At the heart of Ayurveda lies the concepts such as agni, balam, tri-gunas, tri-doshas, pancha-bhutas, sapta-dhaatus, shat-kalas and tri-malas. These concepts are to understand an individual to the deepest level so that the most accurate health program can be prescribed. India’s Sages prescribed Ayurveda several millennia ago andit is now gaining in popularity throughout the West, as its systems are more relevant than ever in treating the diseases of the modern age.

Kalaripayattu means martial art training or official fight was evolved during the 9th century. The training is conducted in an underground space that is lit by oil lamps. The warrior clan of Kerala, Nair community practiced Kalari Payattu. The master - gurukkal - teaches the art and practice early in the morning at around 3am for several hours.
Karate and Kungfu are believed to have originated from Kalaripayattu when Bodhi Dharma took the art of Kalaripayattu to China. This martial art is as much a spiritual discipline, as it is physical. Kalaripayattu is basically a philosophical system aiming to nurture a precise way of 'non-violent life' far from any form of aggression and structural more towards introspective self-analysis and self-control. The final goal of a kalari practitioner is not just to know exactly all the techniques of defence and offence or the proper use of the various weapons, but also to overcome and rationally tame the anger and any kind of impulsive and violent behaviour, which can have extremely dangerous effects on one and others. Kalaripayattu helps the students in character build up, self-confidence and adoptability to circumstances. Kalaripayattu helps systemize the flow of energy in the body. |
