LOS ANGELES, Calif.
â In the midst of a global health crisis, the Maharishi International University opened the Doshi Center for Integrative Medicine here on the morning of May 14.
A $5 million donation in the form of a two-story building, in a prime locale on Sepulveda Boulevard in Los Angeles, by Indian American philanthropists Navin and Pratima Doshi had made this possible, announced Dr. John Hagelin, president of MIU, at an online event and a small in-person audience.
Well known in Southern California for their support of research and study of India and its traditions, for the Doshis, this marks one more in a series of donations to academic institutions. While the coupleâs endowments support chairs on Indic systems and history at public and private schools like UCLA and Loyola Marymount, the new Doshi Center is envisaged to run as a clinic for treatment, training, and research on Ayurveda.
A global pandemic wreaked havoc across the globe for most of last year. Even so, the
S&P/TSX Composite Index managed to the finish the year positive. Now that we’re over a month into 2021, I’d say it’s fair to be optimistic that this year is going to be better than the last one.
If the Canadian stock market could turn a gain amid a pandemic, imagine what it could do in 2021, as the country begins to reopen. As vaccines continue to be distributed, Canadians could very well be back to living a relatively normal life, all things considered, by fall.
