If I could sum up my motivation to pursue a Master’s degree in one line, it would be this quote, by my role model and icon Booker T. Washington, ‘Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome’. This quote profoundly resonates with me, as it is indicative of my perception towards education, the failures have I faced in life and the opportunities I have seized. In a specific time period of my life, I have faced hardships bound by health and financial constraints; however, these humble beginnings have made me much stronger as I chose to fight back. A topper in high school (Math score 100/100) and a State-Level Mathematics Olympiad Winner at IIT-Kanpur- 2006, I couldn’t perform well in the engineering entrance examination and became prone to Somatoform Disorder and Migraine attacks for 3 years (Mid of 2010- Mid of 2013). This adversity badly affected my grades till the end of my 3rd year (till the end of 6th semester) in the college asI was easily perturbed whenever there was chaos in my surroundings, which negatively hampered my thought process and reduced my efficiency; finally gave me the self-assurance and will-power to fight against any atrocities as I devoted myself to meditation and yoga and could see a visible difference in my life; I not only overcame my health issues but also worked hard to grab the on-campus placement with one of the top-notch corporations of India.This was a small beginning that gave rise to the burning desire of exposing every tensed, worried, and stressed out adult to the wonders of meditation. Therefore, upon gaining more than three years of intensive practical knowledge about a plethora of advanced meditation techniques, including but not limited to mindfulness, heartfulness, and ShudarshanKria, under the eminent guidance of spiritual leaders, psychologists, and researchers- Dr. Rick Hanson (UCLA), Dalai Lama, Cory Mascara(University of Pennsylvania), and Dan Ariely (Duke University) to name a few, I started counselling and coaching students, employees, and people suffering from depression, work/exam stress, and anxiety absolutely free of cost. And it is a gratifying experience to see the overwhelming response of my clients as I started with healing one member and soon, I found the number growing to more than 1000. The experience was a learning curve for me as it reminded me that I could achieve anything I set my mind upon, and thereafter, I gave up on giving up. The biggest takeaway from the daily practice of meditation and yoga is my confident, calm, and cheerful attitude towards life which has not only helped me deal with challenging situations peacefully but also improved my focus and productivity tremendously.
