Magic on Mira Road: Stories from the Bhaktivedanta Hospital - Paperback

by Radha Bhakti Dasi (Author)

In the 1980s, four young medical school students felt the need to provide fr ee,

holistic care for the millions of impoverished people in their hometown of

Mumbai. They stepped into Mumbai's slums with nothing more than a mat,

a few medicines, and a sacred song. From those humble beginnings grew

Bhaktivedanta Hospital-now a 300-bed, state-of-the-art hospital and research

centre serving thousands with compassion for the body, mind, and soul.

Magic on Mira Road takes you inside this extraordinary hospital-where

patients don't want to be discharged, staff members don't want to go home at

the end of their work day, and managers lead with heart. You'll read stories of

sorrow, triumph, love, and spirituality. Along the way, you'll also get a glimpse

into the universal spiritual principles of the bhakti-yoga tradition that inspire

it all. You will witness a radical vision of healthcare that has the power to

transform lives, and the world. You will experience at least some of the magic

that is the Bhaktivedanta Hospital.
