When I was 16 years old around 1983, I had a fall from a height of about 13 feet in my house. This was more than 20 years ago. After the fall, I was rushed to the Malacca General Hospital. A full head to toe X-ray did not show any broken bones! The doctor said in a very candid manner, “You are ok to go home now, everything is fine.” I remember thinking to myself, “It is just a fall, so I know I am ok” without realizing that a fall from such a height can cause severe injury. However, ever since then, I occasionally experienced piercing pain in my lower back but the pain would disappear after a while. I was active in volleyball, tennis and badminton and during periods of vigorous physical activities, I did not experience any pain.

After completing my tertiary education, the piercing pain in my lower back returned with frequent intervals and high intensity. I did a MRI scan around 1992 and the doctor said there was nothing wrong with my lower back, although I was suffering in pain then. It was in 2005 that I was diagnosed with a disc prolapse of the lumbar region (slip disc in L4/L5) as a result of the injury sustained from the fall about 20 years ago. I was advised by the Spine Specialist to go on pain killers, when the pain is unbearable and go for regular physiotherapy every 3-6 months but after several months the frequency and intensity of pain increased. I was desperate for a cure and I tried Chinese traditional medicine, more physiotherapy and Ayurvedic massage but to no avail. In 2007, the Spine Specialist told me that there is no improvement in my condition and things will only get worse as age catches up.

One day in mid Sept 2008, I was invited to receive healing done by an initiated healer of Sri Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Skeptical, I told myself I will go with an open heart although internally, I was asking thousands of questions if this “healing” works. Arriving at the healing centre, I received a warm welcome. After the first healing session, I could already feel that the pain had almost disappeared, although I was skeptical of this experience. I kept asking myself, “Is this true?” I could feel that something is happening to me, and I couldn’t believe I am healing. I received healing about 6 times, after which there was a deep desire to meet the Enlightened Master himself, Sri Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Finally, on Saturday, 22 Nov 2008, I had the opportunity. Together with some close friends, I attended Kalpataru darshan in Bidadi ashram, the headquarters of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, Bangalore. That day was the most memorable day of my life, where I experienced the Enlightened Master’s overflowing grace, abundance and love. When my turn came, quite late, that Saturday night, I could experience his energy, freshness, grace and intensity. I introduced myself and mentioned to Swami about my slip disc which I have been suffering for many years. Gracefully, he touched my head and patted my spine area, gave me a big bear hug, and consoled me saying in Tamil, “It will be alright” and gave me 3 packets of vibuthi (holy ash) to apply there for 11 days.

After that, I visited Thiruvanamalai and did the Girivalam (14km walk around the Arunachala Hills) effortlessly. I felt that Swami had blessed me with high energy. When I returned back to Malaysia, I participated in the various meditation programs conducted under the auspices of the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam Malaysia and derived spiritual benefit there from. Since then, I had the opportunity to lead a normal life, without the nagging pain of the slip disc, which seemed to have miraculously disappeared. I know that medically it is difficult to explain my healing experience.

I do the Nithya Dhyaan (Life Bliss Meditation) daily and feel completely refreshed and charged with high energy to face the day.

I feel totally cured and I ascribe this personal experience of mine to the Healing power and abundant grace of Sri Paramahamsa Nithyananda. My idea of sharing this in this forum is that if any of you are having any health problems or any other ailments; do receive Nithya Spiritual Healing carried out regularly by Nithyananda Initiated Healers all over the world with an open mind, faith and devotion.

My thoughts and prayers are always with Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

Om Santhi! Santhi! Santhi!
