We
organised and conducted a series of 4 sessions
on 'Classical homoeopathy' ... It's Principles and
Practice. We
conducted these sessions at the Kanchanbai Babubhai Abad Homoeopathic Medical
college, Chandwad, Nashik in the months of July and August 2002.

The session were highly
interactive so that the Doctors and students could have an intense
learning experience. |
It was a
very hectic and tiring schedule for us but in the end when we realised that we had
been successful in reaching to the attending doctors and students ... it gave us immense
satisfaction!!
These are
few of
the many epilogues written by the doctors and students who attended the
sessions ...

: Respected Sir and
Madam, It was an excellent experience. These 4 seminars were very helpful
from practice point of view. It has really changed my approach towards
case-taking. Now, after these fruitful sessions I am now more focused
towards my work because now I know that what I can do and how I can help my
patients. It really boosted my confidence a lot. My approach towards my
patients has really changed and since these seminars the results are really
showing up in my practice. Sir and Madam I thank you for guiding and showing
the true and real path by which I can help out my patients on their path to
cure. I feel more such seminars should be conducted so that many
more students will learn the essence of homoeopathy.

Respected Sir, first of all thanks for having taken out soo much of your
precious time for coming here. These 4 sessions which I have attended I found
them very informative. You have given a lot of knowledge in such a short
time, not in a syllabus manner but in a manner which we could understand. Every
thing was just in a flow and in sequence. Along with those case the explanation
which you gave were very nice. Best was the manner you explained § 153 ... I
wish you could explain other aphorisms in such and illustrative manner. I would
say sir that this was a Golden chance for me that came from nowhere all of a sudden
and gave me quite a lot of wealth of knowledge. I was previously unaware of
case-receiving in such a manner but your combined efforts simplified it. Sir, I
am very much keen in knowing about these seminars which you will hold in future.
Though a student in the third year I wish to ask you when or where can we get
the opportunity of learning under you. Please do let me know of you future seminars
and sessions. Thank you once again !!!

From
these sessions I learnt many things like how to receive a case from a patient,
how to be keen in observation, how to select characteristic symptom. First
of all what is characteristic symptom rather which can be called a characteristic
symptom. I learnt to which symptom more importance should be given. I learnt how
to listen to the complaints of the patient, which type of questions should be
asked to the patient, how to find out correct rubrics, a correct simillimum and
also many other things like in general our behavior with the patient, giving as
much time as possible to narrate his/her complaints, how to make our minds
unprejudiced and listening to patients making our minds silent without any
confusion, how to individualise the patient. So basically I came to understand
the difference between case-taking and case-receiving. I would like to
thank you heartily for giving us so much knowledge.

Frankly speaking thanks to your seminar it was the first time I must have
understood the § 84 and § 153.
All this time it was superficial understanding. It is now that I realise the
depth of each aphorism. I had never dealt with this subject with so much of
detail but now I feel I should. Secondly your explanation regarding the peculiar
symptom and what should be taken as a symptom was indeed striking to me. Case
receiving as you say, has been clear to me. The best part was the 10 minute
meditation during which all the thoughts are silenced and the lightness felt was
great. As you are silent at heart you can absorb everything that is to be
... this is the most important thing that I have learnt. I learnt to be
silent while taking any new task. I have realised the importance of the
repertory as well as how you need to balance and unprejudiced which is not as
easy as said. Realizing my mistakes committed unknowingly in spite of knowing
things well. Thanks to your seminar I have now realised that I needed to go
in the depth of this subject from the start. Thank-you !!

Sir,
first of all I found all the 4 sessions very interesting and knowledgeable.
I came to know the essentials which we would like to follow while case
receiving. It is not just to take a case but to receive it with great patience
by listening carefully to each and every sentence of the patient without any
former prejudice. Your session on § 153 taught me many tings about what exactly
is the symptom? The case shown were very interesting too. I also came to know
that first collection of symptoms is not her totality but symptoms which really
strike the mind and is peculiar during case receiving are most important. I
think I have learned about case receiving and above all this seminar has
inspired me to become a good classical homoeopath.

Referring to these sessions of seminars ... these were simply knowledgeable
about classical homoeopathy. Through all these sessions I came to
understand the true essence of a true homoeopath. The image of homeopathy
that we have before our first year in college is simply none; in the first year
we build a skeleton; upon which in the second year some tissues and functioning
organs are grafted; later in the third year it almost became complete; while in
the fourth year some finishing touches are added. Through your seminars it
seems to me that you have poured "Chaitanya" ( life !!) into it.
Previously the concept of homoeopathy was seeming a simple joke but still we
kept unto it; friends would laugh at the 50 mil. scale potency ... but now
with you efforts it all seems to be worthwhile and true.

First
and foremost thing which I learnt from these sessions especially in the
first session is how Organon the text should be read and understood ... the
method of understanding principles as laid down in the organon. Secondly, how
to receive case form the patient without being biased or any thoughts about
which medicine to prescribe. Earlier after a brief narration of symptoms by
the patient I would immediately think about which remedy I should give to the
patient. Now, I have stopped doing it and I experience silence during the
process of case receiving. The right approach towards the selection of simillimum
has been shown through these sessions, where in students like me who do not
understand as to which method i.e. whether mentals/ particulars/ generals/ or
pathology should be given importance to are benefited. The correct path is
shown as to how to proceed further in case taking and selection of the correct
single similar medicine.

We
as students were really in the need of the 'art of receiving the case' and from
these sessions we beautifully learned it by experiencing how the patient
says and by keeping silence of ourselves how we can receive a case. Although
we might have read § 84 we never tried to really understand it but now I feel
like at least I will be able to receive a case in the proper manner. Also, your
next sessions about § 153 were really excellent. I really feel I have learnt
many things out of these sessions and I am thankful to you for arranging these
seminars and for sharing your knowledge with us. I feel the college should
conduct more such seminars of classical homoeopathy in the benefit that we learn
the basic principles of organon upon which the whole of homoeopathy is bases and
help us in being true to the healing art.

In
the beginning I would like to mention that this is the best seminar that I
have ever attended ... thanks to you for your guidance. Before attending
these seminars I had very superficial knowledge rather you can say
misconceptions about how to take case. Frankly speaking I would feel, ' If you
ask leading questions to your patients it doesn't matter much and when I will
become a homoeopath, who will oppose me in my clinic !! but now I have come to
know the importance of it. I have come to know the basic difference between
'case-taking' and 'case receiving'. I will definitely try to follow the
principles of homoeopathy and for your valuable guidance once again I thank you!!
