P.K. Warrier remembered on his 4th death anniversary

Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala observed the fourth death anniversary of P.K. Warrier, the legendary Ayurvedic physician, on Thursday.

Speaking on the occasion, Syed Rasheedali Shihab Thangal, former Wakf Board chairman, stressed Dr. Warrier’s tireless efforts to foster communal harmony and bridge cultural divides.

“Through Dr. Warrier’s inspired stewardship, Kottakkal emerged as the embodiment of Ayurveda. Under him, Kottakkal became a synonym for the ancient healing art,” said Mr. Thangal.

In his keynote address, Sanskrit scholar K.G. Poulose praised Arya Vaidya Sala for garnering goodwill under Dr. Warrier’s leadership. He said Arya Vaidya Sala’s lasting legacies were the pioneering will of its founder P.S. Varier and the immense goodwill generated by his successors.
