Buddha Kalari

Buddha Kalari,an Academy of Kalari Marma Ayurveda Therapy and Kalaripayattu,has the distinction of keeping alive a great legacy of martial arts and marma chikitsa handed down for generations since 1924. During the last eight decades, it has pioneered in Kalari Marma chikilsa, based on Ayurveda and has guided the evolution of the tradition of Kalari Marma Treatment. The centre had spearheaded the promotion and propagation of the tradition of marma massage and marma treatments by organizing many International and National level workshops on Marma Therapy. The present Marma Master Dr. C.S. Suchith represents the third generation of Kadakkal Vilakom family that has preserved the ethos of Kalari Marma Treatment and Kalaripayattu in its true spirit and value. Dr. C.S. Suchith is an expert in marma and has written a book on the science of marma Marma Sastram. His Highness Sri Uthradam Thirunal Marthanda Varma, the most revered member of the Travancore Royal family has praised the efforts done by Dr. C.S. Suchith and Buddha Kalari in the field of Marma Treatment in the preface to the book. What really makes Buddha Kalari different is the emphasis on tradition. The things, that are experienced here cannot be learned from books, by seeing photos or by watching videos. The oils used for the treatment at our Kalari Ashram are organic and hand-made on site under the direct supervision of the master. The medicines we use in the treatments are made according to the recipes which are thousands of years old. These are contained in ancient palm leaf documents, passed down to Dr. C.S. Suchith from his ancestors and teachers. We see that it is our duty to preserve the traditions of the past for the benefit of future generations. Buddha Kalari is truly a unique place. It is the only place that you will find a martial art, Ayurvedic healing and a spiritual tradition that are part of one cohesive system.
