Dr Prakash Keshaviah
Dr Prakash Keshaviah met Swami Rama in 1969 and was initiated into the Himalayan Tradition in 1971. A few years later, he was trained by Swami Rama to be a mantra initiator in the tradition. A biomedical scientist with degrees from IIT Madras and the University of Minnesota, Dr Keshaviah gained international recognition in the field of dialysis, and after a 30-year career in the US, at the behest of Swami Rama, he returned to India to volunteer his services at the Himalayan Institute Hospital Trust. He established and manages the Dialysis Unit at the hospital, which now performs more than 25,000 dialysis treatments each year.
