Nithyanandam!

I attended my first ever meditation workshop (LBP) in Jan 24 2009. Until that day, I was a smoker for 14 years. I used to smoke at least 10-12 cigarettes a day. I also used to drink at least 3 - 4 times in a week. I was someone who hates to go to temples, have a negative feelings towards swami's & gurus because of past conditioning. I did not have any clue towards meditation or yoga or whole spirituality. Not an idea!

After the first day of meditation workshop, all of a sudden I saw a change in my body, the energy, the feelings, etc. After finishing the 2nd day, now I can clearly see the difference in my whole body and energy. There is a clear shift in my consciousness and bodily energy. The first thing happened was, the desire to smoke or drink is DEAD! I cannot belive that I do NOT have any cravings to pick up a smoke. I never thought I will be able to drop my smoking habbit just like that and that too without any effort!. In the past I have tried several times to quit smoking. Whenever I tried, i had failed miserably and went back with much force. After some trials, i decided that I will not try to stop it again.

Anyway, after finishing the workshop, I have NOT looked back and touched smoking or drinks again. Not only that, the craving towards non-vegetarian food was also dropped without any difficulty. I can tell a complete cleansing happend in my system, both psychologically, physically and new energy was awakened in the body. All these things have happened because of Swamiji's blessings and his powerful & dynamic meditations. I strongly recommend to people who have been smoking or drinking, attend swamiji's meditation sessions and come out of these habbits. I can assure, life will be just great and amazing without smoking and drinking.

Last year, my wife and I had an opportunity to go through a 3 month course called Life Bliss Engineering. It is a wonderful course for those seekers who are serious and sincere towards seeking higher dimensions of life. Also, it is a once in a life time opportunity to live & study directly under an enlightened master. Actually, I work for a large financial corporation and taking 3 months time off is really a big deal but with swamiji's blessings, i have been able to take the time off without any issues. Not only that, after returning from the program, I have been promoted to a higher title and received a huge bonus. In fact, all these things happened while the company is going thru a critical transition and cannot even imagine that such things are possible during the critical times.

It has been more then an year now and I have been practicing yoga & meditation regularly. I am living a blissful and wonderful life. Also, a tremendous transformation has happened and this would not have been possible without Swamiji's grace and his blessings. I am eternally grateful to Him for happening in my life.

Thank you, Swamiji for everything.
