She is featured in the film, Women of Bhakti. Rukmini writes, teaches, and leads workshops and retreats internationally. The kirtan artist, Gaura Vani, is her son.

She lives in the Washington, DC area where she and her husband lead a Vaisnava (that is, the Bhakti tradition) Christian Dialogue and a Vaisnava Muslim Dialogue each year. Rukmini sees the world animated by spirit, and practices an eco-Bhakti seeing truth and beauty in nature and in the world as kindred spirits.

Ayurveda, India’s ancient system of healing, defines good health not by the absence of disease, but the presence of physical, mental, and spiritual wellness. Integrative medicine, a modern holistic medical discipline, views health through the patient’s physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and environmental influences. Are these systems complementary? What role do they play in cultivating good health? How can ancient practices be combined with modern medicine to help build immunity?

Dr. Palanisamy approach blends the best of conventional medicine and complementary medicine, such as Ayurveda, the time-tested traditional medical system of India. He’s worked with thousands of patients to help them heal and recover. Dr. Palanisamy is also the author of The Paleovedic Diet, a book offering a comprehensive roadmap to optimal health combining the most effective aspects of the Paleo diet with Ayurveda and the latest scientific research.
