BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA , MAY 21, 2024 (Press Release, Motwani Jadeja Foundation): The Motwani-Jadeja Foundation proudly supports the Hindu Spiritual Care Institute (HSCI) and the Graduate Theological Union (GTU) in Berkeley, CA. This collaboration marks a significant milestone by introducing the first seven interreligious Hindu Chaplains, who will be ambassadors of spiritual wellness and community service. These chaplains bring the richness of the Hindu tradition to the forefront, addressing the urgent need for spiritual care in today’s society. In response to the rising levels of loneliness and declining mental health, they aim to enhance the quality of life for all communities through their dedicated service. The Motwani-Jadeja Foundation’s support will enable the development of essential community service solutions and provide a robust platform for training and universal community service grounded in Hindu tradition and wisdom.

Asha Jadeja Motwani, founder of the Motwani-Jadeja Foundation, stated, “We are thrilled to support this pioneering initiative. By integrating Hindu spiritual care into various sectors, we can address critical issues of mental health and well-being in our communities. These chaplains embody the Hindu tradition’s compassionate and inclusive spirit, and we believe their work will profoundly impact society.” The GTU is the most comprehensive center for graduate study of religion in North America. It emphasizes interreligious and interdisciplinary perspectives, engaging with the world’s great religions and wisdom traditions in contemporary contexts. The Hindu Spiritual Care Institute (HSCI) is the first-of-its-kind service-learning institution designed for the global Hindu diaspora. HSCI is a California non-profit 501(c)(3) that provides a strong platform for training and universal community service founded on Hindu tradition and wisdom.
