Interviewer: Friends you are all welcome in this special presentation of News Dnn Sahaja Yoga a unique Discovery and gift to mankind. If you talk about our title, its significance, its meaning becomes clear with the guest who joins us in every episode they are telling us how big this Discovery is and how great this blessing is for mankind. It is said that you don’t need to state the obvious, and maybe it is the only way where we directly meet Sahaj Yogis who are associated with Sahaj yoga for many years, and the most beautiful aspect in this meeting is the people who are coming to meet you as they are from different fields and in this episode we have Sachin Patil who is from Jalgaon. Mr Sachin Ji, you are welcome in News Dnn studio.
Mr Sachin Patil: Thank you.
Interviewer: Sachin Ji is a technical manager in an Infotech company, but before we begin our discussion we would like to know from Sachin Ji that when he started his journey in Sahaj yoga? I would like to ask you on behalf of our viewers that when did you stepped in Sahaj yoga?
Mr Sachin Patil: 2009.
Interviewer: So not that much time has passed.
Mr Sachin Patil: I join Sahaj in July 2009 and I joined a company in 4th June, and in the 4th June only– we were already practising and we know about the kundalini awakening from our childhood, when we were in 9th standard then we used to have the discussion with our friends regarding Kundalini Jagran.
Interviewer: In 9th class?
Mr Sachin Patil: In 9th standard that too in a convent school, while reading in an English medium our friends– and one of our friends was very good at reading and he used to participate in the debate for our school, and he used to win prizes in state and in national level also. And while sitting with him we used to discuss with him about history and spirituality. And he had told us these things and I had already read Swami Vivekananda, Swami Yogananda and shri Paramhansa Ramkrishna and I had also read about Ram das Swamiji. So while reading them I got know much about Kundalini Jagran but I didn’t believe that in Kali Yuga that in this time which is going on in this period we can awaken our Kundalini Shakti.
Interviewer: And if we think for our viewers, that the first day when you join the company and the invitation that you got for Sahaj yoga and Kundalini Shakti its reason might be the affinity that you had in your childhood about spirituality I need become its reason then you accepted in the first day “yes but I have to do it”.
Mr Sachin Patil: No, I haven’t accepted it the first day, but I try to understand that what is being told to me about Kundalini Jagran. And for 1.5 months in office, I was doing it simply because I was requested by the proprietor and other friends. But I didn’t feel any experience at that time. And regarding this, I had a great argument with one of our colleagues. And it was 12 pm noon and it was the month of July I didn’t remember the exact date properly, and I knew exactly at that time we had 40-41 degree Celsius in Nagpur, and in that hot temperature our discussions were also getting heated and one of my friends said to me that first you make your mind at peace and if you want to understand this topic you can only understand with experience and we could not understand it with any amount of discussion or bookish knowledge. And in the online website www.sahajyoga.org.in, the audio is there of Shri Mataji, nectar-laden voice, where Shri Mataji is making us do the seven steps of self-realization and he started to play that. And I was sitting up on the chair in the office and there I took the realization. I tell you the realization that I took, as Shri Mataji’s voice ended and she said to check what you are experience in your fontanel bone area? It was such that I was seeing around me, I was experiencing a chilled aura around me. And I was experiencing that as if my brain was brought out from a freezer, so it was very cold.
Interviewer: So the hot waves, the hot atmosphere that was there previously was converted into the cold.
Mr Sachin Patil: I became very frightened I was looking all around me I thought “why I am feeling cold”, from the palms of my hands the cold Breeze where coming out and from Sahasrara cool Breeze was coming out. I felt it for almost half an hour. And after experiencing that I thought “yes that was something different which happened with me” I haven’t read about it anywhere and nor anybody has told me.
And from that day I started doing meditation regularly, started doing foot soaking in the morning and night, doing meditation in the morning and night. And for one year i practice it. I haven’t brought my family in Nagpur at that time. I could literally feel the rising of my Kundalini in my sushumna, and I would feel it in my 5th Chakra that is vishuddhi Chakra. And today also I feel consciousness in both of my hands and in my sahasrara.
Interviewer: Sachin Ji as you’re telling me about the childhood you are inclined to spirituality so your education was related to that all it was entirely a different field?
Mr Sachin Patil: Yes my education was entirely in different field. I had argued with my father and did masters in Geology. You can also say that it is God’s will because my father wanted me to appeared in UPSC exam or to start my own business but I didn’t have any interest in both of them though I have tried, I studied also, I kept appearing in UPSE exams, and also tried for trading, I set a business for three year. But I didn’t have any Interest in that and therefore I could not make any progress in it. And after doing masters there was no special hope for getting any job but in from the campus I was selected. And I came to Nagpur.
Interviewer: So when you did all these attempts were you there in Sahaj Yoga?
Mr Sachin Patil: No at that time I was not in Sahaj.
Interviewer: So these were all about before you got this job. You are in infotech company and you had your own profile. How Sahaj Yoga helped you in maintaining your profile and doing your work and in managing your stress level?
Mr Sachin Patil: There is a very astonishing thing that is when I was doing Master’s degree and the most problem that I had was with travelling and I had done NCC, and I had noticed that from fifth day onward I was starting to suffer from dehydration and that deteriorated my health. So I was rejected from the state level. And when I joined this job, as a part of the job I had to go to different places and stay there for five days or 15 days. You have to give training in different software and I didn’t have any knowledge of software till Masters, and I used to study software in my office, through email correspondence or studying in night discussing with the principal and then I used to deliver the training. And it so happened that I was about to give training in Modelling softwares which I had never did and as it was for the first time so I requested my proprietor sir to give me a little time because I have to do little practice but the university was forcing us to deliver the training and deliver the product and you have to close it within 30th March. And I was about to give six days training, three days training on ground water and another three training days on watershed modelling. And at that time I was in a very difficult situation. So I used to pray to Shri Mataji though I meditated regularly.
I used to practice daily from day to night up to sometimes till 2.00am, and at first attempt, I wasn’t able to deliver the training in a good manner. And then I came back and again I practised and after that when I delivered I had great satisfaction. And three days training on groundwater went well and also the three days training on watershed went well. So I realised that while you are reading/ studying you are doing too much tension and therefore you are not able to leave it on God, so our attention goes on “I will do” and when I realised after coming back then I prayed to shri Mataji that “please make me do this training”. And I do not have experience and I consider myself as complete zero. When I did that, and when I deliver after practice you could not believe the training was a great success and all the staff and students were very very happy and also our proprietor sir was also very happy.
Interviewer: So somewhere it is emerging through your experience that despite having good qualification until we remain attached to something and until we have that “I am doing” feeling despite doing so much meditation you are not able to let things on God’s responsibility. But when you started doing Sahaj yoga and somehow that self-ego goes away and you started to rely on god that he is the one who does it all. And if you bestow all your responsibilities on him and just concentrates on your work, that is exactly what is said in Bhagavad Gita “that you do work do not think of the fruit”. And Sahaj somehow awakens that quality inside you, that you do your work and let the fruit be given by God. Like “God I do not know anything it is you who is making me do all these things”. So Sachin ji we are having a very interesting discussion with you, now we want to talk something important, you have told about your occupational life and it’s difficulties. What difference that you felt in your family life while doing Sahaj yoga and you have said that you studied geology arguing with your father and completed your education. So after you came to Sahaj what was your relation and difference/similarity of opinion with him? And after marriage how Sahaj yoga helped you in your married life?
Mr Sachin Patil: You have asked a very important thing when introspection increases inside us after doing meditation in Sahaj that we could understand where we are doing the mistakes and where we are doing the wrong behaviour. Earlier I didn’t have a good equation with my father. Because he used to think that I was not doing anything.
Interviewer: It happens with all, parents think that the child is not doing anything and the child thinks that “I am doing too much and they can’t see it” so it is universal problem.
Mr Sachin Patil: So I was doing the hard work and my parents were thinking that I was not doing anything, sitting idle. So it was my biggest problem but after coming to Sahaj I was able to understand what my father wanted to say and how I should behave with him i.e how I should arrange my statement before speaking to him, and when I started doing it then my relationship with him became so good that now whenever I talk with him, he always speak sweetly though he doesn’t do Sahaj. And he feels joy after talking with me that he always remain happy with me.
Interviewer: And your married life?
Mr Sachin Patil: My married life is very beautiful, my relation to my wife is very healthy, and she is also doing Sahaj. She joined one year after me. And our daughter was born after coming to Sahaj. And our two children are doing Sahaj. And both of them are having a good education and also they are good at sports and they have a great interest in Sahaj, they go to the centre, and they chant mantras very nicely and do foot soaking and all the treatments in Sahaj, all the bhajans–
Interviewer: And we can think that after coming to Sahaj your life got a direction that was necessary.
Mr Sachin Patil: It was very necessary.
Interviewer: And it kept you in relation to others and made it also strong. So, friends, this was our meeting with Mr Sachin Patil, from Jalgaon. Friends one thing that came up in this discussion is that without doing any effort the miracles that Sahaj yoga did in the life of Sachin Ji, and the most important thing in it is today is that we spoil most of our relationship due to our ego. And as he mentioned that his parents were thinking he can’t do anything, maybe they are true in their opinion or he was right in his opinion, but it is not the topic of discussion, that who was right and who was wrong?
The main point is that both of their egos were clashing and due to this a beautiful, a valuable relation– it is said that there is no God above mother and father, and the one who cannot worship their mother and father what will they do by worshipping God. And the relation which was having some compatibility issues was sorted out after doing meditation. Also, the quality of his life improved.
Friends today we will be having this much discussion only. We are very much grateful to Sachin Ji that you have come to our studio and share your experience and therefore we are grateful to you. Friends the most important thing our journey is continuing faces will change it may happen that the new faces that will come may not be professionally very sound, they may not be very wealthy, maybe they are very simple living people but in that simplicity, there must be some spark of greatness. That they are satisfied in life, our search will never end, our thirst will never cease but if one thing that comes inside us that is satisfaction and every aspect of our life gets a direction and when we get direction, automatically our condition improves. This is all for today give us permission to leave, namaskar.
Narrator: So viewers this was our meeting with Mr Sachin Patil a resident of Jalgaon, he said that how Sahaj yoga changed his life and what are the benefits he got. Soon we will be meeting with another person and knowing his experiences in this spiritual journey until then give us permission to leave namaskar.
