First rays of the sun barely made their way through the dawn as he walked along. He was clueless about the mission that awaited him! It was time for the dots of his story to stop hiding. Yet the first one had only begun to appear hazily. As always, the dots were going to make sense later; when connected!
Today, Atul Gadkari is a well-experienced Healer Naturopath and Yoga Expert! But, till the early 2000’s he was purely a technical person with strong background in the mechanical field. Back then, his nature of business comprised of not just ex*****on but also a lot of consultation. This resulted in frequent travel across the country.
On one such occasion, work took him on yet another journey. As usual, he left his home before dawn, least expecting the life-changing encounter that was going to take place soon enough. On that day, Atul Gadkari travelled 150miles from his town for a business meeting with an elderly doctor. Apart from their agenda, several other topics were discussed. And, while they were engrossed in discussing a subject of common interest, little did they notice the passing dusk.
“It is a boon to mankind.” said the doctor. “Its juicy healthy nectar can help to cure many ailments and diseases. Many underlying and potential illnesses can be addressed with this. Yet, relatively, a very few people know about it!” The doctor went on. He highly spoke of his extremely nutritious Wheat Grass yield. And, Atul Gadkari listened to him with keen attention while browsing through his memories of planting wheat grass.
Being an avid reader with experimental nature and a quest for knowledge, Atul Gadkari had previously grown wheat grass. It was a few years ago, and on a small scale in his backyard at Lonavala. So, he found significant familiarity with this subject. “This natural therapy has the potential to help countless people to fight a number of dreaded diseases!” he said. “And, that’s why I cultivate wheat grass for my patients.” remarked the doctor. Atul Gadkari was still oblivious to the fact that this interaction was leading him to a new passion.
Convinced with Wheat Grass Powder and Naturopathy, he took 200 gms of wheat grass powder for his parents. Previously, for many long months, his mother and father were troubled with recurring hyperacidity and severe piles respectively. He cut short his itinerary and returned home the very next day; beaming with positivity as always!
Both his parents started daily intake of wheat grass powder alongside their medications, as recommended. In a matter of weeks, the entire family was pleasantly shocked to see the speed of recovery! Highly motivated, they regularly consumed the wheat grass powder. Increasingly, their neighbours and relatives curiously enquired about their therapy. They too started consuming the powder. Each and every man and woman; boy and girl had different health issues and diseases. Irrespective of the nature of their respective ailments and illnesses, consistent intake of wheat grass powder fetched everyone long lasting as well as substantial relief! Yet for them, such significant recovery was almost unbelievable. Perhaps, because it was completely natural!
Atul Gadkari got immense satisfaction from two things - providing wheat grass powder with relevant information, and seeing patients spring back with health and joy! The versatile curing ability of wheat grass powder kept inspiring him to introduce the product to those who could benefit the most from it - people who were suffering - people who had serious health conditions - people who saw no hope! He knew he could help each and every one of them. And, he wanted to help.
All this dates back to the early 2000s; when in his 50’s Atul Gadkari took it upon himself to heal disease stricken people. He had utter faith in wheat grass powder and his positive approach. He saw this as an opportunity to move from a capitalist mindset to a more social healing mindset. And, he fully committed to Wheatgrass. He decided to leave behind his core manufacturing career and entrusted former business with his employees so that he could follow the path towards creating a healthy society - something that called out to him from within. . The dots were still unclear. Yet they asked to be joined. Intuitively, Atul Gadkari went on to study Naturopathy in depth. He became a Naturopath - not only recognized but also certified by ‘Maharashtra Shasan’!
Atul Gadkari started obtaining wheat grass powder to make it readily available for those who contacted him for it. He started visiting people’s homes in nearby cities like Mumbai and Pune on a daily basis. He offered unconditional, thorough, and genuine guidance. His travels were at his own expense, his consultation was free of charge, and there was no compulsion to buy the powder! Gradually, numerous patients and consumers started offering help to further spread wheat grass and its awareness. They invited him to deliver lectures about health, naturopathy, wheatgrass, and wellbeing.
Progressively, the word spread. During the course of the next few years, Healer Naturopath Atul Gadkari came across other industry experts as well as a number of patients. Consumers started putting their faith in his personalised consultation, and in the powder they purchased from him. Wheat grass powder therapy and Atul Gadkari became synonymous for many!
Each consumer’s complete recovery meant everything for Atul Gadkari. He also cared a lot for his promise as well as the trust that people showed in him. He had to be more than sure that he provided the best quality product for the best results. It was beyond a mere obligation for him! Being able to exercise jurisdiction on crop cultivation and powder production processes was imperative. So, Healer Naturopath Atul Gadkari decided to identify a location with highly favourable soil, water, climate, etc. for the same.
The search for a good farming location was in order. Again, a critical journey awaited its start. Though, there was one difference this time. Atul Gadkari exactly knew what his next mission was, what was to be done, and how! He was well aware that it was going to be life-changing for his patients as much as for him. Thus, he set out to introduce his own brand of Certified Organic Wheat Grass Powder.
The dots had grown bolder. Now, they were clearer. And when connected, they spelled ‘JEEWANANAND’.
