It is a priviledge for me to be a catalyst for inner change and transformation in this world.
Someone said that there are four kinds of teachers...
the ordinary teacher tells (information)
the good teacher explains (knowledge)
the superior teacher demonstrates (application)
the great teacher inspires (transformation)
Certainly my effort has been to explain, demonstrate and inspire people to live more balanced, harmonious lives.
As I reflected on the above saying it occured to me that there are also four kinds of students
the ordinary student just hears (information)
the good student attempts to understand (knowledge)
the superior student implements the knowledge (application)
the great student becomes a source of inspiration him/herself (transformation)
In this light I'd like to share some heart warming and very intimate feedback from Dr Radha in Hyderabad.
She attended my sessions in Feb and May 2009. Despite overwhelming personal problems, her process of
blossoming can be a source of inspiration to us all. I feel blessed to have been a catalyst and support in her
voyage of awakening...
My Experience
This is all about my experiences-what I went through in February of this year (2009) . Something which stands out for me and changed me completely. It was like an experience never experienced before and which changed my whole life upside down-a complete life transforming experience.
The transformation took place after I came in contact with Nithya Shanti - the person with the ‘magic touch’. In a workshop which I attended, I had the good fortune of meeting Nithya, listening to his talks, attending his meditations, and sharing some of my personal problems with him and getting advice, help and healing from him.
What I went through in the next 5 days after the workshop ended was something beyond my imagination and wildest dreams. Physically I was down with fever, nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps-which I could understand. But what was taking place inside me was something which went beyond my comprehension and understanding. It was as if an explosion had occurred within me and everything had just collapsed like a pack of cards. The layers and layers of resistance which I had so carefully built up within me all these years were struck down in just one instant. It was as if a dam had burst and the flood gates were opened. From morning till night I was thrown into fits of uncontrollable crying episodes, which went on non-stop. and which exhausted me thoroughly. It was something which was coming from deep inside me and took me completely by surprise. And I was a person who always uses to take pride in controlling my emotions and not letting myself go in front of anybody as I thought crying was a weakness! Though I was unable to identify the emotions I was going through, the tears just flowed continuously. It was complete agony for me, I didn’t know what was happening and it was very painful and scary. Through all this Nithya was a total support for me as he held my hand throughout and helped me to surrender and go through the process completely.
And when it was over, what a relief it was and what a fantastic change! I felt like a new person from inside out! I felt, fresh, full of life and completely different.
How life has changed for me after this experience:
Life is never the same again for me. It has taken a 360 degree turn. The whole experience has been very powerful for me, melting away all the gross within me and leaving in its wake a lot of love and joy. It was an experience which opened up my heart and vision. Lots of clarity, new balance and strength have emerged out of the chaos. I feel as if I have been completely reborn. Everything is the same in my life, nothing has really changed and yet, everything looks so different! I feel fresher, more full of life, more appreciative and more grateful than before. I am also laughing and smiling a lot more. I sense an undercurrent of love in everything. It is as if I have connected back to myself again. My heart is so full. I am full of gratitude to Existence itself and Nithya in particular for showing me such unconditional love and support.
