Lakshmanacharyulu garu, an Ayurveda physician once walked by a road and observed that the king of a particular Zameen (kingdom) was passing behind him on the same road. At that time the king spat on the road while passing. This was noticed by Lakshmanacharyulu garu, who called one of the king’s assistants and told him that his king will be thirsty after 15 minutes and at that time you should give him sesame oil instead of water. Right after the time indicated by the physician, the king felt thirsty and one of the assistants conveyed the message to the king. The king ordered to bring the person to him and the physician confirmed that he saw blood in his saliva and told him that his was suffering from tuberculosis. Impressed by the physician, the king ordered him to stay with him till he recovered completely.

After his successful treatment, the king appointed Lakshmanacharyulu garu as the Raja Vaidya. The dynasty started from there on. The king then gave a few temples and land for the physician to continue his profession – cultivation (sedyam), medical practice (vaidyam) and worshipping God (naivedyam). Usually at any place, a prerequisite to growth is the presence of a school and a temple. However, at the place of the present institution, after Lakshmanacharyulu garu started his practice at Vanamakuru (present Vanukuru), the whole place developed and thereafter schools and temples were built.

The success of our institution was seen when we started giving more importance to qualitative preparations, which led us to quality treatment that increased the area of exposure to treat more patients. For example, people from different areas taking monthly treatments increased to different districts and from districts to different states. it eventually grew to a stage where politicians also came here to take treatment on a monthly basis. Students from the Government Ayurvedic College, Vijayawada usually come for their house surgeon internship, for learning different methodologies and preparations at our institution.
