Arogya Ratna award to Dr Madhusudan KR

Dr Madhusudan KR, renowned holistic healer of the International Reiki Foundation in the city was bestowed the 'Arogya Ratna' award at the recently concluded two days international workshop on alternative medicine.


The prestigious award was presented to Dr Madhusudan KR at the second World Congress on Traditional Medicine conducted by the Indian Holistic Medical Research Foundation by the Vice Chancellor of the Kazakhstan university.

The international conference was attended by holistic experts from across the world and the award was in recognition of attending the two days special workshop. It was organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Ayush, Government of India.

The Indian Holistic Medical Research Foundation has been registered with the Government of Telangana in Hyderabad and accredited by the International Accreditation Organization under the Ministry of MSME, Government of India and certified by the British Council of Complementary Therapies.

Recalling his participation in the two days workshop, Dr Madhusudan KR informed: Many subjects were discussed like advanced acupuncture, advanced acupressure and various other holistic treatments at length. Many international experts also presented their papers, who had from Canada, Switzerland etc and in a way, it was really an eyeopener.


Talking about the overall deliberations and the positive impact they made upon the participants, Dr Madhusudan KR said: The consensus was that a representation is made to the Government that more and more efforts are made to popularize the holistic form of medications. And as you know, there are no adverse effects and most of these practices, a person can learn by himself. You can also avoid 80 per cent of the naturally causing ailments without going to the doctors. As they always keep saying, prevention is better than cure.

He also hoped that by adopting alternative forms of holistic medications people can save a huge amount on their annual medical bills and hence the role of the government is quite vital in this regard.

Regarding the positive response of the government to the workshop, Dr Madhusudan KR was optimistic enough to claim that Dr K Sudhakar, Minister of Health and Family Welfare and Medical Education not only participated in the conference but also delivered a keynote address. He was candid enough to declare that his government would do whatever was necessary in giving a boost to alternative forms of healing with traditional methods. Such words from a medical graduate himself were quite encouraging. He also assured of doing whatever is beneficial for the people at large.

He also signed off by proclaiming that holistic medicinal practitioners have a huge role to play in the near future.

When Punjab Chief Minister's Son Was Paraded On Underwear

Year, 1959, Place Amritsar. Some Indian Army Officers & their wives went to the Railway Station to see off one of their colleagues. Some goons made lewd remarks against the women & tried to molest them. The Army Officers chased the goons who took shelter in a nearby Cinema Theatre. The matter was reported to Commanding Officer Col Jyothi Mohan Sen. On learning about the incident, the Col ordered the Cinema Hall to be surrounded by troops. All the goons were dragged out, the leader of the goons was so heady and drunk with power; he was none other than the son of Chief Minister of Punjab, Pratap Singh Kairon, a close associate of the then PM, Jawahar Lal Nehru. All the goons were stripped to their underwear, paraded in the streets of Amritsar & later interned in the Cantonment. The next day, the Chief Minister became furious & tried to release his son from Indian Army's incarceration. Do you know what happened? His vehicle was not allowed to go into the Cantonment a...

Basavanna: Equality, Humanity and Human Rights

Bengaluru: Akshaya Trutiya is the birthday of Lord Basaveshwara or Basavanna, the 12th-century revolutionary poet and religious reformer who rebelled against all blind beliefs, practices and rituals of Hinduism. It also goes to his credit of bringing God to one’s palms while simultaneously and vehemently opposing the tradition of visiting temples and places of pilgrimages in search of the almighty. Interestingly, unfortunately, or sadly what his followers or disciples have been doing all along would be another separate topic for discussion and better to forget for the time being. A Hindu Protestant: Dr Godwin Shiri, former Director of Christian Institute For The Study Of Religion And Society (CISRS), Bengaluru, during an informal interaction, opined-“Basavanna can be aptly described as a Hindu Protestant as he was in the forefront of opposing blind beliefs”. Influenced by Buddha: Mallikarjun G Kelagade, former Director of the Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) kee...

Bengaluru: Arya Durga Kirani Stores, with Rukmini and Saraswati outlets, are household names for all those residing in and natives of Dharwad. It was a humble and austere beginning, dating back a few decades, thanks to hard work, sincerity, and trustworthy behaviour with customers, the business flourished and grew in leaps and bounds in an unimaginable proportion. Started working at the age of eight years! The owner, late Gajanan Vitthal Shetti, was primarily from Ankola in the North Canara (Karwar) district. Ankola, a coastal town, is renowned for its Salt Satyagraha during the freedom struggle movement. The financial condition of Shetti's family was too critical, making it too difficult to meet even the basic demands of day-to-day life. He began working at a ration shop while he was only eight years of age and continued working until he became 15 years old.
