“Total Bliss”

a story

of

“Vaidya healing me from beyond the grave…”

~ Tess N. Skudlark

When my dear friend Melina asked if I would write a “review” of my experience with the “Total Bliss” capsules, I responded: “Girl! I can not give you a review, because what happened to me is so much more: this is a story of our dear Vaidya healing me from beyond…”

I simply couldn’t write a review. Because it would do neither Vaidya nor his divine healing powers any justice!  

Do you ever have one of those moments, I like to call them a “flow moment,” when one life event leads to the other in a seamless flow? I think perhaps meditators and healers might know what I am talking about. I was experiencing a “flow state” when Vaidya sent a response to my healing plea, or rather, the “healing rant” that I had sent him. Apparently, he really is listening!

Like many of us, living modern lives in the Western world, the core issue on my healing path has been my nervous system. Major vata dosha imbalance. Stress. And it has taken me many many years, alongside various manifestations of odd health issues, to really understand what is going on…

For many years, I suffered with nocturia: frequent night-time urination. It was on and off, with periods of normalcy, and then some periods where it would get very acute. Over the years, I tried different remedies, but most of the time, I would only get mild relief, and then things would escalate again. So for many years now, I’ve just been trying to manage it as best as I could – I gave up thinking I would EVER be able to be free from it…

Recently, I went through a period where my nocturia was “on the rampage” – as the expression goes. Worse than ever: I was literally up 10 times a night every night for weeks in a row! I was so exhausted. Again, I tried various things, old things, new things, doing more research and “deep dives.” I adopted some new tricks, even some Chinese herbs, that helped calm it a little. But it would not go away. And then I sobbed: “I am just over this and I am really ready to really heal this issue once and for all.” And I prayed. Very very hard. Fortunately (as we all are), when I pray earnestly, God always answers… 

And then a thought came to me very innocently: “I really need ashwagandha internally, I know it is very heating, but this is what I need!” I have a beautiful picture of Vaidya in my office, which I look at and speak to often, and I angrily said to him “I don’t know why we can’t take this, I really need it, because nothing else is helping.” I was kind of pissed off to be honest – (lol!!!). Hence, me saying it was more of a frustrated rant than a plea! You might have guessed by now that I am a high pitta with vata imbalance! Just confirming in case that’s what you were thinking!!!

The following day, I went to the Prana Center to pick up some products, and saw Melina’s car out front, so of course I made my way straight to her desk to bother her and started being nosy, picking up and exploring all the various potions and products she had on her desk!!! I picked up one bottle, the Ashwagandha Plus and exclaimed: “This is what I need! I am taking this from you now!” Melina replied “No, no, I have something even better for you! Vaidya wrote a formula for a product prior to his passing, and it has Ashwagandha in it, I am literally having it put together right now.” Next thing I know a spoonful of this powder was in my mouth! And I can’t explain it any other way, except I had chills running down my spine and body. You know the chills you get when you know you’re experiencing divine communication?! I knew that Vaidya had heard me, I knew he was answering me. I was having a genuine “flow moment!”

Time is not linear friends, Vaidya might not have known it at the time, but he was literally writing my remedy ten years ago, to be delivered to me now, in my greatest time of need. I immediately felt as if someone had pulled the plug on my proverbial electric chord, and I calmed right down!

And that night, I slept……and I slept deeper than I had in months, even years! Most importantly, my nocturia episodes immediately subsided! 

I think I am on week 9 now since starting the Total Bliss capsules, and am now only getting up once a night! Although I had also corrected other lifestyle and dietary habits that may have contributed, I credit “Total Bliss” for fully addressing my condition in a conclusive manner. It was like it was wrapping me up like a baby in a warm blanket and calming and soothing me – the way only a mother’s arms can…

Thank you Vaidya, and thank you Melina for materializing and delivering the healing. 

This is hands-down, the best SVA product I have EVER used, and if you know the greatness of Vaidya’s products, you know that I am making a tall claim by saying that! But try it for yourself and see. I will look forward to reading your success stories too. 

Much love,

I recently had the opportunity to test-drive this new SVA product. And honestly, I’ve started calling it “VaidyaZen” because that’s exactly how it makes me feel; calm, balanced, and at ease, without aggravation.

For quite some time, I had been struggling with severe neck pain that would radiate into my head. It became so intense that I was waking up around 4am every night and could barely function normally during the day.

Dr Melina suggested I take the capsules three times a day, and the results have been incredible. What feels like a miracle happened – I’m finally able to sleep through the night without waking up in pain, and I can go through my day feeling like myself again.

To me, this is more than comfort or relief – it truly feels life-changing. I’m deeply grateful to have found something that has helped me this much.

Highly recommend trying it for yoruself – order, experience, and enjoy the calm.

With Great Gratitude,

Sofia Ianovskaia

“The Total Bliss Capsules have been a wonderful addition to my daily wellness routine. They support a calm, balanced mood, make emotional ups-and-downs more manageable, and help clear mental clutter. My metabolism is very sensitive to ashwagandha, but this formula works beautifully for me without any side effects.

An added bonus is the digestive support—less bloating, a lighter feeling after meals, and a flatter-looking abdomen! Since the gut and emotions are closely connected through the gut-brain axis, this thoughtfully formulated blend supports both emotional balance and healthy digestion.

It has been especially helpful during perimenopause and menopause, supporting mood, low soma (lack of lubrication), and bone and joint health. Praval Bhasma provides much-needed calcium support after menopause.

This blissfully balanced formula features a synergistic blend of tridoshic herbs that support immunity, emotional well-being, gut and liver health, nourish the nervous system, help the body eliminate EMF toxins, provide calcium support, promote joint lubrication, and cool, nourish, and protect the liver.

Overall, Total Bliss Capsules leave me feeling calmer, more balanced, comfortable, and refreshed. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to support emotional well-being, gut health, and menopausal wellness.

My heartfelt gratitude to my Master, the genius Vaidya Mishra, and to Chandika for making this wonderful formula available—truly a blissful gift for the world we live in today.

A Bit More About

Total Bliss…

Vaidya Mishra was an award-winning master-formulator. But we’ve already known that you say?! His mastery over the full ayurvedic pharmacopeia – pharmacy of healing plants, herbs, ingredients – is evident to all. But perhaps you did not know that he also knew how to combine them, to create a totally new synergy of herbs with unprecedented healing and balancing properties? This is nothing short of divine creational powers… His entire ayurvedic legacy on www.chandika.com, speaks loud and clear! Unique ayurvedic formulations full of prana and addressing our current cultural and historic needs – so much to say about this point another time…. And Total Bliss is the latest in this star-studded trajectory.

It is a unique blend of potent classical ayurvedic plants, notably: Ashwagandha, Ashoka, Tulsi, Guduchi.

Ashwagandha is an ayurvedic superstar; however, we see nowadays how it has become a popular supplement and it is being misused. It will, without a doubt, create great imbalance for all those using it as-is on its own in concentrated form. Have you seen the latest version on the Costco shelves that contains JUST the extract AND the plant?! This is meant to be a great selling point: it contains 100% pure Ashwagandha. But that’s exactly the problem: Ashwagandha has athi-ushna virya, heating potency, and can cause destructive heat for the nervous system and the liver, severely aggravating the bodily tissues as well all the way down to the bone and bone marrow, when taken alone.

This is why Vaidya’s Mishra always paired Ashwagandha with other herbs and ingredients to balance its heating properties without compromising its healing properties.

Total Bliss also contains Ashoka – a great anti-inflammatory and balancing plant for the sadhak pitta. In the Ramayana, it is the tree Sita chooses to be close to, to help her heal her broken heart and grief, because even being in its vicinity one can experience healing! Guduchi, also a giant amongst ayurvedic healing plants, known as “amrita” – plant that rejuvenates and supplies immortality; Brahmi – the sacred plant that heals the body to give access to all that resides beyond the body; Tulsi, a great rejuvenator and protector; the sacred Bilva; the divine queen amongst all flowers – Rose, and more! The greatest thing about this formula is that ALL these plants work together to give you a new level of mental and emotional equanimity, settle the nervous system and thus improve your sleep, pacify your pachak/digestive pitta and body’s overall pH, and allow your mind and heart to experience the cosmic bliss that animates your body.

We know this is going to become your newest most favorite SVA-go-to! But don’t take our word for it: see what our SVA educators and practitioners in the field have to say about the Total Bliss capsules…
