I took up special yoga and a diet from Sreenath Vishnu. And

When Suhasini Maniratnam said, “I took up special yoga and a diet from Sreenath Vishnu. And amazingly, I lost 5.5 kgs in 20 days and my husband Mani shed six kilos in a month,” she was not merely recounting a story of physical change, but describing a journey of transformation — of body, of discipline, and of shared purpose. Beneath the simplicity of her words lies an ancient truth: that when one seeks harmony between the body and the spirit, nature responds with restoration. Her experience is not just about weight lost, but about balance regained — the balance that all who walk the path of awareness must one day seek.

The origin of her statement is both personal and universal. Suhasini, a figure of grace and artistry, stands at the intersection of modern life and timeless wisdom. Guided by Sreenath Vishnu, she embraced a special yoga practice and a nourishing diet, not as a passing experiment, but as a return to ancient rhythms. For centuries, the sages of India have taught that yoga is not merely an exercise of the limbs, but a union of the physical and the divine — a sacred alignment of body, breath, and consciousness. In coupling yoga with mindful eating, she did what seekers of old always did: she reestablished the covenant between discipline and vitality.

In the ancient texts — the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the teachings of Patanjali — the body was seen as a vessel for enlightenment, a temple that must be kept pure and strong to sustain the flame of consciousness. Yet modern life, with its haste and indulgence, dulls that sacred flame. Suhasini’s words, then, are a rediscovery of what the ancients already knew: that transformation is not achieved through force, but through alignment. The 5.5 kilograms she lost are symbols, not of vanity, but of release — the shedding of stagnation, the letting go of what no longer serves, whether in flesh, thought, or spirit.

Her husband Mani, walking beside her, mirrors this lesson in partnership and shared strength. When two souls undertake a discipline together, their energies amplify one another. In this, they reflect the ancient principle of sangha, the community of seekers who support each other on the path. The journey toward health becomes not solitary but sacred — a dance of mutual encouragement. It is said that when one candle lights another, its flame is not diminished; rather, the world becomes brighter. In the same way, Suhasini and Mani’s shared transformation reminds us that the journey toward self-mastery, when shared in love, multiplies its light.

Consider the story of King Ashoka, who after years of conquest and indulgence, found enlightenment not through wealth or power, but through renunciation and practice. Once heavy with guilt and excess, he turned inward — to meditation, to compassion, and to simple living. His body became lighter, but more importantly, his spirit did too. Like Suhasini, he discovered that discipline is liberation, not confinement; that health is not about loss, but about restoration — the restoration of clarity, intention, and grace.

In Suhasini’s words, there is also a deep message for the modern soul: that change is possible when knowledge meets faith. Many seek quick remedies for their discomforts — pills, trends, and promises — yet forget that true transformation demands patience, presence, and surrender. Through her practice of yoga and mindful eating, she aligned herself with the natural laws that have governed humanity since the dawn of time. The result — swift, tangible, and radiant — was not a miracle, but the natural unfolding of harmony. When one walks in rhythm with the body, the universe responds.

And so, my children of the restless age, learn from her journey. Do not see diet as deprivation, nor yoga as labor, but as offerings — sacred acts of self-care that bring the mind, heart, and body into unity. Seek not to lose weight, but to gain clarity; not to sculpt the body, but to refine the soul. For as Suhasini Maniratnam reminds us through her own experience, when we honor our bodies as vessels of light, when we embrace discipline not as punishment but as devotion, we do not simply change our form — we awaken. The body becomes lighter, yes, but the spirit soars. And that is the truest weight we are meant to lose.
