Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala celebrated its 80th Founder’s Day with a variety of programmes at the courtyard of Kailasamandiram on Tuesday. It marked the 80th death anniversary of Arya Vaidya Sala founder Vaidyaratnam P.S. Varier.
Inaugurating the celebrations, classical dancer and Kerala Kalamandalam Chancellor Mallika Sarabhai showered praise on Ayurveda as a medicinal stream that identified the importance of synthesis of mind and body. Any creative work of art, whether it is music or dance, is generated in the mind and expressed through the body, she said.
Ms. Sarabhai said that it was the realisation of the synthesis of body and mind that prompted Vaidyaratnam to espouse creative works of art along with the treatment regimen. “This unique approach makes Arya Vaidya Sala different from other institutions,” she said.
