Both of them have become disciples of Asaram and regularly practise his meditation techniques and recite slokas. James runs his construction business in England along with his father. The mother and son duo visit India frequently to attend Asarams satsang and take his blessing. According to James,he came in contact with Asaram six years ago when he went to the Kumbh Mela held in Allahabad in 2007. Somebody introduced me to him. After three months,I met him again in Haridwar. James later became Asarams disciple and started following his teachings. James knows a smattering of Hindi,but has now started learning it. After becoming a disciple,I experienced peace and happiness. He has a charismatic face and his words directly enter the heart. My life has been changed and I am totally blessed. I have hanged his photo in my house. We listen to his preachings on DVDs regularly. We have also read his spiritual literature. Asaram always talks to me and my mother in English. He had instructed us to learn Hindi. This year,my mother couldnt come due to her busy schedule. She has taken Dikshan from Asaram. We get divine power from him which helps us in the day-to-day life and even our business is also going well, James said.
