Situated among the pleasant hills of Lonavla (India), the Manashakti Research Centre for peace of mind is a well-known entity.

For the last 40 years, the centre has attended to the needs of thousands of peace-seekers. People have found solace through the numerous books, computerised tests, study courses and various experiments - all directed towards a common goal - Peace of Mind.

The Manashakti research centre is one of the activities of the Manashakti REST New Way Trust (REST= Research, Education & Sanatorium Trust), a social trust registered with the Charity Commissioner, Pune.
