Dear Drs. Sanjay and Anjani Kulkarni,

Vaidyajis, I write this letter to express the immense gratitude, I feel for all that you have generously shared with me throughout the Basic Principles course.

I found this course via a ‘random’ internet search, and with little deliberation, committed based on a positive sense from your photographs and words, and of course, faith. Long before coming to India, I deeply desired to find a good teacher to convey the rich and prolific knowledge of Ayurveda, Under your tutelage I soon discovered: my hopes were aiming low. Not only two teachers, who showed integrity by willing to tutor me personally, but beautiful human beings who mirror consciousness, wisdom, knowledge, commitment, bhakti, strength, peace and bliss…daily. Simply, I feel privileged to be your student, and honoured to share in your company.

Vaidyaji Sanjay, thank-you for your ability to share openly and frequently about the deeper aspects of life and spirit; for your passion for both acquiring and living knowledge; for creative analogies and timely, mutual giggle-inspiring jokes; for teaching, reminding, and representing that life’s inherent nature is to experience authentic, lasting bliss.

Vaidyaji Anjani, thank-you for your photographic- like memory of complex Ayurvedic physiology and processes; for your passion and focus as a scholar, healer, teacher, and server; for your enthusiasm to discover and share new ideas about culture; for your most joyous, erupting laughter.

I feel sad and admittedly shed some tears, as this month draws to a close. For me, it has been a nourishing and enlivening period of consistent intellectual discovery, inspiration in both the banal and spiritual aspects of life, mental and souful human interaction, a refreshing and positive energetic environment, and firm, not- afraid-to-be-direct- support. Essentially like being held, and guided in capable, but gentle hands.

As with nature’s evolving time this change is upon me and I am excited about the abstract. And practical truths I have learned, and look forward to deepening and discovering further by practice and devotion; also, to share with others. Perhaps a “radiant center” is on the horizon;).

Humble in spirit, thank-you especially for sharing friendship and love. Truly, I feel blessed by Brahman – and living an auspicious life-for this opportunity.

Jewels of pashan rd,
In appreciation and respect always,

Your student,

Dear Mrs. and Mr. Kulkarni,

I hope you both are well.

Since two weeks already I am back in Switzerland. I am quite well so far, except my back. The "rough" climate in Zurich is not so ideal (it's cold and the humidity is quite high). But my weight is down to 69 kilogram with no special effort! I am very happy, that I did the Panchakarma treatment and most of all that I chose it at your place in Pune. Even though my English is not so good, I could communicate as I wished, I gained a lot of profit.

I would like to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your commitment and kindness. It was for sure not my last visit in Pune.

Kind Regards

Statement of Panchakarma Treatment from March 2nd to 17th, 2007 at Bavdhan, Pune

We (2 friends and I) didn’t expect such a warm welcome at our arriving in
Bavdhan/Pune, as we entered the clinic. Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Kulkarni are very
friendly people. They gave us the feeling of very special people and not
just as ordinary patients.

What I experienced during the treatment itself was an absolutely individual
and very professional care. Every morning I had a personal appointment
where Drs. Kulkarni looked at the status of my health and the progress of the
treatment. After the pulse diagnosis Drs. Kulkarni would decide what will be the best treatment for the day.

I am very happy with my health after this treatment and the condition I
regained. Since I am back home again, I follow still a special diet, given to
me by Drs. Kulkarni, for another two weeks.

Thank you both once again for all the good and interesting talks we had and
especially for the laughter.

Dearest Doctors Mrs. and Mr. Kulkarni,

I would like to express my sincere thank you for my two weeks Ayurveda diet, nutrition and digestion course at Shruti International Ayurveda Academy.

I was really impressed by an outstanding teaching, authentic Ayurvedic knowledge, excellent and professional presentation, delicious food, clean and comfortable accommodation. 

At Shruti Ayurveda Academy I found a great balance between authentic Ayurveda knowledge, professional experience, synergy between East and West cultures and implementation of your world wide experience in your teaching.

I was impressed with the well structured and logically laid out course material and Drs. Mr. and Mrs. Kulkarni explained the knowledge in a very simple manner, easy to grasp, funny and understandable to any individual of any culture in the world. Therefore, the deep ocean of AYURVEDA knowledge seemed so approachable and close to my own folk traditions, Lithuanian philosophy and the way of diving. 

My visit was rejuvenations for my body, mind and spirit and visible benefits in deeper understanding of Ayurveda principles. I am implementing this knowledge not only in my daily routine, but also spreading to other people and health care institutions in Lithuania.

Sincere thanks to dear, warm loving and knowledgeable family Drs. Kulkarni. 

Thank you very much for your great service, hospitality and all the help and support!

I am looking forward to cooperating with you again personally or professionally. 

Best wishes from Vilnius, Lithuania

Dearest Doctors Mrs. and Mr. Kulkarni,

The Women Health Course designed specially for me by Drs. Kulkarni was excellent. It was informative, interesting and challenging, providing me with correct and indepth information on Ayurveda by applying it to Womens Health.

Teaching in detail
The Womens Health Course focused on Ayurveda principles and its application to a womens life cycle. The importance of following the natural laws for everyday life. Starting with pregnancy, birth, and the development of the girl, from teenage years though to menopause. At each stage we looked at Ayurveda principles, health issues, diet, detoxifying methods and yoga among others.

The Course pace and content was based on my needs and included both theory and practical sessions, such as oil massage and simple cooking recipes. 
I enjoyed the start of each day where we would spend a little time to meditate and say a mantra, and I came to understand the importance of ensuring my own mental/spiritual preparation in order to help others by doing this.

Recommendation
From the course i feel i have an excellent understanding of Womens Health and have already been able to apply my new knowledge to help women (and also men!) to achieve health and happiness in their lives. 

The Womens Health Course exceeeded my expectations and i would highly recommend Drs. Kulkarni as thorough and interesting teachers of Ayurveda.
