Experience Ayurveda in Kerala
Kerala is the home of Ayurveda in India. Ayurveda is a holistic, traditional medical system. Its premise is that illness results from disharmony in the individual’s natural, internal equilibrium.
Ayurveda is based on the idea that each person has certain life forces (doshas) and everything in the universe is connected. An imbalance in one area can affect another.
Ayurveda mostly uses nutrition, lifestyle changes, and natural treatments.

Founded by the esteemed sage Sri Ramana Maharshi, this sacred sanctuary has evolved into a revered pilgrimage site, drawing seekers from diverse backgrounds who are captivated by the magnetic allure of self-inquiry and the teachings of non-duality.
The essence of Ramana Maharshi’s teaching is found in a small booklet called ‘Who am I?’ This little booklet contains the first set of instructions given by Ramana Maharshi.
The Ramana Ashram remains a steadfast sanctuary for truth-seekers, where the cacophony of the mind subsides, and the essence of pure awareness permeates the heart.
