Spiritual Experience and activities:

Strict and thorough scientific practice of ‘Ashtang Yoga’ described by Patanjali for a period of 2 years in 1978-79 lead to a level of achieving Pranayama Gati to 2 respirations per minute continuously for one hour. This is Pranayama Siddhi’. Further steps of Pratyahar, Dhyan and Dharana lead him to a level of ‘Samadhi’ experienced during this period. This ‘Samadhi-Sachchidananda’ was an experience by itself that can not be described in words and needs to be experienced by one himself. The motive behind this ‘Yog-sadhana’ was to find out the medical basis behind this ‘Yoga-science’ and that was achieved. Today, he is ready with a research material analyzing the medical basis of various states of body and mind while practicing yoga. His ‘Guru’ for this study was a book ‘Patanjali Yoga Sutra’ written by Shri Kolhatkar and later a great saint, the late ‘Muni Mishrilalji, a disciple of late ‘Muni Ganeshmalji Maharajsaheb’. Preparations are going on to publish this prime research on ‘Kundalini’
