The Truth of our Esoteric Yoga Movement – Press Release of Natha Denmark [1 December]
We repost here the official press release of our member school, Natha Denmark, from Friday 1st December 2023.
Original: https://natha.dk/press-release/
We have become aware of the recent situation in France involving the arrest of Gregorian Bivolaru together with 40 other yoga practitioners. At this point, the only information we have about their whereabouts is what has been reported in the mainstream news media, which is informed by ”a source close to” the French news agency AFP.
As a member school of ATMAN – The International Federation of Yoga and Meditation (the Atman Federation), NATHA sides with the recent press releases published by the Atman Federation, its member school MISA, and several of its other member schools, which are linked below.
The target of the French authorities was yoga teacher, Gregorian Bivolaru, and the yoga school in France. We specify that NATHA organizes yoga courses only in Denmark and that the yoga school in France is an independent entity with its own management and organization, even though both schools are members of the Atman Federation, along with other yoga schools around the world.
Eminent Yoga Teacher, Gregorian Bivolaru, is one of the 23 founders of the Esoteric School of Integral Yoga MISA, Romania. He is the author of the Esoteric Integral Yoga course and co-author of the Esoteric Tantra Yoga course, which is taught at NATHA. These are comprehensive courses with hundreds of printed materials, recordings, techniques and teachings used by more than 60 yoga schools across the world. He is also the author of more than 50 books and publications and is appreciated as a spiritual mentor for many yoga practitioners all over the world.
Echoing the Atman Federation’s press release of 29th November 2023, we are “deeply concerned about the unsubstantiated attacks of the police and media against our Federation” (and indirectly against our yoga school here in Denmark). “We refute all of these absurd allegations which are made with no evidence”.
The same generic text and image have been published in hundreds, if not thousands, of local, national and international media worldwide, incriminating and branding Gregorian Bivolaru as a ’sect’ or ’cult’ leader, the Atman Federation and its member schools as a ’sect’ or a ’cult’, and all the yoga practitioners in this international yoga movement as ’cult/sect members’.
After the arrests took place (apparently 26 of the arrestees were released within 24 hours), the mainstream media proceeded with its slanderous and libelous campaign against our esoteric yoga movement, in this way continuing to expose thousands of genuine yoga practitioners across the world to unnecessary and unfair repercussions in their private lives. The same media has repeatedly and deliberately orchestrated similar campaigns against the activities, developments and reputation of the member schools worldwide for more than three decades.
It is worth mentioning that, in 1994, a few days after Mr. Bivolaru published a book exposing corruption in the Romanian government – analyzing it in parallel with malevolent deep state groups and their influence in the public space – his apartment blew up under highly suspicious circumstances. This case was never investigated by the Romanian police, but the results of a private investigation proved criminal involvement.
This is just one example in a 50-year-long story of terrible abuse against him and more than 30,000 yoga practitioners in his home country, Romania. Some of the abuse includes torture, disinformation and public lynching. Mr. Bivolaru was ’spotted’ as a potential ’danger’ and registered in the infamous archives of the secret Romanian police ’Securitate’ in 1971. Why is that never mentioned in the media?
Besides being a prominent yoga teacher, Mr. Bivolaru was also a dissident of Ceausescu and one of the first modern-day exiled whistleblowers. Proof of this is that Mr. Bivolaru was granted political asylum in Sweden based on Article 1 of the Geneva Convention in 2006 in protection against the Romanian state. Still to this day he is under the protection of the Swedish Justice and carries a UN passport. The abuses against Mr. Bivolaru and other yoga practitioners of MISA have lasted for more than 17 years, and recently the Romanian court ruled a fee of 50,000 euros be paid to Mr. Bivolaru for defamation and moral compensation.
Behind the current campaign against Mr. Bivolaru, the Atman Federation and its member schools, there is an opaque spiderweb of the ’anti-cult’ movement that consists of: ’apostates’ [i.e. indignant, vengeful former members who consider themselves egregiously wronged by an organization often with the coordination and encouragement of anti-cult groups.]; therapists, broadcasters and aggressive activists building a career and seeking financial gain through the opposition to and often attempted annihilation of spiritual movements; and political and financial lobbies which often have influence at the highest national levels. All have the unpublicized goal of disabling or destroying genuine spiritual movements like ours. Who is supposed to protect us against such malevolent and opaque interest groups in our society? Why are they afraid of genuine spiritual movements?
Another recent case against one of the members of the Atman Federation is that of ’the Spiritual School Rezonance’ in the Czech Republic (linked below). This school is currently the target of a systematic campaign that contains unfounded, false and reputationally damaging accusations initiated by an individual known by the names, Jakub Jahl or Jakub Sobek. As explained on the Atman Federation website, “His (Jahl’s) aggressive expressions on social networks, the YouTube platform and the paid platform HeroHero aim to seriously affect the reputation of the said school and at the same time negatively affect the living conditions of its teachers and students.”
From publicly available sources, it appears that Jahl is the founder of ‘Satan’s community’ and a notorious propagator of the ideology of Satanism. Articles in Novinky and The Epoch Times mention that he has a forensic psychiatric report stating that “he (Jahl) has a tendency to distort the facts and is unreliable as a witness.” In addition, he makes no secret of his heavy drug use and systematically promotes their legalization.
The accusations currently being circulated by the French press agency AFP and picked up by the Danish press are similar to those reported in Jyllandsposten in 2010 and on TV2 in 2013 in the TV program, ’Danmark Ifølge Bubber’. They include easily sensationalized topics with a guaranteed audience, such as rape, sexual assault, ‘grooming’, abuse of authority, kidnapping, seizure of persons, human trafficking, and the accusation of “mind control”.
The only “mind-control” we teach and practice is that in which everyone with the proper yoga methods can learn to control his/her own mind, i.e. to explore the magnificent potential of their own human consciousness. In an act of hypocrisy, TV2 showed us that they themselves do not hesitate to use narrative manipulation techniques on the viewers of their programs. In an episode about NATHA on ’Danmark Ifølge Bubber’, they used visual subliminals, attempting to compare NATHA to terrorist organizations and organized crime by flashing 16 logos onto the screen in 1.5 seconds, while an apostate asks the question: “If you can support this, then what can’t you support?”. (See link to the video below).
Both previous defamatory campaigns against NATHA, which were indiscriminately reposted across the Danish mainstream media, had three apostates as their only sources, all of whom were heavily invested with strong financial interests, career-based gains or emotional vengeance to smear and even annihilate our yoga school. However, they did not succeed, and today our yoga community is even more united, thriving and reaching out to increasingly more people who are genuinely interested in spiritual transformation and self-development through healthy yoga practices than ever before.
We also want to make it very clear that neither NATHA as an organization, nor any member of our staff or teaching department have ever been legally prosecuted or convicted of any of the alleged crimes referred to in the media campaign.
We have very strict policies safeguarding intimate and emotional consent, as well as clear social boundaries in our yoga classes and our community. We are very rigorous in ensuring a safe environment for everyone, perhaps more than most places in society as it is within our area of expertise.
We simply do not condone any sexualised attitudes or misbehavior. Anyone exhibiting such behavior is immediately disqualified from accessing our courses, events and volunteer programs. We encourage gentleness, heart-based communication, inner balance, honest introspection, freedom of choice, and genuine, mutual romantic connections.
One of the aims in our organization is to be part of reeducating and transforming such sexualised tendencies in our society. This is why we never have, and never will, encourage or teach sexualised behavior, which has become an obsession in today’s culture (e.g. 1/3 of all internet searches are for porn or sex). Instead, we teach people how to transform their sexual instincts and potential into pure eroticism and higher forms of creative expression, intellectual performance and expansion of consciousness. These goals are possible and accessible for everyone who truly makes the effort. Thousands of yoga practitioners have had significant results and astonishing personal transformations in their lives due to the esoteric yogic practices taught at NATHA.
We therefore call upon all well-intended independent journalists to truly investigate the source materials and what internationally recognised experts on human rights, sociology and religious movements have found in their in-depth investigations of Gregorian Bivolaru, NATHA, MISA and the Atman Federation. (Please find the link about this below).
It is important to mention that NATHA is neither responsible nor accountable for the private lives of its staff, students, volunteers and teachers. Being a member of NATHA is a completely voluntary commitment, which can be canceled with reasonable and previously agreed notice, like any other sports club, gym or non-profit organization in our country. We don’t ask people to commit to spiritual yoga classes and practices any more than what they themselves are interested in doing.
The current events mark yet another episode in the attacks against our spiritual yoga movement in the ongoing witch hunt and serve as a warning for anyone who truly cares about spiritual and religious human rights, as well as freedom of speech.
While we wait for the French justice system to take its due course of action, we hope that this press release was enriching for you and helped you understand where NATHA stands.
Rephrasing the words of eminent yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru, “we can tell you with anticipation that we will never give up”.
After almost 20 years, history repeats itself [30 November]
We publish here the English translation of the press release made by MISA Yoga School, one of our Atman Member schools:
Original: https://misa.yoga/comunicat-de-presa-privind-operatiunea-autoritatilor-franceze/
A new concerted attack against the yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru and indirectly also against the MISA Yoga School
On Tuesday, November 28, the French authorities launched a large-scale operation, similar to the large-scale deployment of forces in “Operation Christ” (as it was called, even by prosecutors) in March 2004, when approximately 200 prosecutors, police, gendarmes, members of the special forces stormed 18 buildings inhabited by yoga practitioners in Bucharest.
The target of French authorities was the yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru and the yoga school in France. (We specify again that MISA organizes yoga courses only in Romania – the yoga school in France being an independent entity, with its own management and organization, even though both are part of Atman – the International Federation of Yoga and Meditation, along with other yoga schools around the world). The absurd accusations circulated by the French press and picked up by the Romanian press are similar to those of 2004 and are obviously topics with a guaranteed audience: rape, seizure of persons, kidnapping, human trafficking (plus the comical-ridiculous accusation of “mind control”).
We would like to remind readers that the case from the court in Cluj, in which 21 yoga practitioners were unjustly accused of human trafficking was based on just a few statements of some so-called victims who were either threatened with indictment or persuaded by prosecutors to sign complaints with the promise of obtaining huge monetary sums as moral damages. (The amount requested by the 12 “injured parties” was almost 6 million Euros). In this marathon trial in which the 21 yoga practitioners were dragged through the courts for 17 (!) years, not only were all the accused acquitted four times (both at the trial on the merits and on appeal, in both the first and second procedural cycle), but the court additionally refused all requests for moral damages to be paid to the so-called injured persons. In other words, the facts of which these yogis were accused do not exist, despite the immense effort set in motion by the authorities to prove their guilt at all costs. The media, however, stubbornly pretended not to see this truth.
While in Romania the aberrant accusation of human trafficking was dismantled, and the attempt to associate the voluntary work carried out in spiritual communities with forced labor or human trafficking was doomed to failure, it seems that the scenario is repeating itself and the same mechanisms are set in motion now in France.
We do not know details of the case in France at the moment, yet it is worth emphasizing that, in Romania, among the dozens of yoga practitioners found in the homes searched in March 2004, not a single one (!) complained to the authorities who “liberated” them that they had been trafficked, exploited or abused. On the contrary, all made complaints against the prosecutors and gendarmes who carried out the searches.
As we have already become accustomed, the Romanian media is using this new opportunity to “unearth” sensationalist interviews with former MISA students – unscrupulous people, desperate for attention and money or motivated by personal vendettas. It is curious, however, that no journalist is interested in talking to those who have been harassed by prosecutors for 17 years (and who are now winning lawsuits against the Romanian state at the ECHR) or to those who, at that time, resisted the pressure of prosecutors and refused to sign incriminating statements in order to benefit in this way from the false status of “victim”.
In addition, the lack of professionalism exhibited by some journalists, who blend facts with false information, fabricate accusations, confuse data and people, with a total disinterest in correctly informing the public and respecting professional deontology, is also astonishing. Meanwhile, all information is public and easy to verify.
We consider it necessary to recall that Gregorian Bivolaru has been the target of media campaigns, intended to discredit and slander, since the 1990s. Supported and fueled by the authorities and the SRI (who released documents that should, theoretically, only be accessible to the prosecutor’s office), these campaigns constantly intoxicated, manipulated public opinion, inciting hatred and even public lynching.
Those who know him, however, can testify that Gregorian Bivolaru has always been a model of verticality and has never deviated from his spiritual principles. The tenacity with which Gregorian Bivolaru has been demonized and the discreditation of MISA is pursued should, we believe, give cause for thought to those concerned with the truth. As should the fact that this integral esoteric yoga school continues to be the largest in Europe, despite the constant attacks against it, and the discrimination and persecution that MISA yoga practitioners still face.
Allowing French justice to take its course, we are convinced that in the end the truth will triumph this time as well.

Another episode of a slanderous witch-hunt against genuine spirituality [29 November]
We are deeply concerned about the unsubstantiated attacks of the police and media against our Federation. We refute any of these current absurd allegations which are brought with no evidence.
ATMAN – The International Federation of Yoga and Meditation is a non-profit organization, providing courses on various branches of yoga and spirituality.
The Federation has several member schools worldwide, providing teaching materials and training for the teachers.
All of its member schools are organized independently according to their local legislation, holding full responsibility for their decisions and activities.
Atman Federation is not responsible and not accountable for the private life of students and teachers of the member schools.
This is another episode of an ongoing witch-hunt, and this fabricated campaign should raise a red flag for anyone who cares about spiritual and religious freedom.
Thousands of people who come to the courses of the member schools of the Atman Federation, some for decades, constantly attest the various excellent results they have attained in their health, well-being and success, not about trafficking, grooming, abuses, manipulations or brainwashing.
The way spiritual movements are attacked by both media and police has many parallels to other cases of human rights abuses, sadly reminding of totalitarian regimes. The repeated abuses against spiritual movements in the past were, besides being addressed in court, studied in depth by sociologists and experts who published books and articles revealing the fabricated cases hiding a political interest. Some of the member schools of Atman Federation have won court trials, including the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, proving the violation of human rights.

INTERNATIONAL CAMP FOR THE REVELATION OF THE SELF - ESSENCE (ATMAN) 2023-2024 - ONLINE [25 November]
The International Camp for the Revelation of the Self-Essence (Atman) will take place from 29th of December 2023 to 4th of January 2024, online.
During this camp, which will benefit from the telepathic spiritual support of yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru, the fundamental 14-step method of revealing the Self-Essence (Atman) through meditative introspection will be offered and exemplified from a supramental perspective, along with other important initiatory aspects.
The unique set of information and secret practicalities that will be offered in this spiritual camp is intended to provide the esoteric foundation for an extraordinarily fast and efficient (yet easily accessible) direct access to the essential reality of the supreme and immortal Self, Atman. Thus, as you will be able to convince yourself by participating in this exceptional spiritual event, the revelation of the Self, although generally regarded as an elusive goal reserved only for highly advanced yogis, is fully accessible with the appropriate spiritual guidance and impetus.
The esoteric revelations that will be offered in this spiritual camp will allow access, beyond any explanations, descriptions or intellectual understandings, to the fundamental Reality of the eternal and absolute Self, Atman, and the gradual permanence of this realization even in everyday life.

Legal action of our Czech member “Rezonance” against Jakub Jahl (Sobek), founder of Satan’s community [23 November]
One of our Atman members, the Spiritual School Rezonance, is currently the target of a systematic campaign that contains unfounded, false and reputationally damaging accusations, initiated by an individual known by the names Jakub Jahl or Jakub Sobek. His aggressive expressions on social networks, the YouTube platform and the paid platform HeroHero aims to seriously affect the reputation of the said school and at the same time negatively affect the living conditions of its teachers and students.
In addition to filming and publishing false videos on the aforementioned platforms, Jakub Jahl accompanies his offensive campaign by harassing students and supporters of the Rezonance Spiritual School on social networks, to whom he sends unsolicited messages en masse, publishes for the public teaching texts of the school protected by copyright [1], repeatedly on the internet under fake accounts, he uploads his videos and posts, which have been removed for violating the policies of the platforms or for violating copyright [2], repeatedly tries to damage the reputation of people who cooperate with the school [3], and places his false comments in publicly accessible groups on social networks, thus trying to ensure, despite the violation of the rules of these groups – at the expense of the Rezonance Spiritual School – a greater audience for his YouTube channel and the paid HeroHero channel.
A few days after the start of his malicious campaign, Rezonance even recorded and documented an attack on their school’s website. A similarly targeted hacker attack, where an unknown perpetrator tried to gain unauthorized access to the school’s internal data, including the private data of those interested in the courses, has never happened before in the entire 10-year existence of Rezonance’s web presentation.
In response to the stated situation, the Spiritual School Rezonance was forced to announce its intention to take all necessary legal steps against Jakub Jahl in order to defend and protect its reputation.
In the context of the above, they consider it appropriate to also express their opinion on the activities and personality of Jakub Jahl (Sobek). From publicly available sources, it can be learned about him that he is the founder of Satan’s community [4] and a notorious propagator of the ideology of Satanism [5]. His interest in what he calls a “cannibal sect” [6] is disturbing and extremely morbid. Jahl has committed extremist acts in the past, such as damaging the monument “Thank you, America!” [7], for which he was even legally convicted [8], or burning a leaflet with symbols resembling the flag of the State of Israel in front of a synagogue [9].
Articles in Novinky and the Epoch Times mention that he has a forensic psychiatric report stating that “he (Jahl) has a tendency to distort the facts and is unreliable as a witness.” [10] In addition, he makes no secret of his heavy drug use [11] and systematically promotes their legalization [12]. It is a mystery where this figure’s sudden interest in the Spiritual School Rezonance, with which she has never been in contact, came from.
The hatred spread by Jahl seeks to interfere in the lifes of many upright yoga practitioners.
Rezonance considers it necessary to make it clear that the information about Jakub Jahl’s participation in the activities that appeared in the Ministry of the Interior’s reports on extremism was drawn from the following sources:
- Ministry´s of Internal Affairs Report on Extremism 2012, p. 56, first paragraph from top. Download here.
- Art is DEFENSE (a facebook page managed by Jakub Jahl [13] reporting almost exclusively on his activist activities) states the following in a post containing the aforementioned excerpt from the Ministry of the Interior’s report on extremism: “The MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR designated us as LEX – or LEFT EXTREMISTS….. Several of our FB pages, such as the Movement for the Liberation of Consciousness (regarding the NWO and the Illuminati) and the Za Plzeň without snails and parasites page – a page dedicated to Pilsen politicians, were flagged as such.” See here.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE ABOUT A NEW VILE PLOT AGAINST SPIRITUALITY IN GENERAL AND AGAINST THE EMINENT YOGA TEACHER GREGORIAN BIVOLARU IN PARTICULAR [31 October]
Ms. Mădălina Dumitru is the author of an autobiographic book “The Broken Flight” (available on nathabooks.com) where she reveals the fabricated facts of authorities to attack the esoteric spiritual schools of the Atman Federation and the Eminent Yoga Teacher Gregorian Bivolaru.
She was recently contacted and offered large sums of money (350,000 Euro) in order to give a interview making false accusations against Mr. Bivolaru and against the esoteric spiritual schools which grew around his spiritual teachings. The caller told her that he is “part of the coordination team of a project that includes collecting such testimonies from other people”. The conversation was pointing to an upcoming media campaign, very likely in form of a defaming documentary, planned by those “enemies” of genuine spirituality, who are taking their machinations to a larger scale.
Therefore we expect a scandalous documentary filled with lies against the Eminent Yoga Teacher Gregorian Bivolaru and the esoteric spiritual schools which are members of the International Federation of Yoga and Meditation Atman (which is the legal body that teaches in accordance with his courses on yoga, tantra and other spiritual subjects).
Ms. Mădălina Dumitru refused the offer and decided to disclose this call, bringing it to the attention of the large public in order to warn the international community of the member schools of the Atman Federation about this mean initiative that is presently prepared. Not only Ms. Dumitru but also other students of our member schools have lately been contacted by journalists or people active on sensational social media channels with the same intentions.
You find her disclosure here: https://youtu.be/SDE8JrY5Fjg
Ms. Dumitru’s book about her entire story of abuses and tortures performed by the Romanian authorities is available as e-book on nathabooks.com/the-broken-flight. This book offers an important and first-hand insight into the mechanisms behind the scenes of the corruption of the Romanian justice system in regards to the yoga school and Mr. Gregorian Bivolaru, which obviously extends to a global level.
Similar situations happened in the case of other spiritual schools discriminated beyond any proofs or real facts, situations which resulted in a significant loss of students, damage of the public image etc.
Being prepared and knowing about such mean schemes plotted against esoteric schools of genuine spirituality (this time against the Atman Federation and Eminent Yoga Teacher Gregorian Bivolaru), we hope to prevent a lot of the damage that such vile and infamous actions intend to do.

SILENT MEDITATION RETREAT IN PARADISE RETREAT CENTER
We invite those of you in search of an oasis of peace, silence and introspection to join us for the Silent Meditation Retreat in the beautiful Danish countryside from 29th of December to 5th of January!

This exceptional retreat takes place over the New Year period, bringing to a close the year that has been while ushering in the coming year in profound states of silence and deep introspection.
This retreat is for those who are looking for an ambiance of peace & silence where they can dive into the depths of their heart & soul, meditate deeply, and charge the new year with spiritual growth & aspirations.
To be able to take the leap into the relatively unknown domain of meditation and inner reflection, there needs to be a call within.
For most of us, this means being able to quieten the mind enough in order to be able to hear that inner voice that calls us to such an experience, to make that choice to go deeper than our usual daily existence.
We invite you to start the new year in silence, to discover the treasures of your spiritual heart and its mysteries, and to explore the question: What would you find if you went just a little bit deeper?

A Return to Love
Falling in love is easy.
It is a gift we are given, a moment of grace.

This retreat will be a life changing journey through the mysteries of love, taking us beyond love consumerism, beyond instant gratification and quick fixes.
In this journey we will also explore what holds us back, why it is sometimes hard to return to love. It can be fears, projections, lack of self-awarness, immaturity, or simply not knowing how.

INTERNATIONAL KASHMIR SHAIVISM RETREAT [26 September]
8th – 12th of November 2023 – Online
with Adinathananda (Nicolae Catrina)
The tradition of Kashmir Shaivism is considered to be the most elevated, exquisite and pure form of Tantra, offering both a particularly complex metaphysics and some of the most direct, fast, complete, and extraordinary methods of spiritual accomplishment. The unique theoretical and practical framework of this spiritual retreat will give to all participants the possibility of easily stepping into superior, ecstatic states of consciousness, as well as accessing authentic forms of spiritual enlightenment.
In this retreat there will be offered new initiations and esoteric methods for accelerated spiritual awakening from the Kashmir Shaivism tradition, such as:
– Further initiation into the esotericism of Shiva-Bhairava;
– Introduction into the Tantric Esoteric tradition of an essential form of Mahashakti
– Traditional revelations regarding the mysterious universal creative energies (shaktis) – the Yoginis – that can trigger the awakening of the fundamental, endless occult energy kundalini shakti, and numerous extraordinary spiritual accomplishments as well;
– Effective ways for attaining spiritual Enlightenment, as well as the awakening and developing the condition of ideal Tantric femininity (the superior state of Shakti) for women and the ideal Tantric masculinity (the state of a Vira) for men; spiritual and emotional healing, regeneration, spiritual protection, karmic purification etc.;
THE PARTICIPATION TO THIS SPIRITUAL RETREAT WILL GRANT THE ACCESS TO THE SELECTION FOR THE INITIATION INTO A POWERFUL SECRET MANTRA OF SHIVA BHAIRAVA!
(This initiation will be offered shortly afterwards, at certain dates that will be announced in due time.)
Note: Although some of these initiations are continuations of the ones offered in previous retreats, they will be so presented and integrated that they can easily be assimilated and then practiced with full success by first-time participants!
Information about registration will follow.
Spiritual event "Walk for the World", Saturday 23 September, from 16:00 CEST [20 September]
On Saturday 23 September, starting at 16.00, Dr. Joe Dispenza is organising a spiritual event to which he has invited all those who wish to join him. The event is called “Walk for the World” and is being held for the transition of humanity into a brighter, more elevated and spiritual reality. Already many people from all over the world have announced their participation, and thanks to the force of the unison, the energy involved will be very powerful, so those who want to participate can join in supporting this action. Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work is known to many colleagues, especially as his method is a combination of well known practical methods in our yoga school.
The procedure consists of an internalized walk, while having a clear and firm intention, accompanied by some powerful, elevated, uplifting force ideas and by experiencing some emotions specific to these force ideas. Before we begin this action in unison, we will include starting at 15:55 the consecration of the fruits to God for helping to move humanity to a more elevated spiritual level.
Those who wish to take up this invitation can find more details about the modalities of the event on the walkforthe.world website, and the music support will be available from Thursday 21 September on the same website. Please note that the audio recording will be available in English.
Eminent Yoga Teacher Gregorian Bivolaru will also be supporting this action.
EXPERTS IN HUMAN RIGHTS, SOCIOLOGY AND RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT ABOUT GREGORIAN BIVOLARU, MISA AND ATMAN FEDERATION [17 September]
The ATMAN Federation is a non-profit organization uniting all international yoga schools that are teaching the curricula of the Integral Esoteric Yoga Course and follow the Gupta Maha Siddha Yoga lineage of its author, Gregorian Bivolaru. Since the beginning of his activity in Romania, Mr. Bivolaru and the yoga school he founded, MISA (the Movement for Spiritual Integration into the Absolute), have been and still are target of great defamations and severe abuses of human rights. While the mass media in Romania, and later on also in other countries, has contributed through their superficial journalism immensely to the unjust persecutions, the sincere evaluations of neutral experts like Massimo Introvigne, J. Gordon Melton and Gabriel Andreescu, show a very different picture, unfortunately little known. We present in the following a collection of articles and videos about MISA and Gregorian Bivolaru.
Swedish expert, Karl Erik Nylund’s report on MISA and Gregorian Bivolaru
Nylund’s report was one of the main defense evidence in the extradition trial ruled on by the Supreme Court in Stockholm on October 12th 2005, which decided finally and irreversibly to decline Romania’s extradition request. Nylund has clearly proven with his investigations that MISA is not a radical religious group, nor a manipulative sect.

The Swedish Asylum Case of Gregorian Bivolaru, 2005
When Gregorian Bivolaru was granted asylum in 2005, an important precedent was established by the Supreme Court of Sweden, by underlining that leaders of spiritual movements accused of common crimes not directly related to religion cannot expect a fair trial in countries where an obvious prejudice against their religious beliefs and practices exist.

Recent article from Massimo Introvigne about Netflix – a threat to religious liberty
‘Sensational TV series about religious leaders sentenced for sexual abuse are broadcast without considering that they wreak havoc in the lives of their innocent followers.’

“Sacred Sexuality within Contemporary Esoteric Groups. From Early 20th Century Origins to MISA”
Academic analysis of Massimo Introvigne, sociologist of religion and intellectual property attorney. MISA, founded by Gregorian Bivolaru is the largest group teaching sacred eroticism today. One of the reasons of the scandals that were launched against it and its founder is the association between spirituality and eroticism, thus challenging general worldviews. In reality, the courses on love, eroticism and sexuality represent a very small part of the teachings of the school.

Introduction: The Radical Aesthetics of a Romanian Esoteric Movement
This issue of The Journal of CESNUR explores the history, doctrines, and controversies of MISA, arguing that its teachings cannot be reduced to a doctrine of sexuality only and propose a “radical aesthetics” that also explains the reactions by both its religious and secular opponents.

Sex, Erotic Art, and the Repression of Alternative Movements: The Strange Case of an Esoteric Movie Director
The movies and shows created by a group of artists which are students of MISA were not made to generate significant income, nor as a recruitment tool. They have an educational role, expressing their own personal beliefs and beneficial experiences as a result of tantra yoga practice.

MISA, Gregorian Bivolaru & Yoga Practitioners in Romania
Willy Fautré, director of Human Rights Without Frontiers International (Brussels), speaks about how the long judicial harassment of Gregorian Bivolaru on numerous charges, the questionable proceedings and the conduct of many Romanian media outlets are a matter of grave concern for HRWF Int’l. The persecutions faced by MISA yoga practitioners for over 20 years have been amplified by an escalating social panic on television, on the radio and in the printed press.
