Dr Vikram Pattarkine
Diet purification (aharshuddhi) and intermittent fasting result in body purification, efficient conversion of food into body tissues (dhatus), increase in the subtle energy (ojas), improved immunity, and finally mind purification (chittashuddhi). This has been proven in Dr Vikram’s personal experience through careful experimentation and observation.
As a chemical-environmental-process engineer, Dr Vikram always knew vibrant health could be maintained by diet control and regular exercise, but had not been able to practice this knowledge consistently. In late 2017, when he transitioned to a natural diet as an experiment, his body weight reduced from 80 kg (176 lb) to 65 kg (143 lb) in 3 months. Other medical parameters - mildly elevated blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol - returned to normal levels. What started as an experiment became a lifestyle because of the pleasant experience of health. Over time, his yoga practice became more intense and his understanding of Shrimad BhagavadGita and Vedanta deepened.
Dr Vikram mentors the Sattv team as well as participants who seek his guidance. Many have achieved their ideal body weight and overcome their lifestyle challenges under his mentorship and guidance. He recommends we should eat as much natural food as possible, only to satisfy our body's needs, only when truly hungry, only till the first burp! When we follow this discipline, then other rules of Nature become clear from within as we progress on the path of discovering our own essential nature.
