Reaching Out with Kriya Yoga 

Sanghamitra Chatterjee from Thane  was initially inspired by her maternal  grandmother and Swami Vivekananda to  tread the path of spirituality. Eventually, she took  to the path of Kriya Yoga, following the guidance  of Shri Gyan Maharaj. Sanghamitra holds three  postgraduate degrees, including one from IIM,  and has worked with reputed banks in India. 

Then, during one phase, her husband kept  meeting with accidents, one after the other,  and Sanghamitra just did not know what to do. Astrologers told her that he may die in this period, but she stuck to her faith in the Divine.  

She restarted her Kriya Yoga practice and kept  praying with faith for strength to get through  this period. She did extensive Kriya Yoga for his  benefit as he travelled regularly. Although he  met with a lot of accidents, he always recovered.  At one point, he thought it would be better to  travel by local train instead of driving. But,  as fate would have it, he fell onto the tracks.  Miraculously, someone pulled him up before the  train arrived and ran over him. This period of  accidents for her husband went on for seven years,  but the incidents during this period only served  to reinforce her faith. After this experience, she  never looked back. 

Using Kriya Yoga, Sanghamitra initially worked  to help autistic, dyslexic, and slow learners as she  felt that such children were suffering heavily due  to non-acceptance from their parents. She held  counselling sessions for them and one-on-one  healings. It gave her huge satisfaction to see the  children improving and the parents happy. 

Sanghamitra is also pleased to have played a  role in healing her domestic help’s husband,  who was a drunkard and disturbed the entire  family. She began healing him to be free of his  alcoholism, and in six months, he became free  of his addiction, much to the family’s delight.  

Sanghamitra’s mission is to reach out and  empower humanity with love, light, and  protection, and to create a community built  around true compassion. She has formed a  venture, Marigolds by Sanghamitra, to help  more healers use their skills and begin earning.  Participants from all over the globe have  responded to her efforts. 

Sanghamitra’s passion for healing through  Kriya Yoga will continue to inspire others like  her to contribute positively to society.

Zealous healer provides an  alternative to allopathy 

Satyendra Singh from Mumbai has had  a remarkable journey. At one point,  he had had 10 years of experience in  pharmaceutical sales and training. When he  was working in this industry, he found that  most people were not in need of medication  but emotional healing, yet all of them were  prescribed lots of medicines. Due to their side  effects, the allopathic medicines worsened many  cases. Satyendra came across some programmes,  teaching healing without medicines and started  attending many such workshops. He found that  the healing of most diseases and disorders can  be done without medicine, and whatever he  learnt, he practised on people. 

Now Satyendra has 26 years of experience  in subconscious mind and NLP training,  psychological counselling, and energy healing.  

He has been practising hypnotherapy, cell  regeneration, soul healing, and past life  regression therapy since 1998.  Once, a lady in Vashi, Navi Mumbai, Mrs Tina  Vig, around 40 years of age, came to Satyendra  with a 10-year-old shoulder and wrist pain.  

Within 45 minutes, he healed her, and she was  completely free of pain. It’s more than 10 years  now, and it has never relapsed. A lady, Shilpa M., was having very bad  relationships with her husband and her motherin-law. Just after a single session of past life regression and healing with Satyendra, her  relationships turned into very cordial ones after the cord connecting past life negative experiences  to this life was severed. 

A 30-year-old lady, Miss S Ingolkar, was  heartbroken and used to cry most of the time after  her breakup. She started living a normal life after  a single session of Satyendra’s healing through  hypnotherapy. 

There are numerous stories of miraculous healing  through Satyendra’s sessions, especially through  hypnotherapy and past life regression therapy.  Patients with problems such as migraine, arthritis,  dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, premenstrual  syndrome, thyroid disorders, addiction, allergy,  anxiety, depression, asthma, irritable bowel  syndrome, colitis, constipation, cystitis, fibroids,  insomnia, jaundice, gall bladder and kidney  stones, ulcer, psoriasis, and gastritis visit him and  are healed in just three to four sessions.

Who says healing is no  laughing matter? 

In January 2016, Sheetal Agarwal from Delhi heard about medical clowning for the  first time. “I was wowed by the concept and  wanted to experience the joy of sharing smiles,”  she says. There was no one doing this in Delhi.  Time passed by, but the thought of clowning  stayed with her.  

It was on July 9, 2016, that Sheetal clowned for  the first time, at a children’s hospital, Chacha  Nehru Bal Chikitsalaya (Delhi). Children  stopped crying and started smiling when the  clowns played with them. Parents shed tears  of happiness seeing their children smile.  Doctors and nurses were pleasantly amused.  And through all this, Sheetal was spellbound.  She realised that day that medical clowning  not only heals the patients but also the ones  practising it.  

Not wanting to give up this newly discovered  Sheetal: Laughter is th best medicinepassion, Sheetal quit her teaching job in 2018  to take up clowning full-time and founded  Clownselors in July 2018. Finding volunteers for  each clowning session and making Clownselors  sustainable has been the biggest challenge,  as this work is not looked upon as ‘work’ but  ‘charity.’ 

Nevertheless, many moments in Clownselors’  journey speak volumes for the impact it  creates. These inspire Sheetal to keep going  and not give up on what she started with all her  heart. For instance, recently, during one of the  clowning sessions at Dharamshila Narayana  Superspeciality Hospital, a man battling cancer  was in a lot of pain. She started doing laughter  exercises with him, in which he participated  zealously along with his family members, and  he started feeling better, leaving her ecstatic!  Another such moment which is etched in her  heart was when she was clowning for a patient  at Apollo Hospital on World Cancer Day. The  patient’s brother couldn’t hold back his tears  when he saw his cancer-ridden sister laugh and  respond to something after many months. He  was so touched that he approached her and  discretely handed her a 500-rupee note. When  she refused to accept it, he said with teary eyes,  ‘This is a brother’s blessing for making his sister  smile.’ Something he had given up all hope on.  That 500-rupee note meant all the world to her. 

Sheetal hopes that doses of laughter will  be given the same importance as doses of  medicine. After all, as they say, isn’t laughter  the best medicine?
