Genesis of the Charitable Hospital
Through
the Divine Inspiration and Blessings of Shri
Haidakhan Babaji and his teachings of a life based on truth, simplicity &
love and service to humanity, the duty to help the poor and needy. Shri
Babaji placed an extremely strong emphasis on Karma Yoga. A natural outcome
of the emphasis on karma yoga was Babaji’s forceful and potent philosophy of
social welfare. Man had to serve man to raise his physical and
intellectual levels. Slowly, Baba began to disseminate the importance of
caring for man’s mental and physical well being if he was to grow
spiritually, and narrowed in, as a start, on the populace of the Kumaon
region – a region so dear to him.
It was in
Chilianaula, [Below the hill station of Ranikhet] that Babaji began to
envision and talk with a few select devotees about the need to begin a small
charitable medical unit to serve the poor and the impoverished from the
local and surrounding areas. Moved by the low socio-economic conditions of
the Kumaon people, Babaji wanted to build and establish a comprehensive
health care centre for them. This concept of charity began to take material
shape soon after Babaji departed his mortal body in early 1984.
Babaji had stressed, “…Find your duties in this world and
perform them with love, dedicating everything to God. Karma yoga -- selfless
service to mankind -- is the highest form of worship in these troubled
times. It helps to purify and protect mankind.”
