A.R. Balakrishnan, Coimbatore.
( Abnormal growth of flesh chubby), blood pressure, 290 lbs of weight of the body, the wonder of decrease in weight. Now I am only 165 lbs “Rathal” (old farmery weights)

Even in my 5th year my body had an abnormal growth and I was a fatty fellow. At my 5th year itself I appeared to be a 10 years old fellow. So I could not got to any school. I engaged a tutor at home and learnt Tamil, English and Sanskrit under him. My parents tried to ever so many treatments to reduce my weight.

Before the II world war, our family doctor bought the medicine to reduce the weight of the body and injected it into the body. Two injections per week were administered. Even after 2 yrs of treatment there was no sign of reduction of weight. The Dr. who had taken to war service, on return from war service he again gave injection and made me swallow ever so many kind of tablets. The shelves of my house were full of beautiful battles of tablets; but body weight never got reduced, rather it increased further.

Seven years back, a sandow had come to our place. I learnt exercises from him to reduce the weight of my body. To reduce the stomach fat certain exercises were prescribed like digging earth with the shard making me lie down on the ground, tying the two toes of the legs and dragging me (thereby making me to the Ardha Halaasana posture; by the same method made me reach the Paschimottaanaasana posture.

The Dr. himself used to buy the medicine, come to my house twice for injecting the medicine. This was the last treatment under a doctor. At that time my body weight had reached nearly 290 Rathal (lbs). If I had the necessity to go out I had to go in a vehicle. I won’t get into a jutka only car had to be brought (hired). My buttocks, stomach, thighs, chest etc parts of the body were flabby. When I walk the flesh will stake and a few yards walk would make me suffocate and I had high blood-pressure also.

Luck or fortune can be explained through an example the Almighty Grace and sympathy fell on me. I could hear about the wonders of Aasanas and I became enthusiastic to do Aasanas. I fully believe that this is by the grace of God. (Because I never had the opportunity to hear about aasana and its wonder cure) I heard that due to damage of the Thyroid gland flabbiness can happen and that Sarvaangaasanam will do good. The doctor also was giving injections to set right the damage for the thyroid only. So I thought why should I not do Sarvaangaasana? At the same time my father purchased “Ananda Rahasyam, written Gurudeva. I got the book and I started reading same. It was extremely interesting. If any one starts reading a detective novel will anyone throw it without finishing reading it? Even though the book was about Yogas it excelled the novel. The next day I started doing aasana. My father said it is not proper to do exercises without proper guidance and help. So he asked me to go to Bangalore and practice yogasana.

There was reason for my parents’ suggestion. An insurance agent wanted to insure my life. For insurance the doctor should examine and guarantee or assure the span of life. So when the doctor examined me and advised father to immediately cure his disease, otherwise there every possitively that the patient may die. My father kept quiet and did not reveal what the Dr. said. I came to know of that after my B.P decreased.

Then we wrote a letter to Gurudeva (Sep. 1951). I went to Bangalore along with my parents. We met Gurudeva and learnt all the details at about yogasanas. We must go to the doctor and test the patient’s condition. Gurudeva accompanied us in the same car to the Bouring hospital. The chief doctor of the hospital examined me told Gurudeva something. I came to know of that later on “why did you accept this case? The condition of his health is very bad.” This is what chief doctor told to Gurudeva

Gurudeva did not mind the Dr’s advice, started treatment for me. Treatment was started on an auspicious day. After treatment for a month came back to my place. And then again I went to attend Gurudeva’s birth-day celebration. This time also I stayed with him for 15 days and then went home. After three months stay at home, I went to Bangalore, stayed with him about 15-20 days and learnt aasana practice and physical exercises with Dump-bells, Bar bells etc.

Two years before my friend came to my house accompanied by my friend. He had seen me only once at that time. He came to my house for the second time. He asked me “where is your brother gone?” “Idon’t have brothers. I am my parents only son” I said. When I told him how my weight came down, he was surprised and expressed his joy. He could not recognize me this time. He did not believe my words. He was wondering how my weight came down to so many pounds. How could a person’s weight come down from 290 lbs to 165 lbs ! It is an extra-ordinary affair. Without God’s mercy and grace one cannot succeed in any attempt ! he exclaimed.

When I showed my cure to my family doctor he was extremely happy. He also agreed that aasana is really great and worthy of practising. Those lean people who made fun of me asking me “from which shop you are buying rice?” are now asking me to teach them an aasana. They say “see my belly has become big. I laughed at you before; the result of it I am undergoing Now my body has come to the normal size and the flesh must be come strong”.

A gentleman, after reading my letter published in “Sundarodayam” magazine wrote to me asking “Did your weight come down due to aasana cure or is it due to the side action or reaction of treatment of any disease by a doctor?” Another gentleman, who happened to have acquaintance with me, a few days before also chanced to see the letter in “Sundarodayam” told me remarked after seeing the photo in Sundarodayam, if I don’t see the person directly I will simply say this is only a cheat, humbug. By seeing your present form now I cannot even imagine that before some years you would have been a heap of flesh then!

Friends! by taking me as an example at least, I thought that some people may be benefited by aasana cure only for that reason, I allowed my photo with chubby flesh (ugly form) to be published in Sundarodayam, so that by looking at it, they may go in for aasana cure.

Friends! will you now atleast realise that complete cure for incurable disease is possible by aasana exercises and diet regulations alone? and stop medicines and injections and Practice aasana Cure which have been handed down to us by the rishis and seers and regain your lost health?
