I’m Blathur Haridass, A Career-Edu-Coach, and a Student-Counselor aged about 53 yr old now (AD 2020). I’m 53 yr old now. I have been a regular (?) practitioner of yoga for the last 30 years. Here regular I mean, at least 1-2 times in a week, simple ‘asanas’ plus ‘Sarvanga-asana’. But in between, after a train accident, it was totally neglected. I think it was between 2011-14.
Around 2014, I was severely down with Diabetes with the first time detected score of 590. But with the grace of a wonderful doctor at Chennai (Dr. Bhoochandran), within 3 months I came to a stage of once a day insulin injections from 3 times a day initially. Within the next six months, he told me even I can stop the medication. But I took medication for the next 3 months once a day 1mg of Glimepiride alone. The total consultation with him, I believe, was around 6 times in that entire treatment period.
By this time, I restarted to do yoga on a daily basis. After that, until now, I never needed to consult a doctor for the same again. I don’t know, this credit should be given to yoga or not, but as long as my experiences are concerned, it works. I got the conviction to do yoga from an earlier medical testimonial of myself. It was when I’m studying in Chennai Govt.Music College, in 1989, I had my first nasal surgery on Rhinosporidiosis. Even though it’s a kind of risk of non-stop bleeding, I agreed to undergo it and successfully came out. It is repeated 7 more times because while operating, the seeds of these fungi will be distributed to other areas through the secreted blood.
Two years after my 8th surgery, I had an accident that broke my facial bone close to my eye and got scanned thoroughly and consulted with my ENT doctor to inquire about my Rhinosporidiosis status. To my surprise, he told me it was not cleared but no growth had been seen. That definitely must be the result of my yoga practice. My own testimonials inspired me to speak about yoga whenever I get a chance in any given group.
I’m the kind of person who never promotes anything if it can’t show me solid proof of its claims. Hence it may take more than expected time to convince me of a particular thing. It took almost 5 years to decide to focus and to gather all the related pieces of information on this topic. Hence this channel has been designed in such a way that all like-minded people can benefit from these time tested and authentic sources of information for healthy peaceful living on this mother earth.
My Verdict:
Follow Yoga religiously for a healthy, fit physique, and strong mind supported by a longer life. Take care.
