THE VEDIC VILLAGE….. TEMPLE COMPLEX

NATUROPATHY & AYURVEDIC HOSPITAL:Ayurveda, the science of life, has brought true health and wellness to millions of individuals throughout

the ages with simple changes in daily living practices. Ayurvedic practices restore the balance and

harmony of the individual, resulting in self-healing, good health and well balanced long lives. Naturopathic

medicine is based on the belief that the human body has an innate healing ability. Naturopathic doctors

use diet, exercise, lifestyle changes, and innovative natural therapies to enhance their bodies' ability to

ward off and combat disease.

In case of treating the frail and elderly, Ayurveda and Naturopathy are the best methods and are more successful because, elderly people are unable to take the serious impact of antibiotics and western medication on their already frail bodies. Too many pills and excessive surgeries can render them weaker. Both Naturopathy and Ayurveda do not tax patients too much and does not cause them excessive discomfort by inducing chemical and unnatural substances.

The Hospital Complex would comprise of Main Buildings, Treatment Blocks for Gents and Ladies, Dormitories, Shared Rooms, Suites, independent cottages, kitchen & dining areas, staff quarters so as to offer range of services to all sections of patients. The range of specialisations would include treatments for Rheumatic Diseases like arthritis, paralysis, nervous weakness, etc, Spondylosis & Spinal Cord related disorders, Respiratory & other allergic diseases, Obesity & lifestyle related ailments, Degenerative & Old age related ailments.

The Hospital will personally tailor a wellness program specifically targeted to the patient's wellness needs using the least invasive yet highly effective techniques and services. Many health issues can involve numerous components, requiring multiple bodies of knowledge for proper assessment and effective treatment. A team of multi-disciplined therapists make recommendations for holistic treatment based on experience within their respective disciplines. Those recommendations form the basis of the individualized wellness program.

The Trust would be working in association with several State & Central Governmental Institutions/ Departments, Research Organisations, Existing Hospitals, Multinational Corporates. The first phase of the Hospital is expected to be operational from Oct'2013 with an initial bed capacity of 100 inmates.

The range of specialisations/treatments/ departments would include:

(Preventive & Promotive Section): Unique OPD to analyze the Prakruti ( Nature/Physical and mental constitution) of an individual, instructions and lifestyle modifications are taught to prevent manifestation of disorders.

(General Medicine): Expert consultation and treatment would be given for diseases like Joint pains, Skin diseases, Diabetes, hypertension, all types of Gastrointestinal, Respiratory, Circulatory, Muscular, Neurological disorders, Neurovascular and Urinary disorders.

(Psychiatry): Manasa Roga department treats, prevents and promotes psychological health. In this unit the treatment would be offered for Epilepsy, Stress, Depression, Sleeplesness, Drug abuse and other psychological disorders.

(Pediatrics): Monitors child health, treatment given for various ailments afflicting Respiratory problems, Neurological disorders including Physical, mental retardation. Facilities for Pediatrics Panchakarma, special therapys like Swarna Amrita Prashana, Pumsavana, Bala Samskara, etc would be available.

(Surgery): Diseases that require surgical intervention like ulcers, fractures, anorectal diseases, urinary disorders and others would be treated. Special para surgical procedures like Agnikarma, Ksharakarma and Jalukavachama would also be done.

(Obstetrics & Gynecology): This unit would offer treatment to all common health disorders in women, pre-natal/post-natal problems.

(Eye, ENT and Dental): Would offer treatments for disorders pertaining to eye, ear, nose, throat and dental with therapies like Tarpana, Putapaka, Anjana, Aschotana, Pindi, etc. Effective treatment is offered for chronic sinusitis, headache and refractive errors of eye.

CENTRE FOR ALTERNATE MEDICINE

CENTRE FOR ASSISTED LIVING

The Center for Alternative Medicine would be an alternative healing center that focuses on the interactions

among the mind and body, and the powerful ways in which emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and

behavioral factors can directly affect health. The center would focus on the belief that physical health is

influenced by thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and conversely, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be

influenced by physical symptoms.

In case of treating the frail and elderly, alternative treatment methods are more successful because, elderly

people are unable to take the serious impact of antibiotics and western medication on their already frail

bodies. An alternative medical center can address these problems for the elderly, and there is an innate

necessity to create institutions that promote and use these traditional means of treatments.

Many health issues can involve numerous components, requiring multiple bodies of knowledge for proper

assessment and effective treatment. The primary goal is to identify and eliminate the source of the problem,

not just the symptoms. The Centre for Alternate Medicine would offer interventional strategies to promote

emotional well-being, spiritual nourishment, and physical health. The Centre intends to teach patients how

to use healing powers to reduce stress and other negative behaviors and thoughts - and thus maintain or

regain health. The Centre would offer a variety of healing therapies, to improve health in an effort to reduce

the risk of pain and illness in the first place.

The Center for Assisted Living is intended to cater to Elderly population who are suffering from disabilities of

old age related ailments, recovering from surgeries/paralysis and also terminally ill patients. The Centre is for

those elderly individuals with disability and people who want long term care, medical attention & therapies.

The Assistance might include help with personal hygiene and grooming, dressing and clothes selection,

showering and bathing, assistance with eating, continence management, mobility, socialization, and

medication management.

Due to presence of wide ranging health care services and professionals within the Township, people who

need assisted living will have complete care and supervision. Our distinctive approach to assisted living would

allow residents to live as vibrantly as possible. The aim would be to help residents achieve and maintain an

optimal level of physical fitness. Special exercise programs would be available on a daily basis under medical

care. In addition, residents would be encouraged to participate in other activities that they enjoy. Dietary

consultants review all menus to ensure that the residents are getting proper nourishment at all times. The

Centre also provides in-house physical therapy and 24*7 nursing assistants as needed.

The Centre would be working in close association with leading Corporate Hospitals, who are unable to

provide dedicated and efficient care, prompt staff to do many tasks for older patients. Most Corporate

Healthcare Institutions are constrained by the timetable suits and schedules of the healthcare providers and

individual patient identity, requirements are lost thereby creating an atmosphere of dependence at a time

when they should be fostering self-reliance.

The Centre would have cottages, suites, shared rooms and dormitories to match the requirements of any

category of individuals, so as to ensure our residents live healthy, more fulfilling lives with personalized

Assistance and medical care.

The Centre would also be having an education and training division which would train healthcare providers,

physician attendants, nursing practitioners, nurses, physio-therapists and any other clinicians/professionals

in various aspects related to geriatric patient care.

OLD AGE HOMES & COTTAGESShankara Agraharam…. The Vedic Village is conceived as a Geriatric City (a residential township dedicated for the elderly). The plots in the township or the institutions therein are not intended for individuals having school/college going children or for those who still have active professional/ employment obligations to be discharged. It is meant for people who are free from financial and family obligations and would like to lead a life true to the traditions enjoined in Sanathanadharma. The individual plot owners may construct their houses/ cottages and lead an independent life with self-cooking or use common dining facilities offered in the township, and live in an ambience of Agrahara amidst Vedic, Religious, Spiritual & Healthcare Institutions.

Those individuals from Brahmin Community who do not have their own plots in the township and would like to live their – either singly or with their spouses – would have a wide ranging options of renting cottages, houses, suites, shared rooms, dormitories, etc to suit the financial budgets of all ranges.

As a part of its main Objectives, the Trust would be operating an Old Age Home, with the primary aim to provide FREE boarding, lodging and healthcare facilities to atleast 100- 200 elderly Brahmin Scholars who have spent their life times in vedic, religious, dharmic activities. The Trust would seek the support of various Peethadhipathees Acharyas & AKBMS in identifying & locating such elderly Brahmin scholars who are living in penury and perpetual suffering and deserve support.

It is common knowledge, that after a life-time spent in paurohityam & allied activities, elderly Brahmin priests are left with no income sources and the pension that is granted ( if any) is so meager which leaves them to lead a life in perpetual penury. The plight of those scholarly Brahmins who brought the next generation also into the traditional archaka line is far worse…. as the income earning capacity of temple archakas is so low even to support their immediate families leave alone their parents. These Brahmin scholars are made to suffer worse because of their biggest contribution to Sanathanadharma, i.e. keeping their next generation also in the traditional brahminical role.

It would be our earnest endeavor, in the first phase, to accommodate atleast 100 of such elderly Brahmin vedic scholars, free of any charges in the township and gradually increase their numbers over a period of time. Their services will be utilized in performing nitya-homas, rituals in the temples on all special occassions, shanti japaas, etc on a regular basis.

The Trust would be constructing a large building complex to accommodate the elderly Brahmin scholars, provide for modern kitchen facilities with Brahmin staff, and dining facilities with strict regime and traditions. Substantial part of the contributions received from the sale of residential plots would go for funding this activity and all the plot buyers can derive immense satisfaction of their respective contribution to Sanathanadharma Parirakshana.

A separate piece of fertile agricultural land in Pavagada Area has been identified to locate Goshala, cultivate high quality fodder and allied dairy activities. The income generated from this activity would be the permanent source of revenue to provide for the expenses related to Old Age Home. The Trust would be seeking donations/ Godanams/ Annual/Monthly maintenance of these cows, which will go a long way in creating the requisite Corpus Fund for the activity to be continued for generations to come.

The Trust is confident that mere presence of such elderly Brahmin scholars and their daily rituals would make Shankara Agraharam a truly Vedic Village and invoke the blessings of Srimannarayana on all its constituents.

Medical

Surgical

Geriatrics is the medical specialty which focuses on the care and treatment of the elderly, usually patients

who are 65 years of age or older. Practically, geriatrics combines two elements: gerontology and chronic

disease. Gerontology refers to the study of aging- it addresses all aspects of how aging affects individuals.

Geriatrics adapts this knowledge to improve the provision of care to older persons. Geriatric management

is likewise complicated by the presence of multiple, simultaneously inter-active problems, which often

reach across several domains of life. The goal of geriatric care is to maximize the functioning of patients.With senior citizens being the most rapidly growing segment of the population and represent some of the

most difficult elements of medical care, there is an inherent and innate need for specialty geriatric care that

should be as generally available to older adults as pediatricians and pediatric specialists are to children.The Trust is setting up a fully integrated Geriatric Health City … a township dedicated for the Holistic Care of

the Elderly… with healthcare institutions like Specialty Geriatrics Hospital, Naturopathy & Ayurvedic Hospital,

Centre for Alternate Medicine, Centre for Assisted Living & Rehabilitation, Old-age Home & Cottages are

being established to make Shankara Agraharam the answer to Elder Care in India. Over a period of time and in

due phases, the Hospital would create OPD & IPD facilities to offer a wide ranging specialties and services like:

• Cardio geriatrics (focus on cardiac diseases of elderly)• Geriatric dentistry (focus on dental disorders of elderly)• Geriatric dermatology (focus on skin disorders in elderly)• Geriatric diagnostic imaging• Geriatric emergency medicine• Geriatric nephrology (focus on kidney diseases of elderly)• Geriatric neurology (focus on neurologic disorders in elderly)• Geriatric oncology (focus on tumors in elderly)• Geriatric pharmacotherapy• Geriatric physical examination of interest especially to physicians & physician assistants.• Geriatric psychiatry or psycho geriatrics (focus on dementia, delirium, depression and other psychiatric

disorders)• Geriatric public health or preventive geriatrics (focuses on geriatrics public health issues including disease

prevention and health promotion in the elderly)• Geriatric rehabilitation (focus on physical therapy in elderly)• Geriatric rheumatology (focus on joints and soft tissue disorders in elderly)• Geriatric sexology (focus on sexuality in aged people)• Geriatric subspecialty medical clinics (such as geriatric anticoagulation clinic, geriatric assessment clinic,

falls and balance clinic, clinic, palliative, elderly pain clinic, cognition and memory disorders clinic)

• Orthogeriatrics (close cooperation with orthopedic surgery and a focus on osteoporosis and

rehabilitation).• Geriatric Cardiothoracic Surgery• Geriatric urology• Geriatric otolaryngology• Geriatric General Surgery• Geriatric trauma• Geriatric gynecology• Geriatric ophthalmology

The Trust is already working in association with several leading Corporate Hospitals, State & Central

Government Agencies, Research Organisation, eminent Academic Institutions, Pharma-Companies, NGOs,

etc in creating International Standard Specialty Geriatrics Healthcare facilities.
