The Spirit of Homoeopathy

The Spirit of Homoeopathy by Sankaran, Rajan. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9788190081009.

To bring all readers (homeopaths as well as non-homeopaths) into one starting point, Dr.Sankaran uses part I of this book to offer a quick introduction about homeopathy and its basic principles, and clarifies that homeopathy is a tool that empowers us to connect with the healer residing within each one of us and it also enables us to treat each person as a whole, complete individual whose body, mind and spirit work together in unison, instead of each working alone and fighting with the other for dominance. Quite likely, Hahnemann had tuned into the ancient healing modalities for creating the foundational philosophy of homeopathy, ‘like cures like’ and for considering mind and body as a psycho-somatic unity driven by the vital force. As a preliminary hint of what would eventually become a common concept for homeopaths across the world, Dr. Sankaran coins the concepts of kingdoms as he describes the grouping of homeopathic remedies and their source: animal kingdom, plant kingdom, mineral kingdom, disease products nosodes, healthy tissues / secretions sarcodes, and imponderables. At this point of writing this book, Dr. Sankaran had just completed a decade of practice and it is easy to imagine that by now he would have spent countless hours puzzling over the art and science of homeopathy. To study Dr Rajan Sankaran’s work of a lifetime calls us out to devote a significant portion of our time to understanding what he has been teaching for the past forty years. For staying grounded in the fundamentals of homeopathy and seeing how it all holds true in the present day context, our most contemporary route is studying Dr Sankaran’s work from A, all the way through Z. There are no shortcuts in this journey.
