RAJOURI, June 9: Dr. Sushil Sharma today held a day long health check up cum awareness camp at S.V.S Degree College for Women, Rajouri town during the culmination of weeklong Sri Bhagwad Katha highlighted the interplay between religion, spirituality and health, and their significant role in people’s overall well being. The camp was inaugurated by Swami Ji amidst Vedic invocations emphasising let’s all be disease free. More than 2000 patients were screened, evaluated and sensitised for various health ailments. Blood sugar, ECG tests were performed and medicines were also given as per the requirements.
While interacting with the patients and attendees gathered for the awareness camp, Dr. Sushil, HoD Cardiology, GMC Jammu maintained that like spirituality, health is also a multi-faceted concept and thus open to numerous explanations and definitions. However, growing evidence suggests the relationship of spirituality with physical, mental, emotional, social and vocational well-being. Spiritual health, thus, permeates and integrates all the major dimensions of health.
“It is a dynamic state of being, reflected in the quality of relationships that people have in up to four domains of spiritual well being. Personal domain where a person inter-relates with self, Communal domain with in-depth inter-personal relationships, environmental domain connecting with nature, and transcendental domain relating to something or someone beyond the human level. It is important to highlight here that all these domains, though seems to be separate are actually inter related and instrumental in forming a model of well being with people at the core,” Dr Sharma said.
He maintained that although the emergence of spiritual behaviour starts with one’s inner self but it too requires intervention by some external agency. Pointing especially towards the role that can be played by spiritual leaders in this part of the state where inhabitants are largely unaware about various health issues, he emphasised the need to channelize the vision and teachings of such religious personalities for promoting healthy behaviour among the common populace.
