Dr. S Ajit (B.A.M.S, P.C.A.S) - Revolutionising Wellness with Ayurveda

Dr. S Ajit has dedicated his life to the promotion and practice of this ancient science. With extensive qualifications and experience, he has made significant contributions to Ayurveda, both in India and abroad. He is the founding patron of the Australasian Ayurvedic Practitioners Association and serves as the President of the International Council of Ayurvedic Medicine. Driven by his passion for Ayurveda, Dr. Ajit, along with his wife Rippan, established Ayurda, a wellness center that offers Ayurvedic spa treatments, wellness consultations, skincare products, and supplements. Through their expertise and dedication, they have reimagined Ayurveda for the modern world, providing a pathway to balance and well-being in our busy lives.

Bringing the Essence of Ayurveda to New Zealand:

Arriving in New Zealand, Dr. Ajit and Rippan were captivated by the beauty of the country and its people. They noticed a lack of awareness about Ayurveda in the region and saw an opportunity to share their knowledge and passion for this ancient science. Driven by their purpose, they began giving introductory talks and workshops at yoga studios, women's groups, and community centers. These efforts laid the foundation for Ayurda, their wellness center, and provided a platform for teaching Ayurveda across Australia and New Zealand.

"I felt my purpose was to share my passion and knowledge of this ancient science with this part of the world. This began to be my core focus and as Ayurvedic medicine grew in popularity around the world, I was excited to see how New Zealand and Australia received this holistic science for their own wellbeing." - Dr. Ajit.

The Power of Ayurveda in Transforming Lives:

Dr. Ajit's biggest breakthrough came when he witnessed the transformative power of Ayurveda in the lives of his clients. Unlike conventional medicine, Ayurveda focuses on enhancing awareness of the body, mind, and soul. Through Ayurda, Dr. Ajit and Rippan introduced clients to the holistic principles of Ayurveda and guided them in making beneficial changes to their lives with personal dietary and lifestyle changes, herbal remedies and body therapy. Clients soon realised that Ayurveda empowers them to take control of their own well-being and maintain a harmonious balance throughout their lives. It's something that stays with you forever and changes your entire approach to all aspects of life. 

"I saw my clients making great progress and witnessed some amazing results. It was a real breakthrough to see my clients embrace Ayurveda and understand how this science empowers each of them to take control of their wellbeing by making beneficial changes to their life. This was a game changer for me as my clients noticed that Ayurveda doesn’t focus on products and simply fixing or covering symptoms. They realised very soon that an Ayurvedic approach is there to enhance awareness of their body, mind and soul, and shows them how to maintain balance by following a program unique to them." - Dr. Ajit.

Overcoming Challenges and Establishing Ayurvedic Standards:

Establishing Ayurveda in a region unfamiliar with its principles posed several challenges. Dr. Ajit faced the task of educating people about the philosophy behind Ayurveda and its emphasis on lifestyle recommendations rather than quick fixes. Additionally, he encountered the lack of recognised standards and qualifications in natural medicine practices. Dr. Ajit worked tirelessly to establish Ayurvedic standards in teaching and practice, ensuring the integrity and effectiveness of Ayurveda in the region.

Dr. Ajit stated "It’s difficult to begin a practice when people are not very familiar with the basis of your work, but thankfully there were some that were very open to learning about something new. Once they understood that Ayurveda is unique to other modalities currently in practice, they were very receptive to the Ayurvedic approach to wellbeing. 

When I started seeing clients, it was initially difficult for them to understand the philosophy and why I was giving them lifestyle recommendations. It was my challenge to help them understand this and discuss the root cause of their issue, educating them rather than bombarding them with some herbal blends to fix the issues they were facing. 

When I first set up my practice in New Zealand, I came to know that natural medicine was classified as complementary medicine and to my surprise and shock –  there were no standards within practice and education. Natural medicine modalities were self regulated and anyone could start practising without any qualification. I worked hard to set Ayurvedic standards in teaching and practice in place. Time has since changed but still, complementary modalities are not recognised by the authority in spite of the fact that the public can see and feel their benefit and importance. This is especially true for those who practise philosophies and principles that don’t follow western medicine modalities. 

Within my practice, one of the biggest challenges to this day is finding qualified therapists that can do all body work required, so a lot of time and effort goes into training therapists with the specific movements and techniques used within Ayurveda."

Ayurda has become a beacon of Ayurvedic wisdom, offering a comprehensive range of services and products.

Ayurveda, with its deep understanding of the mind-body-soul connection, has emerged as a solution to modern health challenges. Dr. Ajit and Rippan are committed to sharing this ancient knowledge with the wider community, facilitating transformations on a larger scale.
