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.
