(Summarised from Mrs. Sulochana Tambe’s letter sharing her experiences with Shreeguruji and Santulan Ayurveda)
“In 2014, Mrs. Sulochana Tambe, like hundreds of women approaching senior life, got her painful knees checked by a doctor and was told that she had hardly any option other than surgery.
She had heard of Shreeguru Dr. Balaji Tambe and somehow felt that only he would be able to solve her problem. She promptly enrolled as a patient at Santulan and began taking medicines. Shortly after, in 2014, she did her first Panchakarma at Atmasantulana Village. During that stay, she attended one of Shreeguruji’s satsang sessions. She saw that there were many people in the hall while he gave answers to questions. She remembers thinking that in this large crowd of people, if he would only pay attention to her in this instant, she would take it as a sign that she will definitely recover – and in that moment, she says, Shreeguruji looked at her.
Even through her Panchakarma, other people would talk to her and seeing her difficulty in walking, advised that she had no option but surgery. She says that her faith in Shreeguruji’s instructions was undiminished and she continued with medicines with complete discipline. Her condition began to improve over time. In this fashion, she came for Panchakarma three times between 2104 and 2019. After her third Panchakarma, Mrs. Sulochana Tambe was finally able to walk normally, without any pain whatsoever. She returned to the doctor whom she had consulted in 2014, and after a check up, he confirmed that she had no need for surgery anymore!
In 2022, the Santulan Veda Utsav Seminar held annually during Gurupurnima was restarted after a break of two years. Mrs. Tambe attended this year’s seminar and recounted these experiences. She remembers attending previous years and how she had to take a break to rest her hurting knees during the long Prabhat Pheri round of dancing and walking around the ashram. This time, she says, she did not need a single break. Going on picnics, walking and climbing steps and all are normal for her now.
Mrs. Sulochana Tambe’s trust in Shreeguruji and his holistic solutions has only deepened over the years, evident from her emotional testimony. We wish her excellent health and long and happy life and thank her profusely for sharing her story with the team at Echo.
