APPEAL for
Support of Hospital Renovation
Situated in one
of the most picturesque spots of the Himalayas at a height of about 7000 ft.,
Advaita Ashrama, Mayavati, was started by Swami Vivekananda in 1899. It is a
branch of Ramakrishna Math, Belur. The special object of the Ashrama, as its
name implies, is to study, practise, and preach Advaita or the eternal truth of
the Oneness of all existence. This centre has been entrusted with the
publication and propagation of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda and Vedanta literature.
It is also publishing Prabuddha Bharata, the oldest English monthly magazine in
India, since the last 115 years.
Apart from being
a monastery, this Ashrama runs a hospital called the Mayavati Charitable
Hospital. It came into being in response to the pressing needs of the
neighbouring villages, where live some of the poorest people of the country.
Patients come here from distant places across hills and dales, sometimes
trudging a distance of nearly 50 km. Their helplessness in sickness would touch
any heart if only it were known. We run a 25 bed indoor hospital and an outdoor
patients department in this out-of-the way place since 1903. All treatment is
done free of charges. Moreover, Surgical Camps, Dental Camps, Urological Camps,
Eye Camps etc. are held throughout the year to provide special care to the poor
villagers of Kumaon region. We bring qualified doctors from different cities to
conduct such medical camps.
The uplift of
the backward and downtrodden has always been one of the key objectives of
Ramakrishna Math & Ramakrishna Mission, of which this Ashrama is a branch.
It is needless to mention here that if this
View from Ashrama institution has attained to its present stature, it is
because of love, sympathy, and benevolence of charitably inclined people like
you.
