Dr Rajan Sankaran is an internationally renowned Homeopath. He is the Head of ‘The Other Song’ in Mumbai & Chief Mentor of ‘Prana ‘in Pune. He has been a teacher for four decades and has contributed to building sound and solid Homoeopathic clinicians. His students are some of the best international teachers. He is an inspiration to many in the field of Homoeopathy. His latest idea to inspire the youngest ‘Gen Zee students is the ‘Vital Spark’.
Dr Sankaran is known for his innovative and creative thinking in understanding Materia Medica, Repertory, and Philosophy. Through his efforts, he has created and published twenty-five books for lovers of Homoeopathy.
Dr Sankaran’s latest innovation, ‘ The Sensation Method,’ takes homoeopathy beyond the conventional approach to symptoms. His approach travels into the new realms of core patterns and sensations experienced by patients. This method requires a mature and patient approach to case receiving and exploration, which requires training on all fronts for a clinician.
We at JIMS were fortunate to spend time with Dr Sankaran, the Master himself. He was keen on understanding our work and took a personal interest in clinical and educational methods adopted at JIMS. He was kind enough to share his clinical experience with our staff and students and taught them the ‘Five Finger’ method in his class.
JIMS is excited about the numerous points of collaboration we found with Dr. Sankaran and his team. These collaborations are a testament to our shared commitment to providing excellent Homoeopathic care to patients and quality education to our students, filling us with hope and optimism for the future of Homeopathy.
We are eagerly anticipating the exploration of new paradigms in Homoeopathy, inspired by Dr. Sankaran’s innovative methods and his collaboration with JIMS. This anticipation fuels our eagerness for change and growth in the field of Homeopathy.
