Our Foundation
Getting started with ManoRaksha is not about signing up for a service. It is about entering a thoughtfully designed foundation of care, where every step is guided by evidence, ethics, and human understanding. Our onboarding process is structured, intentional, and deeply personal, ensuring that individuals, families, and institutions are supported from the very first interaction.
ManoRaksha did not begin as another counselling centre. It was never imagined as a mental health spa, a quick-fix healing space, or a place limited to treating disorders. ManoRaksha began as a response to a deeper reality: that mental health is not only about illness, but about strength, growth, dignity, and survival.
At its core, ManoRaksha is a living ecosystem of holistic wellbeing. Its foundation rests on evidence-based research, rigorous training, and years of work in places where theory alone cannot survive. It was not built in boardrooms, conference halls, or inherited through legacy networks. ManoRaksha was built on the ground.
Its roots lie in the land of ravines, a harsh and beautiful geography shaped by resilience, patriotism, and endurance. From this soil emerged a philosophy that would later define ManoRaksha: service before self, growth before comfort, outcomes before optics.
High in the Himalayan valleys, Tibetan monks have practiced a disciplined inner science for centuries, long before mental health became a modern concern. What was once considered purely spiritual is now scientifically understood. Through the pioneering work of Behaviour Scientist Dr. Rajawat, it has shown that there are certain methods that can measurably reshape the brain, strengthening emotional regulation, resilience, and wellbeing, offering insights that are no longer limited to monks, but relevant and accessible to all.
Before ManoRaksha became a mission, its foundation was shaped across extremes. From the Tibetan Himalayas in the north to the Indian Ocean in the south, from the deep forests of the Satpuras among ancient tribes to the deserts inhabited by nomads of Thar, ManoRaksha’s philosophy was formed through immersion, not observation. Cultures were lived, languages were learned, traditions were respected, and human behavior was understood from within.
Spiritual inquiry was never separated from scientific discipline. Paths of Sufi mysticism and Bhakti were explored alongside churches in Kolkata and the masajid of Bhopal. Ancient texts were studied with the same seriousness as modern psychology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and behavioral science. For ManoRaksha, tradition and technology were never opposites. They were complementary forces serving a single purpose: understanding and strengthening the human mind.
The work began from expertise of large-scale public mental health initiatives, including the UNFPA-linked Umang Adolescents Programme of the Government of Madhya Pradesh. In India, mental health remained inaccessible to the needy. Many were mistreated, mislabeled, or discriminated against simply because support was unaffordable or unavailable. Many were misled into wrong intervention and pathological care by psychology quacks, motivational speakers or self proclaimed life coaches. This was the place where our certified, accredited professionals and trained teams intervened.
After years of sustained, measurable impact in India, ManoRaksha Global Operations for Wellness was established. It brought together Himalayan Tibetan traditions of longevity, Indo-Aryan survival psychology, and cutting-edge therapeutic and technological interventions. There were no borrowed titles, no motivational theatrics, no cosmetic coaching or social media marketing. The team remained grounded, accredited by government bodies, and international institutions, delivering interventions rooted strictly in evidence-based research.
