It was very precious class to us because we learnt some special things
which we did not learn in our degree and in the 21 years of my life. Once again I would like to thank to your team behalf of our friends and class.

It was the nice session which you spent with us. I would like to thank you and your team for spending your valuable time with us. It was good that you made aware of those thing which we were not knowing. By sharing your experience you have showed some new ways to lead the life. From that day I have started meditating for 10min everyday. If any help required to me I will be in touch with you. Kindly reply whenever I send mail to you and be in touch with me.
