Minutes of July IUAD meeting

Health is more than wealth!

With this beautiful saying from the President, Mr. Seyed Jaafar, we kicked off our meeting yesterday, themed “Alternative Medicine – Homeopathy”. The president also highlighted the importance of health and thanked the guest speaker for graciously agreeing to present her talk at our alumni meeting. He then introduced the chair person as the oxygen and back bone of IUAD, Mr. Anil Kumar.

The chair person thanked the president and said that he is happy to be associated with such a group of intellectuals and like minded people. He then gave an insight into what health is all about and mentioned about the health triangle which is the overall health achieved through a combination of physical, mental, emotional and social well – being.

Since the laughing guru wasn’t available, Mr. Anil Kumar decided to have a body loosening exercises before we get started with other activities on the agenda. He himself took the lead in demonstrating the body loosening, eyes, and neck exercises which were exceptionally well followed by the audience.

The chair person then introduced the meditation guru, Mr. Raj Kumar for his meditation and relaxation session. The session was well conducted with his authoritative but warm and friendly instructions. This was well complemented with the dimmed lights in the room for the eyes and soothing music in the background to the ears. (Though, I personally didn't participate. See http://whatsonnn.blogspot.com/2009/05/reiki-and-yoga.html)

After the refreshing session, the chair person had a surprise item which was not there in the agenda and wasn’t even in the minds of the recipients too. He welcomed among the audience the two newly married couples and presented them a bouquet each. That was so kind and unique of him and the committee.

Then came the most interesting part; the talk by Dr. Mapolin on Homeopathy. The chair person introduced the speaker and welcomed her for the presentation.

The presentation started with a question “Does anyone knows about Homeopathy?” To this, there was a mixed response from the audience.

Let us now go through some of the points that I gather from this interesting presentation:

1. Homeopathy is an alternative medicine works by stimulating our own healing power
2. It also increases our immunity against diseases
3. It is the first choice of therapy because it is scientific, logical, safe, quick and effective
4. It heals patients from within
5. It works on the combination of body and mind
6. It is prepared naturally by the use of fruits, vegetables, animal products like egg, milk, etc
7. It only contains the curative power from which it is made
8. Since it is prepared naturally it is non toxic (no side effects)
9. It is ideal for children and infants
10. It has cure for almost every disease

Although there was so much more in her presentation but I wasn’t able to gather those as I was so glued to the interesting talk and preferred not to take notes.

After the presentation Dr. Mapolin was gracious enough to take on a series of questions from our audience and answered them in great detail. The interest that she took in answering the questions reflected her sincerity, affection and kind personality.

After the presentation Master Saif on behalf of IUAD presented her with a token of appreciation. We immensely thank her for taking the time out from her schedule and addressing us.

The (s)election of new office bearers was postponed until the next few meetings.

Before the conclusion of the meeting vote of thanks was presented by Mr. Kiran. He thanked the audience, Dr. Mapolin and the committee members.

The chair person then invited everyone for dinner and concluded the meeting.
