Suttur, May 2, 2019: Swami Sri Veereshananda Saraswathi of the Ramakrishna Vivekananda Ashrama, Tumakuru, emphasized the power of faith in achieving remarkable feats during his participation in the valedictory of the Retreat program for Doctors at Suttur Srikshetra.
In his discourse, Swami Sri Veereshananda Saraswathi stated, “With strong faith, we can accomplish anything. Love cannot thrive in the absence of faith. Instead of battling suspicion, we should cultivate confidence in our faith. By doing so, we eliminate room for suspicion. Love deepens continuously. Doctors should develop care and love for their patients, while patients should have faith and confidence in the treatments and medicines prescribed by their doctors. I wish that all of you become doctors who have compassion in their hearts for their patients. Communicate with love and affection with your patients and their families, ensuring that they trust you.”
Dr. Shridhar Deshmukh, Advisor of Preventive Healthcare and Therapeutic Yoga, Bengaluru, emphasized the profound connection between nutrition and mental well-being. “Food is vital as it provides us with the strength to carry out our daily activities. Our diet directly influences our body’s energy levels. Optimal nutrition includes organically grown fresh vegetables and fruits, which keep us active,” he added.
Participants Dr. Gurudatta, Dr. Asha, Dr. Suman, Dr. Hemalatha, and Dr. Saraswatamma expressed their appreciation for the well-organized and rejuvenating camp. Dr. Purushottam Shastry presented the camp report, Dr. K.B. Chetak extended a warm welcome, and Dr. K.B. Suma delivered the vote of thanks.
The camp commenced each day with an early morning prayer, followed by invigorating yoga and pranayama sessions.
