This is Pranayama Siddhi’. Further steps of Pratyahar, Dhyan and Dharana lead him to a level of ‘Samadhi’ experienced during this period. This ‘Samadhi-Sachchidananda’ was an experience by itself that can not be described in words and needs to be experienced by one himself. The motive behind this ‘Yog-sadhana’ was to find out the medical basis behind this ‘Yoga-science’ and that was achieved. Today, he is ready with a research material analyzing the medical basis of various states of body and mind while practicing yoga. His ‘Guru’ for this study was a book ‘Patanjali Yoga Sutra’ written by Shri Kolhatkar and later a great saint, the late ‘Muni Mishrilalji, a disciple of late ‘Muni Ganeshmalji Maharajsaheb’. Preparations are going on to publish this prime research on ‘Kundalini’ Process to establish a ‘Yoga-Institute’ as an ongoing activity of the ‘Dr.M.P.Desarda Charitable Trust & Research Institution’ has been started. 1.5 Acres of an agricultural land in the vicinity of Pune city and in calm, quiet, natural and picturesque surrounding has been purchased and 1st phase of building is completed. Regular Yoga classes will be conducted to teach yoga to the masses. ‘Yoga-Ashram’ will be started in second phase.
