AYURVEDA Courses
 

There is a growing consciousness all over the world about Ayurveda and an increasing wish to know more about this most ancient system of medicine from India. Developed from the Vedas (India's ancient books of wisdom), Ayurveda combines physical, psychological and spiritual therapies. It considers that ailments affect the whole person and emphasizes prevention of diseases to avoid the need for cure.

Since time immemorial, the great trade routes between India and Western worlds have been instrumental to a large extent, for the spreading of Indian therapies and pharmcopoeias. Today, Ayurveda is an object of study for scientists around the world, and already found in many medical formulas. It has been serving as a reservoir of indigenous techniques and methodologies for the modern medicine.

 
The knowledge of Ayurveda is inevitable for any human being to lead a normal life in this modern world of stress and ailments. It is with this conviction, that Vijnana Kala Vedi is offering a three week long Ayurvedic course with the intention of spreading the message of Ayurveda.
 
Know Ayurveda - Three weeks
 
A course to create a basic awareness in the science and to orient a person according to the ayurvedic style of living - a minimum of 35 hours of lectures and practicals including hospital visits.
 
Classes are only from Mondays - Fridays. Some of the week-ends might be used for hospital visits etc. If not, you can use your week-ends for relaxing at the centre or for touring the nearby destinations.
 
Vijnana Kala Vedi will be pleased to offer you, to learn or participate in the workshops of any one of the art forms of your choice, usually offered at the centre, for about one hour a day from Mondays to Fridays, at no extra cost.
 
You can have Yoga and Martial art lessons as offered to all students.
 
Participants: Foreign nationals who have had basic education, with the knowledge of English(to read, write and speak), and an open mind and respect towards Indian culture.
 
Important Notes:
 
 
The Ayurveda course is the only one course at the centre with a prescribed time limit and syllabus.
   
 
Hence there is a chance that there could be up to four participants in the same time. You can benefit from the questions and approach of other participants.
   
 
If you are the only person to attend the course, then you can discuss with the doctor and make necessary deviation in the syllabus to suit your interests.
   
 
The Course proceeds through discussions with a professional Ayurvedic doctor.
   
 
This course is conducted in good faith, to propagate the message of Ayurveda, keeping in mind the welfare of humanity all over the world, in accordance with the Indian philosophy of "Vasudaiva Kudumbakam" - the whole world is a family
   
 
The course syllabus goes into the basics of most aspects of Ayurveda, but only through discussions. There are not any kind of practical sessions except for a few massages.
   
 
We do not claim to make any body a professional/traditional Ayurvedic physician. We do not conduct any examinations on completion of the course and do not assure that the course will prepare one to have a valid medical degree enabling the holder to practice Ayurveda in any form. Nor do we guarantee in any way a job or career in Ayurveda related fields for the participants.
   
 
The Course is best suited for medical professionals/students who want to know about a different science, or people with a genuine interest in alternate systems of medicine.
