PALAKKAD: The 91-year-old Mahant Yugal Saranji Maharaj of Mount Abu in Rajasthan who underwent a 45-day ayurvedic treatment known as the 'Kudipravesha Kayakalpa Chikitsa' (an age reversal treatment) will come out of the three chambered 'kudi' building set up at the Padinjarekara Ayurveda Hospital in Ottapalam on Friday.Dr Sethumadhavan, head of the hospital, said that it was on April 4 that Mahant Yugal Saranji Maharaj had entered the 'kudi'. The treatment was completed on May 18. In the three chambered 'kudi', the Mahant was only given 'rasayanam' (ayurvedic medication) and pure cow milk. Except for two doctors who were treating him and some attenders who were cleaning the place, no one else was allowed into the 'kudi'. All these days, Mahant Yugal Saranji Maharaj lived without seeing the outside world."At present, Mahant Yugal Saranji Maharaj was being treated in the second and third chambers of the 'kudi', so that he could acclimatise himself to the outside world. "The treatment is the first of its kind in Kerala. Though it was not proper to treat patients above the age of 70, we undertook the risk of subjecting Mahant to the 'chikitsa' which yielded good results. He said that the wrinkles on the body have been disappearing, the swollen legs have become normal and the loose teeth and muscles have also stiffened. The level of haemoglobin in the blood which was below 12 has increased to around 16 and the bad cholesterol level has come down," said Dr Keshava Bharadwaj, an ayurvedic medical officer of Rajasthan who was treating Mahant. Dr Sethumadhavan said that it was in 1933 that Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya was subjected to the same mode of kayakalpa treatment. Pandit Madan Mohan who was suffering from Parkinson's disease came out of the 'kudi' as a much relieved man. One of the witnesses to the treatment of Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya was Mahant and that is why he chose to undertake this mode of treatment."The 'kudi' used for the treatment has been prepared as per the 'vaasthushasthra'. The Mahant was given 'Amalakeerasayanam' during the treatment period. Items used to make the rasayanam include gooseberry, ghee and honey and the milk is taken from domestic cows.Mahant Yugal Saranji Maharaj will meet the media on Saturday to describe his experience in the 'kudi' and his health condition now compared to that of the past.
