About Sri Ramachandran Trust

Sri Ramachandran Trust (registered in 2006) started with the blessings of our family doctor and spiritual guru, Dr. Ramachandran Pillai, in Bangalore, to reach out to the needy and make a difference to someone's life.

Our Guru, a highly qualified doctor, was a close aide to Sri Sathya Sai Baba and serves on the board of Puttaparthi & Whitefield Sai hospitals. It was our Guru who introduced us to the glory of Sai and Sai teachings. Expanding on the maxim "Service to humanity is service to God," we have pursued Sai ideals and teachings to cater to the poorest sections of society in the remotest villages of India.

Specialist in cardiology, neurology, psychiatry, acupuncture, ayurveda & yogic sciences; serves on the board of Sai hospitals in Whitefield & Puttaparthi.
