I was so weak physically since my childhood. When I began my study in University, I found myself become weaker not only physically but also in the mental strata. I was almost not interested in anything and my confidence was decreased. I was almost hopeless and frustrated. I was so inferior.
One day a friend of mine came to know my condition and he suggested me to practice Yoga and Meditation although he himself did not practice. He gave me the address of Ananda Marga Yoga Center (Ashram). I was very happy to hear his suggestion and the following day I came to that address.
The first day I attended the Ananda Marga collective meditation, I do not understand anything and do not know any body. It is also the first time I saw an Indian Yoga Monk (Sanyasi) with his attractive cloth (orange uniform). The name of that Yogi was Acarya Iishvarakrsnananda Avadhuta.
I got initiation of Tantric Meditation from Acarya Iishvarakrsnananda Avadhuta in September 6, 1987. Since that day, Yoga, Meditation, and Vegetarian become my life style and I feel myself almost completely changed. My physical, mental, and spiritual wellness improves drastically. Then Acarya Iishvarakrsnananda Avadhuta gave me a new name “ANANDADEVA”.
In 1992 I dedicated myself as an assistant of the Acaryas to teach Yoga Asanas for public. I was also very closed with Acarya Rupatiitananda Avadhuta and very often accompanied him moving around Bali Island for guiding people to the path of Yoga and Meditation (path of bliss). I gave Yoga Classes in our ashram, schools, and some villages in Bali and North Sulawesi.
In the end of the year 2005 I got a chance to visit India. I visited some Ananda Marga Ashrams in New Delhi, Varanasi, Chandigarh, Ananda Nagar, Jamalpur, Patna, and Calcutta. I also visited some other historical and interesting places such as Taj Mahal, Lalkila, Rsikesh, Haridwar, Puranakila, Lotus Temple, Laksmi Narayan Temple.
India Gate, etc.
I got much more inspiration after visiting India.
I belief 100% whoever practice Yoga Asanas and Meditation will get much benefit physically, mentally, and spiritually. But I do not recommend anybody to learn Yoga and Meditation merely from the book without guidance from experienced instructor.
Books are only references. Thank you.
