From Hypertension & Diabetes to Balance… After Retirement

So what inspired you, like within 1 week, why did you move to the Diamond? Were you going through any challenges before coming to CBH, any kind of health challenges or anything? So did you observe any changes after going through the courses? So when you were saying, talking about BP, what was your BP range before and after this? And what are the lifestyle changes you have made, or what are the practices you have adopted that helped you to improve your health?

My daughter says no, she is not interested in yoga. My eyesight and my gut issues and also my belchings and all that, you know, all have been cured within one month of doing it. Mind is the miracle of miracles, and I will continue to— almost it has come to a normal stage. So I have been more connected to you through this Lung Fitness Challenge. All the things that you have been teaching, you know, the habit tracker, and the goals and everything we have been following. People have never ever touched the crux of yoga, is breath. That's what our CVH is.

Today's guest is not about someone who has lost in chaos. He was already disciplined, a man of structure, a man of service. After dedicating decades of public life, he could have chosen comfort. But instead he chose consciousness. From early morning prayers to scriptures, yoga to long walks, discipline was never missing. But something deeper was calling him. He entered CBH as a Silver member and within one week moved to Diamond, and not out of impulse, out of conviction. From regulated hypertension and diabetes, improved sleep, and even transformation within his family, to choosing a lifetime diamond path. His journey is not about quick fixes, it's about divine timing. Please welcome a seeker who chose growth over comfort, none other than Jakaraya Pullah. Sir, Namaste. Namaste, sir. And it's really honor to have you here in our Conscious Breathing Podcast. Thank you for coming here. How is everything going?

Good. It is my privilege to be with you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. So I know that you have served government of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for many years, and what really inspired you to work in words?

Exactly, I wanted to tell you that, you know, I don't want to go to a doctor, I don't want to have medicine and all that. Me and my wife, man, she's damn afraid you want to go to a doctor. So all the way, you know, since past 30 years we have been practicing yoga, and we intend to continue the same because we used to We used to stay in city center 10 years ago, but now we have moved to outskirts. And we thought how to have a trainer. Either we used to go to the, once to the yoga center, or yoga teacher used to come to our home. Because it is outskirts, people are not coming. So I have told many a times my wife whether we will go for an online yoga training. She said no. 'How can you? You have to go for a trainer, you hire, whatever the money you want to pay, you pay it. I have tried desperately, but I have failed.' And somehow one of your advertisement catch hold of her intentions, you know, and she said, 'You know, it's better we will pay for ₹99, it's not a matter.' Then she paid, and again we joined for Silver immediately and migrated to Diamond Very next one week time.

So what inspired you, like within one week, why did you move to the Diamond?

No, the way you have been teaching, you know, as if a trainer is before our eyes. It, you know, really helped us so that we can go with you and it will really help for our health and also to the family.

Were you going through any challenges before coming to CBH, any kind of health challenges or anything?

No, not that, you know, perseverance and the faith is the key, especially in the Guru and the God. Things will really work out for a man or the family. So it has inspired us that to continue the yoga. And you know, the proverb says, if you train up a child the way he should go, when he will become old, he will not depart from it. So according to our ages also, we don't want to lose the connectivity with yoga, and then we have started with you.

So is any changes have you observed, like in your sleep, or like, um, I know that you might have had some BP challenge or anything. So did you observe any changes after going through the courses?

Yeah, and all said and done, you know, BP, diabetes is a common things in India, but when compared to other problems that are Very important to tell you, especially my eyesight and my gut issues and also my belchings and all that, you know, all have been cured within 1 month of doing it. Actually, we joined in September and now that we are almost free and I hope and cherish and the last time when I was online, I have told you that I will do a miracle. Mine is a miracle of miracles, and I will continue to say the things in the next project.

Wow, wow. So when you are saying, talking about BP, what, uh, what was your BP range before and after this?

Almost, uh, it has come to a normal stage. I used to have 140, 120 by 120, and now it is, uh, normal 120 by 90 and all. Me and my wife too.

Okay, okay.

For diabetes, there is some problem, but we kept faith in the yoga that you have been teaching, that definitely it will help us to come out of the diabetes too.

Any weight loss? Because I saw that like you're practicing along with your wife. What changes have you seen in your relationship, or any other changes you have seen as a family?

And my wife is very famous, you know, The way she speaks, the way she conducts, prompt in keeping the timings and getting things done and all that. I am bit lazy, but when she shouts at it— but now she used to have anxiety and all that, and, uh, problem in snoring and all that. I cured, and she took the weight challenge, uh, challenge also, and she reduced by 5 kgs. During last month.

Oh, in one month she has lost 5 kg.

It is very tremendous. I have tried for my weight loss almost for 6 months, but she could able to do it through your guidance, and every care was taken by you. And even the pictures, the calories, the way you will sleep, the times you sleep, everything has been monitored by you. That made it possible for her to do.

Awesome, awesome. So you have been practicing yoga for past 25 years, right? So almost 30 years. Wow. And you might have seen various teachers. So what's the difference between what you have seen before and CBH?

See, one of the philosophers, it said, God created man from the dust of the earth and he breathed into his nostrils, the breath, then man became a living soul. Yeah, maybe that is your theme. Yes, that is connected to my spirituality. It made it possible to believe that this will really work for us. So I have been more connected to you through this Lung Fitness Challenge. I am so fond of it, you know. My— when my wife said to go for this We were so fond of to, you know, immediately to pay the money and to have it and grab the chance to have good health and strength. Even in our relationship, she used to— she is very ferocious, as I said before, but now she could able to calm down and things are working out.

Awesome. But like, what differences have you seen in teaching style?

That's what I was telling, you know, See, Patanjali gave the Yoga Sutras and all that. Some people have got some ideas, some will do only Surya Namaskara, some do asanas, meditation, other things. But people have never ever touched the crux of yoga is breath. That's what our CBH is. So that made us Join you and come along with you.

Awesome, awesome.

That is a fundamental difference. Nobody could have— see, one of our prophets said, see, God created things in skeletal form, but he left everything to the man to do the things. You are the man who made it possible through the breath life to give life for others. It is really working for them.

Thank you, thank you. So, uh, like many people might be viewing this, and what are the lifestyle changes you have made, or what are the practices you have adopted that helped you to improve your health, or your wife's health, your family's health? Can you tell us so that it will be beneficial for them also?

It's a good question, and I will tell you. When you train up the chain, you know, you will not go from when you will become old. That has happened in our case. We are highly disciplined. We are from farmers' families, you know. People used to wake up early and go for the works and all that. Even the farmer families, people, parents will engage the children time and again to follow up actions and all those things. All the things that you have been teaching, you know, the habit tracker and the goals and set everything we have been following. And even the government service also I used to follow. And your ashtana is the things, you know, if I intend the targets, we will have the government service, you know. If I like to 100 rupees this year, I have to achieve 130 in the next year. Imagine. So that way I have served in the government almost for 34 years. So the goals are very common, but you have put us again on rail. So sometimes I could not able to write the journals and all that. Now that we are writing, even, you know, to switch off the electric, I mean, switchboard, my wife used to shout at me. Now she is telling, when you are not using, you switch off the—

you become more conscious.

So that made it possible for us.

And, uh, have you been using habit trackers, like all the practices which we recommended? Can you tell us about that, like whether you are following habit tracker?

Yes, everybody has to follow this. You know, if you train up the child, he will go from childhood, things will really work out. That's what your children's club is also working for that. That is really helpful. Maybe my grandchildren, they are living in US and one is at Hyderabad. My daughter says no, she is not interested in yoga, but it is really useful, you know. Once they will train up right from the beginning. From the habit tracker, we have learned how best we can all the things that we are having a society, Indian society, where everything that you are teaching, it is almost from that. Indian culture, we will awake early, drink water, pray, and read the scriptures every day. Almost 4 to— I mean, 4 o'clock to 10 o'clock, we'll do the same thing. And now that, you know, by 6 o'clock, she will awake at 4 o'clock or at 3 o'clock and get ready for yoga class. And she will having, you know, alarm. And before that, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and again latest 5 minutes, we'll get ready and we'll sit for yoga time. So everybody No one under the sky will do anything between 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock. If you really use that time to do yoga or to come to CBH, people will really have good health and strength and to have a changed version of themselves. That's what you are not— we are also trying to have a changed version of ourselves. The best.

Awesome, awesome. You have mentioned, you said that like Rome was not built in a day. Can you talk about that?

Yes, really. When I was on CBH classes and all, when you are teaching, you know, people will ask, sir, I have started my CBH and LFC yesterday, but I am having this problem. See, Rome was not built in a day. See, although I am having a problem for 70 years, I cannot expect expect miracles on the self-same day of joining just because I have paid some money and to get to grab the opportunity. See, if you go to your doctor, they will never recommend anything. No one is recommending the food, no one is recommending us. How is your sleep? You have been inquiring about us, even the bed, your mattresses you are using. You use in the classes, you have been telling in the Inner Circle and also the wisdom classes. See, one-third of our life will be on the mattresses. How best you can use the good mattress to have a good sleep also you have been trained. What more people can have it? So we have to wait and do and reap blessing. Whatever you sow, so you reap. Unless you do that, you have to wait and see.

True. It's mainly about implementation, consistency, and what kind of mindset they are doing is also very, very important. So how, what changes have you seen in your spiritual growth after coming to CBH?

Yeah, it's a good question. Again, see, I have been connecting all the things to this, you know, the body. You know, one of the philosophers from Rome, he was telling, you know, Know ye not ye are the temples of God, the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. So we are spiritual beings with human experience. True. So you have to use your body wisely for the best use and so that a day will come that we will all become Gods.

Yes.

How God will be? God was like us one day and he became a God too. You, once we do all these things, will really, we will become God's family and it will really help for the society. And the families are eternal. So we are having 3 parts of life. One is pre-mortal, mortal now, and we will have eternal life. So in the next life also, your family, your wife and your children will also come. So that you must remember. And in our Indian society, where they will teach, you know, the Word of wisdom. Word of wisdom is the wisdom you have been teaching, like, you know, not to take tea, coffee, tobacco, alcohol in any form. And you have to pay 10% for God's work and also have charity. And also to go— that's what you have been in the CBI also, we are learning things, you know, we have to help others. The other day, you know, we gave our number to the CBH stating that anybody coming to Hyderabad, because we are living at Hyderabad, you can come and you can have any help from her. We gave a number, one of the sisters called from Coimbatore, so we arranged a car today. So that way, you know, the ministering also, we will go for 3-4 families every month and then we will concerned on the welfare of them, and we will report back to our society. The same way we are also reporting to you in the CBH. What are we doing? Where are we going? How are we meeting the people? And it is really amazing, you know, the way the CBH is working. Sarva Janasukhino Vohun. Yeah.

So how did you feel like Diamond Community? Because now that you have mentioned that one of the members has approached you. Like all the members are like very connected to each other as well as supporting each other. Like, can you talk about that?

Like, yes, CBH is user-friendly. I can say that, you know, if you are having, uh, the, the other day you shown the how to measure the, uh, how different parts are working in the body. It is about to launch.

Yeah, yeah, the app.

Same way about the individuals. How individuals are working, how individuals are— individuals, when we are seeing, you know, that in the CBI family, how Basoras Garu doing, how Kashi Garu is doing at that age, and me also doing at this age, really marvelous, you know, having close affinity among brother and sister, what, in the community. And your— I like your challenge. The challenge is You intend to have so many teachers to teach. We are having 140 crores of population. We need so many. When people will know some having some knowledge, they intend to keep the knowledge with themselves and they wanted to make money with that. Your challenge is not only to have money for yourself, but also you are giving a challenge for others that you can earn money. This nobody will teach. So what my message for all those who are within our sound of voice, to join CBH and learn things and work for the welfare of the society at large.

Yes, that is very important because very close to my heart also. This knowledge is no one's, right? So I alone cannot take to any, any, all the members. So the intention, it's not about me going to that person and reaching, it's also like through others, like whomever I am training, even if they take this knowledge forward, we can help the society in a better way, really, like many people, as many people as possible. That is the reason, intention behind we started Breath Healer certification also. So because I know, I realized many people were approaching me, can you teach in regional languages, different cities? But I am, my, now my time is limited. So that's the reason we have come up with that Breathila certification. Thank you so much for bringing that, which is close to my heart as well, where we want to train as many people as possible who can take this forward. Yes, and thank you, thank you so much, um, like, for coming here and giving this podcast and inspiring all the members. And I've seen you, how consistent you are. Like, I haven't seen any class you have missed. Yeah, you and your wife. Yes, right from since September I've been seeing you on camera every time. Like, you coming and morning sessions, evening sessions, the flex. Like, I've been seeing you very consistently. Like, that today you are able to see this many results, it's only because of your consistency and working together as a family. Thank you so much. Thank you for inspiring all of us.

Thank you so much to you.

Uh, so now I, I know that I have been seeing you both practicing together. How important do you think, like, working along with family or practicing along with family?

All said and done, family is the basic unit in Heavenly Father's plan. In God's plan, family is the basic unit. You should see the, the family who prays together, you will read together, chant together, will stay together. That is very, very important, you know. Husband and wife, you know, once you will be together, you will be together forever. That's what I said, the pre-mortal and mortal now, and in the eternal life, we will all be together with our family. Entire Gella family will be with you, entire Pulla family be with It's not a law. So except, you know, many of the things you have been teaching, if you go for the family history, yes, and genealogy, that plays very vital.

Your wife asked you to join, or you asked her to join, or you both joined?

Oh, what a wonderful question, Rithi. Yeah, whatever she says, I will be okay, except in the financial matter somehow. In 4 or 5 incidents, I went to Adi Harinath Gella Gella's instructions, I have failed. So in yoga, I have been asking for her to go for online, but somehow she never said okay. Somehow she said okay after seeing your advertisement. How your advertisement mesmerized her, I don't know, but it made it. So all those who are the Those who have joined the CBH community, it is also free of cost, as you many times you'll repeat. It is absolutely free for your family. If it is a spouse joins, the other spouse is free. Yes. If both parents join, grandkids free. It's a free offer. People can join really. Yes. And people can learn as a family and stay together, not only here but also in the next life to come. But people are not conducive towards yoga because they are young, they feel that they are energetic, but they are having a Swiggy food, they are having Instagram, so many things they are having but not health. Health is wealth. Nobody can do, you know, you will go— I am having bitter experience with the doctors. So people have mocked me, and, uh, and, uh, but despite of all the challenges, and she took a challenge, especially my wife, thanks to her, and thanks me too, and, uh, God for all his help and support for me, especially in my hyper myopia, my I have tried even before my marriage, you know, 53 years ago I have tried for 7 days and 7 nights I was without food and without water. Can you imagine? Just praying God. I was in a hillak, Padmakshi Temple at Hanumgonda, which was very high. I was there for 7 days and 7 nights without food and water. That, you know, people will say that you can do this. Fasting and all that will help her. In those days it was very difficult to wear lens at 53 years old. But still after our marriage she made it possible for us to go to a seminar like where it was told Russian doctor, they got surgery on one of my eyes and they left, they left it. He will ask Somehow your CBH helped me to regain my eyesight.

Wow.

It's a miracle of miracles. So for families together will do. See, if my wife is doing, I am not doing. If husband is doing, wife is not doing, that will not work that way.

Yes.

Yeah, they have to see. She will take care of, she will pay. a doctor, an actor, and everything for us. When we don't listen to them, things will not work out. So that's why, you know, family, they pray together, we stay together, and grow together, and live together forever.

Yeah, even I heard from Sujata ji, like, she went to the hospital, there are so many people in the hospital, negative energy, and she was trying to spread this. So can you talk about that, like, your experience?

Yeah, you know, you know this, uh, Haichi advertisement, wherever you go, my network follows. So I was kidding the other day, you know, when we say people, so wherever there is a problem, we are sending that one day's card together with your 3 hours non-stop, what is that called?

Breathing, breathing practice.

Breathing practice. Yeah, wherever we will go, my network follows. So we will say that, and I will keep my wife saying that, 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3. Not 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, Badarinath Gella. So that must be the message we are spreading to the people. Really, it will breath. That's what I said, you know, one of the old Egyptian prophet, he recorded that, you know, God breathed into the nostrils of man, he became Yes, true, true, true. Even in that, that's what you, you will teach, you know, in the nighttime prana healing sessions. The prana life, that's what without which no one is in survival. Exactly. Without petrol, a car will not run. True, the same.

Yes, yes, absolutely. That is what I also tell in the classes, right? So even in, uh, like other scriptures also, if you see different kinds of scriptures, it has been told that God entered into our body through through breath and he leaves our body through breath. So what we are inhaling is God's energy, which is helping and vitalizing.

As you said, people on the day of death, before the burial, people will display the Gita and all that.

Yes.

Whether the dead body will hear about it or the person, those who are living, nobody knows. The chanting you have been teaching for the people, it is really helpful. Yes, so I know, I see, once you recite the things, that will really help for us. Yeah, when you do it right from childhood, some people will ask, some people will test my memory. I said, see, don't tell lies. I know, so this we have studied when I was a kid of 2 years or 3 years old. In Pethapalashiksha, maybe you might not have heard.

We have that book at home.

Maybe because, you know, old people, they will keep.

Yes, yes.

So that is, you know, it improves the memory skills. It will like, it will lies on and it will link with deity.

Awesome, awesome. So thank you, thank you so much once again. And it was, it has been a powerful, powerful discussion. I think all the viewers will have a lot of, a lot of value out of this podcast. And I request whoever is watching, please share your takeaways in the comment section. And looking forward to see you again in the classes. Thank you. Namaste.

Thank you.

So what is your favorite breathing?

I said, you know, the same thing, 1-2-3.

1-2-3.

1-2-3 and next 6.

3-6 breathing. 3-6 breathing is your favorite. Okay, okay. So let's practice 3-6 breathing. Very, very powerful. You know that it activates your parasympathetic nervous system, longer exhalations are very, very powerful always. So let's do that. And please sit comfortably. You can adapt to Dhyanamudra or palms facing upwards. And inhale for 3 seconds, exhale for 6 seconds. So while inhaling, observe your breath. Breathe in, 1, 2, 3. Breathe out, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Inhale through your nose, breathe in, 1, 2, 3. Exhale through your nose, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Keep focusing on your breath. Inhale slowly, exhale slowly. Breathe in through your nose. Breathe out through your nose. Keep focusing on your breath. Make sure your shoulders are relaxed, your neck muscles are relaxed. Your spine is erect. Inhale for 3 seconds, exhale for 6 seconds. Last time. Slowly relax your efforts and gently open your eyes. How are you feeling practicing one-to-one?

Yeah, good, good, great. Relax. Yeah, thank you.

Yeah, so practice this On daily basis, at least for 5 minutes every day, in the morning, in the evening, you'll see crazy results.
