The Trust seeks to promote these ideals and create training programs related to medicine, academia, economics, environment & ecology, social service, and creative art, with the aim to bring about integrated human development and improvement in the quality & concept of harmonious life. In our present-day society, everybody is rapidly running toward super-development in a very short time. People have little time for their physical and mental health, and there is a ubiquitous form of thought pollution that has led people in search of immediate pleasure. In doing so, humans are ignoring the side effects of these hurries, which result in the manifestation of mental and physical problems and diseases. Unfortunately, traditional medicines are reducing the resistance, immune power, and lifespan of humankind. These effects are also causing a large financial loss to humanity. However, all of these chronic and acute diseases can be prevented by coming back into harmony with nature. Shree Mangal Yoga ( SMY ) Nature Cure Centre has decided to promote its unique, low-cost, simple system of nature cure to the world. SMY Nature Cure was founded in 1996 at the foothills of Himalayas and on the banks of holy Ganges River, by five dedicated individuals. Since then, SMY has been providing services to people of all races, nationalities, and creeds, and thousands of patients with acute and chronic diseases have benefited. Now SMY is expanding its base so more people may benefit physically, mentally, emotionally, and economically. Past patients medical bills have been reduced by about 60% to 75% within one year, making them feel stronger, happier, and betterprepared to enjoy the fruits of the world.
