1. I happened to read an article published in the Hindu newspaper about Swamiji’s healing powers, and I also came to know more about Him through my neighbor. I had been suffering from certain health problems. I went to meet Swamiji at His Bangalore City center. For a few days I used to just stand and watch Him healing others. One day as I stood in the queue for His darshan, I could feel warmth right from my heart welcoming me into His divine grace. That’s when I realized that there is much more to Swamiji than His physical form.
I had been suffering from backache, throat infection and headache for several years. I decided to take healing from Swamiji. During the first healing done by Swamiji, these symptoms reduced by 50%. After the complete 15 sessions of healing, my problems disappeared completely. I was further advised to attend the Ananda Spurana Program at Devanahalli, which Swamiji himself conducted. It was a great opportunity and unique experience to learn various meditation techniques and spend two whole days in the presence of this great enlightened Master. I came back from the program, a totally transformed person with a very positive frame of mind and feeling blissful. Since then there has been no turning back.
After being healed and attending the first ASP, I wanted to become a healer. I was asked to attend another ASP. around with a temporary brace on her knee, fixing food, chasing her triplets who were less than a year-old, and busily hosting this get-together. I had heard about her injury the week before, but now was witnessing her hopping around, trying to keep weight off her hurt knee.
Earlier that week she had been carrying one of her tots from the bedroom to the kitchen, which entailed stepping over a baby gate. As she stepped over the gate her toe caught the top and she began to fall forward with baby in arms. As she was falling she knew she would have to sacrifice her body in order to keep the baby in her arms safely. So down she went, landing directly on her bent knee on the hard tile floor, with baby in arms and with no way to slow her fall with her own hands. The baby was unharmed, but my friend suffered badly from the impact on her knee.
All that week she had been icing her knee, resting it as much as she could, and doing what she knew best to heal it. She had told me that she could not straighten it without excruciating pain, and also could not bend it fully. As the party came to an end, I asked if I could do a healing session for her. She happily found the couch and relaxed into a comfortable lying-down position. She said she had an appointment the next day to get a X-ray and diagnosis from a doctor. I went into Ananda Gandha, laid my hands on her knee for about 10 minutes and then said my goodbyes to her and her family.
The next morning at around 7:00 a.m. the phone at my home rang. She was on the line saying, 'I don't know what you did to me, but my knee is completely healed! I can walk on it, straighten it, bend it fully...all without pain! Thank you! Thank you!' Chills ran up my spine, 'It wasn't me!' I said.

4. Yesterday a man from Auckland asked to have a healing here in Rotorua, now a center for New Zealand. His whole hip was disintegrated (he saw from the latest MRI) from a boat accident 12 years ago. He walked in using a cane and in pain. I seated him in front of Swamiji's photo and placed my hands on his crown and anahata chakra. After 5 or 7 minutes I completed the healing and left the room. He remained seated in front of Swamiji's photo listening to the mantras for several minutes. When I returned he got up from the chair and walked. He said his whole hip had opened and he had no pain. He asked for a meditation he could do at home. He gratefully took with him the Nithya Dhyaan meditation CD and the audio of Guaranteed Solutions.
