Guru seeks to diseminate the knowledge about the relevance, significance and greatness of Ayurvedam and Siddham and to restore their lost spiritual content and respectability as well as to keep pace with the changing times, by bringing about corrections. Those who diligently observe and study the karma of Guru in the rejuvenation of Ayurveda medical system, will be able to discern that it was when guru touched upon and paid attention to the revival of this system that it received worldwide respectability and recognition as a more human-friendly alternative system of medicine.

Guru initiated Ayurvedam in the Santhigiri Ashram more than three decades back. Whenever people approached Guru with some kind of illness, besides telling them about the greatness of prayer, Guru gave them some medicine. One day Guru called the inmates and asked them to pray. Some herbs were crushed and ground and were put into an earthen pot to prepare a kashayam. It was given to all in the Ashram. After that Guru called the inmates and talked about the greatness of Ayurvedam and how its rejuvenation and growth would be achieved through this Parampara. Guru said one day we would have big Ayurveda institutions and the world would respect us and our medicines. People were skeptical at that time because those were the days when Guru and the inmates did not even have enough to eat.

When people approached with complicated diseases, besides offering spiritual solutions, Guru advised them to undergo medical treatment. When the Ashram Hospital was set up doctors were instructed by Guru to apply different systems like ayurveda, siddha, homoeo and allopathy. Right from the beginning Guru was combining different medical systems in the treatment of diseases. The genesis of the Nava Arogya Dharma Siddhanta is a result of this practice. Through Nava Arogya Dharma Siddhanta, a new healthcare concept, Guru has given a spiritual path in medicine to remove the bad effects of previous actions in jeeva, which act as a hurdle on man's stride towards truth and goodness. The establishment of Ayurveda and Siddha Research Centre in the ancestral home of the former Indian President late Dr. K. R. Narayanam at Uzhavoor in Kottayam marks a new beginning in the healthcare system of Santhigiri.

Nava Arogya Dharma Siddhantam envisages:
1. To facilitate the evolution of a generations with spiritual, mental and physical health.
2. To provide guidance in healthcare and to understand the reasons of diseases, sufferings and sorrows in life.
3. To provide comprehensive healthcare to the people.
4. To organize regular awareness classes, seminars and workshops for disseminating knowledge about healthcare and the need for leading a righteous life.
