It is difficult to describe in words how Sudarshan Kriya has transformed my life over the last decade. I was in my early 20s and severely asthmatic. So much so that it was a burden even to walk to the college from my hostel building on some days. I had tried almost every possible medication and home remedy, but it was still difficult to manage. I had a few other minor health problems and a really bad temper. I used to be frustrated all the time. The first month after I did the Sudarshan Kriya was magical. I realized that I was carrying so much emotional baggage only when it got released. I had never imagined that the key to all my health problems could be so simple and cost-effective! I became a happy person. Over the years, the practice has helped me gain strength, has given me hope and made me the kind of person that I always wanted to be. It has touched and improved almost every aspect of my life, much more than I had ever imagined. Today, I live my life with enthusiasm, all thanks ...

The Master's Voice 7 A toy gifted by the parents or relatives to a child, becomes the Child's My Toy. The performance of a child in exam becomes the result derived by the effort and performance of the Child. We all forget the time spent by us before the Lord to pass us this one time. All our achievements in day to day life becomes My achievement. It can be My Job, My Bike, My Car, My child, My House, My Life. Knowingly or unknowingly, we create an individual identity of ME, in this world. The Master's point out that as we, His Particles, create an individual identity of Myself, we move away from The Lord. A curtain comes in between The Lord and The Soul. We, The Soul, start to feel that our life is courtesy Our parents. We start to live in the world believing that we are the doers. We feel that compounded by our senses and its Master Mind, we control all our deeds and Acts. We start to live like the Master's world. The Mind, has slowly, as we grew, created the perceptio...

The Master's Voice 6 In our childhood, we will remember the parents taking extra pains to find a Right school. Because Right school meant Right environment and development of Right habits. They also used to ask who your Friends are in school, and with whom do we spend most of our time. The Reason for this is, we inculcate the traits of our companions in us, very easily as we spend maximum time with them. For example, sitting with a studious student, we also become studious. If our friends are naughty in nature, we too become Naughty. Similarly, our 5 sense organs Eyes, Ears, Nose, Tongue and Skin also have a Friend - Mind. The Master's say, the mind could be our best friend, if it's orientation is towards The Lord, Prayer and Meditation. The same Mind can be a distractive friend, if it tends to embroil itself in the worldly pursuits. The Mind is the processor, it has the capacity to think, analyse, understand and implement. It assimilates the information through our sense o...

The Master's Voice 8 The Soul came from it's True Home as a free spirit, totally independent. But upon its' arrival in this world, the focus got distracted and with Mind as its companion started to believe it is the Master. Slowly EGO creeps in. According to The Master's, Ego is the biggest barrier between the union of The Lord and The Soul.  We also succumb to another folly of Mind, and that is our attachment. Initially, The Soul's only focus and intent was to Pray, Meditate and be with The Lord. Unfortunately as Ego crept in, we want to become the Masters of worldly possessions. We want to own it any cost. Once, we are in possession, we get attached to it and under no count do we want to part with it. We believe everything and everyone is here for eternal and will hold same value always. Whereas the truth is, a child who is attached to a toy leaves it for a bat and ball, as he grows up. He leaves the bat and ball as an young man to focus on his job. The job now be...

The Master's Voice 9 To be Content with what we have, is the greatest of virtue a human can possess, says The Master. But if we just look through our life, we will find We were never satisfied with what we had, we always wanted more. Be it a toy, game, food, dress or jewellery. Our eyes were always on what our brothers and sisters got, and we wanted them too. A tendency we developed in childhood slowly has become our nature today. Unknowingly, we seek for others possession. Slowly and steadily it increases in such a way that we become desperate. We are restless till we lay hand on it. It is not just the wealth or worldly possessions that we desperately seek, but we also want to wield power. The craving for power starts from home and spreads to known, neighborhood, society and so on.  Ravana is a great example. He was in possession of knowledge and worldly power, but his greed or craving for Sita, became the cause for his downfall. The Master's say, create the environment from t...
