                        Wednesday, May 31, 2023

  Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Mr. Speaker, I wish to recognize the Humanity 
Institute, in Locust Grove, Georgia, which is creating a space for all 
who seek natural healing, personal enlightenment, and to become better 
versions of themselves. Conceived by founder Harshad Patel, the 
institute will be a center for wellness and charity. Underpinning the 
Humanity Institute's approach is a commitment to peace and unity for 
individuals of all cultures, ethnicities, and religions.
  The Humanity Institute plans to utilize Ayurveda. Originating in 
India over 3,000 years ago, Ayurveda is a system of healthcare which 
highlights the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit as well 
as the importance of reducing stress. The institute will have a team of 
certified Ayurvedic medicine practitioners, specialists, and coaches 
working together to achieve positive health outcomes. Visitors will be 
able to meet a specialist and receive an individualized treatment plan. 
Therapies will include yoga, meditation, acupuncture, and herbal 
medicines. The campus, which is currently under development, will also 
offer an Addiction Recovery Center to aid those struggling with 
substance abuse. Together, these approaches are intended to address 
physical and mental health in conjunction.
  The institute will provide visitors with a welcoming, educational 
environment where they can focus on eliminating stress and finding 
inner peace with the support of knowledgeable staff members. Overall, 
the Humanity Institute aims to create a community where visitors can 
both find support and help support others.
  In addition to supporting the physical and mental health of visitors, 
the Humanity Institute is committed to assisting those in need. The 
proceeds from the institute will support charitable activities within 
the United States and throughout the world. These efforts include 
assisting victims of human trafficking, combating poverty, reducing 
hunger, conserving our natural environment, and promoting harmonious 
interpersonal and lifestyle management.
  Mr. Speaker, founder Harshad Patel has an ambitious yet essential 
goal. The Humanity Institute is working diligently to develop its 
campus and to create a destination for wellness and peace. I want to 
commend the Humanity Institute for its efforts.
