• PREM

He was very intense throughout the session. At one point, he also broke while expressing
his thoughts. It was also observed that he was quite analytical (deeply processing everything).

He also came across very well read. He came across someone who understood the lessons

of life. He was very philosophical in his approach and his speech. He had a high pitch. He had
a point of view and at the same time he was respectful of other people views and where they

were coming from.

After the sessions was conducted, they seemed very pleased and excited in the sense that
they were very eager to show us around and talk about the different activities (showing temple,

goshala) they are involved in. The reciprocation was so inclusive that they offered the sacred
vibhuti(holy ashes) to us which is their aspect of closeness for them to the divine.

➢ OUTCOME

The purpose was to provide them the guidance for the future. Apart from that hearing

their conversation, it felt the need to direct them to live in the moment because all of them were

either caught up in the past or in the future and when things did not work out according to their
wish, it led to a disappointment and loss of faith in themselves and even the divine. It was very

natural for us to bring them back to the present moment.
