Expert Ancient Indian Ayruveda from Kerala and Paramparik Nadi Guru (Traditional Pulse Examiner) as Lada Parampara

Sri K T Sivanandan ji was born in a small village; named Mundiy eruma of Idukki District in Kerala, in the year 1966. Sri Kizhakkekara Thankkapan vaidyar practised this traditional medicinal art of healing namely LADA PARAMPARA throughout his life.
Sadguru Sri Thankkapan Vaidyar has dedicated his life and soul in development of LADA PRAMPARA. All his life he has treated and cured thousands of patients through this traditional medicinal practise. Not only this he has worked dedicatedly in search of quick and effective methods of disease diagnosis by Traditional Lada Parampara. In the estimation of physical and mental status of a patient suffering from particular ailment is another area where Guruji has accomplished noteworthy and praiseworthy goals in the field of traditional medical care and therapeutic science. Besides following Guruji has relentlessly and devotedly led to development of pure organic herbal medicines for curing various diseases and disorders of human body.
The revered Guru Sri Thankkapan Vaidyar has Lada Parampara running in his family since many generations. In fact he learned this Vidhya in the expert guidance of his own mother Shreemati Janaki Leela ji and two of his paternal uncles Shree Narayan ji and Mailan ji. One of the great Lada Gurus Sri Gopal Guru also played a significant role in his education. Thus we see the disciple succession has shaped the life of Sri K. T. Sivanandan ji into the harbinger of Lada Parampara in this modern era.
His teacher, mentor and Guide Sri Gopal Guru took Sri Thankkapan ji with him for his education at a tender age of 12 years and toured across the nation for three times.
From his childhood, Shri Thankkapan ji became familiar with the various medicinal herbs growing naturally in the various regions of the country along with the common ailments of a particular region of the nation. Thereafter he served as a Bramchari Vaidya in Subramaniyum Temple of Tamil Nadu.
After his services in Tamil Nadu he worked for a short time period in Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Dev Bhoomi at Varanasi and later on he spent his time at Badrinath Temple while serving community.
At the age of 30 years he married Shreemati Janaki Leela ji; the daughter of a practitioner of Kalaripayattu; the ancient martial art of India.
Sadguru Shree Thankkapan studied and analysed with devotion about the various physical and mental conditions of the present generations of modern India and thereafter reaching to very significant conclusions, he decided to train his own son Sri K. T. Sivanandand ji in this medicinal art of disciple succession.

T. Sivanandand ji prepared a full-fledged course to train the youth of the country in this ancient medicinal art for the well fare and benefit of the society and the nation.

Sivanandan ji understood that to treat the general masses of their ailments, people should be encouraged to take up regional and home-made remedies as popular, cost effective, most simple as well as easy accessible method of cure. According to the views of Sri K. T.

WORDS OF PARAM GURU SRI THANKKAPAN VAIDYAR

Sri Sadguru Thankkapan vaidyar firmly believed and practised what he preached all through his life. According to him only the samaskars of Sanatan Dharma, the lifestyle, the food as described and defined by the vedic texts can only regulate the social order of the nation at the moment. He staunchly preached and practised that the future generation should be given the samskaras because these samskaras only can keep the traditional medical care practises alive. Also only the Gurukuls; the centers of Indian samaskars can be equipped with the herculean task of educating the children and reinforcing the vedic values in the young minds. These centres could serve the noble task of keeping alive the traditional medicinal art of healing through LADA PARAMPARA. This Lada Parampara being purely natural and flawless needs to be patronised and maintained for the general good of the masses.
