Testimonial
Baba’s grace, I got the opportunity to serve Shirdi Saibaba at “I Love Sai” facility in Carpentersville, IL. I was suffering from Arthritis since a long time. For the past few months, my left knee and other joints were hurting a lot. I was not able to sit on the floor and when I walk, I was limping. My energy levels became so low. I was taking painkillers along with my other medications quite often. This made me worry a lot. At 53, I was walking like a 80-year-old. I did not want to depend on anyone when I grow old and also, I wanted to do more Baba Seva. I wanted to become healthy and energetic. I wanted to play with my grandkids and cook their favorite dishes. But I did not find a solution for that. So, one day, I prayed in front of Baba to help me and show me a direction to get better. I also told Him that if I recover from the pains, then only I could do more seva. Baba heard me and a miracle happened . Komal sings Kakad Aarti (morning aarti) on every Thursday at “I Love Sai” facility. I knew Komal for the past 15+ years. Recently it’s been a long time since I met her. Usually, I go to Baba temple on Thursday evenings. But that day as one volunteer could not go in the morning, I went in their place. Met Komal after a long time and shared my health problem with her. Komal told me about the 8-week program. I immediately decided and joined the program. I joined the program on August 10,2023. In the last 2months there is an amazing transformation in my health. I learnt a lot in these 2 months. Realized that the healthy food, ( i thought) I was eating earlier was doing more harm to me. Komal designed a meal plan which helped decrease my inflammation and also made me more energetic. She guided me each day. She taught me yoga philosophy, meditation and different yoga practices. With my body condition, I thought I could not do any of those poses. But slowly I started doing all poses and followed the recommended diet. I lost 18 pounds in 2 months; I became more energetic. My pains decreased and the biggest miracle is that my inflammation levels came back to almost normal (my blood work was done 10 days back). Now I can sit on the floor for one whole hour. Not taking pain medication anymore. Komal recorded yoga asanas and pranayama she taught in every class and shared those videos with me. She also shared audios of meditation. All the videos and audios helped me a lot during my practice at home. I also recorded my practice sessions of yoga and shared with her. She gave me weekly feedback. I enjoyed every session with Komal. We talked a lot about yoga, Baba miracles, healthy food, nature and how to be a kind and loving person. I will continue with my diet and yoga I learnt. I don’t know how to thank Komal for transforming my life!! May Baba bless her always. Komal is a very sweet, patient, highly knowledgeable yoga instructor and I strongly recommend her.
