STUDENT'S CORNER
My whole reflection through PYS
session is very short because I have joined in recently, just couple of sessions back. I was introduced to PYS through a new friend. He had only asked me to attend only one session n assured that I
would be proud to be a Jain. I had laughed on his confidence because I am known as anti Gujarati or anti Jain among my friends. Just to test his confidence & it was near my place I attended my 1st session - 'G - Force'. I was completely surprised to see such
huge crowd. Then I was even more surprised that Guruji talks in youthful
language & amount of knowledge & awareness of conflicts that we face in our day to day life. I was engrossed in
listening n felt connected. After the session I messaged my friend thank you
& said yes he wins & I am proud of being Jain. I also try to bring in more people along with me for the session.
These sessions are helping me professionally too. Basically I am a Counseling Psychologist - working at Vandrevala Foundation Mental Health 24X7 telephonic counseling Helpline. Formulas like C6 & E6 - I can use them
in my counseling sessions. Workshops. Talks etc... Even after night shift and
pushing myself to attend session feels worth the efforts & brings in new energy. I
read Guruji's book 'Mind Your Mind' it made me fall in love with myself. Recently I am falling sick n visiting Doctors became my part time job. This made me stressed out & always had fear of growing older & dependency. But this book had brought change in my vision to my ailment & fear of old age has reduced. This book I kept at my office library & my colleague asked me
if I had more such books. "2nd Edition book helps us to help parents in therapy. I also took Gujarati books for MA. Felt like learning Gujarati to read Guruji's book. At the end would say these sessions cannot be express better in words but they are better
experienced.
