Episode 3: Dr Ramkumar: Part 1 of 3 - Ayurveda and Vaidyagrama: The vision and the journey

Jaya Chandra Season 1 Episode 3

This is the first installment of Dr Ramkumar's journey. 

Vaidyagrama is a Ayurveda healing community near Coimbatore. Going to Vaidyagrama for treatment is equivalent to feeling healed in mind, body and spirit. These are just words till one makes the trip there - and then, they acquire real meaning.

This is about the journey of Vaidyagrama through the eyes and words of one of the co-founders, Dr Ramkumar - his unique journey from childhood to where he is now - listen to him speak as he tells us how he took the road less travelled - of Ayurveda wisdom - studying and applying Ayurveda, seeking inspiration in remote villages and in the peace and quiet of the Himalayas and speaking about Ayurveda within India and abroad.

These experiences, rather organically, led to the vision of Vaidyagrama - a community built on idealistic principles but backed by dogged determination, and shared by five of his close friends ( 3 Vaidyas and 2 organisational development experts ), who joined hands to build this amazing community.

Do join Dr Ramkumar and me in this podcast as he shares this remarkable journey, that inspires us to know what it takes to build a beautiful and sustainable community of any kind. It is also a journey that inspires us to dream and to have the courage to turn that dream into reality.
