Introduction: 

        Dr. Mahendra Singh held various positions as a teacher of Organon. He rose to the national arena as Chairman, Education Committee, Central Council of Homoeopathy. He was elected as National President, Homoeopathic Medical Association of India.

         He has authored several books to his credit. His latest work - First corrected, re - translated and redacted edition of Organon of Medicine is amazing. He learnt German to do this great work.

         “He who always set up a minimum standard for me to attain, which again has made me work hard and harder, and who by being an example has inspired me to work more and more”. These words of Dr. Subhas Singh about his father Dr.Mahendra Singh holds good not only for him but for the entire homoeopathic family.

         Hahnemann ‘s Journey in this world began in the early hours of Friday on the 11th of April in the waning Spring season or the season of the incipient Baishakhi storms, 1755,passedthrough many hamlets many towns some cities few kingdoms and two countries It ended on 2nd July 1843, in the season of lashing rains and thunder storms, in an indistinct cemetery and the cemetery of the most prosperous of the metropolis of Paris.

         It is unique and will remain probably forever unsurpassable by human beings. It was unique because in spite of the toils, tumults and turbulence of packing, unpacking, horse driven carriage rides settling and repacking, it reached exceptional literary creative height, an enviable altitude of research and discovery struggles and victory. And when the security of opulence, wealth and worldly comforts and its luxurious off-springs came, the fountain of creativity in him, his writings, translations compilations, etc., all dried up, totally and completely.
Some persons acquire a glow in their protected shelters of academics but Hahnemann’s light and brilliance was greater, at its best and more dazzling during the struggles, amidst the adversities and against hostilities of fate and fortune. He was at his best, only when he was through his most difficult times. It was not the journey of a Duke, a king, an Emperor, the histories of whose achievements, whose victories gather dust under the mountains of better achievements, whose victories are dwarfed by similar but greater victories but it is the story of a poor boy born of a bread- earning labourer, who groped, found and established something of permanent and paramount importance to humanity, to mankind and something which is related to the healthy life and longevity of human beings and achieved all of it not by family inheritance not by the kindness of a benevolent life but by grit determination dedication and untiring lab ours.

The driving force of determination and life’s mission to achieve and establish was his power to create. The achievement of the goal itself was the end of the journey the journey of creation and the will to create. This is what was in him and what makes him a umique literary giant, a scientific crusader and a medical reformer, a prophet of healing, the equal of whom will not come again.

Napoleon’s superior in the waiting room

In 1820 Hahnemann received a famous patient, field marshal Karl Philipp Fürst von Schwarzenberg (1771-1820). As Austria had forbidden the practice of homeopathy, the field marshal was forced to undertake the journey to Leipzig, accompanied by his two life physicians. Von Schwarzenberg was no less than one of the four commanders of the allied forces that had vanquished Napoleon in the so-called Battle of the Nations at Leipzig in October 1813, Napoleon’s first defeat.

The field marshal was suffering the consequences of a stroke in 1817. Before showing up at Hahnemann for homeopathic treatment he had tried a water cure, but in vain. Already after a short period of treatment, however, Hahnemann refused to continue treatment, because he discovered that the field marshal’s life physicians, in all secrecy, conducted bloodletting. Von Schwarzenberg died one month later. Hahnemann attended the funeral and was present at the post-mortem investigation. The presence of numerous arteriosclerotic nodules was demonstrated, from which he would have died in any way.
