Dr. Rajan Sankaran

Rajan Sankaran graduated from CMP Homeopathic Medical College in Mumbai and went on to teach there as associate professor for twenty-five years, later taking an MD in homeopathy from Aurangabad University. He has been in practice and teaching for more than four decades, and is the figure most responsible for the direction homeopathic thinking has taken since the 1990s.

His contribution is a sequence of conceptual moves that each reframed the case: disease as delusion, the classification of remedies by kingdom — plant, mineral, animal — and then the "Sensation" method, in which the practitioner works to reach what he describes as the non-human-specific experience underneath a patient's story. His schema of levels, from name and fact down to sensation and energy, is now taught in schools that have no other connection to him. He has taught in more than twenty-five countries.

He heads the other song — The International Academy of Advanced Homeopathy in Mumbai, and runs his clinic in the same city. His books run to more than twenty-five professional titles, and in recent years he has written for a general readership too — From Pattern to Presence and When Skill Meets Soul are addressed to anyone interested in awareness and inner work rather than to homeopaths. Alongside this he teaches meditation, sings Indian classical raga, and has developed Raga Therapy, applying what he calls homeopathic principles to Indian classical music.
