When did you get associated with Art of Living and how?
I was introduced to Art of Living by my wife. I learnt Sudarshan Kriya in 1997 when I was in Hyderabad though my moorings in spirituality were laid by my father. He was Principal of an Engineering College in Orissa. I was exposed to different facets of Indian philosophy and spirituality as my father used to organise different spiritual talks in college. As a result I could learn different techniques of Kriya
How did it benefit you?
Sudarshan Kriya is very different from other techniques. It is fully packed with bodily movement, Pranayama and meditation. In medical profession there is a term called hyperventillation. This is beyond hyperventilation. You can experience What Energy is and vibrations are. Meditation after Sudarshan Kriya is amazing, it happens without any effort. I feel I can explore myself and reach the state of ultimate with this tool. I'm very grateful to Guruji for this.
Physical benefits of doing Kriya is, it keeps me cool, relaxed, enthusiastic and energetic the whole day. I gained tremendous clarity in thought process. I could overcome ailments like sinusitis, backache, headache and even irritability.
How is it helping you in your profession?
As a Cardiologist by profession, I have put in twenty years of service. However, an element of anxiety used to be there before doing any surgery. Now I'm at ease. I can communicate well with my patients, as well as others.
I also recommend this Sudarshan Kriya to my patients. In fact all those who recuperate from heart disease should do Sudarshan Kriya. Heart ailments are not like cancer. They are purely man made. The reasons are stress, food habits, obesity, hypertension and diabetes. All these can be overcome by practicing Sudarshan Kriya. We can not change our lifestyle, so this kriya is very simple and effective in relaxing. You can get into a state of auto mode. It auto regulates every system in our body. There are those who opine that those suffering from heart ailments should not do Kriya, but different stages of breathing, slow, medium and rapid enables to clear the blocked arteries. It is a very effective technique.
