ULTIMATE CO-ORDINATION OF MIND AND BODY

We tend to rely more on western methods of healthcare like gym and Zumba, and most
often overlook and take for granted the values and benefits associated with our traditional
art forms.

It is high time we look back into our roots, have a better understanding of them and realize
their significance in our daily lives.

ART which has a knowledge in field of traditional medicine and defence.

 KALARIPAYATTU

The martial art form from Kerala adds on to the rich Indian heritage of age old traditions and a vibrant culture.
Along with the art forms of dance, music, theatre and literature, Kalaripayattu was also encouraged as an art
form by its exponents.

Art for entertainment has always thrived, even in tough economic times. But with Kalaripayattu the story has been
different. It is slowly losing its original structure, due to lack of application in the present world.

The word kalari first appears in the Tamil Sangam literature (c. 300 BCE to 300 CE) to describe both a battlefield
and combat arena.

Kalari means the fighting art of Kalari or battlefield in English and payat means training in art to combat. While
most of its exercise techniques are based on the science of yoga, its medical treatments extract knowledge from
Ayurveda.
 TYPES

MARMASHASTRAM AND MASSAGE.

Many of my health conditions got cured after practicing

Kalaripayattu.
 DECLINE
Kalari underwent a period of decline when Nairs lost to
the British after the introduction of firearms and
especially after the full establishment of British colonial
rule in the 19th century.
The British imperialism was revolted with by the kalari
masters, and the threatened British brought about a ban
in the practice of Kalari. This was a severe blow to the art
form.

REVIVAL
The resurgence of public interest in Kalarippayattu began
in the 1920s in Tellicherry as part of a wave of
rediscovery of the traditional arts throughout South India
and continued through the 1970s surge of general
worldwide interest in martial arts. In recent years, efforts
have been made to further popularise the art, with it
featuring in international films. Some dance schools in
Kerala incorporate kalarippayattu as part of their exercise
regimen.
 POSSIBILITIES
Creating awareness about Kalaripayattu as an effective tool for body and mind.

Functioning as a research centre for Kalaripayattu by creating a pool of knowledge on the art form.

to create awareness on the effects of mental and physical fitness.

Preserving the traditional art.

Popularizing various medicines, modes of treatments and massages conventionally used in Kalaripayattu .

Be it lifestyle, eating habits or fitness forms, we Indians are more inclined towards the Western culture. Kids in India
are made aware about Karate during their school days, while adults show keen interest in learning Capoiera and Tai
Chi. But people hardly know about Kalaripayattu, the Indian martial art from which every other martial art form is
derived. We should be proud to have preserved the knowledge so far and should continue to do so.
 2. HELPING HANDS!

Childhood is a tender and delicate stage in the life span of a human being. At this stage people require a great deal of care,
love and nurture in order to have a robust set of values and morals. The required care, love and nurture are generally
imparted to us by our families.

But there are many children not fortunate enough like we are, yes I am talking about orphans and not having a
family doesnt make them any less of a human. They too have a right to have a comfortable shelter just like us.

But there is different parameters are also there which is similar to orphans, i.e. old aged people, Many of us
because of our egocentric, egotistical and selfish nature tend to forsake our own parents who took care and
nurtured us. Many of us end up abandoning our parents at old age homes.

Now if we consider both the above cases we could infer that they both lack a mutual feeling and that is deep
affection, warmth, attachment and love. Orphans always deficient of parental or elderly love and abandoned
parents always deficient of the love obtained from children
IDEA
The Idea is to create an interactive platform between old age homes and orphanages .
A space for interaction and a common shelter for two generations.

Why Prefer Such A Merger

The elderly are the exact replica of the young ones. They need the same care and attention as the kids.
 PHILOSOPHY

of prime importance.
Strive to preserve and maintain the dignity, individuality and privacy of all residents
Warm and caring atmosphere
Being sensitive to the residents' ever changing needs- medical/therapeutic, cultural, psychological, spiritual,
emotional and social.
CORE VALUES :
- Privacy
- Dignity
- Security
- Independence
- Choice
- Fulfilment
 TARGETED GROUPS

 Migration is one problem that both senior citizens and children find it difficult to cope with.

They feel uncomfortable to shift from their comfort zone to a new place.

Children, many of who come to orphanage are victims of severe neglect or abuse and have behavioural and
psychological problems

Bad influence of elder kids on younger ones
