During Swami Vivekananda’s wandering days (1888–1893), he came to Haridwar, Rishikesh, and other places in Uttarakhand. While wandering, Swamiji deeply pained to see the pitiable state of healthcare for the sadhus and general populace. Swamiji felt intensely that something must be done in this regard.
With a view to alleviating their sufferings, in 1901 Swamiji sent one of his disciples, Swami Kalyanananda (1874–1937), to Haridwar to serve the ailing sadhus and puplic.
A spirited and dedicated monk, Swami Kalyanananda started the service in right earnest and was later joined by one of his brother disciples, Swami Nischayananda (1865-1934). Both these illustrious monks did a pioneering work in the field of medical care in this part and that is how the Ramakrishna Mission Sevashrama, Kankhal, came into existence.
This unique philosophy of service – Shiva Jnane Jiva Seva, serving God in living beings in a spirit of worship-derives its inspiration from the experiences and philosophy of Sri Ramakrishna who said, ‘can God be worshipped only through an image! He can be worshipped through all living beings as well!’ Service thus becomes a form of Sadhana, spiritual practice, uplifting the person who renders service in this way. Putting into practice this philosophy of service, the Sevashrama offers its services in various parts of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh.
