Reader Reviews
This review is from: Awakening Nature's Healing Intelligence (Paperback)
Eureka! I have found it! This is one health book that is OFF THE SCALE GREAT! There are a lot of health books available these days that I find interesting. But this is one of those very rare books that seems to have been written by Nature itself. (How appropriate the title: Awakening Nature's Healing Intelligence). It is, as if, modern scripture. Like the petals of a flower which blossom in perfect sequence, so does the profound knowledge contained in this book unfold. Dr. Hari Sharma, M.D. seems to be eminently qualified to write such a book. He is chairman emeritus at Ohio State University's College of Medicine and Public Health. A native of India, the origin of Ayurveda-- the world's oldest comprehensive system of natural medicine-- he has studied with the great sage Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who, along with India's foremost Ayurvedic physicians, has refined and expanded Ayurveda into a very potent medical system: the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health. Sharma's book describes this system and its underlying theory, as well as the impressive scientific research on its various modalities. Sharma dives deep into the field of knowledge. Because he goes all the way, there are some passages through which I had to go slowly. But the effort was extremely gratifying. Otherwise, the pace was perfect--the petals of knowledge just unfolding sentence after amazing sentence. He seamlessly weaves in and out of the most advanced theories of quantum physics, empirical scientific findings and ancient Vedic wisdom. Because he goes so deeply into the field of pure knowledge, Sharma makes it apparent what is achingly missing from the current Western medical approach. The many shortcomings of modern health care must stem from the lack of total knowledge of the ultimate reality of life. And that total knowledge is lucidly, and I would say historically, presented in this book. During most of the reading of this book I had the strong desire for all medical doctors and health practitioners to be required to read it! Dr. Sharma systematically takes the reader from the field of fragmented, partial knowledge that has plagued mankind for thousands of years, to enlightenment-- the pinnacle of human evolution. He shows that this is the state of real health and well-being. All standards of health and approaches to it must be based on this complete view of human potentialities. So this book is not just for health care providers. I feel that anyone who is a seeker of wisdom will revel in this book. If you really want to have the inside track on a most profound approach to health, you will love this book. While not a 'how-to' book, it offers a list of expert resources one can seek out to pursue this path. And if you are even a bit as inspired as I am after reading this book, you will want to do just that.
