I have been working in close proximity with Dr Ajit Kulkarni and feel immense joy in expressing my opening remarks about this harmonious compilation of his work on homeopathy. Nearly no aspect of importance and vital homeopathic moments escape from the penetrating and attentive eye of Dr Ajit Kulkarni. It's amazing, if we note that he does these efforts in his inimitable style in spite of his busy homeopathic practice in India and abroad, as well as his time-consuming travels for domestic and international seminars in Bulgaria, Russia, Italy, Turkey, Israel, Ukraine, and other countries, along with his scrupulous work on scientific heritage of Dr Tarkas and on 'Absolute Homeopathic Materia Medica' and the repertory based on it, as well as his unique contribution of 'Body Language and Homeopathy'. I am happy that his precious invaluable treasure has not gone into oblivion.

Over the years, it is seen that there is a decline in the quality of homeopathic profession due to lack of clinical understanding, lack of Materia medica knowledge, drawbacks in miasmatic coverage, deviations from genuine homeopathic methodology, attempts to "rediscover", "revolutionize", "renovate" homeopathy (as if something necessitates the 'modern revolutionists' in homeopathy and that too without scientific approach). Of course, this tendency is a function of many social trends and drifts which is turning medical profession into an industrial factory, degradation of medical (classical, clinical, not algorithmic) education, the evolution of consumer society and so forth. But also, there is one more reason which contributes to this tendency, i.e. the shortage of deep homeopathic literature that remains within the truly classical homeopathic methodology but considers all contemporary changes in medical, pharmacological, psychological, social and even technological life. The literature that is interesting to read inspires deep thinking, needs to be refe-1 to during practical work, touches the mind of laymen, medical (homeopathic) students and serious medical (homeopathic) professionals. The other aim of this high-quality literature is to connect past and present, to follow insights and thoughts of late homeopathic stalwarts into modern events and transformations that were seen from their experience and practice. This aim is often neglected nowadays, but this is the only concept which forms the real continuity-of understanding, methodology, education, practice and results.

The book "Homeopathy through Harmony and Totality" is based on the material taken from my writings which were published periodically between 1987 and 2019 in national and international journals. These papers were written primarily for myself when I used to experience a lot of difficulties while practicing the intricate science of homeopathy. My writings reflect what a common student like me confronts while venturing as a homeopathic healer. The writings also constitute my notes which I compiled from innumerable sources over the years for the sake of presenting my deliberations which I have been giving in India and abroad.

The truth is that Homeopathy is simple but deep. This premonition of depth makes homeopathy a unique therapy with various possibilities and dimensions. The scientific and artistic side of Homeopathy demands a balance between the two and to strike this balance (in each case) is a challenging task.

Both science and art are the human attempts to understand and describe the world around us. Both are related to knowledge, but it is the art that represents it in the form of subjectivity, while science represents it in the system of acquiring knowledge. In short, art is subjective while science is objective. Art is individualistic and is driven by emotions and self. expression, while the science is driven by facts and figures. Science begins with the physical, observable, concrete occurrences in the world and scientists generate abstractions that communicate their understanding of these phenomena while the artists deal with intellectual creativity, given their talent and skill.
