Oorja - Yoga In Modern Times

Oorja is the vision of Yogacharya Malabar Vasudevan Gurukkal, the most prominent living legend in Kalari, Marma, Yoga and its applications in our modern times. Oorja understands the importance of providing genuine therapies, courses and care in the most soothing of environments.

Sunshine that invigorates you, but, doesn't burn you. Oxygen rich air that nourishes you, but, doesn't ruffle you. Backwaters that soothe and calms you… Oorja undertake therapies according to your Prakriti, the natural ratio of Vata, Pitha and Kabha. Age-old secretive herbal medicines passed down from the rishis are prepared specifically in authentic environs. They also strive to give a spiritual and scientific explanation to any problem.

Advantages Vs Disadvantages

Preparations that might astound people on its complexity of the ingredients and ratios - some herbal, some not - have been used on millions of patients, male and female, of all possible ages and types. But all are natural and the treatments are one of the safest available. The power of the mind over the body aspects like mental peace and discipline are given great importance. Yet the treatments are all very simple!

Natural products are used because it works and not because, there exists empirical proof that a certain compound exists in that product and it works this way on certain cells. For example, according to findings in AD 2002, Linolenic acid is good for arthritis or using sesame oil (which always contained Linolenic acid) from BC 300 onwards. There are hundreds of such funny 'discoveries' and inventions, that modern medicine is credited for nowadays, but which, the traditional systems have been following for centuries!

The institute believes in the Ayurvedic philosophy that the cure of a patient lies with the Almighty and the Gurukal is only a means, through whom it is materialised. The courses are designed in such a way, so that both amateurs and professional benefit equally. The ancient martial art of Kalaripayatt that is gaining popularity as a physical well being culture is also taught here. Besides, there are therapy courses for people interested in ancient yet very effective Kalari Marma systems, Yoga and Creative dances for artistes and general people interested in a perfect health.
