Nithyanandam,
My name is Sanjay Verma. I have a Masters in Computer Science from IIT and I live in San Jose in California where I work as a Strategic Planner in Semiconductor Industry .
I completed Level 1, 2 and 3 of Nirahara Samyama in December 2012 at Nithyananda Vedic Temple San Jose with the grace and guidance of my Guru Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
I had become highly indisciplined with food and eating habits – always eating heavy food in large quantities… So it was nothing sort of a miraculous experience to feel a blast of energy all the time despite not consuming any solid food at all… Simply unimaginable for a logical mind with lifetime of conditioning and habits which had taught that food and various supplements were the source of energy and strength… And here I was, feeling burdened to eat solid food even when Swamiji asked us to eat…
To my amazement, I came to personally experience that solid food caused me to become lethargic, overweight and would cause me to want to lie down right after eating… All through the Samyama I became much more active with regular Yoga, Meditations, Exercise and was complimented several times by friends and family about the glow on the face which I was also noticing. My body became much more in shape with clothes fitting a lot better… And I had a huge improvement in High BP.
By Master’s grace, I experienced energy emanating from the Throat (as explained as Amrita, the Nectar), sweetness on the tip of tongue and a much healthier sleep in general… What a liberating experience it was to be free from dependence on solid food… In a variety of ways, it also caused me to have to have much more time at hand as we were not going to restaurants or grocery stores as often or cooking and cleaning etc… But above everything: I experienced a highly elevated awareness, clarity and restfulness enabling much more effective Meditations.
So – I am looking forward to doing it again!
Hopefully, someday I would be able to become a Nirahari for life as several of my friends have now become…
My Heartfelt Thanks and Tremendous Gratitude to Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda for his Grace giving such a precious gift to Humanity. May we all benefit from this and be free from several of sufferings…
