Information about Harivihar Ayurvedic Heritage Home
|
Harivihar or Abode of the Divine
is where you can pause, reflect and restore the harmony and
balance of your inner rhythms.
Situated in Calicut, part of the historic Malabar province, the
gateway through which Europe, led by Vasco Da Gamma, entered the
fabled Indies – Harivihar offers its guests the unparalleled
experience of living in a heritage homestead surrounded by a
verdant and serene landscape.
Embodying the best in traditional Kerala architecture, this
ancestral home of the Kadathanadu Royal family presents an
ambience like no other and welcome guests with an embrace of
genuine warmth.
At Harivihar, you can enjoy the priceless benefits of Ayurveda –
the science of pristine living as prescribed by Mother Nature
and perfected by ancient gurus. The fact that as a homestead it
has received the prestigious Green Leaf accreditation – the
highest honor from the Government of Kerala for authentic
Ayurveda – makes Harivihar very unique. |

Ayurveda at
Harivihar Ayurvedic Heritage Home |
Harivihar has been
awarded the prestigious Green leaf accredition
by the Kerala Tourism department. It is the only
homestead in Kerala in its class to have been
awarded this honour.The guest can have the
exclusive privacy of a homestead and at the same
time enjoy the priceless benefits of authentic
ayurvedic treatments.
Harmony, Balance, Integrity, Simplicity,
Well-being…..These are concepts fundamental to
the system of Ayurveda. Ayurveda, which means
'Knowledge of the life forces', is universal or
valid even today as it was 5000 years ago, maybe
even more so. The present state of the world,
that is of aggression, dominance, competition,
war and destruction is the manifestation of the
world-view which is not in tune with the
processes of nature. Hence out of tune with the
philosophy of Ayurveda, this predisposes the
body, which is a part and product of nature to
various illnesses. There is a great need for us
to re-establish that tuning or communication
with the life forces or processes of nature and
with our own body. Your body should not be taken
for granted….
Ayurvedic treatment is broadly of two types,
Pancha Karmam and Shamanam Panchakarmam, or
Shodhanam, is a five-step purification treatment
for the body through Vamanam (emesis),
Virechanam (purgation), Basti (enema), Nasyam
(nasal medication) and Raktha Moksha (blood
letting). Shamanam is a treatment that purges
the disease and it's symptoms through Kshut
(fasting), Trit Nigraham (restriction of
fluids), Vyayamam (exercise), Atapaseva (sun
rays), Maruta Seva (breeze of air), along with
herbal medicines. |

Yoga at
Harivihar Ayurvedic Heritage Home |
Yoga is a life of
self-discipline based on the tenets of simple
living and high thinking. Regular practice of
yoga will help to attain happiness and inner
peace of mind.
Yoga is a complete life. It is a method which
overhauls all aspects of the human personality.
Yoga does not require a turning away from life.
It demands transformation and spiritualisation
of life. Yoga is primarily a way of life ,it is
not a creed. The practice of Yoga is not opposed
to any religion. It is purely spiritual and
universal and does not contradict any ones
sincere faith. It is an aid to the practice of
the basic spiritual truth in all religions |
