YOGA VIDYA PRANIC HEALING FOUNDATION
OF SOUTH MUMBAI
THE POWER OF
WESAK
The auspicious day of Wesak, also
known as Buddha Purnima commemorates
the birth, the enlightenment, as well as the
physical death of the Lord Buddha. Of all the
full moons in the year, the Wesak full moon
is believed to be the most powerful.
According to legend, at the exact time of
Wesak every single year, the Lord Buddha
makes a tremendous sacrifice for humanity
by coming down to earth, and pouring forth divine energy and spiritual
blessings. It is further believed that the Christ, as the representative of
humanity, receives these blessings and distributes them to all of humankind.
The Lord Christ acts as a “step-down transformer” who stands between the
Lord Buddha and Humanity. All of this takes place in the inner world, in a
valley on the northern side of the Himalayas, not far from the frontier of
Nepal.
In GMCKS’ autobiography The Origin of Modern Pranic Healing & Arhatic
Yoga, there is an illuminating anecdote about Wesak, as reported by a
friend of GMCKS:
“One day we went to the house of Mang Nenet in the late afternoon to
practice a meditation for the Wesak Festival. He told me to meditate alone in
the balcony because the living room was reserved for his disciples only.
However, he allowed MCKS to remain in the living room to meditate with
the group.
After about an hour, the group asked me to join them in the living room. They
were discussing what they had seen clairvoyantly during the Wesak
Festival.MCKS reported that, "While floating in front of the very large body
of the Lord Buddha during the Wesak, He felt like a small
mosquito floating. It seemed that there were arrows radiating
out of the body of the Lord Buddha". Later MCKS realised that
these "arrows" coming out of the Lord Buddha's body were
actually rays of light.
IN ESSENCE
Om Mani Padme Hum
Om Mani Padme Hum is a powerful
mantra that is chanted during the Wesak
Full Moon Meditation. It is imbued with
tremendous Love, Mercy, and
Compassion. Buddhist monks and spiritual
practitioners have chanted this mantra for
centuries.
Chanting this mantra evokes a powerful
vibration up to a certain radius, in all 8
directions, and on all levels of existence.
The radius depends on the quantity of
people chanting the mantra, and also their
level of spiritual development. All beings
who come within the radius of this
vibration, experience healing effects on the
physical, etheric, astral, mental and
spiritual levels. Moreover, the mantra’s
power can be harnessed to improve your
health, finances and relationships, as a
result of which it is often known as the
"Wish Fulfilling Mantra".
The mantra has several other benefits and
applications, which are revealed to
students in the course, ‘Om Mani Padme
Hum’ by GMCKS.

Mang Nenet told MCKS that He had described it correctly. He
said he had also projected himself into the Wesak Festival.
Mang Nenet concurred that what MCKS had seen was the
same as that which he had observed.According the Mang
Nenet, the arrows are actually blessings from the Lord Buddha
to the world.” These blessings are only transmitted once a year
during Wesak and therefore, for a spiritual practitioner, this
day is extremely important and sacred.
“For the Blessing to flow through you, you have to be physically and energetically clean; otherwise, there will be
resistance, once the body is clean, the body can easily absorb the fresh Energy generated through Meditation.” – GMCKS
MARCH – APRIL 2015
THE POWER OF WESAK Continued….
On this day, the spiritual practitioner’s Higher Soul gets the
opportunity to immerse itself in a downpour of Divine Energy. This
energy can be used to purify one’s chakras and physical
body, as well as bless one’s family, projects and personal goals.
The energy is also used by the spiritual practitioner to bless
Mother Earth. As a result of this, the practitioner generates
tremendous amounts of good karma.
In fact, the Wesak festival, gives the spiritual practitioner the
opportunity to be of great service to Humanity. This is because as
the spiritual practitioner mediates, he or she is charged with potent
spiritual blessings. This energy feeds the practitioner’s Higher
Soul and the Incarnated Soul and results in spiritual development
to a certain degree. So from one level, the meditator is a recipient
of the divine energy, but from a higher perspective, he or she is a
channel through which the divine energy is spread or distributed to other life forms or kingdoms of life on the planet. The
meditator thus acts as a step down energy transformer, helping the planet easily absorb the divine energy.
To sum up, it is useful to draw on the Holy Master DK’s simple, yet powerful words: “No cost is too great to pay in order to
be of use to the Hierarchy at the time of the Wesak Festival; no price is too high in order to gain the spiritual illumination
which can be possible at that time.”

Deeper insights: Preparing for Wesak
In order to maximize the downpour of divine and spiritual energies during
Wesak Full Moon Meditation, it is critical to purify yourself physically and
psychologically.
Ideally, the preparation and purification schedule should be followed 7 days
before Wesak and 7 days after Wesak. The schedule before is to ensure that
we are purified enough, to be able to absorb and channel the maximum
possible amount of Divine blessings. The schedule after is to ensure that we
absorb and assimilate the received spiritual energies to the fullest and
properly distribute them to every person and every being on earth.
Daily Recommended Schedule during Wesak:
• Adhere to a proper, healthy diet (Refer to Advanced Pranic
Healing, pp.31-32)
• Exercise daily, especially before and after your Meditation
(Refer to Advanced Pranic Healing, pp.33-35)
• Practice character building, including inner reflection, firm resolution
(Refer to Basic Pranic Healing, pp.288-291)
• Practice the Meditations you have learnt
• Keep a calm, happy, gentle inner disposition or mood during these days.
This routine will allow for intense purification, and will maximize the Divine Energy flowing through you during the Wesak
meditation.

love and wisdom of God Himself can pour to a waiting and needy world…(cont.)

LIVING IN THE HEART OF THE TEACHER
Being an instructor in the GMCKS Pranic Healing School is quite extra ordinary!
There is a great increase of light not to mention the good karma. To really
understand something you must teach it. As you help others grow, your growth
accelerates. Becoming an instructor is truly one of the best decisions I’ve taken.
- Mekhla Muttoo
My journey with the South Mumbai Foundation has been most amazing one. I felt
literally handpicked by Master to work for the Foundation. I remember returning to
Pranic Healing after a long break, and was lucky to attend the 1st retreat by Master
at the ashram. On my way back, I met our pretty past MT, Mekhla Muttoo, who
introduced me to Kaanan, and thereafter I met the rest of the team at the WTC
Foundation office. Since then there has been no looking back. Together we have
worked hard, fought, reconciled, had fun, surpassed great challenges and with
Master's blessings, saw great success. It’s hard to believe that 10 years have
passed, but for centuries to come we will love each other, and our teacher, and
work together to manifest his dream - Heaven On earth! May God and Guru bless
all. Thank you Master for the opportunity to serve!
-Vivek Doshi
Newly introduced to Pranic Healing, I was narrated various parables given by
GMCKS, by our trainers. Later, I heard the same stories from our beloved teacher
through his videos, it was wonderful to see the accuracy with which the trainers
of South Mumbai had transmitted master’s original teachings to us. Today, 10
years hence, being a Basic and Advanced trainer, I try to maintain the same level
of precision in my work. I feel proud to be a part of this great legacy and hope to
see it touch ever new heights!
- Pratichi Kanodia
I am nearly 5 years old a trainer. I feel very lucky to have been nurtured by some of the
best senior trainers. They kept me enthusiastic about Teacher's work, and have set an
example, that continues to reinforce our commitment to the Teacher. This journey would
also have been incomplete without the love and patience of Shanti, Rashida and Satishour office staff, who work hard in ensuring our classes go smoothly. From sending out
regular emails and messages, to all the other administrative things, they have been a
huge pillar of support. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire
foundation.
- Shrishti Mehra
My journey as a Basic Trainer has been an enriching experience. It has made me
more dedicated to be a part of the mission in spreading the work of the Teacher.
It has taught me to be responsible not only for my own progress, but also train
myself to shoulder a bigger responsibility of nurturing the new souls, to become
a part of this mission of GMCKS, and thereby help accelerate their spiritual
progress. Like the Teacher says ‘ If you want to master a subject - Teach it’. I
am indeed grateful to the Teacher for this opportunity. - Akila Krishnan
My journey as a Trainer was an end for a long search to find what my soul purpose is, and
the beginning of a beautiful journey. i am very grateful to be a part of the South Mumbai
Foundation, and this school which is a part of the divine plan. The board of trustees have
been extremely supportive and i take this opportunity to thank each one of them. Wishing all
at the foundation many congratulations and success.

LIVING IN THE HEART OF THE TEACHER
Although I learnt my Basic Pranic Healing as a student of Maharashtra Foundation,
my real journey with the school began when I attached myself with the South
Mumbai Foundation. There used to be a lot of breaks in my practices, but with the
inspiration and support of all the members I have streamlined them, and now have
even become a trainer and found my real purpose in life. I am deeply grateful to the
entire staff and committee members for their unflinching support and wish the
Foundation a very Happy 10th year celebration and many many more to come!
- Sonal Gokal
Dawning one of my soul purposes, I became a trainer with the West Bengal Foundation in
2011, but soon shifted to Mumbai in 2012, wherein I joined the South Mumbai Foundation.
Being new to the city, few senior trainers helped me familiarize myself with the work
culture, and the Foundation helped me plan my classes. It’s a privilege to serve Guruji's
mission by being an instrument to spread his Teachings. A big thank you to the Trustees,
fellow PH Instructors, co- workers and our admin staff, for their kind support always!
- Manasi Somani
The South Mumbai Foundation is called my parent foundation, for me it is
true in the realest sense. Everyone affiliated with the foundation, the board,
the staff, and my mentor, have all been a fantastic role model. And they
continue to inspire me, to nurture me to be a better Instructor, a better
Healer, a better Person.
- Omkar Shridhar
My journey with South Mumbai foundation started some 8 years back. In the
wildest of my dreams, I had never thought of becoming a trainer. The credit
for this goes to my husband who changed my mind, and introduced me to
this beautiful organization and family. Here I met many seniors and pranic
healers, who became my friend, philosopher and guide, and helped me take
on the right path. I started taking part in various foundation activities,
trying to help them as much as possible. Though its just been 8 years of
association, it seems ages. It gives me great satisfaction working, and
learning new things all the time. Thank you Master for giving me
opportunity to serve, and I hope to continue the same. Love u Master. May
we as a team and as a foundation grow rapidly and quickly. Thank you
- Ashita Doshi
My main reason to learn Pranic Healing was to heal my body, where aches and pains
were a part of my daily life after a serious accident in 2000. After suffering from
painful Spondylosis and frozen shoulder for 9 years, I felt completely relieved in a
span of 3 months. This was more than a miracle for me, and motivated me to
introduce Pranic Healing to my friends and family. The foundation gave me various
opportunities of service, where I could participate in healing camps or serving food
in NGO's to children and senior citizens. All this and my good health inspired me to
spread Master’s work in whatever small way I could. With the help of the
foundation and Master’s blessings, today I am a Basic Instructor where I can
introduce others to this magical world of abundance and be a part of Master’s
vision.

RECAP
GMCKS Arhatic Yoga annual retreat: January & February 2015:
The Arhatic Yoga annual retreats of India at Kerela were attended by 1600+ participants, and Varanasi by 1200+ participants.
Both the venues saw numerous Arhatic Yogis from the South Mumbai Foundation. Under the guidance of Acharyas, and
together as one big family, they purified, meditated and learnt higher teachings from Guruji directly through his videos. The
retreat left them rejuvenated and highly energized to take on the new year with fresh aspirations and goals!
The 10th Anniversary celebrations of South Mumbai Foundation: 21st -22nd
Feb & 1st March
The 10th anniversary of our Foundation saw 2 weekend long celebrations! It was
an honour to have Acharya Hector and Acharya Daphne with us, and grace this
very special occasion:
21st February : 10am to 2pm: The celebrations began with a powerful session
on “Healing” by Acharya Hector. He shared advanced techniques of scanning,
cleansing and energizing, along with the practice of Twin Hearts meditation. All
the 200+ participants felt recharged after self- healing sessions, and more
inspired to heal others.
5pm to 8pm : 250 Arhatic Yogis attended this Study session by Acharya Hector,
where he spoke of the evolution of various root races of our planet Earth. His explanation of this very
esoteric topic made it very interesting and relatively easy to understand.
The same was followed by a session for Arhatic Yoga Level 1 & 2 practitioners, wherein, an in- depth knowledge and
understanding of the techniques were discussed.
22nd February : In an initiative to serve the society, the South Mumbai
Foundation began a drive of free healing camps for a healthier Mumbai,
namely the "Pranic Heal- a- thon". Being the first of a series, it began on
the morning of 22nd February at The Victoria Memorial School for the
Blind. Acharya Hector's presence in the camp inspired all the 40 volunteers,
as he blessed the camp. About 85 walk ins were introduced to the
wonderful world of energy, and they experienced free healing and learnt
Meditation on Twin Hearts. The session ended with the healers healing the
differently abled children of the school.
5pm to 9pm : The “GRAND CELEBRATION” in the evening began with
the Foundation acknowledging all its Trustees and Instructors with gifts
blessed by Acharya Hector. All felt very special, and the Trustees shared a
few words and funny bones on their journey with the Foundation! Our
advisory board member, Hemal Shah was also present to congratulate us.
The Trustees of the Maharashtra Foundation were also present to extend their best wishes to us. This was followed by a
powerful and detailed Twin Hearts Meditation which was guided by Acharya Hector where the participants meditated on
each word and truly understood the meaning of each phrase. The session was attended by 500+ participants.
For the Blessing to flow through you, you have to be physically and energetically clean; otherwise, there will be resistance,
once the body is clean, the body can easily absorb the fresh Energy generated through Meditation.” – GMCKS
MARCH – APRIL 2015

celebrations the Foundation organised a
