"It is vital that Ayurveda, or any system of medicine, does not remain confined to a specific section of society, but embraces every individual with warmth and care. Chithrakoota Ayurveda has built such a living tradition of inclusivity" said National Awardee and Teacher Pradeep Kenchanoor. He was felicitated during the Chithrakoota Ayurveda Habba organized by Chithrakoota Ayurveda recently.
Speaking after being felicitated, Pradeep Kenchanoor said, "Many harbor a misconception that Ayurveda is restricted to a particular community. However, at Chithrakoota, there is an environment where every section of the village is carried along. This brings to mind the concept of unity found in villages. Chithrakoota strictly lives by rule that “Nobody is prominent than another, while nobody is insignificant; and that everyone is equal'.
Reflecting on his stay at Chithrakoota during his wife’s treatment, he shared, "Those who come here are not seen merely as patients or guests, but are cared for like family members with immense love and attention. The coordination within the team led by Dr. Rajesh Bayari are remarkable. The fact that citizens from over 40 to 50 countries, who prioritize high standards of healthcare, come here and regain their health stands as testament to the selfless service rendered here” he said.
He noted that although he had hesitated to step into the limelight for felicitations after receiving the National Award, he made an exception to come here out of deep respect for Dr. Rajesh Bayari and his fondness for Chithrakoota. He extended his best wishes for Chithrakoota to continue serving society by passing down the Ayurvedic heritage across generations-bringing together elders, youth, and children alike. The event was held under the leadership of Dr. Rajesh Bayari, Head of Chithrakoota Ayurveda. Dignitaries including Udupi MP Kota Shrinivas Poojary, Byndoor MLA Gururaj Gantihole, former Minister Pramod Madhwaraj, and former MLAs Sukumar Shetty and Gopal Poojary graced the occasion. Mahabala Bayari, Kalavathi Bayari, Harish Puthran, Anupama, and Dr. Anulekha Bayari were present.
