==Life Sketch==<br />
[[File:Vaidyaratnam gate.jpg|Vaidyaratnam Nursing Home Entrance|thumb|right|180px]]<br />
<br />
Narayanan Mooss was born into a family of traditional Ayurvedic physicians of ''ashtavaidyans'' (a title conferred upon the family by the [[Viceroy of India]], [[Lord Reading]], in 1924<ref>http://www.vaidyaratnamblr.com/About%20Us.htm</ref>) to Devaki Antharjanam and [[Eledath Thaikkattu Neelakandan Mooss|E. T. Neelakandhan Mooss]] on 15 September 1933. He was named after his grandfather, in accordance with family tradition. He learned [[Ayurveda]] from his father, a well known Ayurvedic physician and [[Padmashri]] award recipient, and his uncle, Vayaskara N.S. Mooss.<ref>[http://www.merinews.com/article/treatment-personalised-e-t-narayanan-mooss-on-ayurveda/15796638.shtml Dr. Mooss]</ref><br />
<br />
After early schooling by [[Gurukula]] system in Ollur, he joined the family's Ayurvedic clinic to assist his father, and later worked at [[Vaidyaratnam Oushadhasala]], which his father founded in 1944. Under the rigorous tutelage of his father, Narayanan Mooss developed into a physician, widely considered to be one of the best exponents of traditional Ayurveda in India, mastering the eight branches of Ayurvedic system of medicine.<ref>https://www.keralatourism.org/leadinglights/thaikkattu-mooss/6</ref><br />
<br />
He took over the family establishment in 1954 and developed it into a group which now comprises an [[Vaidyaratnam Ayurveda College|Ayurvedic Medical College]], two hospitals, 25 depots, 800 retail outlets, a herbal farm, a nursing college, an Ayurvedic research centre, three medicine manufacturing units and an Ayurvedic museum.<ref>http://www.vaidyaratnammooss.com/branches.php?mmenu_id=4</ref><br />
<br />
After handing over the Group's management to his elder son E. T. Neelakandan Mooss Jr. and medical responsibilities to his second son, E. T. Parameshwaran Mooss, he led a semi-retired life at his ancestral home in Ollur. He was a lover of the traditional arts of [[Kerala]] and [[Sanskrit]] literature.<ref>http://www.merinews.com/article/treatment-personalised-e-t-narayanan-mooss-on-ayurveda/15796638.shtml</ref><br />
