AKHANDA YOGA DHAM TRUST, RISHIKESH

Brahmachari Pranav Chaitanya, Director of the Institute has devoted his whole life for the service of the mankind with the noble cause of making people healthy by Yoga & Meditation. Thereby establishing a controlled and natural diet, and a disciplined lifestyle. At the age of 22 years he qualified for his MBA from IIM, Calcutta. He might have had a brilliant career in management but his dreams were different and accordingly he decided to devote his life for the service of the mankind.

Looking at the changing the lifestyle of people which causes reduction in their life span, and various disease like diabetes, heart problems, asthma, polio, paralysis, arthritis, gout, cancer, epilepsy, hypertension, hypotension, insomnia, neuralgia, obesity, etc. and the failure of allopathic systems to care for these diseases completely, he learnt the ancient therapies e.g. yoga and meditation, acupuncture & acupressure, magnetic therapies, pranic-healing, chromopathy, pancha-tattwa, shat-karma and yogic-kriyas, etc.

After then successfully learning and getting various diplomas, he started using these techniques for the betterment of the human being since the last 10 years. He has been engaged in organising various camps & seminars every year in different parts of India & on his own and with the help of contributions and donations from the public and other social organisations. He has faced difficulties during his past working experience e.g. camping & seminars, so as a result in 1996 he created a public charitable trust named AKHANDA YOGA DHAM TRUST (A.Y.D.T) which is now at work year round in the above areas in India. This charitable trust is very keenly carrying the ancient glory of the sages & humanity of the Golden civilization of Aryavart. So many suffering people who had mental, physical and spiritual pains and maladies are getting peace and health as well as a harmonious life.

The devoted trustees of Mangal Ashram gave the Centre 500 sq. yards of land with 2-3 rooms at their Ashram for his lifetime to run a independent centre under the name of SHRI MANGAL YOGA NATURE CURE CENTRE.

For the last 3 years, the above centre has been running with 5 beds but recently 5 beds were added bringing the total to 10. Thousands of patients have gotten benefits from this centre. Apart from this permanent centre at Mangal Ashram, Muni Ki Reti, Rishikesh Dist. Tehri Garhwal -- regular camps offering nature cure systems etc. are being organised by the trust in the states of West Bengal, Bihar, Gujrat, Rjasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

The real scientific merits of these activities and their potentialities in the field of yoga & nature cure lies in the fact that the common people can adopt it as a way of life, learn its curing technique easily and can then manage their health or cure without necessarily going to a medical professional. It is expected to train and encourage everyone to learn a risk free treatment for themselves and their family members and to bring down the number of hospital going patients. Thus the institute spreads health awareness and the education of self health and it also helps in upgrading the knowledge, skills and quality of practising naturopaths.
