I, Sachin Gudas, Got education in native place with spiritual inclination through parents and family members through visiting Temples and praying. I have been reciting mantras since childhood and continued the same till 2011.

In 2011, on advice of my brother Savan Kumar Gudaas I started a spiritual journey in meditation by attending a 10 Day Vipassana Retreat at Dhamma Khetta, Hyderabad. Subsequently, continued practice of Vipassana Meditation and attended 3 Nos – 10 Day Vipassana Meditation Retreats at Nizamabad, Igatpuri and Hyderabad for a period from 2011 to 2019. In the course of practice, I have started learning about meditation aspects.

In 2019, my brother has Suggested for practicing TWIM as taught by Bhante Vimalaramsi having relax and smile steps, from 2019 to till date continuing practice. Got inspiration from dhamma talks of Bhante Vimalaramsi, Delson Armstrong, Ajahn Dtun and other teachings from Sangha and Dhamma friends. During practice I have noticed changes in habitual tendencies and changed the way of looking at things. TWIM practice is making happy to self and all beings. I am gratitude to all TWIM teachers, Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha and all beings.

In 2018, got married and blessed with Baby Saachi, as the baby started growing, we have known that she is having a Genetic Disease with which her health is deteriorating. Presently, she is having G Tube feeding. Due to TWIM practice, we were able to understand life’s birth and death cycles, and today we are happy even with the Baby genetic disease.
