Dr. P.K. Mukherjee is a leading physician and academician. He is graduated in modern medical science, inspired by the principles of similimum, done post graduation in homoeopathy. He practices at Varanashi. He had written many articles in scientific journals.

    We know that Dr.Samuel Hahnemann was the ‘Father of Homoeopathy’ and was born on 10th April 1755 in a beautiful city in Saxony of Germany. He was not only a discoverer of a new system of medicine known as Homoeopathy but also gave awareness to the society. People are considering it as reliable, harmless and maximum beneficial mode of treatment nowadays. Beyond this there are several characters that were present in Hahnemann’s life which are being remembered by the medical sciences forever.

A great scientist of his time
    Dr.Hahnemann was not only an inventor of the new system of medicine Homoeopathy but also a great scientist. As a scientist he was busy in search of new experiments. Others also accepted his practical experiences. All discoveries done by the scientists have been found accidentally and the same condition happened in our Master’s life. Once an ideology was explained in British Journal for about the quality of Chincona or Quinine, which was most popular medicine, used for treating malaria at that time and also having the quality of curing the disease. Hahnemann was worried about this and his logic was that why other bitter substances applied in drugs had no quality to cure the disease. He was frustrated with this and he himself made his mind to use some quantity of quinine in his healthy body, which made him to experience the symptoms of malarial fever. He first thought it to be natural but later found that no symptoms of fever developed. He then experimented with different quantities of the drug and found the result to be the same. This inspired him to experiment with other drug substances in his body and lastly came to the conclusion that the drug substances having the capacity to cure disease may also produce disease like symptoms on healthy body. Thus by his own practical experiment he was able to prove the system “Homoeopathy”. His micro dose theory came from common theory of chemistry that quality is inversely proportional to quantity. And the micro doses are not only more effective on disease along with bipolar action in therapeutics. His immortal ideology is that science cannot be bound in limited span, it never depends on conservativeness and is always developed by experiment, experiences, time and nature.

Beginner of Modern Era of Medical Sciences:
    It is no doubt that Dr.Hahnemann has made a great revolution to develop modern medical era in the world of the science. He was the first pioneer who told that each disease has cause for its development. The causative factors are small, invisible and easily effective in the body by deficiency or functional and structural disturbances in the body (Knowledge of Pathology). The physician must know the tools, which are used, properly (Knowledge of Therapeutics) and the remedies used for treatment should be known (Knowledge of Pharmacy).

     Once the Father of Modern Pathology Dr.George Vircows told Dr.J.T. Kent in 1987 that he belived Dr.Hahnemann was the beginner of Modern Microbiology because without any microscope microbes, bacteria and viruses could not be identified.

Hahnemann was a Physician first then a Homoeopath:
    A good Physician is an ideal person who is directly sent by God to his patient. He always restores the sick person into health as early as possible with harmless manner and with maximum relief. A successful Physician tries to diagnose every disease not only by common symptom but also consider the individual abnormalities of the diseased person. The proper diagnosis helps the Physician for better prognosis. When a Doctor fails in his treatment it is his lack of knowledge.

A Great Philosopher of His Time:
    A Philosopher is one who thinks always for truth. His activities are useful for the society and his morals cannot be forgotten. We never forget our Master Dr.Hahnemann who was also a great philosopher of his time.
