Modern life and its many adverse effects pose a challenge to all health professionals all over the world. As medicos turn to alternative therapies in search of better solutions, Holistic treatment is quickly gaining
prominence for its definite impact, without any side effects. Holistic treatment is the art and science of healing that addresses care of the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. The practice of holistic treatment integrates
conventional and complementary therapies to promote optimal health and prevent and treat disease by addressing contributing factors. In practice, this means that each person is seen as a unique individual, rather
than an example of a particular disease. The disease is understood to be the result of physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and environmental imbalance. Healing, therefore, takes place naturally when these aspects of
life are brought into proper balance. It offers 100% effective and permanent cure for every ailment that affects mankind including High Blood Pressure, Heart Diseases, Diabetes, Infertility, Prostate, Hormone Imbalance,
Arthritis, and Skin Diseases.

Considering the modern era and the need to bring back quality education, Satguru Foundation started the residential school “International Sadguru Gurukulam” based on the most effective Gurukul education system, in the year 2018 at Kundaim, Ponda Goa.

Why International Sadguru Gurukulam ?

The generation today is much more preoccupied with modern lifestyle and their career related vying. Our culture and traditions hold less significance to them. Parents often realize the depth of the situation but tend to overlook as they find no cure to it. Every parent is liable to make his child strong enough to survive in this fast moving modern world, yet reviving vedic and most ancient Indian culture into them. H.H. Sadguru Brahmeshanandacharya Swamiji envisioned the forthcoming situation where the gene of moral conscience and ethical values would no more be expressed in the future generation and International Sadguru Gurukulam was found to be the ultimate cure to it keeping in mind the all-round development of the child. This formed the baseline behind the birth of this educational institution by Satguru Foundation.

We organize various health care programmes. Such programmes play a central and critical role in improving access and quality of physical and mental health care for the population.  Through such programmes we provide essential services that promote hygiene, prevent disease and deliver health care services to individuals, families and communities to make our nation healthy and safe.

Rural Development

Rural development is an important parameter when we aim for national development, as majority of population resides in rural areas, strengthening and empowering this population indeed serves an important contribution in national development.

Rural Development is a policy and human well being activity which has been passed by us in the process of improving the quality of life and economic well being  of people living in relatively isolated lands.

We conduct various activities which are designed to improve the social  and economic life of the rural population. It is a process , which aims at improving the wellbeing and self realization of people living outside the urbanized areas.

Environmental Awareness Drives

We have environmentalists being a part of our organisation who patronize towards the society by protecting mother nature. We mediate between government policies and locals to reach maximum efficiency. We organise tree plantation drives and make people aware of the current scenario. Water conservative events, Beach cleaning, E-waste management etc are few of the firm steps towards healing mother nature

Our motive of environmental awareness drives is for public awareness of the environment which  provides the ability to understand the surrounding world including understanding all the changes occurring in the environment, understanding the cause and effect, relationships between mother nature and humans. Awareness helps to reduce environmental impact by making choices that will benefit the individual and the world at large.

Planting and Nurturing Trees

Satguru Foundation believes in the philosophy of staying connected with Nature to enjoy the ecstasy of life.  Grow green concept was brought in limelight and an initiative was taken to plant as many trees possible by every volunteer and spread greenery. The task was not only limited to planting the trees but a responsibility was taken to take care till they attain maturity. Trees play vital role in ecological balance. Right from providing Oxygen to purifying air, from aiding in water cycle to holding the soil to prevent soil erosion, from providing food to shelter, trees have served mankind in enormous ways. The lessons of being a GIVER and provider can be well learnt from trees and this is the reason the more we stay in connection with trees the more we shall grow spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Grow Green, a beautiful idea to allow the youth to reconnect with our cultural roots wherein trees are considered sacred, worshipped and protected. The importance and significance of different plants, be it medicinal, ornamental, commercial was learnt by understanding the avid biodiversity we are blessed with. Knowledge of our rich heritage is very important for us to rise as global leaders.

Environmental activities like tree plantation drive in industrial areas are conducted. Under the banner of Go Green event sessions are taken at school level to imbibe the thought of Nature conservation in students. Tree plantation drives are conducted by our volunteers in different sectors, motivating locals to be part of this nature conservation cause.

Promotion of Organic Farming and modern agricultural techniques for farmers.

We organize various environmental awareness drives such as Gayatri mantra chanting to inspire agricultural experiments for farmers, planting and nurturing trees. We focus on promotion of organic farming and modern agriculture techniques for farmers. The objective of creating environmental awareness amongst the farmers is to motivate the farmers to practice conservation techniques and environmental friendly farming by deepening their understanding of the importance of preserving the natural resources of the watershed in which they live.
