I am professional sportsperson. Shot put and Hammer throw are my events and I am a national medalist; I have represented India twice internationally, and am a State record holder in above mentioned events.
Once, I fractured my right shoulder just before the Tamil Nadu State level competition. I consulted an orthopedic doctor and he advised me to drop my game. He asked me whether I had any other talents! I was shocked. I had this important competition in two days' time, and I was being told to develop some other talent!
My parents are initiated Nithya Spiritual healers and they saw how upset I was. They offered me healing every night for two days. On the day of the competition, I felt something good; I was slowly able to move my hands. I was hesitantly moving my right arm and practicing the same action. As I started feeling comfortable, I decided to attend the competition. I had straps in my shoulders and had a little bit of fear. I mentally prayed to Swamiji for strength.
At the very first throw, I broke the state record! I won a gold medal in that event. From then till today, I am still performing, and have gone on to break so many records in state and national levels. I am now one of the top 5 throwers in India and aiming for RIO 2016 Olympic Games.
Had I not had that healing that day, I would have lost everything that I loved. I have deep gratitude for Swamiji forever. His blessings are always there for me.
Thank you so much Swamiji.
