The Five Pillars of Panchakarma – Reimagined for Today
Panchakarma means “Five Actions,” and they are:
• Vamana – Therapeutic emesis to release deeply seated toxins from the stomach and lungs
• Virechana – Gentle purgation to cleanse the liver, gallbladder, and intestines
• Basti – Herbal enema therapy for total colon rejuvenation and Vata balancing
• Nasya – Nasal administration to clear the mind and enhance clarity and respiration
• Raktamokshana – Blood detoxification to purify and revitalise the circulatory system
These therapies are prescribed based on your doshic imbalance—Vata, Pitta, or Kapha—and your current health condition. No two programs are ever the same.
⸻

🌳 From Forest to Front Desk?
A Sacred Tribute at IVAC
Our founder, Dr. Talavane Krishna, shared that the breathtaking reception desk at Indus Valley Ayurvedic Centre is far more than a piece of furniture—it is a story of restoration, reverence, and resilience.
Crafted from reclaimed sandalwood branches, these sacred remnants were preserved after poachers stripped IVAC’s original trees of their core trunks. Instead of discarding the fragments, Dr. Krishna envisioned something deeper: a living altar. A symbol.
“All the wood you see is grown at IVAC. The front is clad with sandalwood pieces saved after the poachers stole the main usable part of the tree. These are arranged to represent the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.”
Now, this desk greets every guest with a message:
🪵 Healing can emerge even from harm.
🌿 Ayurveda lives here.
✨ Every detail at IVAC is intentional.
This isn’t just a desk.
It’s a prayer in wood.
A sanctuary in itself.
And yes, we were named Best Ayurvedic Centre in India.
Because we let the trees speak.
And how does it get any better than this?
WooHoo!

📸 Good Morning Bright and Shiny Loved Ones
From the sacred stillness of the IVAC forest… a new day rises, not with noise, but with knowing.
The sandalwood trees whisper. The soil breathes. The path ahead is clear—and it leads home.
Come walk with us.
Here, healing isn’t scheduled. It’s felt.
Here, nature doesn’t decorate wellness—it is wellness.
🌧️ Rudra Japa at IVAC — Calling the Monsoon, Nourishing the Soul 🌿
Every April–May, before the first clouds gather over Chamundi Hill, our IVAC family unites for a ritual as old as the Vedas: Rudra Japa, the chanting of the Sri Rudram to Lord Shiva—the cosmic rain-bearer, healer, and protector of all living beings.
In these moments, twelve Vedic priests in saffron and maroon robes recite 1,000 sacred names while a mandala of roses, marigold, and jasmine blooms at the centre of our home. Fresh jack-fruit, yams, dragon-fruit buds, and mangoes—harvested from our own organic gardens—are offered back to the very forces that brought them forth.
The fragrance of ghee-lit flames mingles with mantra, carrying a single prayer skyward:
“May these rains fall gently, feeding every seed sown for our guests’ healing and our community’s prosperity.”
Why do we do this?
• Agrarian Rhythm – Sound precedes form. By honouring the monsoon six weeks before its arrival, we seed the sky before we seed the soil.
• Ayurvedic Balance – Balanced rains mean balanced doshas: calm Vata winds, soothed Pitta heat, nourished Kapha growth.
• Collective Blessing – We pray not only for IVAC but for every farmer, vendor, and child who depends on this life-giving water.
These photos capture the heartbeat of the ceremony—Dr Krishna and Smt. Savithri leading the invocation; offerings laid upon the vibrant kolam; priests chanting as the first inner rains begin to fall.
As the monsoon now revives Mysuru’s red earth, we invite you to pause, feel the cooling breeze, and remember that true medicine begins long before the leaf is picked—it begins in the cloud that blesses the root. 🌱
May this season bring abundant harvests, radiant health, and peace to all.
With love from Indus Valley Ayurvedic Centre 💧🙏

🌿 A Moment for Peace | A Prayer for Humanity 🌿
Today, as tensions ease between India and Pakistan, we pause—grateful, humbled, and deeply aware of the divine grace that flows even in conflict.
At Indus Valley Ayurvedic Centre, we believe healing begins in the unseen—within the hearts of people, between nations, and across borders. This ceasefire is not just politics. It is prana returning. It is proof that prayer, pressure, and purpose can align when humanity chooses the higher road.
To the leaders who listened.
To the peacemakers in shadows.
To the millions who prayed with heavy hearts.
We see you. We thank you.
Now may this fragile breath of peace grow roots.
May Kashmir be blessed.
May children never fear the sky.
May dharma guide every hand.
And may all our hearts remember: We are one.
🕊️ From Mysuru, with love and sacred silence.

It all began six decades ago, I decided to be a doctor when I was in my second grade.
My mother used to be very sick and was many times in the death bed. Nearest doctor was 12 miles away. There were no roads or phones. We had to send someone by foot who could reach the doctor as fast as possible and bring him by foot, the only possible way to travel at the time. Monsoon rains and thunder would be in full swing. Walking through the tropical forest with leeches sucking blood, carrying medicines in the pouring rain was not an easy task by any stretch of the imagination. The doctor would arrive, treat my mother and save her. He was a wonderful person smiling and assuring me that my mother wouldnt die. I was sitting next to my mom and crying, worried she may die any moment. With my tender heart I would beg my mother not to die and I would be a doctor when I grow up and take care of her and there would be no need to wait so long for a doctor. I would tell the doctor that I wanted to be like him, a doctor. He would smile and say “sure you can”. This was the beginning.
I met my spiritual Master and mentor when I was 13 yrs old. I was intensely absorbed by his personality at all levels. I got my first introduction to the profound philosophy of the Vedas and especially Ayurveda during my one year stay with him at his home when I was sixteen. Guided by and through his blessings I became an allopathic doctor. One day during the time I was with him he told me “Ayurveda has suffered eight centuries of decline. It needs to be brought to the forefront of the modern medicine. It requires lots of planning to catch up with the lost years. You have a mission to accomplish this”. I asked how I could do this when I was being advised to do study modern medicine (Allopathy). He said it is important that I study Allopathy and whatever knowledge needed for me in Ayurveda would come to me when needed.
Nearly 3 decades passed by since that moment. I had graduated from the medical School and later did my post graduation in Anaesthesia and the journey took me from India to UK, Canada and the USA.
In 1992 I came down with some physical illness for which I could not find any relief in the modern medicine. However I could find much relief in Ayurveda and Yoga. This period became the turning point of my life and the process of conceiving what IVAC is today began. A team of Ayurvedic Vaidyas was put together and we started planning as to how to train therapists, doctors, plan the buildings, run the business and more.
We conceived a vision of bringing Ayurveda to the forefront of the modern medicine. Lots of thought had to go in to materialize the vision. I created a vision tree as follows;
After five years of careful planning IVAC officially started its business in September 1999. Since then the vision has been moving forward in a methodical way and we have won several awards and received ISO certification. IVAC has very good reputation both in India and abroad. People from over 55 countries come to our place. Now IVAC is a small prototype for the big vision.
IVAC’s mission is to plan and move in the direction of the vision. Living with a vision itself has been spiritual. Whether one accomplishes that in this life or in many lives to come is not important.
