Namaste & Welcome! I hope you find something useful here. After a decade of helping people overcome chronic diseases and witnessing 'miracles' time and time again, I've been asked the question: what is that one fundamental thing that helps people heal? And after a decade, I think I've come across one answer that seems to fit the equation. That is, to know yourself. To know yourself intimately. And once you know yourself, you can align yourself with winning habits, routines and practices. In fact, you can't lose if you know what's right for you. But here's how Ayurveda is radically different from western medicine and all other thought systems. The you i'm referring to is the unique You, not the collective you or the generalized you. Its you and your unique constitution - your natural patterns, tendencines, qualities and characteristics. So how can anyone make a general statement that something is good or bad for you - or how can lab numbers indicate whether you're healthy or not? Since the lab ranges are so general too. Is an apple good for you? It may or may not be. Is fasting good for you? Maybe, maybe not. Once you know yourself and your inherent qualities, you will automataically know if an apple is good for you, or if stewing it is the better way for your digestion. Once I came upon this realization, I decided that a greater impact would be to offer my services as an educator, to help people know and understand themself. The rest can be figured out with the help of other Vaidyas, and sometimes by yourself. I now offer free consults to anyone who is suffering and wants to understand their underlying imbalance and has faith in holistic healing and faith in their own ability to heal. You are your best healer. You know yourself best. Its just that you may not know what's wrong, what's causing your imbalance, pain or symptoms. I'll help you determine that from my years of ayurvedic assessments that are often spot on. It's a skill I've acquired, and I feel it my duty to use this skill to improve the health of those who need it most.
After my assessment, I'll guide you toward resources that will support you, now that you understand your root cause and what you need to heal.
I've also found that some people become 'stuck', emotionally or energetically. This creates hindrance and interferes with healing. For this reason, I've developed a more in-depth, intimate, deep dive into our whole being, in order to fix the imbalances on the deeper level of our being. These are the retreats that I lead, and the deep, sometimes difficult work that students do, but come out far more free, clear and liberated afterwards.
I have recorded hundreds of yoga classes in my over 30 years of teaching and aiming to preserve the classical teachings of Hatha Yoga as I learned them in the ashrams of india. You'll not find this kind of yoga education in any studio or gym - they are truly authentic and lead the student to optimal physical and mental health, as well as opening the energy channels and taking the mind to spiritual heights. These are important steps for any spiritual seeker. It's yoga for s/he who is on the path.
I have also taken immense effort to document over 100 case studies from my Ayurvedic clinical practice over the years. I felt its important to share the healing potential of Ayurvedic therapies to the public. Perhaps you may find the answer for yourself or your loved one who has been suffering. Perhaps you're a researcher or a physician. I hope these case stories shed some light on the tremendous benefits of Ayurveda as its own independent system of medicine, not merely complimentary to allopathy. While Ayurveda has become more popular now in the west, it's still being identified as life-style medicine, not really recognized for what it is.
I've also collected the many seminars, lectures, talks, workshops, etc and used them to develop short courses for anyone interested in these specific topics.
On the Resources page I've added as much as I could to help you on your healing journey. If you have any more suggestions, pls do reach out to me.
I have intentionally chosen not to put this content on youtube and social media where the pure sacred knowledge is not respected and diluted. This foundation/site is especially for sincere seekers who wish to devote time and effort to learning the real essence as handed down from millennium, on a platform where the student can focus without digital distractions.
Any fees received from this site are donated 100% to HearingHearts.org and PremSociety.org, two charitable organizations founded and funded by my family, and I continue to support VedicHealth.org and VedicYoga.org to help them continue to serve the community.
As for me, since 2017, I decided to dedicate myself to healing, teaching, and humanitarian work full time and decline any form of compensation for myself. For me, this is not work, but Seva, selfless service, with hope that during my few minutes on this planet, I can make some sort of impact, and acheive my own liberation/connection to Divine through karma yoga.
