Kind Words from Guruji
She has invited me to Perth to teach, to relax, and to see cricket ground and Kangaroos. I would like to go there soon; I could not go, because of workload. She prepares Nayopayam lehyam, cultivate brahmi, makes aragwadadi yogas. She does all the panchakarma procedures as equal to a good ayurvedic panchakarma specialist here and better than many of our people. She is a real boon teacher and a clinician and she is propagating Ayurveda from her heart. She does panchakarma programs and ayurvedic coaching programs also. She is associated with academic activities there. She learnt a lot through our books. We feel very proud about her. I have students from all over India and 16 countries and she is one among the best and we wish her all the best.”
