Master degree 
I joined for Master Degree (Botany) during 1980 at Safia College, affiliated to Barkatullah University (Former Bhopal University), Bhopal with specialization in Cyto-Genetics, Plant Breeding & Biometry. My Post-graduation involved number of Botanical tours/visits to various part of the M.P. Those days were memorable. First time in my life I started thinking about doing research. I am thankful to my senior Dr Sivaprasad, who induced research spirit in me.
My PhD Work 
That was an adventurous experience. I have joined the Department of Botany, S.V. University College, Tirupati during 1983 under the guidance of Prof. P. Gopala Rao, I would still say, joining in the department of Botany is my dream world, where I learnt, how to do research. An excellent experience for 3 years with Prof. P. Gopala Rao. Thesis Title: “Ethnobotanical survey and phytopharmaco-chemical Screening of selected medicinal plants of Chittoor Dist. A.P.” I started investigations on the Ethnobotany of Yanadhi tribes, I want to prove the tribal claims, which is one of the difficult challenges, I had faced during my research. Studies on preliminary screening showed interesting activities, pawing a way to isolate biological active molecules. I had the opportunity to work under the noble guidance of Prof. B.N.Dhawan at Central Drug Research Institute(CDRI), Lucknow to study of acute toxicity and Pharmacology of natural products and I had isolated and characterized Pharmacologically active compounds from plants at National Botanical Research Institute(NBRI), Lucknow under the supervision of Dr S.K.Nigam.

Yoga & Meditation training 
I started practising yoga meditation in 1974. Actually, I started Yoga and meditation to get more concentration in my Karate-do practice and I have another benefit i.e get-red of body pains due to breathing exercise. There I tried to meditate regularly morning and evening as I thought that this is the correct age for practice Yoga and Meditation. Initially, I had many doubts about these things like, how we can get the thoughtlessness? in front of a picture..... Once I met with my very close family friend Mr M.Vijaya Saradhi and he took me to Sri Sri Sri Guru Viswa Sphoorthi (1982) at Gudivada A.P. India. Guru clarified all my doubts regarding Yoga, meditation, and explained about vibrations in a scientific way and I decided to dedicate my life to Guru. From that day onwards I was fully prepared to practice meditation regularly. I used to sit in front of the photograph of Guru and I close my eyes and meditate regularly. Meditation was so deep that I didn’t want to open my eyes. After that, I felt very light also I felt as if I got the answer to all my questions. I used to feel the vibrations and find the number of physical changes, which are the evidence of getting awakening state effortlessly and spontaneously with the grace of Guru Viswa Sphoorthi. Really, Yoga is the only way to experience this joy. Actually through external means what we get is just happiness or pleasure but what we get through meditation is pure divine Joy.
