PANCHAKARMA GUIDE

Featuring The Indus Valley Ayurvedic Centre

We are delighted to feature the Indus Valley Ayurvedic Centre or IVAC this month as our featured centre. Dr. Talavane Krishna the founder is a visonary and has created a model Ayurvedic centre that has been established for more than 10 years constantly improving and refining it's facilities. It is located in the very mild climate of Mysore, nestled at the foot of the sacred Chamundi hill. Mysore has a refreshing summer and a mild winter so it is well suited for treatments year round.

The land was chosen as per Vaastu Shastra which is the ancient Vedic science of sacred geometry. One truly feels the effects of the land and it is easy to trancend all external things and focus on healing and rejuvenation.

Upon visiting IVAC one is welcomed with the eternal sound of Aum which resonates through the campus during the day, the campus has lush vegetation and abundant spaces to take walks and find quiete coves for meditation and reflection.

The staff and treatments are superb, everyone is very well trained and imense attention to detail is given in all treatments.

Accomodations are very comfortable with rooms ranging for all budges and everything one could require during treatment or even for a short visit is there. Love and care has been put into everything at IVAC and one can feel this immediatly. The treatments are done very perfectly with attention to every detail, the ambience of the treatment rooms is particularly beautiful. Read more... 

Uplifting Ayurvedic Education

Until recently Ayurveda has been taught in a traditional way where Gurus would have students live with them for at least 12 years and undertake an intensive training which included indepth study of Sanskrit and herbal preparations as well as clinical training in the masters residence. This system of education was known as the Gurukul system and it served the transmission of this great science very well producing many of the finest physicians or Vaidyas. In the past decades the system has been changed into a formal university sytem as is present around the world and the accepted Ayurvedic degree in India is called BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery). There are hundreds of colleges offering this and Vedic Society has decided to make a global peer reviewed service showing all colleges and allowing past students or teachers to give frank reviews. This service is having the objective to uplift the education of Ayurveda, make it more globally accepted and also that prospective students can see the quality of various institutions before taking an admission. Ultimately the better the quality of schools the better the quality of Ayurvedic treatments. Visit our new education section...
