Vaidyabhooshanam K. '''Raghavan Thirumulpad''' (20 May 1920 – 21 November 2010) was an [[Ayurveda|Ayurvedic]] scholar and practitioner.<ref>{{cite news

Thirumulpad studied [[Sanskrit]], Tharkam (Indian [[philosophy]]), ''[[Jyothisham]]'' (Indian [[astrology]]) and ''Vyakarana'' ([[grammar]]) under various teachers. Later he studied Ayurveda under Shri. P. Vasudevan Nambisan and passed the graduation exam called ''Vaidyabhooshanam''. From a very young age he was attracted by [[Gandhi]]an thought and living and started using and propagating ''[[Khadi]]'' (the hand-woven cotton fabric which once symbolised Indian nationalism).

Raghavan Thirumulpad was very much influenced by [[John Ruskin|Ruskin]]'s essay, [[Unto This Last]], and tried to implement its ethos in his day-to-day practice of medicine. This was a shift in the trend of ayurvedic practice that prevailed all over India in that time. He gave more stress to life-style modifications in his treatment and the least importance was given to medicine. Maximum stress was laid on the importance of physical exercise in the prevention of diseases. He promoted a style highlighting wholesome food, sound sleep, moderated sex and optimal exercise as the four pillars on which a healthy life is built. Thirumulpad taught a number of young ayurvedic graduates to practise ayurveda in a more logical scientific but simple style. He resided during his lifetime at [[Chalakudy]].

V.K.R.T. Foundation, consisting of his students, celebrated his 90th birthday on 23 May 2010, at Chalakudy as "Navathi Pranamam". Many important personalities, including Dr. Rajan Gurukkal, V.C., M.G. University, Dr. K.G. Poulose, V.C. Kerala Kalamandalam, Dr. C. Ratnakaran, Pro. V.C. Kerala University of Health, participated. The release of nine of his books was the highlight of the occasion.

On 25 January 2011, the Ayurveda Acharyan was awarded [[Padma Bhushan]] posthumously, two months after his death.<ref>{{cite news
