Hi everybody, my name is Rishi and I've come here for the first time. I'm coming from Bangalore and I wanted to kind of express my gratitude to Aravind and everybody in the team. This particular experience of walking meditation was simply out of the world. This is the first time in my 50 years that I have walked barefoot on such a ground. And it was very, very hurtful in the start, but when I started focusing on the meditation part of it, slowly and steadily the pain of foot came down and I started to enjoy it. So thank you, Aravind, for giving me this experience.
