Thur 21st May, 6-8pm @ The Yoga Cooperative, Rosalie
This special evening offers a rare opportunity to experience the living wisdom of traditional Ayurveda in Brisbane.
In conversation with Ayurvedic practitioner Dylan Smith, Dr Harsha Raju will share practical insights drawn from his family’s long-standing medical lineage. Rather than a formal lecture, the session will be a relaxed and interactive gathering where participants can gain a genuine feel for Ayurveda as it is practised within a traditional Vaidya family.
You will hear practical principles that can be applied in daily life to support digestion, energy, clarity, and overall wellbeing. Dr Harsha will also speak about the role of Jyotish (Vedic astrology) in understanding deeper influences on health, timing, and life direction.
This evening is designed as a community gathering as much as a learning experience. A chance to ask questions, connect with others, and encounter an authentic stream of Ayurvedic knowledge rarely available outside India.
Fri 22nd May, 6-7.30pm @ The Yoga Cooperative, Rosalie
This interactive workshop introduces children and teenagers to the fascinating world of pulse awareness through Ayurveda.
Led by Anananya and Jai Ram Raju, who have grown up within a family lineage of Ayurvedic physicians and pulse experts, participants will learn through simple guided exercises how to locate and feel their own pulse, beginning to notice how the body communicates through subtle rhythms. The focus is not on diagnosing illness, but on curiosity, self-awareness, and learning to listen to the body.
Parents are warmly welcome to attend alongside their child at no additional cost (up to two parents per child). Members of the Raju family will also be present to support the session, creating a welcoming and engaging experience for young participants.
Sun 24th May 2026, 8:45am-1pm @ BIYOME, Upper Brookfield
This half-day immersion explores the deeper connections between Ayurveda, yoga, and Jyotiṣa, three interwoven sciences of the Vedic tradition that together illuminate the relationship between health, life, and consciousness.
Guided by Vaidya Dr Harsha Raju, the session offers an opportunity to move beyond introductory concepts and explore how these traditions complement one another in understanding the body, awareness, and the path of living in alignment with one’s dharma. The dialogue will explore how these sciences help refine perception, recognise the intelligence within the body, and support genuine healing.
This gathering is especially suited for sincere students, practitioners, and those on a path of self-healing or spiritual practice who wish to deepen their understanding of these traditions in a more intimate learning environment. Chai and light refreshments will be provided.

Even if the problems are deeply rooted, significant relief can be achieved from this 3-5 day program.
The program also helps to balance the hormonal system so emotions become more even and smooth.
This highly unique program is exclusively offered by the Raju family.
Thousands of people travel from all over the world to the Raju clinic in India just for the Banana Purification.
So traveling interstate or taking the time off for this treatment is highly recommended to take advantage of this opportunity.
"Nowadays, so many female issues are there, especially after covid, even female babies are getting hormonal disorders...only, only Banana Treatment [to rectify this]. But only our family is left to give [it]. All that knowledge is destroyed. Somehow nature preserved us, we don’t know [why]."
"MBT opens the srotas [bodily channels] and enlivens the kuṇḍalinī [energy] to receive the power of the BT. Chakras [nerve plexuses and energy centres] will be enlivened, the energy in the chakras are purified. Cleaning the chakras, cell-to-cell memory...hormonal disturbances, all these blockages are not only from this life, but past lives our atma [soul] is carrying." Most ladies are blocked in apāna vāyu [pelvic region and reproductive organs], and the shakti pīṭha (biological seat of divine feminine energy) is blocked. With BT and MBT, within two minutes it starts to clear, but somehow it starts to unblock the chakras. So it is important to give BT for multiple days so they can clear the chakras. MBT makes the clearing process [of Banana Purification] faster.
Marma points are the original source of acupuncture points.
Included in your MBT session a Yagya will be done on your behalf. Yagya is ancient Vedic technology performed by pandits (masters of ceremony) in India which enlivens Vedic healing vibrations simultaneously while your MBT and BT sessions are occuring.
REQUIREMENT: If you are not menstruating at the time of BT, you must book and receive at least one Marma Banana Treatment (MBT) session before your BT program starts, in order to receive BT.
If your desired time for a MBT or Quick Pulse session is unavailable, please email info@vitalveda.com.au and we can try squeeze you in.
As Ayurveda works on the physical, the mind and the body, Medical Astrology further includes the dimension of the cosmic body. Medical Astrology reveals the cosmic influence on one’s health and which areas to optimise and attend to.
This is an opportunity to ask questions about any aspect of your life, beyond medical. Jyotish (Vedic astrology) provides practical guidance on ways to approach career, health, relationships, projects and purpose by utilising the refined aspects of life.
It is precious to have both an Ayurvedic doctor and Vedic Astrologer look at your chart, health and answer your questions.
