| The Kailas Perspective: | What I look for in a soap is purity: the Sattvic quality of energy it leaves you with. In Ayurveda, Sattva is the real "clean" |
| Ayurvedic Perspective: | Skin Care is an important aspect of Ayurveda, which sees the layers of the skin as a microcosm of the body itself. When the skin is radiant with Tejas (light), then the body is known to be healthy through and through. Coconut Oil is considered cooling like the moonlight, an energetic property that reduces stress and brings balance and healing. | |

| Observations: | "Chandrika Ayurvedic Soap was created in 1940 by Sri Kesavan Vaidyar, an ayurvedic physician. "In the beginning Sri Kesavan Vaidyar travelled on foot or by bus carrying the wooden case all by himself. There were harsh times when he even travelled by holding onto the ladder on the back of the bus and slept outside shops waiting for them to open, so that he could sell his product to them. Faith and belief in his creation, 'Chandrika Soap' gave him the courage to persist with it. His belief and persistence paid of when people who used it realised its value and goodness and came back asking for more. Once people discovered Chandrika, there was no turning back for him. He established Lal Memorial Hospital, a charitable hospital so that the less fortunate could avail of basic medical services that were not available to them. He also established a nursing school to support this cause and to promote professional health care. He also established S.N. Public School, a public school, a public library and a teachers' training college believing that Education would help people empower themselves."
