It is an initiative for the early detection of tuberculosis and improvement of patients’ nutritional status. We cover a population of 200,000 in 62 villages, identify TB suspects and refer them to hospital for further investigation.
The Foundation’s flagship project is VIHASA, a modular personal and team development programme. First published in 2004, the programme has been translated into more than a dozen languages and is in use in more than 30 countries. The results have been universally positive, with caregivers reporting a renewed sense of purpose, reduced risk of exhaustion and burnout, and improved patient care. For more info: Click Here
Established in the year 1985, the Medical Wing is one of the 20 service wings of the Rajyoga Education and Research Foundation. More than 3000 members of the Wing include those practising modern medicine as well as other alternative branches of medicine, nurses, pharmacists and paramedical personnel. Most of them offer voluntary services to society when needed.
The Wing’s primary focus is on promoting health awareness and popularising the use of meditation along with medication. Meditation helps in quietening the mind and creating positive thoughts. The challenge in the current scenario of healthcare is to promote a holistic approach.

Some of the results
The main focus of the research has been:
We have already conducted 4 camps at the Manmohinivan complex of Shantivan. Every month we invited 50 – 60 diabetes patients with their spouse and gave them proper training with morning and evening meditation and exercise, health education on healthy and balanced diet and lifestyle for diabetes patients, etc. We had a thorough laboratory investigation of all patients – ie HbA1c, Kidney function, Liver function, etc. We checked their blood sugar both pre meals and post meals all the 7 days of stay at our campus. We gave them the right medication according to their condition and at the end of the program, we found almost 100 % control of their blood sugar and blood pressure. We also assessed their mental status with various questionnaire by clinical psychologists and found tremendous improvement in their quality of life. We are regularly following up with these patients and find them to have good glycemic control and reduction of body weight in those who were overweight.

Under the ‘My India Healthy India’ project, ‘My India, Addiction Free India’ the campaign was launched which specifically focuses on children & youth. The campaign is based on an experiential methodology taught by Brahma Kumaris. It aims to create awareness and educate people about the ill-effects of alcoholism and substance abuse on the individual, the family, the workplace and society at large
An independent study undertaken by the specialist team of doctors of GHRC, who covered addicts from 25 states and 2 UTs of the country made remarkable conclusions. They were studied for ‘Effect of Rajyogi Lifestyle as taught by the BKs. It was found that 65% of the study subjects gave up the substance of abuse successfully within 1 month of starting the comprehensive practice of Rajyogi lifestyle & a total of 85% did so within 1 year. An extremely low number (3%) relapsed subsequently with almost nil withdrawals (less than 1%).
Health Promoting Gardens is a novel concept by Medical Wing. Gardens promote physical health, mental health through relaxation and sasfaction. It can provide a harmonious space to relax, unwind, reflect and restore ourselves. BKs believe and follow cleanliness inside and outside. They are keenly interested in Environmental Health issues and offer lasting spiritual solutions to world problems. BKs have been entrusted with maintaining a number of gardens across the country.
Besides beautiful lawns, green trees, a variety of plants, play zones of kids, some of these gardens have special walking tracks (a combination of a variety of paths), reflexology paths, colored pyramids, yoga floors & meditation rooms.
