CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

Masako and Shuin from Japan

We stayed at Kalari from 14th September to 4th October 2024. Onam began on the day we arrived, and the town was filled with flowers. We were able to experience Hinduism up close and learn about its tolerance and greatness. I also felt that Hinduism is deeply integrated into people's lives and plays an important role in their daily lives. During our stay, an event was held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Kalari, which was a valuable experience that allowed us to gain a better understanding of Kalari's position, history, pride and importance to the people of Kerala. As usual, we were able to receive Kiri and Uruchiru treatments for one week each. We had our whole body adjusted and even practiced Kalaripayattu, and had a fun and meaningful time. I really feel that by receiving the treatments every year, I am able to maintain my health.

Thank you so much ❣️.

I am working in Qatar and my work demands spending long time in front of laptop. I have a history of cervical disc prolapse. Was having severe radiating shoulder and back pain. Because of this, was literally not able to focus on work. Met Dr. Gouthaman online and underwent his treatment plan during my vacation last year. The therapy and it’s outcome was outstanding. Within a month my pain relieved. The medicine he gives is less compared to conventional Ayurveda treatment and it is very effective. Dr is very approachable any time and is very sincere. He is a well known practicing kalari gurukkal as well. Did the follow-up treatment in June 2023. I had wonderful experience with evident and proven results. Will not think twice to recommend Madhava Matam.

If you want to get an authentic and decent experience of Kalaripayattu, then look no further. This school is a great place to learn, Dr Gowthaman is a very good master with fantastic students. I am grateful for all the support I received here while learning and I hope to come again and train again, although it is not easy because I have go all the way from Moscow, where I live :) I also highly recommend a foot massage, of which Dr Gowthaman is a master. I wish this beautiful school to grow and develop!

A wonderful place to learn the ancient art of Kalari, regardless of your nationality. Gurukkal is attentive, and the long term students are all kind and extremely skilled. I was inspired to enhance my connection with my body here, while aligning it with a spiritual basis that underpins all kalari practice. Special mention to Abhijith who taught my brother and I patiently each day. I hope we can come back one day and learn more.

Great Service. To Dr. Gowtham @ Madhava Matam CVN Kalari Ayurvedic Centre it is about Service, Traditions and Culture. He treats you like a friend and family and takes personal care in the treatment extended. He himself does the therapies and the treatment and exercises suggested was relieving. Thankyou Dr. Gowtham

I had a great experience at CVN Kalari Ayurvedic Centre. I was looking for a very traditional experience, and I could tell that it is a place deeply rooted in the ancient tradition of Kalaripayattu. Practicing Kalaripayattu gave me a new confidence and made my body feel good. Everyone was very welcoming. Dr. R.D. Gowthaman was very knowledgeable and very easy to talk with. He gave me a 7 day monsoon treatment during my training that was an amazing experience. He is very skilled in the Ayurvedic massage, and after the treatment my body felt new. I am honored to be his student, and will always come back to his centre when I am in Trivandrum.

One of the best places in Thiruvananthapuram for traditional Kalaripayattu training and Traditional Kalari therapy. Very professional approach and experienced and dedicated teachers make this Kalari school on the top of traditional martial arts training in Thiruvananthapuram.

I had done a 14 day treatment (including Njavarakkizhi) last year at the Centre and the experience was so invigorating that I had decided to repeat it the following year if possible. Last month I succeeded in booking a slot and went through a week-long kizhi/massage treatment. The results are simply astounding! Total rejuvenation! I had an irritating minor frozen shoulder problem in my left shoulder and this totally disappeared after the treatment! I certainly intend to repeat this next year....
