Samajam Sampradayam
While on one hand the Samajam holds the traditional concepts and practices dearly, on the other, it has always been on the search and re-searches for innovations. Samajam started the practice of Chikitsa Yogam, an assembly or panel of physicians to discuss and find solutions to chronic ailments, a practice unheard so far in Ayurveda. Samajam follows the practice even today. This panel is the back bone of Samajam Sampradayam. Many institutions in modern times follow the Samajam practice of a Chikitsa Yogam, a panel of physicians to discuss and find solutions to chronic disorders. | Another innovation to Samajam's credit was the “Sequential development and application of Ayurvedic therapies on diseases”. It was about 9 decades ago that Samajam introduced the systematized practices of Panchakarma and specialized Kerala therapies. It tells about the application of a set of therapies in a logical sequence than the haphazard introduction of some therapy on the patient, while treating diseases of different origin and of different caliber. It also tells about the control over pressure, time, speed, heat and direction of a therapy while it is executed. This system, the Samajam Sampradayam, was a step further in the development history of Ayurveda. Most of the institutions today follow “Samajam Sampradayam” (the methodology of Samajam). |

The legacy Commercialization has never been in the minds of the Keraleeya Ayurveda Samajam, it shall never be, too. Like the lone banyan tree standing on the scorching sun on the side of the long stretch of road to comfort the weary traveler, the Samajam stands to comfort the sick and weak, with the strength gained out of the 5000 years old heritage wisdom of India, the Ayurveda of mankind. Competition has never been in the minds of the Keraleeya Ayurveda Samajam, it shall never been too. Like the rain cloud that | showers over the dry-parched land to spring life on earth, the Samajam stands well high in the sky to shower all its knowledge and experience to all who are in need. There is no bias. There is no ulterior motives. And, there is nothing that won't be above board. The standard and the methodology of Samajam, be it on conducting treatments or imparting knowledge, be it on preparing medicines or treating a disease, be it on introducing innovative programmes or undertaking research activities, are adopted by many and being constantly compared by many more. |
History Established a hundred years before, the Keraleeya Ayurveda Samajam is a singular organization in preserving and promoting the principles and practices of Ayurvedic Medicine, internationally. Running on charitable lines with no profit - no loss motto, the Samajam today is engaged in Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Dispensaries, Teaching & Training programmes, Research & Development activities, Cultivation of medicinal plants & Manufacture of herbal medicines, Ayurveda Therapeutics and Rejuvenation Practices, Panchakarma & related therapies, and most importantly in Preventive Health Care concepts. Branched out to 7 centers including to the Andamans, the Samajam caters to the needs of a large population from different parts of India and abroad. Beyond commercialization and competition, Samajam still remains on ethical lines in Medical Practice. A hundred years before two princely states in Kerala, the Kochi and the Malabar were always at enmity and the bone of their contention was the loss of the 'Perumpadappu Swaroopam' of Kochi to the Zamorins of Malabar. They never met in peace but in war; and, a historic exception was made once when they met, not to discuss any princely or royal matters but to create an organization to serve the public on health related matters and, thus formed the Keraleeya Ayurveda Samajam. |

In 1902, the first ever congress of the Samajam was convened at Chalappuram in Kozhikode. The first annual meeting witnessed the presence of the Manavikrama Ettan Raja, the Zamorin of Calicut and the Ramavarma Appan Thampuran, the 6th Prince, the Kunjunnithampuran of the Kochi State. The assemblage also included the presence of stalwarts like Kochunni Thampuran, Kavalappara Mooppil Nair, Chirakkal Ramavarma Ilaya Raja, K.C. Veerarayan Raja, Kollankottu Raja, Vasudeva Raja, Kuroor Damodaran Namboodirippad, Thriprangod Parameswaran Mooss, Rao Bahadhur M.C. Krishna Varma Raja, Vengayil Kunji Raman Nair and P.S. Warrier. The first ever administrative body of the Samajam was formed thus with Sri. K.R. Padmanabha Iyer becoming its first Secretary. And, at this first annual meeting, the name “Keraleeya Ayurveda Samajam” was introduced, 55 years before the State of Kerala was formed |
