Cottage Industry is a concentrated form of small scale industry where the productivity of the goods takes place
in the houses of the laborers and the workforce include the members of the family. The equipments used to
generate products are not the hi-tech ones but generally those which are used at homes.
Cottage industry is generally unorganized in character and falls under the category of small scale industry.
They produce consumable products through the use of conventional methods. These types of industries
originate in the country sides where unemployment and under-employment are widespread. In this way,
cottage industries help the economy by engrossing a massive amount of remaining workforce of the rural
areas. But on the flip side Cottage Industry cannot be considered as the mass producer of products. It faces
major risks from medium or large industries which demand huge amount of capital investment for all types of
hi-end technologies
We all have our Shillims - those precious landscapes that have formed us, nurtured
us and possibly saved us. We need to safeguard not only the landscapes, but the role
all of our Shillims play in the lives of the human species. We are increasingly
distanced from wild places, where we connect with who we are as part of a larger
natural system. Shillim as a concept is that place where we can reconnect. As a
practice it is the ability to move beyond the chatter and exhaustion of our everyday
lives, to tap into the deep sense of renewal that a place like Shillim provides and
come back to ourselves. As a promise it is this: that for our children and our
grandchildren landscapes like Shillim will still exist
There is an inherent need for a racing mind to feel steadiness and a quiet strength that
holds it together for an overall peace of mind. Dhāraṇā is the sixth stage, step or limb
of eight elucidated by Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga or Raja Yoga – a Yogic path, which
entails forgetting oneself in the object of his or her meditation. It is a state of feeling
relaxed and at ease, which in turn allows for deeper forms of contemplation and
meditation.
It is the stable sense of sacredness that is achieved when one aligns the inner core to
the outer environment. Any form of healing needs to start with the state of Dharana. It
is with this grounded focus, that we trigger the longer journey of healing for you.
Working with a focused approach, Dharana wellness experts integrate the essential
philosophical, spiritual and artistic wisdom of past civilizations with contemporary,
life enhancing practices and modern diagnostics; paving the way towards a
wholesome holistic and preventive healing experience by understanding each and
every guest and what they aim to achieve.

Wellness evaluation
It aims to identify and understand your lifestyle and the elements that contribute to
disrupting your overall wellbeing. It includes an evaluation of the body composition and
a wellbeing evaluation.
Its idyllic location on an organic farm amid coconut trees and spice groves is edged
by the beautiful banks of the Chalakudy river – the place perfect to relax and to
connect with the earth.
Visitors can learn to how to cook Keralan dishes, and muck in with the farming in the
fields and orchards, learn yoga, enjoy various types of Ayurvedic massages, meditate,
eat well and come home full of the joys of life.
This out-of-the way haven is the brainchild of Das Sreedharan. Das was born in a small
village in Kerala where he would follow his mother around the vegetable plot and into
the kitchen.
When you arrive at the edge of the farm your final approach with your luggage is on
the back of a bullock cart pulled sedately by a slow-going bullock through the scenic
lanes.
As you notch down a gear or two, the surroundings come into focus and it’s tempting to
stop along the way, to watch the potter at his wheel, or the jaggery (traditional cane
suger) maker stirring vats of cane sugar.
Mornings on the farm start with energy raising yoga and meditation so you can tackle
the challenges of the day. Everyone joins in including staff and students from the local
village. You learn, quickly, that your mental and physical wellbeing are intimately
entwined, and unless you can rest your mind and relax, sooner or later your body will
suffer.
This concept is at the heart of what Keralans know as Ayruveda – a Sanskrit word made
of two parts: life and science. Ayurveda is, therefore, the science of life itself. The
knowledge is said to have been passed down from the gods.
Ayurveda has been used for at least 2,000 years, and the doctors at Rasa Gurukul are
the fourth generation to practice this ancient form of healing. Key tenets are universal
inter-connectedness, and the body’s five elements — space, air, water, fire, and earth
— as when these fall out of balance, we fall sick. Restoring your balance requires the
right food, the right physical treatments, and the right state of mind.
The kitchen is used as a workshop and underprivileged teens come here to develop
their culinary skills cooking alongside experienced chefs and an experience guests can
have too.
Learn how to layer the spices, build up the flavour of each dish, and sample as you go
to make sure the taste is perfect. In effect you can learn how to maximise flavours and
put together a fantastic meal.
There are a range of massages too. The Abhyangam massage relieves stiff joins and
relaxes the muscles, Thalapothichil head massage releases tension in the scalp, and
Swedana, a combination of steam and warm oils, opens up the pores in your skin. Mud
packs help release toxins and Tarpanam, a herbal poultice placed on the eye lids and
surrounding area, is said to refresh the optical nerves and reduce the appearance of
wrinkles.
There’s a lot of joy to be had in feeling part of a community who gardens, cooks, and
eats together. Learning a new skill gives a sense of accomplishment and sharing
experiences together can lead to a deep sense of fulfillment.
India is full of spiritual retreats, but often they focus on self-denial, as though depriving
the body of food, of comfort, will enable you to better focus your mind and obtain
peace. Rasa Gurukul takes an entirely different approach. Das knows that when you eat
well, when you’re breathing clean air, and when you’re relaxed and happy, your
physical and mental wellbeing soars. You can’t have one without the other, and Rasa
Gurukul is the embodiment of that philosophy.
