OUR STORY
Brothers Ayurveda Retreat : A Journey of Traditional Ayurveda Since 1960
Brothers has its roots in the traditional Ayurveda Kalari Yoga group of Kerala. A journey that began way back in 1960 as it was established as the great Ayurvedic Kalari, Marma and Mantra chikilsa by the great Ayurvedic Vydhya (physician) traditional group formed by our Grandfather Ashta Vydhya (marmani) Kuttan Pillai, passed on to our Father Vydhya Sivan Pillai and his brother Vydhya Narayana Pillai. Now this knowledge and these methods have been passed down to (Brothers) Vydhya Sathish Pillai (sathi), Vydhya Sanish Pillai (Sani) and their sister Shajini Pillai.
We manufacture our own organic herbal medicine for use in all our treatments. Years of experience, knowledge and expertise in traditional Ayurveda methods still forms the basis for all Brothers Ayurveda treatments.

The Legacy of Traditional Ayurveda
Traditional Ayurveda is far more than a system of medicine—it is a complete science of healthy living. For thousands of years, Ayurveda has helped people maintain harmony between the body, mind, and spirit while promoting a balanced relationship with nature and the environment.
In today's fast-paced world, Traditional Ayurveda continues to provide a natural approach to preventing illness, improving immunity, reducing stress, and supporting long-term wellness. At Brothers Ayurveda Retreat, we proudly preserve these ancient healing traditions while offering personalized care that meets the needs of modern lifestyles.
The Origin of Ayurveda
Ayurveda is one of the world's oldest healthcare systems, with a history spanning over 5,000 years. It is considered a branch of the Atharva Veda, one of the four sacred Vedas of ancient India. These Vedas are regarded as the oldest recorded sources of knowledge and were preserved through generations before being documented in written form.
The four Vedas are:
- Rig Veda
- Yajur Veda
- Sama Veda
- Atharva Veda
Over centuries, great Ayurvedic scholars organized this knowledge into classical texts that continue to guide authentic Ayurvedic practice today.
Classical Ayurvedic Texts
| Books | Authors |
|---|---|
| Charaka Samhitha | Acharya Charaka |
| Sushrutha Samhitha | Acharya Sushrutha |
| Ashtanga Hrudaya | Acharya Vagbhat |
| Ashtanga Samgraha | Acharya Vagbhata |
| Madhavanidana | Acharya Madhava |
| Sarngadhara Samhitha | Acharya Sarngadhara |
| Kasyapa Samhitha | Acharya Kasyapa |
These ancient texts remain the foundation of Traditional Ayurveda and continue to guide Ayurvedic physicians in diagnosing diseases, preparing herbal medicines, and delivering holistic treatments that promote lifelong health and well-being.
