His Blessings
Guruji has guided me and helped me out so many times since I have known him. Whether it was something small and seemingly trivial like dietary or occupation advice, he was always there at the right time to gently ease me out of personal dismay. As a result, this allowed me to see and explore different options in life. He has a gift that allows you to see things for yourself without directly telling you to "do this" or "change that." His attentiveness and compassionate nature is inspiring and naturally makes you want to work hard in yoga like he once did. Since being with Guruji, I have been a happier and a much more confident person when there was once a time where negativity and insecurity saturated my life. D. Briscoe
For the previous five years I had had knee problems. I could not ride a bicycle for an hour or sit in a meditation position for more than ten minutes before my right knee would hurt. When talking with Guruji about the possibility of initiation, he asked me how long I could sit in meditation position because it was important to sit for a long time. When I told him that I could not do so for longer than ten minutes, he whispered something like "it will get better soon". Five days later I received initiation, which lasted more than two hours. For most of this time, I needed to sit in meditation position. It did not hurt at all, my knee was cured! Since that time I can both sit for hours in meditation position and ride the bicycle. This is one of the biggest miracles I experienced in my life. R. Vissers
The most important benefit of Kriya Yoga has been spiritual. Over the years, as my perceptions have changed, I have become much more relaxed, happy, optimistic and free of stress. I am getting wiser than I used to be. The physical benefits are very evident whenever I practise Hatha yoga. One day I arrived at Guruji's with a back problem that had persisted for 18 months and nearly drove me crazy. After three weeks it was gone. There are more experiences like this. I met Guruji again recently, after a year of intensive and hard work, both financially and spiritually. I only had a chance to talk to Guruji briefly, but it was enough. I returned home restored to my usual good humour. And he did it by checking my Kriya Yoga practice and giving me some advice. T. Epstein
Before receiving Kriya from Guruji, I was very susceptible to colds and flu which often led to sinus problems and the use of antibiotics. Since initiation this has stopped. Very seldom now do I suffer from colds and usually they are gone quickly. Through the practices of Hatha yoga and meditation, which I learned from Guruji, my physical health has improved a lot. Emotionally I am more balanced and able to much better express my feelings and actions in everyday life. Since practising Kriya Yoga, my whole life has become more positive under the influence of Guruji and his helpful suggestions. Many times difficult situations or problems have unexpectedly turned around wonderfully for the good, in ways which I could not have believed possible before. C. Hansen
I saw first hand, by Guruji's actions, what an incredible teacher and man he is. I saw how Guruji's selfless actions and teachings inspired and helped all that he touched. I was inspired to learn Kriya from a man and teacher that walked his talk and lived his message. C. D. Coen
