My name is Satyaprem and it took me four years of testing in meditation practice, to create the final, elegantly practical design of Nirvani.
Back pain. In the beginning of my spiritual journey more than 15 years ago, I spent hundreds of hours trying to overcome frustration and go into meditation. Before even trying to make the mind silent, I was struggling with back pain, knee pain and general discomfort. Why? Because my body was not flexible enough to maintain a meditation posture and be in stillness. I was experiencing extreme pain in my knees and lower back, just by trying to keep my back straight.
This is how it all started. From my need to meditate. From my agony to bring some change in my life. From my determination to give Me the chance to walk the path of wisdom. From my excitement to explore the realms of self-realisation.

Diving in the texts of meditation, I discovered that the kneeling posture is as powerful (if not even more) and effective as the cross-legged that we are all used to see. The name of the kneeling position is called in Sanskrit “Vajrāsana” the Thunder posture. A simple Google search will convince anyone about its amazing benefits. In this pose, I had no back pain. My back was naturally straight without any effort. No pain in the knees also. However, after 10 minutes, the weight of my body made my ankles numb and I had discomfort.
I started experimenting with various cushions, yoga bricks and any prop I could think of. None was good for more than 20 minutes.
I had to start creating something myself. From scratch. And this, took me four years to bring into completion.
