I am working as a Yuvacharya since 2004, and have taken Breath-Water-Sound Courses in many villages. I wish to share an experience from a village called Wai. Purshottam Kharade belongs to this village, and his wife had a severe back pain. She could not even sit on the floor, and the expense of an operation was estimated to be around Rs.50, 000.

When this lady came to my Breath-Water-Sound Course, she sat on a chair for the first two days. On the third day I asked her to sit on the floor. But she replied, "I can’t sit on the floor. My children and husband do all my housework, and you are asking me to sit down! I can’t sit on the floor.” But still I insisted that she sit on the floor, and told her, "You can sit, you sit on the floor." That boosted her confidence and slowly she sat down. An expense of Rs.50, 000 for her operation was saved. Today she is well able to attend to her household routine.
