Amazing





Today, we went on a little trip to a different hospital. The hospital was about  three hours north from VIMHANS. It was called Arpana Pushpanjali hospital. This hospital is as opposed VIMHANS a government run hospital and from what I have seen totally different. First, we went to this temple on the hospital's ground. The temple was incredible. There, we saw a million sculptures and pictures of different gods and goddesses. Among them there was Jesus Christ and Mohammad, the Moslem prophet. The philosophy of the hospital was that people of all religions should live as a family. Everybody who comes to the hospital is considered part of a big family and treated accordingly. We met the sister of the founder of the hospital and she kept emphasizing how important meditation is. All illnesses, psychological and physical, can be cured by relaxation and meditation. At the garden right outside of the temple, the sculptures of gods and goddesses continued and made the garden look even more beautiful. The hospital as a whole seemed much more meditation and yoga based than VIMHANS; it made me feel much more calm. The philosophy of the hospital seemed very spiritual and we were welcomed very warmly. The hospital is also far off from any bigger city. There are not too many cars, no honking and the air doesn't appear to be as polluted. Because of all this loving, spiritual and environmentally friendly surrounding, can patients be considered to be more likely to recover? Be cured? Maybe... I don't know!?
