WPA section on ‘Religion/Spirituality & Psychiatry’ as well as International Congress in Spirituality & Psychiatry 4th Global Meeting in Spirituality & Mental Health 1st-4th December, 2019, Jerusalem, Israel and India Empire would focus on Mental Health & Well Being Issues specially in the context of Religion and Spirituality in each publication of India Empire 2019 on various aspects by eminent personalities from the field across the world.

Mind is the fulcrum on which life hinges as we experience the world through our minds. Thoughts, emotions, actions and relationships of human beings with themselves, others in society and the environment defines not only the health, wealth, happiness and peace in the world but the very existence of the world itself. While there have been strides in development on economic front; human potential and social justice should not get neglected.
