He
adopted only two pupils during his lifetime. One was his own son,
Vaid Sant-ram and second was our grand father, Vaid Vidya Sagar Aggarwal.
Both received the oretical and practical knowledge of Ayurveda
(natural way of healing with natural sources) from him. Our
grand father
had a keen interest in herbs, but our forefathers who were very
wealthy financiers/bankers and landlords were extremely against
this interest. At that time this profession was considered to
be of low - profile. People who worked in this field had to survive
on donations.
Our Grand father, Vaid Vidya Sagar Aggarwal unnerved, gave up powers
and luxuries but never gave up this field and continued learning
under RAJVAID Perma-Nand. He successfully completed his study
and practical knowledge and received the blessings of his teacher.
He started his own small enterprise in the field of herbal medicine
in 1932 under the name of SAGAR AYURVEDIC PHARMACY, which soon
became well-known company in making most effective standardized
herbal products. Vaid Vidya Sagar Aggarwal devoted his whole life
to herbal medicines and created many herbal formulations for human
welfare in the natural way of healing.
His
maximum creative work was from 1960 onwards and was soon faced
with patients with more chronic and complicated diseases. It was
at a time when chemical medicine formulations were getting so
much popularity in India and use of Ayurvedic medicines were declining.
The quick and fast results of chemical formulations won over the
herbal treatments, which had a sure but slow effect. People in
India could not adjust their traditional system of herbal treatment
with modern chemical science development.
Our
grand father used to tell us that chemical medications became were getting
more successful because they worked faster and gave quick relief
but suppressed the symptoms. Because the disease was suppressed
temporarily, the reoccurrence was more drastic and complicated.
He was of the opinion that chemical treatment was necessary and
many times life saving but man would have to turn back from chemicals
to a natural cure or have to keep the balance between chemicals
and natural herbs. He spent the rest of his life in the research
and trials of various herbal combinations on his patients. He
closed his Pharmacy, and started to practice as a herbalist. He
was now getting old and intended to pass his knowledge and life-experience
to his children.
Vaid
Vidya Sagar Aggarwal, who, until his death 14 years ago, believed
that the natural way of healing by herbal medicines would remain
forever. He passed all his experience, knowledge, and expertise
in the Ayurveda field of herbal healing to his children. He taught
various aspects of Ayurvedic theory behind this healingpathy method
adopted by ancient Ayurveda in conforming the properties of herbs.
Since
Vaid Vidya Sagar Aggarwal's death, people still remember his name
and fame. He lives in the heart of the people due to the work
he rendered for mankind throughout his life and his grand sons are carrying
on his formulas as a family tradition today. Now a days it is
very difficult to find a true herbalist like Vaid Vidya Sagar
Aggarwal since most of them, like he, have gone from this universe.
