We got a top washing machine from our friends in Villach!

Archna, who is nurse in an emergency department in a big hospital of Villach, Kärtnen, South of Austria, was this year in India and visited our hospital. When she realized that we are giving the laundry of the hospital to a washman in the village, who is washing the bed sheets by hand and drying in the sun, she spontaneously decided to try to get donations in Austria for a proper washing machine. She was asking in the hospital where she is working doctors, colleges, friends to support this activity and she was quite successful. Even her two children 14 and 16 years old donated some of their pocket money for the machine. When Sadhvi Shanti came to Villach on 9. Dec. with a photo presentation of Mt. Kailash, she could give her the donation of 540 Euros to buy a good washing machine with all programs, so that the bed sheets can be washed now with 95 degrees. We thank her very much. Also we thank to Bhaktanand, who is every year organizing with great success a flee market for our hospital. Big thanks to Villach donors and active helpers!

Mangilal get relieve from kneeproblems, thanks to Dr. Parihar

Mangilal Ram is a farmer from Sonia, distr. Pali, who had problems with his knees since five years with pain and swelling over the left knee. He visited many different doctors but he didn’t get relieve from his pain. Even three times an aspiration of the joint was done, where fluid was aspirated, but nothing helped till now. Two weeks ago Dr.Parihar, Orthopedic Surgeon, examined him and gave him a good healing plan: he prescribed him Analgesics and medicines for a few days to reduce the swelling and pain, but recommended him specially to make Physiotherapy for 6 month, 3 times per week. And he promised him that if he will make this exercises regularly and come to the Electro Physiotherapy, he will be better very soon. He is coming now in our Physiotherapy center where he gets best treatment with Electrotherapy, Ultrasound and exercises. He is already much better, following strictly the advice of the doctor, making his exercises with great discipline. We wish him all the best for his completely recovery.

Story:Mangala Ram’s hand was saved

“I am so lucky and thankful to Austria Hospital because I got the chance to get the treatment here and so my right hand thumb was saved.” These are words of Mangala Ram, a poor farmer of KANVAS Village. Mangala Ram is a 45 years old farmer, working as a Thrasher on a trashing machine.
‘’I started to work in the morning of the 16. Nov., as usual, but all of a sudden my hand slipped in the machine, I felt a terrible pain and everything was completely full with blood within a second. It seems to me that I lost my fingers and I was very afraid about this. I have 2 children and a family which I have to feed, who will help them if I cannot work anymore? Another worker, who was beside me, put a thick piece of cloth over my hand and tried to find a possibility to reach a doctor. It was a terrible time for me, I cannot think on this anymore.’’ In rural area it is very difficult to find quickly a public transportation. So he started to walk with his college, who supported him, to the nearest bus stop and so they reached the SSMA AUSTRIA HOSPITAL, JADAN. Our hospital team attended him already as he was announced as Emergency Patient. We immediately put him into the Minor Operation Theater and our doctor started with the treatment. He had a major and deep cut on his right hand side thumb. Before stitching his thumb was looking almost like it was separated from the other part of the hand and we were all afraid that the thumb would be lost. But the Doctor made 5 stitches inside and 5 stitches from outside and saved his hand with the thumb on it. We were all glad about it. We kept the farmer for another day in the hospital for observation, but all went fine and no problem occurred in the healing process afterwards.
It took of course some time till the deep wound healed completely, but Mangala Ram was so happy that he kept his thumb and can continue to work as a Trasher in the future. ’’Thank you all team of hospital, you saved my life and the future of my family.’’ Mangala Ram got the treatment at the right time and we could save his hand thanks to God. Now he is very happy and our hospital team is happy with him.

'When Gods are dancing'': charity event in Vienna

We had in Vienna on Tuesday 29.11.11.evening a wonderful INDIAN DANCE evening with BHAKTI DEVI (Indische Tanzschule Bharatnatyam), who gave a perfect dance performance.

It was a charity event and the donations are going to the Jadan Hospital(Sri Swami Madhavananda Austria Hospital). A dentist friend of Sadhvi Shanti was sponsoring the evening and many of his patients were enjoying the performance. We are very thankful for all the kindness, support and help we got on this evening to give medical help to the needy one in Rajasthan.

Sadhvi Shanti in Ukraine: Meditation seminar for Hospital

Yoga in daily life society of Cherkassy invited Sadhvi Shanti to hold a weekend-seminar on the subject of “MEDITATION – the way to happiness”. The seminar took place in the medical centre “Astra” in Cherkassy. The Saints of India brought the spiritual heritage of Yoga and Meditation to the world. Self-realization is the aim of all yoga paths. Meditation is the best tool to reach this aim, which is achievable for everyone. We practiced different techniques from Yoga in daily life, like asanas , concentration and different levels of “Self-Inquiry Meditation”. During the lectures we were recommended to study the ancient scriptures of Upanishads, Bhagvat-Gita, Adi Guru Shankaracharya and the books of “Yoga in daily life”, written by Swami Maheshwarananda. In satsangs, after interpretation, we were all chanting mantras, singing bhajans, especially those in connection with Meditation and Self-realization, like Shivoham and Cidananda Rupa Shivoham . The income of the whole program is going to the Sri Swami Madhavananda Austria Hospital in Jadan, India to help the needy one.

A real Xmas story: Only God can heal

Dr. Radesh Vyas, our general surgeon of the Hospital, told me the following story, which he experienced some years ago: “I was in night duty in the Manadhari Hospital in Jodhpur. Suddenly in the middle of the night we had 2 emergency cases one after the other, with an interval of half an hour. The first patient was a very rich man who had a severe heart attack and he was in danger of life. Immediately they shifted him in the Emergency room and gave him all ever possible medicines and infusions to maintain his life. You must know that there is no health insurance in India and people have to pay their medicines themselves. For the family of the rich man this was not a problem and he got all costly medicines and best treatments, to save his life.
After thirty minutes another patient was admitted: it was a poor farmer who had as well a severe heart attack, which could cost his life. He had lots of pain and was in bed condition. His son came with him to take care of him. After the emergency treatment the doctor recommended a very good but also very costly medicine for the farmer. His son was very sad because he didn’t have the money for it and he felt helpless. So he went out of the room and phoned to several friends and wealthier people with the request to give him money to save his father´s life. But he was not successful and didn’t find anyone to help to buy the right medicines for his father. So the doctors could give only symptomatically treatment to him, with painkillers, sedative and infusions, but could not give the really effective medicines to remove the blockage in the vessels of his heart, due to lack of money. I tried my best to take care of the patient and spoke with his son as well to console him, telling him that everything is possible and that he should not give up hope. But I personally didn’t have much hope that the poor man would survive. In the meantime the rich man was treated with all possible medical care in the intensive care.
Next morning when I started visiting the patients the son came to me, looking very exhausted and nervous. I was thinking that he will tell me now that his father passed away this night. But I was completely surprised because the son was just asking for some breakfast for his father. I asked him:“What is with your father? How is his condition?”- ”Well you know, after we understood that we don’t have a chance for best medicines, Dad started to repeat the name of God. So the whole night he was praying and chanting “OM NAMO SHIVAYA, OM NAMO SHIVAYA, OM NAMO SHIVAYA…… “repeating the whole night this mantra. After some time Dad get much better, he didn’t feel any more pain in the chest, could breathe normally, and felt much better.’’ I couldn’t believe this and we made an ECG and blood test for controlling his heart activity. And by miracle all health parameters where much better! The father looked to me, smiled and said: “See Lord Shiva saved me in this night, he gave me a new life. I am so thankful for this.”We were all were very happy, praising God for this miracle.
In the meantime in the Intensive care some time before the rich man passed away. Even so he gets all costly and super medical care his life could not be saved. His time on this world was over.
Medicine can only help. God is the biggest healer. Through his blessings everything is possible.

Tulsi plant is the Elixir of life

The 'tulsi' plant or Indian basil is an important symbol in the Hindu religious tradition. The name 'tulsi' connotes "the incomparable one". Tulsi is a venerated plant and Hindus worship it in the morning and evening. Tulsi grows wild in the tropics and warm regions.The presence of tulsi plant symbolizes the religious bent of a Hindu family. A Hindu household is considered incomplete if it doesn't have a tulsi plant in the courtyard.
The Holy Herb: Places that tend to inspire concentration, meditation and places ideal for worship. The manufacture of tulsi necklaces is a cottage industry in pilgrimages and temple towns.
Tulsi as Elixir:
Apart from its religious significance it is of great medicinal significance, and is a prime herb in Ayurvedic treatment. Marked by its strong aroma and a stringent taste, tusli is a kind of "the elixir of life" as it promotes longevity. The plant's extracts can be used to prevent and cure many illnesses and common ailments like common cold, headaches, stomach disorders, inflammation, heart disease, various forms of poisoning and malaria. Essential oil extracted from karpoora tulsi is mostly used for medicinal purposes though of late it is used in the manufacture of herbal toiletry.

The area where the hospital is situated is a deserted area, a place before the desert Tar is starting. There are no mountains or hills and people have no opportunity for condition training as in areas where hills, mountains and rocks are part of the landscape.

Accident on the NH 14 Highway

On the 21st of September an accident happened just outside of our hospital. A motorbike and a small truck collided with each other. The two people riding on the motorbike were seriously injured. Especially the person sitting on the back of the bike was affected very hard, as he was thrown approximately 7 feet far and hit the front glass of the mini truck. The driver of the motorbike fell down on the road and had injuries both on his arm and his head.

The two motorbike drivers had traumatic injuries and bled from different parts of their bodies. Luckily, some villagers saw the accident and brought the injured directly to the hospital. Consequently the first aid treatment could directly start and our doctors and nurses worked with greatest efforts to help the patients. The hospital staff directly informed the relatives of the injured and within half an hour they arrived at the hospital.

After the patient’s medical condition improved, they have been brought for further treatment to the hospital in Jodhpur. Mr. Choga Ram (22) and Mr. Bhagirath are both fine, although Mr. Choga Ram still has to recover from his serious head injury. Their relatives appreciate the work of the nurses and doctors. The staff of the SSMA hospital is deeply grateful for the motivation and help of all donors and especially of Dr. S. Shanti, because due to them, all services for the needy ones of the area can be provided in this rural area!

Free eye operation: Mishri Bai can see again

Mishri Bai (on the picture with her husband Mangi Lal), a 40 year old woman from the village Sojat City, had her second eye operated after the free Medical Camp of our Hospital. Mishri Bai’s husband is a cobbler and has a very small shop beside a road in a small town. They are having six children, three boys and three girls, who are all older than 12 years. The family does not have a lot of money and the life is difficult for them.
Although Mishri Bai was cleaning and helped with other work in several houses, she faced the problem that due to her weak eyesight, she could not work as much as before. Mishri already had an eye operation on her left eye about 9 years ago, but in recent years she was also seeing less and less on her right eye.
When the family received the pamphlet for the free Medical Camp, they were very happy. They approached the SSMA Hospital and Mishri was chosen for the free eye operation. After the successful operation she was able to see clearly on both eyes again and after a couple of days she could go back to work, which is very important for the income of her family. Mishri Bai expressed her gratitude to the great work of the doctors and staff of SSMA hospital and also we want to say thank you to all our donors who made this operation possible! Please help us also in the future, so that we can treat the needy ones of the area.

My time as a VOLUNTEER with the Hospital

I have been practicing Yoga in Daily Life for about a year, and ever since felt the urge to go abroad and help the needy ones. Nevertheless, it took some time for me to decide what to do. During a meditation lesson in the Ashram in Villach, the idea about going to India came into my mind. After discussing my plans with Sadhvi Dayaji, who has been my yoga trainer in Villach, she advised me to send an application as a karma yogi to Jadan Ashram. So I did… I got my application accepted and at that time, I had the chance to visit a presentation of Sadhvi Shantiji in Austria. She was talking about the hospital in Jadan. I was really impressed and asked her in more detail about her work with the needy ones in the area of Pali, Rajasthan. We arranged that if possible, I would help her as a volunteer during my stay in Jadan.I arrived at the beginning of August and was immediately impressed about India. Although my travel was quite long, I could not wait to arrive in Jadan. The Ashram and within the hospital building – it looked so great – I was not disappointed. I soon met with Shantiji and she showed me the hospital, introduced me to part of the staff and explained what kind of work was lying ahead of us.

Since then, I helped as much as I could. Besides administration work, we prepared presentations, changed and added things on the homepage (e.g. volunteering), translated things into German, checked the material for the Ayurveda treatment etc. Currently I’m also working on the applications for NGO funds, to guarantee a long-term funding of the hospital. A lot of equipment needs to be bought and more free medical camps, operations, medications and treatments need to be offered. These free treatments and the equipment of the hospital are only possible through the donations of lots of well-wishers from all over the world, and should be expanded through the financing of NGO funds.

The villagers here are living in extremely harsh conditions, without proper medical treatment and healthcare. The mortality rate of children is really high; women and children are the most vulnerable groups to diseases. Even an eye operation, which costs only 30 Euros, is not affordable for the villagers. Volunteering with the hospital offers many possibilities. You can work in administration, help is always and everywhere needed, or if you are a health professional, you can help hands-on in the hospital and train the local medical staff also. You can help where help is really needed. Furthermore you gain personal and professional experience you will never ever want to miss again. And last but not least, you work with great people from all over the world in a very special environment.

So if you are interested or have any questions, please check our website www.helphospital.org (and the volunteering section also) or write an e-mail to info.ssmahospital@gmail.com
All the best from Jadan,
Sandra

Patient from our Camp suffers from Hyperfluoris

Achla Ram, a 65 year old farmer from Khardi (a nearby village), came to the hospitals’ free medical camp, as he suffered from chronicle bronchitis. When we saw him, one of the first things we recognized was his strongly twisted spine. Mr. Ram walked with a cane and could not walk upright. He appeared to be older than he really was.
We were quite shocked when we heard, that 10 years ago he has been in a governmental hospital due to his joint and back pain. Unfortunately they did not examine him properly and treated him only symptomatically. Back then it would have probably been possible to stop the expansion of the hyperfluorosis.
Our doctors at the camp could now only treat his bronchitis and give him some relief from his joint and back pain. It was too late to stop the hyperfluorosis.
Such stories show, how hard life can be in this part of India. Even diseases that could be easily treated in Europe can have severe effects here. Apart from the non-existence of medical services, the other main reasons are the poor and unbalanced diet as well as the lack of clean water. We are very sorry that we could not do more for Mr. Ram, but we were also confirmed in our plans to expand the preventive programs for a healthy diet and lifestyle, to raise the awareness towards it already at an early age (e.g. schoolchildren).

MEGA CAMP A BIG SUCCESS

On 11th of September, the birthday of Holy Guruji, the biggest medical camp of this year took place in the hospital. Many villagers came to receive treatment, medication and consultation. We also offered Physiotherapy treatments, as the department just opened at that day.
The doctors from our hospital: Dr. Govind Marayan Arora (Senior Medical Doctor), Dr. Jogendra Singh (Junior Medical Doctor), Dr. Dr. Abhishek Dadhich (Dentist), Dr. Sidhant Joshi (Physiotherapist). Some doctors came from Pali and Jodhpur to help the needy ones of the area: Dr. Kailas Parihar (Orthopedic Surgeon), Dr. Rajesh Vyas (General Surgeon), Dr. G.K. Goyal (Opthalmologist).
The treatment of the doctors was highly appreciated by the villagers and approximately 200 came to receive medication, treatment and consultation. The mobile ambulance played a major role, as it brought the patients from the rural areas to the hospital. Three patients have been chosen for the free eye operations and two patients will receive surgery for free. The other patients could be helped with medication. We will provide free follow-up checkups to all patients that have been at that day in the hospital.
Throught the blessings of Holy Guruji, we can also announce great news: Dr. Kailas Parihar (Orthopedic Surgeon)will come for free each Sunday into the hospital to treat the villagers. Thanks for that!

A big thank you to all our donors which make these regular camps possible and thank you in advance for the support to come!

New General Doctor excellent for our local Indians

First operation in SSMA Hospital

DEVKANYA can LAUGH now again after her FINGER OPERATION
Devkanya is a 17 years old girl from Marvar Junction, living in a farmer family, which is under the poverty line. Since her birth she had on both hands a handicap :the 4th and the 5th finger were not separated(see photo) due to this she could not work properly with her hands. Also she has a big struma (swelling of the thyroid gland). First time I met Devkanya in our Hospital camp in March 2011. She came with her parents searching for help because the family could not effort an operation for her. She was very depressive and I felt very sorry for her. So we tried to help her as much as possible. And really it was possible: on 2th of May 2011 our first operation in Hospital was done on Devkanyas fingers – and it was successful! Dr. Rajesh Vyas , general sergeant, with one Assistant and Anesthetist where operating 60 minutes on her right hand and separated the both joint fingers successfully.Now Devkanya can laugh again! The second hand will be operated some time later. We gave all treatment and operation free to her. Thank you all , dear friends and donors, for supporting this kind of charity activities. We wish Devkanya a happy, healthy and successful life.

About 300 girls took part in that health awareness seminar. Not only the teenager girls but also school lady teachers benefited from this programme. In the second part, question and answers time, the girls were asking many questions related to general health & basic awareness. According to one lady teacher, in her whole life and 15 years of teachings, this was her 1st time she attended this kind of educational program. Many of them had personal consultation with Dr. Mathur. At the end, everybody sends regards and big Thank You to Austria Hospital for providing such educational programme.

In the future, the SRI SWAMI MADHAVANANDA AUSTRIA HOSPITAL will organize Health Check up programs for girls of different age for better Sukh Swasthya.

Story of Gypsyman Ashu Ram ji Devasi

"I am Ashu Ram, 80 years old, from the Devasi caste, a tribal Gypsy caste of Indian community, living at Rayiko Ki Dhani, Jadan, Dist. Pali in Rajasthan, India.
I am a very poor gypsy man having only 4 goats for making a living. My monthly income is only 50 rupees and in one year I get 4000-5000 rupees by selling these goats and sheep. I am living in a remote area which is far from any main road. I have four sons but they all are working and living in big cities and it is very rare that they come to Jadan village to see me. I am living with my wife, who is also very old and my 9 year old grandson, who lives with us and looks after me and my wife.
Due to this kind of poverty, it is very hard to survive at this time. I am not able to get any kind of medical treatment for my health, because my economic situation does not allow me to spend money on my health. But for the past year I faced many problems with my eyes, meaning I could not see properly.
Because I am a local villager and have passed many times in front of the hospital with my sheep and goats, I know about SRI MADHAVANANDA AUSTRIA HOSPITAL, but I was very afraid about hospital fees and extra expenses and charges for treatment. Day by day my left eye was becoming weaker and I was not able to see properly. One day I heard from other villagers that the hospital has good facilities of an Eye Doctor. Then I decided to come to the hospital and tell them about my economic situation.
I am very grateful to the whole Austria Hospital management and staff, who understood my economic problem and decided to provide me with free treatment. Dr. Goyal from Pali, did my checkup and found a cataract in my left eye. They decided to make an operation, but I didn’t have a relative with me except my 9 year old grandson, so I was bit afraid, money-wise and safety-wise too. Thankfully the AUSTRIA HOSPITAL solved all my problems and cleared my hesitation.
On a particular day I came to the hospital with my grandson, they admitted me and made a proper checkup and Dr. Goyal from Pali did my cataract operation free of charge. It was done properly and treatment was successful. The hospital provided me not only a free operation, but also free medicine, free accommodation, and free food for me and my grandson.
Thanks to SRI SWAMI MADHAVANANDA AUSTRIA HOSPITAL for these free services. My life is now back on track and I am very happy to see again the world full of light. The kindness and positive attitude of the hospital staff supported me greatly at that time, and they changed my thoughts too. Even now my grandson is familiar with the hospital and staff and he also wants to be a doctor and wants to do service for poor and needy people."
