Endorsed by renowned alternative medicine advocate Deepak Chopra, Harricharan is in Mumbai with his adopted daughter Malika to raise funds for orphanages. The lecture was attended by 70 people, some of whom had come from Delhi, Hyderabad and even America.

Explaining his now famous power pause technique, he said all of us face three problems in life – health, money and relationships. "For 3 minutes, follow these three steps, break the focus, feel everything you would have felt if what you wanted to happen actually happens, say thank you. Fear and guilt are your biggest enemies." said Harricharan, who is here in India after 24 years.

Dr Indira Venkatratnam, 69, came from Hyderabad to attend the lecture. She is India's first female hospital administrator and has been following John for more than 5 years.

"He adopted two children from India. Malika is going to raise funds for orphanages in Delhi. Funds collected at this event will go to Saint Catherine's Orphanage in Bandra. The Mardai Harricharan Foundation which he runs in his wife's name is dedicated to orphanages," said Manali Vengsarkar, wife of ace cricketer Dilip Vengsarkar.

Harricharan says a lot has changed in Mumbai. "There is a desire for technology as well as anxiety about money here. Everyone is busy trying to make a living, but not making a life. Mumbaiites should love everyone deeply, care and help others. You must believe that you are smarter and trust yourself. India is the spiritual continent, mother of spirituality," he said.To meet himJohn Harricharan will be in Mumbai till Nov 23.
