Book review on Homeopathy through Harmony and Totality’ Volume 1 by Dr Mansoor Ali

‘Homeopathy through Harmony and Totality’ Volume 1 from the master teacher in Homoeopathy, Dr Ajit Kulkarni, is a unique presentation of the classical homoeopathic literature, supported by the author’s extensive clinical expertise.

Vol 1 is addressed to ‘An Exegesis of Philosophical Writings’  and ‘Mind and Above.’ Every chapter is unique and deep.

This book is dedicated by the author to the late Dr M. L. Dhawale.

This book is a very genuine effort to represent the multi-dimensional, salubrious therapy of homoeopathy.  This book is based on the material taken from the author’s writings published periodically between 1987 to 2019 in national and international journals.

A homoeopath needs both science and art and they must go perpetually parallel; then only can he grow and deliver consistent results in clinical practice. Dr Ajit Kulkarni beautifully explains how to integrate the science and the art of homoeopathy for efficient practice through this book.

The author addresses Homeopathy to get a wider view of homeopathic principles, human structure, and practical side of homoeopathy in the larger scheme of things.

By analysing the curative principle of Similia as applied in several medical disciplines, the author has persuasively positioned the beneficial worth of homoeopathy through the use of the Law of Similars in medical science. The claim made by the author that the Law of Similars acts as a unifying principle for all medical therapies is worth mentioning.

The book effectively explains the relationship between the natural laws upon which homoeopathy is founded and emphasises the significance of the indivisibility of human beings.

The author’s chart on miasms based on the energy pattern perfectly captures the essence of the idea in its genuine spirit as “Miasmatic comprehension,” which continues to be one of the most challenging concepts in homoeopathic education and practice.

Articles written by a seasoned professional counsellor, Dr Ajit Kulkarni, who practices psychology as well, cover the crucial “Study of dispositions and Personality types and Emotions” in great detail.

The reading material that is worthwhile touches the minds of laypeople, homoeopathic medical students, and serious homoeopathic professionals. It   also necessitates reference during practical work.

The goal of any excellent literature is to connect the past and present by following the ideas and perceptions of the previous homoeopathic giants into contemporary events and changes observed from their experience and practice and Ajit’s book fulfils this objective.

The chapter “Dreams, travel anywhere, without a ticket” is interesting to read. It includes dreams of famous personalities and their interpretation. Types of dreams and related rubrics are also explained.

This work fills many of the gaps that are currently present in homoeopathic practice, literature, and education and offers a deeper understanding of homeopathic techniques and philosophy
