would like the senior therapists and those who train for expertise in this field, keeping to the tradition of Ayurveda and being true to the quality of Ayurvedic integrity, to be good stewards of the methods and craft of this ecological holistic institution.

Deep bow of gratitude to every single soul at Vaidyagrama who serves so lovingly and generously so that we patients can receive world-class healing. I’ve been coming to Vaidyagrama for 17 years now for treatments from the USA, and have just brought my second group. Thank you to Apama and Kavitha for all you do behind the scenes for the hospital and patients. It was a seamless process thanks to you and your administrative and office staff.
I also wish to express my gratitude to Dr. Ramkumar for his wise satsangs; the inclusion of arts and cultural events from the region only enhance and enrich the healing process. To Dr. Ramadas for his enthusiastic prayers and chanting and his devotion, as well as the satsang of Dr. Om Prakash.
Shout out to Jagadeeswari who is an exemplary housekeeper attending to our block’s needs. Thank you to the laundry and cooking staff for the care you take in nurturing us so that we need not lift a finger while we are deeply nurtured. A very special heartfelt thank you to our A-team: Dr. Vinod, Dr. Aruna, Dr. Anjana and Dr. Suruchi. Stellar, wise, top-notch care—I so appreciate how you showed up for every single member of our group. Your compassion, wisdom, communication, guidance, and protocol are unmatched. Thank you my Vaidyas and friends. And to my incredible group of therapists: Sobha (especially), Lakshmi, Athira, Ramya, Vidya, Jyothika, Abyson. You all give so much love. Thank you for your treatments, prayers, healing hands, and incredibly positive attitude towards your duty of service.
I also wish to thank Manju for procuring all the cookbooks and gifts for our group. Deepthi at the front desk was a well of compassion and kindness after a death in my family. I will never forget the way she embraced me and said, “I love you” in my moment of loss.
The homas facilitated by Rajneesh and Sankaran Namboodiri, the resident priests at Vaidyagrama, provided a spiritual dimension of healing and ritual very sacred and special to our group. Thank you.
Every time I leave Vaidyagrama, I am filled with love, hope, inspiration, healing and the utmost appreciation for this “experiment,” which is actually a model for what is possible in the world, starting with each one of us, who are now part of the “Vaidyagrama Family.” With love and respect.

It has been truly wonderful to spend these three weeks bathing in the serenity and beauty present throughout Vaidyagrama—a truly healing place. Hopefully, I will return again, and I have already recommended Vaidyagrama to friends.

This is my second visit here after many years. I brought my family also to experience the divinity in this place. What stands out here is the mutual respect everyone has for each other (everyone matters), right from the top doctors to the staff. What is unique here, and my favorite, are the satsangs. The activities never seem to stop here. Dr. Ramadas’ energy level for chanting Vishnu Sahasranamam and Lalitha Sahasranamam is truly incomparable. Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Sreya, Dr. Arun, Dr. Rose, and therapists Greeshma and Santosh, who take us through the treatment, are worthy.
Mind is the king, and VG is the place to control this mind for the betterment of self and society.

I can already tell I will miss the morning prayers, as they have been such a great way to start the day. What stands out most about the experience at Vaidyagrama is the obvious heart-centeredness of all the people working here—even a casual nod in passing and a hand to the heart says a lot.
I loved the food and the prayers, and the satsangs were often very interesting as well. The therapies were mostly excellent, though it might be beneficial to occasionally re-evaluate therapists to help them improve, though this may be my personal perspective as a massage therapist myself. Dr. Ramadas is a gem. Anyway, thank you all so much.

The journey to Vaidyagrama may have been long but the rewards have been out of this world. All my hopes, dreams and expectations have been so expertly taken care of. My body feels well, my mind calm and my spirit enthused. I feel nurtured and nourished which is wonderful and was much needed.
Dr Sreeji has been a fountain of kindness and understanding, all the doctors have been charming, deeply wise and knowledgeable, and the sharing of their knowledge through satsang reinforces the experience for the patient. The compassion shown by doctors and therapists has made me feel cared for in a unique way and the personal attention has always been very sweet, kind and gentle, a theme that runs through the entire Vaidyagrama experience and shown by staff in all the various departments.
The good intentions and noble cause of the village is evident in every area of life here. I particularly loved being in beautiful natural surroundings with an abundance of wildlife, where no chemicals are used, where spiritual practice is gently encouraged, yoga offered, lessons and communal activities provided and beautiful food to nourish all. Cow protection and the sublime Sri Dhanvantari Temple have given me a peaceful mind and a happy heart.
Thank you all. Love…

I had no expectations of Vaidyagrama or Panchakarma. My sister recommended Vaidyagrama to us. The only decision leading to come here was our call with Dr Harikumar, who said, “You overthink, just come here and I will tell you a remedy for a happy life.” From that moment, my heart had a yearning to reach Vaidyagrama.
I reached here on 13th February. Our first meal was rice kanji and greengram dal. Though I am not overly fond of greengram, the amla added the flavor needed to make the meal so delicious. Even today I look forward to the amla. Who knew the humble amla could add so much to a simple meal! Not to forget the sweetest papaya, bananas, ghee rice, buttermilk and more. Every meal, though simple and without masala, had so much character. My body and mind have never felt better. Though I may crave other foods, my body and mind are now aligned.
Dr Ramadas, Dr Anjana, Shobha, Lakshmi Amma—I will miss my smiling therapist warriors who balanced my doshas with so much love. I came battered and I am going back whole and on a path of healing. The pearls of wisdom I have taken from all of you are now part of my life. Pooja mornings and evenings, satsangs, yoga nidra and guidance from Liyakath, along with the environment, birds, gardens and animals, all contributed to my healing. I am filled with gratitude and thank each and every one of you.

How to describe my stay here? First, there is the perfect environment—the village sits in the middle of Nature, where we can hear birds singing and the wind blowing through the leaves, and see peacocks, making it a true paradise.
The synergy of the staff makes the healing experience manifest in many ways, as each person has their role and performs it beautifully, from cooking and cleaning staff to therapists and doctors. Secondly, there is the Science of Ayurveda, an integrative way to consider the human body, mind and spirit, which I may not be able to fully explain but have truly experienced. Thirdly, because of the values, ethics, environment and quality of treatment, people feel grounded, and it becomes a joyful gathering. Fourthly, the doctors are knowledgeable, kind, and caring, and I especially thank Dr. Om and Dr. Rahul for their dedication, patience, and insightful guidance. Last but not least, if you come at a certain time of year, it becomes even more perfect. While all these elements were wonderful, as with any place, nothing is perfect.
Thank you to the whole team—it has been a truly nourishing detox experience, and may this place continue to flourish and benefit people from near and far.
My warmest wishes.

Dear Vaidyagrama staff, thank you for a restful two and a half weeks. I feel lighter and more energized after my stay, and I now have more clarity about what is happening in my body and what is causing the imbalances. The doctors are knowledgeable and take their time to explain and answer questions, and the staff have been friendly, nurturing and kind, including the ground staff with whom I had many positive interactions.
I enjoyed the food, tea and fruit, which suited my preference for mild flavors. The room was spacious and regularly cleaned. My only concern is that the curtain in Room 507 is a bit short, affecting privacy, especially with the fan on, and it could be made longer.
The gardens, temples, and layout are beautiful and thoughtfully designed. Overall, I had a wonderful experience, though I had some dissatisfaction with the laundry, as clothes did not always come back fully clean and sometimes had stains, especially from treatment powders.
Thank you again for creating such an amazing healing center, and I look forward to returning in November 2026.
My warmest wishes,

These last 12 days at Illam 10 in the beautiful Vaidyagrama, that was a home and retreat, have been enriching and humbling at the same time. The love and care with which each and every one has handled our treatment was heartwarming. You all managed to gently nudge me into the Ayurvedic lifestyle, and I could not be happier. Special thanks to Dr. Ardent, Dr. Harikumar, and the very caring therapists Suraiya and Greeshma, who patiently took care of me. Thank you for everything—I am very grateful for it all.

I had such a lovely (first-time) experience at this healing centre called Vaidyagrama. I am leaving with the feeling of being healed at the physical level and at the mental level. Starting the day so early with a visit to the holy Dhanvantari temple, followed by a prayer to me, was most special.
Dr. Ramadas has such a spiritual energy, and this is something I will always remember every morning and evening. Yoganidra gave the much-needed midday relaxation. Satsang was so special and gave me insight into how I behave with food and how I should behave going forward. Dr. Om Prakash was so patient; I would pull out a lot of questions every day, and he took the time to reply, and I gained so many insights at every consultation. Dr. Rose, my illam doctor, is so loving and caring, always smiling and positive. My therapists, Shyni, Devika, and Dhanya, and Dr Sreeji, too, were so patient in the few interactions with them. Both the younger therapists are as delightful as Chechi Shyni, and they would make me feel so comfortable in the treatment room.
Everyone has so much humanity and respect for each other here at Vaidyagrama, something I carry back with me. Immense gratitude to all who work to make this experience possible for us. I got some pranayama and dieting tips from Dr. Liyaqat, and this will now be part of my daily routine. Once again, a big thank you to all. Some changes or improvements, if I may suggest: quality of housekeeping and mosquito management—it was impossible to sit outside on the benches post 4 pm.

Dear Vaidyagrama Friends, Thank you so much for the wonderful experience in Vaidyagrama. We believe that Vaidyagrama is not an institution; it is a philosophy. The doctors here aim not just to treat patients but also to educate them. This helps patients to understand that their treatment during our stay at Vaidyagrama is not the end of illness; it is a beginning to lead a healthy and fulfilled life.
I would like to thank all the stakeholders of Vaidyagrama, from the doctors to the therapists. Everyone was very supportive and helpful. I am very grateful for my stay and treatment and hope to visit again. Thank you and with gratitude. Special thanks to Dr. Arun, Dr. Rose, and Dr. Sreya. I also want to mention Nimmi and Anu, who did a very good job providing treatment.

Dear Vaidyagrama, I came with my mother, and the experience has been very good. I loved Dr. Ramadas ji, Dr. Renjisha, the other doctors, satsangs, chanting in the morning and evening, puja, homa, therapists, staff, and the treatment, love and care I received. One area for improvement would be cleanliness, as I experienced cockroaches in my room every other day, and it would be great if this is addressed in the future.
All therapists did a very good job. Prema was my favourite therapist and took extra time to help with my problem areas, and Manju was my mother’s favourite therapist, very caring and excellent in her work. Kesiya was very helpful in all aspects, and the rest of the therapists were also supportive, though I may not remember all their names. A big thank you to all the therapists—no one has taken care of us like them.
Thank you, Vaidyagrama, and we will see you again.

Dr. Mojin and Dr. Kavya took good care of me and were available whenever I needed them, arranging everything I asked for. Dr. Ramanandan is outstanding—he listens actively and is very perceptive. This is a beautiful place, and I will come back again.

Dear beautiful & wonderful VG staff,
What an amazing, magical, and powerful month it has been! I arrived feeling depleted, stressed and unwell, and now after 30 days I feel lighter, more rested and healthier. There were ups and downs, but at every step I felt supported, cared for, and guided. Dr. Hima has been a delight to work with—gentle, diligent, reassuring and always smiling, with remarkable expertise. Thanks also to Sreeji for her constant care.
The Ekanta therapy staff felt like family—always attentive, kind and caring. Dr. Vinod provided transformative care for my mind, body and spirit, making me feel seen and valued, with noticeable daily improvements. Athira, Madhu, Deepthi, and all staff were like angels—graceful and supportive.
The prayers, ceremonies, temple and satsangs were deeply healing. One challenge was occasional noise from other guests, and clearer quiet-time guidelines may help. I also felt concerned seeing some dogs tied with short chains and seemed without water, and it would be wonderful if they had more freedom and care. Thank you for all the love, care and healing energy, and gratitude to the lineage of Ayurveda and its wisdom.
With love,

Vaidyagrama! This trip to India, I didn’t plan to visit Vaidyagrama, however, I am here at this beautiful,’ in tune with Nature and rejuvenation’ place. Everything here is amazing. The routine and structure are nothing I could ever ask for. Warmly welcomed by the receptionists by hearing “Namaste ji,” such beautiful words and the work they provide here is outstanding.
The doctors are skilful, experienced and experts in their field. I was seen by Dr. Vinod and his team. The care, treatments, advice and guidelines I receive here are overwhelming. Also, it is 24 hours care. I come from a Western country, but I’ve never seen such passionate care as is performed in Vaidyagrama. Of course, the therapists, they are young but they deliver treatments with long time experience and full of knowledge. Plus, they are very confident in what they are doing. When my pain was aggravated, one of the therapists called Addaiva ji said, “Don’t worry, we will heal you, you will be healed here, we all are family here.” Those words mean everything to me and she means everything to me as well.
The busy kitchen always serves better and healthy food. I can see their effort to give nourishment to each of the patients based on their diet. Also, in-house laundry is provided. So, when you are in Vaidyagrama, you just need to focus on your wellbeing and healing, the rest is taken care of by Vaidyagrama and their passionate staff. Housekeeping is every day and the staff are friendly too. I like Sumithaji; she does things in a particular way.
There are some activities running on a daily basis: satsangs run by doctors, prayers, herbal tea making and so on. I don’t feel bored even without internet. I have a schedule to get treatment throughout the day. Life at Vaidyagrama is completely different from the life I have been living. The Nature surrounding and birds chirping are one of the qualities in Vaidyagrama. Varieties of species of birds in Vaidyagrama you can witness. My words are not enough to express my experiences and joyful moments in Vaidyagrama. I love and enjoy being in Vaidyagrama. I can feel my health has improved. I will miss all this experience in Vaidyagrama and will cherish it.
Above all, I got a grand chance to take a picture with Dr. J.M. Sampath, he is a co-founder of Vaidyagrama. Such a wonderful experience as I am a big fan of him. Special big thanks to Dr. Vinod ji, Dr. Prameela ji, Dr. Rajesh ji, Dr. Anjana ji and all of my therapists from Illam-9. With much love and respect to all of the staff here in Vaidyagrama. Big bow down to Vaidyagrama!

Om Sai Ram. I have no words to express my thanks to the Vaidyagrama family, doctors, therapists, and surrounding staff, all cheerful and helpful. My stay was very helpful and useful and I also found lots of pain in my feet was disappearing, but I will miss all of them when I go back to Mumbai.
I am and will always be thankful to God and the doctors here who helped me to overcome my foot pain. God bless Vaidyagrama and good wishes from me. My stay has been wonderful. Also, I thank the resident priests performing Aartis and Shiv puja (my deity). I forgot to mention peacocks, natural birds and the environment, lovely Shiva temples. I enjoyed cow puja, respect to Mother Cow, out of this world, cannot express.

Dear All, we came here for the first time for Ayurveda Panchakarma. We really enjoyed our stay here and learnt a lot of new things. Doctors have been kind and knowledgeable. Therapists have also been hardworking and take good care during treatments. We really enjoyed going to prayers and aarti early in the morning. Going to the temple and meeting Panditji was always very special for us. Attending havans was an amazing and peaceful experience.
One thing which could be improved is the management of mosquitoes, as that was the most difficult part of stay. I have had to leave satsangs in the middle as it was impossible to sit there. Overall a great experience and stay for us. Thanks to everyone!

This is my second 21-day treatment course at Vaidyagrama. I see consistency in practices without any monotony getting into people. The passion of all staff is evident. No need to say, Dr Ramanandan is my hero. My prayers for his good health. Dr Prameela is highly capable, caring and friendly. So are Dr Rajesh and Dr Anjana. My gratitude to all of them for taking good care of me. Therapists Binu, Biju and Renjith were always pleasant, helpful and skilled at their trade. My best wishes to all. Till next time.

This is my first time visit to Vaidyagrama. Although I came here as an attender, the expertise of Dr Sajna and team gave me the confidence to become a patient for taking care of simple biological metabolic imbalances. The holistic mind-body-soul approach from treatments to eating creates an authentic vibe.
I truly value the organic ecosystem found here and the warmth of everyone from apex doctors to drivers and therapists bring a good vibration. I love the patient-friendly Dr Sajna team, Dr Rajesh, especially Dr Anjana and lovable therapist Shobha. However I noticed a shortage of therapists which leads to frequent rotation and loss of information in patient handover. Also, the turnaround time for essentials could be faster. Improving here would perfectly complement the world-class core you provide.
Thank you all Vaidyagrama family.

This was our second visit, and it was wonderful. Our family has grown since the last time. This time we came with our toddler, and he loves this place. The birds, especially the peacocks, the cows and the flowers—he loves them all. He made a few friends here, and I think he will miss all of them, especially Devika. He now thinks that Vaidyagrama is his home. As for me, I loved the fact that we were close to Brahmakamalam this time so that I could go there anytime.
The therapists were great and quite attentive. Thanks a lot to Shyni, Dhanya, Greeshma, Devika, and Anu for taking such good care of my mother and me. And thanks a lot to Dr. Rose for taking such good care of us and taking the time to listen to us with much patience and compassion—your smile is truly contagious. I am unable to thank everyone individually. Thanks a lot to Dr. Harikumar for explaining a lot of things about our health and Ayurveda. This time I learned a lot more about Ayurveda. The satsangs were great and informative. Overall, this time our stay felt more like a family vacation for us, with my husband, my mother, my toddler, his nanny, and me—all of us under the same roof while trying to heal ourselves. Much love!!

Grateful for an extraordinary community founded on love, care and deep healing. It is a light in the dark, just as a lighthouse guides ships to a safe harbour. All the staff—from the doctors and the cleaners to the therapists and the cooks—have shown deep commitment, beautiful smiles and expertise that allowed us to feel trust and respect. This is as important as the medicine and massages. We go with deep appreciation and warmth towards everyone here — remarkable!

Thank you for all the love and care, dear doctors and crew. It touched me deeply, and the whole of Vaidyagrama’s Vision in action is such a “light of love” in this troubled world we live in. For me, it was a journey of trust—the time here, trust in Ayurveda, in the doctors, and in my body and mind. I feel rejuvenated and lighter, and I know you are here, and I am happy. Big thanks to you.

Very authentic Ayurveda treatment with dedicated therapists and a very good team of doctors. The treatment quality was excellent, and the sattvik food was good. It was a wholesome detox for both body and mind. It would be helpful to have brighter lighting in the rooms for reading, and the presence of many lizards in the room needs to be addressed.

Thank you for taking care of me during these past three weeks. I am grateful I got to experience such a beautiful space with so many hardworking individuals dedicated to well-being. Special thanks to Dr. Rose, Devika, Dhanya, and Shreya for taking care of me during treatments, and of course to Dr. Ramanandan for all the knowledge shared and counselling. During my stay, I especially enjoyed the satsangs and pooja. The food was very delicious too (I like plain tastes). I felt comfortable in my room, except for the first few days when there was an ant infestation, but it was eventually taken care of. Getting used to the mosquitoes was a bit hard, and sometimes it was noisy at night because of phone alarms from other units.
In terms of general recommendations for the future: having a more standard procedure for measuring jam medicines, as the quantity I got varied from time to time; shifting the emphasis from “staying positive” to keeping emotions balanced, because from my experience we cannot stay positive forever—negative thoughts eventually come, and we should learn to accept them without getting attached; and having basic Tamil phrase sessions so that non-locals can communicate better with the staff. Thanks again for everything. I will treasure all the wonderful thoughts and energies I received from everyone here and strive to do my part in making the world a happy, healthy, and loving place.

Dear Vaidyagrama, we have heard so much positive feedback from friends and family and finally experienced it ourselves, 15 days of care, compassion and positive energy from everyone we have met here. Doctors Vinod ji, Sajna ji, Rajesh ji and Anjana ji have been patient and listened to our cases and spent a lot of time with us to really understand. Thank you for your time and expertise. All our therapists at Cluster 3—Sajith, Ranjith, Rahitha, Jyothika, Shiny, Addaiva, Binu—all with healing hands and always a smile.
Thank you. To the kitchen staff, we loved the food, simple yet flavourful, light on the tummy. The outside environment, the orchestra of birds, peacocks and the greenery were so soothing for the soul. All the satsangs, Yoga Nidra, pujas and prayers were uplifting for the mind, intellect and body. Everything and everyone from reception, desk, accounts, cleaners and other support staff have been superlative. We go back feeling lighter, calmer and knowing that our healing journey is progressing positively. We also got to meet so many other guests from around the world and learnt from one another. A wonderful community. Kudos to Dr Ramkumar and his team for creating this healing village and we will be back for sure.
Warm regards and may Vaidyagrama keep shining…

Words cannot truly express my gratitude for what Vaidyagrama has done for my health. I genuinely believe that everyone should experience this place, especially if they are dealing with any kind of physical or mental ailment. I arrived here two weeks ago feeling weak, stressed and in considerable pain. I leave feeling stronger, energetic and with a calm and balanced mind. The transformation has been remarkable.
Dr Harikrishnan and his entire team have done exceptional work in taking care of me. Their dedication and attention for each patient for all these years is commendable. Dr Anjana is incredibly kind and attentive throughout my stay, always with a smile, ensuring every aspect of my treatment was thoughtfully managed and very professional. A big thank you to all the therapists who are humble, disciplined and very professional. Vaidyagrama not only healed me, but taught me so much about my life and lifestyle. The environment, food and water are perfect for anyone looking to truly get healed. Vaidyagrama is perhaps one of the finest healing centers in India or possibly in the world.
P.S. Thank you to the housekeeping, cooks and backend/accounts team for making it a lovely and healthy stay. Keep smiling. Thank you and with lots of love.

I feel gratitude beyond words for the people at Vaidyagrama—so much care, love and professionalism every single day. The treatments have been so healing, and I definitely want to come back. A special big thank you to Sindhu and Princy for your presence and dedication in everything you do, and your wonderful treatment; Dr. Akshita for, with her loving heart, looking after me every day and making sure I am okay; and Dr. Vinod for all your knowledge and care. I have so much looked forward to every meeting—it has been a blessing for body, mind and soul to be here. I have loved Yoga Nidra, the morning prayers, your Vision and the fantastic architecture. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you wonderful people.

I could manage only 6 days here at this lovely place. I will definitely come back to Vaidyagrama. Staff, doctors, cleaners, therapists— every single person displays professionalism, warmth and is super efficient, hospitable, kind and diligent. The experience I was given by this amazing temple of wellness has been incredible. I feel nourished mentally and physically.
My heart is full of gratitude and praise. I have learnt and experienced so much in the past 6 days—spiritually and some knowledge of Ayurveda. I thank every person, each and every one, for making this journey of 6 days so complete and fulfilling. I feel healthy and clean. I wish everyone abundance of gratitude and love. God bless. Thank you to my lovely doctors and caretakers—see you soon.

It is hard to find fault with the standard of care and diligence of all staff, from medical directors to the ladies who take care of the rooms. There is no question in my mind that I have benefited from the two weeks at Vaidyagrama. The surroundings, wonderfully peaceful, further enhance the experience. If there was one wish that could be made, it would be for more appealing cuisine, but maybe that is not compatible with the treatments.

Dr. Rose, Dr. Vinod, and all of their amazing attendants provided the utmost care and expertise in helping to transform my life into even greater levels of purification and peace.

I’m writing this with a lot of emotion in my heart. When I first came to the place, little did I realize that I would not feel like leaving it. The place is what it is because of the truly warm people around. Dr Sajna has always made sure to be there and responded to my messages in a matter of minutes. Dr Anjana felt more pain than I probably did during the tough phases of my treatment and felt more like a friend I could vent to. Dr Om Prakash lit the room wherever he was and made me feel part of it. Swami Anna made sure I actually ate and didn’t skip my meals. Therapists Athira, Lakshmi and Addaiva cared deeply. Dr Rajesh listened intently and went beyond his role to help me, including bringing coconut water. I am relearning after neglecting myself all these years. While I was living all those years, in retrospect I am not sure I was fair to myself. I now understand what to eat, what to wear and what to surround myself with.
Quite importantly, I feel like I have a super powerful ecosystem supporting me. I am going to deeply miss the rustle of the trees, the satsangs and the ever-inviting smiling staff. Here’s wishing Vaidyagrama 500+ more years of existence for mankind. Thank you.

What a world treasure Vaidyagrama is—a crown jewel of Ayurveda, steeped in spiritual forces, traditions, elements, and a wellspring of wisdom. It all comes together as a masterpiece! I was here just a year ago for 3 weeks, and again now for 2 weeks—a little easier the second time. It always feels like a prayer marathon as much as a healing journey. What’s remarkable is how many people who work here remember me; the care and friendship are so nourishing and enlivening.
Special thanks to Indu, Arya, and Adhira—beautiful, talented, devoted Ayurveda body workers and medicine makers. You win the highest praise. Thanks to Dr. Om and Dr. Anupama for their warm, intelligent, nuanced and delightful guidance—I look forward to following up. And the priest provides so much special care and wisdom. My personal practice is so inspired and enriched by my time here. Truly, the people who work here grace us with their commitment to our healing. Thank you—being able to come here as a patient and pilgrim is the greatest blessing. All love and highest praise.

Thank you so much to all the staff at Vaidyagrama, especially the lovely staff in Illam 3. Thank you, thank you to Dr. Kavya and Dr. Renjisha—her smiling face every day made things easier. The first three days were challenging for me, but I am so glad I stayed. I am very grateful to Dr. Om for his care, his precise answers to all my many questions, and his knowledge. I really enjoyed Yoga Nidra and the lovely energy of Dr. Li. A very special thank you to Vasanthamani for making my little prayer altar special every day. I am leaving today, on my 58th birthday, feeling calm, relaxed, more grounded, and with the tools and information to keep my health and well-being a priority when I return home. I will be back. Thank you!

I love my stay at Vaidyagrama, loved the food, the treatments and the attentiveness of Dr Hari Kumar, Dr Sajna, Dr Anjana and a junior female doctor with glasses whose name I do not remember - but she was very compassionate, and it is obvious that all doctors love their work. The place is nice, quiet and full of Nature and space to relax. Treatments were fantastic. I would like to thank all the therapists, particularly Sandhya Vinod and Shyni Mol for their always professional attitude and superb attention to their work and to their patients. Wishing healing to all who come to the center. Thank you.

I have had a great experience at Vaidyagrama Healing Village. We reached for the right program to be taken care of, and this one stood out as the real deal. Everyone was pure joy and very professional. Many thanks to Dr. Anupama, Dr. Vinod, and Dr. Ardent—they listened and tailored my care. I have many complicated conditions, and Dr. Vinod took his time to craft a care plan that my body could handle. Many thanks to the therapists in the care team—Girish, Ganesh, Abhijith, Lalu, and Biju—they were awesome, especially Girish. The rest of the team were excellent and attentive. The satsangs were informative, and the prayers were enriching.
I will be coming back and highly recommend Vaidyagrama. Also, it was very enriching to meet people from all over the world with the same goals of healing ourselves and the world. Thank you.

I feel like I have been deeply blessed. My 21 days here have been the most wholesome, nourishing, and spiritual experience of my life. I am deeply grateful to my doctors, Dr. Ramdas, Dr. Kavya, and Dr. Renjisha. Dr. Kavya, in particular, gave me so much attention and love, and Dr. Ramdas inspired me with his words and beautiful spiritual energy. My therapists Prema, Kavita, and Daksha were incredibly kind, gentle and professional. Dr. Li helped me cope with the emotions that arose during this time and guided me toward spiritual awareness, which has been an unexpected but beautiful addition to my time at VG.
I leave with the understanding that health is much more than physical well-being, and that only through daily spiritual practice, managing the ego and mind, and treating my body with love and respect will I be able to flourish and continue my dharma as a guardian of nature. From the heart, thank you VG team.

Liebe Vaidyagrama-Familie, ich war das erste Mal hier und wusste nicht, was mich erwartet. Was ich hier fand, ist einzigartig. Es ist wie eine Glasglocke über dem Zentrum—hier herrscht Ruhe und so viel Liebe, Freundlichkeit und Respekt allem gegenüber. Das entspricht mir sehr. Ich bin beeindruckt von der Philosophie, die hier gelebt wird und wie das Zentrum erweitert und ergänzt wird, insbesondere für schwächere Menschen und Menschen in schwierigen Situationen, denen hier ein Platz geboten wird, damit sich ihr Leben zum Positiven verändern kann. Wenn doch viel mehr Menschen auf unserer wunderschönen Welt in den Ansätzen so leben würden! Das ganze Team beeindruckt mich mit dieser Herzlichkeit und Liebe, die sie ausstrahlen. Ich habe in meinem Leben so viele Krankenhäuser erlebt—hier herrscht eine große Professionalität der Ärzte und des gesamten Teams. Ich spüre an meinem Körper bereits eine deutliche Verbesserung und freue mich auf alles, was noch positiv kommen wird. In großer Dankbarkeit.

Vaidyagrama is special. This was my second time here, and I feel the same—being here was the best thing I have done for myself. The environment, the chirping birds, trees, and warm staff, along with the prayers and satsangs, created a calming, zen-like space. I enjoyed all of it. I always had a list of questions for Dr. Vinod, and he took the time to listen carefully and answer them until I understood and learned. Dr. Rose and Dr. Jayan were amazing in the care they gave me. Therapists Bindu, Viji and Greeshma were sincere and caring in my treatments. Most of all, I saw improvements in my body, and seeing that in an incurable disease felt like a miracle, for which I am eternally grateful.

Hey, this is Sandhya from Nagapattinam. I stayed here for 21 days. The experience is great. This is our second visit. Dr Ramanadan, Dr Om Prakash and Dr Anjana were incredibly kind and attentive. They listened carefully, answered all my questions and made me feel at ease throughout my visit. They truly care about their patients and take time to explain the diagnosis in simple terms and focus on finding the root cause of the problem. The therapists and staff checked on me regularly and made me feel very comfortable. They are courteous, helpful and responsive. The environment is clean, comfortable and safe.
I would like to thank the therapist team who treated me all days with great care and respect. They are very polite and make one feel comfortable. Laundry and housekeeping are good. Now my stress level is 0 percent. It is truly an amazing feeling to stay here. The economical value is the best part of choosing Vaidyagrama Ayurveda.
My best wishes to them. Thank you everyone with love,

Dear Vaidyagrama, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I did not know what I was carrying. Every meal, every treatment and every kind interaction shone a light so I could see and heal each layer as it came. I feel like a different person, but really I am a slimmed-down version of who I truly am. It was a big step for me to learn to be cared for after 15 years of motherhood and 10 years of illness. I trusted your hands and I am so grateful I landed in them.

I came to Vaidyagrama as part of a group of nine Swiss people. To be honest, I was not quite sure what to expect, as I had never undergone Ayurveda treatment before, so I was a bit hesitant at first. However, I was pleasantly surprised in every way—by the highly qualified medical staff, the wonderful therapists, the friendly and helpful housekeeping staff, the spiritual practices, and the social commitment of Vaidyagrama.
I wholeheartedly recommend Vaidyagrama.

A big thank you to Dr. Ramanandan, who is amazing, and to Dr. Arun and Dr. Shreya, who took such good care of me. To my therapists Bindu and Nimmi, who did a great job in my healing process, thank you. To Devaki, who would sometimes come to check on my treatment, thanks. I have really enjoyed the morning satsang, going to the Dhanvantari temple, and the peace and quiet one experiences at Vaidyagrama. I hope to return soon.

I very much appreciate how the staff went above and beyond to help me recover from a severe inflammatory attack in my feet and knees. They helped connect me with doctors, blood tests, and other diagnostic tools to understand the cause of my pain. Although I was unable to complete the full treatment and stayed only 10 of the planned 21 days, the care and consideration shown during one of the most painful experiences of my life were deeply appreciated. I am especially grateful to Dr. Mojin, who stayed in constant contact and even accompanied me to the hospital, organizing wheelchairs and other support to help me access care. I would love to return in the future for further treatment. One area for improvement would be the speed of food and medicine delivery to the houses, as it was sometimes slow, though understandable, and improving logistics in this area would be beneficial.

I particularly want to thank Satish and his team for the hard work they have put in to make me better, Dr. Shreya for holding my hand, Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Arun, and Dr. Ramanandan for their loving care and confidence, and all the staff of Vaidyagrama and the birds for soothing my heart.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, it is remarkable how in three weeks I have truly felt like I have been embraced into a family, and each one of you feels like part of my own family—my body, my mind, and my spirit have felt like a smooth flowing river receiving showers of care, love, and insights from each one of you. I have truly been touched by Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Anuradha, Dr. Shreya, Dr. Arun, Prabhu, Bindu, Viji, Nimmi, Akhila, Anu, and everyone in the front desk and back office.
Sandeep and I return home with a lot of gratitude for what you have all taught us, and admiration for how the vidya of Ayurveda and its depths are brought into practice here. We also return with determination to continue the treatment and apply all that we have learned here in our everyday lives. I cannot thank Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Anupama enough for giving us so much confidence, care, and for being so immensely patient with all our questions.
This is truly a divine space—the devotion of the team, the attention to the smallest detail, and the joy with which work happens here seamlessly, all witnessed by the peacocks, paradise flycatcher, and blooming hibiscus all over. We will return again.
With love and blessings.

If we eat food with proper discipline and control, diseases can be avoided. If we overeat or eat without following rules, it leads to the accumulation of toxins (ama) in the body. Food should be taken at the right time, in the right quantity, and according to one’s digestive capacity. Irregular eating habits disturb digestion and lead to disease. Therefore, by maintaining discipline in food and lifestyle, one can protect health and prevent illness.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, thank you so much for choosing this path and working so hard. Vaidyagrama looks at a person in a truly holistic manner, which I deeply appreciate, as people come here with emotional and mental burdens and are given space to release them. I loved the thoughtful design of this place, with so many activities and such care for patients during this intense journey. Initially, I wondered about the number of prayers, but now I understand how they help support transformation. One suggestion is that therapists sometimes seemed overworked, which could lead to mistakes, and it may help to have dedicated staff for medicines and food. There are small areas for improvement, especially before expansion, but the quality of care is excellent and should be maintained. Lots of love and blessings to the whole community—may all beings be happy.

I spent the most serene one week here. For that and for the wonderful treatments, I am extremely grateful to the entire staff of Vaidyagrama. Dr. Vinod was extremely kind, receptive and engaging. I will think fondly of our discussions and am grateful for the knowledge he shared with me. Dr. Akshita and Dr. Ardent were extremely sweet and helpful and made this journey comforting as well as interesting. The therapists were extremely courteous and dedicated to their jobs. The wonderful smiles on Saranya, Vincy and Greeshma’s faces always made my day better and I will definitely miss their warm energy. Big kudos to the housekeeping staff who were always upbeat, helpful and courteous.
This journey would not have been nearly as fruitful without the contribution of each and every one of you. Throughout my days here, I always looked forward to meeting the resident peacock and also Patti. Eternally grateful for the people and the beautiful environment. Thanks a lot. Lots of love.

I am extremely happy that I decided to spend 2 weeks here at Vaidyagrama. It is that rare place which affords you complete rest and rejuvenation to the body, mind and soul. The warmth of all the members of staff, with their professionalism and efficiency, really makes the experience better. The validity of courses is incredible with their depth and breadth of knowledge only augmented by the junior doctors. My sincere thanks to all the therapists, housekeeping staff and the admin staff for ensuring that I had a good stay with no shortcomings. Looking forward to continuing the healing journey with Vaidyagrama. As you expand, do ensure that the ethos of the campus is retained, as also the informative satsangs and the poojas and other events. Thank you.

Hello, this is Dinesh Sannareddy from Chennai. I stayed at Vaidyagrama for 13 days, and I am writing with a heart full of gratitude and emotion. This was my first visit, and the experience has truly been wonderful and memorable. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of calm and care that stayed with me throughout my journey. Dr Suruchi was incredibly kind, attentive and patient. She took the time to understand all my concerns in detail and explained everything clearly, which made me feel comfortable and confident about the treatment. Dr Arun, I sincerely thank you for your dedication. You went deep into understanding each of my problems, explained the root cause in simple terms and guided me with care and commitment. A special thanks to all the therapists who took care of me with warmth and compassion. I would also like to appreciate the management for maintaining such a clean, peaceful and well-organized environment. I am truly grateful for this experience. Next time, I would love to bring my family here.

From the smallest gestures of welcoming me at an odd check-in time by a doctor to the meticulous effort of ensuring every meal, tea, and medicine is delivered exactly to my specific needs and recommendations, I was humbled by the inspiring gardeners working tirelessly as if it were not just a job. Even the animals, birds, and insects felt like they were on a mission of warmly welcoming everyone who comes in contact with VG. Special thanks to each and every one. Gratitude to every living creature in and around the campus. It really helped me reconnect and find my ground. Warm smiles, gentle greetings, caring intent—an absolute healing haven created and nurtured by you is a benchmark and a legacy in the making for centuries to come. Till next time we cross paths, you have nourished my soul. Gratitude and love.

Dearest Vaidyagrama, what a special place this is. From before I even got here, to the course of all of my treatments, to the very end, I have been impressed and blown away by the level of professionalism, integrity, values and true devotion to the ancient practice of Ayurveda that all of the staff show. The passion that comes through from the doctors is really incredible. And there is a deep commitment to the patients that I saw from all of the staff.
I am so grateful for Dr. Sreeji, Dr. Akshita, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Om and Dr. Ardent for all of the care you took to ensure that I was receiving the best treatment for my conditions. Dr. Sreeji carefully designed my treatment plan in consideration of all of my ailments, adjusting as needed, and immediately communicating any updates to my junior doctor, Dr. Akshita. Thank you, Dr. Sreeji. Dr. Akshita faithfully checked on me each morning and responded promptly to any of my requests. She demonstrated the utmost professionalism and courtesy, validated my concerns and was always kind. Thank you, Dr. Akshita. And to my beloved therapists—Sindhu, Princy and Athira—I love you three.
You were always there to greet me with a warm-hearted smile and such love and tenderness during my treatments. You tended to me like a mother tends to her child. You always brought me my medicine and food on time, and I cannot express how much you meant to me during my Panchakarma. I felt so well taken care of. I will miss you.
To the amazing reception staff, thank you for your kindness, patience and care. I will miss you Madhu, Deepti and Sumati. Thank you to my room cleaners for your warmth and care, to the laundry staff, and to all of the doctors who deliver multiple satsangs every day and beautiful prayers of chanting for all of us to benefit from. Thank you to the temple priests. Thank you to the kitchen staff for preparing delicious and healthy food day in and day out for everyone. Thank you to the admin and all of the rest of the staff for everything you do. My deepest gratitude.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, where to begin! I came with few expectations but an open mind, and deep down there was a sense of hope for my deep-rooted health issues, and that has indeed been fulfilled. The medicine, food, and treatments were so well curated and carefully explained by Dr. Om Prakash. I felt cared for in a way that no doctor or medical team has ever cared for me before. Beyond the physical care, what truly stood out was the emphasis on nourishing the mind, heart, and soul along with the body. Understanding that healing is Nature-driven and essential to living one’s dharma and creating positive karma was a revelation for me. I am grateful to the people who prepared and served everything with such care. The entire team embodied peace, trust, kindness, and compassion. I felt deeply connected to Nature and the healing flow around me. I leave with immense gratitude.

I leave with a better understanding of healthy living and will miss the warmth and smiles. Best wishes.

I came here on the recommendation of my friend, and it was even better than I expected. The people, place, food, treatments, prayers and lectures—everything is wonderful. I will recommend this place and its treatments to my friends. I feel it has truly helped me and will help me become healthier and more relaxed. I also learned a lot about Ayurvedic principles, and how they are deeply connected with spirituality, which makes me happy. I felt at home with all the friendly and welcoming people around. I hope to come again soon and wish all of you the very best. I will also try to inspire people to create something similar in my country—a spiritual community with Ayurveda—and perhaps invite your team to guide us.

For me to have come back the 2nd time to VG means last year’s stay and care helped my condition. Some of the symptoms are about the same, but one condition that is drastic, which is appetite, has reduced drastically. Having been with and observing good bedside manners, the vaidyas were willing to listen and give the time required. The prayers, chants and guided satsangs were very supportive to the medical treatment I was getting.
All this said, I do not see changes in a certain area. Last year I highlighted that you need more basics in orders of medicines etc. The communication between doctors lag sometimes and can break the bond among them. As a patient, it is scary to act when you think you are not being medically treated fully. Something was recommended by the senior physician, but why is that not being implemented?
It has been a wonderful week overall. I suggest that you have more doctors around, so when the main physician comes to see us, their time is not rushed. This journey that I had should be pleasant. This was a good experience, but I want the medical notes to be taken down, structured well, not misplaced, and the patient should not have to ask or remind the junior doctors. Modern medication is sometimes forgotten to be given in my husband’s case.
In the course of the day, there were other occasions that they missed; what was to be done twice a day was only done once. A patient’s life….. My husband did not even notice it, but I did and had to alert them. Human error happens everywhere, and VG is no exception, but I would like to see that the senior therapists and junior doctors are more vigilant.
My overall experience has been good, and I have recommended VG to many friends who know me well and know that I have high standards and expectations from people and institutions. I would like the senior therapists and those who train for expertise in this field, keeping to the tradition of Ayurveda and being true to the quality of Ayurvedic integrity, to be good stewards of the methods and craft of this ecological holistic institution.

Deep bow of gratitude to every single soul at Vaidyagrama who serves so lovingly and generously so that we patients can receive world-class healing. I’ve been coming to Vaidyagrama for 17 years now for treatments from the USA, and have just brought my second group. Thank you to Apama and Kavitha for all you do behind the scenes for the hospital and patients. It was a seamless process thanks to you and your administrative and office staff.
I also wish to express my gratitude to Dr. Ramkumar for his wise satsangs; the inclusion of arts and cultural events from the region only enhance and enrich the healing process. To Dr. Ramadas for his enthusiastic prayers and chanting and his devotion, as well as the satsang of Dr. Om Prakash.
Shout out to Jagadeeswari who is an exemplary housekeeper attending to our block’s needs. Thank you to the laundry and cooking staff for the care you take in nurturing us so that we need not lift a finger while we are deeply nurtured. A very special heartfelt thank you to our A-team: Dr. Vinod, Dr. Aruna, Dr. Anjana and Dr. Suruchi. Stellar, wise, top-notch care—I so appreciate how you showed up for every single member of our group. Your compassion, wisdom, communication, guidance, and protocol are unmatched. Thank you my Vaidyas and friends. And to my incredible group of therapists: Sobha (especially), Lakshmi, Athira, Ramya, Vidya, Jyothika, Abyson. You all give so much love. Thank you for your treatments, prayers, healing hands, and incredibly positive attitude towards your duty of service.
I also wish to thank Manju for procuring all the cookbooks and gifts for our group. Deepthi at the front desk was a well of compassion and kindness after a death in my family. I will never forget the way she embraced me and said, “I love you” in my moment of loss.
The homas facilitated by Rajneesh and Sankaran Namboodiri, the resident priests at Vaidyagrama, provided a spiritual dimension of healing and ritual very sacred and special to our group. Thank you.
Every time I leave Vaidyagrama, I am filled with love, hope, inspiration, healing and the utmost appreciation for this “experiment,” which is actually a model for what is possible in the world, starting with each one of us, who are now part of the “Vaidyagrama Family.” With love and respect.

Thank you all so much. Everyone has been so caring, helpful and kind. With the skills of the amazing doctors, I feel as if a whole weight has lifted from me and a new lease of life lies ahead. It has been truly wonderful to spend these three weeks bathing in the serenity and beauty present throughout Vaidyagrama—a truly healing place. Hopefully, I will return again, and I have already recommended Vaidyagrama to friends.

This is my second visit here after many years. I brought my family also to experience the divinity in this place. What stands out here is the mutual respect everyone has for each other (everyone matters), right from the top doctors to the staff. What is unique here, and my favorite, are the satsangs. The activities never seem to stop here. Dr. Ramadas’ energy level for chanting Vishnu Sahasranamam and Lalitha Sahasranamam is truly incomparable. Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Sreya, Dr. Arun, Dr. Rose, and therapists Greeshma and Santosh, who take us through the treatment, are worthy.
Mind is the king, and VG is the place to control this mind for the betterment of self and society.

I can already tell I will miss the morning prayers, as they have been such a great way to start the day. What stands out most about the experience at Vaidyagrama is the obvious heart-centeredness of all the people working here—even a casual nod in passing and a hand to the heart says a lot.
I loved the food and the prayers, and the satsangs were often very interesting as well. The therapies were mostly excellent, though it might be beneficial to occasionally re-evaluate therapists to help them improve, though this may be my personal perspective as a massage therapist myself. Dr. Ramadas is a gem. Anyway, thank you all so much.

The journey to Vaidyagrama may have been long but the rewards have been out of this world. All my hopes, dreams and expectations have been so expertly taken care of. My body feels well, my mind calm and my spirit enthused. I feel nurtured and nourished which is wonderful and was much needed.
Dr Sreeji has been a fountain of kindness and understanding, all the doctors have been charming, deeply wise and knowledgeable, and the sharing of their knowledge through satsang reinforces the experience for the patient. The compassion shown by doctors and therapists has made me feel cared for in a unique way and the personal attention has always been very sweet, kind and gentle, a theme that runs through the entire Vaidyagrama experience and shown by staff in all the various departments.
The good intentions and noble cause of the village is evident in every area of life here. I particularly loved being in beautiful natural surroundings with an abundance of wildlife, where no chemicals are used, where spiritual practice is gently encouraged, yoga offered, lessons and communal activities provided and beautiful food to nourish all. Cow protection and the sublime Sri Dhanvantari Temple have given me a peaceful mind and a happy heart.
Thank you all. Love…

I had no expectations of Vaidyagrama or Panchakarma. My sister recommended Vaidyagrama to us. The only decision leading to come here was our call with Dr Harikumar, who said, “You overthink, just come here and I will tell you a remedy for a happy life.” From that moment, my heart had a yearning to reach Vaidyagrama.
I reached here on 13th February. Our first meal was rice kanji and greengram dal. Though I am not overly fond of greengram, the amla added the flavor needed to make the meal so delicious. Even today I look forward to the amla. Who knew the humble amla could add so much to a simple meal! Not to forget the sweetest papaya, bananas, ghee rice, buttermilk and more. Every meal, though simple and without masala, had so much character. My body and mind have never felt better. Though I may crave other foods, my body and mind are now aligned.
Dr Ramadas, Dr Anjana, Shobha, Lakshmi Amma—I will miss my smiling therapist warriors who balanced my doshas with so much love. I came battered and I am going back whole and on a path of healing. The pearls of wisdom I have taken from all of you are now part of my life. Pooja mornings and evenings, satsangs, yoga nidra and guidance from Liyakath, along with the environment, birds, gardens and animals, all contributed to my healing. I am filled with gratitude and thank each and every one of you.

How to describe my stay here? First, there is the perfect environment—the village sits in the middle of Nature, where we can hear birds singing and the wind blowing through the leaves, and see peacocks, making it a true paradise.
The synergy of the staff makes the healing experience manifest in many ways, as each person has their role and performs it beautifully, from cooking and cleaning staff to therapists and doctors. Secondly, there is the Science of Ayurveda, an integrative way to consider the human body, mind and spirit, which I may not be able to fully explain but have truly experienced. Thirdly, because of the values, ethics, environment and quality of treatment, people feel grounded, and it becomes a joyful gathering. Fourthly, the doctors are knowledgeable, kind, and caring, and I especially thank Dr. Om and Dr. Rahul for their dedication, patience, and insightful guidance. Last but not least, if you come at a certain time of year, it becomes even more perfect. While all these elements were wonderful, as with any place, nothing is perfect.
Thank you to the whole team—it has been a truly nourishing detox experience, and may this place continue to flourish and benefit people from near and far.
My warmest wishes.

Dear Vaidyagrama staff, thank you for a restful two and a half weeks. I feel lighter and more energized after my stay, and I now have more clarity about what is happening in my body and what is causing the imbalances. The doctors are knowledgeable and take their time to explain and answer questions, and the staff have been friendly, nurturing and kind, including the ground staff with whom I had many positive interactions.
I enjoyed the food, tea and fruit, which suited my preference for mild flavors. The room was spacious and regularly cleaned. My only concern is that the curtain in Room 507 is a bit short, affecting privacy, especially with the fan on, and it could be made longer.
The gardens, temples, and layout are beautiful and thoughtfully designed. Overall, I had a wonderful experience, though I had some dissatisfaction with the laundry, as clothes did not always come back fully clean and sometimes had stains, especially from treatment powders.
Thank you again for creating such an amazing healing center, and I look forward to returning in November 2026.
My warmest wishes,

These last 12 days at Illam 10 in the beautiful Vaidyagrama, that was a home and retreat, have been enriching and humbling at the same time. The love and care with which each and every one has handled our treatment was heartwarming. You all managed to gently nudge me into the Ayurvedic lifestyle, and I could not be happier. Special thanks to Dr. Ardent, Dr. Harikumar, and the very caring therapists Suraiya and Greeshma, who patiently took care of me. Thank you for everything—I am very grateful for it all.

I had such a lovely (first-time) experience at this healing centre called Vaidyagrama. I am leaving with the feeling of being healed at the physical level and at the mental level. Starting the day so early with a visit to the holy Dhanvantari temple, followed by a prayer to me, was most special.
Dr. Ramadas has such a spiritual energy, and this is something I will always remember every morning and evening. Yoganidra gave the much-needed midday relaxation. Satsang was so special and gave me insight into how I behave with food and how I should behave going forward. Dr. Om Prakash was so patient; I would pull out a lot of questions every day, and he took the time to reply, and I gained so many insights at every consultation. Dr. Rose, my illam doctor, is so loving and caring, always smiling and positive. My therapists, Shyni, Devika, and Dhanya, and Dr Sreeji, too, were so patient in the few interactions with them. Both the younger therapists are as delightful as Chechi Shyni, and they would make me feel so comfortable in the treatment room.
Everyone has so much humanity and respect for each other here at Vaidyagrama, something I carry back with me. Immense gratitude to all who work to make this experience possible for us. I got some pranayama and dieting tips from Dr. Liyaqat, and this will now be part of my daily routine. Once again, a big thank you to all. Some changes or improvements, if I may suggest: quality of housekeeping and mosquito management—it was impossible to sit outside on the benches post 4 pm.

Dear Vaidyagrama Friends, Thank you so much for the wonderful experience in Vaidyagrama. We believe that Vaidyagrama is not an institution; it is a philosophy. The doctors here aim not just to treat patients but also to educate them. This helps patients to understand that their treatment during our stay at Vaidyagrama is not the end of illness; it is a beginning to lead a healthy and fulfilled life.
I would like to thank all the stakeholders of Vaidyagrama, from the doctors to the therapists. Everyone was very supportive and helpful. I am very grateful for my stay and treatment and hope to visit again. Thank you and with gratitude. Special thanks to Dr. Arun, Dr. Rose, and Dr. Sreya. I also want to mention Nimmi and Anu, who did a very good job providing treatment.

Dear Vaidyagrama, I came with my mother, and the experience has been very good. I loved Dr. Ramadas ji, Dr. Renjisha, the other doctors, satsangs, chanting in the morning and evening, puja, homa, therapists, staff, and the treatment, love and care I received. One area for improvement would be cleanliness, as I experienced cockroaches in my room every other day, and it would be great if this is addressed in the future.
All therapists did a very good job. Prema was my favourite therapist and took extra time to help with my problem areas, and Manju was my mother’s favourite therapist, very caring and excellent in her work. Kesiya was very helpful in all aspects, and the rest of the therapists were also supportive, though I may not remember all their names. A big thank you to all the therapists—no one has taken care of us like them.
Thank you, Vaidyagrama, and we will see you again.

Dr. Mojin and Dr. Kavya took good care of me and were available whenever I needed them, arranging everything I asked for. Dr. Ramanandan is outstanding—he listens actively and is very perceptive. This is a beautiful place, and I will come back again.

Dear beautiful & wonderful VG staff,
What an amazing, magical, and powerful month it has been! I arrived feeling depleted, stressed and unwell, and now after 30 days I feel lighter, more rested and healthier. There were ups and downs, but at every step I felt supported, cared for, and guided. Dr. Hima has been a delight to work with—gentle, diligent, reassuring and always smiling, with remarkable expertise. Thanks also to Sreeji for her constant care.
The Ekanta therapy staff felt like family—always attentive, kind and caring. Dr. Vinod provided transformative care for my mind, body and spirit, making me feel seen and valued, with noticeable daily improvements. Athira, Madhu, Deepthi, and all staff were like angels—graceful and supportive.
The prayers, ceremonies, temple and satsangs were deeply healing. One challenge was occasional noise from other guests, and clearer quiet-time guidelines may help. I also felt concerned seeing some dogs tied with short chains and seemed without water, and it would be wonderful if they had more freedom and care. Thank you for all the love, care and healing energy, and gratitude to the lineage of Ayurveda and its wisdom.
With love,

Vaidyagrama! This trip to India, I didn’t plan to visit Vaidyagrama, however, I am here at this beautiful,’ in tune with Nature and rejuvenation’ place. Everything here is amazing. The routine and structure are nothing I could ever ask for. Warmly welcomed by the receptionists by hearing “Namaste ji,” such beautiful words and the work they provide here is outstanding.
The doctors are skilful, experienced and experts in their field. I was seen by Dr. Vinod and his team. The care, treatments, advice and guidelines I receive here are overwhelming. Also, it is 24 hours care. I come from a Western country, but I’ve never seen such passionate care as is performed in Vaidyagrama. Of course, the therapists, they are young but they deliver treatments with long time experience and full of knowledge. Plus, they are very confident in what they are doing. When my pain was aggravated, one of the therapists called Addaiva ji said, “Don’t worry, we will heal you, you will be healed here, we all are family here.” Those words mean everything to me and she means everything to me as well.
The busy kitchen always serves better and healthy food. I can see their effort to give nourishment to each of the patients based on their diet. Also, in-house laundry is provided. So, when you are in Vaidyagrama, you just need to focus on your wellbeing and healing, the rest is taken care of by Vaidyagrama and their passionate staff. Housekeeping is every day and the staff are friendly too. I like Sumithaji; she does things in a particular way.
There are some activities running on a daily basis: satsangs run by doctors, prayers, herbal tea making and so on. I don’t feel bored even without internet. I have a schedule to get treatment throughout the day. Life at Vaidyagrama is completely different from the life I have been living. The Nature surrounding and birds chirping are one of the qualities in Vaidyagrama. Varieties of species of birds in Vaidyagrama you can witness. My words are not enough to express my experiences and joyful moments in Vaidyagrama. I love and enjoy being in Vaidyagrama. I can feel my health has improved. I will miss all this experience in Vaidyagrama and will cherish it.
Above all, I got a grand chance to take a picture with Dr. J.M. Sampath, he is a co-founder of Vaidyagrama. Such a wonderful experience as I am a big fan of him. Special big thanks to Dr. Vinod ji, Dr. Prameela ji, Dr. Rajesh ji, Dr. Anjana ji and all of my therapists from Illam-9. With much love and respect to all of the staff here in Vaidyagrama. Big bow down to Vaidyagrama!

Om Sai Ram. I have no words to express my thanks to the Vaidyagrama family, doctors, therapists, and surrounding staff, all cheerful and helpful. My stay was very helpful and useful and I also found lots of pain in my feet was disappearing, but I will miss all of them when I go back to Mumbai.
I am and will always be thankful to God and the doctors here who helped me to overcome my foot pain. God bless Vaidyagrama and good wishes from me. My stay has been wonderful. Also, I thank the resident priests performing Aartis and Shiv puja (my deity). I forgot to mention peacocks, natural birds and the environment, lovely Shiva temples. I enjoyed cow puja, respect to Mother Cow, out of this world, cannot express.

Dear All, we came here for the first time for Ayurveda Panchakarma. We really enjoyed our stay here and learnt a lot of new things. Doctors have been kind and knowledgeable. Therapists have also been hardworking and take good care during treatments. We really enjoyed going to prayers and aarti early in the morning. Going to the temple and meeting Panditji was always very special for us. Attending havans was an amazing and peaceful experience.
One thing which could be improved is the management of mosquitoes, as that was the most difficult part of stay. I have had to leave satsangs in the middle as it was impossible to sit there. Overall a great experience and stay for us. Thanks to everyone!

This is my first time visit to Vaidyagrama. Although I came here as an attender, the expertise of Dr Sajna and team gave me the confidence to become a patient for taking care of simple biological metabolic imbalances. The holistic mind-body-soul approach from treatments to eating creates an authentic vibe.
I truly value the organic ecosystem found here and the warmth of everyone from apex doctors to drivers and therapists bring a good vibration. I love the patient-friendly Dr Sajna team, Dr Rajesh, especially Dr Anjana and lovable therapist Shobha. However I noticed a shortage of therapists which leads to frequent rotation and loss of information in patient handover. Also, the turnaround time for essentials could be faster. Improving here would perfectly complement the world-class core you provide.
Thank you all Vaidyagrama family.

This was our second visit, and it was wonderful. Our family has grown since the last time. This time we came with our toddler, and he loves this place. The birds, especially the peacocks, the cows and the flowers—he loves them all. He made a few friends here, and I think he will miss all of them, especially Devika. He now thinks that Vaidyagrama is his home. As for me, I loved the fact that we were close to Brahmakamalam this time so that I could go there anytime.
The therapists were great and quite attentive. Thanks a lot to Shyni, Dhanya, Greeshma, Devika, and Anu for taking such good care of my mother and me. And thanks a lot to Dr. Rose for taking such good care of us and taking the time to listen to us with much patience and compassion—your smile is truly contagious. I am unable to thank everyone individually. Thanks a lot to Dr. Harikumar for explaining a lot of things about our health and Ayurveda. This time I learned a lot more about Ayurveda. The satsangs were great and informative. Overall, this time our stay felt more like a family vacation for us, with my husband, my mother, my toddler, his nanny, and me—all of us under the same roof while trying to heal ourselves. Much love!!

Grateful for an extraordinary community founded on love, care and deep healing. It is a light in the dark, just as a lighthouse guides ships to a safe harbour. All the staff—from the doctors and the cleaners to the therapists and the cooks—have shown deep commitment, beautiful smiles and expertise that allowed us to feel trust and respect. This is as important as the medicine and massages. We go with deep appreciation and warmth towards everyone here — remarkable!

Thank you for all the love and care, dear doctors and crew. It touched me deeply, and the whole of Vaidyagrama’s Vision in action is such a “light of love” in this troubled world we live in. For me, it was a journey of trust—the time here, trust in Ayurveda, in the doctors, and in my body and mind. I feel rejuvenated and lighter, and I know you are here, and I am happy. Big thanks to you.

Very authentic Ayurveda treatment with dedicated therapists and a very good team of doctors. The treatment quality was excellent, and the sattvik food was good. It was a wholesome detox for both body and mind. It would be helpful to have brighter lighting in the rooms for reading, and the presence of many lizards in the room needs to be addressed.

Thank you for taking care of me during these past three weeks. I am grateful I got to experience such a beautiful space with so many hardworking individuals dedicated to well-being. Special thanks to Dr. Rose, Devika, Dhanya, and Shreya for taking care of me during treatments, and of course to Dr. Ramanandan for all the knowledge shared and counselling. During my stay, I especially enjoyed the satsangs and pooja. The food was very delicious too (I like plain tastes). I felt comfortable in my room, except for the first few days when there was an ant infestation, but it was eventually taken care of. Getting used to the mosquitoes was a bit hard, and sometimes it was noisy at night because of phone alarms from other units.
In terms of general recommendations for the future: having a more standard procedure for measuring jam medicines, as the quantity I got varied from time to time; shifting the emphasis from “staying positive” to keeping emotions balanced, because from my experience we cannot stay positive forever—negative thoughts eventually come, and we should learn to accept them without getting attached; and having basic Tamil phrase sessions so that non-locals can communicate better with the staff. Thanks again for everything. I will treasure all the wonderful thoughts and energies I received from everyone here and strive to do my part in making the world a happy, healthy, and loving place.

Dear Vaidyagrama, we have heard so much positive feedback from friends and family and finally experienced it ourselves, 15 days of care, compassion and positive energy from everyone we have met here. Doctors Vinod ji, Sajna ji, Rajesh ji and Anjana ji have been patient and listened to our cases and spent a lot of time with us to really understand. Thank you for your time and expertise. All our therapists at Cluster 3—Sajith, Ranjith, Rahitha, Jyothika, Shiny, Addaiva, Binu—all with healing hands and always a smile.
Thank you. To the kitchen staff, we loved the food, simple yet flavourful, light on the tummy. The outside environment, the orchestra of birds, peacocks and the greenery were so soothing for the soul. All the satsangs, Yoga Nidra, pujas and prayers were uplifting for the mind, intellect and body. Everything and everyone from reception, desk, accounts, cleaners and other support staff have been superlative. We go back feeling lighter, calmer and knowing that our healing journey is progressing positively. We also got to meet so many other guests from around the world and learnt from one another. A wonderful community. Kudos to Dr Ramkumar and his team for creating this healing village and we will be back for sure.
Warm regards and may Vaidyagrama keep shining…

Words cannot truly express my gratitude for what Vaidyagrama has done for my health. I genuinely believe that everyone should experience this place, especially if they are dealing with any kind of physical or mental ailment. I arrived here two weeks ago feeling weak, stressed and in considerable pain. I leave feeling stronger, energetic and with a calm and balanced mind. The transformation has been remarkable.
Dr Harikrishnan and his entire team have done exceptional work in taking care of me. Their dedication and attention for each patient for all these years is commendable. Dr Anjana is incredibly kind and attentive throughout my stay, always with a smile, ensuring every aspect of my treatment was thoughtfully managed and very professional. A big thank you to all the therapists who are humble, disciplined and very professional. Vaidyagrama not only healed me, but taught me so much about my life and lifestyle. The environment, food and water are perfect for anyone looking to truly get healed. Vaidyagrama is perhaps one of the finest healing centers in India or possibly in the world.
P.S. Thank you to the housekeeping, cooks and backend/accounts team for making it a lovely and healthy stay. Keep smiling. Thank you and with lots of love.

I feel gratitude beyond words for the people at Vaidyagrama—so much care, love and professionalism every single day. The treatments have been so healing, and I definitely want to come back. A special big thank you to Sindhu and Princy for your presence and dedication in everything you do, and your wonderful treatment; Dr. Akshita for, with her loving heart, looking after me every day and making sure I am okay; and Dr. Vinod for all your knowledge and care. I have so much looked forward to every meeting—it has been a blessing for body, mind and soul to be here. I have loved Yoga Nidra, the morning prayers, your Vision and the fantastic architecture. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you wonderful people.

I could manage only 6 days here at this lovely place. I will definitely come back to Vaidyagrama. Staff, doctors, cleaners, therapists— every single person displays professionalism, warmth and is super efficient, hospitable, kind and diligent. The experience I was given by this amazing temple of wellness has been incredible. I feel nourished mentally and physically.
My heart is full of gratitude and praise. I have learnt and experienced so much in the past 6 days—spiritually and some knowledge of Ayurveda. I thank every person, each and every one, for making this journey of 6 days so complete and fulfilling. I feel healthy and clean. I wish everyone abundance of gratitude and love. God bless. Thank you to my lovely doctors and caretakers—see you soon.

It is hard to find fault with the standard of care and diligence of all staff, from medical directors to the ladies who take care of the rooms. There is no question in my mind that I have benefited from the two weeks at Vaidyagrama. The surroundings, wonderfully peaceful, further enhance the experience. If there was one wish that could be made, it would be for more appealing cuisine, but maybe that is not compatible with the treatments.

Truly there are no adequate words to express my deepest gratitude and profound thanks. I knew that this was going to be one of the great gifts of my life, and indeed it was. Dr. Rose, Dr. Vinod, and all of their amazing attendants provided the utmost care and expertise in helping to transform my life into even greater levels of purification and peace. This beautiful healing sanctuary permeates love, care and deep respect for the patient and for all life forms, and for this I am eternally grateful. Thank you! I shall return. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om.

I’m writing this with a lot of emotion in my heart. When I first came to the place, little did I realize that I would not feel like leaving it. The place is what it is because of the truly warm people around. Dr Sajna has always made sure to be there and responded to my messages in a matter of minutes. Dr Anjana felt more pain than I probably did during the tough phases of my treatment and felt more like a friend I could vent to. Dr Om Prakash lit the room wherever he was and made me feel part of it. Swami Anna made sure I actually ate and didn’t skip my meals. Therapists Athira, Lakshmi and Addaiva cared deeply. Dr Rajesh listened intently and went beyond his role to help me, including bringing coconut water. I am relearning after neglecting myself all these years. While I was living all those years, in retrospect I am not sure I was fair to myself. I now understand what to eat, what to wear and what to surround myself with.
Quite importantly, I feel like I have a super powerful ecosystem supporting me. I am going to deeply miss the rustle of the trees, the satsangs and the ever-inviting smiling staff. Here’s wishing Vaidyagrama 500+ more years of existence for mankind. Thank you.

What a world treasure Vaidyagrama is—a crown jewel of Ayurveda, steeped in spiritual forces, traditions, elements, and a wellspring of wisdom. It all comes together as a masterpiece! I was here just a year ago for 3 weeks, and again now for 2 weeks—a little easier the second time. It always feels like a prayer marathon as much as a healing journey. What’s remarkable is how many people who work here remember me; the care and friendship are so nourishing and enlivening.
Special thanks to Indu, Arya, and Adhira—beautiful, talented, devoted Ayurveda body workers and medicine makers. You win the highest praise. Thanks to Dr. Om and Dr. Anupama for their warm, intelligent, nuanced and delightful guidance—I look forward to following up. And the priest provides so much special care and wisdom. My personal practice is so inspired and enriched by my time here. Truly, the people who work here grace us with their commitment to our healing. Thank you—being able to come here as a patient and pilgrim is the greatest blessing. All love and highest praise.

Thank you so much to all the staff at Vaidyagrama, especially the lovely staff in Illam 3. Thank you, thank you to Dr. Kavya and Dr. Renjisha—her smiling face every day made things easier. The first three days were challenging for me, but I am so glad I stayed. I am very grateful to Dr. Om for his care, his precise answers to all my many questions, and his knowledge. I really enjoyed Yoga Nidra and the lovely energy of Dr. Li. A very special thank you to Vasanthamani for making my little prayer altar special every day. I am leaving today, on my 58th birthday, feeling calm, relaxed, more grounded, and with the tools and information to keep my health and well-being a priority when I return home. I will be back. Thank you!

I love my stay at Vaidyagrama, loved the food, the treatments and the attentiveness of Dr Hari Kumar, Dr Sajna, Dr Anjana and a junior female doctor with glasses whose name I do not remember - but she was very compassionate, and it is obvious that all doctors love their work. The place is nice, quiet and full of Nature and space to relax. Treatments were fantastic. I would like to thank all the therapists, particularly Sandhya Vinod and Shyni Mol for their always professional attitude and superb attention to their work and to their patients. Wishing healing to all who come to the center. Thank you.

I have had a great experience at Vaidyagrama Healing Village. We reached for the right program to be taken care of, and this one stood out as the real deal. Everyone was pure joy and very professional. Many thanks to Dr. Anupama, Dr. Vinod, and Dr. Ardent—they listened and tailored my care. I have many complicated conditions, and Dr. Vinod took his time to craft a care plan that my body could handle. Many thanks to the therapists in the care team—Girish, Ganesh, Abhijith, Lalu, and Biju—they were awesome, especially Girish. The rest of the team were excellent and attentive. The satsangs were informative, and the prayers were enriching.
I will be coming back and highly recommend Vaidyagrama. Also, it was very enriching to meet people from all over the world with the same goals of healing ourselves and the world. Thank you.

I feel like I have been deeply blessed. My 21 days here have been the most wholesome, nourishing, and spiritual experience of my life. I am deeply grateful to my doctors, Dr. Ramdas, Dr. Kavya, and Dr. Renjisha. Dr. Kavya, in particular, gave me so much attention and love, and Dr. Ramdas inspired me with his words and beautiful spiritual energy. My therapists Prema, Kavita, and Daksha were incredibly kind, gentle and professional. Dr. Li helped me cope with the emotions that arose during this time and guided me toward spiritual awareness, which has been an unexpected but beautiful addition to my time at VG.
I leave with the understanding that health is much more than physical well-being, and that only through daily spiritual practice, managing the ego and mind, and treating my body with love and respect will I be able to flourish and continue my dharma as a guardian of nature. From the heart, thank you VG team.

Liebe Vaidyagrama-Familie, ich war das erste Mal hier und wusste nicht, was mich erwartet. Was ich hier fand, ist einzigartig. Es ist wie eine Glasglocke über dem Zentrum—hier herrscht Ruhe und so viel Liebe, Freundlichkeit und Respekt allem gegenüber. Das entspricht mir sehr. Ich bin beeindruckt von der Philosophie, die hier gelebt wird und wie das Zentrum erweitert und ergänzt wird, insbesondere für schwächere Menschen und Menschen in schwierigen Situationen, denen hier ein Platz geboten wird, damit sich ihr Leben zum Positiven verändern kann. Wenn doch viel mehr Menschen auf unserer wunderschönen Welt in den Ansätzen so leben würden! Das ganze Team beeindruckt mich mit dieser Herzlichkeit und Liebe, die sie ausstrahlen. Ich habe in meinem Leben so viele Krankenhäuser erlebt—hier herrscht eine große Professionalität der Ärzte und des gesamten Teams. Ich spüre an meinem Körper bereits eine deutliche Verbesserung und freue mich auf alles, was noch positiv kommen wird. In großer Dankbarkeit.

Vaidyagrama is special. This was my second time here, and I feel the same—being here was the best thing I have done for myself. The environment, the chirping birds, trees, and warm staff, along with the prayers and satsangs, created a calming, zen-like space. I enjoyed all of it. I always had a list of questions for Dr. Vinod, and he took the time to listen carefully and answer them until I understood and learned. Dr. Rose and Dr. Jayan were amazing in the care they gave me. Therapists Bindu, Viji and Greeshma were sincere and caring in my treatments. Most of all, I saw improvements in my body, and seeing that in an incurable disease felt like a miracle, for which I am eternally grateful.

Hey, this is Sandhya from Nagapattinam. I stayed here for 21 days. The experience is great. This is our second visit. Dr Ramanadan, Dr Om Prakash and Dr Anjana were incredibly kind and attentive. They listened carefully, answered all my questions and made me feel at ease throughout my visit. They truly care about their patients and take time to explain the diagnosis in simple terms and focus on finding the root cause of the problem. The therapists and staff checked on me regularly and made me feel very comfortable. They are courteous, helpful and responsive. The environment is clean, comfortable and safe.
I would like to thank the therapist team who treated me all days with great care and respect. They are very polite and make one feel comfortable. Laundry and housekeeping are good. Now my stress level is 0 percent. It is truly an amazing feeling to stay here. The economical value is the best part of choosing Vaidyagrama Ayurveda.
My best wishes to them. Thank you everyone with love,

Dear Vaidyagrama, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I did not know what I was carrying. Every meal, every treatment and every kind interaction shone a light so I could see and heal each layer as it came. I feel like a different person, but really I am a slimmed-down version of who I truly am. It was a big step for me to learn to be cared for after 15 years of motherhood and 10 years of illness. I trusted your hands and I am so grateful I landed in them.
Much love..

I came to Vaidyagrama as part of a group of nine Swiss people. To be honest, I was not quite sure what to expect, as I had never undergone Ayurveda treatment before, so I was a bit hesitant at first. However, I was pleasantly surprised in every way—by the highly qualified medical staff, the wonderful therapists, the friendly and helpful housekeeping staff, the spiritual practices, and the social commitment of Vaidyagrama.
I wholeheartedly recommend Vaidyagrama.

A big thank you to Dr. Ramanandan, who is amazing, and to Dr. Arun and Dr. Shreya, who took such good care of me. To my therapists Bindu and Nimmi, who did a great job in my healing process, thank you. To Devaki, who would sometimes come to check on my treatment, thanks. I have really enjoyed the morning satsang, going to the Dhanvantari temple, and the peace and quiet one experiences at Vaidyagrama. I hope to return soon.

I very much appreciate how the staff went above and beyond to help me recover from a severe inflammatory attack in my feet and knees. They helped connect me with doctors, blood tests, and other diagnostic tools to understand the cause of my pain. Although I was unable to complete the full treatment and stayed only 10 of the planned 21 days, the care and consideration shown during one of the most painful experiences of my life were deeply appreciated. I am especially grateful to Dr. Mojin, who stayed in constant contact and even accompanied me to the hospital, organizing wheelchairs and other support to help me access care. I would love to return in the future for further treatment. One area for improvement would be the speed of food and medicine delivery to the houses, as it was sometimes slow, though understandable, and improving logistics in this area would be beneficial.

In every little thing I could see how vigilant and proper she is. I am filled with gratitude towards everyone. I want to thank Dr Harikrishnan and Dr Anjana for all your care, kindness and patience for me. I am feeling much better because of you. Thank you so much.

The dedication, care, and love you have showered on me will always remain with me forever. I particularly want to thank Satish and his team for the hard work they have put in to make me better, Dr. Shreya for holding my hand, Dr. Om Prakash, Dr. Arun, and Dr. Ramanandan for their loving care and confidence, and all the staff of Vaidyagrama and the birds for soothing my heart.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, it is remarkable how in three weeks I have truly felt like I have been embraced into a family, and each one of you feels like part of my own family—my body, my mind, and my spirit have felt like a smooth flowing river receiving showers of care, love, and insights from each one of you. I have truly been touched by Dr. Ramanandan, Dr. Anuradha, Dr. Shreya, Dr. Arun, Prabhu, Bindu, Viji, Nimmi, Akhila, Anu, and everyone in the front desk and back office.
Sandeep and I return home with a lot of gratitude for what you have all taught us, and admiration for how the vidya of Ayurveda and its depths are brought into practice here. We also return with determination to continue the treatment and apply all that we have learned here in our everyday lives. I cannot thank Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Anupama enough for giving us so much confidence, care, and for being so immensely patient with all our questions.
This is truly a divine space—the devotion of the team, the attention to the smallest detail, and the joy with which work happens here seamlessly, all witnessed by the peacocks, paradise flycatcher, and blooming hibiscus all over. We will return again.
With love and blessings.

If we eat food with proper discipline and control, diseases can be avoided. If we overeat or eat without following rules, it leads to the accumulation of toxins (ama) in the body. Food should be taken at the right time, in the right quantity, and according to one’s digestive capacity. Irregular eating habits disturb digestion and lead to disease. Therefore, by maintaining discipline in food and lifestyle, one can protect health and prevent illness.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, thank you so much for choosing this path and working so hard. Vaidyagrama looks at a person in a truly holistic manner, which I deeply appreciate, as people come here with emotional and mental burdens and are given space to release them. I loved the thoughtful design of this place, with so many activities and such care for patients during this intense journey. Initially, I wondered about the number of prayers, but now I understand how they help support transformation. One suggestion is that therapists sometimes seemed overworked, which could lead to mistakes, and it may help to have dedicated staff for medicines and food. There are small areas for improvement, especially before expansion, but the quality of care is excellent and should be maintained. Lots of love and blessings to the whole community—may all beings be happy.

I spent the most serene one week here. For that and for the wonderful treatments, I am extremely grateful to the entire staff of Vaidyagrama. Dr. Vinod was extremely kind, receptive and engaging. I will think fondly of our discussions and am grateful for the knowledge he shared with me. Dr. Akshita and Dr. Ardent were extremely sweet and helpful and made this journey comforting as well as interesting. The therapists were extremely courteous and dedicated to their jobs. The wonderful smiles on Saranya, Vincy and Greeshma’s faces always made my day better and I will definitely miss their warm energy. Big kudos to the housekeeping staff who were always upbeat, helpful and courteous.
This journey would not have been nearly as fruitful without the contribution of each and every one of you. Throughout my days here, I always looked forward to meeting the resident peacock and also Patti. Eternally grateful for the people and the beautiful environment. Thanks a lot. Lots of love.

The warmth of all the members of staff, with their professionalism and efficiency, really makes the experience better. The validity of courses is incredible with their depth and breadth of knowledge only augmented by the junior doctors. My sincere thanks to all the therapists, housekeeping staff and the admin staff for ensuring that I had a good stay with no shortcomings. Looking forward to continuing the healing journey with Vaidyagrama.

This was my first visit, and the experience has truly been wonderful and memorable. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of calm and care that stayed with me throughout my journey. Dr Suruchi was incredibly kind, attentive and patient. She took the time to understand all my concerns in detail and explained everything clearly, which made me feel comfortable and confident about the treatment. Dr Arun, I sincerely thank you for your dedication. You went deep into understanding each of my problems, explained the root cause in simple terms and guided me with care and commitment. A special thanks to all the therapists who took care of me with warmth and compassion. I would also like to appreciate the management for maintaining such a clean, peaceful and well-organized environment. I am truly grateful for this experience.

I am sitting and staring at this page, thinking where to start thanking you all, how deeply I feel, but words are limited to express my gratitude in this state that I am in. From the smallest gestures of welcoming me at an odd check-in time by a doctor to the meticulous effort of ensuring every meal, tea, and medicine is delivered exactly to my specific needs and recommendations, I was humbled by the inspiring gardeners working tirelessly as if it were not just a job. Even the animals, birds, and insects felt like they were on a mission of warmly welcoming everyone who comes in contact with VG. Special thanks to each and every one. Gratitude to every living creature in and around the campus. It really helped me reconnect and find my ground. Warm smiles, gentle greetings, caring intent—an absolute healing haven created and nurtured by you is a benchmark and a legacy in the making for centuries to come. Till next time we cross paths, you have nourished my soul. Gratitude and love.

Dearest Vaidyagrama, what a special place this is. From before I even got here, to the course of all of my treatments, to the very end, I have been impressed and blown away by the level of professionalism, integrity, values and true devotion to the ancient practice of Ayurveda that all of the staff show. The passion that comes through from the doctors is really incredible. And there is a deep commitment to the patients that I saw from all of the staff.
I am so grateful for Dr. Sreeji, Dr. Akshita, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Om and Dr. Ardent for all of the care you took to ensure that I was receiving the best treatment for my conditions. Dr. Sreeji carefully designed my treatment plan in consideration of all of my ailments, adjusting as needed, and immediately communicating any updates to my junior doctor, Dr. Akshita. Thank you, Dr. Sreeji. Dr. Akshita faithfully checked on me each morning and responded promptly to any of my requests. She demonstrated the utmost professionalism and courtesy, validated my concerns and was always kind. Thank you, Dr. Akshita. And to my beloved therapists—Sindhu, Princy and Athira—I love you three.
You were always there to greet me with a warm-hearted smile and such love and tenderness during my treatments. You tended to me like a mother tends to her child. You always brought me my medicine and food on time, and I cannot express how much you meant to me during my Panchakarma. I felt so well taken care of. I will miss you.
To the amazing reception staff, thank you for your kindness, patience and care. I will miss you Madhu, Deepti and Sumati. Thank you to my room cleaners for your warmth and care, to the laundry staff, and to all of the doctors who deliver multiple satsangs every day and beautiful prayers of chanting for all of us to benefit from. Thank you to the temple priests. Thank you to the kitchen staff for preparing delicious and healthy food day in and day out for everyone. Thank you to the admin and all of the rest of the staff for everything you do. My deepest gratitude.

Dear Vaidyagrama family, where to begin! I came with few expectations but an open mind, and deep down there was a sense of hope for my deep-rooted health issues, and that has indeed been fulfilled. The medicine, food, and treatments were so well curated and carefully explained by Dr. Om Prakash. I felt cared for in a way that no doctor or medical team has ever cared for me before. Beyond the physical care, what truly stood out was the emphasis on nourishing the mind, heart, and soul along with the body. Understanding that healing is Nature-driven and essential to living one’s dharma and creating positive karma was a revelation for me. I am grateful to the people who prepared and served everything with such care. The entire team embodied peace, trust, kindness, and compassion. I felt deeply connected to Nature and the healing flow around me. I leave with immense gratitude.

I will recommend this place and its treatments to my friends. I feel it has truly helped me and will help me become healthier and more relaxed. I also learned a lot about Ayurvedic principles, and how they are deeply connected with spirituality, which makes me happy. I felt at home with all the friendly and welcoming people around. I hope to come again soon and wish all of you the very best. I will also try to inspire people to create something similar in my country—a spiritual community with Ayurveda—and perhaps invite your team to guide us.

I would love to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the entire team of doctors and therapists who took such wonderful care of me.
Dr. Vinod Ji’s depth of experience, extensive knowledge and unwavering dedication to healing are truly exceptional. What stood out most is his rare ability to clearly see and meet each patient exactly where they are.
Dr. Akshita’s compassion, kindness, professionalism and willingness to do all that is needed to facilitate healing, were deeply impressive.
And the therapists — the ever-joyful Sindhu, the prettiest Athira ji, and the truly loving Princy ji — you made me feel at home and helped me relax and surrender to the healing process, especially after the initial difficulties.
May you all be well and happy. May many more patients get the opportunity to receive your care and healing. What you do is not just treatment — it is helping others find their way back home, and that is one of the most meaningful things a person can do!
Thank you a million.

A friend told me about Vaidyagrama. This is my first time here. I met Aparna who is very nice. I really enjoyed being here. The atmosphere is very positive.
All the doctors here are very soft-spoken and easy-going, especially Dr. Vinod and Dr. Akshita. I speak Hindi, and I had a wonderful time with these doctors. Twenty-one days passed without my realizing it. I also had a wonderful time with Dr. Hima, Dr. Anupama, and Dr. Ardent. All of them were very helpful.
The therapists here are very good. Vincy, Greeshma, Suranya, Indu and the other staff members work very honestly. The cleaning staff also does their work very neatly. The atmosphere here is so good that sometimes a person feels at home.
I wasn’t scared. I would love to come back next year. Thank you very much to all of you.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the wonderful experience I had during my stay. I am truly moved by the profound wisdom of Ayurveda and deeply grateful for the exceptional care provided by the doctors. The dedication and activities of this center has left me feeling incredibly inspired.
I would love to recommend this place to many others.
Suggestions:-
Regarding the meals during my third-week stay, while I was very happy with the vegetarian menu, I found that the lack of variety made me grow a bit tired of the food toward the end, and I occasionally had to leave some of my meals unfinished.

Fifth time at Vaidyagrama, and as always, I have become much better than when I arrived.
The treatments, people, and atmosphere are better every year, and this year was exceptional. The services were at an exceptional level.
The environment itself is blossoming and becoming more peaceful year after year.
A remarkable place with remarkable doctors, treatment personnel, and service personnel.

My experience here was incredible and unforgettable. I’m very impressed by all the people that work here — Bindu, Greeshma and Shruthi. All my therapists took such good care of me. I felt so good after all my treatments.
Dr. Vinod is wonderful — so knowledgeable and wise in his wisdom. He takes time to listen and decide what’s needed.
I loved all the lectures/satsangs. I found all the doctors so giving. I really loved learning all the aspects of Ayurveda.
Everything about Vaidyagrama is amazing. The peace here is restorative, and the wonderful staff and people that come and visit create a wonderful healing energy.
I leave here feeling great, and I will be back again. So much gratitude to everyone who works here. Thanks Dr. Sreya, whom I met every day, patiently…

I found Vaidyagrama to be a place for deep, holistic healing. Dr. Ramanandan’s keen observation, the therapists’ professionalism, the staff’s smiling faces, the beautiful green environment, the rooms with airy balconies, the peacocks, and the time away from everything else, helped me focus on the much-needed introspection, which in itself contributes to the healing process.
Thank you, Dr. Ramanandan, for the optimal care I received from you and for patiently answering my endless questions. And thank you, Dr. Sreenidhi, for your warm and beautiful personality.
I look forward to coming again one day.

My friend told me about Vaidyagrama when I was discussing a health condition I have. I am glad I took her advice to come here, as this has been a beautiful experience so far. My doctor and her team have been really helpful and understanding of my various concerns and questions. The staff here are really caring and helpful. I feel detoxed both physically and mentally. I would highly recommend Vaidyagrama to anyone looking for authentic Ayurveda treatments.
Everything has been great. The only issue was with bugs in the room, and I noticed that some doors do not close fully, so the bugs somehow end up coming inside.

As senior citizens, we have medical issues and were barely managing with all the side effects of allopathic medications. We were literally drifting along. Seeing our condition, my friend Shailendra Bhandari literally forced us to come to Vaidyagrama.
We had no illusions that life would be better and great after the visit. But to our surprise, it really made us enjoy our life during the 15-day stay here.
Right from the morning session when we surrender to Lord Vishnu, to the end of evening session when we surrender to Goddess Lalitha Parameswari, the entire day kept us busy with Divine thoughts humming along.
The doctors, especially Dr. Mojin and Dr. Kavya, under the guidance of Dr. Ramadas, were patient and pleasant in answering our queries, however silly they may be.
The therapists were all meticulous and sincere. Many thanks to Vaidyagrama. Many many thanks to Aneesh and Bala, who were very pleasant and cheerful while dealing with us.
A special note of thanks to Dr. Liyakath (I hope the spelling is correct), who helped me rediscover true relaxation. A big salute to him for his amazing recitation of Hanuman, which moved me to tears.
Overall, a very pleasant experience. I hope that with these pleasant thoughts, we manage our medical issues with confidence going forward.

We came here for a short while to introduce our daughter to Ayurveda and the benefits of it.

We will be back — next time for longer!

My deepest gratitude to Dr. Ramkumar, the visionary behind Vaidyagrama. Dr. Ramanandan was very patient in listening to all my concerns and designed the treatment protocol according to my needs.
I could stay only for 10 days, but despite this short visit, the ambience, Nature, and group prayers in the morning and evening made me feel blessed and healed from within. Living a stressful life in this competitive world, this serene setting helped me reset myself. I hope to continue the same when I return to my normal routine.
The therapists were exceptional and very patient in assisting us every time, right from taking us to and from the room. The satsangs were filled with valuable insights that helped us understand the Ayurveda way of living and how to lead a disease-free life.
Every day was well planned, starting from 6:15 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Kudos to Vaidyagrama!

My wife Alka Singh and I came to Vaidyagrama for treatment-cum-rejuvenation. The doctors are very good, knowledgeable and experienced. Dr. Vinod M. Govind was our consultant — a young man with clear concepts of Ayurveda principles. His knowledge of allopathic system is praiseworthy, and we found the satsangs/talks by the doctors worth attending.
The management team, including Athira ji and Aparna ji, were exceptionally well-mannered and cordial. We had a very meaningful interaction with Dr. Ramkumar ji — the visionary man behind this Ayurveda mission. I heartily congratulate him and the entire team. The therapists are also good.
Since Ayurveda has a Vedic tradition, it would be better if we followed Vedic rituals (instead of Puranic ways) in yagya/homa and prayers. Since Ayurveda has the potential to reach all over the globe, Vaidyagrama should organize talks on Indian culture occasionally.

Vaidyagrama was divine.
It smells of jasmine, citronella, and Ayurveda preparations...
The food made on an open fire and with locally grown vegetables...
The sounds of Vedic mantras vibrating in the ether...
The doctors, therapists, gardeners, cooks and cleaners, smilingly ready to give their best to make my stay a heavenly experience.
Stay the friendly and vibrant community that you are. You are truly my Ayurveda family!

My stay at Vaidyagrama was a deeply healing & transformational experience. Being here - often alone & without distractions, can be challenging, as it brings you face to face with yourself. I even had some intense dreams at the beginning, but I came to understand this as a part of the detox process.
The care I received was exceptional. While there were minor misunderstandings at first, they were resolved with genuine attention & kindness. Dr. Srinidhi is a very compassionate Vaidya with a wonderful bedside manner, & Dr. Vinod Govind brought deep knowledge & experience. I felt truly cared for by them & others who helped me as well, too many to mention. Greeshma & Bindhu were my main & amazing therapists!
I love that they also gave us cooking classes & herbal medicine preparation classes. I also appreciate the spiritual aspect of frequent poojas & prayers before each treatment daily.
Overall, I would rate Vaidyagrama 5 stars for their authentic care & commitment to healing.
Suggestions: An A/c that doesn’t get too cold (so as not to negatively affect treatment) but allows for better sleep in hot summer months. Free Wi-Fi all-hours outside the rooms. In-room can be a paid service (with schedules, it was hard to get something done online due to no access). A set time for doctors to meet with us every day (not random).

Satsangs with Dr. Ramkumar and Dr. Om Prakash were the highlights of this experience. I was very happy to be treated by Dr. Ramanandan and Dr. Rajesh. They are highly professional and skilled. Dr. Sreeji was also very kind and empathetic, as were Dr. Vinod, Chief of Yoga and Psychology, Dr. Liya, and every other doctor and therapist.
Thank you to the ladies who delivered my medicines and meals, sometimes very early in the mornings.
Some other highlights were the cows, birds, peacocks, lizards, squirrels, and the natural, elegant beauty that has been so intentionally cultivated here.
I hope to return every year. Most importantly, not only has my body benefited, but also my mind and soul.
Thank you to the chef for the delicious food. Deepthi and Sumathi — the reception was amazing as well.
A true 5-star experience!

Vaidyagrama is indeed a healing place, whether it be for physical or mental well-being.
Between the morning prayers and evening prayers, time passes peacefully. I especially enjoyed the sessions at the Mandapam — the satsangs with the doctors.
The whole concept is remarkable: a Vision of how one should live in harmony with Nature and fellow beings. If there were more places like this in Kerala, what a wonderful world it could be.
I also loved the friendliness of the staff. I have been here for 26 days, and they have passed by so quickly.
The doctors are so dedicated and passionate about their work. My heartfelt thanks to the vaidyas and all the staff.

If there is one thing that stands out about Vaidyagrama, it is the temple, the temple festivities, and the daily chanting and prayers. These practices make such a significant difference to the healing energy of the space. I love the silence at VG.
My mornings started with a walk to the Dhanvantari temple, and everything about it was lovely — the sounds and sights of the wildlife, the smell of a crisp morning, the animals all around, the flowers on the way, and the smiling staff. Homams were lovely and such a beautiful way to start the day.
Dr. Ramanandan was amazing. He was attentive and tried to address all my concerns. Some therapists were amazing, and I am very grateful to them for giving me thorough care with so much affection and warmth.
Shyni and Greeshma were particularly wonderful. My room cleaners were fantastic and hygienic. They were respectful of my privacy and did a great job.
The Go Sevas were wonderful. My medicines and food magically arrived on time every day. Dr. Sreya took so much care to ensure everything was running smoothly between therapy and consultations.
Dr. Liya also shared some wonderful insights and meditations. I really enjoyed doing my practices in the Mandapam. I also enjoyed the peacocks, birds, lizards, and squirrels around the place.
I believe that spending time away from the chaos of the city, having no internet, and immersing myself in the Vaidyagrama environment truly helped my spiritual, mental, and physical well-being. Twenty-one days felt like a week!
Special thanks and gratitude to Vishu Kani. It was my first experience here, and one I will cherish for a long time.
Deep gratitude!
Suggestions:-
If we could be notified about our therapy timings the evening before, it would also be very helpful accordingly.
I had a wonderful experience with the therapists, doctors, and the entire treatment process. However, the room I was in was not very clean, especially due to the presence of insects. Cleanliness and privacy could be improved.

My experience at Vaidyagrama was simply too good. The therapists are very experienced and handle the patients in a gentle manner.
Doctors regularly visit and enquire about our progress and condition.
Poojas and chanting at Brahmakamalam and Vaidyesvaram make the atmosphere very divine.
Discussions on Ayurveda with the doctors in the afternoon help us clear all the doubts we have about Ayurveda treatment.
I wish the staff and all the professional doctors a long and successful way ahead.
A small suggestion regarding Wi-Fi access near our room: I had taken the weekly package during my stay, but I still had to run outside near the Mandapam to answer any mail or phone call. I also faced login issues. Is it possible to install Wi-Fi range boosters in every block, but switch them on only during specific periods, such as early morning and late evening? This would help patients plan their day better, as it is difficult to remain disconnected from the outside world for two weeks. I understand the present system, but it would be great if some changes could be made to improve Wi-Fi access.

I would love to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the entire team of doctors and therapists who took such wonderful care of me.
Dr. Vinod Ji’s depth of experience, extensive knowledge and unwavering dedication to healing are truly exceptional. What stood out most is his rare ability to clearly see and meet each patient exactly where they are.
Dr. Akshita’s compassion, kindness, professionalism and willingness to do all that is needed to facilitate healing, were deeply impressive.
And the therapists — the ever-joyful Sindhu, the prettiest Athira ji, and the truly loving Princy ji — you made me feel at home and helped me relax and surrender to the healing process, especially after the initial difficulties.
May you all be well and happy. May many more patients get the opportunity to receive your care and healing. What you do is not just treatment — it is helping others find their way back home, and that is one of the most meaningful things a person can do!
Thank you a million.

A friend told me about Vaidyagrama. This is my first time here. I met Aparna who is very nice. I really enjoyed being here. The atmosphere is very positive.
All the doctors here are very soft-spoken and easy-going, especially Dr. Vinod and Dr. Akshita. I speak Hindi, and I had a wonderful time with these doctors. Twenty-one days passed without my realizing it. I also had a wonderful time with Dr. Hima, Dr. Anupama, and Dr. Ardent. All of them were very helpful.
The therapists here are very good. Vincy, Greeshma, Suranya, Indu and the other staff members work very honestly. The cleaning staff also does their work very neatly. The atmosphere here is so good that sometimes a person feels at home.
I wasn’t scared. I would love to come back next year. Thank you very much to all of you.

Suggestions:-
- There is clearly a communication gap between the staff and patients. If there were a way to improve staff-to-staff communication for all staff handling a patient, many issues could be avoided. For example, I never received an orientation beforehand, and no one knew about it until I informed them. The activity sheet in my room also had incorrect timings.
- If there were a board, pen, and paper somewhere in the dining area or patient rooms where therapists, doctors, patients, and staff could leave notes in case we were not in our rooms or had gone for an activity, it would greatly improve communication. It would also help when we could not find any staff members to leave messages for.
- I was never informed when my medicines and food were kept on the table. If there had been a bell or buzzer for notifications, along with a written note for medicines and food, it would have been very helpful.
If we could be notified about our therapy timings the evening before, it would also be very helpful accordingly.
I had a wonderful experience with the therapists, doctors, and the entire treatment process. However, the room I was in was not very clean, especially due to the presence of insects. Cleanliness and privacy could be improved.

My experience at Vaidyagrama was simply too good. The therapists are very experienced and handle the patients in a gentle manner.
Doctors regularly visit and enquire about our progress and condition.
Poojas and chanting at Brahmakamalam and Vaidyesvaram make the atmosphere very divine.
Discussions on Ayurveda with the doctors in the afternoon help us clear all the doubts we have about Ayurveda treatment.
I wish the staff and all the professional doctors a long and successful way ahead.
A small suggestion regarding Wi-Fi access near our room: I had taken the weekly package during my stay, but I still had to run outside near the Mandapam to answer any mail or phone call. I also faced login issues. Is it possible to install Wi-Fi range boosters in every block, but switch them on only during specific periods, such as early morning and late evening? This would help patients plan their day better, as it is difficult to remain disconnected from the outside world for two weeks. I understand the present system, but it would be great if some changes could be made to improve Wi-Fi access.
