Kedar Kiran Ghonsikar - Pune, Maharashtra

 

I was introduced to LMAD, at a very crucial stage of my life - when I turned 19 years old. In 2014 my father Mr. Kiran Ghonsikar who is working in one of the many leading Italian MNCs in the country happened to visit Asia Plateau along with a fellow colleague. He introduced LMAD to me.

I knew little about LMAD when I first stepped into Asia Plateau on 1st June 2014, for the LMAD YC 2014. But, during the course of those eight days, things went on unfolding smoothly and I gradually caught the essence of LMAD.

There comes a point of time in life where we need to build a strong foundation for our growth as human beings and to also go in the right direction. This foundation can be built only by strong perseverance with appropriate values. Unfortunately we live in a world where values are blemished day by day. LMAD enlightened me with these values and most essentially, showed me a pathway to implement them in life. It is important for us to scrutinize our karma against a particular set of ethics and moral values; which help us get an unambiguous picture of what is right and what is wrong. LMAD made me realise the importance of self-introspection, which is a process of examining oneself in a deeper sense for all possible loop holes within the character, which need to be filled in at the right time.

As a teenager I have had my own muddles, many times I found myself in a state of dilemma. In such a crucial stage of life, people often tend to get carried away by the wrong choices, and so did I. There is no “right” or “wrong” as such, there is only the wrong which is set to ‘default’, as a result of the bad amity of people we put up with, and beyond doubt we are blind enough not to realise it! Fairly so, as a teenager I have had made a bulk of wrong choices and I inculcated a few inimical habits. At this critical stage of having a juvenile temperament towards situations in life, LMAD marked a huge turning point, as a sequel to which elevation began. It is important for us to undergo a paradigm shift to understand and feel the process of self-introspection, to understand and reflect upon the nuisance we have unknowingly created within us. Mr. Viral Mazumdar made this paradigm shift happen in my thought process through his lectures.

I am thankful to the universe that LMAD came to me as a complete package that helped me contemplate, and understand the drawbacks within me. Setting aside the fact that I may have many flaws in me, I have learnt to look within myself and reflect on my inner self to understand what my imperfections are and accept them with a larger perspective, and the process of learning will go on eternally !
