I never thought I’d be the type of person to write this, but logic failed where energy worked.

I’m writing this because six months ago, I was scouring the internet looking for hope, just like some of you might be doing right now.

To give you some context, I am a software engineer working in Bangalore. I’m a person of data, logic, and practical solutions. I don’t believe in "magic," and I definitely used to roll my eyes at the idea of pujas or yagyas fixing personal crises. I always believed that if two people want to be together, they talk it out. If they don't, they part ways. Simple.

But that "simple" logic fell apart when my relationship of five years hit a wall. It wasn't just a rough patch; it was the end. We had stopped talking. He had moved out. The ego battles were so high that even looking at each other felt toxic. I tried therapy, I tried giving space, I tried the long emotional texts. Nothing worked. He was adamant that we were done, and honestly, I was drained. I was grieving a breakup that hadn’t officially been signed off on, but felt dead in the water.

I found Sudha Shastri ji through a reference, and honestly, I booked the consultation with zero expectations. actually, I was half-ready to debunk whatever she said.

What surprised me was that Sudha ji didn’t try to scare me. She didn’t tell me I was cursed or ask for exorbitant amounts of money to "bind" him to me (which I would have refused). Instead, she spoke about the energy of the relationship. She explained that the love hadn’t died, but it was suffocating under layers of negativity and past conflicts. That’s when she suggested the Ashta Rudra Yagya.

I was hesitant. It sounded intense. But she explained it’s not about controlling the other person; it’s about clearing the chaotic vibrations that are causing the friction. It’s about calming the 'Rudra' (anger/ego) elements that destroy connections.

I decided to go ahead with it, mostly because I had nothing left to lose.

I won't lie and say that the day the Yagya started, he came running back with flowers. That’s movie stuff. Real life is different. But something did shift. Around the completion of the process, I felt a heaviness lift off my chest first. I stopped feeling that desperate need to chase him. I felt calm for the first time in months.

And then, the impossible happened. Three days after the Yagya concluded, he texted. Not a fight, not an accusation. Just a simple, "Can we talk? I’ve been feeling really heavy about how we left things."

When we met, the anger was gone. It was strange—the same issues were there, but the animosity had evaporated. We could actually communicate without it turning into a war. He told me that for the last week, he had suddenly felt this overwhelming urge to let go of his grudge, that he couldn't remember why he was so angry in the first place.

We are back together now. It’s a work in progress, obviously, but we are healing. We are laughing again.

I don’t know the science behind the Ashta Rudra Yagya. I don’t know how Sudha ji channeled that energy or what the mantras did specifically. But I know that where my logic and my MBA failed, her guidance worked.

I’m sharing this not to tell you what to do, but because I know how lonely it feels when your relationship is crumbling and you feel powerless. Sometimes, the blockage isn't in your words or actions; it's in the energy surrounding you.

If you are at that point where you’ve tried everything humanly possible and nothing is working, maybe you need to look at the things you can’t see. Sudha ji is a very rare kind of soul—she doesn't just predict; she heals.

I’m just grateful I put my skepticism aside for once. It saved my us.
