Vishvashanti Vrittant VOL. : 108 JANUARY 2011 Vishvashanti Vrittant First of all wish to our readers A Happy, Healthy & prosperous New Year! Bharatiya Sanskriti Darshan Trust was founded by Parampoojya Prabhakar Keshav Sardeshmukh Maharaj in the year 1954 with the aim of propagating overseas, valuable ancient sciences, like the Vedas, Shastras & Puranas. Maharaj established the ‘Ayurved Hospital & Research Centre’ in 1985. This hospital conducts various projects like the Cancer Research Project, Fracture Project, AIDS Project, Panchakarma Project to name a few. Maharaj strongly felt the need for research in the field of cancer with the help of Ayurvedic Medicines. In 1994, Revered Shri Sardeshmukh Maharaj established the Cancer Research Project, with the help of Dr. Arvind Kulkarni, who was the head of Radio-oncology, at Bombay Hospital and Dr. S. P. Sardeshmukh, a famous Ayurvedic physician. Dr. Shirish Kumthekar, well known onco- surgeon at Solapur, is also the co-ordinator of the project. This project is conducted at three centers Pune, Mumbai and Solapur. Now new branch is also started at Kolhapur. Recently “Integrated Cancer Treatment & Research Centre” is also started at rural area of Wagholi, where cancer patients are benefited with Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy, Oncosurgery, Oncopathology along with Ayurvedic treatment. The patients are treated by experts of respective field in affordable charges at this centre. Ayurved Mahavidyalaya, Wagholi & Atharva Ayurved Pharmaceuticals are also ventures of the Trust. The Trust is following the aims & objectives of Sardeshmukh Maharaj. The tree of Maharaj’s dreams is flourishing day by day, still got a long way to go. Bowing down to the humble personality of Parampoojya Sardeshmukh Maharaj, we put forth this issue of January, 2011. Bharatiya Sanskriti Darshan Trust 1 Vishvashanti Vrittant - January 2011 Inauguration of Cobalt Therapy Radiation Treatment Centre of INTEGRATED CANCER TREATMENT and RESEARCH CENTRE Wagholi, Nagar Road, Pune A new Cobalt Therapy Radiation Treatment Centre is inaugurated at Integrated Cancer Treatment & Research Centre Building at Wagholi, Pune. Cancer Research Project to evaluate the benefits of Ayurvedic Treatment was inspired and directed by Parampoojya Shri Prabhakar Keshav Sardeshmukh Maharaj in 1994.

Sardeshmukh with the coordination of Dr. Arvind Kulkarni, the well-known Radiation Oncologist from Mumbai & Dr. Shirish Kumthekar, well-known Oncosurgeon in Solapur. The project has helped more than 4000 cancer patients over the last many years. Research reports are being published annually. The research has documented that modern cancer treatments produce better results when supported by Ayurved, Yoga and other complimentary medical systems. Ayurvedic treatment is effective to improve immunity & quality of life of cancer patient & to minimize side-effects of Radiotherapy & Chemotherapy. The trust was fortunate to receive generous grants from Government of India - Departments of Atomic Energy and AYUSH (Traditional Ayurved Unani Siddha and Homeopathic Medical Sciences) recently to develop a modern Cancer centre to combine with Ayurved and other complimentary medical systems. Cobalt Radiotherapy Centre was inaugurated by Mrs. Shreelekha and Dr. Arvind Kulkarni on Tuesday, 28th December 2010 which offers Radiotherapy & Chemotherapy, combined with supportive Ayurvedic Treatments.

His vision and dedication has facilitated Ruby Hall Clinic’s multifold growth. His dynamic leadership, unstinted devotion and commitment has placed Ruby Hall Clinic as one of the premier healthcare institutions in the country and the world. He also had an opportunity for doing a lot of research work and publishing several papers in leading journals. After retirement from Sassoon General Hospitals, he worked as Professor Emeritus in Medicine and Cardiology. Later, he was also awarded the Fellowship of the American College of Chest Physicians and made Founder Fellow of the Indian College of Physicians. He imparted his profound knowledge to several students, some of whom are now top professionals in their own sphere. Dr. K. B. Grant was familiar with the work of Bharatiya Sanskriti Darshan Trust.

He was the owner of Natyasampada, the well-known Marathi drama production organization. He was a well known actor, producer who was honoured by various awards. His role as Lakhoba Lokhande in the drama “To Mi Navhech” is one of the most memorable roles presented so far on the Marathi stage. Mr. Panshikar was born into a family of Karhade Brahmin Sanskrit scholars in Phanswadi, Mumbai. The Panshikar family is originally from Goa, with their roots in the Panshi village in Pernem Taluka. Initially, Mr. Panshikar worked and acted under the guidance of veteran Marathi drama director M. G. Rangnekar. Mr. Rangnekar gave him his break in the play “To Mi Navhech” by offering him the main role in 1962. The show became so popular that it was subsequently translated into other Indian languages like Gujarati and Kannada. We at Bharatiya Sanskriti Darshan Trust, Ayurved Hospital Research & Development, Ayurved College, Atharva Ayurved Pharmaceuticals & Sardeshmukh family pay our tributes.

Governor’s rule expires in the State on January 19. Governor’s rule in J&K: • The imposition of governor’s rule in J&K is slightly different than that in otherstates. In other states, the president’s rule is imposed under the Article 356 of Constitution of India. • In J&K, governor’s rule is mentioned under Article 370 section 92 – ‘ Provisions in case of failure of constitutional machinery in the State.’ Article 370 section 92: Provisions in case of failure of constitutional machinery in the State: • If at any time, the Governor is satisfied that a situation has arisen in which the Government of the State cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution, the Governor may by Proclamation: • Assume to himself all or any of the functions of the Government of the State and all or any of the powers vested in or exercisable by anybody or authority in the State.

  • Shri Guru Charitra
    Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnu, Gurur Devo Maheshwara Guru Sakshat Parabrahmah Tasmai Shree Guru Veh Namah Shri Guru Charitra Introduction 'Shri Guru Charitra' is the life of 'Shri Guru Dattatreya' (an incarnation of Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara). It was originally written in Ovi form (a Marathi Metre) in Marathi by Shri Saraswati Gangadhar, whose ancestor Sayamdev had personally lived and served with devotion, Guru Narasimha Saraswati, an incarnation of Shri Dattatreya about 600 years ago. It was later translated into Sanskrit by Shri Vasudevananda Saraswati (Tembye Swamy), who is regarded by many as an incarnation of Shri Dattatreya and who lived about a hundred years ago. It has been later translated into several other languages. This volume is regarded as Divine; capable of blessing one and all who read it with respect and is placed with images of Gods and adored in almost all devotees' houses of Maharashtra. It is much respected and is very popular like Vedas, Ramayan, Mahabharat, Bhagawat and other Puranas in Sanskrit and Dnyaneshwari, Dasbodh, Ekanathi Bhagawat etc. in Marathi. In the last century, it has spread its influence far and wide and legion are the experiences got by those devotees who read it regularly with respect. Shri Dattatreya had taken birth at the Ashram of Atri and Anasuya in very very old times (Krita Yug) and it is believed that his two incarnations namely Shripada Shri Vallabha and Shri Narasimha Saraswati had taken place in the Deccan in about the 14th and 15th Century (A.D.) respectively. Shri Manikya Prabhu, Shri Akkalkot Maharaj, Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi and Shri Vasudevananda Saraswati are some of the great Saints who are considered as the Avatars (incarnations) or Amsas (taking a part of His powers) of Shri Dattatreya.

  • The Song of My Life
    The Song of My Life Enclosed within the shell of my mind, I keep on at my music, my meditation eternally; the struggles of a calcite inside an oyster; till I sublimate that note into a dazzling pearl! THE concert is over. Those who had come to meet me personally have also gradually dispersed. There is at the moment no one in the auditorium — the experience of a harmonious state of being with oneself. The body is craving for rest but the mind is still entangled in the mehfil. An indefinable pleasure starts sprouting all over in the mind side by side with a strange feeling of restlessness. All around it is still, very still. There is really no energy left to converse with those who are accompanying me on our way back. However, for some unknown reason, there is an irrepressible desire to sing. At such times, I hum to myself. The people who are with me keep quiet. The sound of the car no more reaches me. My singing continues even after I have laid myself into bed. When I sense the stirring of the dawn I close my eyes and lie peacefully. Like the fragrance of incense the appreciative response experienced during the mehfil envelopes the whole body and mind, and resting there, I fall asleep. Two small feet appear before me in my dream, the two feet going to school. There is a poem titled ‘kutir ka pushpa’ (the flower belonging to the cottage) by Jainendra Kumar. There is a crazy flower. The old man in the cottage had planted it.
