q) How and when did you stay at ashram?
After getting inspired from Swamiji’s teachings through Youtube discourses for nearly 8 months, and volunteering for various programs of Dhyanapeetam programs for 2 months, finally made a decision to move inside the ashram & attend LBT program for 2 years. I stepped inside Bidadi ashram as a full-time resident from September 2009


q) Did you face any harassment or problems?
No. Not at all. There is not even a single instance of facing harassment/problems from ashram. I felt I was living inside Heaven on planet Earth. I was taken care like a child and all senior ashramites & Swamiji had personally worked on my inner & outer transformation.

q) Did you hear or come across anyone who faced issues?
No. Not at all. I didn’t hear about anyone facing issues inside/outside the ashram who are connected to Swamiji. Moreover, I had heard and seen many people personally, who had positive transformation in their lives.

q) How would you describe quality of life and community at ashram?
I could clearly understand how sangha (community) can flourish when everyone in ashram are working with single pointed goal with inspiration for mission and devotion to Swamiji. I can call it a true quality of life being experienced by me staying in the ashram. The entire time I had spent in ashram is such a wonderful experience.

q) What would you say about your experience with Swamiji?
It is such a wonderful experience beyond words with Swamiji and living in the ashram living his teachings and experiencing the personal transformation. It is such a great experience to be experienced by everyone.

q) What would you say about the recent media reports?
I am very much disappointed and heart-broken to hear the fake reports on such a compassionate & responsible Master. These reports clearly are trying to defame a 100% genuine Sanathana dharma based organization and a Master who is practically living such a genuine lifestyle and preaching to the whole world how to live it boldly in this present world.
