One mid-night in Feb. 1995, I had a feeling of heart sinking and uneasiness. I was rushed to the nearby heart care center and was diagnosed to have suffered from Heart Attack.  After some improvement in condition in April, my case was referred to a reputed hospital in New Delhi for further treatment. An Angiography was done and the diagnosis was "Angina". I was put on medication. After one year, when I complained of some complications, another Angiography was done. I was again put on medication, with some changes in the prescription. In April, 1998 another Angiography had to be done on me in the same hospital as some complications had arisen again.
After this operation, my case was referred to the chief of the hospital who advised me to undergo Angioplasty or Bypass Surgery. It was a shock to me that the option of choosing the kind of operation was being left to me. On enquiry, I was told that as the cost of both the operations would be the same, hence the choice by the patient. That was another shock to me. I decided to go to another reputed hospital in New Delhi for second opinion. After review of the videocassette recording of the last Angiography, it was decided to do only Angioplasty, with a Stent, and that was done in June, 1998. I developed some complications again in April, 1999.
Doctors advised me to undergo an other Angiography and that was fixed for May, 1999. My frustration with this line of surgical treatment of heart problem was complete by this time. At that moment, I thought of a newspaper clipping about SAAOL which my brother had handed over to me some two years ago and I had kept it in my wallet all the time. Alongwith my friend from Bhartiya Yoga Sansthan, I went to see Dr. Bimal Chhajer at Badkhal Lake where he was conducting his SAAOL Program. He allayed my fears about the heart problem.
On seeing the response there to the program, I decided to join the same in early June. He assured me that nothing would go wrong in the meantime. My wife and I were the most worried persons and were counting every day for the program to start. The D-Day came on 3rd June. The program was for three days. By the end of the first day, we felt that it was one of the best decisions to have joined the SAAOL Program. All fears about heart problem had evaporated and it no longer looked like a killer disease. After three days we were completely convinced that our own wrong lifestyle had created this problem and we only can cure and reverse this problem. Surgery will only complicate the problem.
In SAAOL sessions, we were taught and trained in the technique of stress management, physical fitness, ZERO OIL DIET, yoga and meditation etc. Stress is the single most important factor, which leads to heart problem and a host of other illnesses. Hence the management of stress has become very vital, in these modern times, to lead a healthy life. Since then, I have been strictly following the program. I have lived a fearless life for the last 8/9 months without any complications. I have been driving my car 60 kilometers, to and fro, my office in New Delhi every day.
Earlier I had employed a Driver. The number and quantity of medicines have been gradually reduced. There is another side benefit of SAAOL Program for me. I have been suffering from Asthma for the last 13 years. I never ventured out for the morning walk during winter season as it used to aggravate the problem. The winter of 1999-2000 is the first season, after the program, that I dared to go out for morning walk every day at 6 am. I have not suffered the slightest complication on that front also. SAAOL Program taught me that our own lifestyle is the cause and cure of the heart problem. Confidence in yourself and the program is of paramount importance. Faith in God and in your SATGURU has to be absolute. Even before going to the SAAOL Program, I had sought and received the blessings of my respected SATGURU and since then I have not looked back.
