The Heartfulness Institute continues to expand its holistic ecosystem at Kanha Shanti Vanam, its international campus near Hyderabad, with the launch of a new initiative — the establishment of a world-class AYUSH Wellness Centre.
The foundation stone for the centre was laid today by Mr. Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Minister of Jal Shakti, along with Daaji, the Heartfulness Guide. The upcoming centre aims to blend ancient wisdom with modern wellness practices, providing integrated services to individuals seeking holistic well-being. The facility is expected to be operational within 12 months and is poised to enhance wellness tourism in Telangana.
A Vision for Holistic Well-Being
Over the past few years, Kanha Shanti Vanam has evolved into a global destination for meditation and wellness, attracting nearly 200,000 visitors annually. This number is projected to rise substantially as the campus expands further in the coming year.
Speaking on the occasion, Daaji shared,
“Kanha Shanti Vanam has been transforming into a wellness destination as part of our vision to create a beautiful ecosystem that nurtures the body, mind, and soul. This includes opportunities for visitors to learn Heartfulness Meditation, engage in community-driven initiatives, and experience the greening of the environment. The AYUSH Wellness Centre is another step in drawing upon the wisdom of traditional systems, making them accessible to all for a balanced and healthy life.”
The AYUSH Wellness Centre: Integrating Ancient Systems for Modern Lives
The new centre will offer services across all AYUSH disciplines — Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy, and the Tibetan system of medicine, Sowa-Rigpa.
Planned features include:
540-bed facility for comprehensive care
Infrastructure for research, medicine storage, and training
Residential quarters for specialists, doctors, and students
Training facilities for AYUSH courses
The Heartfulness Institute has also partnered with the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY) to offer certificate courses in Yoga and is working closely with the Ministry of AYUSH to promote traditional wellness systems recognized for their numerous benefits.
