He also held positions on many Dept. of Health, Royal College of Physician, National and International Renal Associations.

Dr. Raman’s background and upbringing were that of an orthodox Hindu. Living in England provided him with an in-depth vision of life in the western world. This combination has given him a broad-based understanding of the varied cultures and way of life in many parts of the world. Since his retirement, Raman Gokal has been deeply involved in alternative/complementary approaches to healthcare (Yoga, Pranayam, Ayurveda, Quantum frequencies and healing, reflexology, DC microcurreent acupressure, Reiki, etc.) and incorporates these into his teachings, research, and caring/healing philosophy. He is not presently in active-practice, but devotedly continues his lifework through teaching.

Prof. Gokal believes that all religions portray similar ideals – the differences are man-made and the basis of many of today’s worldly problems. He also wants to bridge the divide between ancient wisdom and modern science; his extensive professional and diverse background places him well to do so.

Dr. Raman’s vision,  is to enhance the awareness of who we truly are; that we all are willing and worthy to be healed; and that we are all capable of healing ourselves by letting go of old, entrenched modern beliefs. The doctor is one who teaches his patients how to heal themselves by incorporating holistic, ancient wisdoms into this practice and fulfil ones mission in life.
