Mount Abu’s pleasant climate & beautiful natural scenery attracts tourists from all over the world. Especially during the summer when other parts of Rajasthan suffer under the sun’s scorching heat. Even though Mount Abu is full of tourists, places like toad rock, Jain temple & Nakki lake, it is also a perfect destination to embark on a spiritual journey from Sarneshwar Mahadev Ji temple to Bramha- kumaris, a world-renowned spiritual university. Mount Abu Brahma Kumaris headquarters is one of the institutions of the world that aims to heal traumas on a social and individual level at a time when Moral standards are declining and values are disintegrating in the world.

Global Hospital & Research Center 

Global Hospital & Research Center 

One of the least privileged parts of India is Western Rajasthan, which has a lot of deserts, insufficient water, and a high illiteracy rate. Consequently, most of the population has long been denied access to basic health measures. This situation was changed in 1990 after the establishment of J. Watumal Memorial Global Hospital & Research Center. A peaceful, rural hospital designed to provide comprehensive, high-quality health care to 100,000 patients, most of whom are tribal residents inhabiting 855 primitive villages. A charitable trust manages and runs the hospital, which members of the Brahma Kumaris support. Mount Abu’s Global Hospital and Research Centre are like the fulfilment of a dream for the local tribal people and residents. By combining western science and oriental remedies with the techniques of Rajyoga meditation, the GHRC was built to provide holistic healthcare to this predominantly rural and poor area. GHRC is known for its spectacular surroundings, clean interiors, and staff with serene, smiling faces. GHRC operates under-qualified personnel. Many of them even practice Rajyoga meditation. The outpatient department has 15 clinics. In addition, there are 70 in-patient beds, a radiology laboratory, and a pathology lab for diagnostic testing, homoeopathic, and magnetotherapy, with natural cure clinics. Over 80% of the hospital’s services are provided free of charge.
