Sri Sri College Of Ayurvedic Science & Hospital

If you drive out to the 21st kilometer on Kanakapura Road, you’ll find us at O.B.Chudahalli in Udayapura. It’s a bit of a journey from the main city, but the air is a little fresher out here. We have both the college and the hospital on the same site, so there are always students moving around with their books and notes. It’s a lively place, but also quite serious because everyone is learning the old ways of healing. The hospital part of the building is where the practical work happens, and it’s usually filled with people who have traveled a fair distance to see us. We have gardens where we grow some of what we need, and the smell of the plants is often in the air. The buildings are large and have a lot of windows to let in the light. Managing both a school and a hospital means there is never a quiet moment. We have to keep the classrooms ready and the hospital wards clean at the same time. The staff here wears many hats, sometimes teaching and sometimes treating patients. It’s not a corporate environment; it feels more like a place of learning and labor. We don’t have fancy marketing brochures, we just rely on the fact that people know where we are and what we do out here in Udayapura. It’s a long day for most of us, but the work is steady and the routine keeps us going.
