Since the country went under lock-down to stop the spread of the coronavirus, Parmarth Niketan and the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance have been actively engaged in helping in a way possible, and has continued to serve both those within the ashram as well as those under lockdown in the surrounding area. Some of our service has included:
From the very beginning of the lockdown Parmarth Niketan has been engaged in feeding the hungry. It began with feeding the hundreds of sadhus and homeless sisters and brothers.
From the very beginning of the lockdown Parmarth Niketan has been engaged in feeding the hungry. It began with feeding the hundreds of sadhus and homeless sisters and brothers.
We have offered both the ashram’s Swami Shukdevanand Hospital, Nature Cure Center, and Yoga Hall spaces to the government to use for the treatment of patients with the coronavirus or for quarantine.
In partnership with Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, 10,000 PP suits are being prepared for the frontline workers fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
The women and girls of our Divine Shakti Foundation vocational training center have made hundreds of high quality durable masks so far and are continuing to produce them daily by hand.
Parmarth Niketan & the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance, in partnership with UNICEF, UNFPA, WSSCC, Eros Now, Sanskar Channel and other organizations, have brought together eminent faith leaders of the Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, and Buddhist community on the faith response to COVID-19, including:
These gatherings aim to inspire leaders to inspire their communities to behave responsibly during this time, teach proper ways to stop the spread of the virus, and to eliminate any misconceptions about who can be infected, and erase any stigmas between race or religions.
Additionally, in partnership with UNICEF, UNFPA, and WSSCC, GIWA has put together videos from faith leaders regarding the response to COVID-19 for massive social media sharing, to use the power of faith to encourage people to make smart decisions with regard to their health and safety, as well as the health of their community, the nation, and the world. This includes messages from faith leaders on topics such as staying at home, stopping the spread, and taking the pandemic seriously, and reminding people that the coronavirus doesn’t impact only people of a certain religion or race.
These videos aim to remove any stigma or discrimination against people or groups of people surrounding the coronavirus, as such discrimination only further creates borders and boundaries in this global fight against the virus.
For our global family locked down around the world, we are providing online through our social media channels a full-day of yoga, satsang, meditation, Ganga Aarti, inspiring videos, and special celebrations (such as live recordings of Hanuman Jayanti celebrations, Easter celebrations, etc.) to help them stay peaceful, calm, connected and grounded during this challenging time.
As we move towards a New Normal, the ashram is instituting measures of greater sanitation, hygiene and health to ensure that we prevent and curb the spread of Covid-19 as well as boost our immunity and promote a greater sense of wellness. Click here to see NDTV coverage of the Covid-19 measures we are undertaking at the Parmarth Gurukul!
In addition to the devastating sickness and the tragic loss of life, one of the major effects of the Covid-19 pandemic has been its economic effect on impoverished and indigent groups and the loss of livelihoods and life’s essentials. Parmarth Niketan has undertaken bi-weekly visits to some of Uttarakhand’s poorest neighborhoods, including those within Rishikesh, to provide much-needed assistance to our most-deserving and most disenfranchised neighbors.
Since the beginning of the lockdown, Parmarth has held a number of special prayer ceremonies for the healing of the world, including Special Prayers of Healing, Prayers for Corona Frontline Workers, and Lights of Hope & Healing in Times of Corona.
During this uncertain time of the coronavirus, Pujya Swamiji, Sadhvi Bhagawatiji, and all of Parmarth Niketan are sending our heartfelt prayers and blessings to everyone around the world. Please see below to watch special inspirational messages from Pujya Swamiji, Pujya Sadhviji, and Parmarth.

At this time of fear and contraction, ask yourself “What am I blessed with?” The question that arises next is, what can we do? How can we help?
For us locked down, it’s as if Mother Earth has metaphorically sent us all to our rooms until we learn our lesson. We need to find a way to live in balance, harmony, and love for Her.

Pujya Swamiji so beautifully linked the traditional story of Devrishi Narad Muniji to our current times, saying that – because news is so rapidly and readily available online – it is easy to spread fake news and misinformation.

Sadhviji beautifully describes the story of how Lord Rama was exiled to the forest for 14 years where He had to forage for food and shelter, He went without hesitation, without complaining or grumbling or looking for a way to cut corners. We are now, during our Corona Lockdown Challenge, being asked to go not to the forest for 14 years, but the comfort, safety and privilege of our own homes. Let us give birth to Lord Rama in our own hearts and lives and truly live His message. When we emerge from our quarantine we will create together Ram Rajya, the reign of Righteousness, of integrity, of Dharma, Truth, Love, Oneness and Health not only here but all across the planet.
