Rajan Sankaran, M.D. (Hom) aka, Doctor of Medicine in Homoeopathy, is a world-level homeopathic physician, researcher, teacher, lecturer and author whose career has spanned over 40 years. He is internationally known for his ground-breaking concepts, especially his:
- understanding of ‘disease as a delusion’
- use of mind symptoms and dreams
- classification of disease (remedy) states into plant, mineral and animal kingdoms, and the seven levels of experience
- addition of newer miasms to existing miasms
His insights have brought much clarity into understanding diseased states, and paved the way to a most advanced concept referred to as: eliciting the vital sensation in the patient – the common thread of experience which runs through the patient at all levels.
Miasms: underlying chronic genetically-rooted
diseases and pre-dispositions that afflict humanity
Sankaran has championed an approach called ‘The Synergy of Homoeopathy’, which promotes the integration of historical, classical and traditional methods with the latest advances.
This approach has resulted in greater diagnostic predictability and more successful results than ever before.
Since 1986, Dr.Sankaran has taught not only in his homeland of India, but all over the world, including Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, England, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland and the U.S.
His students include well known teachers of Homeopathy and heads of homeopathic schools and colleges, where his books are included in the course syllabi and referenced as recommended reading materials.
He has the uncanny ability to convey complex principles and methodologies in a simple and very understandable way.
He has co-founded a Research & Teaching institution, and developed an Innovative Software Program for Case-Analysis.
He has written a number of highly-respected books including:
- The Spirit of Homeopathy
- The Substance of Homeopathy
- The Soul of Remedies
- Provings
- The System of Homeopathy
- An Insight into Plants
Additionally, his books: ‘The Sensation in Homeopathy’ & ‘Schema’ are considered breakthrough literary works.
Many of his publications are considered modern texts in Homeopathy and have been translated in several languages.
Dr. Sankaran’s profile includes numerous other achievements and international awards presented to him in Greece, Switzerland and Argentina, as well as the Dr. Hahnemann Lifetime Achievement Award conferred upon him in January 2020 (by the Maharashtra Council of Homeopathy, a legislative body within the Government of India).
The Soul of Remedies
In this book, Dr. Sankaran has attempted to convey the innermost feeling or basic delusion of the remedies while connecting the situation, source, miasm and kingdom. He has also cited some rubrics and physical symptoms which he has observed repeatedly in his practice and often used to confirm the remedy prescribed.
Dr Sankaran believes that one can solve huge number of cases in practice, if he masters these hundred remedies as they come again and again in practice. He suggests the homoeopaths to go through the book and benefit from it.
In this video, Dr. Sankaran shares his idea of studying the remedies in our materia medica by understanding their subjective experience and how each of them perceives the reality which he has given in his book ‘The Soul of Remedies’.
