What happens when a doctor who works in one of the most demanding fields of modern medicine is also a lifelong meditator?
In Uncharted Artery – Heartfulness Compass, interventional cardiologist Dr. Sharath Reddy writes about how science and spirituality meet in his own life. The book collects his articles first published in the Telugu daily Andhra Jyothi. It shows that the two need not be at odds, and that each can make the other stronger.
Using experiences from the cath lab and from more than two decades of Heartfulness meditation, he asks questions that matter to anyone who wants to be excellent at their work and good as a person:
• What turns ambition into aspiration?
• How does a physician stay clear and steady when lives depend on each decision?
• What keeps a person humble as their skill and recognition grow?
• Why pass on everything you have learned to the next generation?
His answer is simple and hard won. Science gives us great power, and a clear conscience, developed through spiritual practice, makes sure that power serves humanity.
