1. The journey from being a seeker to becoming a disciple

A. Having the quality of selflessness and the attitude of sacrifice, which are essential for spiritual practice : Sadguru Vaidyacharya (Dr) Vasant Balaji Athavale started noting down higher level philosophical thoughts on Spirituality in 1980. He toiled day and night to create a vast treasure of knowledge on Spirituality. He donated this treasure to Sanatan Sanstha (to become Sanatan's Texts) in 1990. This sacrifice, before He became a Saint indicates the level of His spiritual practice & seekership. Due to His writings, Sanatan's Texts are now becoming inclusive in the true sense.

B. In 2004, He became Paratpar Guru (Dr) Athavale's disciple (A great Saint who is also His younger brother and is the Founder of Sanatan Sanstha, the world-renowned spiritual organisation).

2. Attaining Sainthood

On 16.12.2012, He reached Sainthood due to His spiritual emotion, intense yearning, an inquisitive nature & humility.

A. Sadguru Vaidyacharya (Dr) Vasant Athavale attained Saint-hood by performing spiritual practice through various Paths of Spirituality : Every person performs spiritual practice as per some path of Spirituality, becomes introverted, progresses spiritually and thus moves towards Sainthood. However, Dr Vasant Athavale attained Sainthood through Karmayoga (Path of Action) by serving the patients, Dnyanyoga (Path of Knowledge) by writing Holy texts, Bhaktiyoga (Path of Devotion) and Gurukrupayoga (Path of Guru's grace) by performing spiritual practice as per all these Paths.

3. Active in seva for Sanatan's mission until His last breath

Sadguru (Dr) Vasant Athavale kept performing satseva for Sanatan's mission until His last breath. When He came to know of Divine particles found in Sanatan's Ashram, He inquisitively studied the subject, contemplated on how to conduct research on this topic from a scientific perspective and gave His own suggestions too.

He renounced His body on 9.11.2013 at the age of 80 years.

Preface

The skin is the natural covering of the body. Skin performs different functions - It protects the underlying organs from external factors such as dust, breeze, heat, cold, cosmic rays, etc. The skin is the sense organ of pleasant-painful touch, feeling of high-low temperature. It maintains the body temperature through the medium of sweat. Sunlight helps the skin to manufacture Vitamin D, which is linked to cholesterol because we need cholesterol in our skins cells to make Vitamin D from sunlight. Skin has close bonding with the mind. An angry individual's face becomes red, whereas a terrified individual's face turns white. Continuous worry leads to skin diseases.

There are two Volumes on the subject of 'Skin diseases'. In the first Volume, topics such as structure of the skin, measures to be taken for keeping the skin healthy have been discussed. Additionally, symptoms of ailments associated with beauty such as burning of the skin, urticaria, skin ailments associated with beauty, etc. have been discussed and the remedies have been described. In the second Volume, information on the ailments of hair along with ailments such as ringworms, scabies, leucoderma has been given. This Text also elaborates on the various natural and artificial cosmetics. Both the Texts are worth reading for obtaining information on skin diseases and making efforts for maintaining the health of the skin.

One among the many reasons for skin diseases is 'demerits of past lives' and the ancient Texts on Ayurveda advise Divine measures for curing them. These Texts also mention Divine remedies. They have been taken from the Sanskrut Text 'Bruhat Nighantu Ratnakar'.

We pray at the Holy feet of Vayudevata (Deity of Air) - May all be inspired to understand the rules of Ayurveda and act accordingly; may everyone's skin remain healthy and lustrous !
