SHARAN

To help you reach your health resolutions, we have decided to extend our 50% discounts to all our four ongoing online courses – Reversing Diabetes in 21 Days, The Whole Food Plant Based Cooking Course (English & Hindi) & The Six Weeks to Health Gain & Weight Loss. Let’s build a culture of health together.

Diamond merchant Ashwin Pandiya’s health turn-around helped him find his passion!

They say passion is not something that you know but something that you have been ignoring all along. I have always been passionate about my work but what I kept ignoring in the process was my health.

This resulted in me having a number of health-related problems including high blood pressure, skin issues, and a number of acute diseases. I was in dire need of a solution and a simple Facebook post led me to reconnect with my Guru, who suggested that I shift to a raw diet. Not knowing how this was going to help, I decided to stop doubting and followed a strict raw diet for 3 months. What I felt after that was nothing short of a miracle. I felt rejuvenated, was energetic all the time, my mind was clear, I felt like a burden had been lifted and I was able to stop my high blood pressure medicines. All my health issues seemed to have vanished.

My new-found knowledge led me in search of organic food and I ended up meeting Capt. Pinto of SHARAN, who eventually helped me realize the passion that I had always been ignoring. Understanding the aspects of whole plant-based food, veganism and organic farming eventually led me to my life’s purpose. I wanted to help people reconnect with nature, spread awareness about holistic health and help organic farmers flourish and this became the reason for starting the SHARAN Organic Store’s South Mumbai branch. Most of us have forgotten how it feels like to be one with nature. My advice to everyone would be to experience that reconnection.

Happy 2020?

While March of this year caused confusion, chaos and concern, we at SHARAN picked up the pace soon as health concerns were literally in the air. An interest in one’s well-being piqued for most. People had time to listen, to take care of themselves. We could reach out to people all across the world. Suddenly addressing someone in Sydney or Dehradun was possible at one click!

So what was 2020 like at SHARAN? Here is a list of our acheivements.
