It has been a long beautiful journey and my yoga teacher is like a friend to me who always guides me in every situation of life by telling beautiful stories. I don’t know when my final destination will arrive but I just have to trust the process and keep this connection alive. 🙏🏼
Experience with my Bitti 💗
The day i started seeing my Maa as my loving bitti. It’s something different I felt. I felt the mother love inside me whenever I sleep . I take my bitti next to me and we both sleep . Firstly I was having expectation from maa that she will solve all my queries and even I was not able to share everything with her. But the day I called her my bitti I can share anything with her without any hesitation.
Urs masi.
Bahut sara pyar Bitti ko.
विश्वास और बदलाव
जीवन का लक्ष्य
धन्यवाद गुरु मां का जो मुझे मेरे लक्ष्य पर चलने लायक बनाया और हर दिन हर पल उस पर चलते रहने के लिए प्रति दिन प्रेरित करते रहती हैं
धन्यवाद उस मां का भी जो 70 मांओं से ज्यादा प्यार करती है और हर गलती को क्षमा करके हमेशा अपनी गोद में समेट लेने को तैयार रहती है
जीवन कैसे जीना है जो भी किताबी बातें हैं उसको वास्तिक तौर पर असल जिंदगी में कैसे लाएं कैसे उस उद्देश्य की प्राप्ति की ओर हर पल अग्रसर हों
मानवीय कमजोरियों को कैसे जीतें कैसे बुद्ध महावीर अपने रास्ते पर चलते होंगे कैसे हम उस ईश्वर को अपने मन में स्थापित करें बजाय मंदिर के
गुरु मां के आशीर्वाद से जो में कल थी वो अब नही हूं और सुख दुख से परे जो आनंदमय है वो है वो है हम सब मैं ही है🙏🌷
Journey to being God
The transition aura.
I got connected with you in 2022, and after that, the changes I experienced in my life, in my nature, in my character, and foremost in my Atma can not be expressed in words.
Earlier, before I came in contact with Maasi, I used to feel that I was doing work, that I was a doer, and that’s why I was suffering. But thanks to Guruji and Maasi, who eroded that illusion.
Now I am with blessing of Maasi just living the present moment without regret of the past and tension of the future, just in my Atma’s aura with Anand, Anand, and Anand
Vartman me rahna seekh rahi hoo

जीवन का सही रहस्य समझ आया 🙏❤️
My journey with yoga began in 2009 when I first encountered a divine soul, whom I lovingly call Didi. It was through her that I truly grasped the significance of yoga and the profound meaning of a Guru. Life became so much simpler and more peaceful once I began practicing morning yoga sessions with her. All enmity and hatred had ceased, replaced by a sense of devotion to the mother and her sect. The true significance of giving had become clear.🙏❤️
एक – यात्रा निष्काम कर्म की ओर
किसी संवेदना या भावना को शब्दों में व्यक्त करना बहुत कठिन है, ठीक वैसे ही जैसे फूल के सुंदरता की आप व्याख्या कर सकते हैं लेकिन सुगंध परिभाषित नहीं कर सकते ।दीदी (माँ) के निर्देश हैं इसलिए जो संवाद में कुछ समझ सका उनकी प्रेरणा से जो अनुभव कर सका वो उन्हीं को समर्पित है-:
जीवन अत्यंत सरल एवं आनंदमय है,ऐसा पढ़ा था पर अनुभव नही किया था ! संसार में रहना कैसे हैं, इच्छाएँ, संयम, कर्म, आत्मा, परमात्मा, धर्म आदि न जाने कितनी व्याख्यायें सुनी ,पढ़ी एवं समझी ,कई संतों के व्याख्यान ,कथा – कहानियों आदि का अध्ययन भी किया पर जीवन में उनको उतारना कैसे है, इसकी समझ नहीं थी ! हम जानकार तो बनते गए परन्तु अपनी व्याख्या के अनुसार! विगत 20 वर्षों से दीदी के संपर्क में रहना एवं पिछले दो वर्षों से प्रति दिन यथासंभव सेशन में बैठना दोनों में बड़ा अंतर था।प्रतिदिन होने वाले संवाद से प्रत्येक विषय को समझने की समझ विकसित हुई या दूसरे तरीके से कहें तो शब्दों की संवेदना का विकास हुआ
मैं जो परिवर्तन अपने अंदर महसूस करता हूँ वह यह है कि मैं पहले की तुलना मे ज्यादा शांत और कर्तव्य निष्ठ महसूस कर रहा हूँ ,मुझे किसी व्यक्ति या समाज से कोई अपेक्षा नही होती है और न ही भविष्य की चिंता है, मैं आज और केवल अभी हूँ ।
यह व्यवहार में आया है निष्काम कर्म के निरंतर मार्गदर्शन से !
व्यवस्था ने मुझे एक प्रशासनिक अधिकारी का दायित्व सौंपा है ,उस कार्य को निष्काम भाव से कैसे करना है ,मेरा आचरण – व्यवहार कैसा होना चाहिए ,यह समझ प्रतिदिन चलने वाले संवाद से ही विकसित हो सकी ।
आज खंडवा (म.प्र. ,भारत ) से सेवाकाल समाप्त करते हुए मैं अपनी नयी पदस्थापना में जा रहा हूँ ,आपको यह जानकर आश्चर्य होगा कि मेरे मन में न किसी से विरोध है ,न किसी से प्रेम है ,न मुझे किसी से कुछ लेना है और न किसी को कुछ देना है , न ईर्ष्या न भविष्य प्रति संदेह, न अपेक्षा, न खोने का दुख ,न कुछ नया पाने की अभिलाषा , मैं स्वयं को सब मे देखने लगा और मेरा अस्तित्व गायब होने लगा। ‘मैं’ का कद कम हुआ जिससे अहंकार कम हुआ और समर्पण बढ़ने लगा शायद यही गीता के निष्काम कर्म के व्यवहार में उतरने की
सीढ़ी है। बस मुझे इतना ही समझ में आया कि मैं आज आनंद और निश्चिंत अनुभव कर रहा हूँ । इसलिए मुझे लगता है कि यह मेरे जीवन की वास्तविक निष्काम कर्म शुरुआत है………!
आगे सदैव उनकी कृपा पर निर्भर🪷
My journey from zero to hero in a spiritual life
नियमित सत्र में भाग लेने से मुझे मानव जीवन के पहलुओं, मानव होने का उद्देश्य, आत्मनिर्भरता का अर्थ, आत्मविश्वास, डॉक्टर होने का वास्तविक कर्तव्य आदि गहराई से समझ में आया.मेरा झूठा अहंकार गायब होने लगाऔर चीजों को लापरवाही से लेने का मेरा रवैया गायब हो गया. दिन-प्रतिदिन के जीवन के साथ अपने व्यवहार में श्रीमद् भगवत गीता जी के तथ्यों को हर पल सीखता और जीता गया . मैंने कई बार सुना है कि भगवत गीता सभी प्रश्नों का उत्तर है, लेकिन माँ के साथ मेरी बातचीत ने मुझे व्यावहारिक रूप से यह सोचने पर मजबूर कर दिया कि कैसे भगवान श्री कृष्ण ने अर्जुन को समझाया होगा कि इस दिव्य आयाम में जीवन को कैसे संभाला जाए। गीता जी में लिखा है कि अरबों-खरबों लोग हैं, जो ईश्वर को पाने के बारे में सोचते हैं और उनमें से भी कुछ ही उस चरम स्तर को प्राप्त करते हैं. परन्तु मुझे पता है कि मेरी माँ के प्रेम,करुणा पूर्ण सानिध्य और मार्गदर्शन से निश्चित रूप से मेरे जीवन में मैं उस स्तर को प्राप्त करुंगा.

नई उमंग नई राह
🙏प्रणाम माँ आपका आशीर्वाद मुझे 2018 से प्राप्त हुआ और आपके साथ रहकर मैंने यही सीखा कि बिना फल की चिंता किये सेवा भाव रखो और करो! अपने मन को ईश्वर के चरणों में लगाओ
जीवन की नई दिशा

आज से लगभग दो साल पहले मैंने इस सेशन को जॉइन किया था। उस समय जीवन को समझने और देखने का नजरिया बिल्कुल अलग था। समय के साथ जीवन के हर पहलू में बदलाव आया है, और अब जीने की सही राह मिल गई है।
एक सबसे बड़ा बदलाव मैं आपके साथ साझा करना चाहूंगी—पहले मैं परमात्मा को मंदिरों में, मूर्तियों में, या आसमान में कहीं दूर स्वर्ग में खोजा करती थी। लेकिन यहाँ आकर मैंने सीखा और अनुभव किया है कि आत्मा ही परमात्मा है, और यह शरीर उन्हीं का धारण किया हुआ है। उनके बिना तो मेरी पलक भी नहीं झपक सकती। अब, सिर्फ संचित कर्मों को पूर्ण करना और ईश्वर से एक हो जाना ही जीवन का अंतिम लक्ष्य बचा है—यहाँ आकर यह सीख मिली है।
आभार।
Sacred New Beginning

It hasn’t been any longer than a month since I started attending the sessions. Back when my parents used to ask me everyday to join the classes, I would just delay it with some excuse because I used to think,” How will listening to story and other’s feed back will help me?” Well, one day I joined the class. I’m grateful to guruji for to stir me up to make a step towards the right direction and I’m so thankful to Maa for giving me this marvelous opportunity.
Maa has been an intrinsic part of my life as long as I can remember. Prior, neither was I efficient enough to understand her teachings perfectly and expound the meaning behind it nor did I treasure it in full measure. However, after attending the sessions, ultimately I now have a better understanding towards life and I’m still learning something new each day. I’m not the same person I was just a month ago and it makes me feel really enliven. Now, whenever I’m stuck in a tight spot, I don’t panic as much any more, feeling tranquil by surrendering all my doubts,fears and worries on her lotus feet.
The story we are told everyday is always distinctive. On top of that, lending an ear to every persons feedback renders the wide horizon on contrasting sense of the story which is contributive in self exploration. My experience has been rejuvenating. And all of this has been possible due to Maa’s unconditional love and never ending kindness and true altruism that everyday we are given a chance to unearth about divinity and unvarnished purpose of life.
Through her enlightening guidance, one day the expedition of soul searching may conclude and we may become one with the eternal diviness.
Yours faithfully,
Sharvi

माँ से मिले आत्मज्ञान के अनमोल पाठ

कोरोना के बाद मेरा माँ से गहरा जुड़ाव हुआ। बचपन से पापा के गुरु के बारे में तो जानकारी थी, लेकिन आत्मज्ञान के विषय में मुझे माँ से ही ज्ञान प्राप्त हुआ। शुरू से ही मन में कई सवाल थे—मेरा जन्म क्यों हुआ? मैं इस दुनिया में क्यों आई हूँ? इन सभी सवालों के जवाब माँ से ही मिले।
माँ ने सिखाया कि वर्तमान में जियो, आनंद में रहो, और नामजप करते रहो। मैंने गुरु को मानने और उनकी बातों को दिल से मानने का महत्व समझा। अब हर काम गुरु को समर्पित करके, उनके निर्देशों पर चलते हुए, मेरा विश्वास लगातार बढ़ता जा रहा है। दिन-ब-दिन ये विश्वास और भी गहरा हो रहा है।
गुरु के सानिध्य में आने से मुझे गौ सेवा करने का अवसर मिला, जिससे न केवल मेरे स्वास्थ्य पर बल्कि मेरे विचारों पर भी बहुत सकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ा।
मैं माँ की हर बात के लिए दिल से आभारी हूँ।
Sahasrani – My Gratitude to Maa

One satsang on life after death changed everything. Maa’s teachings made me drop my suicidal thoughts and embrace life. Meditation sessions with her helped me release negativity, and I felt lighter. Slowly, I started to understand her insights and my spiritual journey began.
Maa’s teachings on “Aham Brahmasmi” and other spiritual truths opened my heart to self-realization. She simplified the essence of the Vedas into five profound sentences, guiding us like a loving teacher. Her wisdom flows endlessly, giving us new insights every time.
Maa embodies compassion, strength, and wisdom. Like Durga, she saves us from falling into the traps of Maya. Like Lakshmi, she teaches us that true wealth lies in love, selflessness, and fearlessness. She is also an embodiment of Guruji’s grace, guiding us with love and patience on the path to self-realization. Her presence is transformative, filling our lives with light, love, and purpose.
“Vasudevaka Kutumbakam” – She always embodies the spirit of giving, as if saying, “Let me give you more.” The deeper we dive, the more wisdom we receive from her. She shares such profound insights that, even if the same story is told daily, she offers new perspectives that surprise and enlighten us. The wisdom we acquire from her is like precious gems, and how much we gain depends on our capacity to receive.
My Maa is Hridayavasini, the embodiment of compassion and love. She never discriminates and leads by example with her discipline and punctuality, inspiring us rather than dictating. Maa embraces everyone with unconditional love, ensuring divine knowledge is accessible to all through recordings and publications. She has nurtured wonderful souls who carry Guruji’s wisdom to us. Maa gave us three flowers—surrender, thankfulness, and forgiveness—helping us cultivate a personal connection with God, making Him reside eternally in our hearts.
I now believe that love is the bridge to God (self-realization) and ego is the wall that distances me from Him. Though I’ve started on the bridge, the wall of ego follows like a shadow, making the journey feel longer. I need to practice greater surrender and faith through love.
I’m deeply grateful to Maa for showing me the path and filling my life with spiritual joy and wisdom. Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts about Maa.
मां के मार्गदर्शन में आत्मज्ञान की ओर कदम
शुरुआत उन्होंने चैरिटी से करवाई, और इसके बाद तो जैसे सब कुछ बहुत आसान हो गया। अपने आप पूरा घर-परिवार संतुलित हो गया। ब्रह्म मुहूर्त और ब्रह्मचर्य भी संभव हो पाया, और इस राह पर चलने से सभी काम अपने आप होते चले जाते हैं। हमें कुछ छोड़ना नहीं पड़ता, सब कुछ अपने आप ही हो जाता है।
थैंक यू सो मच, मां, फॉर एवरीथिंग। हम सब इस यात्रा को बहुत इंजॉय कर रहे हैं, और इसी तरह अपने लक्ष्य की ओर रोज़-रोज़ एक कदम आगे बढ़ रहे हैं।
प्रणाम मां।

Unconditional Love and Inner Growth: My Gratitude to Maa

I used to get angry quickly and react impulsively, but after coming here and practicing what Maa taught, and feeling the unconditional love she has for me, it changed so much. My reactions have slowed down and learned to approach situations with more calmness and awareness.
Maa never asks for anything in return. She only gives—her love, her guidance—without expecting anything back. It doesn’t matter who I am or how I behave, her love remains constant. Whatever I am today is because of her love and support.
I am incredibly grateful to her. Saying “thank you” feels so small in comparison to everything she has done for me, but it’s the best way I know to express my gratitude.

Unconditional Love

Initially, I joined her sessions seeking physical well-being. But as time passed, I noticed something deeper changing within me. Slowly, I found myself drawn towards the spiritual aspect of life. My mental and physical health began improving, but beyond that, I received answers to the question that had troubled me since childhood: “What is the true purpose of life?” Maa gave me that answer. She revealed the real goal of my human birth.
Since then, each day has been a new journey of learning and practice, striving to become the person Maa envisions for me. While I may not have reached that point yet, it’s her unconditional love that draws me back to the class daily. No matter who I am or what mistakes I make, she continues to shower me with love.
I take this moment to ask Maa for forgiveness for my errors and disobedience because, despite everything, all she ever gives me is love. I owe who I am today to her, and I am forever grateful.
Thank you, Maa, for everything.
How Pranayam and God Help Me Feel Calm

I really like doing pranayam now, and I say God’s name while I play. It helps me stay calm when my feelings get really big. I even love to take God with me to school. It makes me feel happy, like I’m never alone!
A Small Step, A Giant Leap

Maa often shares a beautiful quote: “Budhi ki sukshmata hi sakshatkar hai” (The subtlety of intellect is the true realization). Initially, I found this difficult to grasp. But with daily attendance in sessions and sincerely practicing Maa’s teachings, the shift in my perspective has deepened. The intellect’s subtle attachment to I and mine is gradually dissolving, moving steadily towards its ultimate goal—divine realization.
I am profoundly grateful for this journey, not as a series of struggles, but as a beautiful unfolding of experiences that are guiding me towards the Ultimate Truth. It is a path where every small step forward is a giant leap in spiritual growth, filled with love, gratitude, and divine grace.

Finding yourself

Alongside my physical getting better, I could also feel my mind being cleansed and started to see things from a different perspective. These yoga classes have really brought people together; however, it’s through our yoga teacher that I’ve felt that I have been able to open up and heal parts of my past. I used to think, “Why is this happening to only me?” but through the guidance of our yoga teacher, I’ve realized that everyone has felt the same way at some point, which makes me realize I’m not alone. This has helped develop my faith; my God is always with me, and I’m so thankful I’m part of this journey with so many others.

Hanuman ji

I liked the personality of Hanuman Ji gradually, and my faith in Hanuman Ji increased. After attending sessions regularly, I saw many changes like patience, faith, tolerance, and self-control. Buaji (maa) told me about the importance of meditation, which helped me a lot when I was down.
She also talks about the power of subconscious mind. No matter what I did in the past and will do in the future, this matters what I am doing in the present by feeling hanuman ji within me in every situation.
Earlier I felt that I was controlling my mind but I realized that it’s only hanuman ji who is doing everything. I got guruji a chance to get manifested in this human life.
The main problem I have was my thoughts, how can I control them?—but Buaji gave me solution for this and I am following it. Buaji told me to make the personal relationship with hanuman ji and I started talking to him, sharing all my thoughts to him.
first aim of my life is to become one with God.🙏
Unconditional Love

I was in a mental fix and could overcome it, only because of her potent presence. Now, I must say confidently,
‘Only unconditional love can transform the most adamant mind.’
गुरु कृपा

उस शाम मेरे कान मे जो आवाज़ सुनाई दी.
(आज से आपका सारा भार गुरूजी का हुआ)
महसूस करता हूँ, कोई भार नहीं
उस अनुभूति को शब्दों में कैसे व्यक्त करूँ
इतना कहूंगा, देर से सही, इस जीवन के मूल उद्देश्य कि ओर अग्रसर हूँ.
अकारण ही आनंदित हूँ, आभारी हूँ
सादर प्रणाम 🙏

How Maa Helped Me Grow Stronger: A Young Girl’s Journey

Along with this, I also faced issues like difficulty falling asleep on time. I used to stay up until midnight or later, but after attending the sessions, listening to Maa, and reciting the Hanuman Chalisa before bed, I’ve improved my sleep routine.
It has also helped me gain better control over my emotions, especially when it comes to crying and anger.
I am deeply thankful to Maa for guiding me on this journey and helping me grow.

Story time changed life story of the person
I joined in 2021 roughly through my daughter’s friend’s mother. I personally like yoga and meditation. But i could get a chance only to attend story time. From that story, time changed my life story.
Known the truth about real soul.
It changed my life, where all negativity gone.
Gained more confidence and fear about death, etc..
Amma is my special person in my life; she is my real Amma. No words express about her.
Amma always says one thing: we can’t change anyone, but we need to change ourselves first. That change bring change in everyone to be good human being. Amma love is tremendous ❤️ no Words. Amma had equal love on everyone .
That positivity passes every day when we see Amma. That helps whole day to stay in peace 🙏. Learned to live selflessly and with more and more love ❤️.
Love to everyone unconditionally and selflessly and see love in everyone. Guru ,mother and friend everything in my life .Never leave happiness in any situation; you are not alone anymore.
Thank you, Amma💞💞💞
Spirituality – All Inclusiveness

Practice makes Perfect
Like a curious child I always had endless questions in my mind, Where do we come from? What is the purpose of this life? Who created us? Is there a past life or a rebirth? If GOD is the embodiment of love then why bad things happen to good people? If GOD created us why do we get evil thoughts, why would he create us with such a flaw?
I was not hoping to find answers to any of these questions but deep within it was bothering me and making me feel that my life is mundane and I don’t have a real purpose. I wake up every day, do my chores, take care of my family, work, pay bills, eat and sleep. I had a lot of friends, but not a true companion with whom I can share how I really felt about my life. Don’t get me wrong! I am very content with my life, blessed with loving parents, husband and a son (who is definitely an old soul) yet my life lacked meaning.
It was my Grandfather (Mom’s dad) who first taught me how to meditate when I was a child. He had hearing disability and he used to take off the hearing aid machine before meditation. He used to tell me that we all can shut down the noises of the world if we focus on our inner voice and pay attention to the lord’s dance within out heart. After he passed away, I stopped meditating and my only communication with GOD was through prayers.
I meditated again, after a very long time (almost after 20 years) when I joined the yoga class. The sudden bliss, peace and clarity of mind was truly inexplicable. I felt the presence of GOD within me. I felt stupid, I was praying to GOD as though he was light years away from us.. It was like writing a letter to person living in the same house. I was no longer seeking the purpose of my life, as I was just content with living in the moment. I realized that Purpose of my life is just to LIVE. I was emotionally strong, was able to let go, accept and move on with anything thrown at me.
But soon there was another test waiting for me, I firmly believed that there is nothing in this world that I can’t do when GOD is with me. However, what I failed to realise that FAITH works only when I surrender my will to GOD. I was trying to fix my problems on my own will and expecting instant results and miracles. I thought if my intentions are right GOD will help me. He loves me, so he will get me out of my problems. What I did not realise that even a mother lets the baby cry to work up an appetite before feeding the infant. GOD is just making me stronger and he knows what to do and when. But like the ignorant baby, I was crying for my mom and getting restless and dropped the ball again.
I stopped meditating and taking care of myself. I was back to my mundane routine. With my health and stamina deteriorating, I lost my patience and tolerance. I shut myself out from my friends and family. Stopped joining Yoga classes. But my loving GOD drew me back again and set me straight. I had a strong urge to join the Yoga classes again.
I deliberately chose the topic for my Testimonial as “Practice makes Perfect”. We take bath everyday to clean our body, same way we need to meditate everyday to cleanse our soul. This BODY is our temporary abode, where our soul creates an experience called LIFE (it’s like putting on a show) that is witnessed by GOD himself.
Our soul practices the art of living in the moment, with detachment and total surrender in so many lives but get distracted by Maya (illusion of worldly pleasures). However, when we start seeing the beauty of GOD’s creations we will eventually lose interest in man’s creations. We will stop comparing ourselves with others and stop seeking constant validation from society. It takes time, and GOD will definitely guide us there and draw us back in even if we stray away. Like Lord Krishna herds his cattle.
Jai guru ji

God Is With Me
Lockdown was the time when I could not go outside, through online classes she makes me go inside and enhance my spiritual journey by doing yoga and meditation. It has transformed me from pessimist to an optimist person. I am really thankful to Yoga GuruJi for making me realise that I Am Not Alone God Is With Me And There Is Nothing In This World Which I And He Cannot Do Together.
Love and Encouragement
I am sharing my experience of a tough time that I faced during this lockdown. It’s a dull, gloomy and depressing time which is leaving a negative impact on almost all of us, maybe directly or indirectly.
I also faced a difficult time. I got severe gastritis which lasted for almost 3 months. I felft really low at that time. I joined yoga classes. It helped me a lot to come out of this negativity. Now I am back to normal. Many thanks to love and encouragement given by the yoga group.
Gratitude
Since 2019 my friend had been asking me to join the Yog sessions with her but with a job and moving home, I never got a chance to attend. It stayed on my list of ‘want to do’ things. This year with the Co-vid lockdown, the Yog sessions went online. And by God’s grace randomly my God-sent friend mentioned it to me again and I just took up the opportunity of attending them in the comfort of my home. Initially, I was a bit shy since I had not met anyone personally and didn’t know anyone in the online class, but slowly Guruji made me comfortable and the members became like my new family (a bunch of positive people).
While the lockdown depressed most of the people across the world, to me it brought to my life a beautiful opportunity to learn something I have always wanted to. With Guruji’s support, I now believe much more in God and his actions rather than my own. Everything (good or bad) happens for a reason and we don’t see that reason today but God sees it and gives us what we deserve at the moment. I have started seeing life with a more positive attitude and am able to give that positive energy to my family as well. These sessions also brought discipline to my life. During lockdown, I would wake up early each morning and get ready before 9AM. I look forward to ‘surya namaskars’ and to the other exercises every morning, which have become a part of my routine, all week. After Yog, the discussions about our traditions and culture and meditation and story time, is all a learning experience for me.
A big thank you to Guruji and my mentor, for accepting me into the sessions , that too without any expectations, and for bringing so much positivity into my life, each day. These sessions have become a daily dose of medicine full of positivity and faith in God, all what I need before starting my day/week.
Acceptance
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
How very fortunate and blessed I am for being afforded that first step to experience the divinity of this ancient yet timeless practice of Yoga.
The beautiful journey started some three years ago when my wife and daughters, already regular attendees, encouraged me to try Yoga with our esteemed and selfless Guru. The family had perhaps noticed the stresses and strains modern life and pursuit of material wealth was having on me.
That first Tuesday evening session for men-only arrived, a little apprehensive but excited nonetheless, I trundled to her abode and was welcomed with open arms. Having never practiced before, I had some preconceived ideas about Yoga being primarily about Asanas (body postures). Sure enough, the session started with stretches including Surya Namashkar (Sun salutations) and Super Brain Yoga. What followed after, and has ever since, were three additional gems that literally took my breathe away (pun intended):
Breathing Techniques including Kapalbhatti (forceful breathing out) and Anulom Vilom Pranayam (alternate nostril breathing) followed the stretches and calmed the body into a state of bliss.
Meditation including Shav Asana (dead body state) and Chakra (seven-centers meditation) followed, calming the mind into a state of oneness.
Stories of compassion, faith, charity and selflessness was woven like a beautiful tapestry throughout the session, uplifting us on the spiritual path too.
What a genuinely positive experience for a non-practioner. Words are failing me to articulate how Yoga with our revered Guru has benefitted not only me personally but also people around me. I have never looked back since that first session.
Compassion, detachment, patience and oneness are only a few of the qualities we continue to develop through this spiritual Yoga journey. However, if there was one over-arching word that I would use to sum-up what Yoga has brought to my family and I, it is Acceptance.
Thank you all for reading this testimonial.
As our Guru would say, Love and Light.
Best experience of Lockdown – Enlightenment through
Although I have been attending these Yoga and meditation classes for nearly eleven years, but this one was a completely different experience for me. May be I was more regular like never before. Everyday dose of Yoga with meditation, followed by spiritual discourse helped me not only be more active and fit during those tough times, but also infused me and my family with a lot of positivity. During these classes, through various stories( Shabri and Rabia Basri) from different religions, we learnt the same thing-God reciprocates if we love Him with true heart and devotion. Our teacher also emphasized the importance of meditation in Brahma mahurat (3 am to 6 am) and the complete surrender to His Divine will. She reiterated every lesson about forgiving those who have hurt you and to seek forgiveness if you have hurt someone. She further guided us that although it’s not easy, but if we meditate regularly and seek His help, He will certainly help us, as declared by Shri Krishna Himself in Bhagwat Geeta:
« sarvasya chāhaṁ hṛidi sanniviṣhṭo
mattaḥ smṛitir jñānam apohanaṁ cha
vedaiśh cha sarvair aham eva vedyo
vedānta-kṛid veda-vid eva chāham »
Translations : I am seated in the hearts of all living beings, and from Me come memory, knowledge, as well as forgetfulness. I alone am to be known by all the Vedas, am the author of the Vedānt, and the knower of the meaning of the Vedas.
We also learnt about the importance of charity and how it should be done. As explained by her in simple words that even your left hand shouldn’t know if your right hand is doing some charity. Isn’t it what is written in Holy Bible too. All our different religions have professed highly about the importance of charity in their scriptures. ‘Vand Ke Chako – To share the fruits of one’s labour with others before considering oneself.’ is one of the key teachings of Guru Nanak Dev ji. Every class reflects upon the teachings from different religions and binds us together with the love of humanity. Little children and young teenagers gets a strong character building platform for the new generation.
Teachings of Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta, Holy Quran, Holy Bible and Guru Granth Sahib all under one roof- our Yoga class. I am truly blessed to be part of this lovely class (our pyara pariwar) and grateful to my teacher for enlightening us on this path of spiritual journey.

My Blissful Journey
If broken by an inside force life begins
Great things always begin form the inside
This is a quote from one of my favourite book “Limitless” by Jim Kwik.
I was 6 years old when I first stepped on a meditation mat. So yes , mediation came into life quite early. My Aunt is a practiced yoga teacher and she kindly invited us to join her. I was intrigued by all the strange positions she was doing. I went to the lesson and discovered that these strange positions were in fact a way of calming the body and feeling relaxed and stress free. At the end of the sessions she asked us to sit in a Lotus position, a cross-legged sitting positions, and she asked to exhale and inhale slowly. She also had a singing bowl which she played by tapping it with a mallet. The sound the bowl made sent vibrations all around the room it was absolutely mesmerising. Concentrating on the bowl, especially the pulses of sound as they become quieter and quieter, allowed me to bring the mind into focus. I remember leaving that class with a feeling of relaxation and calmness.
At that time I did not know the real meaning of meditation or how it could make an impact on my life. However now having practiced meditation for past 6years, before going to bed every night, I understand the real meaning of meditation and the many benefits it can have for my body. Meditation has trained my mind to be creative, focus and to stay calm in every situation. I have increased awareness and appreciation of nature surrounding me and it also really helped me to get through my entrance exams.
Thanks to my Aunt for showing me the path of spirituality through meditation and teaching me to have complete faith and to be fearless by feeling the presence of God by conscious breathing and concentrating the mind on the present moment which is helping me to develop powerful muscles of calm and insight.
I want to finish this with another inspiring quote:
Go within everyday and find the inner strength so that the world will not blow your candle out.
Live in Present Moment
Then came a deadly virus and the world turned upside down and so is my life too. i being in an airline industry and the world went in total lockdown with all airports shut down, it affected works of many people including me. worries started grabbing my peace and slowly i was pushed to mental stress and depression mode.
Here comes the YOG guru as a great help sent by god.
she actually is my friend and classmate, practicing yog and meditation since many years and use to keep posting her thoughts and lectures very often in our social media group but i very less bothered to pay attention and follow it.
she use to conduct yog & meditation classes at her home and many people joined and got benefited to it. since lock down occurred, they started conducting it online and she suggested me to join and i agreed. i enjoyed the session and felt relaxed d very first day and continued to join regularly. to my surprise, positive energy started bouncing under me and within a weeks time negative thoughts stopped distracting me. now we all family started joining and and getting benefited to it daily. the one hour yoga & meditation and 1hr story and feedback session has become a part of our daily routine since april.
The motivational and spiritual stories irrespective of any religion by yoga teacher leaves a big impression on our thoughts daily which helps everyone of attendies to think within and improve our thoughts day by day.some of the key and positive words always repeated by teacher are..
1..you are not alone god is with you
2..God loves you 70 times more than your mother
3..there is nothing you cant do with the help of god
4.. live in present moment
5…always be positive and have full faith in god
6..forgive, forgive, forgive and forget.
It has become a routine to attend the yog class now and cant afford to miss it. it helped specially me to dive within myself and think positively and spiritually and now i started believing god more than before and with full faith in him. i definitely is feeling much better and trying to keep positive always despite the working conditions still has not come back to normal.
yog as we all know keeps us healthy and energetic which i started to practice daily only due to our mentor, teacher, guru and a dear classmate of mine. i whole heartedly thank her for this noble selfless service & cause and helping me to start a new journey of being positive and always thankful to God live in present moment.
Journey of Union
Physically, These classes helped me to get rid of hormonal imbalance problems. I was under the impression that Yoga was about physical and mental well being till that time. However these classes totally changed my opinion. I have slowly started realising the spiritual aspects of Yoga. The classes helped me to think and stay positive. I have learnt that we should lead this life without any expectations and don’t try to judge others. I came to know the importance of charity in more depth. The stories and prayers recited during these classes are truly awakening. I have learnt that all faiths lead to the same almighty and feel his presence by repeating his name.
The online classes helped me greatly to still participate and progress further, even after we moved to a different county. Overall these sessions are helping me to become a better human being.
Always Be Positive
Redefining oneself
Little did I know that I was embarking on a journey which was greater than just the body fitness. In this class I came to know that Yoga is a practise of peace and connectivity: in my mind, with my body, and with everything else around me. Our yoga teacher who is our true spiritual guru helps us ponder and search within ourselves for a place of balance between self-acceptance, forgiveness and letting go of negativity and past, the challenge to build oneself back up, the mind and the body, in a positive-peaceful way.
I never imagined that meeting oneself in inner dialogue is the key. This ability to turn inwards and rely on one self ( Soul Strength- the strength of the Almighty) as the biggest support is a sensitive process integral to the road towards healing from the worldly wear & tear which we are exposed to on a daily basis.
In each spiritual-yog session we hear or share stories from all faiths with the spiritual essence and the members share their own life experiences too. Alongside this the guided meditation, healing chants and music does wonders within.
I’ve realised and accept that, as educated people we have so far lived life of mere literates not knowing there is illimitable to learn and a great deal of work to be done to better oneself as a human being ………..by redefining oneself.
I’m sure we all will progress well in this spiritual journey.
I am so thankful to the Almighty for bringing me to our teacher.🙏
Lifestyle
About 5 months ago during my routine health checkup I was diagnosed with hipertension and my surgery was no willing to leave me without medication. Upon repeated request, I was given 4 weeks time and report back. Next day, I went to the Yog teacher. Even though she is a qualified and experienced doctor, she believes the science and technology behind Yog to be far superior to the modern medicine. She went through my daily routine diagonosis and recommended the due enhancements supplemented with the asan and pranayaam. The root cause was going to bed late added with work place anxiety. That’s all and in 6 weeks time I am back to normal. She did explain me the significance of biological clock and how living in the cycle of sun keeps you healthy and fit. I sleep well, do my asan and pranayaam and I am totally enjoying my health. Though, what she prescribes and asan and pranayaam seems very simple and doesn’t seem believeable but once I followed it, it worked like magic. She always says that but you need to follow it to understand it in true sense. With the asan and pranayaam, walking the path, follwing the routine, is very important to see the true differnce in your life.
Incidentally, after the COVID19 lockdown, the session became online and I did get the opportunity to join it regularly. The first difference I realised was that now we were not restricted by space everyone could join with their families. Second difference I realised was that the Saturday sessions were actually cut short version and only included an hour of asan and pranayaam. Actual weekday sessions came with the coplete package of satsang on top of asan and pranayaam and ran for 2 hours. This additional session helped me understand the deep philosphies behind meditation, mantra and othere spiritual aspects. The story sessions are simply awsome and the question answer session is real eye opener. I realise that following the path of yog – Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayam, Pratyahar, Dhyan, Dharna, Samadhi, is actually the way of life – a complete change in mindset, lifestyle. It impacts you at every level, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
I thank you for setting us on the path of spirituality.
A Second Mother
This is the first time I am writing on this platform thus I would like to introduce myself first in brief before moving ahead to write on my Second Mother & her influence on me that brought positivity in my life.
I am a resident of Nagpur, India. Happily married having two sons. A Home Manager & after taking care of my famiy & managing all my home responsibilities I try my best to do good for the Society, the underprivileged, the differently able in whatever possible way I can just as a gesture to forward a little bit to others from what Good Life has offered to me.
Now coming back on the subject which is more important rather than writing on self.
MOTHER… Everyone knows that Mother needs no introduction & no quantum of words can describe “MOTHER” even if anyone tries to. I deeply love my Mother whom I lost in mid of 2014.
Aapa [ Aapa is a Urdu word for Sister ] is with me since my marriage. Going by worldly relations she is my Sister In Law but that is not all. She is a Teacher, a Friend, a Philosopher, a Guide, a Mentor & much much more… infact I am short of words. I admire her the most.
I will not tell that life has been very cruel to me most of the time because I know that it has been very cruel to many many others in this huge world but I had a lot of pains and sufferings as a part & parcel of my life. I have a Great belief in God. Whenever anything went wrong I told myself let it be, God is there & He will make things okay for me & care for me. People used me like a disposable stuff. Aapa is the one person who had always be with me after my marriage though physically we live far away from each other. Whenever I had a Bad day after marriage I used to cry a lot & pray to God. I don’t know how but within hurts, I used to receive call from Aapa & she used to make me comfortable, not less than a miracle.
Life moved on & as time passed away her position in my life changed. She continued to inspire me, motivate me, care for me, love me, put courage in me, fill positivity in me. She did a lot to change my life to Better that is why she is too special to me.
Present Scenario…… I too have my own health issues since years as everyone has some or the other issues in life but last two months were too horrible for me. Since 1st August when I was admitted to Hospital for a day my world was turned upside down both mentally & physically. I was in a depression like situation with unknown fears that kept haunting me like anything. It followed by Sleepless nights, loss of appetite, Anxiety, Frustration, Interest in nothing and more. I was completely blank to understand what was happening to me. Doctor’s help also was of no help to me as they too were not finding anything problematic in me. Again where everyone failed Aapa did a miracle for me. She repeatedly convinced me that nothing is wrong with me. I just need to throw out the fear from my mind, relax, keep calm & most importantly believe in God. She further advised me to join her Online Yoga classes even though my physical fitness was not allowing me to perform yoga. She advised me to have meditation, throw out the unnecessary stuff from my mind and heart… just adopt the policy of forgive & forget. Don’t think what others are saying or commenting on me, just be yourself & live the way you love to.
I simply followed her with no questions asked & today though I am not completely okay I am feeling much better. I will keep following her. Everyone needs a helping hand & love in life. I am more than happy to have Aapa in my life & wish everyone should have their own Aapa.
After my Mother got married me @ Nagpur the lovable person who cared for me as a Mother is none other than Aapa….. that is why I call her “MY SECOND MOTHER”
I Love And Respect Her A Lot.
Faith Recharged
After joining her classes on a friends recommendation, I became pregnant with my second child which was again loaded with medical complications. She just said believe in self-healing, I had to believe in those genuine words and reassuring eyes. Throughout my pregnancy this yoga class and the yog family’s love and care kept me going. I can never forget the massages that the teacher gave me and tons of positive energies and reassuring words.
My hubby and me decided to move town when I was 8 months pregnant. It was so tough situation to leave the teacher who taught me to believe in myself and believe in God. But the teaching didn’t go waste. My family started to settle down slowly in the new town, when my baby decided to come out to this world a bit early. Because it was 4 weeks early , my parents couldn’t reach me at the time of the baby birth. I completely surrender my body and mind to God and that kept me cool , I did the complete pain management with just “Naam Jap” and tense machine. A friend arrived from another town like god sent angel to help deliver my baby. All the help and support that I needed for that moment came to me just like magic from nowhere. The midwife seemed like Sakshath Dhurga Maatha to me, such an easy delivery it was, and lying on my lap was god in infant’s form. He was born on Guru Poornima, and teacher said Shiva’s name would be perfect and we named him Aruban (Shiva with no roop). Such a blissful moment it was. I believed in my teachers words , I believed in God and I believed in myself and everything happened on its own. It was absolute miracle. Not only this when ever I do a complete surrender there is literally nothing on earth that me and God can’t do together, even though I have experienced this a few times, doing this every moment is the greatest challenge that I am working on.
After meeting this special person, I have changed my lifestyle a lot. I try to bring my thoughts back to God when my mind tries to go on never ending overthinking loops which actually made me sick physically as well. I would be scared to be inside the house or out on the streets. Fear has drastically reduced because she says that fear distances us from God, Why fear when he is here. I try to remember this every time I need. Relationships improved because of less expectations and unconditional love, which really surprised me, I realised that we actually expect the most from people whom we love so dearly. And that love is not a true love at all.
I let go lot of previous disputes that was going on for decades in my mind which have actually spared a lot of space in my head now, surrender everything and be free. Every time I made a conscious effort to cut my ego, I could actually see in front of my eyes that I was becoming a better person, first imagining it and then regular practice works a lot for me.
Living in the present moment while cooking cleaning etc , naam jap, keerath kar, just helped to keep my mind without any thoughts. Filling my heart with love rather than judgements made many many things easier and simpler in my life. I realised that when ever I felt uncomfortable it was only because of my own negatives and not because of others. Forgiving and forgetting have brought in lot of peace in day to day life.
This lockdown especially was a gem that I could never have afforded to have missed, I believe God has been immensely merciful on me to forgive all my sins and for giving me another big opportunity to listen to my teachers words. This lockdown especially has brought back my physical and mental health, I am feeling more enthusiastic, calm and grounded. I don’t know what is right things or wrong things I’m doing, but I have faith that god will show me the way and I will work hard to give my everything to God and remember him when my soul leaves the body.
A Divine Soul
Being in different worlds; we hardly were connected… when suddenly my friend, my batch-mate called me on phone and it all came up… the memories, the friendship, the joy when we were in MBBS. I told her my problem of single handedly managing my two college going kids, running a clinic, the brunt of life when she suggested me to join her ongoing online yoga and meditation classes.
Initially, I was hesitant as it was new to me, but my faith on my friend drove me to the class and then there was no looking back. My friend, a pure soul, (I never imagined) takes her classes with such interest and zest as if it is a ritual, a sadhna or bhakti for her.
The love which she puts in her class is beyond words – the yoga exercises with which she sings hymns, prayers are just another world. It makes all asanas simple and enjoyable.
She applies her medical knowledge to all asanas and tells us about its advantages, be it vajrasan or the pelvic floor asanas. All have benefits attached to them. So many as digestion / hormonal problems, arthritis of her students have been cured of their diseases with those asanas and pranayaam.
Second round comes meditation (seven center meditation). It is so peaceful / enlightening as deed of godliness, soul searching, experience where seven centers Mooladhaar, Swadhisthaan, Manipur, Anahat, Vishuddhi, Aagya and Sahastrar with a divine trip to God and back is performed so perfectly that my heart blesses her every day and tears roll down my cheek every day.
She silently makes us meet our kids, parents, ancestors and the God himself. It is all so heavenly and one can only experience that in her class. Her words still vibrate in me
thousand petal lotus
70 times love, more than your mother
God with you
we are not alone
focus in present
forgive and forget
and ending with patience, tolerance, detachment, control of emotion, faith, unconditional love.
Third round is story telling. All stories are small, beautiful, teaches us lessons of life and tips to lead serene, joyous and independent lives – it all leads to path of following Guru. How we can be a happy, peaceful, divine soul if we can follow instructions of Guru.
We always need a spiritual Guru as we need a teacher in our student lives to attain degrees. Similarly, a true and divine Guru can only pave the path towards virtues of life. He can show the path to oneness with God.
I thank my Guru (my friend) to hold my hand at this juncture of life where I terribly needed someone. The more I thank her will be lesser in words.
I wish her whole heartedly blessings, love, strength in her spiritual journey and I wish all friends who have joined hands in this true love and blessings.
Surrender to the Guru and rejoice life, my friends. Love you my friend, my Guru 🙏
1. गुरू गोविन्द दोऊ खड़े, काके लागूं पांय।
2. बलिहारी गुरू अपने गोविन्द दियो बताय।।
The Feedback
Like every story without its ending is unfinished, similarly my divine yoga session without a review is not complete. Let me tell you about the feedback session – everyone is eager to give their feedback as quickly so as to resume their day with as vigour of energy Guru leaves them with after completing yoga, meditation and story session. Feedback session is so lovely that even if you have missed the entire yoga session of that day, you can get the gist, blessing, prasad of the Guru through it.
You get to know everyone’s doubts, find sights fore sights and everybody’s vision and perception of the session of that day. Few elders come forward with their views and add to more knowledge to the session. Thanks to them.
Lovely is the part where some kids too attend and give feedback and even display their extra curricular hobbies like playing Veena, reciting poem, singing bhajan, reciting slokas. Love and bless them.
Persons from different culture, religions too participate in the session whole heartedly. Sing bhajans, kirtans. Serve the society that you can’t stop yourself to love, bless them endlessly (GBU). All festivals and functions are also celebrated here with all the love. Few naive and innocent questions too come up which makes the whole session light and comic too. Some not so regular students are also there (eid ka chand – Guru calls them). They too add to queries, doubts and questions to Guru’s session.
The Guru calmly listens to everyone’s queries, doubts (without any anxiety or even a frown crossing her brows) and to utter disbelieve she removes everyone’s problems, anxiety, doubts as many times as asked. Sometimes, even without telling her, she comes forward and enquires about their well being and solves their problem. Furthermore, she encourages everyone to come forward with their questions so as to bless them with answers.
Being a MD, MRCP Medicine herself she even treats their ailments with yoga and uses lifestyle modification – even personally sees to it that they get their medicine (life saving drugs) through contacts in the session. She sees your wellbeing in toto – physical, mental, emotional development. She reaches out to you willingly to engulf your problems and bless you with an envelope of light within and around.
God bless her, the divine soul. The world will be a better place with her teachings and blessings. I try not to miss lovely sessions of this small, power packed, smiling divine soul (my friend and family). Bless you from every cell of my body and energy droplet of my blood.
त्वमेव माता च पिता त्वमेव ।

Vrindavan- An experience
When we land on our Mother land, breath the first bout, the dusty streets and jolly waters make us rejoice. The same happened when I saw Barsana. I felt that I was lost in a mob of time and space, and then I felt my roots, fostering in the transcendental soils. Palpitations of happiness conquered me. The view made me dumb, neither the vocabulary nor the hymns could adorn the event. I was merged with the experience. Even, at this moment, I do not have the words to elucidate it….. When I was lying down, I was feeling that I was standing at the grand main gate to Vrindavan, and my heart was calling Krishna. As Sudama Ji stood at the gate, my heart was undergoing the same fate.
I became conscious about the time zone, and suddenly found the time to be 1.30 in midnight. I was conscious about the phone call all the time, and finally the call arrived. I felt lost in Infinity.
Just before the second visit, I saw that Rama Ji, Krishna Ji and I are sitting near a well. And, in the true visit as well, in Barsana, my friends showed me the temple premises, which had a well like closet.
When I saw Krishna in the temple, I felt that He was the true Krishna I know. But, when I saw the photograph, my visualization of Krishna, and Krishna inscribed in the idol were bit different. But, I felt the true Krishna there.
When they went to Vrindavan and entered in the temple, they picked up some divine ashes from the alter and smeared on their foreheads. They even applied some to me, on phone itself. We participated in the aarti and saw Him, not as an idol, the real One. When I saw the orchards of tulsi which transform into Gopis and Krishna every night, I saw Him twice. The experience cannot be elucidated.
Suddenly, I lost the phone call. I tried again, and experienced the Darshan again. The blessings of Radha Rani and Krishna cherished my heart with Divine majestic visions of the Holy.
When we went to another grand temple, the pompous outlook didn’t allow me to feel the Oneness, as I felt in Barsana and Vrindavan. It was just like a mall, full of decorations, but empty with respect to love.

Positive Energy
Bliss on the deathbed

In August 2020, I was the first one, amongst the family members, to be infested by the Novel Corona virus. I got admitted in the hospital, for ensuring some precautions, as being positive for a contagious disease, might infect others as well. During the entire segment of time, I was not scared for the grave comorbidities, I could face, and could row my sail, across the seas, chanting Thy Name. Even in the hospital, I had to stay awake and aware for about forty-eight hours, for surveilling a big operation, for catching some crooks crackling in the city.
During the entire course, guidance of a great being helped me the most. Her words still resonate in my mind, I would like to share it. “Didi, just remember that you are neither the physical body nor the mind, but soul yourself. If Lord wants you to go to Him, to His abode, then welcome it wholeheartedly, your sufferings in this birth were extinguished beyond that breathe. If Lord wishes to work through your form, serving the citizens, then you shall be healed and return back hail and hearty, back to the vocation.” These words pumped up my mercury levels of enthusiasm to hundred percent, and I felt the presence of the Divine, and through faith in the words of the Guru, I became aerobicized again. I didn’t rely on the artificial oxygen sources or oxygen concentrators, only few basic breathing exercises, like KapalBhati, AnulomVilom Pranayams, and changed dietary habits, steam inhalation, using herbs and powders good for throat, brought me back from the hospital.
In progression, in April 2021, I got the news regarding the sinking states of health of my parents, brother, sister-in-law, and my nephew. When they all were tested via RT-PCR, the reports snoozed, indicating to be positive. As severe breathlessness had subdued the drive for life, my Mother and my brother were admitted to the government hospital, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, and were placed under oxygen support. The next day, my father was unable to cope up with the growing fatigue and dyspnea, he was also admitted to the hospital. Ordinary oxygen support could not quench the grave needs of father’s body, and he was shifted to the heavy oxygen support, in ventilator, under intensive care. In congruency, Mother’s health, too, became sublime, and was also shifted to I.C.U.. I left Bhopal, for Jabalpur, for if I could serve them, being available physically. But, on the same night, father breathed his last, in the I.C.U., on 30th April 2021. My Mother and brother were in the hospital, sister-in-law and my nephew were struggling with mild symptoms, and I was travelling blandly, remembering Thy Name. I was not alone, Her words echoed in my ears, and reminded me- “Feel God to be with you. Your God is within you. There is nothing in this world which I and He cannot do together.”
With ultimate faith, awareness, and ‘consciously’, I performed the last rituals of cremation. In the holy month of Ramazaan, on the day of holy Friday (Juma), in the Brahma Muhurta, He left His physical form, and surely united with the Infinity; attained Salvation. She explained the elaborate significance of such a holy time, and surely would have been redeemed from the cycles of births and rebirths. Her words are like an ambrosia, which makes our faith on Lord, sweet and full of aroma, bringing water in our ‘minds’, for attaining Salvation, by dying this very moment. It is fun, if we unite with the Infinity, and are freed from the responsibility of hanging upside down, for nine months in Mother’s womb, birth after birth.
My brother coped up with the illness, and returned back home, from the hospital. My Mother, was still in the I.C.U., and could feel the lose of father, by intuition. Her health was dwindling, but under Her guidance, I spoke about the demise of father, with courage and faith, to Mother. With a stupefying innateness, She accepted the fact.
After two days, She was shifted to the general ward, but was relying on oxygen support. I got some opportunity to serve Mother, during the day I used to stay with Her, taking care of Her basic needs. I got a chance to contemplate over disease, senescence, and demise. I could acknowledge the destructible and mortal nature of this aggregate of five elements. “I might also be lying on my deathbed soon, but I should remain in remembrance of the Divine, till the breaths sublime to zero.”
Mother’s health did not show increment in the graphical patterns. They were staggered. She used to wail and whine all day, and expected to be taken care of at each dwindling breathe, She asked for assistance from the doctor, whenever She was very restless. I used to ask my Mentor if I could turn the knob to zero, cutting off the oxygen supply, for She may be freed from the physical form, for ever. But, my guide said-“If She is not ready to renounce the body, then we can’t force Her, She would undergo terrible pain while leaving the form. We can’t force Her to do so, but we can serve Her till Her last breathe.” With innateness, I accepted the words, and without planning for the future, I ‘could’ serve Her. I always tried to remember the Divine presence, at each breathe. Breathe became my rosary.
On 9th May 2021, it was the occasion of Mother’s Day. I spoke about the waning health of my Mother, to my Mentor. She said-“Didi, When She is in conscious state, ask Her if She is willing to help a young person, with oxygen and bed. Ask Her if She is keen for uniting with Her deity, free from all the physical sufferings.” I accepted the words, in their pureness, and asked Mother the same. She answered that if God takes Her with Him, then She was ready. I asked Her the same, many times to know Her real mental status, She agreed with great submission. I turned off the oxygen supply. For about twelve hours, She didn’t panic and remained in Divine remembrance, chanted “SitaRama, SitaRama….”. Even in the grave bouts of pain, She didn’t call for the doctor, and bore it with valor. Chanting and recitation of Mahamrityunjaya Mantra went on, ceaselessly. I fasted for Her smooth journey to Salvation, and kept on praying to Lord, for helping Her slip into Tranquility, with peace. On 10th April 2021, in Brahma Muhurta, at about 4.15 a.m., She breathed Her last. Before leaving the physical abode, She was aware, and asked for any kind of formalities, left for Her to be completed, as a part of Her responsibility. She was asked to take rest. With a superlative degree of innocence, She asked that if She could die there after. Her nephew asked Her to take rest. In this way, in the state of consciousness, contemplating the words “SitaRama”, She left Her body, and united with the Eternity.
In this entire set of narrations, I have highlighted Her words, placing them in double quotes, as they are not merely the enunciations of a teacher, but the sayings of Power, which always kept my mercury levels of faith, trust and enthusiasm at optimum levels. If all of us comprehend these sayings with a pure heart, we may be able to attain Salvation, this very moment. Obedience renders Bliss, even on the deathbed.
Faith and surrender

During my spiritual journey with my mentor, I learned the importance of charity, faith, surrender, universal oneness and many more such pillars. I was trying to embrace these slowly and slowly inside me. Hardly do I knew that soon my faith and surrenderance will be tested
My didi tested COVID positive on 19th April and she was doing fine at home, taking her prescribed medicine. On the weekend, her oxygen levels dropped and she went to the doctor for consultation, where she was admitted in the hospital (don’t even know why).
And here starts the test of my faith. I called my mentor and mentioned the situation and I was told she will be fine… after 2 days we have to move her to different hospital due to lack of oxygen there and by the time we moved didi to other place, her condition deteriorated on the way and she was put on external ventilator. That was the first time I broke down over the phone with my mentor and she asked me to promise not to cry and chant the mahamrityunjaya mantra, those words acted like fuel in my machinery.
After that started a roller coaster ride… with ups like oxygen levels 92 to lows like oxygen level to 15 but my faith over my mentor never ever juggled.As soon as the readings dropped, I just sat down and start chanting mantras and didi always stabilised quickly.. it kept going for almost 2 weeks.
Then came the big day. Her BP shoot and doc has to give her anti anxiety. After 4 hrs, her oxygen level dropped to 30.
I just started my prayers as it was Brahm Muhurat. I chanted for almost 2 hrs and she was at oxygen level 57 but my faith never moved. I dropped my daughter to school and came back and started to chant again.
At 9.30 got the most difficult call from there that her pulse is missing. For a second, I was frozen. Then immediately called my mentor and she said just chant mahamrityunjaya mantra. Docs, nurses and the kids kept on trying and me chanting. Then again got a call from my mentor and she said let’s all pray for her final journey. I didn’t say a word and with faith, that whatever is happening, happening for a reason, I kept on chanting. Such a blessed soul my didi was that along with me, my mentor, whole of my pyara pariwar was praying during her final minutes. I am sure she left in peace as she was in arms of her 3 kids.
I lost my father 14 years back and I lost her 4 days ago but my dealing during both the phases is absolutely different. As my mentor says if we cry for the departed soul, it’s makes it much more difficult for them to start their final journey.
I had faith when it was said, she will be fine and I had faith when I was asked to pray during her final moments. I am not saying that I didn’t cry after that but even when cried, I prayed for her soul to become one with lord.
Thank you to my mentor for instilling it in us. Thank you to everyone who prayed for her recovery and who all prayed during her final moments and who are all being pillar of support for us now. 🙏❤️
“A good heart has stopped beating, a good soul ascended to be with lord. Loved you too much and we lost our battle to save you. Didi, today you’re not where you were, but you will always be in our heart. You have always been the first princess of the family and will always be 💕God rest you in his arms.”
Clarity in Mind

Yoga for the Soul

One fine day, I got the opportunity to join the YOGA SESSION (feeling divinely blessed) under my Mentor’s divine guidance. From that day onwards to this day (a short journey of couple of months) my majority of the health issues have completely disappeared. Now I have to think twice about what the pain was like. With full FAITH in Her each word, the transformation was a Miracle. It is rightly said that MIND is the cause of all DIS-EASES (Mental, emotional, physical and spiritual DIS-EASE). So, SURRENDER your mind to your Guru for the EASE from all the DIS-EASES.
The true meaning of Yoga as given by Her is ‘The Union of Self with the Divine’. But in layman’s terms it means bending our body in different postures (asanas). The true Union comes only when you accept your GURU’S guidance, word to word with full FAITH, HUMBLENESS AND OBEDIENCE. Unless the body is physically fit, the mind goes to all the aches and pains. Thus, yoga and pranayam is a part of the Session where She explains how it should be done and its benefits physically and more importantly SPIRITUALLY.
The real Yoga as enlightened by Her in these sessions is the YOGA OF THE SOUL. Some of the teachings for attaining true goal are —
Live in the present moment
Forgive and forget
Detachment
Constant Naam jap (feeling HIS presence)
Charity
Meditation at Brahma Muharat and Godhuli Bela
Not to be judgemental, etc.
Universal ONENESS
The most important – SURRENDER . Once we surrender, then there are no Ifs and Buts.
I don’t have enough words to express my GRATITUDE to my Mentor for hand-holding me and many more like me in this spiritual journey.

Yoga My Biggest Blessing
Lot of kind souls here have already shared about the wonderful teachings, principles and the way they feel once they start doing the session etc. Am going to share my life story, the two years of Yoga life (2015-2017) how it transformed my life.
My name is Rekha. I moved to London in 2014 due to husband’s work and personally I was going through a very bad phase at that time. We have been trying for baby for around 5 years and moving away from India, not knowing much about health care system in UK terrified me. Though me and my husband used to visit all touristy spots in the weekend and have fun the moment when Monday comes I will be back to being lonely & the thought of not having a kid at home will start to haunt me. I tried diverting myself and luckily one day in 2015 August my neighbour/dear friend Archana asked if am willing to accompany her to a yoga class that is happening in our adjacent street. Though I moved to that apartment in Aug-2014 until Aug-2015 I never knew about our Guru ji or her yoga sessions. I have always been spiritual, have learnt shlokas from my Mom, I do pujas and a great believer of Shird Sai. However I have never made the effort to go beyond chanting or praying. The first day of the yoga session I did asanas that the teacher asked us to do and once the session was over she asked all of the attendees to sit on a circle and hold each other’s hand. Unknowingly I started shedding tears. I couldn’t control it. Post marriage wherever I go peopel would ask me whether am i working, do I have kids or if am doing any kind of business from home etc etc. Be it birthday parties, marriage, any family functions I used to avoid fearing these constant nagging questions. To be honest I never felt included in a crowd and have always been judged. For the first time that day the Yoga family with their open heart welcomed me and the Guru ji listened to my infertility story patiently. She said God knows when to give his blessing. Trust Him and start believing Him without any expectations. That day my inner transformation slowly began. Until then I have never thought about Mind, Body, Soul connection.
I still remember during the inital days of Yoga I used to be very apprehensive about expressing my views or interacting with others. I used to feel inferior for not knowing Hindi, for not being able to communicate well with others in their native language. Later when I close my eyes and listen to Guru ji’s words during meditation even if it was Hindi I could somehow grasp the complete essence of her teachings. The things that I have done which I was not proud of, small disagreements with family, ego clashes with friends & relatives and all the negative vibes, guilt feeling of my past filled my thoughts while meditating. Then slowly on listening to Guru ji’s words I decided not to keep poking the wound knowing it will be painful..Thats the analogy she gave us when we asked questions about our past affecting the present. I started to live in present as per her words, her faith and postitivity kept me going. And in August 2016 I got pregnant. It was truly a miracle. While I was happy suddenly my father became unwell and my parents couldn’t visit London for my delivery. Even at that situation the teacher asked me to stay positive. I never thought I could manage delivery alone. But her teachings, her belief and the way how she created the Yoga family it all helped me to handle my new born baby alone.
There is a song in Tamil on Sai Baba (https://youtu.be/SvsTAk8R6OE)
which has this lyrics
நீ செல்லும் வழிகளில் வழித்துணை யாய் அவன் நீ அறியாமலே உடன் வருவான்
Meaning :
Wherever we go God will protect us by being with us even without us realizing that He is there for us
For me the way I met my friend, from there the way I was introduced to the Yoga teacher and the friends whom I earned from there its all a Miracle. I couldn’t attend sessions from 2017 and unfortunately couldn’t join the online sessions that happened in Lockdown too but her teachings are for a lifetime. It doesn’t matter whether you attend a session for a day or for years if you were truly opened to your heart, ears and have listened to those words then the impact will stay with you forever. While everyone in this generation is struggling to be content with their life I can definitely say this Yoga has taught me to be content with whatever I have, to count the blessings we have, to give up my ego and try to have that deep Faith in the Almighty, to treat everyone equally, to help others even in the smallest way possible and most importantly to realize the Soul within and nurture it with good thoughts and pure Love.
Once you enter the Yoga pariwar there is no discrimination, no boundaries, no negativity, no competition as who is bigger or smaller. We are all equal in the eyes of God and as well as Guru ji. Each and every individual has different goals in Yoga. It is all in our hands on what to take from Her teachings, her sessions and how to impart the good values in our day to day life, teach them to our children and keep the tradition alive and going. Blessed to be part of this groups. Like the teacher always says May God bless us all abundantly.🙏🙏
How Yoga has Helped Me
During this lock down we have been having sessions every day, which has helped immensely with keeping a positive and healthy mind. During these sessions we are encouraged to voice our thoughts and opinions, prompting conversations about things which are troubling/confusing us. Her explanations help us to face our fears and put things into perspective. They have allowed me to open up and believe in myself more. When we start our sessions with this golden sentence ‘I’m not alone, God is with me’ I truly believe that I can do anything. She is always very clear of why we feel certain things and what we can do to help ourselves. She always reminds us that God loves you 70 times more than your own mother, which helps me live in the moment and not always focus on negative things which have happened in the past. Her stories and her words have helped me to understand that everything happens for a reason, and though I may not fully understand why things happen at times, I can appreciate their significance. Forgive and forget.
I’m really grateful to my yoga teacher, who is incredibly kind and selfless, as she is always there for me with helpful advice. The thing I really admire most about her is that she doesn’t just talk at us, but really takes the time to explain why we should be happy and grateful for what we have. She also emphasizes the importance of charity and giving back, aspiring us to be better people in whatever way that we can. I can’t thank her enough, as anytime I have any questions strangely she always finds a way to answer them during her sessions, without me even asking. I’ll always be glad I took the first step to attend these sessions, and they have helped me more than I could ever imagine.
Yog
Therefore, my husband pushed me to do yoga, as this was also beneficial for me. However, my mind was not on a straight path, I was doing it for the sake of it. Gradually, I found change in myself, my immunity was building up therefore no more bladder stones could hit me, and I found myself healthier and more active. The unnoticeable pains which I was going through, were now not able to distract me anymore.
The other drastic benefit was while coughing I got wet but after doing pelvic asanas it completely disappeared. Now I can say that yoga is my daily dose of medicine, which I am taking for my own benefit and now doing out of my own interest. Now living a healthier which includes a happier life, little changes in the daily habits come out with greener results. Following small tips (which we think are small but are not) gives me great benefits and boosts.
That was the physical aspect but there has been a lot of spiritual development, so I wanted to share that with you too. Now I have become a calmer and more peaceful person additionally things do not affect me as they used to before. I argue less, the impact of this can be clearly seen on my family.
It would be true to say that I believe, “whatever happens, happens for the best, God will and has always given me what is best for me”. Yog has taught me to see and follow the positive side of life. Gossiping and searching for faults in other was in the last chapter of my life, in the new one it is a big NO! With the faith in God and concentrative meditation will help me to work out on my shortcomings.
I surely believe that I will be inclined to be a so-called human being. I am learning the importance of charity, motherland and gaiya maiya ,it is truly getting into me. Hopefully with the help of Yog and God, I will be able to do something which can make me happy. Last but not the least, yoga has taught me that real happiness is in my hands and I can not be the remote of anyone.
To summarise, I can only say my life revolves around yoga.
Almighty’s Blessings
There are things in life that one tends to forget but then they need to be reminded often. We are children of Almighty who loves us and maintains our soul, soul that does not die out. All religions in this world teach us to fearlessly love with pure heart surrender yourself to divine self. With forgiveness, purity, respect, love, compassion in life and Almighty’s Blessings one can tide over any crisis in life.
My spiritual lifestyle
I wanted to join yoga class for a long time but the only issue stopping me was the time; it’s 9-10 A.M. After dropping my son at school, it would be a journey of about 15-20 minutes. I thought it wouldn’t be good to go late for yoga. That’s why I didn’t go to yoga first.
After several months, I thought that it would be nice to go and see once. One day, my husband dropped me. I felt good as it was not like what I had expected. After a couple of days, I noticed several people were arriving late because they had the same issue like me. I was enjoying these sessions because of the way of teaching different aspects such as jokes, meditation, yoga, spirituality; it was all-in-one.
Soon it became a routine. Also, other friends had joined me going to yoga and coming with me. I had established a nice group and enjoyed a lot.
I realized that yoga classes are brilliantly helping me to learn so many spiritual aspects. I learnt to have faith in God, to live in the present moment, meditation techniques, forgive and forget, positiveness and to take things easy, remembering god whatever we do also so many health tips, drinking hot water, how to take better care of our self’s and others. So many things I have learnt. I can’t express in words how blissful I feel. I am always thankful to God for showing me such a great personality.
By listing the spiritual stories, I used to tell to my son bedtime stories. I also got the opportunity to take him to yoga classes every half term and slowly it changed to children special yoga classes. My son enjoyed it a lot and learnt lots of things. By listening to stories, I also engaged him to write a story. He was so happy and wrote a story. My Guru accepted it and she was so happy to listen to the story. She also encouraged all the other children to write stories. My son got the confidence to write more stories and also to sing bhajans.
In conclusion, I am so thankful to the yoga teacher for teaching us so many things and we’re blessed to have such a great guru in our life. Danyavadamalu.
Our journey to Self Realisation

Rishav, my son, started to attend the yoga classes when he was four years old. He was very quiet and used to play with the toys on his own. The Teacher never forced him to join and I thought he was a distraction in the class. Least did I know that he was observing and paying attention to everything said during the session. A year later, he started to do yoga for the first time and knew most of asanas since he was always observing the session. The teacher very well knew that children absorb everything said in their subconscious mind and the child’s mind is like sponge which can easily retain all the knowledge. Children enjoy the session since it is fun filled and the teacher is very friendly.
When Rishav returned from a holiday in India, he had a corn on his feet which badly hurt when he walked. We tried several medicines provided by the pharmacists and it didn’t heal. Doctors advised that may need to remove the corn by a minor surgery. Then during one the classes our yoga teacher advised us to apply a banana peel or onion paste overnight. We followed her instructions and within few days the corn started to subside by applying onion paste. Within another week the corn had totally dried up and peeled off. Thanks to our yoga teacher who is a doctor by profession and has profound knowledge about treating ailments using natural products.
On popular demand, the mens only yoga class commenced every Tuesday evening at 7pm London time. Group of men of variant age groups used to congregate at the yoga teacher’s residence for the spiritual journey. Session would commence with the saying – I am not alone, God is with me, there is nothing in this world he and I can’t do together !!!, assuring all of us that we are mere actors abiding to God’s script. It was followed by the Yoga Asanas along with the benefits explained for each of the exercises performed. Medical benefits were interpreted in layman’s terms so that it was well understood by all of us. It was a Satsang with like-minded people who had very similar interests in yoga and keen to realise oneself.
Yoga teacher used to impart her knowledge through fables and scriptures from all religions to enlighten us. Her facts about the spiritual features specified in each religion was commendable. We all worshiped God in different forms and religions without realising that our quest was to reach to his oneness through our soul. During the Covid-19 situation, on-line classes were introduced and for the first time the whole family joined the session together. Session on Saturdays involved Yoga asanas, meditation, spiritual discourses and children used to present their skills by playing various instruments or reciting stories, mantras etc. I learnt a lot from these sessions and always longed for attending the next one. There was lot of interesting articles and facts shared on the WhatsAPP group as well.
Prior to joining the Yoga sessions, there was no proper work/personal life balance and there were stressful days due to work commitments. As years passed by, I used to wonder what the objective of life was and the reason for our existence on this planet. Our Yoga teacher used to explain the importance of self realisation and what the soul within us meant. It wasn’t easy to comprehend to some of the facts about realising the relationship between the mind, soul and the body. Body represented a physical state which would eventually perish and we all gave so much of importance to it rather than realising the soul within us. Mind commonly referred to a drunken monkey wandering over infinite futile thoughts which never had a clear cut vision. Our focus was on amassing wealth and fame relentlessly without realising the very fact of our creation on this planet. We, the human beings – the jewel of all creation, had no compassion towards the needy and lost communication with our fellow companions in this mad pace of life filled with technology.
In the yoga teacher’s words, mother’s love towards her child is infinite but Gods love to all human beings is 70 times more. Who are we to find fault in others when we ourselves are not perfect. Words we say when we are angry can hurt someone else and cause pain. We should learn to control our emotions and learn to forgive others. Patience, tolerance, compassion and forgiveness are the key qualities we would need to inherit. And also, understand the importance of charity. Charity is another form where we relinquish ourselves from our wealth and follow the path to reach his oneness. It is a long journey but we have to start soon else we will remain trapped with his endless cycle of rebirths to relinquish all the bad karmas.
Priceless
Right from when I started I have been very impressed with my teacher who selflessly has been providing her valuable time, rare insights and relentless support to all who are seeking different forms of benefits – yes I would like to refer them as benefits and that too priceless!
I do believe that we pursue or follow something because we get something in return – some kind of benefit. I am no exception to this as I believe and feel the joy of immense benefits through my association myself with Divine Selfless Service.
I enjoy being part of Divine Selfless Service as it helps me focus on my well being, a platform that constantly reminds us to maintain path of righteousness and most importantly ability to connect to the ultimate spiritual one.
It clearly is a critical time of week where I get to learn or even unlearn, pause and reflect or even forget – yes forget – thereby taking me to a different plane altogether!
These benefits vary across a wide spectrum of subjects and it’s really for the beholder to take in. To name a few, our teacher – don’t know how she manages or remembers – but she takes you from yog science to medical science, history to health, food and fun, ancient scriptures to spirituality using stories and parables and the list is long. More so, you can be 3 year old or an 80+ (am guessing age of senior co-students / participants – sorry about that).
Saying Thank you in true sense is probably under rated way to express gratitude to my teachers contribution 🙏🏼
I am glad and very grateful to have this opportunity of being able to connect every week with Divine Selfless Service and do hope I can continue to do so.
My Spiritual journey

I have actually learnt the true meaning of Yoga, which is the real union of oneself with the divine, which people don’t normally understand after years and years of practice .
During lockdown, Yoga classes managed to keep me and many more positive and sane. Lockdown was the best period of my whole life, as my spiritual journey moved to the next level. She always says that the seed was sown within me, it’s just got the golden opportunity to go deeper. We started doing online classes due to the covid-19 from March. After an hour of physical yoga, we started satsang in which we started discussing mantras, shlokas, famous gurus, saints and spiritual stories.
During the lockdown period, I felt that I actually got the chance to put in practice the things I have been learning for a long time and understand the deep spiritual meaning of it too. I would like to share a few things which I have started practicing in my everyday life and feel everyone should try it too.
For all these years, the first sentence we repeat is ‘I am not the body or the mind but a pure soul.” It feels like I have been saying this like a parrot whereas now I am trying my best to mean it.
Another example of this is how she always tells us that we need to live in present moment. The past is dead and the future is unknown so what’s the point of thinking of both? This week, I went for a walk in the evening by myself. I randomly remembered a sad or disturbing part of my life which happened exactly last year. I was about to start getting in the loop of depressing thoughts and just remembered her words about living in the present. I thought to myself that there is no point of thinking that, as it is going to ruin my present and that’s the past, which is dead. I was quite impressed and felt happy with myself that I actually put her words in practice.
I am also constantly in the process of working on 6 qualities which she keeps reminding us constantly in different ways, which are faith, patience, tolerance, self control, detachment and contentment. I had faith in God but now with her help, my faith has become stronger. I learnt that no matter what condition we are in, is the god’s wish and happens for the best. So I try and practise to keep myself content.
I always feel that all those qualities are quite difficult to completely achieve. But somehow I always find that detachment is one of the toughest qualities to achieve by being in grahasthashram. She always says to us that we should all do our activities thinking that God is the doer who is working through my body. I am trying my best to do things for my family without any expectations and nothing in return. In the past few months of satsang , I am getting less angry or upset as whatever I do have no expectations. Even at points if I get upset if agitated, I try to surrender to god and ask his forgiveness. Forgiveness reminds me something quite important which I asked her during our satsang. I said that forgive and forget seems quite difficult. She explained beautifully how to forgive and forget. We need to surrender to God and ask to forgive us and the person who has hurt us and move on in life.
Before going to bed, I have started going over the whole day and analysing where I have done something wrong or upset someone. I surrender to god and ask for forgiveness and repeat the golden sentence – I am not the doer, you are the doer.
I still need to work on all the six qualities which I haven’t got them 100% but working on them so they get stronger before I go to face the real world and will be able to continue too.
Another amazing thing she always reminds us to do is charity and its importance. Charity is not just giving money. It could just be giving your beautiful smile to someone or looking after our nature like birds and trees.
During satsang, my belief became stronger that all religions teach us the same. God is one and everyone has different way of worshiping. People may take different forms of transport to reach one destination but they reach there in there end.
Last but not least, to actually progress in everyone’s spiritual journey, you need to wake up in Brahma Muharat, which is between 3-6 am. She urges us every single day without a fail to do this, which I really struggled to follow these years. But I have just started to practice and I could see the difference in me. I can focus better as there are less thoughts in the morning and you get more time during the day as well with full energy. It also helps you to keep your batteries charged for the rest of day. She always says when you take one step towards God, he walks ten steps towards you. God helps us to wake up even without the alarm, like we say when there is a will there is a way!
There is still a long way to go in my spiritual journey. I still need to work on the complete surrender to god and stay in his name all the time. I need to fully believe that God is the doer and working through me.
I have not got enough words to express my gratitude to her for giving me the real essence of Yoga and sowing the spiritual seed within me and is always there to guide me every step of the way of my spiritual journey. Sashtang dandwat pranam.
We are all ONE
Personally I say that this spiritual journey opened up a different dimension in my life. During my childhood, I had been exposed to a different religion through one of my neighbour, even though we are a traditional Hindu family. That exposure lead me building up some negative thoughts about my own family culture and religion. Even though I have not expressed those thoughts outward explicitly, I have struggled within myself, to contain that narrow thinking of looking at other religions (including my own) in negative way. This carried on for few years till the time I came to UK. Those negative thoughts started to fade out slowly when I visited a template in Wales, wherein I saw people from different religions come together as one to pray. The real transformation kicked off when my wife started attending the Yoga classes. The broader picture started emerging after listening to good words mentioned in Yoga class from my wife. The clouds were fully opened up when myself got the opportunity to attend these classes. I have now fully realized that these different religions are just different paths to discover the same Almighty, to realize the soul within, There should not be any place to think negative about one another. This life changing journey through Yoga classes freed me from all negative thoughts I have been carrying for so long.
With the help of further guidance in Yoga classes, Whenever I feel low, I take a pause and chant god’s name/mantras with the sole purpose of surrendering to him to guide next. This helps me in getting rid of all negative emotions and thoughts, and making me energized and be positive, and eventually a better human being.
Some of the words resonate always are
I am not alone, God is with me.
I am not the body and I am not the mind
I am not the doer, God is doing through me
Surrender to the God
Live in present moment, Otherwise you are a dead body.
Remember to forget, forgive and do charity
Most importantly, We are all ONE
Faith
Earlier it was difficult for me to attend physically now it’s much easier for me to attend in online with little one. Online sessions are very good and listening every one’s views and discussions on spirituality and kids and adults talent it become part of life.
Thank you for everything.
Manas Pooja
The other one-hour of spiritual discussions with her is amazing. Her talks help me to work on myself and encourage me to surrender to the divine within me, with me and around me. The knowledge I am getting from her talks and group discussions helping me to boost my will power, which inspired me to write stories on this Website. For me personally daily this is like meeting my spiritual family. She encourages multi -skills, multi -cultural and multi -language talents. Everyone in her class is integrated without any discrimination of age, gender, qualifications, and skills will participate, enjoy, elevate mentally and spiritually. As far as I know, this is the only class where I have seen people participating from different parts of the world with different cultural backgrounds and 3-generation people participating, sharing, enjoying, learning and evolving as being humans. The various posts on the website itself reflects how we are progressing day by day even though much more happening in our all round development under her guidance.
Family perspective
Increase in lung capacity
Stronger bones
Physical health
It helps keeps me fit and energetic throughout the day. Yoga has also taught me to eat a healthier diet for every meal of the day.
The prosperity of doing yoga in lock-down is that I have been able to concentrate while doing meditation. Before I could not concentrate at all, nevertheless now I can concentrate fully, and I am not disturbed by anything around me. I can see the holy shell, Rama and Krishna.
Meditation helped me to have complete faith in God and believe that I am not the doer, he is. Keeping faith in God has helped me to overcome fear and I also don’t ever have nightmares anymore. Doing meditation has increased my concentration power and I am able to fully focus on my school studies as well as other activities done throughout the day.
Forgive and Forget
When I started these sessions, I had a son who was born through C-section and I was told my second born will be a C-Sec baby as the first surgery was quiet extensive but as I was doing yoga way before conceiving my send child, I continue yoga all through my pregnancy and to everyone’s amaze, my second one was a normal birth. And not to mention, I can see a lot of difference in both my little ones whom I attribute to yoga which I did during my gestational days. Another health benefit which I would like to mention is that I have suffered from hypothyroidism since very long time but gradually my dosage dropped and now am almost on the verge of stopping the medication and all the decrease in the medication is done by my GP.
Now the spiritual benefit side which is far more important that the physical side. I feel I am a much better person when it comes to interaction with the material world. Circumstances do not affect me that deeply and I able to deal with the situations without disturbing my inner peace..
I have learnt my lesson of life that FORGIVE AND FORGET. Share whatever you can, do charity. May it be monetary help, or your time even I have l learnt to donate my smile.
These sessions make us all a better human being, showing us the path that it is more important to being a human than becoming a human being.
Changed My Life
Since joining yoga sessions I have learned so much. For example when I feel congested what asaan to do. Meditation has helped me a lot . My teacher has made me much happier and more confident within myself. I feel that yoga has relaxed my body and mind. It has also helped to make me more confident.
She gives us lots of home remedies tips which I follow and help. She has been an excellent teacher and a friend over the years. She wants to help and always gives time and attention to individual needs.
I feel yoga has changed my life for the better over the course of the years. It has been a golden opportunity to do yoga online. Thank you for all the help and support you have given me over the years.
