1. WELCOME TO VAIDYAGRAMA
Dear friend,
Namaskar from and Welcome vaidyagrama!
We understand that you have chosen to come to vaidyagrama for healing through ayurveda.
On behalf of the entire vaidyagrama team, we are happy to welcome you to this home of ours which some people call a "hospital" and many people call a "home". We invite you to become a member of our family and to use this "healing space" to embark on a healing journey which involves not just the physical but also the mental (or emotional), the spiritual, the social and the environmental aspects of well being.
We have put in some information here on the "patient page" to help you prepare well for your arrival here. We will continue to update the information to prepare you better for the treatment.
We have a request - please do follow the advice given by us to maximise the benefit from the treatment process. We do realise that some of our advice may be difficult to follow but it is rendered in your best interest. If at any point of time, you are unable to follow our advice properly and we feel that it is detrimental to your healing process, we may be forced to stop the treatments to protect you from any undue effects. Hence please do co-operate with us in this regard. We desire to see you healthy and happy and we will put in our best efforts towards the achievement of this goal.
If you are coming to vaidyagrama after a long plane journey, you may be considerably tired; in which case, please feel free to sleep as much as you desire to get over the fatigue of the travel. It is good to get this fatigue out of the way in the first 2-4 days so that you can focus on the healing process after that.
We are here to help you; please do not hesitate to contact either of us for anything that you need during your stay here.
We wish you a pleasant healing experience.
Yours in the service of Ayurveda

2. LETTER FROM VAIDYAGRAMA community
Dear friends, patients, fellow human beings
Namaste from vaidyagrama, an initiative of punarnava ayurveda based in coimbatore in south india!
Please take time out to read this letter that comes to you from each of us who have chosen to make vaidyagrama our home.
vaidyagrama is an experimental green Ayurveda healing community borne of the desire to "live simple, live well, live healthy, live happy!" While this desire seemed to be easy to achieve, it is only at the commencement of this journey that we learnt how difficult this can be.
Nature was with us; the plants, the animals, the forces of nature were all with us. But society was not with us; the laws of the land were not with us; and most importantly we discovered a disconnect within our own selves – it was easy to talk about living life in tune with the principles of Ayurveda; it was more difficult to practice it. It was on this note that the journey began as we did the bhumi puja or the ground breaking ceremony in the month of January 2008.
Now, several years later, and wading through the midst of many obstacles, we have reached where we are now. More than 800 patients from over 50 countries have experienced the Vaidyagrama space. More than 70 of us attempt to take care of this space in as natural a way as possible; we learn every day from our mistakes. We are still in the process of creating the connect within our own selves and nature and as we progress, we are sure that this connect will become more evident in the response of the land to our efforts.
We also look forward to involving the surrounding villages in this endeavor to “live simple, live well, live healthy, live happy!” While our neighbors were initially skeptical of our efforts, today they are more inclined to listen to us and to understand what we attempt to do.
We believe that the creation of a self-sustained natural farming community built on the principles of Ayurveda is an ideal way forward in the interest of Mother Earth; and we have taken our first baby steps in this direction. We seek your support in the achievement of this process by understanding the following –

We believe that the creation of a self-sustained natural farming community built on the principles of Ayurveda is an ideal way forward in the interest of Mother Earth; and we have taken our first baby steps in this direction. We seek your support in the achievement of this process by understanding the following –
- this is not a perfect space; nature is not perfect; through the year, there will be occasions when the breeze is strong, when the heat is strong, when it is damp and so on. There is no “climate control” in nature. And hence if we choose to live in tune with nature, we endeavor to be in tune with the flows and sways of the environment around us
- none of us are perfect; we all make many different mistakes – some may be elementary; some may be complex. We will all continue to endeavor to learn from our mistakes; please be patient and help us to learn. We assure you that we would like to be “lifelong learners”. But please do not attempt to teach us to go away from nature
- some of us take longer to learn; some of us take less time to learn; however let all of us learn to be more patient, more persistent and more perseverant; thus as a group we will all learn to also be more forgiving and humble
- conventional paradigms may not be the solution at Vaidyagrama. For when we are trying to move away from chemicals, from synthetic, from machines as far as possible, how can a paradigm that works for the conventional community work in this space? we have explored many different paradigms and solutions before we reached here; we still continue to explore and learn what would be most suitable for the Vaidyagrama space; we have come to the conclusion that there is no readymade solution to learn from; we have to keep searching to create the holistic framework in which the Vaidyagrama paradigm would like to operate
- Vaidyagrama does not offer any readymade solutions to your health issues; we only offer a conducive environment to create a space within yourself whereby you can commence the process of healing
- we, here at Vaidyagrama, are a simple group; most of us are uneducated; some of us have had battered lives; many amongst us were, till recently, learning to survive through difficult situations at home and in our respective communities; it is only now that we have started to think about living healthy and living happy; hence do forgive us when we make mistakes; please do teach us but please do not get angry with us for then you will not achieve the purpose for which you came to this space
- we are still babies in the art of communicating especially in English; and hence please do ask us if the information is not clear or if you need more information; please do speak more to our physicians who can understand you better and communicate your needs to the rest of us
- we are trying to create healing relationships here; not transactional relationships. By reducing a healing relationship to a transactional relationship, we are violating the sanctity of the healing process. You are coming to a space that you can call home; in an ideal scenario, you would be contributing to the extent of your capacity to look after this home. Since today we are brought up in a transactional world and do not know to give our heart, an indicative fee structure has been put in place in Vaidyagrama to help you to know how much to give.
- there are the less fortunate amongst us who need financial support to be able to spend time in the Vaidyagrama healing space. The fact that they pay less does not mean that you are paying more. Vaidyagrama believes that nobody should have to forego the opportunity to be in this space only because of their financial limitations. And hence we choose to help those amongst you who need this support; of course Vaidyagrama has strongly adopted the value of “trust” and believes in people when they tell us that they are financially deprived
- you are most welcome to contribute more than the indicated fee if your heart so desires; it is only with the support of the larger community that this small community can reach where it intends to go
- you are not here to change us; and we are not here to change you! Each of us are here to help ourselves to heal, to grow, to evolve, and in the process to help others also to heal, to grow and to evolve
- it is best to come to this space as a family member; and to leave as a family member; the less the desire, the less the expectation, the greater the benefit on all levels
- you are coming to your home to spend a few days with family members; and leaving from here as a family member would, happy & light!
Yours in the service of humanity & Ayurveda
The Vaidyagrama community.
