Duke Bhandari
Businessman

I used to think that meditation and spiritual practice were all nonsense.Then came the COVID period,my wife and all  the seekers started attending GuruMaai's online satsang . My stock market work would end around the same time. I would sit in another room and just listen. The impact was such that my faith and devotion reached a whole new level.

After that, a strange transformation began in my meditation practice. I started to clearly feel changes happening in my life. One by one, my attachments began to fall away on their own. Habits like smoking, tobacco, and others started disappearing naturally.

During this time, my devotion and reverence for GuruMai deepened immensely. Through meditation and satsangs, a new kind of enthusiasm and joy entered my life. All negativity began to transform into positivity. Now, meditation and chanting have become the top priority in my life.

"I have been associated with the Sambodhi for almost a decade. Our practice is 'Sahaj Sadhana' (effortless practice/meditation), which is why we have members of all age groups with us. This institution has taught me how to live as an individual. Here, the emphasis is placed on the truth of meditation (Dhyan Sadhana) and the spiritual discourse (Satsang) of Gurumaai. I began to know myself, and as a result, joy started to come into my life. Meditation is not something one should do alone; it is a 'Sanskar' (sacrament/spiritual discipline) and must be received from a Guru. Without that, the journey of this life cannot be completed. I consider myself very fortunate to have such a Guru, and my life has been transformed by their guidance. For those who seek a new direction in life, Sambodhi and Gurumaai will definitely provide the right guidance."

​Since childhood there were health issues but with the arrival of Shree GuruMaai in life, the direction of the life journey literally changed. Due to meditation, external attractions have significantly lessened. The mind now delights in Bhajan, Mantra, Jaap (chanting).
​Learning and understanding topics like Yama and Niyama (ethical disciplines), Sanyam, Swadhyaya Sankalpa, Aaradhana, and Shraddha. Through GuruMaai's Satsang the mind and thoughts have turned in a positive direction, and for this, I feel contentment in life. I'm grateful for my journey with GuruMaai and Sambodhi Family.

By the grace of Gurudev, the perspective of looking at life has changed. Earlier, I was very sad and filled with negative emotions. As I began to meditate, those feelings changed, and positivity increased in my life. Life began to fill with a new energy. I started to look within myself, and I began to see my own ego and mistakes, which led to a transformation. Today, I am moving forward in life with self-confidence and faith.
Gratitude to GuruMaai for helping us through the practice of meditation. 

Manoj Bade
College Registrar

For the past fifteen years, I have been blessed to be a part of the Sambodhi family. When I first joined, I was going through a very difficult phase in life. I was suffering from a heart condition, and my medical reports were out of control. Along with health struggles, I was constantly tired and drained due to the heavy work pressure at the office.

Through meditation at Sambodhi, I gradually began to experience a deep sense of peace and inner strength. The regular practice helped me manage my stress and gave me new energy. Over the years, my health has improved greatly, and I feel much stronger, both physically and mentally.The most precious gift has been the guidance of GuruMaai. She has always taught us how to take on day-to-day challenges with courage and calmness. Her simple yet profound wisdom — that we should remain simple in life — has left a deep impact on me. I have realized that true happiness lies not in complexity, but in simplicity and inner balance.

I am deeply grateful to GuruMaai and the Sambodhi family for giving me a new life.

"Meditation has improved my focus, patience, and confidence. I've learned to understand positive and negative thoughts, which has enhanced my memory and ability to express my feelings. Most importantly, I've learned self-trust."

"At Sambodhi, Guru Maai taught the significance of self-observation and self-understanding, particularly through observing one's thoughts."

Throughout different stages of my life, I sought guidance from various Sages, Gurus, and saints, learning something from each one.
​However, after meeting our GuruMaai many years ago, I no longer felt the need to search elsewhere. My real journey began with her, when I started meditating regularly and honestly.
​Meditation brought me immense benefits, including positivity and calmness.​I continue to learn many things through meditation. I've become mentally stronger and am now at peace with myself. I've gained the ability to stand up and speak when necessary, which I lacked before, as I was always ready to simply agree.
​At 74, I am self-sufficient and with the grace of GuruMaai I can single-handedly run my business.

Ratna Bade
Teacher

I am Mrs. Ratnaprabha Bade. I have been a part of the Sambodhi Family for the last 15 years. I started meditating at a time when my mind felt restless and overloaded with the stress of my husband's health issues. Meditation has changed me in ways I didn’t expect. I react more calmly when challenges arise, my focus during work and study is sharper, and I sleep more peacefully at night. ​Meditation has become more than a routine; it is a space where I reconnect with myself and feel a gentle sense of inner strength. I am deeply grateful to GuruMaai for bringing clarity, balance, and quiet joy into my life. I feel energetic in GuruMaai's presence. ​Her guidance reminds me that every weakness hides the seed of strength. With GuruMaai’s blessings, I continue to nurture that seed each day for strength. When I felt hesitant to take on new responsibilities, her faith in my potential gave me the courage to act with confidence. With GuruMaai’s blessings, I am learning to meet life—and my children—with more patience, understanding, and love. That, to me, is the true power of her guidance.

Mai is the second form of the Mother.
She is called Mother-like, but She truly is Mother!
​GuruMaai's status has greatly increased in my eyes. She is the support and strength for walking the path of spiritual practice (sadhana). We are walking on the same path that She walked. Our spiritual practice is very small,
​but by walking on it, I realized what is worthless, how to live life, how to behave, and so on. Today, Guru Maai makes every possible effort to ensure that our lives and our sadhana may flourish.

​My spiritual journey began in 2010 with Sambodhi, meeting Param Pujya Shree GuruMaai at my mother's insistence. Unlike other spiritual meetings, this one focused entirely on self-awareness and self-discovery, not rituals.
​I started as a young, immature girl with no intention of pursuing spirituality, thinking it was only for the old. Now, I see this path is for anyone who wishes to live happily and peacefully.
​While many live in stress, Shree GuruMaai's dhyan (meditation) and satsang have given me a key to a joyful life. She is a living example who shows us that happiness is found in the smallest things. Her presence has brought unshakeable stability and served as a guiding light through all of life's scenarios.
​I feel blessed that GuruMaai chose me to walk this simple and joyful path. I offer my salutations to Param Pujya Shree GuruMaai.

My meditation experiences at Sambodhi have been truly life changing. Over the years, I have observed many inner changes within myself. The most significant ones are an increase in self-confidence and a deeper sense of self-control.
I feel extremely blessed to have received GuruMaai’s guidance at every stage of my life, right from my school days to my college journey. Whenever I was confused or in doubt, her words and teachings always gave me the right direction. Looking back, I can say with gratitude that her guidance has always proved to be correct for me.
During the lockdown period, when life felt uncertain, I had the fortune of being under GuruMaai’s care and guidance. At that time, she taught me valuable management skills and life skills, which continue to help me even today in handling situations with clarity and calmness.
Meditating at Sambodhi has given me peace, strength, and a new way of looking at life. I have also learned the importance of discipline, teamwork, and responsibility through the overall management experience here.
Each visit to Sambodhi feels like a fresh beginning for me, and with GuruMaai’s blessings, I continue to grow on this spiritual journey.

In today's fast-paced life, the Online Satsang's, Meditation camps are making my & my family's life more blissful. A positive change is visible in the children's behavior after my kids attended the 10 days Kids Summer Camp at Sambodhi. The discipline and orderliness present in every program of Sambodhi have a positive impact on our life. The wisdom gained from GuriMaai's Satsang's is the solution to every problem. This system created by GuruMaai can only be understood through personal experience, by attending the 10 days meditation camp with GuruMaai. I found the right direction in meditation, and my interest in the spiritual journey began to grow. Through meditation, I can now easily notice mistakes and the reasons for stress that I would otherwise miss or blame others for. As a result, the stress on my mind has started to reduce, and I have begun to attain better mental health. Family conflicts have disappeared, complains have reduced and understanding level within family has improved maintaining harmony in home and my mind. I am grateful to GuruMaai and Sambodhi for changing our lives positively.
