She represented the world Book of Records U.K. and on behalf of them, she felicitated Dr. Banarsi Lal Shah for his services to humanity. She honored Dr. Sah with a shawl and a certificate issued by the World Book of Records. On this joyous occasion, she said that Mind-Body Medicine conference’s name is very important. It is very crucial to manage the mind if we want to keep our body healthy. Mind your mind is a priority concept which is very important for self-management. Today doctors are under a lot of stress and become angry because of overwork. Add d to anger and it becomes dangerous. It is all the more important for doctors to be disciplined both at the mental and emotional levels as they are dealing with humans. Thoughts and feelings are an electromagnetic reality that affects the people around us. She quoted Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s vision for 2020. He said that we can make Bharat great by our ignited minds alone.An ignited mind is the biggest resource on earth. we need to reinvent, relearn, rethink and & rejuvenate ourselves with the help of spirituality. Only by adopting Rajyoga, we can remain stress-free in life. We should teach our kids how to dream and how to do yoga because it is Rajyoga that teaches you how to maintain relations and develop communication skills.

Dr. Pratap Middha vice president Medical Wing told about the services of the wing and Global Hospital and Research Centre. He said that doctors are so busy in the care and treatment of patients that they neglect themselves. The health scenario today is worst then it was 40 years ago. Complications are coming up and there is a need to work on preventive and promotive aspects of health. In order to achieve it, first of all, we need to know, who I am? At times not only the patient but the doctor also feels helpless. Therefore we have to educate and empower the patients. Principles of healthy living have to be taught to them. Because today lifestyle is a major cause for a number of diseases. If the patient does not co-operate, we cannot make them healthy. Nowadays compliance is the biggest issue. The patients do not observe control of diet and avoid exercise. Spirituality gives them the strength to follow the right type of Lifestyle. When we talk about health, the mind is as important as the body. Thoughts of the mind affect the body and vice versa. By changing our thought pattern we can have control on our bodies. Patients have to understand that health is in our hands and it is our responsibility. GHRC represents a model of total Health Care. Not only modern medicine is there, but we have meditation, yoga, positive thinking, panch Karma i.e. Ayurveda and homeopathy also over there. He further added that meditation is neither magic, nor a Mantra, but it is control over the self. Using these eyes we see only those things that we want to see, hear only those words that we want to hear. Raj Yoga meditation gives us a sense of mastery over ourselves. As is the mind, so is our body. Dr. Gaurav Agrawal said that the aim of the Mind-Body Medicine conference is the inculcation of spirituality in our day to day life. Spirituality alone can make a doctor’s life stress-free and enjoyable.

BK Nirwair bhai ji, Secretary General of Brahma Kumaris said that Baba is the Supreme surgeon who transforms human beings into deities, who have an average age of 150 years and will always be healthy for 21 births. Lack of knowledge has led to the enslavement of human beings by vices. In order to create a disease-free society, we have to leave five vices. All the conflicts from micro to Macro level in the word are the by-products of anger. We need love, not attachment. We need to fulfill our needs, not our greed. Doctor’s who have come to attend this conference will become double doctors as they will be healing not only the body but the minds of the patients also. In return, they will get double Taj in the golden era which is about to dawn.
