How I Experienced the Greatest Miracle of My Life

I was only 16 when I did my first Art of Living course, Yes+. I was a medical student suffering from clinical depression. I had become a poor student, which was surprising because I was very good academically until the 10th grade.

It had been a week since I finished the course and I practiced the Sudarshan Kriya every day. I wanted to finish the 40 day challenge I got from my course teacher. My midterm result had just come in, too, and I had failed the Physics exam because of which a parent teacher meeting for me had been scheduled. My teacher, who was unsupportive and bias towards me because I did not take classes from her private coaching center, gave me my expulsion notice.

This notice left me devastated and I knew I couldn’t control anything after this point. My parents would be shameful. Unable to comprehend how to save myself, I decided to commit suicide. It was a lot of pressure. I wrote my goodbye letter for my parents and my boyfriend, handed them to my best friend, and bought a chemical used to kill pests to ingest it that night. And that’s when I got messages about a Satsang happening that evening. I wanted to have one happy evening so I decided to attend it.

During the entire Satsang, I kept my emotions and pain hidden and sang with others. After a short meditation, a volunteer and friend approached me and asked me what was wrong. I was shocked at how she understood what I was going through even though I tried to hide it. I couldn’t help myself and the truth came pouring out of me, I confided in her. I still remember how she calmed me down by telling me that Guruji is there for me. I have done the course, I am doing the kriya, so now all of this is a part of me. She talked to me so nicely but I kept thinking, how will he help me if I have never called out to him?

After reaching home, I opted to do my kriya instead of taking the poison. I hoped for the best as I went to the scheduled meeting the following day and couldn’t believe it when I heard that the meeting was cancelled. I realized that I am being looked after. I felt gratitude instantly. It wasn’t as bad as I hoped it would be and I got the chance to do better. From that day onwards, I have devoted 30 minutes of every day to do the Sudarshan Kriya. It gives me the strength to tackle every obstacle. Since then, it’s only been a caravan of miracles just started happening in my life.

Jai Guru Dev,
