What People Say

Eminent Medical Person
“Sri Bala is a master of Vibrational Breath Therapy. He does this with such enthusiasm that it is infectious. Sri Bala himself is a striking example of what he practices.”

Eminent Medical Person & respected guru

“It is a nice feeling to know how much you have been doing to propagate this wonderful knowledge. May we all move on with the same spirit getting inspiration from persons like you. We should learn the meticulousness from you”...”You're getting younger by the day.”
Dr H R Nagarathna, eminent Physician, Yoga Consultant, Vivekananda Yoga Research Foundation, Bangalore, India.

Respected Guru
“Can you hear my applause for you all the way to Australia? I encourage you to persist in your work on the Pranava AUM Project. It is our duty to create "goodness" and "beauty" on earth whenever, however, we can, and you are engaged in that mission! That is the ‘real Dharma’”, and again,
“Your letters remind me of the poem INVICTUS. “Under the cruel clutch of circumstances, my head is bloodied, but unbowed!” You have that indestructible courage to face all trials and tribulations in a cheerful mood! I am proud of you! I pray for you! Shiva protects you and you protect Him! (A fair exchange!)”

       Smt. Meenakshi Devi Bhavanani, Spiritual Head of ICYER, Pondicherry, India.

A colleague
“Now I think it is time you received a note of recognition for the work you have put in on your Vibrational Breath Therapy. Swamiji taught thousands of extraordinary practices, but there are too few of his students who have actually made the effort to truly master one or more of them. Thank you for staying the course and reporting back with the results. It should be a goal and inspiration to everyone in the lineage.”
Rajudev, California, USA (one of the most senior/highly respected students of the late Maharishi Dr Swami Gitananda Giri Guru Maharaj, Pondicherry, India).

Cured of Asthma

“I enrolled in Bala's Breath Therapy Intensive course in July 1992. He introduced me to methods and techniques of breathing designed to cleanse the body and calm the mind. By October, to my great delight, I discovered that my condition had left me and I was no longer dependent on medication.”
                                        Raymond Paterson Port Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Cured of Depression
“In the latter half of 1992 I participated in the 81 day breath intensive course engineered and taught by Sri Bala. I had taken the year off as my mental, emotional, and physical health had declined to a state of burn out.
The course works to vibrate the disharmonious or unhealthy vibrations out of the body. By a combination of posture, breath, and nada or chanting the body is returned to a healthy state and the strength of the person is built up so as to maintain the healthy state.
The course assisted me in seeing my true potential as a dedicated, disciplined, flexible human being full of great creativity and wiseness.
                                       Kalikamurti, Yoga Instructress, Alice Springs, Australia.

Comments by Students/Participants of Vibrational Breath Therapy programs/sessions

“This is undoubtedly the best programme of instruction that I have been through in my area of health and self development. The reasons:

• Unflagging encouragement and positive reinforcement. Instruction by a teacher who has clearly mastered that which he teaching (rare in this age)
• A very systematic and cleverly laid out programme and excellent manual.
• A pace that suited me very well.”

                            Paul Holman, Psychologist and Psychiatrist, Victoria, Australia.

“This must be the crown jewel practice of yoga. The simplicity of the practice with all that Pranayama brings, combined with AUM - the essence of everything, it quickly brought me into focus, stillness, and into that indescribable state of oneness.”     

Swami Satyasankalpananda Saraswati, Yoga Instructress, Alice Springs, Australia.

“Experience of wellbeing. Introducing (one) strongly to meditation and internal silence and (the ability) to feel internal sensations. ……I only thank God for this gift.”

  Gilbert Gormezano - A French Professor of Neuroscience                       (who learnt from me at the Vivekanada Yoga Research Foundation, Bangalore, India).

On Children’s Yoga Nidra

“I have been using the children’s meditation tape with my two boys and although they are quite young 4 and 2 their comments the next morning were just wonderful that I wanted to share them with you.  My youngest boy Oliver, 2 years old pointed to the tape player and said ‘tape’  then he said “Bala” then I asked him if he enjoyed the ‘story’ he said “hug Bala”.  I know that the meditation has touched both of them deeply and I play it for them every night.  They are both sleeping soundly through the night.”
