Special Guest of honor:

Dr Pratap Midha, Director of the J Watumull Global Hospital & Research Center in Mt Abu, Rajastan, India, will present medical & holistic services rendered by the hospital to the under privileged villages nearby.

The proceeds for this concert will go to a rural hospital in Mt. Abu, Rajasthan, India. Dr. Partap Midha, Director of the J. Watumull Global Hospital & Research Centre, will be with us to present medical and holistic services rendered by the hospital to the underprivileged villages nearby (www.ghrc-abu.com). Global Hospital is a centre for holistic health care. With about 3,000 surgeries and 85,000 outpatient treatments in 2009, it combines the best that modern medicine has to offer with complementary medicine systems like Ayurveda, homeopathy, magnet therapy and so on. Besides offering medical services through outpatient clinics and hospitalization, the hospital has expanded its operations to focus on community outreach programs, medical research, vocational education in paramedical streams and the promotion of health awareness.

The concert is sponsored by the Point of Life Foundation, a US nonprofit entity founded on the vision of a spiritual model of health care with emphasis on the well-being of the whole person (www.pointoflife.org). The venue is Anubhuti Meditation & Retreat Center located at 820 Bel Marin Keys Blvd., Novato, California 94949 (anubhutiretreatcenter.org).
