Experiences shared by Meditators
The joy of Meditations is becoming a habit and I don't feel too good if I miss out on my daily Meditations. I am able to go into silence faster and it is deeper. I am beginning to feel the Presence in the quiet. Surrender too is coming naturally. Most important of all is that a sense of detachment in me is very strong and I am not interested in anything except the Source, His service, His remembrance, His work, awareness and prayer. And the whole being is diverted towards Him.

Rishis, Guruji, Maharshi Amara and Master V are always around pouring Light, affection and showing ways. I choose to be with goodness, compassion, Light, patience and hope for the good of all. The blessed journey continues in all abundance.

My two-year-old dog became quite sick and was admitted to the animal hospital for several days with suspected Pancreatitis. The blood tests showed that there was internal infection. I prayed to Santoshi Devi for healing, and the healing energies were channelled to the dog. When the ultrasound was eventually carried out there was no sign of internal infection. She immediately started to recover, despite the vet saying that it will be a long process. And soon she recovered fully!
A family friend had burst appendix and peritonitis. Unfortunately, after she was discharged from the hospital she continued to deteriorate. They had to re-operate on her but as she was very weak, the operation had to be put off. I prayed to Santoshi Devi and the healing energies were channelled to her. Much to the surprise of everyone, she started to recover and did not need surgery again. I am grateful to the Rishis and Guruji for their help. Those who are close to me are now starting to believe in these unexplained situations; which to me is the Rishis' Grace, their help!

I am seeing visions of future events in my Meditations, future events of that day or events of a few days ahead. I am practising the technique of contacting the Rishis and every time I do that I feel I am receiving a lot of energies and Love from them.
I had an experience one day in my Meditation. I started getting thoughts of all the pain, suffering and disappointment faced by me and people close to me, and instead of feeling disturbed by it, I felt the beauty in these experiences. I felt like I was viewing life from an elevated place, where good and bad don't exist and everything felt beautiful. It is very difficult to put this in words, but I felt true beauty. For the first time I felt I saw how God views this world, loving everything and differentiating nothing.
My trust in Rishis is deeper now. I feel the freedom and joy in surrender. I feel protected always and have overcome lot of fears and worries. I easily love and accept everyone and everything. I am able to recognize the voice of my ego and try to ignore it. The only thing that really matters to me now is, Light and the closeness with Rishis. This simple shift in priority has made me very happy, carefree and brought me peace. Every time I come to a crossroad where I face a difficulty, I just remember what is important and I am instantly relieved.
A Meditator
I am able to understand the reasons behind the disturbances and failures in my life. Yet, I am able to remain peaceful.

While meditating, I was very much aware beyond doubt on more than two to three occasions that there were snakes around my building premises, though I had not personally seen any. I was surprised as there is a concrete jungle now around our building premises with very little greenery. However, recently I came to know that a lady staying behind our building in a hutment had died of a snake bite. The snake was also spotted around the same time in the electric meter room, confirming the subtle knowledge I was given during Meditation!
Recently while meditating, I saw myself meditating deeply in an unknown place. I could see everything outside the room, though the door was closed. Suddenly, I saw a bright whitish golden sparkling flame coming out of the huge banyan tree situated outside the building. It came out and went up towards the sky. The very next day I saw the huge banyan tree uprooted without any reason and it had collapsed tilting towards the adjacent building in our society! There was negligible damage as it had fallen a few meters away from the building.

In the early part of this quarter, Meditation felt very dull and lacklustre. After my recent visit to Taponagara, I feel as though I have been guided afresh. There is renewed enthusiasm to meditate. I have taken a keen interest in practising the Shambala Principles. I am able to practise with a revitalized feeling, whereas I was doing it earlier more as a duty.
Nirmala J
I realise that practising the Shambala Principles is the only way to a happy and peaceful life. I look back at my journey and realise how much I have been 'raised' and helped to grow. It has been 21 years for me to actually realise this. Yes, I have changed. I thank Guruji and the Rishis for their patience and unimaginable Love. Yet I realise that the subtle ego raises its head stealthily and I need to be very cautious. Life is really beautiful! The challenges are our gifted opportunities to grow and I welcome and thank them. I am eternally grateful to them.
Shriya Sasank
I feel light and experience expansion in my Meditations. Sometimes I feel as if I am merging with the vast sky.
Narendra Kumar Dhankar
On 29th August 2019, I completed 15 years in the Path of the Rishis. It took me time, but now I have become human. Many years ago I had a temper and a restless mind. Now I am calm and I no longer have a bad temper!
The most beautiful development is that choosing has become easy. I wonder about how much energies are given to us to choose wisely and effortlessly. Manasa Foundation, the Sapta Rishis Path is the best. It is the best example of how a Meditator's growth is "freedom-based". Guruji emphasized on the point that God has given freedom to all and we have to make the right choices.
I have outgrown many of my limitations. The best part is that I don't even know how I got rid of these! It is like the withered leaves falling from a tree automatically, about which Guruji used to often mention.
Nikhil Gandhi
I feel a lot of Love for everyone, and generally talk lovingly with all the people, birds and animals I encounter. The birds that come to my balcony have been particularly responsive, and sometimes a crow or two come to greet me and wait for me to step out and say "Hi!" I feel I am bursting with Love when I do this, and I feel they can feel it too!
Vidya Virkar
I was finding it difficult to deal with certain insecurities. The difficult part was the emotional ordeal. I started following the techniques given in the "Orientation class". I started practising one technique daily and no sooner than I thought, I was out of this situation! The insecurities were there but the pain wasn't there! This is one of the greatest miracles in my life!
This is a complete Path. The tools of transformation and salvation are given to us in advance. It took me years to realize that practicing techniques given in the Orientation class could have such wonderful impact on our lives. It's hard to believe that despite so many difficulties, I can easily find beauty in life! Words are inadequate to express my gratitude. I am eternally grateful to Guruji, Rishis and God for being there for me and guiding me.
Nikhil Gandhi
I feel calm and so much at peace. I go into Samadhi and lose track of time and technique. I am not able to argue with people, instead I just feel sorry for them. I am now more aware of my mistakes and therefore more conscious of never to repeat them. My Meditations become much more regular during work holidays.

Recently, I was handling a suicide case of a close relative. The elderly relatives of the deceased were senior citizens with multiple health issues and were stuck with the lengthy police interrogation. I prayed to the Masters and requested for help and channelled Light as the situation was going out of control. I felt a subtle guidance from within prompting me to take swift and right actions. Very soon, a policeman in plain clothes approached me, gave us a patient listening and helped us to come out of the difficult situation!
While coming to Taponagara on 15-8-2019, I observed utter chaos at all the counters of Air India, with long queues. I started channelling Light with a prayer that I must not lose the opportunity to visit Taponagara and meditate there. To my utter surprise, the airline attendant gave me the boarding pass first, despite many requests from other passengers!

Effect of things on me is much lesser. There is some unknown knowing which says, "Now Light will take care, just surrender to it. You are not alone."
