July – August 2023
Healing Sounds Retreat
From Nov 23-27,2023 @ Vaidyagrama Ayurveda Healing Village
A Satsangam Event- Organised by Punarnava Ayurveda Trust and Vaidyagrama Community Trust.
On the final day Nov 27,2023 we have a special program on Music therapy by Purvaa Sampath from 4.30pm to 5.30pm.
Sound, in the form of drumming, chanting, recitation, repetition of mantra, singing, instrumental music, and the ringing of bells has been an integral part of devotional traditions since ancient days. Sound is associated with ākāśa (space), the most subtle of the five great mahābhūta (elements). Its subtlety offers the potential to usher us into the subtle realms of consciousness where we may experience devotion, clarity, focus, love and healing. During the five days of the retreat participants will participate actively in these practices, thereby enjoying direct experience of the very different effects of these distinct manifestations of sound.
We invite you to participate in the healing sounds retreat, where besides understanding the above effects of sound, the delegates also would be receiving 2-3 Ayurveda treatments during afternoons after consultation with senior Ayurveda physicians.

Glimpses of Ayurveda Conversations 2023- Aug 18-20,2023
Around 46 panelists, 12 Moderators, 150 doctors, students interns, national and international online participants and many guests participated in the Ayurveda Conversations 2023.
The conference, ignited many sparks in the minds of the students and young doctors and promised to continue to indulge in deep dialogues in the coming years. Young doctors who participated in the Ayu Emergency Yatra were felicitated, and the satsang about their experience during the yatra also interested the budding doctors.
One of the senior vaidyas, who attended the Ayurveda Conversations, Dr Srivats, wrote his comment about the program as below.
Dear all at Vaidyagram and Saranya,
I believe Krishna Kumar ji would have been very happy to see the gathering again to discuss and deliberate on the various issues in the current period regarding Ayurveda from his abode….
The process of thinking in every individual is influenced by the thoughts of the peers..
I believe that the Ayurveda conversations have given enough material to think over and rate oneself and evolve according to his ability and need…
I feel fortunate to be able to attend all the sessions…
My namaskarams to all who were behind the program for their thoughtful intervention in molding the thought pattern of all who are responsible for the promotion of Ayurveda in the right way..
Sincerely
Sreevaths.
Support : Vidyasagar Gurukulam.
About the gurukulam : Swami Gnanananda Saraswatiji handed over the Kondayur Ashram to Padmashri P R Krishnakumar, and in 2001, Krishnakumarji , was inspired to start the “VidyaSagar Gurukulam School” along with late Pujya Prema Pandurang, under the auspices of the Kshetropasna Trust. Vidya Sagar Gurukulam School aims to provide quality education to the children in and around Kondayoor Village. We admit only 30-35 students in the Pre-primary class. This helps to give a lot of individual attention and care to the student. The medium of instruction is English but we give equal importance to Sanskrit, Malayalam And Hindi , and also we are giving classes on Jyothisham (Astrology), Basic Ayurveda and Vasthuvidya.
From June 2023, in memory of Krishnakumarji and Prema Pandurangji, free Annadanam was started at the gurukulam. This is aimed at providing nutritious food to the students on the days they are in school for the 5 days. Every day meal cost Rs 6000/-.
Vidyasagar Gurukulam also needs support of all to run the school as well as for the Annadanam.Punarnava Ayurveda Trust is committed to providing the support to the gurukulam. You can send your donations to
