My second novel in English based on Ayurveda, 'The Ayurvedic Healer' has just released.
Ayurveda, is the oldest and most holistic medical system on this planet
today. It is a system of traditional medicine native to the Indian
Subcontinent and practiced in other parts of the world as a form of
alternative medicine. It is an age old scientific method of healing
with natural products. Knowledge of Ayurveda has been recorded in two of
the Vedic texts: the Atharva Veda and the Rig Veda, which are more than
5,000 years old.
Set in the intriguing atmosphere of India in the early 20th century, full of
mysticism, love, compassion, and political drama, The Ayurvedic Healer
tells the story of Madhavan Namboodiri, a physician practicing an ancient
medical science, and his enduring love for Rosalie. By healing the
underprivileged, regardless of their status, touching the untouchables, he
follows his beliefs and disobeys the rules of his society. His life story is set
in the background of India’s struggle for freedom, the communist revolt in the
Southern State of Kerala, social advancement, and the emergence of new
societies. The Ayurvedic Healer sweeps the reader into an exotic place
and time, rendering an intimate experience through sharing Madhavan Namboodiri’s
life and love.
