A  Message of Gratitude

It is my good fortune that brought me into this knowledge in the year 2000. Ever since I did the course my quality of life has been on a continuous improvement. I am regular in my daily sadhanas at home and rarely did I miss the weekly Sudarshan kriya until the Corona pandemic halted our weekly follow-up classes a few months ago.  As an avid reader I used to read Guruji’s knowledge through the internet.

There has been a huge transformation in me, from insipidity to energetic, from uncertainty to clarity, from conservative to open-minded and from an introvert to an extrovert the change has been very amazing. The transition from being a chain-smoker to a non-smoker was the turning point in my life.

I also learnt that one need not be restless to prove that he is dynamic. Similarly being contented is not a sign of lethargy. This knowledge helped me change my attitude towards life which in turn helped me in my day to day work enabling me to be unperturbed during times of crisis. As happens to everyone in this world I too had some hard times which I could surmount very easily with the Divine Grace of Guruji and HIS precious knowledge.  Today I am a senior citizen living a comfortable and peaceful life for which I will always be grateful to Guruji.

Now during these Covid-19 times, anxiety, fear and stress had been invading every home throughout the World. Frustration, anger, insecurity, fear, anxiety, disappointment etc., are prevalent the world over and people are finding it difficult to lead a normal life in the lockdown. Fortunately with Guruji guiding us through his online meditations twice a day and our regular practice of sadhanas we are able to handle the situation and maintain our serenity. For more than 100 days now without any discontinuity I have been enjoying Guruji’s Meditation sessions and knowledge discourses. I am grateful to Guruji for keeping me healthy, happy and content.   

I had a passion for writing and wanted to publish a magazine which got fulfilled with the help of Art of Living Faculty Sri. Durga Prasad Dashji. With his encouragement and constant support I could pursue my passion and together we created an E-Magazine in the year 2005.

We are proud to inform you that our Lighthouse E- Magazine will be completing 15 years in a couple of months. We attribute this accomplishment to the Divine blessings of Guruji that kept us going and growing. I am grateful to Guruji for the gift of the company of some brilliant individuals whom I met along this journey; all of them inspired, loved, encouraged and brought the best out of me.

With tears of gratitude flowing down my eyes, I bow down in Sashtanga Namaskaram to the lotus feet of Guruji in respect and gratitude for all those wonderful things HE has showered upon me. This Gurupurnima gives me yet another opportunity to renew my Sankalpa of spreading Guruji’s message far and wide across the World.

Seeking HIS blessings and grace as always.
