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

Life and career[edit]

Gopi Warrier is the son of Govind Parameswara Warrier (G.P. Warrier), chairman of Indian National Railways and Principal Secretary to the Government of India.[citation needed] His grandfather was M.R. Krishna Warrier, a poet in Kerala.[citation needed] Warrier studied English Literature in India; he then took an MBA at the London Business School, studying also at the French Business School (Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales) near Paris, and at the New York University Graduate School.[citation needed]

Ayurvedic Charitable Hospital[edit]

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 their activities due to insolvency, and the company was dissolved in 2012.[3]

Ayurvedic university[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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.
