Flo Li shares her experience of Inner Engineering & Bhava Spandana:
"As if I could watch my own drama from the audience, I was able to gain much perspective and regain my calmness quickly. No doubt I still experience ups and downs but the dramas in life no longer controlled my life. I felt lighter and lighter day after day…"

Ellen shares her experience of attending Shambhavi program with Sadhguru in Atlanta, USA.
"I am left with so many impressions........the smiling faces of volunteers, my first glimpse of Sadghuru; the delcious food prepared and served; the relay race at the park, hearing my own laughter and enjoying the comaraderie of my team; the challenge of keeping the volley ball up in the air; the playfulness of Sahdguru as he volleyed the ball in the air to help us earn points, so we could have our breakfast.
How this man draws people together is an absolute wonder and miracle to behold. In his own quiet way, he teaches us that we are all magnificent and if we choose to live a lifeless existence, then that is what we will have. It's impossible to describe how much love I felt in Sadhguru's presence; I wept as he walked by me at the close of the program. At the same time, how in awe I was of his steady manner, his inimitable patience and his ability to speak for hours on end in the same loving, clear way, and his uncanny gift of telling a story and making us laugh; how he caught us off guard (while some of us were getting drowsy) and distracted us -- in order to help us and to help each other!!!
At midday on Sunday -- my limbs aching and my brain feeling numb -- thinking I could not absorb one more word or move my body in any way - I decided I should leave, that I just wasn't up to this challenge. At the same time, I realized that this man would never have let me just walk out of there. He would have asked me where I was going, and then I would have crumbled. So, even without me leaving and him stopping me, I experienced what the outcome would be. I remained because I knew that Sadhguru would challenge me, and I knew that I would be no match for the love that he is. I'm so glad I stayed. I also realized what a pattern this has been for me; just before breaking through, I quit or let myself down -- not this time. I attribute this to the empowerment and love that Sadhguru imbued us with - it's inescapable. Believe me, if someone could and would escape an uncomfortable situation, it would be me. The only difference on Sunday was that someone in the room made me feel worthwhile and valuable and loved. Sadhguru's is to make the world a better place, person by person; then his love is truly limitless, and I've never run into that in a person before this.
Now a day later, back home in NJ this morning, all this is clear to me and if only one day later, after initiation, I have already realized what I now know, how much more incredible will the future be as I continue the practice. I cannot even fathom what the future holds, but I will tell you this - I am more excited right now than I have ever been about my life. I owe this to Sadhguru. Many thanks to all of you who volunteer your time and have devoted your life to his mission, which has become your mission. I bow to you and am honored to have been welcomed into the fold.

Parul, an IE participant from Delhi shares his experience of Inner Engineering.
She's called that cos' she's feminine. I liked the way its sound melted in my mouth, so well, that it fills me up even just to say it.
Shambhavi, its a way of meditation. It is offered and recieved, in a particular way, in the presence of a guru. It can't, be taught and learnt like the usual kriyas, asanas and other forms of yoga or meditation.
That's what is said, and I believe it, at the time it is offered to me, while it is also offered to 1000 odd others present with me in the stadium on 19th of Dec 2010.
Believe it or not, it has you the first time you do it. People say they experience ecstasy. It fills you up with an energy, of a kind, inexplicable by ways of communicating that you already know. That's why, its called ecstasy I guess.
My first time, it sent chills down my spine, and every bit of me froze as if I was inside a freezing water body. As if I wouldn't breathe again, or breathing itself was effort. And without any emotion and lots of pain, I cried.
I cried as I havent cried before. As I don't wish to cry again. If I had let go of myself, that last one percent, I might have shocked those sitting next to me. And then when it was done, when everyone relaxed, stood up and danced, I was still crouching to myself, frozen, empty and exhausted. Tears wouldn't stop. Shivers won't give away.
Later, a teacher explained: Shambhavi is feminine in nature. Feminine, cos it yields easily. You don't need years of practice before she yields for you. She is tender that way. And I loved the way he explained it. Shambhavi, it made sense. It made sense suddenly.
That day, they made us do it again (twice ie.) ; tears yet again, shivers yet again and a long blank, followed by a yearning to be held, consoled, drift away in slumber. Never experienced a blank like that before, like I didn't know where I am, what I am here for, not even an emotion, just cold and the pain.

Vani shares her experience after her Inner Engineering program.
"I have completed my online inner engineering program with Sadhguru. It has been an inner roller coaster ride. Certain revelations of life have greatly helped me live joyfully and peacefully. Inspired by Sadhguru's words, a poem has flown out of my heart."
TWILIGHT ON THE GANGES
It was the moment of twilight on the Ganges
When the sun was just below the horizon
I stood across the river immersed in golden darkness.
In oneness with the presence around,
An awareness awakened from deep within
To explore my belief of the horizon and go beyond the brim.
With my being full of will and might
And the yearn to cross the realm.
I embarked a little boat on the shore of the Ganges.
I rowed and rowed with faith and fervor
While the sun travelled its course.
The scenery blossomed from dawn to dusk with colors all vibrant and
new
I seemed to have travelled a long way
With the changing visions of life
But the horizon was still far from my reach and reason.
I had blinked not once all this while
Lost in the magnificence of life
But just to ensure my chosen path, for once I looked behind.
The illusions dropped all at once as I turned towards the source
My boat was moored to the earth and it never left the shore
O’ my belief had propelled only as far as the rope’s length would go.
At once I plunged into the depths of the river
Where layers of earth were deep asleep
And From the clutches of rocks down below, I jolted the anchor free.
The oars dropped
For their purpose was served
And my boat now drifted by its own nature.
It was twilight again on the Ganges
When the peripheries ceased to be
The Ganges took my boat along, all the way to the sea.
Thank you so much for all that you have given to me.

Meera shares her thoughts about her mom doing the Inner Engineering program:
"She has been regular with her practices. And in just 2 months time, the family doctor has reduced her sugar medication to almost nil. While I wait for the day it actually becomes NIL, I am so relieved, satisfied & grateful that this has happened."

Manoj of The Chennai Business School shares his experience of being introduced to Inner Engineering:
"All his words are of utmost clarity. He was right in saying “be human first”- forgetting humanity, divinity is just farce. No two humans have the same capability, if you function to your full potential you are a fortunate being and would always be blissful, and inner engineering is a starting point to realise your full potential. Mr. Ravi Venkatesh asks in the video, “If you are unable to manage yourself, how could you be a manager managing others?” This made all us future managers to think."

For PhoenixButterfly, the Inner Engineering program happened at just the right time in her life:
"It is a profound spiritual experience. It is very hard to explain. It is very light and funny and deeply touching and peaceful. There is no releasing or bringing past things up. You don’t go around meeting your peers but you become one with them and at the end the connection is so huge you don’t need to know their names, you know their soul and are one with all of them. We learnt yoga poses that improve our lives in every aspect."

This is not to say that I have become superhuman or perfect, but the taste I have had of something which is beyond the physical makes me want to continuously and consciously strive to break my own limitations."
