“The Mylapore Trio” Amarnath, Surendranath, Aparna, Sugathan and Members of Sri Sumukhi Rajasekharan Memorial Foundation conducted the 9th ‘SUMUKHAIVA SADHAS’ – A Virtual Cultural Meet during this extraordinary pandemic situation and lockdown. It was a unique concept and a different conclave involving professionals of different genre. The BIRDS OF “DIFFERENT FEATHERS’’ FLOCKED TOGETHER. A platform was provided to a Speaker to talk on a subject of his/her choice or profession or expertise and the only criterion is, the topic must be correlated to culture and history. This was followed by an interesting questionnaire session which leads to good interaction. Every week audience learns a new subject enabling themselves to become more knowledge-centric.
The 9th Session was conducted on Sunday, 30th August 2020 from 4.15pm to 7.00pm. The Programme began with the Prayer on the Trio's Foster Parents Smt. Sumukhi and Shri. Rajasekharan and their Grand Mother Smt. Nagammal, written and sung by Smt. Revathy Sankkaran.
Surendranth – An Art Director talked about the “Mother’s Hand Touch” on the baby since the topic of the day was on Reiki. He said that Sumukhi Amma’s touch made all of us good citizens in every aspect. Because the mother’s divine touch will make wonders in anybody's life. He said the touch or the grace or the blessings with the hands of Matha, Pitha, Guru and Deivam will make children successful in their lives. Suren shared some anecdotes from their foster parent’s life history.
Amarnath as a History Professor, to be in tune with the topic, shared his bit of information on different systems of medicine. His Ph.D topic was on “Growth of Medical Education in Tamilnadu”, in which he has studied on various Indigenous systems of medicine and in that attempt he had gained some information of Reiki. It was started by Dr. Mikao Usuie who was born in a Buddhist family studied Philosophy, medicine, martial arts and worked in different fields and in various capacities and finally joined a monastery and became a monk. He did penance for 21 days on mount Kurama and on 21st day he had some mystical experience and could see Sanskrit letters in the form of mantra. Then on he gained powers to heal and cure himself and others with transforming energy and positivity through hands. He established his clinic at Tokyo in 1922 and after him, his mission was continued by Dr. Hayasa who in turn transformed to his female disciple Takata. She was the person who took it to the Western world and made it popular. Thus he set the tune for the subject.
Aparna – a Chartered Accountant, introduced the Speaker Smt. Rajasree, who was a talented person but very humble and with a low profile. She holds an M.A., M.Phil., and a B.Ed degree in History, who came to our Foundation some 8 years back with her daughter Shakambari. Aparna said that she has always been very soft and gentle and had cured her and others of their ailments during their tour of historical and cultural places.
The day’s Speaker Smt. Rajasree gave a real eye-opener on two systems of medicines which she had got formally trained and practices at home. Her Topic was “Than Kaiye Thanakkudhavi” (self-cure by self hands). The first one was Rekie, which she presented with interesting pictures and slides to make the talk lively which literally was. she traced the origin of reiki cure to Dr. Mikao Usuoi Sensi. She said that he had his inspiration from India and had visited Kashmir and other places and knew Samskritam. He had also learnt yoga and penance and practised in Japan and that had made him have the mystical experience at mt. kurama and thus was born the Rekei.
She explained about the 7 chakras in human body and the 5 fingers to pancha bhutas. She began with the slokam “karagre vasuthe Lakshmi karamadhye vasuthe Saraswathy karamoole vasuthe Vishunu". She said that when we wake up in the morning, our first look must be our right palm in which the gods reside.
The next system of medicine she explained was “Sojuke” (So-Hand juke-Leg) based on hands and palm cure. She explained that our palms have vital points which are connected to various internal and external organs of our body and when pressed at the right point it activates the particular organ viz., liver, brain, lungs, stomach, head etc. Both our hands and feet have these vital points and when stimulated can cure ailments like headache, stomach pain and other diseases and ailments. She also added that dancers use various mudras which also activates the chakras and vital points and makes the body, mind and soul fit. She also opined that only people with positive energy are destined to attend this Sadhas every week.
Smt. Rajasree’s talk was very interesting and informative. Her talk was an eye-opener on the subject to many people, who very thrilled to see the slides and pictures. Hence she said our palms play a major role in curing, energising, blessing and transforming positive energy to thyself and others.

The audience shooted many questions and she answered them all with confidence. All of them appreciated her calm and collective nature and her clear presentation without much ado and tension.
Sugathan’s Naturo Upaya had something different this time around. He recommended a Homemade – Hand wash Cum sanitiser. He showed the ingredients – cloves, crystal salt, cinnamon and a pinch of turmeric powder, live in a plate and demonstrated the process of preparing it at home which would be useful during this Corona period.
As per the diktat of the Foundation, all the participants were in cream and brown colour to signify ThiruvOnam which is being celebrated on Monday.
The Programme ended with a happy note to meet again next week with a different Speaker and a Topic.
