After early schooling by Gurukula system in Ollur, he joined family ayurvedic clinic to assist his father and later worked at Vaidyaratnam Oushadhasala, when his father founded it 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.[4]
