I was concentrating on my part-time degree classes and Professional Engineers’ association examinations from 1974 to 1982 without any importance to my health. Studying on the floor since my childhood was my bad habit that deteriorated my low back and weighing 152 lbs made it worse when I could not sit on a chair for more than 3-5 minutes. In May/June 1982, I started my six weeks’ vacation from the company I used to work for and on the first day of my vacation one of my best friends Ram Puri called me and told me that Rishi Prabhakar (Prabu) from Banglore is going to start Pranayam classes in his area in the coming week and that I must attend. I forgot my vacation and on the spot without any second thought; I told him that I am coming to attend. The same day my wife and I packed our bags and arrived at their house with my Granth Sahib we read every day but did not apply the teachings to our lives. At the time both my wife and I used to spend about $600 each for the Chiropractor and an average of $100 on pain killers but nothing worked. We attended Pranayam classes for seven days (no Asanas in these classes), but within three days I found my back pain was all gone and a voice came from within, “I got this gift for $300 and I shall give this gift free of charge to everyone in every corner of the world anywhere I go” Right after seven days Pranayam course, we were given a unique advanced course in the quiet wilderness where we experienced what life is all about and our Cosmic relationships with each other. I was also suffering from tennis elbows where I could not hold an empty cup with my left hand; six injections of Cortisone were given by my doctor. Every three months after temporary relief it will start to pain again. Now I demonstrate to lift 200 lbs weight with both arms and have a working record of sitting on a chair for 14 hours where before I could not sit on chair for more than five minutes.

I was calling every relative and friend to tell them what I learnt and what is available for them. Within first 40 days, doing one hour Pranayam in the morning and one hour in the evening, I was strictly on sprouts, fruits, vegetables and dry nuts and dry fruit. I did not even eat a chapatti for 40 days and my weight came down from 152 lbs to 130 lbs. The duration of my sleep time was shortened, considerably. My work habits changed drastically because I did not need any clock or watch any more. My weight within six months came to 120 lbs and since then till now at the age of 73 it is 118-120 lbs no more no less. I had so much confidence in proper deep breathing (Brain-Boosting Pranayam) that I met my Chiropractor one day and told him that he will never see my face ever again.

2-3 years later in summer 1985, Swami Om Anand Ji came from Orrisa to teach Viyayam Asanas. Doing Pranayam for one hour and Asanas for half an hour was long but I carried on for five years. As God’s voice kept coming every now and then, I kept modifying and combining the Asanas with Pranayam for maximum effectiveness. For 5 years I kept asking myself where I should start teaching others and. one day that God’s voice told me again to start where you are. I started passing the word to students and other Professor colleagues that I want to use a class room in the college to teach deep breathing exercises after working hours giving them my personal astounding experiences in my life. For 13 years I was holding Pranayam and Asana classes after college teaching hours. During two months’ vacation I would do nothing but thinking of where I should hold classes for two months. Since 1996 I am in Saudi Arabia and after working 10 hours I am committed and dedicated to teaching Brain-Boosting Breathing (3B-Yoga-Pranayam) to every friend I meet - Muslim, Christian, Sikh or Hindu.

I would run to sick people in hospitals and tell them I can help them to get better without any medicine but with their own breath that cost nothing because it is a priceless gift. I would only give this gift if they honestly and truthfully want it. It never worked if I tried to force the people as I did in the beginning in first few years. Over 31 years of my experience, I developed four sets of Pranayam combined with Asanas to boost the energy in the brain while holding the breath inside lungs and pulsing heart muscle. I have proved that every disease starts from the head side where every thought (positive leading to achieve health and negative leading to disease) starts.

Doing 3B-Yoga-Pranayam in meditative state with closed eyes and learning being one with almighty Godly Atma during all four sets of Pranayam takes the learner to leap into the higher state of mind (Cosmic) where one lives like a living dead with overwhelming potential he or she had never dreamed of in material world in action of duty. That is only possible with 24 hour freshness in the mind and body to operate in material life by keeping on boosting the brain centers with every breath during Pranayam and practicing the same 24 hours a day. Listening to and inspired by Swami Ram Dev Ji and Shri Shri Ravi Shankar Ji on Saudi TV in May 2006, it become my commitment and duty to mankind to pass my 26 years of self-experience of good health to the other respected fellow beings who had given up hopes to live.

Since 1982, I always woke up between 3:00-3:30am. I have never missed my 2-3 times Walk for half an hour after meals whether I am in India, Canada or Saudi Arabia, Breakfast at 5:00-6:00am after 1 hour of extensive 3B Pranayam with prayer and 30 minutes of Asanas. I would only eat little at a time. I am proud to say I am in good health at the age of 73. I am always calm and peaceful with smile on my face from my heart, not faking the smile and arrive at work one hour early and always come home one hour late when there is very little traffic. The employer benefits from my work but my extra two hours are in God’s/Allah’s name.

RECOMMENDATION

Good Health is our Birth Right and Brain-Boosting Breathing (3B) ancient Yogic breathing should be adopted by every human at home and school on this earth for new generations to enjoy a perfect healthy living.
