In the 1980s, four young medical school students felt the need to provide fr ee,
holistic care for the millions of impoverished people in their hometown of
Mumbai. They stepped into Mumbai’s slums with nothing more than a mat,
a few medicines, and a sacred song. From those humble beginnings grew
Bhaktivedanta Hospital-now a 300-bed, state-of-the-art hospital and research
centre serving thousands with compassion for the body, mind, and soul.
 
Magic on Mira Road takes you inside this extraordinary hospital-where
patients don’t want to be discharged, staff members don’t want to go home at
the end of their work day, and managers lead with heart. You’ll read stories of
sorrow, triumph, love, and spirituality. Along the way, you’ll also get a glimpse
into the universal spiritual principles of the bhakti-yoga tradition that inspire
it all. You will witness a radical vision of healthcare that has the power to
transform lives, and the world. You will experience at least some of the magic
that is the Bhaktivedanta Hospital.
