THE MIRACLES OF SHIVAMBU 

Sona Kumar from  Mumbai who is thriving  at 78 was miserable at 50  due to severe knee pain. Her  knees hurt so much that she  couldn’t walk even a few steps. 

Dr Satish Vasa, her classmate’s  husband, asked her if she  would be open to starting a  new line of treatment for her  knees. Desperate, she agreed.  

He suggested  S h i v a m b u  C h i k i t s a  which involves  consuming one’s urine along with  making a few  dietary changes.  

Sona followed  the prescribed  diet and  abstained from  non-veg, alcohol,  and tobacco for  a month before c o m m e n c i ng  Shivambu. She  also excluded  excessively salty, sour, spicy food,  and white flour from her meals before the  therapy. 

 Dr Satish informed Sona  that urine application had  the power to heal wounds  too. Remarkably, within days,  Sona experienced relief from  knee pain, joint swelling, and  significant shrinkage in the  size of lipomas on her arms. She also had an extremely  painful ganglion cyst in her  right wrist which too stopped  hurting her after some  time. The recurring boils  on her hips, dried up and  didn’t return after applying  Shivambu for two days and  spider varicose veins that had  reached up to her ankles saw  substantial improvement. 

Incidentally, her sister, Mrs  Laaj Shahani accidentally  dipped her fingers in hot oil  while frying potato chips.  Instead of panicking, she  remembered Sona’s advice  and immediately applied  urine to the scald. Within  three days the boils as well  as the scar on her fingers  vanished. Sona says,  “When Dr Gaurav Khatri, a  consulting physiotherapist  who has known me for the last  eight years asked me about  the secret to my energy at  my age I told him about the  miracles of Shivambu. He  was simply amazed. Former  prime minister, Moraji  Desai, the most well-known  practitioner of Shivambu  Chikitsa remained healthy till  the age of 99.  

Overcoming challenges  heroically

Since he was a child,  Deepakk Raisingani of  Navi Mumbai had a keen  intuition. However, for the last  12 years, he suffered  from the effects of  black magic and other  paranormal forces. In  2019 he lost his job  for a very strange  reason. However,  he didn’t give up  and began helping people which he had  been doing part-time until then. Instead  of complaining and  being miserable,  Deepakk kept  r e m e m b e r i n g  Mahavatar Babaji,  Kaali Maa,  Lord Shiva, and  Hanumanji. The  masters and supreme energies  blessed him with some new  processes of healing and  clearing the human body and  subconscious blocks. Their  energies made Deepakk  stronger and better and he  realised that we all carry  an element of the supreme  energy within us as well as the  power to connect to our past  lives. Having experienced  a complete transformation,  

Deepak realised the  importance of helping others  to change their belief systems  and has made this his life mission. For instance, a girl  who was unable to conceive  came to him. Medically there  was no reason for this problem.  Deepakk checked her past life  and found that she carried a  lot of anger for being treated  poorly as a girl in her growing up years. In another lifetime,  she had four children whom  she had lost to a flood in their  city. Consequently, she had  taken an oath never to have children which manifested in  this lifetime. He cleared all  these blockages and within  25 days, she conceived and  delivered twins who are  now six years old.  

After enduring neglect,  pain, and trauma, many  people have learned  to live with awareness,  confront their fears, and  enjoy freedom through  Deepakk’s help. 

Today, Deepakk tells  everyone never to feel  weak but to tune into  one’s strength and  remain balanced in  life. All his modalities  are modelled around  clearing blockages to  attract abundance in  life. He is glad to have helped  many in this process. We  can see how hardships made  him connect to his spiritual  strengths and help others. He  teaches his students to have  goals, and craft a future which  always shines brightly when  we learn our lessons.  

He has many students across  India and takes classes on  Zoom empowering them to  live in awareness. 

The Bamboo warrior The Bamboo warrior 

Ankit Kumar Changawala from  Surat in Gujarat was always  passionate about nature, design  and sustainability. He studied at Veer  Narmad South Gujarat University in  civil engineering, did a course in interior  design and is currently working as an  assistant professor at the same university.  Ankit’s association with the university has  benefitted him in many ways. 

Knowing his interest in bamboo, the  university made him attend the World  Bamboo Workshop in 2019 in Manipur. It  gave him so much impetus that on coming  back he organised many workshops in the  university.  

Ankit started a project to help the bamboo  artisans in south Gujarat and self-funded  it to explore the local species of Bamboo.  Even as a full-time faculty member who  has academic as well as administrative  responsibilities, he worked on weekends  with artisans in their village to empower  them. He then patented a chair which was  crafted from Bambusa bamboo, a locally  abundant variety found in South Gujarat,  to promote the use of bamboo in furniture  making. According to Ankit the chair is  sturdy and can last for many years.  

This variety of bamboo has a great load bearing capacity and is abundantly  available in the area where he lives. Ankit  says that instead of importing from other  nations, people should buy locally, thus  making the product affordable, commercially viable  and good for local artisans. 

He is happy that the Gujarat government has  released plenty of schemes for the farmers to  encourage them to grow the plant. He has created  many bamboo products and aspires to continue in  this field. 

Ankit hopes to make bamboo a popular material in  architecture, interior, and furniture design and aims  to empower bamboo artisans. He wants the younger  generation of artisans to consider this field as a  viable commercial option. 

As a teacher passionate about his craft and promoting  it, we will hear more about him and his craft in a  world that is looking for sustainable solutions.
