Soul of Remedies
By Rajan Sankaran
 236 pages

Reviewed by Melaine Grimes

This is a book that many have been waiting for. In a one- to three- pages synopsis, 100 remedies are described in their situation materia medica. Much of this information has already been presented in Rajan's previous books, but in a way hard to reference. These remedy pictures are the ones we are familiar with; however the collection of all the data in one facilitates the use. The "innermost" feeling of each of the remedies is pictured here. The single thread that runs through each remedy, as Rajan calls it, is "the connecting link." The book is written for those who have read his previous works, and should be considered a companion volume to his previous works.

Rajan himself explains in the introduction his hesitancy to write this book, fearing that some would become fixed on remedy pictures and forget the wide scope of the remedy. This is always a concern, as human frailty and memory lapses cause us to look for the shortcut.

As in all that is of value, this book will benefit those most who use it deeply.

Dr. Rajan SANKARAN
Contemporary author
Country: India.

This biographical information is taken from a brochure advertising a seminar with Dr. Sankaran:

It feels purely a formality to introduce Rajan Sankaran-but in case there is some one out there who has yet to hear of him ...

Rajan is regarded as one of the world's greatest living homeopaths, a brilliant and charismatic teacher. He is recognized throughout the world as one of the most important influences on current homeopathic thought and practice and has had a profound impact on the understanding of disease and homeopathic treatment. For over eighteen years he has lectured throughout the world, proving to be fundamental in shaping the foundations of homeopathy today, not only in the States, but throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand and in the last few years, Russia. Rajan was born into and grew up with homeopathy as the son of the renowned Dr. P. Sankaran, and as one of the last few students of the great Phatak. His remarkable and thought-provoking books, The Spirit of Homeopathy, The Substance of Homeopathy and The Soul of Remedies are amongst the great homeopathic classics of our time. His newest book, The System of Homeopathy, will be published by the the end of the year.

There is no doubt that Rajan is one of the great homeopathic geniuses of our time. His wisdom, his devotion to homeopathy, his tireless inquiry into truth, his humility and great sense of humor make him unique as a teacher. This will be an unequaled and profound learning experience, and the only workshop anywhere in the world where there is offered an opportunity to study exclusively with Rajan for such a prolonged time.

This seminar is a unique opportunity to share in the remarkable development of his ideas and to witness a true creative genius at work. Each successive year he has taught here has brought a new depth, a more profound evolution of his vision. We encourage you to take this opportunity to be part of the unfolding of this process
