#051 Govind Radhakrishnan - What is Ayurveda, life examples and application in modern times

The Oliver Schirach Show

Welcome to my conversation with Govind Radhakrishnan. We met her in Denmark and I visited one of his courses on Ayurveda and Yoga. His broad knowledge helped me to understand parts of myself better and got me more interested in the subject of holistic healing through Ayurveda teachings, herbs and more.

Govind has many gifts to help people heal their physical, emotional and spiritual wounds and this interview is giving you an inside into his knowledge and examples where he was able to help others.

This episode starts with a grounding meditation and then we go deeper into Govinds wisdom.

We got to talk about:

• His name Govind: “The one who is carrying men”
• What is Ayurveda "Life Knowledge", one of the oldest medical system, very researched & tested through applied science (1000s of years)
• How Ayurveda helps to look at dis-eases holistically
• The different Medical Sciences in India

• Why we need grounding & the effects on people: Over- eating & consumption, happiness comes from consumption and products as source of self-worth
  • Learn to be happy within your body & being
• Take care of your physical body. It is the only home you have all the time in this lifetime
