BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 18, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Rama Pemmaraju Rao, M.D., author of "Make Quilts as Life Gives You Scraps!" (now available through 1stBooks Library) captures the essence of any spiritual path: "We must all become our own guru through life's artful discipleship. As we sew our own unique quilt, we learn that life itself is our teacher and that it indeed provides the necessary cloth scraps for us."
Part I introduces the essence of the spiritual journey, the need for guidance, the importance of gurus, and the great benefit of daily Yoga practice.
Part II captures salient glimpses of Dr. Pemmaraju Rao's mystical and worldly experiences that helped him heal and grow. Through the miraculous compassion of a number of world-renowned meditation masters, other healers and modalities, and his own efforts he has made great progress in healing his wounds of the heart: "the key difficulties that veil joyful enlightenment."
Part III answers questions on spirituality, enlightenment, gurus, and the idea that our true inner Self is experienced as we sew our own quilt.
Rama Pemmaraju Rao, M.D., is a board-certified physician who specializes in internal medicine and psychiatric medicine. He is currently assistant clinical professor at University of Alabama Medical School/Children's Hospital in psychiatry/child psychiatric medicine. He also deals with primary care medical issues as well. He continues to deepen his process in training and education in integrative and complementary medicine. His lifelong goal is to bring the best of East and West into the medical setting, to afford optimal healing. His ultimate vision is to create a broad new paradigm in health and medicine through teaching, education, and through the manifestation of new clinic models that blend the Orient and the Occident.
Dr. Pemmaraju Rao is a native Texan from San Antonio. Dr. Pemmaraju Rao's philosophy of life is that we are forever growing and learning on the path to enlightenment. He feels there is nothing that is "not spiritual" if we simply shift our focus, increase our contemplation and introspection, as well as deepen our insight. Real spirituality, he feels, is truly being one's Self and accepting everything about others and ourselves in every given moment. "We must be who we are and learn and grow from wherever we are." In fact, he feels we are already enlightened. "Ultimately everything reveals itself to us in its own time when we approach and return to God or Source directly within our own beings."
