Today I was truly inspired by my partner of 26 years.
Over the past few months, I have watched while my partner and others have had to endure constant harassment on blog sites that a few disgruntled people who blame Universal Medicine for the break up of their relationships, have been writing on. They have blatantly told lies, have manipulated information to incite hatred, are constantly barraging them with insulting comments, and are now trying to ruin their professional reputations with completely unfounded allegations.
I have watched while she has been lied to by journalists to firstly obtain an interview, then be interviewed for up to an hour, to then only have one line manipulated to fit their story.
I have watched how the media have tried to threaten her with another false story to ruin her professional standing when she has objected to their behaviour.
I have watched while the media have portrayed women as being weak and unable to think for themselves, and being mindless followers of Universal Medicine’s founder Serge Benhayon, and tried to use my partner as an example of this.
I have watched the media and journalists tell lies about Serge Benhayon and his family, and label Universal Medicine and all who are associated with it a ‘cult’.
As I write I observe my partner’s reaction to everything that has happened. Even though there is a risk that her name, reputation, professional standing, family and business could be adversely affected, she does not change who she is and what she portrays to the world: she does not shy away from criticism or make herself inconspicuous, from fear of what the repercussions may be. Instead I see her stronger than ever before, more vocal in the truth of who she is, working tirelessly on her business which she now has even more passion for. I see her not be afraid of calling out what is not right with the media’s exploits and the trolling that is happening on these blog sites; and this is all done not with any anger or malice, but from the true love for humanity that she has.
So I am inspired! Inspired to be all of who I am, and not hide it away for my own self satisfaction or comfort. Inspired to call out when something is not right: for by saying nothing, I am condoning these lies or actions to be acceptable. Inspired to stand in my truth and allow the world to see this in all that I do.
The Truth about Universal Medicine 
It is inspiring when I feel and see another put themselves out there. Standing for the truth of all, and living with a purpose to give and express all that you are and know gives an abundance of joy.
Thank you for pointing out that there is no good excuse to give up on truth — opposite to when you are being attacked on truth, this should be your motivation to actually bring more and stand more steady than ever before, this is what I am learning. And the connection to myself and what I know is truth, are my building stones..
I have learned that one voice can make a difference and I can feel by you being inspired by your partner that your voice will now be heard. If one voice can, and does, make a difference then the difference many voices can make will naturally be huge.
Everything we do makes a difference and everything we do can be an inspiration to the world.
The power of understanding Sandhya, is just beautiful. It is power-full beyond measure knowing and observing that we are all love equally. If we are not love, who is controlling us? Going to the energetic truth of things exposes exactly where the source is coming from. We are conduits of energy and whatever we align to is what we will be.
The real question is what is (are) the lesson(s) learned from this disgraceful episode?
“I have watched the media and journalists tell lies about Serge Benhayon and his family, and label Universal Medicine and all who are associated with it a ‘cult’.” Yes, and it is still going on for some 6 years now.That those under attack have grown from strength to strength speaks for itself.
Inspired and inspiring Sandhya, both you and your partner. It is disgusting the lies that have been propagated yes, and yet when the truth is known with every cell of the body one is steady and clear.
You and your partner are both very inspiring Sandhya, thank you for sharing.
The element that stood out was : claiming of what you stand for. This is exactly what is needed to be heard for many of us including myself. We know so much and often have felt a deep truth. But once we come closer to those truths, and having even felt them more than once, do we stand by and with them no matter what? Are we worth claiming what we know to be truth – and can we actually share those values claimed and chosen by us with others? Yes – and better, we should!
It’s kind of like the bullies in the school playground, they pick on you because they feel intimidated by your strength so they try to bring you down by making up lies and make you feel insecure. Your partner has shown us time and time again that the lies are worthless when integrity stands solid.
It is super inspiring and it shows how, if we stand for the truth it will always support us, because what truly supports us is the truth, it is truly healthy for us in our lives. When we give in to fear for what will happen, what others might think and who will believe the lies and who not, we lessen ourselves and this will be unhealthy not only for us, but also for all others around us, because there will not be a reflection of someone standing up for the truth.
And that is how it is done. You stand for truth, no matter what, and those around you can see that. From there, the observers have a choice – they can be inspired, or they can turn away either in anger, disbelief, jealousy, etc… And it is from our own living way, that this happens. How we live our truth and speak it.
When the very thing we stand for is about true evolution, it keeps exposing the evil of comfort and our hold on security is constantly tested. And sometimes we may be encountered by a gap between what we say we live by and what we truly live by. Seeing someone like you and your partner is absolutely inspiring. Thank you for being you.
It is deeply inspiring to witness individuals standing tall and consistent in the face of abuse without “any anger or malice, but from the true love for humanity”. The force that wields such activity as lies, abuse and bullying is designed to create separation, withdrawal and giving up, yet the love with which those like you Sandhya and your partner choose to stay aligned to proves that when we connect to our true essence and the love of humanity none of this touches us, and if anything we realise what is at stake and become more clear and focused.
‘Cult’ is a sensationalised term used by those who are irresponsible in order to incite reaction in others…an immature prank to sell papers and make a name for themselves, such lack of integrity and not one drop of responsibility.
Sometimes (by choice) that which intends to lessen us makes us even more aware, focused and dedicated to stand for what we know is true; it can bring out the best in us.
The falsities creep in when we do not stand in authority of the truth we know to be and are made from in essence. Hence, lies can only come in where we have not stood in our love, truth and harmony. So whenever we face a lie we are shown that we can be more and more truth.. Endless truth is and will expand.
Nothing like observing someone who is so steady in themselves to really bring home the fact that when we know who we are, nothing can touch us. Naturally it awakens us to who we are ourselves and highlights how powerful we are when we don’t fight back, but carry on in the truth we know ourselves and others to be.
It is inspiring to observe another stand for truth, as we are so conditioned to allow and accept the world of lies as normal. As you have shared when we do stand steady for what is right and true, we call out and cut through the lies, the abuse and the corruption that in truth do not serve or rightfully represent us as a humanity or offer us a foundation that supports our true advancement.
Beautifully expressed Carola, I can feel that in exposing abuse and corruption in the world you hold people in appreciation for who they truly are.
It is so inspiring to witness someone as your partner has, stand for the truth and for the truth of who they are, especially when so many wish to engage in circulating lies for their own agenda and advancement.
I too am inspired. The more that one can hold their truth and integrity, the easier it is to do so. The inspiring thing is that this level of integrity can only be shared if it is lived in ones life.
Yes we call out lies not just for ourselves but for all others too…as innately we all deserve it.
You were so inspired that you put this into action and wrote this blog calling out the lies .. Amazing. We can all learn from this. Lies want us to curl up and shrivel with fear in the corner. It is a cowardly energy. I agree with your partner to not only live her truth but live more of her truth .. again something we can all learn from.
I love how we can empower each other to be all we are simply by the movements expressed from the bodies natural rhythm of truth and how this living way can not only inspire another but also reflect to a much wider scope of the world and shine brightly for all to feel their own power to . Once one flame is ignited then all are, that is the beauty of reflection through movements. Love is a super power and a truth that is undeniable.
Feeling such steadfastness in another particularly when they are being abused by others is deeply inspiring. We know deep within that love is more powerful than any other force and when we witness this fact being lived it deeply confirms the truth of who we are. Thank you to all those who choose to remain steadfast in love irrespective of how they are being treated by others.
It is great to see the world as it is and not think it is not that bad and the media is meaning well, what has happened is truly not ok and how you and your partner dealt with it is very inspiring. I love the fact that “this is all done not with any anger or malice, but from the true love for humanity that she has.”, this makes a real difference because if we would be angry in the way we call out what is not true we are actually just adding to the fire, so to speak. We are then contributing to the same thing we don’t agree with. Expressing in the way we want the world to be, that is with love for us all, is the way forward.
That’s exactly it isn’t it, not looking across a line and seeing where everything else is and not standing up for what you feel is the truth because no one else is standing with you. At times there are things happening all around us that need us to not turn a blind eye too. What this article describes is exactly that as some may call this just an everyday experience and that’s the point. How do we allow this to continue? I don’t mean protests in the streets or picket lines but standing firm with every point you truly feel is off course and saying no in the way you live. So when someone you know or may not even know is bullied, harassed, intimidated and the list goes on where are we with it, do we just read the story or turn a blind eye? Or do we make a stand in our own lives to see the same thing happening around us and bring the truth to it? I know articles and things like this bring more to me to see and to say no on a different level.
We are here to be our true selves, to claim back our origin, our natural divine source. Not becoming a person, or posture or attitude that is expected. Just the connection to who we are will defeat the absolute evil we have allowed – to be all that we are not.
Sandhya, this is beautiful – to stand for Truth no matter what when we know to the bone this very Truth is a testament to your partner and shows that there is not one ounce of a mindless follower here. In fact I know you partner, and if it were not for the seriousness of the allegations, this would actually be a hilarious statement – it could not be further from the truth. Your partner only ever makes a decision for herself and she does this with the grace and knowing that any decision she makes is going to affect all those around her and hence her absolute understanding of the responsibility that lies herein. This is something to be truly inspired by!
Sandy I’m very inspired by you and your partner, standing up for what you know to be true is inspiring for everyone to also stand up for truth too.
And that inspiration goes far and wide Sandhya,,. when someone has endured lies and accusations, and deliberate attempts to have their livelihood and reputation ruined, and they stand up tall to this the way your partner has, it is inspiring beyond measure. And from what I have seen and experienced, what comes back to us when we stand in the face of evil not cowering one iota, is an all-encompassing success that is underpinned by a joy that does not waiver – in essence, more, and then more and more love fills up our lives, as this is what we have claimed.
It must be terrible to be manipulated and lied to by media to get the story/the angle they want. I don’t watch/ read the mainstream news anymore as I don’t believe what I see, there are so many agendas at play. To witness this with Universal Medicine is the most stark proof, something so caring and loving so bastardised into sensational lies.
‘Inspired to call out when something is not right: for by saying nothing, I am condoning these lies or actions to be acceptable.’ Mostly when lies are uttered either we react and speak out in emotion or we say nothing not wanting to get involved any further than necessary. To be able to stay very centred and stand tall expressing the truth in a loving way without compromise is an art that most of us need practise in and the world is asking for.
Beautiful appreciation of your partner Sandhya. Expressing our appreciation especially to our loved ones as they can get left whether verbally or in writing is incredibly powerful. The appreciation doesn’t have to big but every time I express it from my body my whole being and the person I am expressing to expands… it is very beautiful.
We all see so much every day, and we feel and sense a great deal that is not caring, supportive or full of Love. We can frame it as being accepting or tolerant of others, but holding back the truth of what we feel is actually poisonous to us and harmful to others. It’s crazy how we live believing it to be the other way around. When you consider how good it feels to get what you feel ‘off your chest’ and then see how much that goes on in our world we don’t speak up about, well no wonder our health and well-being is not that great. Thank you Sandhya for inspiring me to share what I feel, lovingly.
Very spot on Brendan, because adults receive constant abuse from the internet too and its a shame because many of us don’t even talk about it, it’s swept under the rug, ignored and left for another to deal with.
When we know truth, when we can feel it, nothing one says/ does can change or challenge that.
Thank you Sandhya, you and your partner are very inspiring. We as a society have allowed the bullying minority to get away with an enormous amount of lies and harm for far too long such that often we have even lost touch with the truth. The only way out of this disgraceful situation is for each of us to stand up for love and truth as you have described, for nothing is of greater value.
My deepest respect for everyone who stands tall in the face of injustice, lies, ridicule, threat… in short, everything that is not honouring truth and behaving loveless to a fellow brother. It is such people that show us that we all can do it.
Sandhya this is a beautiful blog expressing your deep appreciation for your partner and all that she brings to this world – I absolutely agree with all you share here as I have also known your partner for many years and am always inspired and delighted as well by their amazingness and their choice to be who they truly are.
I am inspired by both you and your partner Sandhya! Thank you for sharing.
Spot on Kathleen – to hear what Sandhya has shared is super inspiring, and knowing too that behind every powerhouse of a person, lies another powerhouse of a person to support as a team!
This is an incredible account of events Sandhya and also very inspiring. The way you support your partner by simply being open to what she chooses is very beautiful.
Thank you Sandhya, and I am inspired by all you have shared. When we consistently stand up for what we know is the truth then the truth will be known by all.
You can very practically feel your partners steadiness in your description, despite the onslaught, and how that has inspired you and I am sure many others. To show them that being that steady is not only possible, but what a positive effect it has on everything… super cool.
It is hard to be under attack. If we add being under attack for something false, this is even worse. It may lead to all kinds of reactions. Yet, when you know that what is being attacked is something true that you hold dearly in your heart by people who are bothered by that truth because they do not wish to choose for themselves, things change. You understand the game and simply carry on.
Beautifully said Eduardo. If we observe the energy that is directed at us without takeing it personally we get to see the bigger picture and there is no room for reactions.
Sandhya I have to tell you that I am also inspired about your partner and about you – thank you so much for not holding back as with that you show the world that speaking up without reaction is something very needed to stopp such supremacy energy.
There is so much love when one speaks up without reaction but from pure love, in the past I have been pulled up about being judgemental with so much love that I can barely put it in words. That was so healing and it helped me to really feel how bad that judgement was, to drop it and move on.
Thank you Sandhya for a truly inspiring blog, standing for truth in the face of all the lies and manipulation of truth takes so much strength and commitment on your partners part and an amazing reflection for you and us. I have started to step up and call things out that I feel are not truth, with no attachment, even if it does rock the boat at times.
Holding our connection to who we are and expressing the truth of this knowing is an offer of deep responsibility and the reflection held in that is truly inspiring indeed. Thank you Sandhya.
It is in our standing for truth and love, through the way we live our lives and in every situation we are met with, that we will return to humanity the real foundations that support us to live in harmony, in true Brotherhood, as is our natural way of being. Thank you Sandhya, for sharing how it is through voicing what is not right in our lives that allows us to live the truth of who we are, all of us, and as such deepens and strengthens our connection to the truth and love that we rightly deserve to live.
Inspirational Sandhya. The more that we speak up and even if we discover what we were living was a lie, the more we will uncover and unravel truth because at the end of the day this is what we are all looking for.
Calling out truth has such an impact on the body which I have not truly appreciated and understood until recently. Even calling out something that may seem petty to most makes a difference to how I am feeling so I am learning to not let things slip by and call things out even though others get uncomfortable and react… constant learning, expansion and unfolding.
Yes, learning to observe, not swim in the sea and not get wet, is making more and more sense – as i become more aware of the energies outplaying and surrounding, trying to get us sucked in to perpetuating more of the same, awareness and observation is the key to not enjoining but rather remain untouched and holding one’s true self no matter what is swirling around us.
When we hold love as our one and only truth in life, nothing can stop us from expressing this, whatever does come in our ways. As that is what will happen when we return to love, the lovelessness in the world will be exposed and then people can either choose for love or to hold onto their lovelessness which at times will expose itself in attacking those who bring love back to us again.
This is a beautiful example of how the Law of Reflection works and the responsibility we each have in reflecting the truth of who we are and not the sold-out version of ourselves that has forsaken such truth for the sake of a comfortable life of not rocking the boat. For what point is there to a boat that doesn’t rock if it holds its crew captive in a sea of illusion? What if there were enough of us to rock the boat, so to speak and once we were all dunked into the ocean we would then find a way to swim in it without getting wet? That is, together we find that there is a way to live life where we do not get soaked by the reactions and emotions of others. That we can hold steady by remaining connected with ourselves and thus weather the storm that surrounds us. This has been the most important esoteric teaching for me – to observe life and not absorb it – to ‘swim like a fish in the sea but not get wet’. And when we see another live like this it calls back home to a way of living we have long departed from. This is how we help each other arise out of the love-less way of living we have all become so incarcerated in for so long.
Very true Liane – gorgeously said. Every single one of us walking this earth is a mighty and powerful being. However, our power is only realised, maximised and lived when we surrender to expressing the truth of who we are. As such the more we stand up for, voice and express truth, we naturally arrest what is not true, magnifying the truth of who we are through our bodies and reflecting a way of being that represents us all. This marker in our bodies is our strength and our ever-true navigation through the sea of illusion of which you speak. And as you say – ‘This is how we help each other arise out of the love-less way of living we have all become so incarcerated in for so long.’ – such is our responsibility here.
I love how you say you have watched, as it shows how when we truly observe we can see the truth and feel our truth and thus are igniting our own inner wisdom and are encouraged to speak it more.
When you stand up for truth against the lies and falsehoods that exist in the world today there will always be misrepresentations and lies aimed to destabilize and undermine you and put you off balance, for the origin of these untruths does not want to be exposed.
In a world where lies and deceit attempt domination through control and manipulation it is beautiful to read how standing up for love and truth holds true power and inspires us all to express the love that we always are.
What is so beautiful here is the way your partner is standing up for truth, saying no to lies and false accusations, not out of reaction, but …. ‘this is all done not with any anger or malice, but from the true love for humanity that she has’ ….. saying NO with love is very powerful, it is deeply felt and inspires others to do the same.
When people are deeply hurt, they often lash out and look for someone else to blame, like a wounded animal, rather than looking at what part they have played in the situation. To then choose to take responsibility for this brings a deep healing, arresting that pattern of ill behaviour, so we don’t make the same mistake again.
I too have watched many stand up for truth in the face of the lies that have been spread with this hate Champaign targeted at Universal Medicine. I see how it’s either exposed the silence we have said yes to or awaken the inner love and strength to stand for what we know is true.
“Inspired to call out when something is not right: for by saying nothing, I am condoning these lies or actions to be acceptable.” – We do not always realise that our silence can feed the very evil we can see around us! Thus, how important is it for us to speak up when we know something is not right, not true.
I have a friend who tirelessly speaks the truth and she inspires me everyday to not keep quiet, to speak the truth and not hold back in the world. Isn’t it incredible how inspiration works? And how like flames we can light each others matches.
Sandhya, your words convey a very potent wisdom, that we can either become unsteady by what occurs around us and lose our connection to ourselves (the true cause of misery), or we can know who we are, hold steady, and remain committed to ourselves and all we know to be the truth.
Beautifully said Melinda – we have a choice at all times, and though it is not always easy to do so, the choice to remain steady and committed to the truth as you have said, is something that is there to support us back in ways we would never have imagined.
It must be one the hardest things to watch as someone you care about has things said about them that is not true and then be investigated, whether it be by media or someone else. No doubt you would be inspiring each other. She has obviously inspired you in how she has dealt with and moved through this and how she has held herself throughout. But I’d also say that you have inspired her. Her capacity to stand tall and not cower in the face of these personal attacks is also because of the support you give her and her knowing that you have her back. I call that a true relationship, in which no matter what is thrown at you, you stand together and support each other. I’m inspired by both of you.
If such criticism was born out of a will understand, that would be one thing, but when it is done from intolerance and bigotry, then that is unacceptable.
It is inherent within us all to stand true and to express this truth no matter what – humanity needs us to for many have accepted a false reality and need a reminder of the true alternative.
To compromise on myself is to invite disharmony and tension into my body. This understanding is constantly deepening and learning each day ways where I compromise, but have not seen as such before, is a journey of self discovery. When I read this blog I feel supported in my choice to no longer hold back all that I know myself to be. There is no support for humanity in a person who compromises on their values and integrity.
You are both incredibly inspiring, offering others another way to deal with lies and slanderous stories that are written to take a person down.
It is beautiful to acknowledge how we can be inspired by someone, it is the strength from that we are all innately together. Allowing ourselves to feel that we can learn from each other is gold. I can sometimes feel how I can be very individualistic, and don’t want to be inspired, coming from a denial of this interconnectedness.
We are being played with when we choose comfort and not stand up to that what is not right in this world. Choosing to stand up doesn’t always feel comfortable and known but it is far better than to see what’s going on, and keep our mouths shut.
When we are connected to the truth that lives within we know that this is the way to go as it is bringing love in everything we do and know that this is the natural purpose of our lives. Of course when we present from love the truth that it brings will upset the ones who are heavily invested in the self created identities that are not from love but for self gain instead.
The journalists in this case have taken what has been said and reinterpreted it, or twisted it to suit their angle – something of that ilk. They have not been out to find the truth and reflect that back to their readership. What I am considering this morning is that this ‘tactic’ is a reflection for us all of the way we live our lives. We take what is true and reinterpret it so it is convenient or more comfortable for us, so we can justify our way of living, our choices etc. I am in no way justifying what journalists do but considering why we need this reflection? Do we need to clean up our own back yards first?
Your partner’s response to the attack by the Media is deeply inspiring, instead of curling up in a ball and reacting your partner has held her head high and gone from strength to strength and stood by the truth in an exemplary way. Not many people could withstand this sort of treatment so what you have both been through and how you have both remained committed and steady is inspiring and supportive for us all.
Thank you Sandy – knowing what you two have gone through and how beautifully you have handled the most vile attacks on you personally, on your family, on your business and on your lived and loved choices in life…has been endlessly inspiring for everyone who knows you. You have together stood your ground – for your partner may have been prepared to stand alone, but you were there to back them fully – and this is to be celebrated and appreciated too! Thank you for sharing your appreciation and also for knowing how to lead the way by standing true to…The Truth.
Thank you Sandhya for a powerfully inspiring blog, and what an amazing reflection your partner has given to you to stand for the truth no matter what.
Sandhya, the reflection your partner has brought to you, she is bringing to the world and how beautiful that Humanity have this to observe. When we are faced with attacks that challenge who we are we have a choice – to fold and hide which allows the aggressor to feel rewarded by their deceitful behavior and lies or we can stand tall on the true foundation of truth and grow stronger. This is absolutely inspirational – both of you. Thank you so much for sharing.
As soon as you sell out who you are what principles can you stand by?
Wise words Luke – when we sell out, something else owns us and this something else is guaranteed to use you and then drop you like a ton of bricks when they are done with you. In the process you get hurt and who knows how many others get hurt too…Not worth it. Nothing can be worth more than our connection to soul and the love that we have access to from there. Sandy has certainly shown how no matter what happens around us, we have the choice to stand by our soul.
Who knows what it is to live love and the steadiness, instant knowing and self-assurance that this brings, want to sell out to a life of being in doubt, insecurity and a constant fear of life?
Thanks for adding Nico, highlighting that selling out can be easily achieved with subtle practices.
Sandhya, this is beautiful, your wife is truly inspiring, ‘I see her stronger than ever before, more vocal in the truth of who she is, working tirelessly on her business which she now has even more passion for. I see her not be afraid of calling out what is not right with the media’s exploits’, thank you for sharing this.
Thank you. Only yesterday I told someone that they need not protect me by speaking out the truth but in reading this I can see how it actually is very important for us to support each other and expose any lies that are being circulated.
When we see this type of sustained persecution to our family and loved ones, it really brings home the level of abuse that is rampant all throughout society, in all media, and that so many people endure on a daily basis. It is truly inspiring to read what you share Sandhya, and inspiring to speak up so that this momentum of abuse is exposed so that people will no longer be under its sway and those who are the targets of such abuse be given the support to stop such evil in its tracks.
I am inspired to see how much you appreciate your partner in what she is doing and in all she is and brings. This is so rare in modern relationships and it is so refreshing to feel that you do not take each others love for granted.
What you share here is indeed deeply inspiring, letting go of the fear and speak up. Not watering ourselves down is what will bring the truth back into this world of corruption.
Now that’s how to take on bullying…. Live it up, claim yourself even more and show others the power of not shying away from life.
Yes, your partner is very inspiring in her willingness to speak her truth.
Thank God for people like Rachel who don’t play chameleon when others want to bring them down for their own agendas.
Thank you for expressing and supporting truth.
How many of us feel inspired to be more by our partners? My past experience of relationships was based on ‘what can you do for me, how can you fit into my box’ with an arrogance that I never need to change. Universal Medicine has since changed all of that for me whereby relationships are a great way of learning about ourselves and others and learning how to grow from anothers reflection.
Awesome to read this account of what you have witnessed with your wife’s choices to continue to live in her way and not be adversely affected within herself is a real testament to the inspiration we have been exposed to in the way that Serge Benhayon lives and seeing others live this too is very inspiring.
Wow I am totally inspired by the both of you. The fact that people can get away with this kind of abuse is disgusting, I fully appreciate your partner standing strong for when she does she is saying no to this harm and no to this abuse. We see now daily so many people affected by cyber abuse. We can not allow this modern day witch hunt anymore.
Sandhya, that is awesome. The more we stand up for the truth and call out what is not truth the stronger we become within ourselves – why? because we are honouring what our bodies are feeling. It makes perfect sense yet can at times be so easy to think otherwise. Truth is what will change the world and the way humanity is going, saying nothing or letting things happen and turning a blind eye – confirms it is ok the way it is.
The day we stop speaking up is the day we fall into a deep slumber while the world is changed around us by the few.
When we wake to the horrible state of the world we will have no where else to look but within. Because the many who don’t speak contribute equally to those whom supposedly actively shape our world.
Inspiration is a beautiful thing. Someone who stands so solidly for Truth no matter what comes their way is indeed a great source of inspiration. It may bring up our own stuff of all the times we have not done the same, but if we can get that out of the way, the inspiration on offer is endless.
Very inspiring Sandhya to read of your partner and how she faced such persecution yet stood strong in the truth. We don’t realise that the worst affects from such abuse is to step away from ourselves and the inner truth we carry, this perhaps devastates us even more than the abuse itself.
The greatest inspiration in the world is expressed from the bodies’ true wisdom. Thank you for sharing yours Sandhya, because when we share the truth expressed from our body it has a ripple affect in all facets of our lives.
It is easy to throw stones from afar, much harder to walk upon them.
This is a very powerful reflection that both you and your partner share with us all. My partner is a source of inspiration as he is absolutely committed to living truth in all aspects of his life, I followed his lead because I could feel all that he was claiming for himself and I know he was deeply inspired by others so the power of reflection is huge.
When what we say is manipulated by another (particularly if broadcasted far and wide by the media) there is always the choice to simply give up on expressing that truth but if we all do that the system will never change and any lies or bias will never be exposed nor corrected.
Wow, this is inspiration for us all. Thank you Sandhya.
Its interesting that in spite of the original intent of the cyber trolls that have started this war of attrition (to destroy Universal Medicine and anyone associated with it), it has done precisely the opposite… asking the many people who have been inspired by the work to step up, and then inspiring us all further to see those people step. Its a strange law of unintended consequences that I now find myself more committed, and feel a deeper sense of gratitude for what has been presented than ever before.
To not change who you are, or shy away from criticism or make yourself small in fear of the repercussions of standing or speaking out, is not only admirable and inspirational but how we all should live permanently. People can say whatever they choose to but they can never take that away from us.
We need to appreciate and hence inspire each other more in society. It is what will make this world a more loving place to live in. We shut these down because of comparison and jealousy and lack of confirmation from others.
I feel very inspired by your inspiration right now Sandy – ‘ Inspired to be all of who I am, and not hide it away for my own self satisfaction or comfort.’ Exactly! Why else do we hide away and let the world and ourselves get away with abuse? Comfort is certainly a huge culprit that is allowing the world to sit in fifth when a big spring clean is in order.
This is beautiful to read, and see the inspiration we can be for eachother. It is amazing to see so many people that have been harassed by a couple of cyber abusers, are standing strong and not giving in. Very inspiring in seeing that there is nothing that in truth can waver us, and to claim the light and love that we are. It is in truth not worth it to hold back and be silent, as it is only abusing ourself to not act on things that we know are not right.
As you say Nicola, the spreading of these lies has been unrelenting, to the point of pure ridiculousness – (if they weren’t such serious and harmful allegations, it would otherwise be laughable) – even more so exposed in consideration that every single lie has been addressed in full and in truth. These blogs and comments are the living testament to a lived truth, an expression of truth, and a non wavering commitment to standing up for this truth.
Indeed, Brendan, those inspiring reflections are so much needed in this world that is in need for a change, a change to return to a life of truth. And only by that inspiring refection we will be able to find that inner spark in ourselves again.
When we stand up for the truth Sandy, is that not alway appreciated by some people as they will be exposed for the falseness they are living and have invested in with whole their being and from there they will fight this truth with any means they feel they may use, will it be trolling, harassment or bringing blatantly lies into the world. But we just have to observe it for what it is, it actual is a battle of energies, the energy of love, in its fiery strength with open visor agains the energy of creation that tries to protect its self created lie by any means, with tooth and nail.
“Inspired to call out when something is not right: for by saying nothing, I am condoning these lies or actions to be acceptable. Inspired to stand in my truth and allow the world to see this in all that I do.” Yes, for when we say and do nothing it is as if we are condoning the behaviour.
Sandhya, it is very inspiring to read your blog, what stands out for me is that you are, ‘Inspired to call out when something is not right: for by saying nothing, I am condoning these lies or actions to be acceptable’, more and more I am calling things out that do not feel true, otherwise like you say we are saying things are acceptable as they are. I can feel that we live in a culture where we do not want to speak out for fear of what may happen to us and so things that need to change do not, I am learning that I can be the one to speak out, that I do not need to wait for someone else to do it.
The world will change when the average Jo speaks up and demands the wrongs to be righted. 😉
This blog was written over 3 years ago and since this time I have been witness to watching both you and your partner grow enormously and inspire and support many students to not hold back from expressing truth in our lives everyday. Thank you Sandhya you and your partner shine very bright.
Thank you Sandhya for sharing this, should anyone ever have thoughts or fears, worries or doubts coming towards them about stepping up and expressing this is a great reminder that standing by the truth actually is not a vulnerable place to be where one is alone but, can actually see us grow stronger and support others to do them same.
Yes Leigh, it is beautiful to see the strength that these two have in the face of such relentless nonsense. It is very inspiring. I love also your unwavering support Sandhya.
Thank you Sandhya for expressing your love and appreciation of truth and being inspired to speak up for what you know is true so that others can also be inspired to not hold back from expressing truth. The lies and evil intent are mere shadows in the dark in the face of light, love and integrity.
Sandhya, I love how through observing the commitment of your wife not to change in the face of adversity that you have been inspired to be all that you are. This blog is lovely to read again as I can feel the strength that has grown between both of you as you both commit to standing up for truth.
Standing up and speaking out in the name of truth is the only way that eventually the cyber abuse and the media’s failure to report the truth will cease. No matter how long it takes the truth will always be what will be known in the end and there are so many Universal Medicine students who are willing to speak up and state the true facts the way it truly is. Thank-you Sandya for your inspiring blog, for it is another opportunity the public are being given to know what is really going on by the media and those few cyber-bullies.
Sandhya I have witnessed over the last three years, both of you go from strength to strength. It seems the lies and hate speech have only served to make you more solid, more loving, more committed to truth, more engaged with life and with people than ever. It is hugely inspiring to watch the both of you grow in wisdom and confirm the greatness of your service in every day. Thank you from all of my heart.
When we live the love that we are, there is no need or want to apologise because others choose to live otherwise. 3 years on from the onslaught of these attacks and the Universal Medicine students that have been abused are still standing strong. Evil may be relentless but it is no match for the consistency of love lived.
Well said Liane. The ‘consistency of love lived’ is a solid beacon of truth that cannot be touched by the putrid, toady lies of the abusers of Universal Medicine and members of its Student Body.
Yes Liane and it’s no match for truth. It is like evil wriggles and squirms in the face of truth because where can you go from that? Truth is the truth and that’s a fact.
Truth is the fire that burns steadily within and we are the match that ignites it to be once more. In the glow of this flame, All is revealed.
To watch another stand strong in the face of abuse is to know the force of love, a strength like no other on this planet. For how else can one weather the storm without succumbing to such a tsunami of abuse, if they do not stand on a solid foundation? I love your words Sandhya, so powerful, so simple, so true. To watch all this is to be inspired to live it also, and you do.
Sandhya, both you and your partner are some of the most amazing people I know, and this is largely to do with how I know you both to stand by the truth no matter what. The inspirations that come from you both are endless and I treasure every moment with your family as I get to feel this through every bone in my body. True inspirations feel like they shake the body up a bit, freeing it of any constraints that were there and then allowing the lightness of being, the full expansion to take place. This is very subtle of course in how it happens, but in my experience it is when we embrace the process, then its course is the smoothest. This is a great gift to offer us – the gift of being in your presence and because of your choices to stand by truth, we get offered the choice to stand by truth too.
A very important question you raise here Brendan. And an invitation for me to check how much I still hold back. Every choice of myself affects me and other people, even when I don’t speak up. It is so important to feel what is true and to express it.
Sandhya, it is admirable that your partner was able to stand in her truth even though she was being attacked by the media and cyber bullies. What an inspiration for us all not to cower away from bullies but to stand firm in the truth and love we know.
It is deeply touching to witness how people hold together and support each other here at Universal Medicine. And they do so not exclusively, but all-encompassingly.
Sandhya, it’s when we stay silent in the face of lies that they proliferate, so kudos to both you and your partner for standing up for truth. And your story shows how one person standing up for truth inspires another.
Yes, we can tell ourselves being the bystander is OK, we do not want to get involved etc., but standing by and allowing abuse is the same as the abuse itself.
Yes it is Fiona, but the majority of us do not actively live that as individuals just yet – we still want to be able to step aside or stand back when it suits us, or maybe when it’s too close to the bone for us, rather than call out abuse no matter what. It’s great to hear stories such as Sandhya’s as they show that it’s possible, and very ordinary actually and that to do otherwise, to allow abuse to continue without standing up is indeed abuse.
A very admirable and ethical stance you have taken in speaking up for truth, well done Sandhya
The effects of cyberbullying are far greater than the individual that is targeted. Your support for your partner and your ability to appreciate all that she brings in the face of such a personal attack is truly inspiring.
Said with a very beautiful understanding of life, you are so correct cyber bullying never effects just the individual targeted but everyone around them. It feels like your partner was also super blessed to have you standing beside her too.
Thank you Sandya, it is truly inspiring to read another example of the beauty, honesty and unwavering commitment to truth which flourishes in the face of the ugliness of lies and abuse that has been directed at your partner and so many others associated with Universal Medicine.
I have watched and Now Inspired – Sandhya
Awesome Sandhya, I feel your strength and commitment through this blog. I love how living our truth can inspire others to live their truth for themselves, so simple and yet so powerful.
Thank you for sharing your inspiration with the world, Sandhya, and thus bringing more inspiration to us all.
Sandhya your partner’s willingness to stand for truth in the face of such significant threats is indeed inspiring.
It would be so easy to hide away when you have been under such vile attack, yet here you, Sandhya and your partner and many other great people who have been falsely maligned are, and you power away true to yourselves and standing tall. You are all truly inspirational.
Sandhya this is an inspiration for me too: You going for the appreciation and support for your partner, and your partner, who is standing so strong in and for her truth, to not allow anything to let her feel or act small and staying in love. You are both world-changer and an inspiration. For today this seems a theme for me, as this morning I have already talked about the challenge to not back away in the face of a potential attack – just assuming that it could happen, without a concrete case, but now I realize that it is important to make no difference, just assuming it or having it. It is always about keep staying upright and open too – wow, I really want to learn it every day.
Sandhya and I would add to this, the love you have been with your partner whilst and during this media attack of vengeance, and to be but inspired by your partner, and not walk away, is equally inspiring. From being inspired, to being the inspirer. The magic of inspiration.
Wow , this is a true love letter!!!
Powerfull blog Sandy. Your love for your partner, yourself and humanity is palpable in your writing. And the power of realizing how big the effect is of not speaking your truth. That is no option anymore, no matter what they write or say about you and us.
People like your partner, Sandy, are an inspiration to us all for standing up and calling what is not true. As you say, if we do not speak out we are condoning the lies.
Thank you for sharing that even in the face of appalling attacks laced with lies and manipulative agendas, there are those prepared to unwaveringly stand gracefully in their power, call out the lies, speak the truth and show everyone how to not hold back the love they have for all regardless. Amazing.
Thank you for not holding back and expressing in full in your writing. It shows it is possible for everyone to do this too in all areas of how we live.
Sandhya such true support and commitment shared for your partner in this blog. Thank you for not holding back your love.
Reading your Blog Sandhya I see the many areas of my life where I am holding back the truth and my expression, being afraid of the repercussions. I now feel inspired to step out more and to stop shying away from what I need to do, thank you.
This blog is inspiring to me too Sandy. The way your partner was unwavering in living her truth while the assault where ongoing and how she has strengthened her connection with the truth in this process is so tangible described that I can feel the inspiration this gives in my whole being, like a wake up to all the particles I consist of, responding to the call to stand for and to express the truth in everything that I will do.
You too are an inspiration Sandhya – to not hold back from expressing truth my body feels amazing. For those who decide to express untruths (lies), I feel their bodies will hold onto and reveal the truth of what is going on too.
An inspiring blog Sandhya. We all have to stand up for truth and share in calling out the malicious bullying wherever we see it. It is because for so long so many of us have kept quiet in an attempt to keep out of the firing line that others have become more and more forceful in spreading lies and getting away with it.
Powerful blog Sandhya, I am also inspired by you and your partner. You have expressed truth with such power and absoluteness that delivers a strong message to all of us to stand up and voice the truth. I have read some atrocious and outrageous lies written about Serge Benhayon, his family and people associated with Universal Medicine. This kind of behaviour is completely not acceptable. I have learnt, by speaking up, we are saying ‘NO!’ to this behaviour. By choosing to stay silent and feeling too fearful to speak up, we are ultimately feeding into that same yucky energy which drives the offenders. Your blog is inspiring me to always speak up and voice the truth, Thank You Sandhya.
Your observations of what has happened is very powerful. Standing together is easy when the truth of what is happening is known. Thankyou Sandhya
This is awesome Sandhya, to be faced with enormous scrutiny and have your partner used and denegrated by the media is not easy, but by her standing up for who she is and what she stands for she is an inspiration not only to you but to all men and women. For too long we have backed down to bullying, and the media and on-line trolls have perpetuated this by constantly writing lies, fear mongering and inciting social panic. There are many many stories that need to be told truthfully in the media, the true state of our health system for example, but when a health professional who is doing a remarkable job in her field is slandered relentlessly, it shows how far away we are from reporting truth – the media isn’t even able to see it, let alone feel it.
Sandhya, your love and support for your partner is palpable – and the inspiration is infectious! I can feel how important it it to stand up for the truth and never back down, and from this comes such an immense appreciation for the inner strength that always stands by supporting us at those times we need it the most. And to feel your partner’s commitment and passion to her work being doubled brings much joy and inspiration to me – knowing that there is so much more for us to bring to all we are with and all that we do. Thank you!
Great comment Henrietta, I love what you’ve shared. Also very inspiring too. I agree and feel the same as you.
Henrietta that really is a great comment, I went to write my own comment but I had to come back up and second your words here as you have summed up the inspiration and infectiousness I also feel from this beautiful piece of writing. To quote your previous comment without seeming like your comment stalker, ‘Hats off to you’ love your input what you share is always from the heart.
In a world where this behaviour would often and does cause people to crumble under the force of such attacks, to see people such as Serge Benhayon and organisations like Universal Medicine not only carry on but grow in strength is inspiring. Lies are not pretty, in fact they are downright vile and abhorrent but they mean very little when compared to true love and how we can feel that quality within ourselves.
Nothing is more inspiring for me than people who stand up for truth. Every cell of me rejoices in the light of your courage and natural expression of love. Thank you for laying this foundation for us and so many more to come.
‘Inspired to stand in my truth and allow the world to see this in all that I do.’ I too am inspired by your writing of your inspiration Sandyha.
The vile actions of a few detractors have indeed inspired the many thousands to no longer be silent and allow the lies and the bullying behaviour to occur any where unchallenged.
Very true Andrew. From what I have seen and witnessed, I too am deeply inspired to not just let bullying behaviours of any kind become acceptable or tolerated with silence or pretending it doesn’t exist because I am not currently experiencing this personally. When I witness it, it means that I am affected in someway or another. How I choose to deal with it can add to that way of behaviour or help put a stop to it. I am inspired to speak truth consistently and to share this with humanity.
Your inspiration inspires me also thank you Sandhya. There is nothing comfortable of sitting back in silence when the truth remains to be called.
Wow, a blog full of strength and power Sandhya, a proof of the amazing love you hold for yourself, your partner and definitely for humanity. Thank you for standing for your truth, very inspiring to read.
It is always inspiring to me when some one speaks truth, even more so when they risk repercussions if it is an uncomfortable topic. It’s the kind of thing that always happens in movies, the unlikely hero or the bullied kid who makes a stand etc, but it needs to become an every day, normal way of expressing for us all to face the ugly issues that are rife in our world today.
Of the many changes I know have happened for me from listening to the presentations of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is that I also grow ever stronger in living my own truth, being able to speak up when things need to be said, and wanting to be a contributing member of society. It feels good, and seems get stronger all the time.
Your commitment to truth and love for humanity is so evident in this beautiful blog Sandhya. What a power couple.
I am inspired by both of you Sandhya. Your partner, for her courage to hold to truth against such nonsense and you for the steadfast love in which you hold your partner.
Sandhya, what a solid team you make with your partner for the world to see another way. Your being inspired to not hide and keep what you have to yourself for your own satisfaction and comfort is inspiring and apt for me. Thank you.
Thank you Sandhya for sharing how you have been inspired by your partner’s love for humanity to stand up for truth and not hold back whatever the cost and how this has inspired you to be all of who you are and to stand in your truth. A truly amazing partnership that has obviously grown stronger in adversity.
Absolutely Andrew ‘we need people again to stand up for truth rather than self gain’ and Rachel is a shining example of this and it is so inspiring to read Sandhya’s appreciation of her partner’s response to the despicable media attacks and how this has inspired her to stand in her truth as well.
I love your observation of your wife going true all of what you mention without any resentment, This is a true inspiration to follow, and grow in together.
The attacks form the cyberbullies are relentless this was originally written in 2012 and here were are in 2015 still dealing with their lies and hatred. But bigger so much bigger than their dysfunction and manipulation is the commitment that you two have to love – for each other but equally for everyone you come in contact with and that in face of this, neither of you backed down but knew that all of humanity was to be supported if you stayed true to yourselves and each other. Thank you.
Inspiration to live all that you are simply comes from viewing another claim their way to live, to be them.
Sandhya, I am totally inspired – by what you share about your partner’s choice, and your powerful declaration of your commitment to the Truth. I can only say “me, too” to everything you say here. Thank you for expressing them here.
I am also inspired Sandhya; after seeing all the accusations, intimidation and lies your partner and others have stood their ground and increased their commitment to bringing truth to a world full of lies. That is truly inspiring.
She sounds very inspiring indeed. You say ‘So I am inspired! Inspired to be all of who I am, and not hide it away for my own self satisfaction or comfort.’ This is what I am feeling at the moment that is the staying in my own self satisfaction and comfort. What I am learning more and more is we cannot stand up for truth in one area of our lives but sit down and do nothing about it in another. It is to be consistent, dedicated and on it every day all the way and it is up to us individually so to do.
Sandhya, the love, respect and appreciation you have for your partner and how she has handled a very difficult situation gives me a real boost and leads me to feel my own strength to speak out and not hide in comfort, just as you, your partner and other have/are doing. Thank you.
Thank you Sandhya for sharing the difficult path you and your partner are living and yet standing strong and loving in your truth.
It is so awesome to turn this abuse and malice (from a certain disgruntled few) into power and motivation to stand stronger in who you are and what you feel; rather then crumble and go into defeat as they want us you to do. Your relationship sure does stand testament to this beautiful courage.
‘Inspired to stand in my truth and allow the world to see this in all that I do.’
Your inspiration is infectious Sandhya, thank you for sharing.
Beautiful blog Sandhya. Your unwavering support for your partner is obvious and would without doubt help nourish and fuel her strength against the adversity and challenge to her personal and professional reputation from the trolling and the medias misrepresentation she has been subject to. Relationships based on such truth and love are not only something to appreciate just for yourselves but to also inspire others to co-create the same joy and harmony with others in their own lives.
And so I am inspired, inspired by the love and appreciation Sandhya has for his partner and his partner’s commitment to truth and love.
And you in turn have inspired me, Sandhya. I do not know you or your partner but I feel the truth in every word you have written and I am learning that only truth can stand tall and continue to stand tall. Truth to me leaves a clean, clear, sweet smelling imprint and does so in a spherical way every time we come across it. As you have been inspired, so too do you and your partner inspire me to ‘…..stand in my truth and allow the world to see this in all that I do.’
Sandhya your words are very inspiring – they are an invitation to us to not to hold back and that is wunderbar.
Thank you for your inspiring voice Sandhya. To stand in truth for all that is true is a stand that unites all, as that we all are united in truth.
Sandhya, I am deeply inspired by this blog and all I know of what your family have had to deal with in regards to the unfounded hate and smear campaign that (to this day) targets Universal Medicine and so very many people associated with the organisation.
Your partner has been exemplary, and today her voice rings out with even greater clarity and truth than it ever did. She has been rock solid in voicing the truth, and gone from strength to strength in the face of the ugliest barrage of lies and repeated attempts to smear her reputation, both that of her character and her business – all at the hands of (now fully outed) internet trolls and cyber-bullies, and those journalists who have fed upon a falsely created furore (at the hands of these trolls), and actually printed lies as fact, at times fuelling further false sensationalism. All for want of the ‘headline’ (no matter that such a headline has already firmly secured its place in the gutter).
Yet what inspires me so deeply also, in every word of your blog Sandhya, is your own steadfastness in what is true. When such abuse comes towards someone we love, someone close in our lives, it is not only that person who is abused. You and your family have been through all of this, you have all been abused… That you have been nothing but inspired by the amazing response of your partner stands testament to the power of the relationship you have, and the foundational commitment to what is true that holds your whole family together.
Hats off Sandhya – what I’m sharing here, is that I could equally write this blog about you dear lady. Thank-you.
I could not agree more, Victoria – Sandhya I too say ‘hats off’ to you and your whole family!
Thank you Sandhya for your blog and for sharing how you have observed your partner standing up to bullying behaviour in her love for humanity and how that has inspired you to also stand in that love.
That’s incredible Sandhya. What you have portrayed is very inspiring indeed. It’s lovely to read about how you view your partner and great that two people are able to recognise that and build off of each other.
That’s the way relationships should be
I love the inspiration you share here Sandhya, the steadfastness of your partner to stand strong in her truth and not let the media or anyone else influence the way in which she lives. As you say for others to stand by and say nothing we too are condoning the lies that are told. I am also inspired to live my truth without fear or shame, allowing the world to see me for who I am in full.
Sandhya I am inspired by your love, respect and appreciation for your partner. Your relationship is a truly beautiful one. Such strength and power. No amount of exterior noise can infiltrate that.
Thank you for sharing your observations of your partner standing up for truth Sandhya. Most people would like to stand up for truth but often fall short when it comes to the crunch. It is inspirational to see your observations of your partner.
Beautiful testimony Sandhya to what the building of true love and integrity can bring to a person’s life and those around them. I am reminded once again of the beauty of working hard and standing strong in who I am and not hold back.
I am always inspired when people ‘stand up’ for the truth given all the challenges that they are faced with. Thank you for sharing your inspiration Sandhya, as I too share it with you.
It’s not often Ive heard partners truly being inspired after 26 yrs together. It seems a given that you think you know the person inside out, goes to show it can happen anytime anywhere.
Well said Sandhya, I feel this is what relationships are all about: to be inspired by each other to grow in areas the other may have more experience. And you, with this blog have inspired me too to stand strong with my love and truth thank you Sandhya.
Thanks Sandhya for sharing your own path with this. There is only one way to stay true to yourself and to also have an understanding of why others can be so brutal and dishonest with what they do and say – and that is to have embodied love in such a way that it cannot be damaged, broken, dented or even bruised. In other words, your partner is so much more than what is being hurled at her, and it is beautiful that you can see this in her and share it with us.
This is a great blog Sandhya, I am inspired by you and also your wife.
Inspired to stand up for truth and to not tacitly approve of lies and manipulation by idly standing by.
Thank you for your expression and wisdom.
The power of reflection is huge and we only need to open up to seeing the reflections that each of us bring to others.
The power to not shy away is immense and if people who tell the lies would know, what effect it has- becoming even more powerful and dedicated, they probably wouln´t lie anymore 😀 so difficult it is, when you are bullied, it is a great opportunity to grow in your own truth and power.
Sandhya, this is beautiful, your partner is inspiring to all of us. How true it is that by not speaking up when we know something is wrong, we condone it. This explains a lot to me about how things are in the world, the strange acceptance I feel by humanity (and me) of all that is wrong, that this is “just the way life is”, when we can simply speak up about what we know to be true. Change will only happen this way.
I love the commitment and strength you express in this blog. Very inspiring. To stand up for truth no matter what!
Sandhya that was inspirational to read your passion about your partner and what strength she has given you by speaking her truth.
It seems there will always be those who lie and manipulate for their own gain. It is for each of us to choose what we stand for and the type of world we want to live in. Thank you for your article – it was truly inspiring and heartening to read.
Hi Sandhya I too am inspired by your partners willingness to stand for truth at any cost. There is not many people that will do that.
How beautifully put ” for by saying nothing , I am condoning these lies for actions to be acceptable”. We all need to stand up for the truth. Your blog is very inspiring and a great reminder to us all that united we stand and can make a difference.
I am inspired Sandhya by the strength and courage of your partner and also you who is standing beside her. We need more people willing to stand for truth, as there is so much wrong with this world, but reading this also reminds me of so much that is truly amazing. Thank you.
Inspiring Sandhya that you felt to convert your watching into such wise words.
The world would be as it is now and would get worse. Thanks to many people standing up for truth, responsibility and accountability their is the possibility of the world changing. Now that is very inspiring.
I loved this article and this sentence – ‘Inspired to stand in my truth and allow the world to see this in all that I do.’
Great example of standing out, speaking up, not to hide. I read a consistency in how your partner lives. That consistency seems to be the inspiration -no matter what, she will speak up again and stand for her livingness.
A beautiful blog, thank you Sandhya, you are both very inspiring. I am shocked at how unethical the media have been when interviewing people regarding Universal Medicine. It seems they have been looking for quotes to fit the warped story they have decided to tell. When it is clear to them, that they are indeed misrepresenting the facts, which is in fact telling lies, it would be easy, apart from a bashing to the ego, to come clean, apologise and walk away feeling good that you have done the right thing. Instead of digging yourself into an even bigger hole, from which it gets increasingly hard to escape from. If the reason for not doing this is from a fear that your reputation will be damaged and people won’t believe what you write in the future …. well, I hate to break the bad news, but that day has already well and truly come.
You are so supportive to your partner Sandhya, and you can feel how consistent she is. When someone stands up and claims truth, we are all inspired to feel the power of this and stand up for what we know to be true.
Woaoa, your partner is very inspiring and so are you writing this blog showing your love and honour for her so openly not holding anything back. What a beautiful relationship you have!
I agree Brendan at some point someone, somewhere has to make a stand for truth and integrity and there are numerous examples in history of people being prepared to stand up for what they felt was true and right.
That is so sweet for you to express how you have been inspired by your partner that you have been with for 26 years, it just goes to show that love, joy and inspiration is not something that dies out in relationships – it can always be there.
Beautiful Sandhya! In a sense, Rachel’s story is the story of most of us. The media attacks were a watershed. Before, each of us minded its own business. It was not feeling of us. It was the beginnings of the outrageous attacks on Universal Medicine and the depiction as real of blatant lies that activated us and that allowed to publicly claim truth as we know it. This was instrumental to start working together and to construct a sense of us. There is no walking away from this. Only deepening now.
Thank you for your post and thank you for being a solid foundation for all of us. To be attacked in malicious and untruthful fashion is truly awful. To be misquoted and disregarded so deliberately in order to give another a short time in the spotlight is incredibly wrong. While many under this kind of attack do stand firm their lot is made so much easier when the rest of us can also stand on the truth and therefore stand with them. The support you are consistently choosing to give your partner is extremely valuable to upholding the truth and helping humanity everywhere. Thank you.
Yes, it is an inspiration to stand strong, never waver from what is true and support each other to hold the love. True teamwork.
Sandhya, I loved reading this — so inspiring. I love when you write: ‘she does not change who she is and what she portrays to the world: she does not shy away from criticism or make herself inconspicuous, from fear of what the repercussions may be.’
That is true inspiration, a true way of being and we need many more people in the world like that, where they are not driven by a want to protect themselves and their little turf as it were, but by a true love for people and standing up for the truth. To that I take my hat off (even if I’m not wearing a hat!) and I’m right there with you both.
Hi Sandhya, I love re-visiting this blog to feel the strength in your partnership. It inspires me with my relationship, to work together consistently as a team and make sure nothing is held back with respect to truth.
The way your partner has held and expressed her truth while those around her have tried to bring her down is truly inspirational Sandhya. The fact that she has inspired you can only deepen and further evolve your relatioship.
What a lovely relationship you must share. To be truly inspired by another like this is one of the best gifts to have and then share that back with your partner. True evolution for you! Thank you Sandhya.
Whoa – this is a powerful blog, Sandhya. I loved reading this line: “I see her not be afraid of calling out what is not right with the media’s exploits and the trolling that is happening on these blog sites; and this is all done not with any anger or malice, but from the true love for humanity that she has.” That feels so key, that it is done from true love for humanity.
I agree Deborah, it is not for self but because Sandhya and her partner care deeply for everyone.
Beautiful to feel your commitment to truth and to choose to deepen your own relationship with truth and stand up by it no matter what, very inspiring!
I feel the strength and power behind your words. You are the love that makes standing up to these bullies all the easier for your partner.
The absolute knowing and strength of being true to who you are. Unwavering, inspirational, powerful – what a wonderful reflection. Thank you.
This is powerful, Sandhya: ‘She does not change who she is and what she portrays to the world’ To stand in one’s truth no matter what, this is urgently needed in this world. Great inspiration.
Beautiful Sandhya – I am inspired by you!
I love reading this blog, I can feel you have so much appreciation for what your partner brings to life. It reflects to me, how much appreciation and care you also share with yourself. It is wonderful to share in this intimate and loving exchange. It is lovely that you are open to express this experience in this blog, so that others may feel this as well. I can feel how love is so much powerful than anything else.
Thank you Sandhya. There is no time-out or time-off for Truth. It is always standing, and forever inspiring. I’ll stand with you in Truth all the way.
Yes Brendan simply living our truth like Sandhya and her partner is awesome and it diminishes the power of the trolls and lie makers. Let this be an inspiration for me to speak the truth no matter what.
Thank you Sandhya, it is crazy and despicable how low the media have gone in this situation. Your partner is an inspiration as you are too, how amazing it is when we see people stand firm in their truth when others do what they can to bring them down.
Sandhay I am so much inspired too . . . what you wrote about your partner is absolute supportive!!!! The power of you both is emanating out of your blog – wow this is so infectious einfach nur toll.
It was interesting to read that the press did an hour interview and from that got the one line they could use to manipulate the story. We have a real problem with our media in that every headline has to be attention grabbing, as news is a bigger competition than ever before. And we are complicit in this game as we get drawn to the headlines, even though they rarely represent the truth of the story. To stand tall against this is impressive as the media wield a lot of power and are never afraid to use it.
What you say Stephen I have seen so many times in our society and amongst everybody. We want the headline, the summary. Even when someone asks you how you are, most times they don´t spend the time to really know how you are. We don´t listen enough, we don´t take the time to read in detail about something, we just want the quick information, the one line, the impact, which many times is not true. If all those journalists spent the time and dedication needed to know what is really going on in Universal Medicine, if they had the interest to unveil the truth, and if society was ready to put the love and dedication to knowing the true story, they would see the details of so many lives transformed…
Sandhya you hit the nail on the head. Not being who we truly are is not paving the way for those haters to feel the love. They can say what they like but they cannot take away your livingness and those that are truth know truth.
Keep shining your lights!
Absolutely Wendy!
