To share my first-hand experience

To popularise and propagate Kutee Praveshika Rasayana

To encourage more doctors to start doing it for the welfare of patients

Every human being wants to live long and healthy in the best possible quality of youthfulness. Ageing is an ongoing process that takes places in the human body. It cannot be stopped or reversed. But of course, premature ageing can be controlled. Rasayana Chikitsa (regeneration therapy) aims at this. This is possible by promoting rejuvenation, healing, and regeneration of living tissue in the body and for this Kutee Praveshika Rasayana of Ayurveda is relevant.

1. TAPSWIJI MAHARAJ who lived 185 yrs – who learned the top-secret protocol from a Himalayan yogi and did KPR thrice on him and who handed over the once top-secret methods to Swami Satchidananda Chairman, Sri Vishnu Ashram Trust, Dibbagiri hills, Bangalore District, Karnataka – from whom my mentor Dr Raviraj Kadle learned.

Tapaswiji – Saint who lived for 185 years – Biography by Sri T S ANANTHA MURHY

Is a book I have about him written by a British rule time magistrate who was his disciple.

2. Dr K Sankaran 2002 – MD [Ayu] my mentor – Rtd Director of Ayurveda Medical Education of Govt of Kerala who showed me the first candidate of KPR and taught me all the technical know-how of the therapy protocol in 2002.
3. Dr Padmanabhan K 2006 my mentor and his daughter Dr Aparna K. who introduced me to Dr Raviraj Kadle Sir.
4. Dr Ravisankar Pervaje, 2010 MS [BHU] www.pervajeayurveda.com, Puthur, Karnataka who guided me through the Panchakarma protocol decision making for KPR.
5. Dr Raviraj Kadle 2014 – Dr Raviraj Kadle sir who learned the secret technique from Swami Satchidananda. Raviraj sir is the crucial link between the great yogi Tapaswiji Maharaj and Ayurveda community. He is the one who taught me finer deeper and refined intricacies of KPR and implemented Amalaki rasayana in me which has changed my life and life events after that. I am indebted to him for this life time and beyond for the changes KPR has brought to my life.

The classical Ayurvedic text advocate preventive and curative domains. Promotion of the health is main objective of Ayurveda which is achieved by the unique modality mentioned in Ayurveda called Rasayana or rejuvenation.

Kutee Praveshika Rasayana and Vatatapika Rasayana are the two types of Rasayana on the BASIS OF PLACE of therapy. Indoor Rasayana therapy is Kutee Praveshika Rasayana where Vatatapika Rasayana is outdoor Rasayana therapy.

Kutee Praveshika Rasayana is a type of Rasayana treatment for slowing down the ageing process and reinvigorating the body. During the treatment, the patients will be under the observation of a specialist and have to follow a strict daily routine.

This unique class of therapy enhances the life span, delays aging, improves the intelligence and memory power, promotes health, provides youthful states of the body, betters the body luster and voice, improves the efficiency of the different cognitive abilities and enhances the innate health. It also reverses the disease process and prevents the re-occurrence. Rasayana replenish the vital fluids of our body, thus keeping us away from diseases.

Rasayana Chikitsa is particularly effective in reducing the signs of ageing.

As you read and see the videos of KPR, please remind yourself that Rasayana is not just a drug therapy but it is a specialized procedure practicised in the form of rejuvenative recipes, dietary regimen, and special health promoting conduct and behavior. Scientific studies have proven the efficacious role of Rasayana remedies in the management of chronic life style related diseases and degenerative changes.

I volunteered to be a candidate of KPR, because not many doctors do it on them and not many know how to perform it.

The Ayurvedic community has ONLY 2 doctors – on regular basis performing KPR.

1. DR RAVIRAJ KADLE http://www.ashwinidhama.org/ in Ashwinidhama Ayurvedic Treatment Center Kumta, Karnataka INDIA 581343. Dr Raviraj Kadle knows the exact protocol / technology from Papviji Maharaj and in recorded history perhaps only 24 candidates have undergone this regimen till February 2014, out of this only one candidate’s details are available – for evaluation and feedback that was done in 2002.
2. Dr Sethumadhavan at the Padinjarekara Ayurvedic Hospital and Research Centre at Palappuram near Ottapalam, Palakad, Kerala, India

Inspired & guided by Dr Raviraj Kadle’s guidance and first-hand experience and methodological documentation of Dr Sreejit, Athreya Ayurveda center – www.theathreya.com has started its own special Kutee for KPR.

Perhaps I became the 25 th candidate and the youngest aged candidate at 34 yrs age and perhaps the first Ayurvedic doctor in recorded history to document my first-hand experience before during and after KPR in all possible electronics gadgets and medical evaluations in AIMS COCHIN and even Kirlian photography

KPR was becoming nearly extinct practice by virtue of its uniqueness of difficult logistics gathering and NON-availability of candidates suitable or interested for the same. KPR is relevant in the medical filed by virtue its enormous re generation of the body in healthy persons and those with disease too

This work become significant as there is NO first-hand narration by any Ayurvedic doctor who has done it on him/ her, documented it, shared the once top-secret methods and propagated – the agendas that I strongly contemplate to make happen through my upcoming website www.agnivesh.info

Vatatapika Rasayana is practiced by many doctors but Kutee praveshika still remains a mystery to many of practicing doctors of Ayurveda. Yet there are a few who practice and experiment on this and those practices are really encouraging. Some of them have updated the concepts and constructed the Kutee according to the need of the time with available resources. In this dissertation a glimpse through such practices are done. This ancient methodology of rejuvenation should be studied to all its extend, thoroughly researched and updated and should be expanded as a new evolving branch of Ayurveda to benefit the human kind.

There is NO reliable first-hand account from a direct beneficiary who is Ayurvedic professional – of the benefits of KPR experienced in today’s life time, NO one knows how and what all changes a person experience during and after the KPR and sadly, enough Not more than two doctors implement such therapies in regular practice for the following simple reason – lack of awareness, and lack of possession of technical know how among lakhs of other Ayurveda doctors.

Swami Sachidanand who is now 90 yrs old and was part of the Kutee rasayana and knows the full secrets of Kutee praveshika rasayana as he saw and performed it for Tapaswiji Maharaj as his personal disciple and care taker.

It has 4 types of reasons

Social reasons

I was curious as a lay man will be by reading the seemingly impossible benefits and super good claims in the text books

Personal reasons

to realise if I look younger or my grey hair and grey beard become s black and lustrous –what happened finally – will be discovered by the reader finally

also, I wished this effort to be dedicated to the fond memory of my first mentor

DR K SANKARAN who has the record of conducting the first documented case of KPR in 2002 in Rajah Healthy acres. He was very keen to popularise this as he did other subjects of Ayurveda during his illustrious career as a par excellent great clinician and unforgettably great teacher till his sudden demise in 2011

Medical reasons

in Rajah healthy acre 2002 – the first medically documented case of KPR Per… Ag … USA surprised me by his medical benefits of Brahma Rasayana done on him and from a state of asemenia [ not azoospermia or oligospermia but complete absence of semen tissue itself !!]  he reached to 120 million sperm count in 3 months – this really surprised me of the enormous regenerative capacity of the deepest level of tissue healing by KPR

Academic reasons

to document my experience and propagate and popularize this by a website, so that the unknown top-secret methods become available to all – doctors and can be implemented to suitable candidate. Special mention is due for the efforts of Dr Aparna MD PhD ‘s in the form of investigations thesis – exclusively on rasayana – I am indebted to her for introducing me to Dr Raviraj Kadle sir.

Visit to Kadle village, Kumta taluk town, Karnataka state, India – Dr Raviraj Kadle sir who showed and allowed us to see Preparation of Amalaki Rasayana and Kutee architecture.

If KPR becomes very popular in future, the train to Kumta in 2012 is very crucial journey.

Me, Dr Sajeev CB, Dr Rajesh Kaimal, Dr Chandra Mohan were allowed to visit and see first-hand how amalaki rasayana is prepared and also how the interiors of the Kutee looks like

Sept 2013 – made the payment of advance payment and formally decided I am jumping into the toughest therapy of all in Ayurveda – KPR.

As omens would unfold, as I was standing in the queue to make a sample deposit payment for the KPR as money transfer in the bank, I found a man lightening a tall Kerala style lamp during onam festival with a collection of flowers on the floor. I had a feeling that things would be smooth. But I was wrong as I realised from an experienced astrologer in Udupi Sri Ramana acharya [ who had no clue or information about my plans] that from Jan 30 to march 30 – I will be in a state of extreme psychological turmoil if I do not perform certain poojas and homams.  Shocked to realize that I will be in severe mental agony and depression in feb march I decided to perform Daiva vyapasrya chikitsa. My friend Dr Raghavendra Udupa of Udupi is the person responsible for the contact with the astrologer. I will never forget his help regarding this.

I made sure I sought the blessings of the chief priest of Lord Krishna temple in Udupi Swami   whom I could once help in a significant way in the past through my mentor DR SHUNMUGOM Sir even though I had no direct contact with swamiji till I met him in person through my very good friend Dr Raghavendra Udupa MD [Ayu]

Nov 2013 Daiva vyapasrya performed in the form of Navagraha pooja etc.

I made the journey to Udupi with my wife and son and made the necessary procedures and made videos of the same. Everything clicked well and I was happy I could make all arrangements smooth

This was done on Nov 11 2013 and I was told that the effect/ benefits of this will be realized only by the 90th day – that is 3 days after I enter the Kutee. So how to handle the first 3 days of KPR was the challenge.

The images of my kirlian photos OF BEFORE AND AFTER KPR are better interpreted by him. He is a mechanical engineer by profession and has done more than thousand analyses to help many people and for his own academic interest. He used a GDV camera developed by Dr Korotkov and made by kirlionics international.

This being his passion and not a normal profession he did not charge any money for his services in spite of my best insistence.

His TOTAL FINAL comments will be soon available as video AFTER March beginning of 2015

He is closely associated with school of santhi www.schoolofsanthi.com

Body composition analyser was used also showed metabolic age of 34 for my normal biological age of 34 yrs. this machine is used world over in many gymnasiums and also in sports circles

Dec 2013, Jan 2014

I decided to make sure that one month is utilized in the preparation of the body and mind to undergo the most difficult therapy regimen I will go through.

For all the procedures performed by me videos are included in the website.

First objective was koshta shudhi to prepare for herbal ghee intake – snehapana –

So, Dec 31 was utilized for sadyo Vamana looks like kunjal kriya of yoga –

Jan 1 Very next day- sadyo virechana – looks like shanka prakshalanam of yoga

30 ml gandharvahastadi erandam tailam plus gomutra arkam 30 ml plus 20 ml milk

Jan 2 – rest day

72.2 kg was body weight before snehapana 

By virtue of my special situation of professional commitments, I had no option to make snehapana, the way most people would do – that is empty stomach of morning.

I could not afford the luxury of being rested whole day during snehapana.

I know very well that by denying absolute rest, I was doing not the right things for me but I could not afford to not work for at least 8 hours a day.

But in spite of this deviation from normal method, I felt the results are not compromised

Because I really wanted to realize if working people could make this modified version.

But one thing I assured that ghee is consumed ONLY after last meal is digested and when I do Not feel hungry and this principle of our science was definetly adhered to even though some of my friends were not happy because I was NOT doing the ‘usual ‘’ stereotyped manner regarding achha snehapana

I also ensured that after ghee intake on a given day I take rest and limit or decrease or avoid any work as the ghee gets into the process of digested. All the recommendations / restrictions advised by our science were followed.

The following are the days and dosage of Indukantham gritham- a vatha kapha hara property ghee and the timing of intake

Jan 3 -day 1 of snehapana 30 ml – 6 pm video not taken

Jan 4   day 2 60 ml – 5pm video not taken

Sunday, ‎January ‎05, ‎2014, ‏‎5:18:08 PM    day 3   90 ml – 518 pm in evening

Monday, ‎January ‎06, ‎2014, ‏‎3:18:04 PM   Jan 6   day 4 120 ml – 318 pm

Tuesday, ‎January ‎07, ‎2014, ‏‎3:24:12 PM Jan 7   day 5 150 ml – 324 pm

‎Wednesday, ‎January ‎08, ‎2014, ‏‎2:12:12 PM Jan 8         day 6     180 ml – 212 pm

Thursday, ‎January ‎09, ‎2014, ‏‎1:32:28 PM JAN 9         day 7   200 ml – 132 pm

My body weight was reduced to 68.5 kg after snehapana of 830 ml of Indukantham gritham.

Even though this kind of weight loss experience is very common for Ayurvedic physicians, a non-medico [ non Ayurvedic] public person will not believe this finding and hence I made sure I take the video of the same

JAN 10 was utilized for abhyanga 20 minutes swedana / whole body sweating till sweating was sufficiently seen about 15 minutes in steam chamber

a small sized wart on the face disappeared by the 6th day of snehapana

snehapana went well without making me very tired and not feeling sedative in day time

I achieved samyak snighda / saturation point of herbal ghee after the / by the 7th day’s dose

I ensured to mix necessary quantity of rice water soup with pinch of salt where ever necessary for making ghee intake palatable and not to vomit it out.

JAN 11 – 2014

with the formula of vacha 2.5 gm yasthimadhu 5 grams madhanaphala 7 .5grams saindhava mixed with honey. In fact, I took each of this one gram more than needed and deliberately made over dose   – fearing if I will have lesser dosage by chance.

JAN 11 – morning Classical [bigger] Vamana

Started process by 640 am and abhyanga was done was easily 30 minutes and swedana for about 15 minutes before vamana inducing medicine intake

– by facing towards the east direction and only after my friend chanted the mantra in Vamana vidhi adhyaya prakarana of Ashtanga hridayam – ‘’’ Brahma daksha ashwi rudra indra…bhoo chandra arka anila anala. This mantra she narrates from her experience as as very very effective in avoiding complication in emergency medicine and critically complicated surgeries

The process went well

After about 6 bigger vegas happened, blood was vomited also as seen in the video, my friend Dr Beatrix Sima cautioned me for the possibility of gastric ulceration and she was kind enough to monitor me thoroughly and of course I was tired in the process.

the whole day was a resting day in one of the cottages and kept myself away from work

JAN 12 – rest day

Not much to my surprise, I again had more bowel movements happening, the unusual adhogami nature was displayed by the vamana drugs and easily 5 major bowel movements happened

This prompted me Not to have any separate virechana dravya.

I decided I am Not making a classical virechana as the vamana itself was causing unplanned virechana and opted for siravedham to be done on me after another snehapana is performed.

Next snehapana was by Kalyanaka gritham – a tridosha hara action medicine and I made sure to mix swarna bhasmam to it

January ‎13, ‎2014, ‏‎6:01:44 PM –

50 ml of Kalyanaka gritham

1 capsule of swarna bhasmam plus 50 ml of Kalyanaka ghee here as seen in video – rice water soup as a distaste remover and for palatability as ghee does Not taste very comfortable

‎Tuesday, ‎January ‎14, ‎2014, ‏‎1:46:26 PM –

120 ml Kalyanaka ghee consumed with swarna bhasmam one capsule

Wednesday, ‎January ‎15, ‎2014, ‏‎1:47:38 PM

180 ml Kalyanaka ghee consumed with swarna bhasmam one capsule

The aura field of this combination is tested using my talisman as a pendulum

My hand is Not still but not mobile enough to cause a synchronized rotation of the pendulum. This practice is famous world over called as dousing and it exhibits energy fields of objects and even seven chakra level energy of people. Please note if my hand was trembling enough, the synchronized rotation or revolving of the talisman does Not happen.

‎Thursday, ‎January ‎16, ‎2014, ‏‎1:44:10 PM

210 ml Kalyanaka ghee consumed with swarna bhasmam one capsule

Friday, ‎January ‎17, ‎2014, ‏‎2:03:20 PM – samyak snighdha lakshna achieved

After about 1.4 liters of herbal ghee intake,

body weight is 68.1 kgs – lost about 4 .1 kg of body weight in 16 days

Jan 17 2014 Abhyangam and ooshmaswedam in steam box chamber was done

Saturday, ‎January ‎18, ‎2014, ‏‎5:31:10 PM

Bloodletting/ Rakthamoksham by Siravedham ie vein puncturing done

2 pricks were made by my friend Dr Beatrix Sima – 1st on the right cubital fossa vein than expelled darker colored blood than the 2 nd left arm overall about 160 ml to 180 ml blood totally came out as we do NOT draw out any blood, we just facilitate blood to come out

Sunday 19 jan Snehavasthi started Ksheerabala tailam 120 ml,

Went on jan 20 21 22 23 24

Before PANCHAKARMA

On 6 Dec 2013 – Metabolic Age showed 34

After PANCHAKARMA

On 1st feb 2014 – Metabolic Age showed 32

As is the case with any Ayurveda therapy regimen, strict food and life style considerations were taken care of – being vegetarian in food, timely food, drinking mostly warm to hot water, no night time sleeplessness, no daytime sleeping, celibacy during therapy days, no exercises, not even gentle postures of yoga BUT I was working easily 8 hours most day as I had no other option.

Apart from these medical preparations, I had to mobilize quite a lot of hard work before moving away from home for KPR –that involved my work places, family, friends. A clear message was given to my wife that except for the death of her, our son or my parents –I may please NOT be bothered by any events or news here at home. Work wise, I left home with an impression that my wife will have to do double the task of what she is doing now and also, I had an insecurity feel of the welfare of my family work place as I have never been cut off in totality for such long gap of 1-month duration, absolute cut off in communication by all means.

The hardest part was to convince myself not to miss the voice of my son leave alone  the sight of the 4 yrs old boy who had no clue what his father was going to get into ,I made sure I showed him the video of the Kutee I will get into and he asked me why and the simple answer given to him  – ‘to drink lots of lots of amalaki juice ‘’ I never  realized at that point  that  thoughts about Agnivesh my son will turn to be a point of agony & sadness –  [rather than  joy ] due to the fact of  missing his sight and even voice as listening to any recorded document was Not allowed by any means . My parents were totally get at dark from knowing the exact plan as they could not have accepted or imbibed the full picture and would have left them paranoid

I believe in omens. There were omens indicative of probable successful completion of KPR. Be it the never before experience of presence of an autorickshaw driver just in the platform in the very front area of my getting out train in Ernakulam town station’ ’ready ‘’ to take me out in his autorickshaw and saving my time from the long walk from engine area to exit to prepaid taxi counter and also the long queue of the prepaid auto taxi stand – [because in short time I had a connection train form south junction of Ernakulam]

to the presence of a family from Kerala also travelling to Kumta and thus helping me to get down at right railway station at 3 am early morning. Since I was clue less how to handle the situation as train was late and the public address / announcement system inside the train was not working to convey where about and next stop of train, but I realized this couple made sure I did NOT over sleep and overshoot distance in the early morning. Even though my mobile had an alarm, the train timing was not predictable as delays are very common in railway journeys.

The best omen was this -After completing breakfast, I had slept off   in the room allotted to me in Ashwinidhama following a sleepless train journey. On rising up, I found missing my bag [ & even the entire money inside it] from the room. In semi panic state of its whereabouts and literally kicking my own self I came out of the room to find – both bag and money were totally safe – [even after spending 90 minutes outside my room unattended] given the fact many people – other clients and staff and even public do walk back and forth and the bag was small enough to carried away unnoticed by any one. Amazing were these indications / omens of a possible successful completion of KPR. I told myself looking up to the sky – ‘’seems the Gods are favoring me and will do so further too ‘’…

Knowing very well that I have the ‘’rare to get ‘’opportunity of experiencing KPR which before me in recorded history only 24 people have done it, I felt grateful to the science and the Ayurvedic community I live in much before I was about to realise the benefits of KPR. With full consent and support of my wife Dr Jayalakshmi, I sponsored free medical treatments for 6 months for nasal pathology patients meant for sure surgery – about 20 of them, also free food supply of food for an orphanage for specified number of days, and medicines to elderly economically poor patients. The criteria were to make charity of an amount nearly double the amount of my govt salary. Almost one-year completion of KPR – I strongly feel I must contribute more and more to welfare of people in many dimensions in many avenues… the sense of charity is enhanced many folds after KPR

Feb 3 and 4 th were spend sending bulks of communications to friends and well-wishers that I am going to isolated and inaccessible to any one, nothing short of remaining in an isolated cave for 35 days.

I wanted the right kind of energy field in my Kutee and so made sure that I remotely checked its energy levels and also directly before I finally got into it. Spent about 5 minutes being acclimatized or rather made educated about the staying space and arrangements –Dr Raviraj sir had personally done that awareness to me.

Physically I started to change my food to simpler version, waterier.

A day before entering into the hut, psychologically I was disappointed after hearing from my mentor Dr Raviraj sir the following lines. ‘’Sreejit !! tomorrow starts your ordeal. You will have 100 reasons to come out without completing the process. 24 hrs will appear like 72 hrs for you. A day will seem eternally elongated and night will appear as never ending too. You will be your best friend and worst enemy too!! Only you can manage you and you will come face to face with you. I was clearly conveyed NO reading, NO listening to music – its sensory inhibition by all means

Feb 4 th night – called my Marma /Varmam master DR SUNMUGOM Sir who said to me – ‘’ Doctor !! the ancestors of Ayurveda selected you for this, complete it very well ‘’. For an anxious nervous confused mind of mine, his words fueled encouragement and a deep sense of responsibility and moral accountability towards my science, its ancestors and my mentors.

I told myself with cement like concrete enforcement – I AM DOING THIS FOR THE SCIENCE I PRACTISE, THE SCIENCE I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT AND FOR MY MASTERS WHO MOULDED ME

Well-wishers and friends from over 25 countries wished me good fortune with the KPR and I was wondering how I compete the next one month undergoing the following …

35 days in a special dark room – alone,

Without normal food, without plain water, without sunlight, without music listening, without reading, without bathing, without talking to people, without any contact with family or friends by any means, without yoga, without any of these.

Day 1 inside Kutee

what goes through the mind of a candidate on day 1

My healing teacher & mentor Mrs. Suma Varghese ‘’ Suma teacher ‘’ blessed me and said that it will take precise 3 days for me to acclimatize to the place. She assured me of the presence of her energy field in the Kutee. I am grateful for the support she gave me by energy transmission to withstand what I went through.

My close friend and brother like DR Seshnag MP, MD [Ayu] Medical officer Dept of ISM Govt of Kerala and a member of Manarshala temple family, Haripad in Kerala had advised me [ based on astrology calculations] to enter the Kutee between   245 pm to 445 pm. He has fixed 2 other crucial moments of my life and after one year of KPR –I realised he has fixed a 3rd one – new beginning kind of experience for me.

The last phone call before getting in was to my wife and it was not easy to think of her and our son. I wanted to make few more phone calls but the phone battery died off as it could not be charged previous day. Nevertheless, I made the plunge to a special hut in total darkness. At 4 05 am as Dr Raviraj Kadle Sir escorted me into the inner most room and after making prayers and mantras, he left me – what a moment!!

That moment I felt abandoned, helpless, thrown away and most significantly – extremely depressed. Many positive & negative thoughts kept coming to my mind and I felt like running away …

But I trapped myself by declaring — I am doing this for me, my science Ayurveda and my mentors… I can betray me by coming out with OUT completing but I cannot betray my mentors, can NOT betray the ancestors and the science of Ayurveda. The reason was simple – I could become the first candidate in recorded history to make full authentic thorough documentation of KPR. Its an honor to be one such first person but that comes at a cost of risking one’s sanity as the mind is put to extreme stress and challenged and cornered

I quickly thought of DR SUNMUGOM Sir of Arts Research Institute Coimbatore and started chanting the Panchakshari mantra that he had taught me and much to my wonder In about 10 minute s I felt I am gaining stability, I went on chanting it for about 30 minute and by 25 th minute I was nearly tired and numb feet and really literally out of the depressive, run away attitude .

If that mantra given by DR SUNMUGOM sir of ARI Coimbatore had NOT come to my rescue it would have been like losing 5 batsmen in the first 5 overs of in a test match.

Anyways the original rasayana was to be provided only on 6 February and I had the chance to have normal simple liquid diet at night.  Prajesh my care taker came with food at night and that was a solace to see him. Infact the sight of any human being, the sound of anything is a source of joy and solace.

By night time, I was facing towards the east in my hut and made visual affirmations of ‘’installing ‘’ the following personalities who have influenced my life to great levels. I arrange their names in THE CHRONOLOGY of me meeting them in my life.

Dr K Sankaran sir retd Director Ayurveda, Kerala, 1999

Vaidyan Manmathan Sir –visha chikitsa specialist nilamboor Kerala ,2002

Dr Padmanabhan Sir Retd DMO ISM Kerala Meenangadi, Wayanad, 2006

Smt Suma Varghese, Ernakulam-Pranic healer, 2008

Sri Prakashan Gurukal Sir –Kollam – Tantra plus Varmam, martial arts specialist traditional 2012

Sri Prasad – Meenangadi, Wayanad, Sri Prakashan Gurukkal Sir Kollam 2013

I remain indebted to them this life time and beyond for the energy I derived from them in the roughest phases of KPR.

Starting with the sleep of previous night –

sleep envelops the eyes by 845 to 9 pm automatically and I literally fall into bed/ sleep

in the morning by 7 am would wake up and making a feeling that I needed 10 hours sleep!! But every week passing by I needed lesser and lesser sleep and by the completion of the 5th week I found myself needing 6 hours or even lesser time to sleep thoroughly and with full energy to spend in the day.

I realised how much perhaps my body was used up by heavy work hours that was like daily 12 hrs easily since some months and also how much the body ‘’sucks in ‘’ the sleep quantity it desires to/ it needs.

Waking up is with OUT alarm clock – body gets up automatically and totally fresh.

There are about 5 or 6 types of birds and I realised each of them start chirping from specified times only and that made me develop a fixed time to be realised matching with the birds’ activity. Hardly did I realize that 3 weeks later, my watch would stop and this experience and calculation would help me identify time precisely.

Obviously, everything is always dark inside and a torch light was needed to avoid groping in the dark and also guide myself to the dim lit zero bulb bathroom where the hot water of previous day in the flask was used to wash mouth as cold-water touch is prohibited.

Brushing was done with OUT any tooth paste and normal tooth brush, for tongue cleaning – a plastic tongue cleaner was used for. Most days stools will float in the toilet water, urine will smell milk significantly and NO bathing is allowed. Interestingly NO sweating happened even if I did walking about 3 kms distance every day inside. Most of the days the amalaki rasayana will stimulate the bowel movement, so I could never get ready with mantra chanting before 830 am.

6 to 630 am to 7 am was spend every day in walking gently and waiting for the rasayana at 730 am as Raghu or Prajesh will bring it and I will relish every drop of milk literally licking away every part of the glass tumbler. It was 25 grams of amalaki to start with for first 3 days and later became 30 grams in next 3 days and then dose was fixed as 35 grams in first weeks itself with 450 ml of warm hot milk in morning, same in evening too.

The weather inside the Kutee’s inner most layer is like air conditioned –a perfect environment and never did I sweat in the 35 days except AFTER I started having normal food last 2 days. If someone is allowed to be in contact with family once a week, allowed to read literature of one’s choice, to listen to music, to write what he wishes, to interact with people once in 3 days in mobile or WhatsApp – then the inner most layer of Kutee is the ultimate luxurious paradise on earth!!

Solitary confinement and nearly complete sensory inhibition is what makes it not easy. I realised I was confronting myself, I realised it is easy to deal with other people, but it is very tough to deal oneself,

I realised I was my best friend and my worst enemy in the depth of Kutee.

Dress code was simple – Life was free and so was the body. Every day I will change the dhotis – cotton – upper body and lower body was dhoti. No undergarments were allowed. I was wearing my 4 talismans with me every day as I value them immensely.

After consuming rasayana at 745 or 8 am or so, the call of nature was expected. For every time for body touching, warm water was the norm. I made sure mantras were chanted every time before consuming the rasayana. It was consumed in utmost sincere reverent attitude. I made sure that every time, I would check its aura field using my talisman.

By 9 am surely the caretakers will come and get inside my room and take away the plate and glass and also used cloth and provide fresh washed dhoti.

From 9 am, I will be ensuring that I am seated in the mat in the floor, reclining to the wooden pillar and chanting different varieties of mantras – 9 different ones in various quantities. I will be making mostly lip movements than producing loud sounds. After completing a specified quota for half hour, I would halt for 5 minutes and scribble down the quantity chanted on my note book in dark with torch light [ the torch’s light surface is covered with more white paper to reduce light intensity]. All the chantings were used to ‘’process/ triturate ‘’ the 757 Rudrakshas I carried with me – these are home grown Rudrakshas and I decided all the mantras I chant will be ‘’directed ‘’ to these holy beads.

By 11 am, an interval was rewarded – but NO edibles NO drinks. I would walk inside the room and make sure daily I was walking easily  3 to 4 kms starting from 2 kms to  3 to  4 kms per day in 15 days’ time. I have no measurements to prove in walking distance as I did Not carry any pedometer.

From By 1130 again mantra chantings would resume. I did hear certain confirmed events -like neighborhood ladies washing vessels and their conversation in an unknown language to me indicated nothing to me except the time of starting and completion, also certain highway trucks with specific peculiar sound and prolonged horn making at nearly fixed part of day etc… were few regular events that indicated time to me.

Inside the Kutee -no edibles or drinks are allowed, NO day sleep, No sleeplessness at night.

By 130 lunch time caretaker boys will come and serve 450 ml of milk from the cow.

Very tasty milk of high quality. The pre-noon routine of chanting, walking, resting will continue again and by evening I could know by the intensity of the shade of the sunlight that I am completing a day and was like a score to achieve completion of 30 days somehow, by any means. Even walking time also was included for mantra chanting. It was important for me to keep my distracting mind in good control with loads of the positive thoughts.

The day was spend brainstorming and fluctuating with thoughts of various nature and intensity. In my mind – I would complain of lack of opportunities to speak to family but same time the other side in me would challenge me by telling –out of thousands of Ayurveda vaidyas and doctors who lived in Kerala, only 2 people have completed this successfully. Not many people got the chance and that I must thank God that I am in a special league of the ‘’more than very privileged ‘’ at least in this eligibility criteria. I thought so because among Ayurveda physicians ONLY the legendary DR PS WARIER and the legendary VAIDYAMADOM VALIYA NARAYANA NAMBOODIRI could complete it successfully. Somehow, I just happen to be the youngest Ayurveda doctor in India to undergo this and complete it at age 34 yrs.

I firmly believe till this date, that it is NOT my merit   but the blessings of my mentors and also of the ancestors of Ayurveda that I was bestowed this golden opportunity of KPR.

Many varieties of thoughts would keep coming, my son Agnivesh was terribly missed by me and I would keep cancelling thoughts about him, I would remind myself of the very hard-working days of establishing the family business profession center that definitely stole away lot of my personal life time, I do Not regret it but I know what I missed, nothing great in life comes easy –it has a big cost to pay I reminded myself. I went through fluctuating thoughts of anxiety etc…

The birds have a pattern of chirping in evening and the room becomes more darker and darker as evening sets in. No mosquito problems as it is well insulated by black nets. I will always wear a slipper and Not allow the bare foot to touch the ground that was cold. It was not at all discomfortable to have the absence of daily shower. I never felt I am sweating –the room temperature was just perfect, nearly nil humidity.

Evening I will stretch the body little bit for 15 minutes or so.

By 730 pm the combination of 35 grams rasayana and 450 ml milk of cow. Then walk again half hour at least. In such manner at least 2 and half hours I have walked and I realized that the few days when I did not walk at least 1 hour, indigestion like situation was developing and stools were sinking in toilet water. Most of the days except may be 4 or 5 days I was fortunate – NO digestive upset happened. Somehow the dosage of 35 grams was the quantity that I could hold in the space between tip of my four fingers to base of the fingers meeting palm edge.

By 8 pm or max 830 I would consume the combination as hunger creeps in but will always ensure I was chanting mantras before consumption and walking after consumption and writing them all down the number of chanting.

Sleep would engulf me as eyes get very tired and I am asleep easily by 915 to 930 pm –a habit which continues in same manner even now Except for my trip to Europe in June 2014. Somehow the body is carried over by sleep and body is woken up automatically.

11 months now post KPR, I need only that much quantity of rice [ that i can hold inside my one palm with fingers enclosing the full quantity] to survive a day with good quality of health and vitality.

On 8th February by evening 430 pm I declared to myself that I am OUT of the hangover and I will face the KPR in best spirits. By 7th day I was nearly in full flow and first room cleaning that happens once a week, bed sheets are changed every 3 days though. I am totally used to the routine. I have completed nearly one fourth of the stay period. More than the intention to ‘’GO THROUGH ‘’ the process, I am more in the attitude of ‘’COMPLETING ‘’ the process. Landmarks of time and bench marks are created with many outside events like some birds chirping, noise of certain vehicles at certain timings, chit chattering of ladies of neighborhood and I will try to find out what is the time then. There is slight development of anal itching for unknown reasons. This was accepted for 2 days and when it became unbearable then I reported it to Dr Raviraj Sir who recommended neem oil-soaked cotton piece to be applied and relief happens surely but resurfaced later and relief happens again on application. It was found that if neem oil-soaked cotton was held for about 5 to 10 minutes-then itching was not bothering. If it was just below 5 minutes, then itching resurfaces. I had anal itching last time easily over 25 yrs ago as a young child. There are references that krimis will come out during KPR – I am NOT sure if this is a milder experience of such incident that happened to me. There are many things no one knows regarding KPR. Hopefully the Ayurvedic community realizes those intricacies in course of time.

I think I am liking the experience – to the extent I contemplate of extending the stay for 5 more days than originally planned …. unexpected decision.

’’BRAIN TWISTED ‘’!!!  I am very convinced that something has definitely happened to my thought process – something like a deep cut in the functional brain or as if some ‘’twist ‘’ – undeniable feeling.

I was an extremely messed up by mixture of various negative thoughts-I had a firsthand feeling of a situation if multiple psychiatric conditions coexist in me at same time with same intensity, and an extremely insecure feeling and realised how a patient with psychiatric ailments of multiple nature will feel like.

Mind in multiplicity mode for wrong reasons

It is said that in darkness two things are very prominent – one is hyper sexual drive and the other is extremely psychological turmoil. I was lucky to have the second one as it ensured my celibacy during KPR and that I maintained even after 35 days of completing the process and went on to maintain 35 days after completion of KPR. I was concerned if by chance I will end with any nocturnal emission however involuntary it may be. It was normal to feel erotic many times but the CANCEL… utterings helped to ward off such thoughts. 

video describes that I have reached the half way mark. Quite a relief in psychological plane

Very surprising positive feedback –after 14 yrs made a revision of the portion of properties of haritaki [from Asthanga hrdayam soothra sthanam  ] was attempted , and much to my surprise in 2 attempts of revising slowly  [ without gazing at those lines for longer than normal reading speed  ]  – 90 % was grasped form the 9 lines sloka and this gave me the first indication that yes Deergham Ayu , smrithi …the mind factor or brain factor is very correct.

By third attempt 2 days later -100 % was retained and recollected. In the coming days It became a hobby to use candle light Not hitting my eyes directly and through the veil of the cotton towel I would read various slokas, including the longest one of tikthakam gritham of kushta chikitsa of Asthtanga hridayam, all of them were easily by hearted by just ‘’looking ‘’ at them for normal speed reading by 3 rd attempts.

But I will not invest more than half hour and I made sure that its very short time doing so and it was a good morale boosting experience as I stated to feel the benefits of KPR – very much in the stay period itself. I went on to practice for many such items of Sanskrit slokas and all of them were easily by hearted with much minimal efforts – just as simple as reading the newspaper with relaxed feeling

Memory enhancement – Was it the KPR effect? or the situation of darkness? or the lack of distraction of outside world?  Whatever be the reasons I feel distinctively that memory is a major area to find results

Delusion? sense of expectation and feeling if my body height is increasing !? really weird thoughts haunting mind some times. I even video graphed my delusion. I could not believe what I was imagining such impossible physiological event and hence video graphed it.

One night there was a psychic attack as if two men are strangulating me and trying to kill me and I try to resist with my hands but could NOT get myself to counter attack those 2 men in my dreams. The suffocating feeling was that I was NOT able to respond, felt as if my hands were tied down.

I woke up at mid night, searched for my torch, looked for those ‘’ 2 men ‘’ but found none. Totally involuntarily – I yelled -JAI GURUDEV JAI GURUDEV !!- -that is SRI SRI RAVISHANKAR Guruji of Art of Living foundation -Bangalore to whom I am indebted to even though he does NOT know me at all. I believe this yelling helped me to withstand and endure those most terrible moments where I found myself nearly murdered.

Nevertheless, by the panic generated I felt like ringing the panic alarm bell but left the matter after I ”found ” no one inside the room and resumed back sleep after some time. Definitely its assured that no physical presence of any intruder was there as the room is locked from inside.

From the second half onwards of my stay, I kept on getting increasingly convinced that KPR has very deep level overhauling of psyche.

I had the following thoughts very deeply influencing me – enormous sense of charity –AUDARYAM in Malayalam, gratefulness, sense of being very responsible for the welfare of every one I now closely or even of casual acquaintance. Extreme levels of compassion were felt for people known to me at various levels. If at all I carried any ego [which I did not] – it all seems to have washed away for good. I made up my mind to train at least 50 thousand doctors in my life time -directly or indirectly – if my body health and wisdom allows me. Lot of positive thought frames plus innovative ideas, sense of gratitude kept creeping in. The respect and affection towards people I am indebted to get enhanced many folds.

It appeared to me -KPR is MORE than just an attempt to cure ailments or to rejuvenate an old body or to remain young endeavor. It appears to be a spiritual exercise to be a better person, more refined. A person who believes in the following lines .

Very often I remind myself that my life is depended and indebted to the labors of other men and women, living and dead, and that I must constantly work in order to pay back in the same measure to the world I live in   and the world I will not see after my life time…

by the last week -I lost my tag of ‘’doctor ‘’ and described myself in all sense as a – Servant of God!!

The attitude was of enormous compassion, gratefulness, humility, peace at many levels of the psyche and a gratefulness that I must make enormous efforts for the propagation of our science Ayurveda and that there must be more doctors who must know as how to conduct KPR, more patients getting benefitted by KPR   and make this as popular as Panchakarma is popular now.

It is this reason I am publishing my firsthand experience in an unedited version.

I made major positive decisions regarding medico social charities that I am already performing. These words were resonating –compassion … welfare … gratefulness to all those who have helped me.

Significantly enough -I realised how I was developing an attitude – ‘’ come hell or heaven -I will decide what kind of emotions I must go through’’, a situation where we decide our state of mind, where we decide our happiness -this kind of capability, for viewing an un favorable situation to one’s advantage. A very balanced state of mind -where we are fearless. Extreme fearlessness – even death could be embraced easily without regret or any kind of fearlessness. A sense of living ONLY in the present moment.

Memory & grasping textual matters were getting better and better and quicker with at least the slokas I had read 14 yrs ago and also totally new ones.

I remembered things of my early child hood as long as early 28 yrs ago events. Lot of past events were dug up from a layer of ‘’memory masking ‘’.

Regarding mantra chanting, I gained more and more numbers to be chanted. It was very intense practice and that I relished very religiously. I realised I was soaked in rasayana in physical mental plane and perhaps soaked in mantras chanting in a soul plane. It was a golden opportunity I gained for chanting mantras and processing the 757 Rudrakshas I carried with me to the KPR days. I ended up chanting 9 different mantras totaling to 204307 times. Till this date as of February 2015 – I have gifted those Rudrakshas to suffering people from at least 20 different countries.

Two days before coming out of the Kutee, I was asked to walk into the middle ‘garbha’ / layer of the Kutee to slowly acclimatize to a different air quality and light quality. ON the previous day of the coming out, I was asked to walk in the last layer to make it easier. The timings of these ‘’outings ‘’ from the deepest layer of the Kutee/ building were selected as early morning 6 to 7 am segment and I was just walking in these layers.

The penultimate day I saw the day light at 7am after 34 days and it was nothing short of a fire ball feeling – very intense and very bright for my eyes. On the day of coming out, it was decided to choose evening 6 pm dusk time as the sunlight was mild. I deliberately avoided the sunglass to realise what I feel.

Walking out of the Kutee I realized I had lost weight as I mistook my trousers to be that of my father in law! –such was the sense of lightness / lagahvam and the diminution of the abdomen girth –at least 7.5 cms of abdomen girth was lost –this is march 16. By May 10 it became 10 cms loss. I felt very light, boneless feeling and even a sense of possible falling down as the body was in a very weightless feeling. This lasted only for 2 days. Dr Mahesh, assistant of Dr Raviraj Kadle sir observed that my sclera looked very white and nails very pink. Of course, the face was fairer than before as no sunlight touched.

On the last I automatically had 3 am wake up and chanted panchakshari mantra NAMASIVAYA 5 thousand more times in next 5 hrs. For me it had 2 significance-one I realised that I unintentionally gained nonstop 5 hrs chanting which was impossible before, secondly, I crossed 1,01100 chanting of the mantra-108000 being the minimum to perform Ganapathi homam for basic qualification of some tantric practice which I did complete after coming out of KPR

AFTER COMING OUT TILL HOME

Next day travelled with Dr Raviraj Kadle sir by his car to the deep Sirsi forest for about 2 hrs and kissed and hugged the palasha tree that had harbored my medicine. It was interesting that new offshoots had developed within 50 days from the burnt palasha tree!!!  This is a striking finding as most trees are expected to ‘’die’’ after being burn such extensively – but NOT palasha!!  how did our ancient sages know this will be a matter of debate? I had a deep relief that the tree was not ‘’sacrificed ‘’.  Even till this date, every day in my prayers I offer my gratefulness to those 2 trees just as much I do for my mentors. Had hotel food for lunch and it agreed well to my system.

Next day travelled back to Kottayam by a 16 hrs train journey and for the first time in my life I was shivering in aircon coach. This is significant and unusual experience for me and perhaps explains why even till 37 degree Celsius in summer of 2014, I did NOT feel heat related difficulties which was a sure thing in the past and also my utilization of fan[ to cool body] has dropped down to less than half of my past years of consumption.

Food

For the next three months that is till June 19 2014, I made sure that I was having Brahma Rasayana 40 to 50 grams daily with milk 250 ml empty stomach

It was strictly vegetarian diet. Night too 250 ml milk was consumed. Not any kind of pickles or junk foods or bakery foods were consumed. Spicy foods were nearly avoided.

I was using dry fruits for lunch and food quantity was much lesser than before. Inspite of this I could easily efficiently work. Every day herbal water processed in ginger or jeera or ajamoda or khadira or sariba were used for drinking. Tea and coffee, I never had the habit of consuming, so it was easy to handle that. Ghee, honey, mudhga / green grams were nearly every day utilized. Rice was very less in the menu, wheat chappathi found more place in the menu.

Meat and wine were consumed only when I had to travel abroad to my friends’ homes that is 100 days after KPR when ‘’normal’’ routine food pattern resumed. Its also a fact that I gained easily 5 kgs in 1 month being outside India.

Lifestyle

I avoided the following from my lifestyle for next 35 days – heavy exercises, sex, excess talking with people, day time sleep, night sleeplessness. I was wearing sun glasses till next 100 days from KPR completion. This was socially embarrassing sometimes but was inevitable so that eye remains in good condition. Even the govt opd or other personal functions were with this dark glass appearance. There were many curious people to realise the reason of wearing dark glasses. Sunglasses were worn ALL the time except in sleep and shower. I never realised how important it was until tested myself without it in a family function and I felt irritated and discomfort after removing it for 4 hours in noon time. It was realised that coitus produced greater seminal fluid volume and greater retention than normal. More details of aphrodisiac effects are mentioned further on this article. Yoga we started after 7 days of reaching back home. I started with one Soorya namskaram and gradually increased with one addition every day and in one-month time reached 30 soorya namaskarm sets and maintained that. One of the best feeling was because it was early in the morning. I became more reclusive from social functions and preferred more personal space. By one-month time after KPR, I felt being in a biological automatic clock.

Random & precise comments by others

These statements are NOT medical parameters but frank observations by people as I was curious ‘what they perceive by my looks. Most of them commented an impression of young looking. Some even went to comment a youthfulness of ten years younger. Some said I have appear very lean. Maxilla area face fat was definitely reduced.  My saloon hair maker commented that the moustache is thicker but hair grey is either more or prominent. Some said appearance was of age 32, some 28, some 26 .in appearance. But there was DEFINETE difference in appearance towards a better manner. My very close friend Dr SethuRaj –Associate Professor in Govt Ayurveda college Tripunithura whose opinion I value commented that he did not find any major perceptible change in appearance but grey hair appears prominent which he attributed to the existing black hair becoming ‘’more’’ black.

My official senior and clinical teacher Dr Rathi B Unnithan madam made observations of frontal tuberosity decreased and that I too feel so to have this structural ‘’change ‘’. She also commented of ‘’manggal ‘ / diminution of ’ of texture / aura in the first 3 months span post KPR . I totally value and 200 % -two hundred percent – trust the sharp, perfect observations of my clinical teacher Dr Rathi B Unnithan as she is a very excellent clinician and scientist.

Personal Observations

Observations in long term for the next 15 months are furnished further in the article but for the first 35 days are mentioned now itself as this was the ‘pathya period ‘

Chin grey hair remained grey, so did few grey hairs in chest. To test My memory I used the slokas of panchakarma indications and realised Quicker than before grasping, longer retention of them. It was also relevant to realise many sloka aspects’ retention were without reasoning applied. The portions just remained in ‘’memory space ‘’. One of the best experience was of Tikthakam gritham of kushta chikitsa in which 5 out of 11 lines were memorized in the very first attempt and in the 2nd attempt 95 % recovered. This is not by staring at those lines for prolonged time span but by maximum 2 or 3 reading for about 5 minutes. Noteworthy is the fact that these lines were revised last in 2001 -13 yrs ago. There was a similar experience inside Kutee on the 16 th day – there are 9 lines sloka of properties of haritaki in ashtanga hridayam sutra sthana [last read by me in 1999] and they were memorized by just 5 minutes glaring in dim torch light view and by 3rd attempt of 5 minutes each in 3 days it was 100 % memorized. It was my self-test inside KPR Kutee. 35 days after KPR in a train journey I made a self-testing to find 90 % of them retained and that too with OUT any revision of the portions. 1999, 2014 February and April 2014 are the only times to view those slokas.

There is better memory / retention of number related matters or those once read slokas.

But there is No photo graphic memory so far. I know a patient of mine who belongs to the very elite MENSA group which is the group that has the highest IQ people in the world and to get qualified to that group is very tough as only 121000 members could qualify for it out of 7 billon world population. This patient has never consumed ghee or any therapies but he has photographic memory. Anything once seen is ‘’imprinted’’ in his memory space. KPR does NOT provide that –at least to me.

Once I was unintentionally main gate locked out of my home by my wife’s grandma as the rest of our family were outside district and she thought I was already sleeping in my top stairs bedroom. Infact I did not have my mobile with me and any amount of shouting outside the main gate did not yield the result of getting her attention that I am gate locked and so I went to a neighborhood home and used their phone to call grandma and could avoid jumping over the gate

Somehow, I managed to recollect her number 8281618700 that was casually memorized few days ago. There are many such ‘’memory ‘’experiences and its interesting that the very second indication of RASAYANA is smruthi !! as the sloka goes deergham ayu smruthi  medha aarogyam tarunam vayah, prabha varam svaroaudaryam …

Physically I found tendons more prominent – obviously by fat loss in body generally, Contour of Knee more prominent. I could notice thinning of calf, thigh fat decreasing.

It was pleasant feeling to realise that there was No / negligible yawning happening to me while performing energy healing sessions on patients with psychiatric ailments. Before KPR energy healing sessions did drain me out of energy even though the patient gets benefitted immensely. Yawning being a clear indication of fatigue of body and mind. Now it’s not the case.

Certain mantras like aghora used for energy ‘’ corrections’’ do not need to be chanted multiple times – many times one-time look is enough and I realised that in Europe visit in my friends’ homes midjune mid July 2014.This is measured by the technique called dousing which is a common practice all over the world.

Kutee KPR is definitely a ‘’recharger ‘’ as I realized that was perhaps over worked in the last 9 yrs of establishing something important to our family profession. The recuperation was easily realized as right from KPR days these were the per night sleeping hours reducing nearly [ not exactly] every week 9.5, 8.5, 8 ,7 .5, 7, even 6 .5 to 6 hours ie. the first week had 9.5 hrs of sleep per night: by the time out of KPR it became nearly 7 hrs sleep and as of June 2015 sometimes even less than 6 hrs of sleep is enough per night to function efficiently with reasonably good energy for about 12 or 13 hrs   It was like ‘’nourishing ‘’the overworked body and mind. On this aspect, our yoga instructor manages good quality of sleep for just 5 hrs – 11 pm to 4 am segment and he has intense long standing 20 yrs of yoga practice to make this happen.

Benefits or results or observations or events –I prefer using all these words to narrate all that I have come through in my professional and personal life -which has made enormous positive impact to my life.

Most of them have NO clinical research importance to a scientist or scholar. Hence, I request the reader to think twice before venturing to read through this section as it is more personal in nature than clinical lab importance or study purpose importance.

These narrations may NOT qualify for a ‘’scientific study ‘’ but given the fact that there is NO available documented present-day information on KPR direct first-hand experience, this narration holds importance.

15 months post KPR, as I observe my body and mind to assess the impact of KPR, I make a conscious effort to be unbiased and neutral in my evaluation. It is important that I consider the changes that were positive, negative or non–existent. The following is an honest and factual account of my observations and experiences relating to physical, psychological, social, professional & medical realms.

AURA

No one ever mentioned noticing an extra ordinary ”aura ” or ‘’ tejas ‘’ around me. No one ever mentioned that my presence in any audience made me ”look special / distinct’ ‘I still remain the ordinary looking person.

BODY FAT

My face appearance is the same except for losing some fat below the eyes and around upper cheeks. The body appears more trimmed than before as the body fat has decreased. Chest- muscular area shows more muscle bulk which only I can see, attributable to sun salutations done post KPR.

VISION, HEARING, SMELL AND TASTE

No distinguishable changes noted in vision, hearing, smell or taste.

HAIR

No changes in hair in terms change in color from grey to black. –  However, intensity of the color of black hair has increased. Black appears blacker. The same applies for moustache and beard as well. Also, at least in my case – new grey hair growth has not stopped. In the many months post KPR section frontal tuberosity has decreased as per my senior colleague who was observing me keenly.

FACE

Face skin appears lustrous as per the observations of many. On viewing my recent photographs, some said I look several years younger. The moustache appears thicker.

PHONATION

Phonation is the same. Neither others, nor I have observed any changes.

TEETH

No changes in teeth but tongue coating – appears lesser than average.

PERSPIRATION

No changes in nearly daily perspiration tendency, however, the perspiration does NOT smell bad at all. Summer heat is now much easily endured compared to previous years and I am able to manage without fan or air conditioner. I am able to endure temperatures up to 37 – 38 degrees Celsius without feeling distressed. The question arises if this is reduction of fat or loss of muscle or pitha   being reduced.

CHEST CARDIO PULMONARY

Pre KPR, I experienced SLIGHT exertional dyspnea when very rapidly climbing anything over 150 steps. However, this is much less or negligible compared to pre KPR.

EMOTIONAL HEART

The balance is better as I do not get carried away from painful sights and condition of people.

APPETITE

Feel hungry at defined intervals like a clock unless overeating has happened.

Regarding hunger for specific food items – there is a greater inclination towards vegetarian, easy to digest food, warm kanji/ yavagu/ gruel/ porridge, ghee, honey, green grams/ mudga, salads, freshly prepared food

a subconscious and palpable aversion towards to nearly nil interest towards the following –

meat, junk food, cakes, bakery foods, biscuits, chocolates, refrigerated food, ice creams, food stuffs older than 6 to 8 hrs from preparation,

ABDOMEN FAT

Abdomen fat has decreased, more muscular in abdomen, finding the grove lateral to rectus abdominis. I maintained the inch loss of abdomen by regular yoga, more so Soorya namaskar

BOWEL BEHAVIOUR

In the past 15 yrs being in the govt mens hostel of college like most others in the dining area morning conversations with fellow inmates, I had developed a habit of sipping in hot water every day morning that would stimulate the intestines.

Post KPR, koshta/ bowel nature has found to be more mridu, within 10 to 15 minutes of rising up, the bowels get cleared unless the previous night had a heavy dinner or over eating heavy to digest food late at night just one or two hours before of sleeping time.

only 3 times in the last 400 days i encountered a delay period of evacuation for about half hour and that may end up in two movements or max three instead of one.

GENITO URINARY

Urine – flow same, color depends on water consumed quantity and exercise

SEXUALITY/ APHRODISIAC EFFECTS

This is sensitive topic, I did think many times to write or not being a very personal matter. For the sake of the Ayurveda shastra, we all are indebted, I decided to reveal.

Objective aspects first

in nov 2013 the result in AIMS was

my sperm count 30 million, morphology 25 %, motility 30 %, liquefaction 30 minutes

Post KPR – 90 days – in 2014 June middle, in AIMS I was unpleasantly

[not panickily] surprised to find my sperm count 7 million [ seven !!], morphology 60 %, motility 30 %, liquefaction 45 minutes

I waited for just 4 days and made resubmission in a different lab in Kottayam to find my sperm count 23 million, morphology 86 %, motility 50 %, liquefaction 45 minutes. A different value in just 4 days!!

Another wait of over one month and retest in another different lab than the first two, sperm count 80 million, morphology 90 %, motility 45 %, liquefaction 45 minutes

Readers may be disappointed about this increased liquefaction time but I prefer to be honest than ‘’technically politically correct ‘’. We all know the sperm counts must increase within 30 days to 45 days of any internal medications, leave alone panchakarma procedures.

By May 2015, 80 million is the sperm count. but liquefaction is over 60 minutes morphology 80 %, motility 50 %.

I must also admit here that from mid-march 2014 to mid-June 2014 I had consumed lot of dry fruits in the form of best quality date palms from gulf and draksha from iran that would be easily together 5 kgs in 90 days with daily easily half liter milk and lot of reduction in spicy food. I will have to attribute this caused increased liquefaction time but how the 7 million reports came I have no idea.

nevertheless, subjective aspects are as follows

I must admit there is enormous aphrodisiac enhancement in the domains of libido thoughts- conscious and subconscious, erectile initiation & retention aspects and enhancement of the performance.

There is more seminal volume in ejaculations, psychological and physical ability to perform FULL FLEDGED act even multiple [ 2 or 3] times on a single day is a definitely possibility. These are the abilities of early twenties age group. In situations of abstinence, it is DEFINETLY possible to channelize the intense libido energy to constructive creative work with TOTAL control / channeling of passion.

There is definitely sustained erectile capability that will last much more than longer standard timing. Body and mind does NOT get tired even after multiple sessions, even over indulgence in short span of days does not make any deficiency in normal life in any aspects.

On a similar note, few of my foreign patients have honestly [ I assume so] conveyed to me that they have the ability to perform full-fledged sexual act more than 5 sessions in a single day and that took over a sustained period over 6 months. These men from Australia, Europe and Middle east are of least 28 to maximum 45 yrs old. These were the effects they claim to have achieved after panchakarma [ NOT RASAYANA] and their ladies are nearly fed up of this. One of them is a drug addict now.

KPR has NOT made such an impact to me, neither did I attempt such [mis] adventures.

There is NO structural change in genitals aspects by any means.

THIGH MUSCLES

Initial 3 months after KPR – they were lesser than usual diameter, perhaps muscle atrophy? but later in the overall 6 months from KPR – more muscular and prominent

KNEE

2 months after KPR once knee pain surfaced and resolved automatically, for no reasons I felt fragile with knee but resolved automatically

TRIGGER POINTS

of thigh and calf – nearly 100 % rectified. Its noteworthy that these trigger points do Not fully resolve even by needling or other invasive methods

only sneha agnikarma has been found to destroy these resistant trigger points at temperature of over 125-degree Celsius

It’s amazing that a mridu appearing dravya like amalaki has such potency of an Agnikarma effect in such stubborn clinical conditions

CALF FOOT TOES, TOE NAILS

same

SHOULDER, UPPER ARM, FORE ARM

muscles are sturdier and fat has decreased

NO noticeable muscle bulk enhancement or vice versa

HAND

same

NAILS

pinker than before, no changes regarding its consistency or lack of brittleness

nail growth – nothing relevant in its re growth speed

BODY HEIGHT

NO change it still remains same 167 cm,

but in April 2015 one place recorded 168 cm, I am sure this one cm difference is just a simple error of the measuring tape

BODY WEIGHT

before panchakarma was 72 kgs

after panchakarma was 68 kgs

after Kutee before the lavish food trip to Europe in 2014 was 64 kgs

then Europe trip of one-month mid-June – mid July in 2014 and very different food habits – rose up to 69 kgs with meats and wine, cheese and butter

and then after coming back it became 67 kgs

and in spite of the best possible diet control and regular exercise almost every day, the body weight is maintained between 67 to 69 kgs

In spite of moderation of food and abstaining from non-veggie or greasy food and even a never before high intensity 50 sun salutations of yoga for 90 days from early Jan to mid-April – the body weight does NOT come down

But in June 2015 I was in a family trip in Turkey for 2 weeks to spend time with my friends and the magnanimous hospitality coupled with my over consumption of high quality meat, wine, cheese and butter ended up in me gaining 4 kgs body weight in just 2 weeks. So KPR does Not create immunity from weight gain if the food pattern is not well behaved. These days I had zero exercise and lost the ability of rising up automatic 330/ 4 am segment. Only after 2 weeks after reaching back home, the normalcy could be restored in biological level.

METABOLIC AGE

By February 2015 using the most advanced machine in Thodupuzha Sports Ayurveda cell unit

it showed 22 yrs in athletic mode and 27 yrs in normal mode

Before PANCHAKARMA

on 6 Dec 2013 – Metabolic Age showed 34

After PANCHAKARMA

On 1st feb 2014 – Metabolic Age showed 32

After returning from KPR

On 17 March 2014 – Metabolic Age showed 28

On 31 march2014 – Metabolic Age showed 26

On 14 April 2014 – Metabolic Age showed 26

On 2 may2014 – Metabolic Age showed 29 in Ernakulam sports Ayurveda unit

On 10 may 2014 – Metabolic Age showed 23

On 16 may 2014 – Metabolic Age showed 25

On 22 may 2014 – Metabolic Age showed 26

On 12 nov 2014 – Metabolic Age showed 37 – in an exhibition in town of VLCC company

the parameters evaluated by this machine are weight, body fat, muscle mass, bone mass body mass index, daily calorie intake, metabolic age, water percentage

Visceral fat

Interestingly a better metabolic age is found whenever visceral fat is least and highest water percentage in body

MA of Body composition analyser in the neighboring gym showed age, but the gym got closed and after 16 may I could Not have access to any such a machine until nov – by chance came upon an exhibition of vlcc

The following metabolic ages [MA] were found

for visceral fat 7 % – metabolic

age MA 24, water 56.7 %

age MA 23, water 58.5 5 were noted

for Visceral fat 8 %

MA 25[ water 57.1 %]

MA 26, water 56.3 % and   water 57.5 %

MA28, water 55.3 %   –

how is that?

for visceral fat 10 %

MA 29 [ water 55.6 %], April 2013

MA 32 [ water 54.5 %]

MA 34 [ water 53.4 %]

for visceral fat 11 %

MA 33yrs [ water 54.5 %]

I have honestly furnished the observations, I am not with any intention to prove anything by these datas as I am still NOT sure how a machine of just 25 thousand INR can measure metabolic age

Or is it a pre-fixed arrangement of considering water percentage in body, also visceral fat and also body fat percentage influencing the metabolic age

Another big sized famous gym in Vytilla area Cochin did NOT even have provision of MA measurement

Nevertheless, I feel very youthfulness feeling and that is what I will value more than just machine reading

IMMUNITY

Here are 4 undeniable events that convinced me that immunity is definitely enhanced in KPR. First, was an eye infection where my eyes were red with itching and pus forming. However, this was resolved in just [ with in] 2 days by taking 3 sessions of triphala kashayam dhara on eyes.

Second, was a high-grade fever with URTI with viral fever like symptoms that had made me bed ridden and very weak. In fact, this was probably my own doing. I had consumed an over dose of curd and honey together in a forest area and did high intensity yoga even in the initial phase of fever in spite of warning from my wife. Something that would have taken at least 5 days to resolve in pre KPR day , took only 2 days. By 3rd day itself, I was on active duty; a big shift from my bed ridden stage.

Third, very interestingly a spot of indraluptham that came of its own in the left chin area is now receding on its own!! I started noticing this effect from the beginning of March 2015 and I could not believe that alopecia areata / indraluptham can start improving AUTOMATICALLY. To be sure of this, much to the displeasure of my wife I went on growing beard and moustache for 45 days without face shaving and I started doing a video recording and in the later stages of the recording I could clearly identify small thin hair coming up –some black, some white. I am very sure of this finding and will upload the video in www.agnivesh.info.I wonder if this is an indication of the resistance of body against ailments. This is the latest information of june last week 2015

Fourth, a small sized wart had developed in my right thumb later aspect in april 2015 and I was tempted to eradicate by Agnikarma but kept postponing for no genuine reasons. Much to my surprise by early june, it shed off by itself. I had NOT consumed any medicines, or any pastes applied and even Agnikarma was NOT performed to find this ‘’falling off’ of the small sized wart.

My thoughts, why can we not try KPR in modified protocol in compromised immunity cases and in diseases of yaapya or krichra sadhya types

SLEEP

After returning from KPR in march, an interesting sleep pattern followed where I needed fewer hours of sleep with each passing month…

Below is the pattern in daily waking up timings as months progressed:

These are segments and not every day exact minutes but deviations from the above schedule were NOT more than 10 minutes. Mostly, I would wake up automatically during BRAHMA MUHURTHA. A short compilation from march 2014 to June 2015

5:30 am   March and April 2014

5:00 am May 2014

4:30 am mid-June 2014

Mid-June to mid to last part of July – erratic highly varied timings of waking up and sleeping

It took 3 weeks to get back to rhythm after 28 days of Europe trip that was a travel of changing one country every 5 days

4: 00 am mid-august August, September 2014

3:30 am Oct, Nov, Dec -2014, 2015 Jan, and Feb beginning 2 weeks

4 :30 am March April 2015

By end of April, I Started to decrease Soorya namaskaram from 50 sets to 40 to 30 sets/ every day pattern and was able to achieve early rising from next month

4 am    May, 2015

Erratic irregular sleep pattern in Turkey trip for 2 weeks and so May last week to first 2 weeks of June 2015 – waking up at varied timing of 6 am or 7 am

330 to 4 am segment from 3rd week of June 2015

Somehow the desired sleep of and wake up patterns are NOT achieved in foreign trips, may be jet lags or irregular life patterns

But otherwise most of the nights I would fall asleep automatically by 9 to 9:15 and if I happened to stay awake until 9:30 pm segment, I dropped down like a rock on bed. Interestingly enough I will rise automatically by 330 am segment as if someone is ‘’waking ‘’ me up, such was the adjustment in my   automatic body clock. I never used alarms for waking up post KPR because such was my precision and reliability on the biological clock – perhaps I realized I am automatically waking up at Brahma muhurtha or even a bit before –the time recommended by Ayurveda. This enabled me to save nearly 3 hours of my daily life as compared to PRE KPR-days and nearly gave me about 800 hours of more working hours and wakefulness in the last one year and that did help me bring to day light my dream project of www.agnivesh.info for the welfare of doctors and patients.

From mid Feb 2015, I realized I am unable to get up at 330 am and ended up getting after at 4 am and worst case up to 430 am but all these did have late sleeping at 10 pm etc or even 1030 pm. I wondered if the effect of KPR started diminishing ? Or if it was the summer season demanding more rest for the body or did the decreased food quantity reduced water intake have a role to play? I nearly got convinced the most possible cause was over exercising and I began testing my speculation. From 10 Jan 2015 I had started doing 50 sets of Soorya namaskaram every day including Sundays and that too NON-stop 55 minutes. This was probably making my body demand 6 and half or even seven hours of sleep.  I decided to test the sleep behavior and by early April I was convinced and when I went back to 42 sets I found the rhythm coming back to 4 am or even 345 am or sometimes 330 am. It was a clear RE learning of the lesson to Not indulge in over exercising.

DAY SLEEP

Day sleep NEVER happened, only on one occasion during summer season I slept off spontaneously from being tired for 15 minutes. This nap proved to be very refreshing and I realized that we must accept and listen to the needs of the body.

ENERGY LEVELS

Working capacity got enhanced and the stamina to withstand long working hours with OUT feeling tired an iota and with full focus and clarity.

I clearly feel the stamina to withstand long working hours while retaining focus and clarity.

Compared to pre KPR days of 8 to 10 hours of daily work, I could now stretch myself with complicated working situations for 13 hours a day and that included Sundays. Working from 630 am till 830 pm is now easy due to KPR. Post KPR, I saved nearly 3 hours every day because of being fully satisfied and reenergized with fewer hours of sleep.

Typically, I have a ‘’ Pitta ‘’temperament. However, I notice that in difficult complicated situations, I am much calmer / ‘’cooler’’ in how I handle situations that would have normally have upset me in the past. But in situations where I feel I am wronged by someone, this calmness is substituted by extreme anger and tit for tat attitude, same as before KPR days. Few of my intimate friends comment that as in the past, its aggressive and sometime seemingly ‘’ bitter pungent ‘’behavior. This is observed only in situations where I am convinced I am being wrongly treated deliberately.

Nevertheless, I have a clear-cut philosophy for mis behaving people- a person is NOT the problem, but a person HAS a problem and this is the maxim that now governs the new attitude. This does not imply that appropriate response to person causing trouble is discounted. Measured aggression/ assertive behavior is always utilized by me when the situation demands that. There is an appropriate and measured level of firmness in dealing with events requiring disciplinary action.

Assertive behavior is very much enhanced.

There is NO brooding over of any unpleasant incidences. There is nothing like regret for anything. This attitude of pre KPR days still holds on

MEMORY

Memory necessary for problem solving situations has increased. But I still occasionally forget names of people in govt opd but the ailment and medicine prescribed to such patients is very intactly recollected.

COMMUNICATION

I find myself more effective and assertive [sometimes arrogant] while communicating and notice a general improvement in communication skills and many of my friends observe the same in me. Functionally, the capacity to persuade people has definitely exhibited good changes

I am not sure if this is called VAAKUSIDHI which I will consider effective usage of communication to convince people.

CHARITY

Be kinder than necessary because everyone is fighting some kind of battle- is the attitude that rules me much more strongly after KPR. I always had this attitude even before KPR. But its magnitude is enhanced multiple times. There is an extreme sense of charity towards people. Compassion is enormous even towards people not much known to me. A definite sense of belongingness towards people but at the same time a sense of ‘’detached ‘’ attachment. In same measure, the interest in participating in social events / gatherings has decreased very much. Spending more time with family is more sought for.

ATTITUDE

It is now much easy to practice responsibility without pressure of results / likely outcomes.

There is sense of ‘’nothing or no one bothers’’. There has developed a sense of defiance also-if you don’t like me that is your problem, Not mine!

Living in the present moment attitude is further re enforced.

‘’LET GO ‘’ attitude in disappointing situations and I do not hang on with thoughts of any unpleasant experiences

FEARLESSNESS

Perhaps, having gone through a very intense experience at KPR where the mind was stretched and challenged in many different ways there is a new-found confidence and fearlessness in being able to deal with the most difficult of situations and people. Positions of people – official, financial, social are just erased from mind but that does NOT imply forgetting to abide by social norms or protocols.

Even the thought of death is an ‘’accepted” reality. Politeness is not lost even if measured aggression is present. Patience learned during stillness of KPR is helping me ‘’lose time sense ‘’ and feel stable in situations which would earlier make me restless like traffic jams, power cuts, loud noises, and shopping trips where I reluctantly accompanied my wife. Even sleeping without a fan has become possible in power cuts. There is a sense of ‘’deeper ease’’

PROFESSIONAL EFFICIENCY

The time spent with people or those who seek my professional services is now reduced compared to pre KPR days.  Instead, there is greater focus on coming up with a better plan or arrangement for increased welfare of the patients. Many innovative ideas emerged spontaneously in our family work place which include better management of staff and processes.

The intuitive power in general has increased- this is my firm feeling. I cannot prove but I am nearly convinced that I am able to predict with greater certainty responses of people and outcome of events. There is an increase in overall efficiency in planning and execution as a result of being able to delegate effectively, improve documentation, and scheduling.

Time tabling & documentation that were good before, became more better, events more organized and well executed has helped many professionals known to me and also the patients too

HANDLING ENERGY HEALING SCENARIOS

As regular performer of bio energy healing like Pranic healing, I often felt stuck before KPR. Post KPR, this is much more manageable now. Now, I can even manage energy vampires with greater stamina and ease. This is evident from the decreased yawning episodes and tiredness that was inevitable since 2008 to Jan 2014.In contrast, energy healing has yielded very effective results for last 8 or 9 months after KPR completion

MANTRA USAGE

By the grace of God, I was gifted various mantras of Tantric tradition unexpectedly and few special personalities showered me with the knowledge of few uncommon tantric practices and mantras. Post KPR, regular mantra chanting has now become part of life and it has enhanced my well-being in many planes. I cannot prove to anyone but it can be easily realised. I could chant total 204307 times collectively 9 different mantras inside the KPR as it was nearly 11 hours a day chanting inside KPR

DEADDICTION

Just after KPR, I was able to voluntarily give up my ‘’addiction/ passion’’ towards swiss made chocolates that I had been relishing for last 10 yrs. I surprised myself and my family when I started donating these swiss chocolates to people I knew. This is a big shift for me as I had no problems in voluntarily donating blood but would not part with Swiss chocolates; in pre KPR days shamelessly I will NOT share swiss chocolates even with my wife or mother.

Over all, my current state of wellbeing transcends the physical and psychological realm

In this context, I remember words of DR RAVIRAJ KADLE Sir in mid-March, 2014,

‘’ Doctor Sreejit!!   6 to 8 months, after KPR you will realize changes and that you will feel intensely but still NOT feel like telling anyone and there are few things that you should not tell; not even to me ‘’.

I asked him then what it was   and how would I even realize it happened to me? To this he said – ‘’you will know it surely and you will remember my words being correct ‘’.

By this early May of 2015, I must admit he is correct and there are unspoken benefits of KPR that cannot be communicated easily.  I am confident if any one of you go through KPR in an authentic manner you will agree with me 6months AFTER completing KPR.

My small but firm effort of daring to go through KPR is was possible because of all my mentors to whom I remain indebted and I have mentioned them in the initial parts of this article.

As I was spending wave sand waves of thoughts inside the KPR, I was wondering about the unforgettable contribution of Late Dr Sankaran sir, former DAME of Govt of Kerala in my thoughts of how he really wanted to propagate this KPR technology and how unfortunately he had a premature death.

I was making plans how to make Kutee more popular and how to encourage more doctors to go for it, how to involve more patients.

My prime target is to get KPR in the govt sector even if in a modified protocol because we need at least 100 documented cases in ailments inflicted people. Mine was just on healthy individual trying to explore KPR in many dimensions.

In June 2015 a patient of mine hailing from Turkey informed me how his friend had a splendid remarkable recovery to her lungs condition which I was told was a collapsed lung situation [ I am not sure of exact diagnosis – we are trying to get in touch with that person whose contacts have been lost by my source person] that was given the verdict of incurable. Since it’s not a direct feedback that I heard I narrate what was told to me.

She now has zero symptoms and she achieved the benefits in just one week by subjecting herself to her home’s modified dark room. She did that by painting the glasses of her room in full dark , converting her single room to total dark , wearing dark glasses all the time even if its dark inside. Windows were covered in dark cloth. She had normal life inside in the form of food as it was served by her family.

Now I am told that her lungs ”reinflated and she became normal. I do not know authentically full minute details but I trust the reporting of my source person and this gave me a spark if someone can achieve this without any poorva karma, or panchakarma or rasayana herbals or trigarbha cottage or long 30 days, maybe we need to ‘’modify or relax ” the regimen to allow more candidates to qualify for it. I dream if we can make an X ray room kind of room into a ”modified ” Kutee and ensure No wind NO sunlight contact to person inside.

These are my assumptions to reach unto the last …in the society as taught to me by the great Late Raghavan Tirumalpad Sir to reach the last poor man of the society so that KPR does not remain only for the elite but also the most common man in the society.

I dream of at least 100 doctors attempting KPR on themselves, if not for 1 month at least for 1 week. I dream of 1000 patients undergoing it in whichever possible manner and by this we can hand over a collective information data base to the next generation who can practice KPR better than us for the welfare of the society and of course the science of Ayurveda that we all are very passionate and dedicated about.

I shall upload the word document of the entire KPR series into my website www.agnivesh.info which already has all the videos but NOT these minute descriptions

Registration is free & only registered members are able to view all videos of KPR

I conclude by reasserting

Very often I remind myself that my life is depended and indebted to the labors of other men and women, living and dead, and that I must constantly work in order to pay back in the same measure to the world I live in   and the world I will not see after my life time…

Kuti Praveshika Rasayana is isolation from the outside world entirely along with giving all sensory points in the body complete rest. All senses such as sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch are given a break from the daily activities. The minimum procedure time is 4 weeks and can go on for months. A cleansing process is followed by the isolation procedure. During the isolation all aspects required to inhibit the senses are incorporated. During the stay within a hut specially designed for this, a diet of milk and ghee [clarified butter made from the milk of a buffalo or cow, used in Indian cooking] and no solid food. As per evidence, the results are mostly evident on the day of leaving the kuti (hut) itself. The blanket of age seems to have been lifted off, dead skin and years of damage is cleared off and overall the body weight is reduced and looks right for the age.

The process is reasonably long and engaging and requires die hard commitment. It has been broken down for clarity and understanding below:

Before undertaking a procedure this involving, it is advisable to prepare oneself for the days to come. Usually, KPR is isolation for a month or more and therefore, there is a need to slowly reduce the frequency of the usage of mobile phones, laptops and all other social fronts including actual act of meeting people or going out. When this is practiced gradually, beforehand, the transition to the kuti lifestyle is easier in comparison.

The first procedure is to dedicate at least a month’s time to Panchakarma procedures. Panchakarma is the treatment form to detoxify the entire body extensively. There are 5 therapeutic treatments that eradicate the toxins from all parts of the body in all possible ways.

It begins with Snehapana and Vamana. In snehapana, only various quantities of medicated ghee is given to the person until the day, the person attains samyak snigdha (ghee saturation). The body has to be completely rested through these stages.

This is followed by Vamana, or medical vomiting to eliminate the toxic elements. This process is induced with the consumption of medicines.

The next step is Virechana or purgation which includes procedures to induce bowel movement using laxatives.

Next step is called Nasyam, nose is the gateway to head as per Ayurveda, a process of medicine intake through the nasal passages to clear the passage.

This is followed by Vasti, which is medicine intake through the anal passage to clear the reproductive genitourinary and digestive system off the toxins.

At a suitable stage, Raktamoksham or letting out of the blood is performed. Venous punctures on the surface of the skin help release all the toxic or impure blood from the body.

Before getting inside the kuti, a pathyam (regimen) needs to be followed. The Ayurveda lifestyle includes vegetarian food, routine, hot water consumption and no sleeping during the day or exercising. It’s crucial to fall into this pattern at least gradually to make sure that at the Kuti, one is not overcome by the complete rest in the kuti. A lot of mental preparation goes behind undertaking the procedure.

At this stage you enter a building in the shape of a hut where in the innermost sanctum of a 3 layered structure is devoid of light or sound. The temperatures are automatically maintained owing to the unique style of construction. The only form of human contact will be when meals are served twice a day, hence causing inhibition of touch.

Inhibition of taste is done by the food regimen followed on all days of the kuti stay. A portion of Amalaki rasayana and milk from the Vechur cow (a native breed believed to produce medicinal milk owing to its consumption of herbs only) are the only things that form the meal, twice a day. There are various options of Rasayana that is suitable and can be implemented varying from person to person.

Over time, one’s body gets adjusted to the body clock and a routine is developed. Most people in the ancient time resorted to chanting or praying (tapasya) during the day to keep them engaged.

The benefits are in fact plenty and vary from person to person. The differences in fact are also dependent on the number of days spent at the kuti. Visible changes include:

Defying age. Reduction in metabolic age.

Curing of skin problems

Less stress

Routine in life

Healthier diet, better digestion and high immunity

Reduction in fatigue and ability to add more productive hours to a normal day

Better concentration and attention span.

Better and sharper memory.

All internal functions are corrected

Thicker and more luscious hair growth

Loss of additional body fat. Body is brought to the correct weight for age and height.

Better seminal quality and improved count (for men)

Mental changes. The experience makes one realize the value of a lot of things they take for granted hence leading to better spiritual and mental understanding.

Addiction control

Athreya Ayurvedic Resort in Kottayam, Kerala is the only known resort to practise and propagate KPR under the expert guidance of Dr. Sreejith. Dr. Sreejith underwent KPR himself at Karnataka and understood and researched each and every facet about the procedure before building a kuti in Athreya resort.  The kuti adheres to every norm about Vastu and procedure as per ancient texts to ensure the temperature and lighting in the innermost sanctum is perfect.

At Athreya, Dr. Sreejith propels an interested guest in the right direction mentally and physically to undertake the task. He uses his own example to make guests aware of each and every fastidious fact about the procedure. He mentally readies the guest to be able to live in isolation for a long duration.

The resort’s farm has Vechur cows for the special milk used in the procedure.

The hut (kuti) is made of brick walls and thatched leaf roofs or tiled roofs to maintain the temperature inside. The kuti is divided into 3 concentric square spaces. The window placements are such that from each layer, penetration of light is minimal. The outermost layer has narrow windows very close to the ceiling. The second wall has narrow windows which are nearly touching the floor. And the final layer, once again has windows touching the roof. This way, the innermost sanctum remains pitch dark to provide complete vision inhibition. With the concentric wall formation, outside noises are reduced largely causing hearing inhibition. Smell is also blocked off as the structure is situated at a place where there can be no external smell which is strong enough to cause much damage to the procedure. This thoughtfully recreated structure is a result of extensive research and extreme precision.

Dr.Sreejit holds the rare distinction of being the first Ayurvedic physician in recorded history to have fully documented KPR in all available means and also performed kirlian photography before & after KPR and having monitored and observed the benefits for 2 years .He is indeed the first Ayurveda physician to have photos, videos and documented in modern parameters the KPR to bring to light the magical effect of this nearly lost therapy. As of, 2014 he is the youngest recorded person to undergo the treatment.

Tapaswiji Maharaj is said to have lived 185 years. He learnt the protocol from a yogi in the Himalayas and performed KPR on himself thrice.  He eventually handed over the secret to Swami Sachidananda who eventually passed it on to Dr. Raviraj Kadle, who is still practicing in Karnataka.

Anonymous, Turkey: A guest of Dr. Sreejith’s got in touch with him to discuss about a friend of his who performed a more simple way of the procedure in her very room. She darkened the windows and walls and locked herself up for about a week and saw immense improvement in her critical lung condition.

KPR was thought to be the elixir of old times. There are references from the long past which states that this procedure helped people defy age. We are hoping that by following this long forgotten ancient procedure, it would explicitly benefit the metabolism and ensure a fruitful and disciplined life. The fact that this treatment was a common practice during ancient times does help understand the healthier and longer lives lead by the sages and ancestors in the bygone eras. In today’s world the kind of seclusion and discipline that is needed for KPR is challenging. However, it is not impossible and by gradually training the body, one can rest assured that the mental control involved can be sharpened the procedure can be successfully undertaken. Finally, when one looks at the magnitude of benefits from this procedure the challenges are worth undergoing, after all.

The pineal gland starts to increase the production of ‘pinoline’, whereby a greater fluidity of thought and healing of the body starts to occur. This period allows for transition, wherein numerous meditations will be carried out, which will incorporate projection of the energy body and astral travel along with (Iron Shirt) Chi Kung.

At this stage the pineal gland also starts to produce the neurohormone 5-MeO-DMT. This psychoactive tryptamine is highly luminescent; it is also extremely phosphorescent due to the amount of phosphene that it transmits onto the visual cortex.

The neurotransmitter 5-MeO-DMT (‘akashon’) is normally only active when we are in the womb and in the first months of our lives. It is now reactivated in the darkroom. 5-MeO-DMT switches on 40% more of the cerebral cortex and awakens the nervous system to become aware of itself; ‘beingness’ results. It is the empathogenic neurotransmitter that expands the emotional body between ‘infinity and zero’. It gives rise to telepathy in the emotional and intuitive bodies. It engages the awakening of the ‘Flower Of Life’, the spine, which begins to glow in a state of beingness and peace. 5-Meo-DMT discharges the darkness from the darkroom. A bright light will be activated. This Great White Light, the manifestation of the astral body, enables the self to project externally. Many exercises will be practiced during this period; compacting Chi, consciousness and awareness into the nervous system, working with the Silent Self and anchoring the Immortal Body.

There is now enough ‘Mono Amine Oxidase Inhibition’ triggered by the pinoline, to allow the pineal gland’s ‘serotonin to melatonin cycle’ to be intercepted by adrenaline and ephedrine activity and converted into a ‘serotonin – DMT pathway’. When DMT levels reach more than 25mg, one’s experience can become very visual. DMT is the visual third eye neurotransmitter. It enables the energy body and spirit to journey into hyperspace, beyond third dimensional realms of time and space. It is intensely energizing. At this stage of the Dark Room Retreat, the required amount of sleep tends to diminish dramatically. Although the day may last 24 hours, 3 hours of sleep can seem like 12. During this period we will engage in further practices; psychic games and interactivity, Taoist Dream Yoga (advanced levels) and Imagination Expansion.
