Living and existing seem very similar but vastly differ in salience. This difference was brought to me with a bang in a village not far from Coimbatore city at a health resort that gave one all that we miss in the urban meta-messworld that we have made of it. The serenity of noise free living, the natural landscape one misses every single day of our bungled life, the simplicity we rue to have lost to untrameled metroisation. Add to it a genuinely caring retinue of doctors, other medics and catering staff whose only station in life seems your complete emotional seduction into their universe… and never underestimate the gift of being able to meet some wonderfully gregarious and immensely talented folk you find difficulty in identifying in the rush for existence back home. Patients, some with chronic complaints love to let their hair down in the company of newly ordained friends almost as if they have known one another for aeons!

Not many would lay much faith when one makes such a sublime statement, ascribing it to a momentary skidding of emotional intelligence on a sticky wicket of gooey hospitality. No sir, the “gooey” hospitality at most “hospitality” centres evaporates after a couple of days’ stay there and one starts to wonder if home is still not the best place to spend one’s vacant leisure hours. Here it stays with you for your entire sojourn and the flavor lives for ever thereafter.

The village of Navakkarai about 40 km from Coimbatore city wakes up to the sounds of the peacock, warbler, the coucal (bharadwaj) and many of their ilk whose music beats the laya and taan of the shehnai, sitar and suntoor playing in tandem! By the time you are done with your morning chores, your first dose of prescribed herbal tonic is placed outside your room with an oh-so gentle knock on the door. And the day has begun to the accompaniment of “patients” swishing into the treatment rooms with the therapists in tow. Copious use of oils, herbs, pulses, seeds and medicinal flowers makes for an exotic experience that defies ones trust in modern medicine. Treatment ranges for complaints ranging from migraine to the dreaded C word and all the ailments in between. And the hospital itself doesn’t claim any of the successes it has achieved in overcoming the most life threatening illnesses, which is what endears it to the patients even more. There are documented success stories from emancipated patients from India and abroad, who can’t stop singing its paens for getting them out of Cancer, liver cirrhosis, Tuberculosis, spinal problems, orthopedic complications and comparatively less serious ones like spondylosis, and knee joint issues. Above all, what floors the first-time visitor to the hospital premises is the wonderfully laid landscape of the campus, where the greenery virtually hides the operational cement and steel structures that seem too shy to make their presence known to the world! But they simply can’t hide for too long – for the registers are full with “patients” with illness to report, and many just wanting to try their detox program of three weeks, jostling to book their rooms months in advance. A huge proportion of advance bookings is invariably from beyond Indias borders – from South Asian nations to Europe, Russia and Latin America; and many are repeat visitors who come back for the sheer spiritual high amidst the serenity in the trees and the employees that gives them a reason to live rather than just exist.

If you have been a favorite child of your parents, and have flown the nest for education or employment away from home, you will surely have experienced the fawning attention your parents shower on you on your every visit… It would be no exaggeration to say this health resort makes it akin to the child returning to it’s home every few years to lap up the undiluted affection of Saranya!

Yes, we are speaking of the Saranya Ayurveda Hospital in Navakkarai, Coimbatore, which well and truly serves as a home away from home, where we experience living as it should be.
