DAY 1 (15/11/2025)
Session 1 (2.50 p.m. to 5.40 p.m.)

The stages 1 to 5 were done.
Stage 6 History Taking:

Amit had a tough childhood with alcoholic father and he never felt loved at home. He has a younger sister, who is 9 years younger to him. His remembered his family loving to him for a very small time and after that period he found everyone seeing him like an enemy. He remembers his father as a person who beats him and his mother brutally every night. He finds his father as a criminal and doubts as a killer. His father is from a financially sound family and has extra marital affairs.

Amit was never allowed to play outside from his childhood. He spent his life watching movies in television in his entire childhood. All he remembers was his father beating brutally with stick, belt, and pipes him and mother. When Amit was small, in his tuition class, others used to taunt him which made him calling bad words and teacher used to scold Amit. After a few days, they noticed the beaten marks on his back and understood the family situation. His tuition teacher was the first person approaching him with kindness. At a point of time, that friendship had prevented him turning from using drugs. Amit was very aggressive. He was back in studies but never cared for it. His teachers punished him for not studying and teased him during school days. He changed his school and the teachers were supportive in that school when they realized the family situation. After 7th, he moved to a new school. It was not a good experience for him. He became very aggressive during those days. He had only one intention that to release his aggression he got from his father every night. He started smoking and drinking even during class intervals. He had a crush during those days, but never told. One day a teacher asked him, what his problem is. And that day, he cried in front of that teacher uncontrollably. That teacher supported him during his school days. He joined college without his parents help. His father continued brutally beating him all this time. He began participating actively in college union and extracurricular activities. He fell in relationship during his college days. Towards the third year, they broke up and that made him depressed.

He remembers his mother telling Amit that he cannot even touch his father and gradually this removed the fear towards his dad. Once during his final year college days, he reacted back to his father by beating his father and complaining to police station. After that incident his father stopped paying the college fee. He remembers his father sexually embarrassing him in front of his mother. He also vividly remembers exorcism of his mother when he was in eight grade which was caused by his paternal family. After his college, he cut contacts with his family completely. His teacher gave him the money after pledging her gold to rent house and get into a job.

He believes he was pulled towards the Poornathrayeesha temple near his college. His then girlfriend, made him go to the temple. And now that temple is everything to him. Whenever he feels alone, he would go to that temple and he feels safe and calm. He relates himself to the warrior Arjuna and wishes to open own business in three years’ time. He is now employed and have no contacts with his family for the last one year. He had no relationships after that breakup. He had asthma, but not anymore. After he moved away from his family, he thinks his life has improved. His asthma ended and got a job and promotion. He feels isolated at times and has a fear of losing loved one. He also wants to know what is the goal of his life. And, he wonders what his relationship with Poornathrayeesha. He had a sense of belonging to that temple when he entered that temple for the first time. He is emotionally very much attached to that temple and the deity.

Stage 14 & 15: He received an inner strength that he was drawn towards God to show him that he is always protected. He got the messages to be bold, and each situations in his life were preparing him to be strong that he has a responsibility towards himself. He was assured that God is always with him and asked doesn’t he want to experience life with God. He would go back to light at the end of his life.

We could find out the relationship between him and Poornathrayeesha temple which he had doubts about. Even though we could find a solution to his isolation, got relaxed very much. After a week, feedback was taken and his pain level had come down to 3. The report was mailed and sent on WhatsApp to him.
