The Children and Residents of St Francis, S.D., on the Native American Rosebud Reservation, desperately need your support, in the form of warm winter clothing to
help ward off the harsh bitter cold of the forth coming winter conditions.
The temperatures fall well below zero and their lack of comfortable warm clothing
makes for extremely unpleasant living conditions. 

No Children anywhere in this world, day and age, should be placed in a position
 of life threatening circumstances, through no doing of their own! 
PLEASE HELP BY CONTRIBUTING WHAT YOU POSSIBLY CAN –all donations are received
up until the 12th of October to OM Center and they will be immediately transported to Chief Reginald Left Hand Bull, of the St. Francis community, for direct distribution to his people in need.
With much Gratitude and Thanks from Chief Left Hand Bull

Ayurveda is a system of healing that has its roots in ancient India, Tibet and Nepal
and is the oldest intact healing system in existence on our planet. Ayuh means life and veda means wisdom; Ayurveda literally means the wisdom of life. According to Ayurveda every individual is a microcosm of the cosmos; the outer life and the inner life are reflections of one another.
We experience health and joy when we understand and align with both our individual constitutions as well as the natural rhythms of nature. Ayurveda gives us a framework through which to understand the needs of the body and psyche in the form of the Subtle Elements (earth, water, fire, air, space) and the Doshas(vata, pitta, kapha). 
Dr. Kamini Kaushal
Dr. Kaushal is from Jaipur, India, is an Ayurvedic Physician and associate of Dr. Rajesh,
