Vijay Watkar

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.

“I had decided to go back to my anti-depressants before this (The Art of Living) course, but now I don’t need them. I will practice these techniques every single day for the rest of my life. I only hope other people are lucky enough to take this course. It has given me more help than I could have ever imagined possible. Thank you.”

“I’ve been suffering from a loss of concentration, weak memory and extreme anger. Now I feel as if something heavy has been lifted from my back.”

Course Participant

“I found that this training of breathing is so useful and its benefit shows when I do it. I feel that my heart is stronger and younger. When I can’t sleep I just do the breathing and I feel energy in all parts of my body.”

“I feel peace with myself and have less stress. I think if I continue with the practice, this feeling of peace will continue to grow.”

M. Ali Bankat

"Before this experience, I was sad, depressed and starting to lose hope because of the situation here in Iraq. Now, after only four days, I feel confident in myself – happier, have hopes and dreams again and I feel that life is so beautiful. I have started to love everyone and physically I have much more energy and am able to do more things. I want to thank you very much for helping all of us feel better.”
