A section of Santhigiri Ashram, Santhigiri Ayurveda Medical College in Palakkad is managed by the Department of Santhigiri Healthcare Research Organization’s Medical Education Division.

In Pothencode, near to Thiruvananthapuram, “Navajyothisree Karunakara Guru” founded the non profit Santhigiri Ashram in 1964. Its goal is to advance both the overall elevation of the individual and the progress of humanity as a whole. The phrase “Annadhanam, Athurasevanam, and Athmabodhanam,” which emphasizes the supply of food, medical care, and spiritual upliftment, is used to attain this goal.

In order to accomplish these goals, Santhigiri Ashram works across caste, colour, and creed, and its healthcare system has significantly improved the lives of many people in India and other parts of the world.

Santhigiri Ashram received acknowledgment for its research efforts when the Indian Government’s Ministry of Science & Technology, through the Council of Science & Industrial Research (CSIR) , granted it the designation of “Scientific Industrial Research Organization-SIRO”

With the guidance of its founder, “NAVAJYOTHISREE KARUNAKARA GURU,” the Santhigiri Ashram built the Santhigiri Ayurveda Medical College. The establishment of an Ayurveda Hospital, which Guru personally began in 1997 at Olassery, Palakkad, was the first step in carrying out Guru’s goal. The Santhigiri Palakkad Branch Ashram is next to the hospital, which serves roughly 60 neighbouring villages. The hospital is surrounded by beautiful paddy fields, palm trees, and the Sokanashini Puzha, a Bharatapuzha tributary with healing properties. Santhigiri Ayurveda Medical College was founded in 2002 with the goal of developing a team of highly qualified physicians with in-depth knowledge of Ayurvedic principles and scientific practices, extensive practical training, and a firm grasp of the fundamentals of Nava Arogya Dharma Siddhantham as intended by Guru. The Central Council of Indian Medicine in New Delhi oversees the college, which is connected with the Kerala University of Health Sciences in Thrissur, Kerala.
