MAHA GUPTA SIDDHA YOGA [17 February]

SIDDHI – the perfect paranormal accomplishments – in TANTRA
3-day Intensive Immersion

with PREMANANDA (ANDREI POPA)
in English
Friday-Sunday 23-25 February, Bucharest area

Can be also joined ONLINE

You are warmly invited to an intensive Tantra immersion centered on the mysterious and fascinating universe of SIDDHI, the perfect paranormal accomplishments, or paranormal powers, which are an essential part of our spiritual lineage of the Maha Gupta Siddha Yoga, an extraordinarily powerful, rich, profound and effective form of esoteric Tantra and in the same time esoteric Integral Yoga.

This is the first module of a longer and very comprehensive series of courses, immersions, camps and retreats dedicated to these extraordinary practices.

All subjects will be covered in the sense of explaining and profound understanding, but also in the sense of esoteric practice leading to concrete effective results. Here are a few of the topics:

SIDDHI and MOKSHA: In the same way in which MOKSHA (the state of supreme spiritual liberation) is seen in Tantra in conjunction with BHOGA (the ecstatic savoring and enjoyment), from a more advanced perspective, MOKSHA is in conjunction with SIDDHI, the perfect paranormal accomplishment.

Understanding the enormous multitude and variety of SIDDHIS (perfect paranormal accomplishments) and how to develop, use and integrate them for helping our spiritual evolution, rising above the ego, expressing our profound personality and thus offering altruistic help to others.

Conditions, strategies and practices needed to develop the inner, occult power necessary for awakening SIDDHI

SIDDHI and KUNDALINI: the ways of operating with the awakened KUNDALINI in order to facilitate the development of various SIDDHIS

How to use the foundations of the Tantric practice, the pure erotic energy, perfect erotic continence, transmutation, sublimation, transfiguration, pure love, in order to awaken and develop easily and harmoniously multiple SIDDHIS

SIDDHIS and the crucial importance of the integration with the Will of GOD: correlations with the art of Consecration, the occult method of the Lightning Rod, the fundamentals of Yama and Niyama.

SIDDHIS and the GODLY ATTRIBUTES: The mysterious ways in which the sublime, endless energies of the GODLY ATTRIBUTES can help the aspirant awaken much easier a variety of perfect paranormal accomplishments – SIDDHIS

SIDDHIS and the MAHAVIDYAS: The ten Great Macrocosmic Powers can provide an immense and hugely complex help in order to both advance towards the ultimate spiritual liberation, but also to develop various SIDDHIS.

SIDDHIS and the TANTRIC RITUAL: Esoteric tantric methods that immensely increase our inner occult energy and allow the channeling through our being of great perfect paranormal manifestations.

SAMYAMA, the perfect yogic identification, as a key method to develop a wide variety of SIDDHIS.

Mapping the manifestation of SIDDHIS on the various CHAKRAS, in various KOSHAS (the energetic sheaths of our inner being), NADIS (channels of energy). Examples of important SIDDHIS and a comprehensive list of these perfect paranormal accomplishments.

Starting of the practical training for a number of useful SIDDHIS, including precise techniques, practical exercises and exemplifications.

The program will be 10am to 8pm, with a 2 hour lunch break. A yogic lunch, tea and snacks are included.
There will be an Early Bird price until 10 February.
Contact us for details on Whatsapp or Telegram at +40721359870
We look forward to see you all soon!

Release of new interview of Prof. Massimo Introvigne by Soteria International [4 February]

“Abuse of Weakness” or “Brainwashing” – Does It Really Exist?

In December 2023, the French parliament debated to reintroduce or not the controversial law of mental manipulation. This law has a history in France.

In France, as prof Massimo Introvigne wrote in his article “France Plans to Make a Bad Law Worse – the anti-cult About-Picard law is ineffective against real abuses and dangerous for religious liberty. The government wants to make it even more dangerous.” the situation of spiritual communities becomes increasingly difficult.

Considering the similarities and repetition of the police raids upon spiritual communities, in different countries, a certain question is rising: are NRM – New Religious Movements or spiritual communities in danger? Their struggle in the current antagonistic climate of state and mass media is reaching higher levels.

It is necessary to open up to see the comprehensive perspective offered through academic studies, to understand that people who join spiritual movements are normal people, merely having their particular beliefs or practices. And as long as they respect the laws of their country they should enjoy freedom, respect and social protection, just like any other citizen. Yet the repetitive police raids and their scandalous presentation in mass media tell a different story…

Part 1
http://soteriainternational.org/quotabuse-of-weaknessquot-or-quotbrainwashingquot-does-it-really-exist

Part 2
http://soteriainternational.org/quotabuse-of-weaknessquot-or-quotbrainwashingquot-a-new-threat-to-spirituality

Part 3
http://soteriainternational.org/abuse-of-weakness-new-struggles-of-spiritual-movements

SOTERIA International sustains a deeper understanding and a broader perspective on the freedom of conscience and belief and aims towards acknowledgement that spirituality cannot be regarded as a separate practice, but is rather integrated in all individual and social activities. People and Organisation with sincere spiritual intentions should enjoy the same respect and social protection as traditional religious practices.

2 Unison intervals for the tapas of Laya Yoga with mantra AUM starting with 1 February [1 February]

At the request of several colleagues, starting February 1 we will have a second Laya Yoga interval in unison with the AUM mantra from 07:00-07:30 CET. The other one already established is 22:45-23:15 CET.

Two new exceptional actions in unison, starting 6 January [5 January]

Starting Saturday, January 6, we will be carrying out in unison two new actions, based on the manuscripts of Eminent Yoga Teacher Gregorian Bivolaru.

These actions will take place daily, from 18:30 – 19:33 CET, on MISA TV:

The Method for the Total Annihilation of Evil in the ambience of this blue planet (on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays)

The Method for the evocation and supplication of the manifestation of the Godly Enigmatic Law of Limit (on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays)

For each of these two new actions, please consider the following recommendation:

In order to contribute to the beneficial, divine effects that this divinely integrated and extremely important action implies, we ask you to participate as many as possible, as many as possible, each time, in this essential manifestation in order to trigger as quickly as possible in the planet’s environment transformations that are directly proportional to the number of human beings who mobilize and put, again and again, with much enthusiasm and perseverance in action this very powerful esoteric method. Just as the previous Benevolent Revolt has borne immense fruit, so will this method bear much needed fruit.
If all of us who know do not act, no one else will. Only if we ask God for His benevolent help does He give it to us.
If we ask God for help in this way, we can be sure in advance that He gives it to us in every way through His Omnipotence.

Modifications in the weekly unison programme:

From Saturday 6 January, actions in support of the recognised hero and to avoid war in Romania will no longer take place.

The action of justified beneficial revolt will take place on Saturdays and Sundays from 14:00 CET.

The schedule on MISA Sensational TV for Saturday 6 January and Sunday 7 January is currently being updated.

PROJECT TO PROMOTE OUR SCHOOL’S TEACHINGS ONLINE [4 January]

We would like to announce the launch, at the initiative of some colleagues, of a project to promote the teachings of Eminent Yoga Teacher Gregorian Bivolaru and our yoga school on social media channels (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.) in order to reach as many people as possible. At the same time, in this way we aim to make sure that the public forms a correct impression of who we are and what we do in this spiritual school.

The project will consist in creating and spreading, nationally and internationally, on social media and on websites belonging to MISA and member schools of the Atman Federation, as many videos as possible to popularize the teachings of our school, accessible to a wide segment of the population, on topics such as:
– Consecration
– The Art of Blessing
– The Godly Attributes
– Simple yoga techniques that can be practised by anyone
– The Great Macrocosmic Powers
– Shivaism
– Materials to promote the initiations offered at yogic holiday camps (e.g. initiation into communion with Kalki, with Indra, into the beneficial state of romantic trance, etc.)

"Who protects us from the police? - Part 1" [22 December]

The first episode (of a longer series) with testimonies of the persons who were the targets of the French police raids on 28 November. Now with English subtitles:

Translation of Press Release of MISA: Details of the situation in France [22 December]

Following the numerous and justified requests and questions we have received regarding the situation of Eminent Yoga Teacher Gregorian Bivolaru and the evolution of events in France in connection with the large-scale police operation on 28 November, it is necessary to make a few clarifications.

At the moment what is called a penal investigation is being carried out (the term used in France is instruction, in case you come across this word in the press). This involves specific activities that are not visible to the general public or the press, so it is not appropriate to imagine that the press will provide us with relevant and real information at this time. We already know that a large part of the Romanian media is eager for scandals to increase their audience or website traffic, which is why they are now resuming (and amplifying) the sensationalist stories of past years, and not because they have new information. And the fact that our viewpoints rarely appear or are twisted in the press does not mean that we don’t report them, but simply that they are not interested in the truth. As proof, in the many shows, talk shows etc. where they discuss ABOUT us, they never discuss WITH us.

– Such activities take some time to complete, so it is to be expected that new information will not appear every few days.

– The content of the documents in the file is secret. The only people who have access to this information are the French lawyers, who obviously have a professional obligation not to disclose anything. It is therefore impossible at this stage to answer any questions on this subject. There are also some “leaks” in the press from the French police, but as we have no information, we cannot even estimate to what extent these are real or not.

– We assure you, however, that the information we are passing on to you, even if it is less than we would like, is accurate and relevant, so please do not encourage or spread the rumours that may appear, and even less malicious criticism. If you would like to verify a particular piece of information, or if you have any uncertainties, please send questions to contact@misa.yoga.

As soon as we have new information, we will communicate it. And in the meantime, let’s all aim to put into practice the transformative spiritual teachings we have access to.

Thank you for your understanding.

ShambalaTV.ro, a new platform to deepen the communion with the World of Shambala and the King of the World [22 December]

A multitude of written and audio-video materials related to the World of Shambala will be added to this website in a gradual manner so that it can be accessible to all in an easy manner.

The French police raid on 28 November resulted in not even one alleged “victim” of Gregorian Bivolaru – Press Release of MISA Yoga School [13 December]

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-unde-sunt-victimele

Accusations flow in the media. Where are the “victims” though?

The French police raid on 28 November 28 resulted in not even one alleged “victim” of Gregorian Bivolaru

Since Tuesday, November 28, a large part of the media in Romania and various international publications have been systematically circulating a huge amount of unfounded accusations and claims, based on so-called “investigative reports” by some French journalists or on old articles related to the previous fabricated files against Gregorian Bivolaru in Romania. In addition, the same so-called “victims” come to the fore, again and again, with absurd and sensational stories, trying to provoke hatred, indignation, revulsion, demonize thousands of yoga practitioners. However, the case in which Gregorian Bivolaru and 20 other yoga practitioners were accused of human trafficking ended in 2021 with the acquittal of all accused after 17 years of trial. The justice decided that the facts did not exist, in conclusion there were no “victims” of those non-existent facts.

In the past two weeks it has been repeatedly claimed in the media that French police raids have led to the “liberation” of 26 people who had been “kidnapped”, “abused”, “raped”, used as “sex slaves”, “trafficked” by “members of a sect”, etc. Along with these 26 “victims”, another 41 people were detained, alleged “aggressors” and “human traffickers”. Strangely, from November 28 until today, no journalist seems to be interested in what “shocking testimonies” and “incriminating statements” the 26 victims gave against Gregorian Bivolaru or other people in the “criminal gang”.

The reality, which the lawyers of Gregorian Bivolaru and the other 5 people who are still detained at this moment (out of the 41) described in great detail to French journalists, and which did not appear anywhere in the mass media(!), is that none of the 26 alleged “victims” gave any statement against Gregorian Bivolaru or any other person, none considered themselves “exploited”, “abused”, “trafficked” or the victim of any “rape”. However, they all complained about the inhumane treatment they were subjected to by the French police: they were taken out of the house in handcuffs; they were kept for hours almost naked, some barefoot, in temperatures slightly above zero degrees; at the police station they were sat directly on the floor; their money, phones, and in some cases even jewellery were confiscated; they did not receive food and water for dozens of hours; they were denied access to a lawyer, under the pretext that they are “victims” (or possibly witnesses) and therefore do not need a lawyer (in some situations they were even told that they do not have the right to a lawyer); they were given a standard declaration form to sign with the fields already filled in; because they refused, they were insulted and threatened; in the end, because the “victims” refused to “cooperate” and the police did not achieve their goal of obtaining incriminating statements, they returned their IDs and literally left them on the street, without money, without phones, dozens of kilometres from the homes where they had been picked up. Obviously, this is an appropriate treatment for criminals, not for the so-called “victims”, who in addition are supposed to be already “traumatized” from the abuses they have been subjected to.

Regarding the various accusations and statements appearing in the press, we specify that the criminal investigation process is ongoing, that all the information in the file is secret, only the lawyers have access to it, and they are obliged to keep it secret. So any statements regarding the contents of the file, witness statements, possible evidence, etc. are nothing more than speculation. Although there are some indications of leaks from the French police, they have no way of fuelling the amount of claims circulated by the media during this period.

We invite journalists concerned with the truth to ask themselves this question and look for the answer: where are the much trumpeted “victims” of Gregorian Bivolaru? You will find that they are rather victims of French police brutality, as several of them have recently told us. We are attaching some excerpts (unedited) from the transcript of these accounts.

MISA press office
December 12, 2023

Unedited excerpts from the transcript of the accounts of some of the so-called “victims of human trafficking”, “freed” by the French police

…A friend of mine, even though she opened the room for them, they pounced on her, knocked her down and put handcuffs on her.

…They kept us in the cold, they yelled at us. We were out in the garden at the end of November exactly as we were dressed and some were even barefoot for over an hour. There were people who asked to give them something from the house to get a coat for them and they just weren’t interested.

…They took us to a room, a room in the basement, to keep us all, and literally we were trying to help each other and every person who went to the basement, because he was no longer in the garden, they were looking to take off a vest or a coat or something they had on and give it to someone else who was still undressed and still standing in the cold… because we didn’t know how long it was going to take. They didn’t tell us anything, we kept asking them if they had a warrant, why they came to us, what was going on, and they didn’t pay attention to us. They were simply saying that it’s the judicial police and that they’re right and that they know what they’re doing and that everything is legal and that we don’t have the right to any lawyer, we don’t need to ask for any warrant, we don’t need to receive any kind of information.

…They came with their personal phones to take pictures of us, to send to their friends, or maybe to the newspapers, we have no way of knowing.

…They were photographing each of us individually as if…we were criminals.

…They were masked from head to toe and were very aggressive.

…They laughed at us and said “But how, we came to free you, to do you a favour”. And we said “But what good are you doing me, because I’m here, I’m sleeping, I have my things, nobody bothers me with anything, and you take me, threaten me with a gun, keep me naked in the cold, take me I don’t know where, what kind of freedom is this?” And they didn’t care, they confiscated our documents, they confiscated our phones, so we couldn’t get in touch with anyone…

…They said they came to save us, but they behaved as if we were criminals or had done something bad, they didn’t even leave us alone in the bathroom, they came with us to the bathroom.

…They took all our ID cards, they also took our phones, they told us to take our valuables and pack a small bag, because they were going to take us to another place, to a city where we will be…

…They put us in a bus, they escorted us with sirens and in the bus we were asking “But what’s going on? Where are you taking us and what do you want from us?”

…One of the policewomen told the three of us…how would there be three indictments in that operation, we were simply amazed, we said “But what do we have to do with such a thing?” they said, “You’re the victims,” “Victims of who?… Just that… you’ve taken away our freedom, you’ve taken away our papers, you’ve taken away our electronics, and we can’t know what’s going on, for a couple of hours.”

…But we don’t know your law very well, we don’t understand your language very well, we need a lawyer’s advice, so I don’t feel safe talking to someone whose language I don’t know and I don’t know the legislation very well, without consulting a lawyer.

…They took us from a place where we were calm, we had our lives and we were good, we had everything, and they threw us into the street in a foreign country.

…And at one point when we were at the police station, we were told that a representative of an association that protects victims would come. When that person came, she introduced herself, but she introduced herself to the translators, not to us, she didn’t even look at us. She said that she offers us… she represents an association that protects victims, she came to explain our rights as victims and give us shelter, but she conditioned us to speak. To divulge information.

…They had given us some horrible forms, something like we are witnesses and to say what we know about rapes, abduction of people, about some terrible accusations, it wasn’t… it wasn’t a statement in which you give your name and surname, the number of phone number, email address, where you’ve been, where you’re going, so they can get in touch with you, there were ten pages of very strange accusations and they told us they’re not giving us our documents back, they’re not giving us our phones, they’re not going to let us go, they will interrogate us separately and arrest us if we do not sign those statements. I mean they didn’t behave in any human way, like someone who cares for someone, who helps someone, it was an aberration, it was of the utmost hypocrisy, so they were absolutely horrible, you don’t treat anyone like that, it was inhuman, you just don’t do that.

…They started yelling at us, punching the table, saying that they are tired, that they started preparing for this operation at 2:30 in the morning and they want to go home, that they behaved nice with us and let’s see how they will be if we don’t do what they want.

…When we refused to sign those forms that were so strange and had nothing to do with reality, they started separating us and interrogating us and yelling at us and punching the table and telling us that we are not accused of anything, and it is a perfectly normal operation and we do not need any lawyer.

…They took away our identity documents or passports, our phones were taken, during all this time they continued to search the house, the whole atmosphere was so… of ordeal, of very loud noises, of screams, I mean, I don’t know, just like in the police films where they are… that is, that are about arms and drug dealers, which was not the case with us and we were not in this category.

…Initially we were told to read, and only to sign these documents f we wanted to. After… after a certain time when some of the people who were taken separately for questioning were returning, others were leaving, the Romanian translator who was also probably a police officer came and said why… she asked if anyone signed and I said no and she said why, that it is mandatory, and she started screaming that it is mandatory to sign these papers, and that it is mandatory, mandatory. After that we said no that it is optional, only if we want to sign and that it is not mandatory. She also started shouting that it is mandatory and she is talking to her colleagues. Later she left… and never came back.

…I asked if it was mandatory to sign, they said “no, no, no”, let’s read and sign, so we read to see what it was about and after that we refused to sign, we returned all the pages. After that another person came and said “Why didn’t you sign?” and she was so aggressive somehow. I said that I had asked and that it was not mandatory to sign, she was very angry and nervous and was puffing like that, you could see it on her… And she gave us another set of documents, this document if we signed it said “witness” at the top. After that they gave us another set of documents that were not even translated, the other documents were translated into Romanian, but the second set of documents were only in French. I didn’t even sign that document, because I didn’t understand it, it was in another language and… but we were scared, because we didn’t know what would happen, they would take us to interrogate us, to intimidate us…

…The whole atmosphere, from the beginning, how they rushed at us, yelling screaming, shouting, with the breaking of doors and further the aggressiveness with which they somehow forced us to sign and give statements were somehow the opposite of what they said to us [nb that we were victims], it was such an atmosphere of terror somehow, they verbally assaulted us and wanted to intimidate us into saying I don’t know what or signing what they needed.

…They kept us for several hours, almost… so from 6 in the morning, around 9-10 in the evening they let us go, luckily they returned our phones, but what to do, during the night where to go…

…I asked if we were accused or what was going on and they said not yet, not for now.

Centered in our Self, realizing together the NEW YEAR’S EXEMPLIFICATIONS, supported by an exceptional spiritual field, with clear, beneficial, spiritual intentions, we will have a superior auspicious vector for a SPIRITUAL, FRUITFUL BEGINNING, PERFECTLY GODLY INTEGRATED, WHEN PASSING INTO THE NEW YEAR, 2024.

We will practice daily the 14-stage method of Revelation of the Immortal Godly Self, Atman, a method given to us by eminent yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru, for increasingly longer periods of time, so that in the last days of the retreat we reach extraordinary profound levels, which will facilitate total melting and abandonment in the Undifferentiated, Supreme Consciousness of God the Father.

For those who want to achieve high-quality introspection with the 14-step method and to have a very good state and godly integration during these wonderful days of spiritual retreat spent together, OPTIONALLY, every morning we will realize a spiritual program of Hatha Yoga that we will practice together in UNISON, with profound awareness related to the practice of VIJNANASANA.

This support will also include: the MAHAMUDRA technique, the LIGHTNING ROD technique and before each spiritual exemplification a special (legal) herbal mixture carefully prepared to support certain profound and high states of consciousness will be administered (free of charge), this mixture being of real help, sustaining us to approach from another, much higher level, the contemplative introspection.

Those who will participate in this camp will receive a spiritual gift: a crystal charged by eminent yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru with: THE STATE OF ULTIMATE SUPREME SPIRITUAL LIBERATION.

Those who will participate in both modules will also receive a second crystal charged by eminent yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru with: THE STATE OF TOTAL AND PROFOUND REVELATION OF THE IMMORTAL GODLY SELF, ATMAN.

The spiritual program and all integration of this spiritual retreat is subtly supported by by eminent yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru.

We are waiting with much love for you to join us!

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 eminent 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.

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.

“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.
