Biography
Hi all. I am a physician over many years and have been involved in health, healing Spirituality and Medicine.
I am board certified in Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatry, Board Recert in Internal Medicine and now am soon taking the new board of Integrative Medicine
For Medical school residency and Fellowship, I attended Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Harvard/Children’s Hospital, and Dallas Presbyterian Hospital
Born in San Antonio Texas, and parents originally from South India, I have walked a unique and challenging East -West life path in this country and truly understand the issues at hand of both worlds.
I have studied much in Western and Eastern Medicine and Spirituality and one of my long-term goals is create a new paradigm that blends both world medical and Spiritual views.
This medical/psychiatry road has brought many challenges and rewards over time and I am no exception in walking through all the complexities of major areas of Western via medical school, residency, fellowships and practice in all forms.
I feel fortunate to have also studied lifelong teachings in Eastern Medicine and Spirituality and Western Naturopathic/Holistic principles as well. I value honesty integrity authenticity and creativity in my personal and professional life.
I have included a section of some of my artwork, ventriloquism and writings/books on this website that reflect a little of who I am and what I represent
What I Do Best
This web is mainly to introduce a little of who I am and what my expressions are through dialogue and creativity
I describe myself as quirky, funny, creative, sensitive, authentic and honest. I diligently work and am and always strive to facilitate to help “discover uncover and recover” people’s highest and best based on their own choices, ways and means. In my view a spiritually minded physician can be a facilitator and way shower–(attempting to practice what one preaches)–the rest is then left to the individual and their unique destiny and path.
As of 2023, I have been doing mainly travel physician work and many conventional MD work. For many, many years I have had an inner path and have been working on my own issues and well-being but I hope to do several shorter- and longer-term projects including some of the following.
- I think first and foremost is to create a podcast and channel on any and all aspects of health, healing, Medicine, Spirituality and Enlightenment. At this point of my career and journey I feel I have much to share and many opinions, values ideas, thoughts, feelings, and experiences to share across the wide field I am in. I envision this channel to be an extension of me at first —to represent who I am and what I am about –like an experience or energy signature –This kind of podcast and channel is in its initial —stages and requires careful thought, planning and consideration because its content will be very deep, thoughtful well organized and will have a very broad message. It is my hope that this channel will expand into a large production company for positive news, uplifting themes, focus on positive planetary stewardship and any and all aspects of health, healing, Medicine, Spirituality and Enlightenment. The sky is no limit in its scope to produce movies, new forms of media via hologram technology and all so that a new paradigm of health ideas and practice can be developed on and for Mother Earth. For too long in my opinion the media and all has focused on the collective negative—and it is time for the collective positive to broaden to raise the planetary consciousness. In essence it is “opening the heart, transforming the mind to realize and remember the Divine Spirit within. ” That is the ultimate purpose of Medicine in my view and somewhere along the line the health care field has lost this deep purpose or has temporarily forgotten.
- I envision relatively soon a holistic and integrative practice and presence. However, this kind of clinic will also be different and out of the box. I would like to create an actual sacred temple environment —that blends sacred methods in the clinic atmosphere itself. Part would be deeply Hindu but also will respect all —religions and spiritual paths. The idea is to use ancient references on how clinics were yesteryear and yore: places of worship along with cure and salve. So in my illustrations I have included some aspects of a unique healing temple and actual clinic ideas as one reference point.
- A little further along –this “healing temple idea” would expand into a very large/complete spiritual medical campus and sacred healing temple complex that encompasses a very vast length breath and depth of East West medicine, health and healing. The temple itself that I am envisioning is not found anywhere in the world –even in India and imbibes a very deep and thorough rendition of all aspects of ancient and sometimes forgotten Hinduism.
Its atmosphere is unique because it will have the intention for medical, psychiatric, and holistic Spiritual healing via ancient ritual practice and tenet. Such temples, common in ancient times are hardly found in India and the far East in our modern day. It will also house a Universal temple for other faiths and emphasize their divine personalities and others who were or are within the healing profession so that all may feel welcome to participate in any aspect of the temple campus’ agenda, activities, methods and education. And yes, a place for those with no spiritual background or gnostic and atheistic approaches and perspectives will also be honored. - And, one of my very deepest and sincerest intention in this entire life path is to create a new broad path known as the Sri Aurora Path —I have studied for many years with many known and unknown spiritualists of all faiths and I am hoping that this path will be very broad to help mankind with all aspects of life and living: social, spiritual, material/practical/medical and psychiatric. The name Sri Aurora Path came to me many years ago —which to me means “Golden Light” path. My personal contribution will be very close to my heart and I hope to introduce a new form of healing vibrational energy that helps with one’s physical, mental and emotional evolution and that fosters the awakening, remembrance and unfolding of inner Spirit and Self. (More detail will evolve as this Path reveals itself and evolves and progresses over time. Such Self remembrance or enlightenment is what I feel is the deepest essence of any religion or spirituality –seen and unseen known or unknown and that real holistic medicine begins at the deepest core of our being—something that often is not emphasized in my opinion in today’s Modern health modalities.
My Learning Lessons
These are quite broad and extensive but what I can say here in a nutshell is that I have found that Western World Global Medicine excels in Infectious diseases, Emergencies, internal Medicine symptom improvement, Surgery, Intensive Care, and Technology but I have discovered that these areas alone are not the whole picture. What is salient at least in my experience and view is that the softer side of Medicine is often ignored or just not part of the healing process. I am speaking about the areas of feelings, emotions, heart, acknowledging the importance of ” well-being ” —-IE the subjective issues/recognition of patient recovery-can sometimes be missing. The intense and deep need for creativity, nurturance and yes LOVE is sometime not practiced fully for many system and other reasons. While healers and healthcare workers often start with high heart ideals, shadows can darken our heart intention at times from burn out, volume pressures, finances, politics and so much more. Thus, such shadows in health practices can obscure the “sunlight on a cloudy day.” I feel spirituality is also a very important area that Medicine sometimes does not focus on. Our health in my opinion is an integral part of Spirituality. It may sound like common sense but working over many years there is a dryness and a void in imbuing very deep and esoteric Spirituality into routine health care. We need to imbibe deep human art and creativity into one’s care that will foster balance between Soma and Psyche as well.
Thus, my lesson has been to learn all that I can in order to build and develop an evolving, expanded model in healthcare that I have found has great potential now and in the future of our planet.
In addition, I have learned that Medicine and Psychiatry is very compartmentalized and subspecialized — Medical problems are divided according to pathology and each physician often focuses on one area for the remainder of life. There is no question that doctors have take on certain areas of Medicine due to aptitude interest and focus —however the field has gone to an extreme where many focus on a narrow area and sometimes forget to view and help “the whole person”—Body, Mind Emotions, Soul. Diagnosis is symptom oriented, and treatment is often symptom suppressive with powerful chemicals and interventions that often can make people worse. —-A renaissance in prevention, natural medicine and energy healing is warranted—not just in theory but in practice and manifestation.
Brief Descriptive Model
I have different ideas for funding (outside the box) ; suggestions and ideas on how I would like to see integrative and holistic care and interventions delivered as well as many educational —and media ideas that will unify very deep esoteric and ancient Spiritual principles with Modern Medicine that the usual student and later MD or DO often is not exposed to or aware of the content ideas and concepts.
