Case study: Mr. S.G. Vatkar recovered from a heart disease without cardiac surgery

 

Mr. Vatkar works as a Deputy General Manager with The Shipping Corporation of India Ltd. in Mumbai, India. He has been practising spirituality since 1989. The following is an account of Mr. Vatkar in his own words, discussing the case history, the symptoms and the spiritual remedy that cured him.

 

 

I was having chest pain for some months. As its intensity increased an E.C.G. was done on 12th February 2000. My family doctor reassured me that the E.C.G. and blood pressure were normal.

As the chest pain persisted I took that ECG to a cardiologist and sought his advice. He advised me to undergo stress test. On 15th February 2000 while under going the stress test, the consultant doctor stopped the test within 4-5 minutes and said that I had a severe cardiac problem. Normally this test is terminated after 15 to 20 minutes.

When I showed the results of the stress test to another cardiologist, he advised Angiography if I was ready to undergo surgery. He advised medical treatment and a follow up after two weeks. On the same day I reported this to His Holiness Dr. Athavale on the telephone.

As I was narrating the events, He interrupted me and said, "You don't have any cardiac problem. This has happened because of depletion of your vital energy (pranshakti) reserves. Start Ayurvedic medicines, take adequate rest and continue service unto the Truth (Satseva)."

I started medicines as advised and took rest for a week. Instead of abating, my chest pain went on increasing. A specialist doctor staying next door advised me to undergo some more medical tests and take treatment accordingly and also go for a walk. He assured me that the exercise would restart the circulation (natural bypass). My friends and the office physician also advised me to go for further investigations. On 22nd February 2000, I received a message to contact His Holiness Dr. Athavale immediately. Thinking that it could be in connection with some important task related to the Trust activities I rang Him.

The first thing He said was, "Have you approached His Holiness Joshibaba for spiritual treatment according to the e-mail I had sent on 16th February 2000 itself?"

I replied, "I have not received this message. Hence I have not approached Him for spiritual treatment. Now I will go to Him." Then I asked Him if in the mean time I could be hospitalised to undergo further medical tests. He affirmed.

On 23 February 2000 I was admitted in the Lilawati Hospital, Mumbai, India. During the hospital stay of 2-3 days I underwent a variety of medical tests.

From the reports, it was obvious that there was insufficient blood supply to the heart, which put my life at high risk and that this could not be treated merely with drugs. These tests (scanning and nuclear medicine) have an almost 90 % accuracy rate. The consultant told me that in order to decide a further course of treatment I would have to go for Angiography. With Guru's grace all the doctors I consulted were sattvik (sattva predominant) but their diagnosis was based only on gross investigations. I was a bit uncertain and worried. I started the spiritual remedies advised by His Holiness Joshibaba immediately.

He said, "You go for angiography, we will decide what to do afterwards but on the other hand you don't have to do anything of that sort."

Before undertaking further investigations and treatment I spoke to His Holiness Dr. Athavale on 27 February 2000. He said, "Get the angiography done. If the doctor advises surgery (coronary bypass) go for it. We don't want to waste spiritual practice to treat the physical illness. We have lots of work to do in future and we don't want to waste your time. Chant the Name of God given to you and continue the spiritual remedy as advised by His Holiness Joshibaba.

I felt reassured with His Holiness Dr. Athavale's words and I decided that, 'Whatever happens it will be as per God's wish.' On 29 February 2000, I was taken to the operation theatre for the angiography. Remembering my Guru His Holiness Bhaktaraj Maharaj and His Holiness Dr. Athavale, I closed my eyes and started chanting the Name of my family deity. Even though I had the opportunity to observe the procedure over monitor I did not see or listen to anything. After 15 minutes, the doctor exclaimed, "Congratulations! You don't have even 1% block in your vessels. Generally in a 54 years old person a 50-70 % block in their blood vessels is common. Such unblocked vessels are rare. There is no need for angioplasty or bypass surgery. You do not have any cardiac problem." I said, ''It's only due to Guru's grace.''

Even after my repeated questions the doctors could not give a satisfactory explanation for this on an anatomical basis. I immediately telephoned to inform this to His Holiness Joshibaba. He said, "I had already told you that you don't have any medical problem. God has planned a lot of work to be done through you. This has happened because of your faith."

Spiritual perspective of case study of Mr. S.G. Vatkar

According to the science of Spirituality the spiritual root cause of any illness is two-fold:

•  One is because of increase in tama component with a concomitant decrease in the sattva.

•  The other is the attack by a specific ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies etc.)

Hence the specific spiritual remedy is based on efforts to reduce the tama component and increase the sattva component as per the case as well as efforts to alleviate the ghost problem.

Spiritual diagnosis

Now, in Mr. Vatkar's case one of the major spiritual root cause of his heart disease was reduction in vital energy. This was basically due to negative energy problems and also reduction in the sattva components.

So what exactly happened for him to be healed of his vital energy (praanshakti) problem?

Spiritual remedy

Mr. Vatkar undertook chanting of the Name of God as advised by his spiritual guide with faith.

Mechanism of action of chanting of the Name of God: When we chant the Name of God, it also has His divine energy attached to it. The reason for this is a spiritual rule, which states that 'Touch, form, taste, odour and the energy associated with it always co-exists with the name of anything'. Hence chanting the Name of God increases the vital energy stores in the person.

In addition he also undertook specific spiritual remedies as advised by H.H. Joshibaba.
