This year’s World Mental Health Day comes at a time when our daily lives have changed considerably as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The last few months have brought many challenges: for health-care workers, providing care in difficult circumstances, going to work in fear of bringing COVID-19 home with them; for students, adapting to taking classes from home, with little contact with teachers and friends and anxious about their futures; for workers whose livelihoods are threatened for the vast number of people caught in poverty or in fragile humanitarian settings with extremely limited protection from COVID-19 and for people with mental health conditions with many experiencing even greater social isolation than before. And this is to say nothing of managing the grief of losing a loved one, sometimes without being able to say goodbye.

The economic consequences of the pandemic are already being felt as companies let their staff go on a long leave in an effort to save their businesses or indeed shut down completely as happened to some companies know to us.

Given past experience of emergencies, it is expected that the need for mental health and psychosocial support will substantially increase in the coming months and years. This is why the goal of this year’s World Mental Health Day campaign is increased investment in mental health.

Now, let’s go deeper and find out what is spirituality and how is it connected with mental health

Spirituality is a globally acknowledged concept. It involves belief and obedience to an all powerful force usually called God who controls the universe and the destiny of man. It involves the ways in which people fulfil what they hold to be the purpose of their lives, a search for the meaning of life and a sense of connectedness to the universe. The universality of spirituality extends across creed and culture. At the same time, spirituality is very much personal and unique to each and every person. It is a sacred realm of human experience. Spirituality produces qualities such as love, honesty, patience, tolerance, compassion, a sense of detachment, faith, and hope in man. Of late, there are some reports that suggest that some areas of the brain mainly the non-dominant ones, are involved in the appreciation and fulfilment of spiritual values and experiences.

Mental health has two dimensions: absence of mental illness and presence of a well-adjusted personality that contributes effectively to the life of the community. Ability to take responsibility for one’s own actions, flexibility, high frustration tolerance, acceptance of uncertainty, involvement in activities of social interest, courage to take risks, serenity to accept the things which we cannot change, courage to change the things which we can change, the wisdom to know the difference between the above, acceptance of handicaps, tempered self-control, harmonious relationships to self, others, including Nature and God are the essential features of mental health. Spirituality is an important aspect of mental health.

As pointed out earlier, spiritual values and religious practices are important in the lives of our patients. Many of their problems may centre round existential pre-occupations. It is therefore important that we incorporate spirituality and religious practices in our treatment protocol. We must propagate the bio-psycho-socio-spiritual model in our approach in psychiatry.

This is where Go Spiritual India comes into the picture. Go Spiritual India is a not for profit organisation that works for spiritual awareness, charity, organic, spiritual tourism, events, media and social causes and all this for the sake of mental health.

The organisation works towards spreading spiritual awareness in the world through events, media, tourism, books and other communications channels. It is also planning for a very large event for the World audience to promote Indian spirituality and ways of life.

India is known for its sacred culture, its holy shrines, its divine nature and the value-imparting ancient scriptures and many well-meaning traditions and rituals. We aim to bring this very spiritual essence of India at the centre stage.

We are venturing into laying the cornerstone of our Non-profit organization to help realise the dream of natural, peaceful, purposeful and spiritually-inclined living. Mirroring Ayurveda’s five elements of nature – earth, water, fire, air & space, we envision the following five long-term missions supported by our committed efforts to bring meaningful change:

Philanthropy: To give is to be – At Go Spiritual India, philanthropy is the beating heart of our core values. We believe in the ideals of selfless giving and making this world a better place. Our upcoming charity initiatives like India Strike’s Hunger and Blanket Donation drives are aimed at fighting the demons of hunger, malnutrition & poverty, providing warmth and balancing the inequalities in the favour of the less-privileged. We will launch pan-India initiatives with the help of volunteers at the ground level to address real issues and spread the message of contentment through compassion.

Digital Presence: Social Media is an indispensable part of today’s life. With a strong digital foothold, we aim to create a seamless knowledge ecosystem. Our website coupled with our social media presence will keep one abreast about the realms of spirituality and enable easier grasping of sacred texts and ancient wisdom in a user-friendly interface for the digitally savvy all over the world.

E-commerce: We will leverage the strength of E-commerce and cater to the honorable sentiment of Make in India for supplying the most organic, affordable and wide-ranging consumer goods finding its roots in the Indian folk wisdom and traditionalism while generating community employment. The Go Spiritual India’s E-commerce store will be a one-stop all for quality nature-infused merchandise.

Media: We also aim to establish a dedicated magazine,  News portal partnered with popular OTT platforms for creation and greater dissemination of new-age web programmes based on the themes of principles of morality, divine intervention and cosmic awareness.

Our Non-profit organization under the aegis of Go Spiritual India Publications will publish books, both printed and digital, to further the noble cause of education and practicing mindfulness through reading and enabling better comprehension of fundamental aspects of devotion and enlightenment. The revenue generated will be used by our NGO and will also be donated to other charitable institutions for catering to the needy.

Spiritual Tourism & Events: Unlocking the country’s tourism potential and gifting its sacred spaces to the world community for espousing the Indian ideals of harmony, meditation, clean-living and effectively using the backdrop of the India’s stunning landscapes, Go-spiritual India will inaugurate various retreats and wellness centres for peace-seeking tourists and wisdom-enthusiasts all over the world.

Think Coachella, but instead of a musical frenzy, a transcendental frenzy. Sounds interesting?

We are additionally adopting an integrated approach to spiritual learning by sponsoring periodical Spiritual Festivals and Events all across India for like-minded individuals to engage in an eclectic interchange of ideas and open-ended conversations about positivity, interconnection, natural healing, yoga and Vedic medications.
