Gopi Warrier is a practitioner of Indian Ayurvedic medicine, a playwright, and a poet.

Life and career

Ayurvedic Charitable Hospital

In 2000, Warrier founded The Ayurvedic Charitable Hospital, with 30 beds, in London.[1] Warrier criticised the commercial aspect of Ayurveda clinics in Western countries, claiming that they were set up to trick people out of their money.[1] [2] In 2006, the hospital received a court order to wind up its activities due to insolvency, and the company was dissolved in 2012.[3]

Ayurvedic university

In 2004, Warrier, David McAlpine and Lady Sarah Morritt (trustees of the Ayurvedic Charitable Hospital)[4] founded Mayur, the "Ayurvedic University of Europe", in London; it offers a B.Sc. degree in Ayurveda.[5]

Ayurvedic restaurant

Warrier opened an “Ayurvedic restaurant” named Mantra in 2004 in the City of London. Rather than diners selecting dishes from a menu, the waiter would assess them and decide what food would be appropriate for them.[6] The restaurant abandoned this approach the following year.[7]

Plays and poems

Warrier is the author of three books of poems, Varaha,[8] and Lament of JC.[9] and "Tenth Incarnation".

Warrier has staged several plays in London[10] and Mumbai: God Sports, The Tenth Incarnation, Genesis of Karma -Three Faces of Evil, Siddhivinayak Saves Mumbai from Terror Attack.[11] "Ego of the Yogis - Searching for Spirituality in a Contaminated World" and "A Polyester Lordship" in London at the Steiner Theatre.
