One of the important objectives of this mission is
reinterpretation and propagation of the eternal principles of spirituality by
establishing their compatibility with science. In ancient times credibility of
tenets of spirituality were unquestionably acknowledged because they were
advocated as spiritual proclamations and sayings of sages and prophets. Advancements
in science have now so reconditioned way of thinking of the people that they
accept things only after testing and examining them logically and
scientifically. At Shantikunj, laboratories for research in spirituality have
been established to provide scientific credibility to the claims of advantages
accruing from practices like yoga and meditation. With its most modern
equipment and a supporting library, research in this institution is re-establishing
the relevance of the Vedic way of life for the new age.
One of the departments of the Brahmavarchas Research Institute
is working to resurrect “Ayurveda” the most ancient Indian system of
medicine which deals with treatment of diseases and maintenance of health by
using herbs. There are quite a few specialists and post-graduate scholars
associated with the research. There is yet another faculty for monitoring
physical and mental vitality of human body, so that these can be appropriately
utilised integral human growth.
