Stress, anxiety and depression are known to be significant factors in the onset and progression of a wide spectrum of illnesses ranging from cancer and HIV-1 infection, to asthma and cardiovascular disease. Life has become better, easier and happier.In a fast paced age where stress and depression are widespread, the toll of these on physical and mental health can be extremely high. Things which used to irritate me earlier don’t bother me at all. Now whenever I get a problem, I don’t crib about it but instead, I only focus on how to solve that particular problem. But at that time all these things were impossible for me.Īfter doing the Kriya each and every single day, without fail, I was filled with a lot of positive energy, due to which I am still living and now I enjoy life. She would always tell me to talk and get some liveliness in me. My mother would also wonder why I always looked tired and pale. I would not talk much just remain silent all the time. I used to get irritated very soon and even the smallest things would irritate me. Earlier, I used to feel very tired, lazy and lethargic. The Sudarshan Kriya has all by itself changed my life. I told her that I am going to make Guruji my spiritual Guru. She said that I am looking cheerful and energetic. When I came back home after the course my mother was very surprised to see me. I went for it and believe me, after doing the Kriya only once I fell in love with it. One day I was told about the Art of Living Part 1 course. I used to keep thinking of several ways by which I could commit suicide.

I was tired and frustrated and I just wanted life to end. There was a time in my life when the only thing that used to go on in my mind how to commit suicide.
