.:: Reiki Vidya Niketan ::.

Reiki Vidya Niketan was founded on 8th Jun 1998, by a group of Three Reiki Masters comprising viz. Dr Subhash Gokhale, Mr Dinesh Thakkar and Mr Ajit Telang (known popularly as Guruji or Ajit Sir). All these Reiki Masters were trained by Dr Shyamal Durve, one of the first Reiki Masters in India, under the banner of Reiki India Research Centre. Mr Thakkar and Ajit Sir became Masters in January 1997 while Dr Gokhale became Master in 1998.

The idea behind creation of Reiki Vidya Niketan by these Masters was to create a novel institution which would create a right platform for correct teaching of Reiki Usui System of Natural Healing without any commercial contamination. The institution though founded by these Masters was immediately handed over to a group of Reiki sadhaks. The unwritten constitution of the institute was based on a philosophy that the institution will be owned and managed solely by the sadhaks and the Masters would mainly work as servants to this institution.

The institution was finally converted into a Trust under the name of Shri Swami Samarth Sewak Pratisthan and registered as Charitable Trust in the state of Maharashtra, since 2001 under registration No. E19110. The trust is registered with Income Tax under section 12A and the donations to the trust are exempted under section 80G. The activities of the trust are handled by a board of Trustees comprising of 9 members who are all Reiki sadhaks of this institution. They are as follows: (1) Mr Madan Modak (2) Mr Jatin Dalal (3) Mr Amit Sane (4) Mr Abhijit Nandurabrakar (5) Mrs Daxaben Patel (6) Mrs Bhuvaneshwari Ravi (7) Mr Sukhlal Patel (8) Mrs Monali Rakshe and (9) Mr Sachin Gadre. All these trustees are professionally qualified in various fields and have been experiencing the grace of the divine. The office of the Trust is located at Devrukh near Ratnagiri in Maharashtra State in India.
