This passage nicely sums up my experience on this course. I arived on the first day oblivious to the 'sky' or 'earth' or my ability to embrace spirituality.I know it was somewhere over my head and beneath my feet but i hadn't stopped to think about it at all.Everthing has been an 'eye-opener' during this process of learning and practicing. acomplete renovation of my mind and physical body has undoubtly 'lift the veil' to a new world of awareness.My only awareness previously was knowing that I needed to do yoga reactivate myself. Now I look forward to re-entering the outside world with a freshly painted body and mind 'as strong as steel'. Just as awareness continues to chip away at the mould on the bricks, I look forward to sharing it with others. I got a new mother for my spiritual path.

Dear Sindu,
I want to thankyou from the bottom of my heart for all that you have taught me during this course.I'm so grateful to have found you ( and its so nice that you are near my family!)
You have helped me so much- physically, mentally, and spiritually. I know I have a lot of work to do, but now I know that I am on the right path.
You helped me to find the strength and support from within that I had lost before.
Thankyou!!
Love,
Jennifer.

Dear Sindu,
It has been so long that I have been learning, searching and resisting. There were times that I glimpsed or peeked at the sacred without fully understanding, or saw spiritual philosophy as ideology only.
Thankyou profoundly for guiding me to surrender fully and completely, and to greet the Divine within.I feel my spiritual heart, my Citt, and now know that my being is forever changed. Thankyou for sharing the pure knowledge of your experiences, and for entrusting this wisdom to me. I hold it in my heart.
It has meant so much to my body, o learn pranayama techniques and feel the presence of healing energy restoring my body to balance, post cancer. I will continue "with vigour", and feel very empowered to be developing more intuition into the prana levels.
Thankyou for cooking nourishing and delicious food each day, guiding us intuitively with pure love and for sharing your energy.
I leave now with faith, and my heart meeting the Divine on the path of yoga. For this I will thankyou forever.
Light+love+laughter to you
and yours,
Sarah Wade.

Celine is right yoga here can be so different but still ok to practice.... Celine is alway talking about to any other teacher and she told them that they are just not good enough comparing to you.... we got into trouble with some people here !!!!
To me, they are ok....
I dont think it is difficult to teach, but teach with love and awarness as you do, is a gift.

With all my love

Dear Sindu,
This has been such a precious gift receiving yogi knowledge from you. You have such a shining light and glow wonderful when you teach. I’ll take the greatest care of this seed to make it growing in me. From deeper than me I really thankyou. I will never forget this month with you.
All my love,

Thank you Sindu for this rich teaching. Now I feel ready to face all the challenges in life… and I feel ready to smile to all the challenges as well. Path towards spirituality is said to be difficult. But with you it was just an enjoyable path, pushing me to get rid off my ego and negative emotions.
Thankyou very much…I hope I will enjoy your teachings again in future.
Thankyou from Sandrine.

Dearest Sindu,
I feelwords cannot adequately express the gratitude for all that you have shown me during my time here at the School of Yoga Pada.
You have guided me through the inner blocks which have continuously hindered me in being all that I can be. Your love, patience and strong will has shown me that everything I seek is within me. To respect and honour the divine within me. That to surrender, be open and maintaining faith, my path will unfold. Regardless of where I am in life, to be thankful and to enjoy life to the fullest for it is a treasure chest waiting for us to enjoy and explore.
I came here confused, seeking answers which you have shown are inside me. This light of knowledge is the most precious gift anyone has ever given me. Thankyou with all my heart. Your teachings will stay with me forever. I hope you truly understand how grateful I am.
I leave your home which has been my home for the last month and 10 days, stronger, calmer and at peace with where I am at in life. I know where I go or live, I will always be home. It’s a joy and sadness, I leave today. Joy at the adventures that await, sadness with leaving the ashram. But I know you will always be with me.
Thankyou for gracing me with your wisdom, love and patience. It is a precious gift, I will nuture everyday.
Love always,
Erica.

Dear Sindu,
I would like to tell you that my time here with you has been inspirational. Our daily lessons have give me a stability and confidence in my thought process that I have been searching for.
I feel as though I have long had all this knowledge within me, but you have brought it to the surface and helped me to understand it. I will forever treasure the time we spent together and all you have taught me.
All the love and thanks in the world!

OM..

For me The 1 month TTC at Tulasidalam was a near life changing experience. It completely changed me as a person and added so much value to my life. The quality of the training by Sindu Ma is far above regular teacher's as she not only taught us the physical aspect of yoga but also beautifully correlated the spiritual and pholosophical aspects as well. I reside in Pune and am now a full time yoga instructor with the complete onus going to Tulasidalam and Sindu Ma.

I thouroughly enjoyed the 1 month spent at the ashram where we not only studied but also got a wonderful opportunity to see the breathtaking beauty of Kerala as various sight seeing trips were organised for us. It felt as good as home with a wonderful, loving and disciplined teacher guiding us on our paths.

I recommend every person who really wants to connect with your inner self and truly learn yoga in the correct light to visit TULASIDALAM...KHUSHMITA BIYALA

It was destiny that bought me to Tulsidalam and I will never question my destiny again :)

I work for a MNC in Mumbai and have been a workaholic all my life. In spite the lifestyle, I have always felt spiritual and the course at Tulsidalam was just the experience I needed. I attended the YTTC - Ashtang Yoga. Sindu amma was warm, caring and knowledgeable in all aspects of Yoga. The physical, spiritual and intellectual aspects of yoga are covered in the course.

The daily schedule gave us enough time to practice asanas, theory classes and still left us ample time for self reflection and study. Friday's were our days off, which we used to visit places nearby. By the end of the course, I felt complete, calm, happy!

The only prerequisite you need for this course is an open mind.

Namaste.RUBY GANGADHARAN

Learn it from Sindu how easy it is to be a practicing karma yogi.I met Sindu in 2003,its six years now.I met her first in a retreat center of an other ashram. She was on her vacation enjoying her solitude until I started following her around.One evening I walked into the meditaion hall and there was this woman sitting there very casually just watching.It was the calmness on her glowing self that caught my attention, there was no pretensions of anything,she was so calm.
I went up to her ,sat in front of her,she was smiling. I asked her where she came from?What was her practice?She was silent and smiling!I offered her some peanuts I had in my hands.She took one from it and smiled.Next day again I saw her sitting in the same place just watching with a smile.With my tangled long hair,long string of rudraksha adorning my body , the saffron clothes and constant chanting I was seeking hard to be liberated. Here is a beautiful person who is dressed so nicely, decorated with a smile feeling and enjoying the state of freedom!From within me I became sure I had found my spirtual guide and to this day I've tried to follow to my best the way of knowledge and liberation she guides me through.

I'm happy to put up this blog where you can share your memories.

"Je prendrai l'avion le 15 novembre...Arrivée prévue à Kochi, Kerala, Inde du Sud, le 16 novembre au petit matin. Après quelques achats essentiels pour mon périple, je prendrai le train le soir même pour me rendre à Tulasidalam Cultural home , Thelliyoor. Là-bas j'y passerai bien 20 jours, dont 14 jours de pratique intense du yoga. Je serai accueillie par Sindu, professeur de yoga... C'est comme si je la connaissais déjà. Séverine, professeur de yoga au Village Vacances Vacanciel où je travaille actuellement, a suivi ses cours de yoga avec Sindu dont elle garde un merveilleux souvenir. Elle m'a réellement donnée envie de la connaître. D'autant plus que mes échanges par e-mail avec Sindu ont été très convainquants...Beaucoup d'humanité dans sa façon de communiquer avec les gens. Je pars à sa rencontre entièrement confiante ."

The whole process of meditation took barely 5 minutes and it is of the utmost importance to us that it was sadhana towards awakening,for she was guiding us along the path that she herself has trod.As later she explained :a glimpse of the truth and the process of awakening is setup immediately.

I met sinduamma in 2006-2007 in India and i spent some time with her that time.It was the beginning of something but i was not conscious about what. The thing was it was normal for me. When i came back in france in april 2007 i really followed the practise that sinduamma told me to follow, and after 7 month, it was time for me to go back in india near Sinduamma to be guided more deeper in my path. God gave me this chance to be guided on my spiritual path. This path is not something i can explain easily with words, it is an experience, a deep experience of watching, watching everything and see more than objective world. Of course according to the fluctuations of my mind, the depth is more or less but the process to stop the fluctuations and to watch is on my path. Sinduamma use to say it need a lot courage to walk on this path... I don't know...for me it seem natural in a way, sure sometimes i felt it was difficult but may be i made the path difficult in my mind, i complicate the path ,because after reaching a step i feel it was easy and quick. I always heard around me some people speaking of spirituality. Speak is not the experience of spirituality, it can be a part of it but its not our spiritual being,the spiritual experience, the spiritual life. To live a spiritual life, we don't need to be alone or with people who are spiritual. For me a spiritual life means go on living our life, nothing has changed except the way you see the life, the way you can enjoy the life. I spent almost 5 month in the ashram with sinduamma between november 2007 and march 2008, a beautiful experience sometimes difficult but only for my ego!!! Back to france, i am able to really enjoy life, each moment as a gift.The path is there and the goal is the liberation. severine

Namaste dear Sinduamma !
Every word and every advice, i can read from you in your mail or in your blog is

I did my TTC at Tulasidalam at school of yoga pada and it was a wonderfull personnal
experience in yoga. Its a really deeper experience and practice. This teaching is a
part of your daily life and every moment in a day even after you finish the one
month TTC, you go on your practice and everything become a piece of your path of
yoga. All your practice and that experience become a strong foundation for your
teaching itself after, and even your teaching became a part of your own practice. If
you do your TTC at school of yoga pada, be sure, you are blessed. The traditionnal
ahsram and teaching will be a bliss manifestation in your life. If you want to get
information, you can write me on this mail severine.me@voila.fr
