A JOURNEY INTO UNKNOWN TERRITORY

Dear Rev. Fr. Vijayanand ,

Here is a report on my experience after the Inner Freedom Retreat.

I had been looking forward to make a months retreat based on the Ignation Spirituality. Then one day I saw the programme of Rev. Fr. Vijayanand on the Inner Freedom Retreat and I took a chance to attend it. It took two days for me to get into the pattern of work. But, after that I was able to go very deep within myself and I discovered all the painful memories deeply rooted in the unconscious level like resentments, feelings of bitterness, fearful events etc.of which some of them had been the cause of illness too.One month retreat was not sufficient for me to reach to a normal person, hence, I went back to Belgaum for another month's retreat. During this period I found it easy for me to get in touch with all the problems and its reasons. This helped me to make my second retreat and work intensely with the help of Fr. Vijayanand. His eagerness and concern helped me to out from all the shackles and liberate myself according the God's plan.

I am HAPPY to share that I even got healed from the chronic asthasma which I had been suffering for the past 35 years have come to a greater awareness of myself and now my attitude has totally changed. It was a forgiving love that I experience now and this has come very concretely in me when I meet the people with a very positive attitude especially those whom I could not look at even and they in turn show me warm and loving gesture. My heart is filled with love and concern when I meet the people now whoever' may be .

I have no words to express my gratitude to you dear Fr. Vi jayanand I pray that God may reward you and give you good health and wisdom to help many more souls who are s struggling like me. I keep' you in my prayers. Thanking you and asking to keep me in your prayers .
