OUR TRAINING: What sets us apart?

1. Gurukula system:

Durgadas comes from a long line of Vedic teachings in his own family and has been taught special techniques in these systems as well as learning Ayurveda, Jyotish and other Vedic sciences formally, as well as his own in-depth study and research.

As such, our Basic Courses incorporate a complete Integral system of Ayurveda rather than an allopathic or westernised or pasteurised approach, looking also at Yoga, Jyotish and the concerns of the mind and astral bodies as also Self-awareness in addition to deeper Ayurvedic Panchakarma, Herbology, Diagnosis etc.

Our Advanced Courses are also conducted in such a manner as to accept only devoted students who will be sincere to the path and teachings they will receive, which requires much self-study and examination in the traditional manner along with their formal studies.

As all of our Courses have a traditional focus however, they are demanding and require the student follow and practice sadhanas
(spiritual practices) and practical disciplines and observations during their training as also the study of classical texts, in order to study as the ancient Rishis, the Seers of India also did.

Traditonally, students were chosen and trained specially according to their own abilities and received training in all aspects of Ayurveda and Vedic Sciences.

As such, we aim to do the same.

In keeping with these traditional guidelines, apart from our basic courses, for our Advanced Courses, students are requested to submit a donation as part of the traditional Guru Dakshina or Gift to the Guru system of a minimum nominated basic amount (to cover the time and costs of training prrograms) and in addition are free to give whatever they feel they can.

The monies that we receive from our programs goes back into our Courses, Programs and Books so that we can continue researching and bringing out the Traditional Ayurveda for the world in all aspects as not only an Integral System (combining Yoga, Ayurveda, Astrology, Spirituality and Sacred Practices and Teachings of the Sanskrit texts and Vedic traditions and rituals), but also in the sense of the Guru-disciple tradition and keeping it alive by modern methods!

2. Personal One to One Instruction:

Instruction is given to students according to the areas they first require focus on and then expanding the training systems according to their knowledge and also spiritual aptitude. That is why we require a background of the potential student and their birth-chart details before accepting them into the Advanced Courses, where instruction on sadhanas, mantras and such specific for them will be given also in the traditional Guru-shishya system, not a mass instruction.

Various assignments according to the student are hence given to test and develop their knowledge, understanding and also training during these Advanced Courses, especially Purna Ayurveda, Purna Astrology and Vaidik Para-Yoga Programs, developed by Durgadas - products of 15+ years of research, study, practice and meditation!

3. Traditional Hindu Focus:

As we follow a traditional approach, students are also taught how to work with deities and how to approach them and gradually advanced in various sadhanas to understand their personalities and also to aid in their understanding.

Students are also taught how to observe the forces of planets and nature as our ancient Rishis did, so that they too can access the deeper awareness and insights that also lie beyond any teaching or instruction so that they too can develop the level of insights as the Rishis such as Agastya. Vasishtha, Krishna, Patanjali Agnivesha, Dhanvantari, Sushruta, Charaka and others did for themselves directly.

The Integral System brings in all aspects of Jyotish, Yoga and Ayurveda in a traditional model and how they fit together as also how they have been part of India's history since the time of the Rig Veda onwards, which they will also be required to study and understand the deeper mystic secrets of!

4. Accessibility:

With several students in the world today, we incorporate teaching through Skype with direct instruction as also email and other modalities as well as practical physical training in person if one is able to do so.

This allows students from anywhere in the world to have direct guidance from the teacher not only through books and study-guides and programs, but through direct chat access to allow the training to be imparted in a traditional manner, while also not losing focus of the Practical approach which is given through sadhanas and practices to the student; physical instruction and mantras given to the student by voice and direct sight over the internet so that there are now flaws in their pronunciation and can address concerns directly on their mind.

5. Affiliation and Accreditation:

We are affiliated with the American Institute of Vedic Studies in the USA which also promotes traditional Vedic teachings through the works of Vamadeva Shastri and Shambhavi Chopra.

Vamadeva works with the Chopra Centre in the USA as well as the Kerala Ayurveda Academy on their advisory board and is one of the world's foremost authorities on Ayurveda, Yoga, Jyotish and the Vedic Teachings.

Durgadas and Vamadeva have shared their teachings over the past 15 years.

We are also affiliated with an accredited and well-known Ayurveda Hospital in Kerala that preserves the traditional Ayurveda also.
