Mr Srinivas Kantheti, Consultant from Mumbai, age 54 who was on several medicines for high blood pressure and had a few other complaints, including osteoarthritis due to which both knees had been operated on, wrote as follows:
“It’s slightly more than a month since we first met at the SHARAN 21-day Health Retreat.
While the camp per se ended a couple of weeks back and the results were nothing short of amazing, I wanted to update you on the journey since then.
It’s been only two weeks but I am seeing major changes physically, mentally and spiritually.
Physically I am getting lighter every day with a total weight release as of now of 11.5 kgs (this is in 5 weeks!) My trousers are getting loose and the only reason I am not shopping for new clothes is that I feel confident that another 5 kgs will be released over the next six months.
My BP is now in the 120 /80 range with half a Coversal which maybe I can drop soon.
The body has started healing itself. I had an attack of cold and fever last week which got cured on its own without any medication.
Physically I am feeling energetic, looking forward to walking and yoga every day. The long walks at Mumbai Airport are no longer a challenge.
I like my face in the mirror and have been complimented by friends on my radiance. Overall, I am feeling younger.
Mentally, I am much calmer. I am more in the present and enjoying my old loves of music, reading and photography.
One important experience in the last two weeks is the complete absence of attraction towards tea, coffee, alcohol, non-veg food, dairy products, fried food and packaged food. It’s not a question of will power. Will power is needed where one has to resist an attraction. Thanks to the knowledge, techniques and skills learnt at the 21-day workshop, I have come out of SwaSwara with a mental make up where these addictions have no longer any attraction.
In the past I had paid just a cursory attention to animals and to nature / environment. WFPB diet is the centre stone to expand spiritually by including all of God’s creatures in our compassion.
The food we eat makes us the persons we are. WFPB diet is the way nature intended for us to live. I feel every day that I am getting more and more integrated with nature. This for me is as much a spiritual journey as a mental and a physical one.
I want to express my gratitude and heartfelt thanks to all the five of you – Dr Nandita, Nandini, Mayavi, Capt Joesph and Dr Sarvanan – for guiding me on this path and unlocking this marvellous world for me.” – Srinivas Kantheti, Mumbai
