I attended the Gnan Vidhi one afternoon in may in Cardiff in 2007. We were shown to our places and we waited for some time. The indian participants started to sing some preparatory chants, and then Deepakbai started to chant the sentences that we should repeat. Everybody in the hall almost shouted the words, and completely correct in Gujarati as it was their mother tounge. Apart from me and my friend and one english lady, only Indians were present.

Well, but I chanted the sentences to the best of my ability, and I did not feel anything special. I also tried not to expect too much so that i would not be disappointed. As I had been chanting for somewhere about 15 minutes, however, I felt a wonderful and divine energy settle on me and fill me with a bliss that I had never experienced. My whole body was tingling and vibrating with bliss and joy, and my consciousness was copletely. I was then convinced that this was the real thing as I was filled with this wonderful blissful feeling. The feeling was very clear and present for about half an hour, then its intencity receded somewhat, but leaving me much changed with a clear self-consciousness. I had the feeling that struggling with the long sentences made me come out of the intensely blissful state but I was not quite sure. It was under all circumstances a wonderful experience, and I know now that it is possible to experience Self-realization even though one thinks that it is far away from oneself.
