About Raman Das
Raman Das Mahatyagi is an Ayurvedic practitioner, yoga teacher and author with more than 30 years of practice in India, Nepal and Australia. He trained under Ayurvedic scholars in India and holds a degree in Ayurvedic Medicine, a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Biology, and a Diploma in Yoga, blending traditional scholarship with scientific insight. That combination of traditional training and a science degree shapes how he works: in the language of Ayurveda, but alongside modern medicine, not against it.
He founded Yatan Holistic Ayurvedic Centre in Gordon, on Sydney’s Upper North Shore, in 2000, and still sees every patient himself, in the clinic or by telehealth. He holds the traditional title Vaidya, which in India means a practitioner of Ayurveda.

How Ayurveda is regulated in Australia
Ayurveda isn’t one of the health professions registered by AHPRA. No Ayurvedic practitioner in Australia is a registered medical practitioner, and none should present themselves as a medical doctor for their Ayurvedic work. In NSW, practitioners outside the registration scheme must follow the Code of Conduct for unregistered health practitioners, and the Health Care Complaints Commission can act on complaints.
The practical checks are training and membership. Raman Das is a Fellow of ATMS and a member of the Australasian Association of Ayurveda, which both require recognised training, continuing education, professional insurance and adherence to a code of ethics.
Ayurvedic care at Yatan is designed to work alongside your GP and specialists. Raman Das will ask about your diagnoses and medications, will not ask you to stop prescribed treatment, and will suggest you see your doctor when something needs medical attention.
What a consultation with Raman Das involves
A free 10-minute call (optional) to check that Ayurveda suits what you’re dealing with.
An initial consultation, 60 minutes, $139. He takes a full history, reads your pulse in the Ayurvedic tradition, looks at your tongue, and assesses your constitution (Prakriti) and current imbalance (Vikriti).
Advice covers food, daily routine, sleep, and, where appropriate, herbal preparations (priced separately) and yoga or breathing practices.
Follow-ups from $81 to adjust the plan as things change.
