Memories of Maharaj -A Multifaceted Personality
Maharaj and his sons, who were all well trained in Ayurveda,
Music and other Indian sciences, were always eager to help me
learn more about Ayurveda and other Indian Cultural treasures.
Maharaj, although outwardly a common looking man in typical
Maharashtrian dress of white dhoti, black cap and bluish coat,
was a spiritual giant. He devoted his life and all his energy to
advance the cause of Indian Philosophy, Ayurveda, Classical
Music and other Indian Arts. We used to frequently meet, in
Bombay or in Pune and discuss about Ayurveda. We always
found Maharaj a cheerful person with energetic smile on his
face. His cheerfulness was infectious, which would uplift
anyone who came into his company. Maharaj was fond of
cooking and took great pleasure in cooking various tasty
dishes himself for the guests and visitors. We secretly looked
forward to the end of our medical sessions at Wagholi, expecting a very special and tasty meal served with
love by Maharaj himself. Sometimes, I used to go to Wagholi alone with Maharaj to have undisturbed and
important discussions about Ayurveda. Maharaj, himself a genius at Nadi?Pariksha, was a passionate
advocate of Ayurveda. He also took me many times to his Master's? Mali Maharaj Samadhi shrine in Pune. I
always will have fond and affectionate memories of Shri Sardeshmukh Maharaj. Although Maharaj took
samadhi in 1996, I always feel Maharaj is present nearby and blessing us spiritually, especially whenever I
visit the Vishvashanti Dham at Wagholi. True to the meaning of these words, I am sure it will be the center for
Universal Peace in future. Dr. Arvind Kulkarni, M.D.

Vasantika Vamana Camp
Along with the change of season, the status of the level of the doshas
also changes. The increased doshas can saturate in the body and
further cause illness. Ayurveda advocates the use of Panchakarma
procedures to systematically expel these doshas thus helping to
maintain the balance between the three doshas. During summer, there
is an elevation in the levels of the Kapha dosha. An upward expelation
(emesis) of this dosha is advised. With the help of the medicinal
decoctions, milk, saline water etc. the elevated kapha dosha is emitted
from the body.
Ayurved Hospital and Research Centre conducted by Bharatiya
Sanskriti Darshan Trust, Anuj Nagar Wagholi, Pune had organised a "Summer Emesis Camp" between
the 20/2/2003 ? 20/4/2003. Patients suffering from Chronic Cold, Cough, Asthama, Acidity, Skin
Diseases etc. were advised this treatment. Besides, the healthy too
followed the procedure, for maintenance of health. Some patients
registered in the Cancer Research Project conducted by the same trust
were also advised this procedure. Under the able guidance of Dr. S. P.
Sardeshmukh, Director of the Ayurved Hospital and College, patients
found good relief from their complaints. Following the Vamana (Emesis)
procedure, the patients were advised a diet regime which would help to
maintain the benefits. Patients found good relief from skin ailments,
improved appetite, better digestion, relief from symptoms of acidity, etc.
Students of the Ayurved College, Wagholi also participated in this
venture.

KayaChikitsa subject in 3r, year B.A.M.S.
Importance of Basti Chikitsa in Vata DoshaPanchakarma treatment suggests Basti procedure as the prime and most beneficial procedure for the
vata dosha.
Although, all the three doshas are responsible for the maintenance of the body, the vata plays a prime
roll. Among the five Panchakarma procedures described, the basti is on precedence. Ayurved thus
describes basti as 50% of the treatment procedure. Many difficult and chronic ailments are relieved by
the basti treatment. The word basti means the bladder in Sanskrit. In ancient times the bladder of
sheep, goats were used for the treatment. Medicines filled in the bladder or basti are inserted in the
rectum through the anus.
Basti procedure is used for treatment and also to maintain the body equilibrium. The body feels lighter,
relieves constipation, flatulence. Co?ordination between various systems of the body is enhanced.
Thus basti is a procedure useful to the patients as well as the healthy.
