AN OASIS OF KINDNESS
Kanha Shanti Vanam, the world headquarters of the Heartfulness Institute, is located near Hyderabad, India. It is home to the world's largest meditation center and a green and blue conservation hub. Inaugurated by the Honorable President of India, Ram Nath Kovind, in 2019, Kanha Shanti Vanam has become an international destination for yoga, meditation, and healthy and compassionate living. Since its establishment, Kanha has planted over one million trees. It promotes two conservatory initiatives: Green Kanha, which is committed to nurturing India's mega-biodiversity, indigenous and endangered species by adopting the latest technologies with scientific planning to create an ex-situ conservation center, replete with splendid green spaces; and Blue Kanha, which is committed to rain water harvesting, irrigation systems, and waste water treatments that support water conservation.
