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.
