4worldlovers: Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 – 1986), though he denied any titles, was a philosopher and an eminent writer and speaker on philosophical and spiritual issues, including human relationships, psychological revolution, the nature of the human mind, consciousness and evolution, meditation, and bringing about positive social change. He was a socialist in his approach in maintaining that society was ultimately the product of the interactions of individuals, he held that fundamental change in society could emerge only through freely undertaken radical change in the individual (Krishnamurti, 2008, pg.11). He stressed and asserted the need for a revolution in the psyche of every human being and posited that such a revolution could not be brought about by any external entity, be it religious, political, or social. He propounded that such change had to be brought about by a holistic transformation from within, and an insight into the various layers of one’s consciousness (Krishnamurti, 1987, pg.7). Born into a Telugu family, in what was then colonial India, he lived, in his early adolescence, next to the Theosophical Society headquarters at Adyar, in Chennai (earlier, Madras). He then came in contact with influential theosophists, Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater, who educated him, believing him to be a future spiritual leader. However, Krishnamurti later dissolved and broke away from the Theosophical Society and travelled internationally as an independent speaker and writer on fundamental human issues. Krishnamurti spoke on various subjects and topics, but did not expound on one particular philosophy, he spoke about issues that would address day to day human conditions.

J. Krishnamurti differentiated pleasure from joy, and for various reasons, he considered the pursuit of joy as a higher goal than the pursuit of pleasure. He invited his audiences to envision and imagine if it was possible to live in a world that is bereft of pleasure but filled with joy and bliss.

Krishnamurti elaborates on the various kinds of pleasure that one indulges into and of various degrees and forms.

We are all engaged in the pursuit of pleasure in some form or other – intellectual, sensuous or cultural pleasure, the pleasure of reforming, telling others what to do, of modifying the evils of society, of doing good – the pleasure of greater knowledge, greater physical satisfaction, greater experience, greater understanding of life, all the clever, cunning things of the mind – and the ultimate pleasure is, of course, to have God.

According to Krishnamurti, the structure of society is based on pleasure. He states that from childhood to death people are secretly pursuing pleasure. He says that it is important for each individual to investigate the question of pleasure very closely. He affirms that pleasure is a basic demand of life and without it, existence becomes ‘dull, stupid, lonely, and meaningless’ (Krishnamurti, 1969, p.46).

Krishnamurti makes an argument about why one should investigate the question of pleasure, because it guides and shapes one’s life and is therefore very important. He makes an argument against pleasure for a simple reason that ‘pleasure brings pain, frustration, sorrow and fear, and out of fear violence’ (Krishnamurti, 1969, p.46). He states that it is an individual’s choice about how to live their life, they can choose to live in pain and sorrow, which according to him, most of the world anyways chooses to live like, or, he proposes another wiser choice, to live a life which is free from sorrow but for which, he offers, one has to understand the structure of pleasure.

He says that to understand pleasure, one doesn’t have to deny or condemn it, or to judge it as right or wrong, by knowing it, one will lead to its shadow, i.e., pain.

To understand pleasure is not to deny it. We are not condemning it or saying it is right or wrong, but if we pursue it, let us do so with our eyes open, knowing that a mind that is all the time seeking pleasure must inevitably find its shadow, pain. They cannot be separated, although we run after pleasure and try to avoid pain.

Krishnamurti questions the reader and invites them to ponder about why the mind always demands pleasure, and why does it do various noble and ignoble things with the undercurrent of pleasure, and why we sacrifice and suffer on the thin thread of pleasure, he further questions about the nature of pleasure and how it comes into being. He wonders if the reader has asked these questions and have followed the answers and where it leads at the end.

4worldlovers: My mom has suffered from depression off and on for years and earlier this year she was going through a really tough time - she was not even able to get up from bed due to psychological condition. I found Dr. Dalwani through online research and reached out to her. She was able to accommodate my mom immediately, evaluated her and adjusted the medications. Within few weeks we noticed improvement in my mom’s condition. Dr. Dalwani is a very good listener and was very patient with my mom’s behavior. Dr. Dalwani is caring, affable and focused on the correct diagnosis+ medications. She was gracious enough to answer my questions about treatment outside of scheduled appointments. My mom is doing much better now and is able to enjoy her activities & life. Dr. Nishtha Dalwani has been a lifesaver for my family and I am forever grateful for her help & guidance. I would recommend her to anyone needing psychological help!

I had been suffering from anxiety since a long time but was not comfortable to visit a doctor. Finally, when my anxiety worsened I searched for psychiatrists on google. I found Dr Nishtha Ma’am’s contact details through google and I immediately contacted her through WhatsApp that night. She replied to me immediately and told me to book an appointment the very next day. As soon as I told my problems to Ma’am she diagnosed the disorder correctly and started my treatment. Today, after 6 months of my treatment I can confidently say that my anxiety is under control and I’m managing my things better. The treatment has also helped me to focus on my professional career as the anxiety used to affect my daily activities and meetings. Two of my close friends also visited Dr. Nishtha after seeing the improvement in my condition. She is definitely the best doctor and always stays in touch with her patients to check their condition during the treatment. I can’t thank her enough for her contributi...

It’s been almost 4 months when I approached Doctor Nishta for treatment. I could say a lot has changed after that for better. She’s kind, affable, a very good listener and very understanding. I feel more confident and at ease already! Healing mentally is not an easy process but when you have someone like her who’s determined to provide you the help you need, things gets much easier and lighter. The same was with me! I can say with confidence that I took the right decision by visiting her. I have become more calm, thoughtful and I don’t get anxiety like how I use to. Because I have learnt most of things in my therapy that I wasn’t aware of in the past. I Thank you Doctor Nishtha for providing the best care that I needed for my mental health. I’m super glad I visited you before things could deteriorate in my life! I’d recommend anyone blindly to visit her for your concerns with your mental health it’s never too late.

Personal counseling and Mentoring empowers you to take control of your life and future; to achieve your goals and live your values, whilst maintaining life balance.

Through deciding what you truly want and committing fully to achieving your objectives, you can successfully create and live the life you really want - both personally and professionally.

When we started the course, I placed my expectation and objective of joining this course as "to understand and cultivate myself", a very humble expectation. I must say that it is far more satisfied.

So far, I was able to read my mind...with the various thoughts... good / bad... cropping in it. However, I was not knowing how to control them.... how to channelize them. We learned a lot of techniques, such as positive affirmation, swishing, anchoring and many more, that could be used to achieve this.

Even to the minimum, I can say, the aspects like active listening, paraphrasing, empathizing etc, are of great value in improving our personal relations, communications etc... whether we do any counselling or not.

And all the credit goes to both our teachers, Minu mam and Japneet mam... who went far more than just to be the normal course deliverers... With them we felt like Knowledge of Ganga was just overflowing to it's fullest extent... it was our limitation as to how much we could absorb... And last, but not least, I am benefited with 25 Gem like friends .. I will value them a lot more in my life...

My recommendation... everybody should at least once in their life time, go for this course... the earlier, the better....

4worldlovers: Please Note: Because of the current pandemic, the clinic is shut and numbers are unreachable. Kindly use the contact form to get in touch.

Over last 17 years of work, I have always felt that clients always find their own answers. As a therapist all I can do is offer a safe space which allows people to build hope, tap in to their inner resilience and learn to process various emotions. My role as a therapist is facilitative and at the same time that of providing techniques and tools for people to deal with overwhelming emotions. Therapy works on a principle of unconditional regard and at the same time an attitude where I do trust the client to know what’s best for them.

I’m eclectic in my approach and I primarily lean towards human-centered, existential, and compassion based approaches in my work. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Jungian approaches if the client's concerns require that skill-set.
