Testimonial by Dr Anil Kumar
(Swami Shantananda)
M.D., D.C.H.
Kriyayoga Research Institute, Jhunsi, Allahabad, U.P., India I, a U.S. citizen and a medical doctor, has
specialized in the care of children and young
adults for the last 38 years. After practicing modern medicine mostly in the United States of America and also in England and India, I have returned to India to serve on a volunteer basis. For the past two years I have been practicing the science of Kriyayoga meditation as taught by my guru, Swami Shree Yogi Satyam. He imparts knowledge of this ancient experiential spiritual science, free of charge, to everyone seeking a change from their current status by conducting classes throughout India, Canada, Germany and the USA. His desire to serve humanity regardless of nationality, race, religious beliefs, educational and socio-economic backgrounds, has led him to successfully integrate modern medicine and the spiritual science of Kriyayoga meditation. Swami Shree Yogi Satyam has bestowed upon me the title of “Swami Shantananda”, which means a non-religious renunciate monk. This drastic change in my life and career came about after personally witnessing the healing power of body, mind and spirit through the sincere practice of Kriyayoga meditation. During a short period of 40 days in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, I have witnessed the cure of intractable illnesses like breast cancer, severe diabetes mellitus, cataract of the eye lens, crippling arthritis, mental depression, …continued on next page….

syndrome, and many more. I am convinced that with proper guidance each and every one of us has the innate power to heal ourselves totally in every aspect of our lives. Similarly, upon witnessing Kriyayoga practitioners during my three months stay in India, I came across many examples of people who have cured themselves of advanced diseases such as liver cancer, blood cancer, rheumatoid arthritis with severe deformities, severe rectal prolapse since birth, cancer of mouth and others. Also during this brief period, a practitioner, a dwarf woman at age 50, has grown her stubby fingers and all her bowed limbs to almost a normal configuration. If such tall claims were made by anyone else and not personally witnessed by me, I would not have believed them.
I personally have had several major surgeries including two open-heart, two back, two abdominal and two knee surgeries. In addition, I consumed about 20 different medications daily for various bodily ailments like migraine headache, chronic sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, abdominal distress and hyperacidity of the stomach, prostatic enlargement, several skin problems, knee and back pain. I was able to give up all those medications without any untoward effect by the 4th day of the 40 days while practicing Kriyayoga meditation four times daily and consuming a non-violent yogic diet. In Kriyayoga meditation there are no contorting postures and it is totally expense free. This is a spiritual science where every practitioner has 100% guaranteed results if practiced continuously with full devotion and patience. A short trial of approximately 7 to 10 days will convince many of improvement in their patience and alleviate bodily and mental Marvellous Kriyayoga Effects

The latter is noticed and persistent 2. Impaired balance when standing on left lower extremity 1/2001. This symptom has although improved but not completely resolved. 3.

Pain, pruritus, and paraesthesia around the scar and extending to the mid clavicular line and epigastrium even shirt or sheet cover hurt all the time 1/2001.

Instead of all the above I started on a new regime of bathing with warm and cold water using little soap, a diet principally consisting of carbohydrate rich roots and fruits, nuts and seeds, whole grains, all legumes, and totally devoid of any added salt or sugar. I started to consume water based upon the thirst and the urine coloration. All animal protein was eliminated from the diet so were all drinks containing alcohol. Update July 27, 2006
Unless I have grossly violated all principles of Kriyayoga and the non-
violent yogic diet, neither have I ever got sick nor ever needed any medication. Amazingly even while staying in India and leading a normal life, I have enjoyed good health. Although minor symptoms are experienced occasionally, however, those abate as soon as the causative Other than self I do not see any physician for my own health care and I do not need any one any more. My blood pressure is 110/70 mm of Hg. and the lipemic rings around the iris of the eyes have disappeared. The annoying itchy painful keloid scars over anterior chest and abdomen from the open heart surgery have also resolved. I have been leading a full active life filled with vigor and vitality while practicing Kriyayog at least
