Based in Auroville, Pondicherry

Bridging Ancient Ayurvedic Wisdom, Modern AI & Nature.

I am Agnel Vishal. Since graduating college in 2017, I have dedicated my life to pioneering original research in pulse & tongue diagnostics, building Plant Go to gamify flora conservation, and exploring deep spiritual practices.

Three Interconnected Pillars

Since completing college in 2017, I have channeled my curiosity into three distinct yet deeply symbiotic domains: inner spiritual inquiry, Ayurvedic diagnostic AI, and ecological plant preservation.

Pillar 01

Ayurveda, Pulse & Tongue AI

Pioneering original research to assess human health through Tongue (Jihva) and Pulse (Nadi) examination. Building custom AI vision models and intelligent APIs for personalized health.

Pillar 02

Plant Go & Forest Walks

"Pokémon GO for Plants." A gamified ecosystem with real incentives to map, protect, and grow medicinal & edible flora. Conducting experiential forest walks near Wonderla.

Pillar 03

Spiritual Inquiries

Immersed in Vipassana, Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, Ashtavakra Gita, Osho, Isha, Butoh, Sufi mysticism, and the conscious evolution philosophy of Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Reading Health Through Pulse, Tongue & Neural Vision

In traditional Indian medicine, the tongue (Jihva) and radial pulse (Nadi) are direct mirrors of internal organ balance, digestive fire (Agni), and doshic equilibrium.

Because exhaustive clinical literature on tongue diagnosis was sparse, I spent years conducting original empirical research. Today, I am among the very few in the world who can decipher detailed physiological imbalances from tongue characteristics, and I am training AI computer vision models to make this ancient science universally accessible.

Jihva Pariksha (Tongue Topography)

Analyzing coating thickness, tongue color, papillae inflammation, crack patterns, and edge scallops mapped to specific organ meridians.

Nadi Pariksha (Pulse Biometrics)

Feeling the subtle rhythmic movements of Vata (cobra), Pitta (frog), and Kapha (swan) at multiple pulse depths to understand root causes.

AI Vision Diagnostics & Custom Models

Developing automated computer vision algorithms and APIs that analyze tongue photographs to predict metabolic imbalances and recommend lifestyle remedies.

Kapha-Ama Dominant

Thick White Coating (Ama & Sluggish Agni)

Indicates sluggish Agni (digestive fire), mucus stagnation in the lower gastrointestinal tract, and accumulation of metabolic endotoxins (Ama).

Vata (Air/Ether)
25%
Pitta (Fire/Water)
20%
Kapha (Earth/Water)
55%
Corresponding Pulse Pattern: Mandagathi (heavy, slow swan-like pulse)
Ayurvedic Guidance: Trikatu herbal formulation, fresh ginger-lemon tea before meals, fasting or warm mung dal khichdi. Avoid dairy, cold iced drinks, and refined flours.

Plant Go: "Pokémon GO for Plants"

What if exploring nature, identifying rare native plants, and planting trees felt as thrilling and rewarding as a mobile game?

I created Plant Go (plantgo.club) to provide tangible incentives for citizens to map, protect, and grow medicinal plants, edible flora, flowers, and fruits across India.

Guided Plant Walks in Forests Near Wonderla

Step away from digital noise into living biodiversity. I conduct hands-on botanical discovery walks in the serene forests near Wonderla (Bangalore/region).

Identify Wild Medicinal Herbs

Learn to spot life-saving plants like Vasaka, Brahmi, Bhringraj, and rare climbers growing right alongside jungle trails.

Forage Edible Wild Greens

Taste indigenous wild sour leaves, forest berries, and edible flowers that our ancestors relied upon for dense phytonutrients and longevity.

Ayurvedic Botany & Taxonomy

Backed by my Diploma in Indian Traditional Medicinal & Aromatic Plants, receive rigorous botanical taxonomy combined with traditional lore.

Featured Forest Specimens

Click through some of the primary plants we encounter and map during our walks:

Adhatoda vasica (Justicia adhatoda)
Vasaka / Malabar Nut
Family: Acanthaceae

Medicinal & Botanical Significance

Renowned in Charaka Samhita as the premier natural herb for respiratory health. Its bioactive alkaloid vasicine relieves broncho-spasms, liquifies mucus, and supports deep cellular oxygenation during mountain and forest treks.

Key Bioactive: Vasicine & Vasicinone
Ayurvedic Taste (Rasa): Tikta (Bitter), Kashaya (Astringent)
Growth Habitat: Wild medicinal shrub in deciduous forests

Auroville Living & The Inner Landscape

I live in Auroville, Pondicherry — an international township dedicated to peace, sustainable research, and human unity inspired by the vision of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother.

My work in artificial intelligence and pulse diagnosis is not detached from inner consciousness; rather, it is born from years of immersion across diverse meditative and somatic traditions.

Vipassana Meditation Vigyan Bhairav Tantra Ashtavakra Gita Osho Active Meditations Isha Yoga Butoh (Embodied Presence) Sufi Mysticism & Whirling Sri Aurobindo's Integral Yoga

From the silent equanimity of Vipassana to the 112 dharanas of Kashmir Shaivism (Vigyan Bhairav Tantra), and from the radical non-duality of Ashtavakra Gita to the raw somatic expression of Japanese Butoh dance — these traditions have sharpened my intuitive perception to listen deeply: whether to a person’s radial pulse, the signs on their tongue, or the rhythm of a forest canopy.
