The Other Song

Details

Along with our natural human song, another song plays within each of us. This other song drives our emotions, dreams, ambitions, work, relationships, illnesses and even our circumstances.

In this book Dr. Sankaran guides us into a world of discovery of the inner world of our experience, where we can go beyond the story, the emotions, the situation, and discern the essence of something in nature, which is often concealed within the human expressions.

By paying attention to hand gestures or doodles, unconscious paths of expression of the energy, you can perceive more and more the other song, the song that is causing stress or dis-ease. Awareness of this song's theme is the beginning of healing.

Rajan Sankaran

(1960 -     )

Dr. Rajan Sankaran was born on May 24, 1960, in Mumbai, India. Inspired and nurtured by his father, Dr. P. Sankaran, Rajan graduated Gold Medallist from the Bombay Homeopathic Medical College in 1981. He is the Assistant Professor in the department of Repertory in Smt. C.M.P. Homoeopathic Medical College, Mumbai and is attached to its hospital as the Honorary Physician.

He is the Editor of the Asian Edition of the Homoeopathic Links and is also the Vice-Chairman of the International Council for Classical Homoeopathy (Asian Region).

Throughout his twenty years of practice Dr. Rajan has worked to unearth a system for homeopathy that gives consistent results. He has given us the classification of remedy states into kingdoms and has added miasms to the already known ones.

His concept of disease as a Delusion changed the process of case taking from mere data collection to understanding the patient beyond the physical level.

In the year 2000 Dr. Rajan began work on classification of the Plant Kingdom remedies, and also introduced the concept of Vital Sensation. His findings further extended his ground breaking approach to classical homeopathy.

Dr. Rajan has taught since 1986, in UK, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Austria, Australia, Russia, Greece, USA, Germany, New Zealand, The Netherlands and Spain. He is affiliated with the CMP Homoeopathic Medical College.

Dr. Sankaran has written the following books:

• The Spirit of Homoeopathy
  which explains his concept of disease as a state.
   
• The Substance of Homoeopathy
  which explains his idea of miasms, classification of states, as well as his idea of classifying remedies and states into kingdoms.
   
• The Soul of Remedies
  in which he has given his understanding and essence of a hundred remedies.
   
• Provings
  a compilation of the provings of eleven remedies.
   
• The System of Homoeopathy
  which gives a detailed report for over 40 successful cases and explains, step by step, his system of working with cases using the concepts of delusions, miasms, and kingdoms.
   
• The Sensation
  Sankaran's homeopathic understanding of kingdoms, potency, miasms and case analysis.
   
• Sensation Refined
  continues with the work started in The Sensation and clarifies issues faced by practitioners of his method.
   

In addition to publishing his own books, Dr. Rajan also edited the works of his father, Dr. P. Sankaran, creating two volumes called Elements of Homoeopathy.

Reviews

'The Other Song' is a triumph: the healing art is revealed! Rajan Sankaran's experiences and insights to date are united within an overarching philosophy and are made explicit and intelligible. His quest for the most reliable form of homeopathy has been unremitting.

Furthermore, it is uncommon for an author in the field of homeopathic practice, to have been successful at penetrating so far into the core of the human condition, or to extend inquiry to include the spiritual domain.

Please do not be put off by the introductory chapters, by the attempt to popularize, or by recasting homeopathic terms such as miasms into generic categories — these are attempts by the author to reach a wider readership and they do not detract from the overall vision.

I will be recommending this book to my students from year two onwards, as a perfect sequel to 'The Spirit of Homeopathy'.
