Launching Heal Universe, a  new organization for all round well being, Founder Pradeep Chandramani who comes from Gandhinagar, Gujarat and has been abroad  for several years and  Africa has  been promoting spirituality, said that one meaning of spirituality is to connect with God. He has been to several places to tell the world how to change the thought process and heal themselves both physically and  mentally. His vision is to guide people to increase positivity. One cannot heal the whole universe but  by changing oneself one can help this process.  He added that one need not go to Babas and Gurus or wear saffron clothes or ‘rudraksh’  as everything is inside ourselves.

One  has just to evoke the light that is present in oneself. Modern medicines, Chandramani says, do not treat any disease permanently. It is only by changing the thought process, real change would come. He asked people not to give up mundane things but just add a bit of spirituality in their life. There is no need to wait till old age to meditate as no one knows when life would end. Life without positivty and peace has no value. He has encouraged people to meditate for 20 minutes every day and 2500-3000 persons all over the world are doing so.

He added that Thakur started his event management business six years ago when he was just 18 but with his creative thinking he has successfully managed 205 royal weddings and has become one of the top ten wedding planners of India. Co-founder, Sahil Thakur said that he has learnt meditation from Pradeep. When one is not doing anything one is meditating. One should not remain unhappy but try to find solutions and take the help of others. Pradeep said that he found the people of Udaipur to be very loving and his dream is to make the city a stress free place.
