19th All Orissa Conference of Sri Aurobindo Medical Association 13th & 14th September 2008

REPORT OF ACTIVITIES OF SRI AUROBINDO MEDICAL ASSOCIATION 2007-2008

Members of the healing profession as well as those interested in the healing science vis-à-vis their deep interest in a total knowledge of the human species especially its possibility of evolving into the next come under the banner of Sri Aurobindo Medical Association. It is an open organisation.

Last year on 8th & 9th September, 2007, we had covered an integrative approach to ‘Joint Problems’. A galaxy of experts from Indian Systems of medicine (Ayurveda & Yoga), Homoeopathy, Acupressure, Color Therapy, and modern medicine including physiotherapy had delivered their presentations which went a long way to render a near total understanding of the problem. The experts who gave their deliberations were Dr. Nityananda Swain, Sri CH Nirakar, Dr. Dhaneswar Pradhan (CDMO, Kendrapara) Dr. Uday Nath Mishra, Dr. Bidyut Kumar Das, Dr.B.N. Mohapatra, Dr. Madan Mohan Sahoo, Dr. Jayant Kumar Panda (S.C.B.Medical College, Cuttack), Dr. Prashant Kumar Patra (Pediatric specialist, Bisra ) Dr. P.K. Panda (Govt Ayurvedic Medical College, Balangir), Dr. S. Nayak (A.C.R. Homoeopathy Medical College, BBSR), Sri Iswar Chandra Mohapatra, Dr. Prasanna Kumar Das, Smt Manjula Kar.

An exhibition displaying structure and function of joints as well as the common joint diseases and their differing modalities of treatment including modern medicine, homoeopathy, Ayurvedic, acupressure, magneto-therapy, color therapy, pranic healing, autosuggestion, laughter therapy and finally spiritual effort calling for a supramentalised plasticity was organized by the members of Sri Aurobindo Students Association of S.C.B.Medical College and old students of SAIHSR, Matrubhaban.

Another feature newly added to the conference was the multi-specialty consultation stations, organized this time also, which apart from providing free service for the delegates adds another practical way of learning the treatment patterns of the different modes. The modern medicine component last time had included a free bone densitometry test provided by Messrs Indchemie Pharmaceuticals.

Free Two-day First Aid training programme for Sri Aurobindo Integral Schools were completed for the Cuttack district by Dr. Prashant Kumar Nanda and St. John’s Ambulance Trainer Sri Bipin Behari Kar.

The 8th state level training of Sri Aurobindo Health Squad on "Primary Holistic Health Care" with special attention to ‘School Health Component’ was conducted at Matrubhaban from 3rd to 23rd May 2008. The benevolent experts who imparted this training as a humble offering were – Prof. Jogendra Mohan Senapaty, Dr.Nityananda Swain, Dr. Braja Kishore Khandai, Sri Dharanidhar Pal, Sri CH Nirakar, Sri Gadadhar Mishra, Sri Prasad Tripathy, Dr. Balabhadra Nayak, Dr. Saroj Kumar Sahu, Dr. Biranchi Narayan Mohapatra, Dr. Prashanta Kumar Nanda, Dr. Bipinananda Mishra, Dr. Jayant Kumar Panda, Dr. Bijoy Kumar Sahoo, Dr.Krushna Chandra Dash, Dr. Madan Mohan Sahoo, Dr. Madan Mohan Pradhan, Dr. Renubala Samal, Dr.Binodini Behera, Dr. Bikash Prasad, Dr. Rama krushna, Dr. Prasanna Kumar Das, Smt. Manjula Kar, Dr. R.N.Das, Sri Iswar Chandra Mohapatra, Dr.Purnima Biswal, Dr.Hemamalini Rath, Dr. Kabita Swain, Dr. Arta ballav Dash, Dr.Pravakar Jena, Ms. Abha Kanungo, Smt. Pramila Parija, Smt Anita Patra, Sri Nisith Kumar Rout, Sri Krushna Chandra Dalai ( of Cure Well laboratories)

There were only 11 trainees who participated. They were Radha from Mugupur, Keonjhar, and Jharana from Ruchida, Bargarh, and Pradipta from Sareikul, Jagatsinghpur, Tunilata, Guru Prasad & Purushottam from Purnagram, Jagatsinghpur, Prajnaparamita from Balikuda, Jagatsinghpur, Manoj from Betnoti, Dr. Ram Prasad, Rupa, Anita from SAIIHR, Ranihat. They were however an enthusiastic group.

We call for better response from all Sri Aurobindo Centres of Orissa, especially those which run integral schools considering the valuable knowledge and skill and attitudinal inputs imparted so selflessly and benevolently by the experts. Need based knowledge and capability in ‘Primary Holistic Health’ would go along way in serving the centre, its school children as well as the community around from the platform of a higher consciousness.

The trainees conducted school health check up at the Sri Aurobindo Vidya Pith of Sri Aurobindo Shrikshetra, Dalijoda – the Cure Well Laboratories extended generous help in demonstrating and giving hands on experience to trainees in performing Hemoglobin estimation, Blood grouping & Rh Typing, urine sugar and albumin of the school children; a report of this check up prepared by Pradipta (one of the trainees) has been given in the souvenir. The trainees also independently conducted a village health survey on the ‘Health Seeking Behaviour’ in two hamlets – ‘Jamania’ and ‘Gadasahi’- around Sri Aurobindo Shrikshetra by the inputs provided by Dr. Madan Mohan Pradhan.

The action plan was given to trainees and encouraged to initiate them before the completion of the year 2009 in consonance with the birth centenary celebrations of Babaji Sri Ramakrishna Das. They were:-
1. Organisation of ‘Sri Aurobindo Integral Primary Health Aid Centre’
2. Weekly or daily Sri Aurobindo Swasthya Pathachakra and send report to Matrubhaban Patra / Navaprakash/Navajyoti
3. Organisation of annual ‘District level Sri Aurobindo Health Squad Training’ on "Primary Holistic Health Care"
4. Identify and involve local ‘Health Care Providers’ ( Health Workers, Anganwadi workers, ASHA, Lady Health Visitors, Doctors of all disciplines)
5. Build up a local SAHS team one of whom should attend annual State Level SAHS training at Matrubhaban.
6. Organisation of Administrative Committee for School Health Programme & conduct School Health Checkup annually with help of local doctor as per the minimum guidelines worked out by Sri Aurobindo Medical Association
7. Build up a small herbal garden and make at least one preparation under CUSAG

Let us give a big thrust to these efforts which are our essential prerogatives for the Sri Aurobindo Centres that we work in and envisage a Total Change of Society in the Light of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo- to ‘perfect life with a divine perfection.’

...
"Obey your soul, it alone has the right to govern your life."
– THE MOTHER

Sri Aurobindo Medical Association extends its gratitude to the Managing Trustee of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry for giving us permission to print the photograph of Sri Aurobindo in the Souvenir.
