No one knew that this journey could spread to 160 countries. And friends in this regard today we will be having Mrs Swathi Ingde as our guest. Who is from Kamptee village near Nagpur let us listen to her spiritual journey.
Interviewer: All the viewers are welcome in News Dnn. In our special presentation regarding Sahaja Yoga, it is such a mission a journey where we meet such personalities who share their experiences and ups and downs with you and tell you how they get benefited after coming to Sahaj. Those benefits are not Limited to power money but those benefits are of people’s inner peace and to realise their true potential.
And in this regard, we are going to meet Mrs Swathi Ingde from Kamptee near Nagpur. Swathi ji you are welcome in News Dnn studio. There are many Sahaj yogis who have come here and all of them had their reasons to come to Sahaj yoga and even there are people who do not have any specific reason, only reason they have is to meet and experience God. Swathi ji we would like to know on behalf of our viewers why did you started Sahaj yoga? And what are the reasons?
Mrs Swathi: I have started doing Sahaj yoga since 1998 and the reason behind it was my elder daughter. Who was very distracted minded, she does not want to listen, I had to force her to study, she became hyper very quickly so I could not understand what should I do for this? and from some relative, I got to know that if by doing Sahaj yoga we can get the benefits and also children’s mind also develops. So initially I took my two daughters with me to the centre.
Interviewer: And you didn’t know anything about Sahaj back then?
Mrs Swathi: No I didn’t know anything about Sahaj. I started Sahaja Yoga when she was in the first standard then gradually one after another year passed by and when she reached matriculation then I was little worried that what she will do in the future? Though she practiced meditation and I took her to the centre but when she was giving her Matriculation exam, I couldn’t see her studying but she would do meditation and saltwater. So I used to tell her in 10th class that if you get only pass marks that is also enough for me but she got a rank, so it was unbelievable for me.
Interviewer: And especially for that child who was not at all interested in learning and she also told that she had a distracting mind and for such child parents only hope that at least their children may pass the examination. And you believe that behind her success was meditation and yoga?
Mrs Swathi: Yes hundred per cent, because it was very difficult to understand her but once she started meditation and started visiting the centre and she becomes so quiet and now, that girl is doing CA.
Interviewer: Viewers we have seen many changes but changes such as these is uncommon that a child with short attention span did good work with the help of meditation and she is now studying CA. And any other reasons apart from this?
Mrs Swathi: Yes my younger daughter by born had [Interviewer 04:19], from which she was suffering, she had undergone 9 operations when I came to Sahaj at that time we use to had operation her per year and the time gradually passed by and she started doing meditation and other prescribed treatments like foot soaking and other treatments–
Interviewer: There are many treatments for different problems.
Mrs Swathi: So she followed all the treatments and the operation period started growing long and now it has been three-four years that we didn’t have the need to operate her.
Interviewer: Very beautiful and what more a parent needs other than their children remain fit and fine.
Mrs Swathi: She is also good in Academics now in class 10th she had got 93 % and now she had appeared in class 12th examination and preparing for NEET.
Interviewer: Swathi ji these are the changes that you have witnessed in your children and now if we talk about you, when you were not in Sahaj and after the period when you started doing Sahaj yoga and what are the changes that you have witnessed in yourself?
Mrs Swathi: I have seen many changes in myself because Kamptee is 22 km away from Nagpur. And once after travelling to Nagpur, I have to sleep after coming from there.
Interviewer: Because of fatigue?
Mrs Swathi: Yes for fatigue and also I have a headache, and once the situation became so that I had to start working and I have to come to Nagpur from Kamptee, and after I started meditation– and I had to drive two-wheelers at least 150 km in a day, and if someone says that to come to Nagpur from Kamptee four times a day, I can do that now because I have the stamina. And also life is under a routine previously we used to sleep on 9:30 P.M around and now we have to wake up in the morning 3:30 A.M for meditation and my husband went to office at 6:30 a.m and then my two daughters they go to their work, and after all the day’s work, we sleep at 11 p.m. and we do not feel any stress at any moment, that is your internal capacity increases, energy level remains high.
If you do meditation that we do not feel any fatigue. So these are the changes that I observe in myself because previously if I had to do a small work but after that, I could not do anything more. But right now if you say to work for constantly 24 hours like recently when we went to Chhindwara we worked 7 days continuously day and night maybe at Max we have slept for two hours, but then also stamina was such that–
Interviewer: If you are doing meditation regularly then you will not have fatigue, the effects of regular meditation on your daily life is such that and you can do things remaining in balance. Apart from this if we ask you a question on behalf of our viewers that after coming to Sahaj yoga making time for meditation and looking after your family and household where there any problem in maintaining both this simultaneously?
Mrs Swathi: In the beginning I felt a little problem, looking after all the family members, my in-laws but when I started doing Sahaj yoga they observed the changes in me so they felt that there is something special in Sahaj yoga that it brought changes in me. So they requested me to tell them about Sahaja Yoga and now they are very much engaged in it,
so we told them that they do not have to do anything just we have to go there and meditate. Generally, the relationship with in-laws for a housewife it is always ups and downs be with mother-in-law or sister-in-law or other wives of the house.
Interviewer: It is part of life.
Mrs Swathi: But after coming to Sahaj now there is so much peace inside if someone insults you, you just listen to them peacefully and we do not react on it but later we make them realise that their way of behaving was wrong. So the quality which develops in ourselves and which is recognisable by others, and in this way when I told them about Sahaj yoga, now our whole family is doing Sahaja Yoga. In my paternal home, my brother, mother, aunts all are doing Sahaj yoga.
Interviewer: Friends, with changes happening in one person can bring change in so many people and as it is said Sahaj yoga is itself a big favour to mankind.
Swathi Ji is talking with us. She started Sahaj yoga for treating her daughter’s problem, that problem was gone. After that, the medical condition of her younger daughter was treated. She has slowly adopted Sahaj yoga and gradually started understanding it and seeing the changes inside her and others also started walking in that Path, on that journey where they wanted to find/see things that what she had got. The changes in the qualities inside her that made her a role model for other peoples so that they could also understand and know Sahaj yoga. Also to see the benefits people get after coming to Sahaj yoga. We will ask Swati ji one more question, Swathi ji you have said that Kamptee is about 22-25 km from Nagpur, the problems that were in your area there were many people who had to come to Nagpur for occupation or also for jobs they have to travel daily did you have done anything to spread Awareness of Sahaj yoga among them?
Mrs Swathi: There are 56 centres which start from Kamptee, in every village almost at a distance of 5-6 km in those places we have done the publicity, and one special thing that I want to mention is that there is a one yuvashakti group they are all doing Sahaj yoga for almost 14 to 15 years now. You may say that I am only telling about physical illnesses and diseases but it is a science, science teaches us to visit a doctor if we fall ill, but in Sahaj yoga, we become our own doctors and we got to know from which disease we are suffering and the reason behind it. Likewise, there was a girl in our locality she was suffering from fever, her parents approached me and said please do something for her she was not taking her medication and then also she carry on going college.
After visiting the doctor we came to know that is suffering from sickle cell, and it is such a disease that every month we have to donate blood to her, and there were other issues also people generally believe that people do not live long with that illness. When I first came to know about this I became distressed, and first before telling her about the disease we made her do the meditation for one month and then when we revealed her about the disease that she had – Sickle cell, and therefore she was prepared mentally and when she came to know about it that is exactly one year ago– doctor told that she had to take the medication throughout her life like a diabetic patient and four to five months ago her medication was also stopped. And she is very strong from the inside and she always said that it is because of meditation. She does meditation morning and in the evening. She did it regularly, she may miss dinner but not meditation. And because of meditation, her problem with Sickle cell got cured. So this can only happen with meditation and that is also in Sahaj yoga.
Interviewer: And you are spreading this in your region of Kamptee.
Mrs Swathi: Up to Kamptee, there are many centres which are opened and almost 40 to 45 people do meditation there. In many villages, it so happened that wives were very much distressed because of their drunk husband and when those ladies started doing Sahaj yoga their husbands to get the benefit and were able to get rid of addiction.
Interviewer: Viewers, very simple and very easy behaviour, and as we know that people who live in villages are very innocent, and Swati ji have presented an example for this. The benefits that she got and other people got, then after getting the benefits the responsibility that she took too spread this forward and therefore we salute her from the bottom of our heart and we hope that if this message proceeds forward there are many people in the world who have many many problems whose solution can’t be given by money. We’ll continue this journey of meeting new people and maybe we’ll get a solution of our problems in life. Give us permission to leave, it is this much for today thank you.
Narrator: Viewers this was our meeting with Mrs Swathi Ingde, and it always happens that whoever comes to our show and whatever they say somewhere they are linked with our life also. We hope that the journey of Swati ji will definitely help us so that we could get the solution of walking down this path walking down this path. This is all for today very soon we will meet a new guest until then give us permission to leave namaskar.
