Testimonials

CEO Indian Railways, Faculty- Art of Living, Author and Writer
Dr Saroj's journey in life is truly remarkable. It baffles me how a professional doctor was affected while raising her children. I guess life is full of vicissitudes and travesty. Like Arjuna in Mahabharata, she overcame her woebegone moments and pusillanimity through the grace of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
Sudarshan Kriya's unique rhythmic breathing technique metamorphosed her life. Gurudev became her lifeboat and with an increase in her prana levels, she is contributing to society by writing books, blogs, and practicing medicine and has become a beacon of hope for women in distress and facing psychological problems.
It is an absolute honor to know Dr. Saroj Salelkar. She is not just as a doctor and an author, but as a truly inspiring human being. Her compassion, wisdom, and commitment to making a difference in people's lives are unmatched. Whether through her medical expertise, her insightful writings, or her uplifting presence, she touches hearts and transforms lives. Dr. Saroj is a rare soul who blends knowledge with kindness, strength with empathy, and purpose with grace. The world is undoubtedly a better place with her in it.
