WHAT THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL SAY ABOUT US

I have known Behram since early 1991. He is one of the most outstanding teachers I have ever met, who introduced me to the fabulous world of meditation and a breathtaking discovery of my inner self. He taught me the importance of making time to know my finer qualities, as this is an essential pre-requisite to awakening.

What is really uplifting about his courses is that they are full of FUN! Behram has an infectious laugh and with his hilarious jokes and stories, has his students rolling on the floor with laughter. Like little children, we demand and listen to his bedtime stories with rapt attention, which illustrate the teachings for the day.

Behram has a very positive and empowering outlook on life, which rubs off on his students, lighting the spark of commitment in their hearts to live more enriching and inspiring lives. He encourages all his students to view all life-situations as a blessing because only then can we see the extraordinary in the ordinary. And for this, I am deeply grateful to him.

Behram came into my life in early 1995, as a spiritual guide and mentor. I attended his workshops regularly in Mumbai, which I found very inspiring and empowering. He helped me to find clarity regarding the choices I made pertaining to my life's vocation and values.

In 2001, I attended my first three-month residential retreat with him in Manali, India, followed by another three month residential retreat the next year. What transpired thereafter is simply fascinating. Although I was an Architecture student at the time I met Behram, I felt that life was pointing me elsewhere and, therefore, through the classes, I acquired enough clarity and courage to let go of this vocation, and follow my true calling, instead.

Thereafter, I explored various courses on mind-body enhancement, such as NLP, Kinesiology and Yoga, as a way of living more authentically. I am now a Yoga teacher and am able to express myself in ways that bring tremendous satisfaction and joy in my life, as I see my students benefit from what I offer.

Looking back upon the time before these changes occurred in my life, I see how beautifully and gently, Behram led me out of the dark prison of a suffocating lifestyle, into the brilliance of living life to the fullest, in dedicated service to others. My whole being rejoices with gratitude towards Behram and all the treasures he has helped me to unveil from within myself.

I was in search of some fun and relaxation when I visited the beautiful Himalayan town of Manali, in 1999. However, life had other plans for me as I ended up at the Nembutsu Centre, instead, situated in a lovely apple orchard on the outskirts of town. Until that fateful day I met Behram, I thought I knew all about life and how it is to be lived. I was absolutely certain that my beliefs were the only correct ones; that the way I saw things, was the only way they were; that outer gratifications were the only source of joy and happiness.

After attending just one Introductory Talk with Behram, I was so impressed with the teachings he offered, that I ended up staying back for the full period of three months to partake of his wisdom. As my practice unfolded, I found out that I was way off the track in my understanding of life and realized that things were totally contrary to what I had so far envisioned them to be.

I also discovered that spirituality was no longer beyond my reach and that it lies within the simplest aspects of living. What a magnificent revelation!

Thank you, Behram.

I had the absolute gift of a lifetime in meeting Behram Ghista at the Nembutsu Centre in India in 1999. I listened to one introductory talk and was instantly intrigued and before long deeply inspired. It was as if he was talking directly to me. I found out later that the other students too experience the same relevance and intimacy with the way he presents the teachings.

I stayed on at the Centre for three months because I knew there was much more to be discovered about myself and the world I lived in. I would definitely have stayed on much longer, but the centre was closing for winter and I had to move on, to practice what I had joyfully learned in those magical three months at NC, which was situated in the midst of the beautiful and fascinating Himalayan ranges.

It is clear to me that Behram understands the subtle intricacies of life as I observe his behaviour through his speech and his actions, which is a rare thing indeed. And even more stirring than this, for me, is that Behram is able to express the teachings of the Buddha in such a profoundly simple manner, that I not only grasp the message intellectually, but also feel deeply motivated to apply what I learn in practical terms, in my everyday actions.

I have had teachers and coaches at school and in sport, but I did not have one to guide me through the snakes and ladders of life. Behram's capacity to be gentle and nurturing, and to perceive life in creative and empowering ways, are qualities I aspire to and as such, my life continues to flourish as I approach it with deeper meaning, appreciation and grace, for the benefit of all beings including myself.

I feel intensely blessed to be Behram's student since 2001. From the time we first met, I have attended several retreats under his loving and skilled guidance, the longest being for three months in the lap of the Himalayas, in North India. So far, every experience I have had of Behram's teachings has been imbued with a beautiful simplicity and a profound depth. Behram's remarkable clarity and presence brings a fresh and exhilarating perspective to the issues in my life ~ a perspective that is so pure and integrated, that its truth is self evident. Just coming into contact with this has brought me an enormous sense of relief, hope and enthusiasm for life.

The energy in his classes, while on retreats, is very inspiring and greater than in any other learning environment I have ever been in. The classes are enormous fun, and somehow within the lightness and laughter there is a gentle power, which nurtures me as a student to be intimately involved in the process of true learning, which is not just a matter of simply acquiring information. This is because the teacher and the teachings are a mirror in which I am able to view my own choices and their consequences ~ and in this reflection, I continue to discover the possibilities within possibilities for self-transformation and living in grace.

As the father of a teenage boy, each small step I take towards being more loving, joyful and aware, is incredibly precious, as it greatly influences the quality of my parenting each day in positive and resourceful ways.

Behram, thank you sooo much for the priceless gift of your presence in my life and your fantastic teachings, which continue to enrich the quality of my personal and professional life, not just for my benefit alone, but also for the benefit of so many others.

I have attended three retreats with Behram since 2001, and each one has been simply life transforming. As a Manager in the Scandinavian Airlines System, I had attended many courses on management skills, but Behram's teachings took me much further in learning how to relate to others with greater love and understanding.

As an engineer by profession, I was unaware of how left-brained my thinking and approach to life was. It is only through Behram's classes and the creative exercises he introduced me to, that I was able to view life from a whole-brain perspective. Needless to say, my family and friends ~ and most of all, myself ~ benefited immensely from this holistic way of being.

The spiritual path requires us to highlight what is essential and to be true to one"s inner calling. As such, I chose to listen to my heart and resigned from my career after many years of service, in order to pursue what gave me far more satisfaction. Therefore, my present career ~ which I love immensely ~ is as a school teacher on the beautiful island of Samsoe, in Denmark.

Dear Behram, I thank you and myself for the great effort we both made, to lift me out of my mediocre frequencies into inspirational ones. Life is so much more enriching and beautiful for me than it ever was before.

I feel blessed and privileged to have met Behram in 2001 on his first visit to Australia, and after having attended his talks, workshops and retreats, my life has been transformed in a magical way.

Behram's unique ability to share his wisdom in a very simple, understandable and loving way made me realize that I was living a very mediocre life. Since then, I have awakened to my heart's desire to live with greater purpose and meaning in my life, and through this, I have discovered deeper happiness and peace in my waking moments.

No doubt, I still have a long and challenging journey ahead, but with Behram's guidance and support, I am willing to do what it takes to gain mastery of my life and circumstances and be passionate about bringing joy to myself and others.

I am extremely grateful to Behram for his love, dedication and compassion over the years, which has prompted me to live much more consciously, so that I can enrich my life and that of others, in more ways than I can imagine.

I was living a life of abundance. The type I'd worked hard for, to achieve my slice of happiness through the mass hysteria called living with one's blinkers on. And inevitably, the void inside me grew larger each day, because the end of craving is not achieved by feeding the illness.

Meeting Behram in 2002 was the turning point in my life. Thanks to Behram's retreats and interactive style of teaching, I was led ever so skilfully to discover some surprisingly extraordinary answers within myself. And yet, regardless of the answers I unearth from within, I am continually bestowed with an even more profound answer from the Master Blaster ~ of delusions ~ that keeps me coming back for more.

With warm regards,

Life offers us many opportunities to grow and blossom ~ to raise our awareness; to make different choices; and to develop our skills when it comes to enjoying the magic carpet ride of life, with all its twists and turns. Sometimes we see the door of opportunity and sometimes we overlook it completely.

In 2003, one such door opened for me and I went to the beautiful hinterlands of Byron Bay to attend Master B's Yoga and Meditation Retreat.

My life has changed exponentially through having met this amazing man. I have studied Buddhism at Kopan Monastery in Nepal, I have left my corporate employer of 19 years and I am now discovering what really makes my heart sing my passion in life. Most importantly, I have learnt so much about myself, how I view this world and my involvement in it, and the importance of being spiritually attuned to create enriching outcomes for myself and others.

This does not mean that I live in some silken cocoon, sheltered from life's challenges, because they still appear from time to time. But through the guidance, teachings and loving kindness I receive from Behram, I have now acquired greater skills and awareness to support me in making wiser choices and responses to life's unscheduled events.

If you're reading this testimonial, then it means the door of opportunity is before you right now. Trust in yourself, open this door to a spectacular discovery of what is finest in you by attending Master B's classes. In my view, my first retreat with him, followed by many other classes and retreats, has been among the most rewarding experiences in this lifetime.

And let's not forget beautiful Sherry, Behram's assistant. Her love, touch and cuisine are amazing and so very nurturing.

Thank you, Master B.

Prior to meeting Behram, I was disillusioned and struggled to find meaning in the day-to-day grind that had become my life. Having graduated from university with two degrees and established a successful career, I still felt that something was missing. I yearned to discover my life's purpose, but did not know how to unlock my unique talents and abilities.

Through his teachings, Behram has provided me with hope and inspiration. Under his guidance, I am now living a more fulfilling life and am well on my way to determining how I can put my talents and abilities to better use, and make a positive and even greater contribution to society.

I signed up for a 10-day retreat with Behram, in 2004, after being thoroughly inspired by a very dear friend of mine to do so. I had no knowledge whatsoever of the Buddha's teachings and my many attempts to meditate up to that point had been frustrating. Coming to a retreat with a beginners mind was the best thing I did, as I arrived fresh and with no expectations and WOW! What a pleasant surprise I received when, after ten days of inspirational teachings, my perception of what I knew about the world changed dramatically and I knew I would never be able to return to that hiding place I was living in before.

Behram's teachings are incredibly powerful. He communicates complex ideas in simple and easy to understand terminology without any jargon. In this gifted manner in which he presents the teachings, there is not a single minute where his students feel bored or restless. In fact, we cannot get enough of the wisdom he imparts to us all. His teachings are so applicable to our daily lives that we not only identify easily with what he is saying, but also feel enthusiastic to apply what we learn once we get back home.

Some tangible benefits of having known Behram are as follows: I left an unfulfilling job, sold my house in the country, and moved to Sydney from Tasmania with my son to pursue a new career. My personal relationships with loved ones, including my son, improved ten-fold. I am now much happier, I love what I do, and I feel empowered to be true to myself and others more and more every day. The beautiful thing is that these positive changes in my life have inspired many other people to make wholesome changes in their lives also.

Thank you, Behram, for your love, friendship, guidance and for being such a wonderful and inspiring teacher.

Although I live in the UK, I have had the good fortune to attend two retreats with Behram ~ one in Sweden (15 days in 2004) and one in Australia (10 days in 2006).

On my first retreat, I was 6 months pregnant...aching to learn more about life than what I already knew (though of course, I thought I knew it all!). But I wanted to pass on a true legacy of LOVE to my husband, my children and to all those I came in contact with....but had no idea how best to do it! All I had, was the keen desire to be a truly AUTHENTIC, and joyful human being.

I didn't know that very first day (when I had to wake up at 5 a.m.), that it would be the day I was indeed waking up for the very first time in my life. Through the guided meditations and the INCREDIBLE teachings, my eyes were opened to a reality that I never even imagined existed; a reality that was already present within myself; a place where suddenly life wasn't a struggle, but a welcome challenge!

Behram's teachings are practical, useful, loving, life changing, and a WHOLE LOT OF FUN! I had not laughed or had that much fun in years and through this process,I gained a sense of peace, love and understanding that ~ even today ~ keeps me balanced and happy a lot more often than ever before. Even more amazing is that as time went past, after the retreats, my life started to heal itself...as if by magic. My relationships and my career fell into place, and today I feel fulfilled in a multitude of ways.

So, my message to anyone considering going on a retreat? GO! Or as the people at NIKE would say...JUST DO IT! You will find it to be one of the BEST decisions you have ever made in your life and more likely, you will start to live like you have never lived before.

Master B, I thank you, from the very bottom of my heart.

On a whim one evening in 2004, my wife and I decided to attend an introductory talk by a visiting Buddhist teacher named Behram Ghista. Five workshops, two retreats and a few years later, I am grateful for the guidance and wisdom Behram has bestowed upon me.

He has challenged me, nurtured my development and encouraged me to live with greater enthusiasm and passion for life. Most of all though, Behram and his assistant Sherry have demonstrated a standard of grace, composure and compassion in all that they do (even the littlest of things!!) that has left me truly inspired and grateful.

When I look inside I seem to be a new creation. Behram has inspired new values, new goals and new paths in me. He has opened me to new ways of thinking and of perceiving the world. Through this, I have developed new forms of behaviour that are instrumental to me becoming the person I aspire to be.

I now actively select only wholesome influences from the menu of life and as a result I find myself with new friends and associates, new opportunities and new ways of being.

While browsing through the Relaxation Centre brochure, one seminar title in particular drew my attention - Happiness is a Choice. Wow! I thought to myself. Is it really true? Do I really have a choice of being happy or vice versa? Can I actually control or influence my own happiness? I was certainly intrigued. The description of the seminar mentioned that the teacher had a wonderful sense of humour and next to this description was this picture of a guy with big loving eyes. SOLD! I thought to myself.

The course I attended was inspirational and despite different backgrounds, cultures and religions, the truth and wisdom presented by Behram was universal. Awareness is the key word I got out of this course. After this first workshop, I then attended the retreat in Byron Bay, which brought another great wave of joy and inspiration.

I have now been under Master B's guidance for the last 6 years. In those years, his support, love & wisdom have been invaluable for me in discovering my passions, purpose, my power, and my light.

I have attended many different talks/workshops/retreats with various teachers, yet no one compares to Master B. I am incredibly lucky to have found a first class teacher like Behram Ghista. He has mastered the art of delivering workshops and retreats, and gives teachings in such clear, simple and yet profound ways.

He continues to inspire me & others not only through what he has to say, but also through how he lives his own life. He is a wonderful role-model. I deeply admire his dedication to his life purpose of educating others to live a fulfilling, healthy, happy, inspirational life.

I cannot recommend him and his teaching highly enough. People who chose to meet him truly must have good karma.
