For example, a female student of Sri AurobindoInternational Centre of Education, whose eyesight had failed both for far andnear, recovered normal eyesight in about a week's time. And a teacher at theCentre, whose left eye had been blind since childhood, regained normal sightwithin two months with regular eye exercises for about two hours a day.

I am frightened to post this review but I'll do it anyways for the sake of humanity.....
At this point in my life, I will begin baring to everyone certain truths that the medical industry of the world will never share with you——the first being that it is limited, grossly limited. And one of the reasons why allopathic doctors around the world are thriving in this business is because patients have completely bought their words as an end on itself, like it’s the only and absolute truth possible——it’s NOT. The moment you begin questioning something, you have an endless possibility awaiting on the other side.
I might be a practising ophthalmologist, but I donot much believe in allopathy because our bodies have an innate healing system, which, if studied with time and patience, and then utilised, can cure a large chunk of illnesses. I have tried many such things on myself and they worked unfailingly.
I had, as a child, picked up a book written by Sri Aurobindo, called “ Yoga of Perfect Sight.” The reason I wanted to read that book is because the medical dictum that states—-“in old age you WILL need spectacles by default”——didn't sit well with me. I refuse to wear glasses as I become old someday. In this quest for answers, I read this book, which I had picked up in Pondicherry, the city of ashrams, that teach pranic healing etc. The book blew my mind. It is full of case reports of people who were able to overthrow refractive errors and completely cure them by simple eye-yogic practices. The techniques are described in it and patients who were dissatisfied by ordinary ophthalmology all prescriptions that stated, “The error won’t improve,” searched hard for a solutions and eventually landed up in this doctor’s clinic, who has an MS degree but works by harnessing body’s innate power to cure diseases, and has found success, time and again, in this path. The more I read the more I understood what a myth I am endorsing as an ophthalmologist because so many refractive errors that we regularly state are in curable, can be simply wiped out by yogic practices. They are such simple practices that you won’t even need to come to India to do them. Just reading the book is enough. Did you know the entire system of electric lighting that we use at home is silently denuding the strength and quality of my eyesight? When you sit under an electric light and read, the glare that bounces off the pages of the book and strikes your eyes is lethal but not in way that is evident right away, but in a chronic way ( so people never know). Candle light usage or lamp light usage ( which is far more economical) is infinitely more eye-friendly and will NEVER EVER EVER cause anything like this ever. In the past people used, not electric lights, but fire light.
The book, by the way, is written by Dr. R.S. Agarwal, founder of the School for Perfect Eyesigjt at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry, India, started his career with a medical degree. His practice combined allopathy and naturapathy with the Bates Method and the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo. The discoverer of a synthesis in ophthalmic science, his aim was to create a new type lf doctor, a spiritualised doctor of the future, more concerned with health than with pathology, one who could bring to his patients perfect eyesight in a natural way.
He discovered (through so many experiments of patients), as he mentions through out the book, how mind is constantly connected with the health of your eyes.
The part on Retinitis Pigmentosa reveals how many patients he has been able to treat with this illness.
I will recommend reading the book and then applying because then the clarity will be deeper.
Remember:
“Nothing is absolute, neither science, allopathy, nor what I am telling you, everything is in a flux, because everything is always evolving.” Hence questioning everything, trying new things, even when the world tries stamping it as absolute will help you a lot! Will help anyone.
Science was discovered and is restricted within its linguistic parlance. But then what about the realms of the body and reality that exist beyond words, what if they have stores of healing powers that were never tapped into?
This is what I would like you to consider.
By the way, I discussed this book with my father, who is also an allopathic doctor and he too agreed with the strength of yogic healing. Yoga ( in this case it is eye-yoga) heals from
the roots. Remember allopathy is a business for survival. It has its place yes, but it is also very limited in many ways. So it will never tell you the way to cure from the roots. Why? Because if it did, the patients would stop coming. Hence substitutes, placebos and chemicals were used to temporarily remove symptoms until they reappeared so the patient could come back again, and be charged.
It’s nothing bad. It’s because doctors need to feed and survive. But I want you to understand how limiting it is. :)
