Education Times, 4 November, 2004

“Tai Chi is a perfect blend of softness and strength, the masculine and the feminine. It is acknowledged to help you attain the highest ideals of beauty and strength.”
Rashmi Uday Singh, Indian Express, 22 July, 1998

“The primary endeavour of T’ai Chi is to become the Tao (le, the void or nothingness).”

Health & Nutrition, December 2005

“T’ai Chi strengthens you and helps you to slow down after the maddening pace of the crazy metropolis.”

India Today, 2006

“The principle of Tai Chi is quite contrary to the Western forms of overcoming force. No pumping iron or pressuring your muscles into the look-good, feel-hard- bulges “like Salman Khan” which is rather difficult state to maintain and which makes you look good in swimsuits but need not necessarily keep your system healthy. Stress-free is the operative word here.”
Society, December 1998

“Most of our inner energy remains unused and goes waste. We do not know how to channelize this inner energy for the maximum gain. Tai Chi teaches you to work on that reservoir of inner energy.”

Asian Age, 8, August 1999

“Many exercises leave you fatigued with the sheer pressure to perk up counts while a Tai Chi session refreshes.”

Outlook, 3 July 2000

“From a fledgling student of Tai Chi to an expert, to a messenger, Sensei Desai has arrived.”

Asian Age, 8, August 1999

“If you are looking for a form of exercise to give you a combination of yoga, gym workouts and aerobics, you don’t need to shuffle your time schedule between these various forms of exercise individually, as the goodness of all with an additional benefit of martial art though with softness in its form.”
BTW, 4 December, 2006

“Sensei Desai is a living embodiment of harmony.”

Timeout Mumbai, 5. Oct 2006

“The sensei who initiated me into his fold, is truly a silent warrior, slender in body, powerful within: gentle and yielding, yet firm in his conviction. There is a passion about him, which gives vent to the stealthy and magnetic flow of his movements. powerful, almost ballet-like in style, scripting a meditation in motion.”

Shambhavi Lorain Chopra, author of book 'Yogini'
