For your CBS “Evening Magazine” Laugh
doctor from San Jose, broadcast program. The way you bring
happiness to others, you are an inspiration for all of

It was an honor to do a story on you------Dave Stoelk, CBS
Evening Magazines, SF
You were wonderful on CBS Evening Magazine unique story of
Laugh doctor from San Jose. Myself and Sunila saw the CBS Evening
Magazine Laugh doctor from San Jose Program and liked it. You
acted naturally without any stage consciousness. I thought a
little more stress on the therapeutic aspects of laughing and
how this exercise is be performed would have been more beneficial
to the common person viewing the program-------- Regards, Fondekar
Hi Aryaji, ABC pranam. I on behalf of all the ABC LC members
of Encinal Park thank you for the ample support and close co

with you all before my move to India on the 23 Nov. In my absence
Mr Om Prakash Gupta , to whom you met today will take charge
till Jan 03 and when he leaves he will select someone else with
your guidence. This will keep the ABC LC to go on and maintain
its tempo. We shall meet at Hyderabad. Keep mailing me, let us
continue exchange laughter ideas. Bye and wish u all the best.

Bless you.While the rest of the world is fighting,hurting and
destroying happiness,you bring joy and laughter to it.Can you
get us the video of the CBS programme?-----------Shobha Mehta,
Aunt from NJ
I also wanted to let you know I am planning to carry my thesis
on to practice as much as possible in the future. I just did
another inservice/presentation on therapeutic laughter for my
Internship...they loved it and were very interested in the concept
of using humor and laughter. You are really a wonderful person
to know and are working towards a worthy cause. I am really honored
to have a chance to know you would love to hear from you when
you get time.-------Rupal Matani, San Jose State Research student
You should explore smiling through the body while breathing
into any organ. Body is intelligent. Relax and drop your jaws
and start smiling while breathing through mouth. Breath through
hands and feet. --------Surinder Irikulla
It takes time for the person to be comfortable for laughing
naturally and it is my first class, may be I might take some
time to practice new idea of laughter. --------Radhika
You should visit us more frequently. A time schedule should
be fixed and followed. -----Mohan Lal Sharma, Senior Citizen
Conduct laughter for small group meetings for seniors. You
are doing great. Please organize such sessions more often. -------B.N
Rao and V. K. Fondekar, FFE

I think you are great as you are ----------------Prajakta

It
was very impressive to know that web site exists for laughter
knowledge
for the benefit of humanity.
I am an active member
Laughter Clubs in Mumbai. I think it is better if we have
50-50 for laughter and exercise sections. Involvement of
younger generation
will bring down rate of stress related diseases-particularly
in USA where people make breakfast in home and take while
driving to their offices. The job of Laughaway in USA is
commendable
and we should recognize it in the government, as it will
bring down medical bill and compensation to the employees
at large.
There should be exchange of laughter club members in the
form of regular trips from one part of the world to the
other in order
to bring effectiveness of this alternative therapy for
the hidden diseases-like cancer, peptic ulcer, mental disorders
etc. I think
Mr. Arya has done a job which can be compared to pioneers
like Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nightingale etc in making
awareness
of this wonderful laughter mantra for curing the incurable
diseases and preventive steps for the outburst of major
mishap in a man’s
life. My all the best wishes for continuing this human
related project with thankless returns from the society.---------------
K.C.Talware, Laughter Club Member
On
behalf of Konkani Assocaition I would like to personally
thank Mr.
Talwar & you for organizing the laughter session
at Lake Elizabeth. Yes, it is indeed a refreshing change for
all age groups to enjoy laughter and stress reducing exercises.
Moreover it brought people of all age groups together in a harmonious
way. Everybody enjoyed the work-out & laughter exercises,
but please keep the introduction of laughter club short & precise
as people in Silicon Valley have short attention span.
Thanx again, -------- Vidya Ullal, President of Konkani
Association.
This is a really cool site. I am thinking about doing a speech
on laughter since I seem to do so much of it. Everything is really
helpful and detailed, thanks for that. The only comment I have
is that you might want to try and make your web pages fit on
the page and not spill over. When I was trying to print I had
lot of them not give me the whole article or information I needed.
Other than that. Everything is great. I love to laugh! BYE and
Keep on laughing.~-------Tiffiany
Laugh it out. My son Aman continues to remind us Friday is
his laughing day. The sessions have done a magic on him.--------
Deepak Mehrotra, Member Laughter Club
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, ...Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho..... It was a pleasure and
a lot of fun for me, my wife and son to be participants in your
session with the Youth Core yesterday. You certainly made an
impact on this young group who no doubt will remember the session
through out their trip in India. Thanks for coming at such a
short notice. Regards, --------Raj Desai, Excecutive Director,
The IndUS Entrepreneurs
Congratulations and keep up the good work. I really appreciate
the dedication you have for the laughter movement. God blesses
you. Ho Ho Ha Ha Ha------------Dr. Madan Kataria, Founder Laughter
Clubs Movement.
Very exciting. You are the best ambassador for laughter! We
now teach your mirror laughter technique in all of our workshops.
Love and laughter.-------- Steve Wilson, President World Laughter
Tour
Thanks very much for letting come this morning to witness
and photograph the laughing exercise in Alum Rock Park. I had
a wonderful time. If I'm free in two weeks and the weather looks
better, I may try to come again. But I'll let you know. Thanks
also for helping me locate a traditional Indian wedding. Look
forward to seeing you again. Hoo hoo ha ha ha! Cheers, ------

We
had really great time on Sunday. My friends liked all laughing
methods you taught in laughter session.
They called me back saying
thanks for arranging this session & they are laughing
in front of their mirrors in the morning.-------Pournima
Shindgikar,
Organizer for laughter session
Thank
you again for the fantastic workshop you provided for our
staff.
What a wonderful response we had!!
Not only was it
helpful in providing a technique for our staff to reduce
stress and live a healthier lives, it also provided an
bonding experience
that will carry on through all the work we do. Now, when
staff from different agencies that were present at the
training come
across each other in another setting, they have a positive
experience. Thanks you for providing that. Thank you again
for great job
and I’m looking forward to working with you again,
soon. In laughter, ----Jennifer Hulbert, Associate Director,

Great job and excellent laughter seminar. I think you should
organize some more seminars in Alwar and then organize all over

We laughed together and we learned a lot! Arya is a real wealth
of information.
He's
conducted over 70 laughter sessions all over the country.
If you Haven’t
availed yourself of this fantastic resource, please do.
Arya would love to meet
you and laugh with you. He'll
send you material and give you ideas to help you. I can't
say enough good things about Arya. Here's a link if you
need it:

You
of all people have been able to look at life and LAUGH
!! Sometimes “PLLBBB” is good too. 56 years old but
you still are young at heart !!! I’m proud and lucky to
have a Dad like you. I Love you !!! I Love You !----------------Varun
Pathia’ “Your Sonny Boy !!”
Arya,
I’m
very impressed that such a non-technical guy can really
be hand-on web-designer !!!Things
much better than
last time I visited. I had a little trouble with Real Audio
so I could only listen to one of your laughter sessions.
It is very
nice to hear you laughing. I like how much brighter and
fun the sight looks. If you could get a group picture that
shows a few
more of people participating I think that would help a
lot. Thanks again and hope to see you soon-------------Ed

I visited your web page www.laughaway.com and found very interesting.
Congratulations for your unique contributions to the society.
Even we met number of times during FFE meetings, we did not have
enough time to share our experiences. We have lots of things
in common. I will send you e-mail later to share with you my
great experiences with laughing clubs in Ahmedabad and my YOGA
related work. Keep up with excellent work. With regards --------Jayant

On
behalf of the seniors and staff from Old Bridge Center,
we would like
to send you very belated thanks
for the “Laughaway
Program” you gave on June 6, 1998. It is refreshing
program for the seniors, very different from our regular
calendar, and
the everyone enjoyed it immensely. The video that was taken
did not turn out very well, so I am sending you the photographs
of
the event. If you are ever in our area in the future, we
would love to have you come back to our center and to present
another
fine program so that we can laugh together again!!, Thanks
again. ----------Helen Rende, Director, Township of Old
Bridge, Office
of Aging/Senior Center
Thank
you so much for presenting for our group last night. The
energy
was so positive, for a change! I haven’t
seen my clients so relaxed a laughing in a LONG time.
After you left
we had a short discussion, an everyone focused on the positive
things in their lives rather than the struggles. It was
so great to have the negativity released for one evening!
We will try
to keep the positive energy flowing, and we will be certain
to laugh all the time! I truly thank you for sharing
your spirit
and knowledge with us. I hope we will stay in touch and
that you might be able to come out again in the future.

heals up all the wounds! Thanks you for very much for the natural
medicine. “Ha, Ha, ha, Hee, Hee, Hee, Hee,..” Waiting
for your more advice and input. ---------------John DeSousa
