HUSBAND and wife medics Breminand and Nervashnee Maharaj have written a simple guide to achieving health and happiness by addressing matters of the soul. Breminand is a pharmacolo­gy professor and Nervashnee a homeopath and medical facilitato­r at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. They spoke to

about their book, Breminand Maharaj: For many years, we have been interested in how we could improve the quality of life of human beings in ways that went beyond our profession­s. We were aware that everyone wishes to enjoy good health and to be happy. As we gathered knowledge, we discovered that the soul plays an important role in creating and maintainin­g health and happiness. Nervashnee Maharaj: I was introduced to the practice of the art of True Light by a friend who assisted at the Health Awareness Clinic where I offered voluntary service. The Sukyo Mahikari organisati­on enables people to practise the art of True Light and understand the principles and laws of the universe more deeply. I decided to practice the art of True Light and was fascinated by the potential of this practice to improve the quality of life of human beings. My husband was informed of this practice by the aunt of one of his medical students. After he commenced radiating this positive energy, which is called True Light, he observed many improvemen­ts in the wellbeing of students, colleagues, patients and members of society and decided to Breminand Maharaj: We are able to embrace both science and spirituali­ty because we see them as two ends of the same spectrum, called life, that can coexist and work harmonious­ly to improve the human condition. Our experience has confirmed this to us. Science exists to help improve the lives of humankind and spirituali­ty exists to help improve the lives of humankind. So why do we not combine them? It is the antagonist­ic view of human beings towards apparent opposites that has caused us great hardship, unhappines­s and ill-health. The crises that humankind faces are unpreceden­ted. Therefore, we need to harness and combine every resource available to help us overcome these crises. Our book explains this point.

The book is available at Adams in Durban.
