Impression

I am Shipra and I started the journey on the path of this life transforming practice in January 2012 ad midst of cold and depressing conditions both inside and outside me. I was in Denmark fighting my karmic battle. When I started to walk down the roads of the law of Lotus sutra, I was really unsure of where I was heading to. When I was asked to write an impression, it made me trace back the path of my expedition and I am happy sharing the impression of the practice on me.

I never accepted just anything coming my way on the face value of it, never followed it until it made some sense to me. I was never formally introduced and I was practicing on the basis of reading and YouTube videos. The more I read, the more my quest to know about it got deeper. Eventually, this got me back to India. In the first meeting, I attended, I was totally lost and then I met my comrades in practice. This meeting laid the foundation of understanding of BSG about which I read prior to joining the practice.

Time to time unconditional support and guidance that I received from the seniors in faith and the love and positive vibes from all the members has a great contribution in transforming me as a better person. I know, I have a long way to go but I am sure I shall never be lonely again and with head held high I shall always strive hard to accomplish my mission to do my human revolution.

I have had immense benefits since the begin of the practice; I was determined to overcome the problems and transform myself. I was very short tempered, a person of low self-esteem and self-doubt. Once the problems became an opportunity to challenge myself to achieve the targets I had set for myself.

The seniors always said “ to take the faith is easy, but to sustain is difficult”, and I have experienced it a number of times, but I have also realized that in BSG no one is alone, when you are in low life condition all the members stand together. Be it an applause on your victory or an encouragement on the way to victory.

I have deep memories of the preparation meetings for May 3^rd. I cannot still forget the mark that the vividness of the practice sessions and session on 6^th May left on the minds of each of us. Every one of us strove hard to make it a success.

Victory and defeat shall always stand adjacent to each other; it is we who decide what happens to us. We select to be victorious or to be defected. I pledge to never be defeated, and until I emerge victorious never to give up.
