Unknown truths regarding The International Yoga
Federation
Significant issues related to the dirty games played
behind the scenes by The International Yoga Federation
and not only... As I have personally witnessed in the
past 4 years
by Mihai Stoian, representative
of ATMAN
World Federation for
Yoga and Meditation
|
To understand the strange phenomena which now occur
regarding the altercations between International Yoga
Federation (IYF) and European Yoga Alliance (EYA) on
the one hand and our school MISA yoga with its branches
on the other hand; I consider that we should know the
facts that have been occurring over a long time and
are now similarly repeating... This proves without any
possible doubt a certain way the secret organizations
work in reducing spirituality to silence, our authentic
yoga school represents a real threat to such organizations.
The motto for such presentations would be: "Even
regarding the manipulation and dirty games behind the
scenes history repeats…”
We also want to make these revelations because the
success of these villainous intrigues of these organizations
rely on the fact that people do not know how they operate
and therefore do not realize that things are repeated
following a precise plan, that they are applying their
dirty games behind the scenes to keep down the triumph
of spirituality on this planet.
The facts are as follows: MISA along with many of its
branches including NATHA became members with full rights
since 2004 in the International Yoga Federation (IYF)
and European Yoga Federation (EYF).
| It followed a period of fruitful collaboration
so that knowing us better the governing council
IYF agreed to host the first Congress of the European
Federation of Yoga in Bucharest in 2005. At this
Council meeting, held in Argentina in 2005, I was
there when Board of the IYF designated Swami Suryananda
as the organizer of this Congress and the official
representative of the IYF for the Congress in November
2005 in Bucharest. |

(http://www.europeanyogafederation.net/CongressBucarest.htm)
And then followed this memorable first congress of
the European Yoga Federation (EYF) organized by MISA
in Bucharest, which enjoyed a huge success! Even during
the Congress the President of IYF (at that time) Swami
Maitreyananda congratulated us on how well this first
Congress took place, with a participation of more than
3,000 people in 3 days of the Congress. Although we
have participated at all World and European congresses
of IYF, EYF or EYA from 2004 until 2008 we have not
personally seen such an event! We have film documentation
and photos from these events IYF or EYA where you can
see that participation was no more than 100 people!
In the last day of the Congress, Swami Maitreyananda
wanted to congratulate us himself during the last workshops
(live by telephone) for our activity and gave us the
news that our Master Gregorian Bivolaru was elected
as a lifetime member of the World Yoga Council because
of its remarkable merits in promoting spirituality in
general and yoga path in particular –(click here
to hear the live recording of this event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-Ce-54YtMo)
As an official Congress of the European Yoga Federation
and having an outstanding international participation
in the workshops there were constructive discussions
about improving the collaboration between different
yoga schools in the European Federation (FEY) also other
decisions were voted in accordance with the statute
of the Federation, being perfectly valid.
Once the Congress finished, we naturally remained very
good friends with all those who participated and have
continued a close collaboration with them regarding
the IYF and EYF, but we were witnesses of very strange
events which began a short time afterwards.
These events are not known, this is why we want to
make them public here, because they definitely prove
that a dirty game is continuing behind the scenes regarding
the promotion of authentic spirituality by our MISA
Yoga School together with its branches. Suddenly, on
the Federations’ forums (both World and European)
a series of slanderous and derogatory emails started
to appear, in which the authority of the Congress from
Bucharest was fiercely contested! Apparently, these
emails came from some members of the mentioned Federations
(IYF and EYF).
The accusations were very serious, among others stating
that the "Congress has not been authorized by IYF"
(which was completely aberrant, as I was even there
when it was approved!!!) because the conditions required
by the statute were not fulfilled, or even, believe
it or not (!) that Swami Suryananda had no authority
to organize and represent the IYF at that Congress!
All these aberrant things were so strange for us, especially
because I was there in person at IYF councils that authorized
the Congress from Bucharest and Suryananda as the official
representative and fully empowered with organizing and
decision-taking on behalf IYF and IYF (by that time)
President Swami Maitreyananda.
One of the vehement points against the Congress 2005
in Bucharest was, to our great surprise, THAT WE HAVE
NOT ORGANIZED THE SPORTS YOGA CONTEST! But at that time,
IT WAS NEVER MENTIONED IN ANY OF THE OFFICIAL MEETINGS
CONCERNING THE ORGANIZATION OF THE CONGRESS, that we
would be obliged in any way to organize “yoga
competitions”. However since December 2005 this
miserable slander, disruption and abusive manipulation
using the federation regulations of Yoga Sports Federation
(that had not even been invited to Bucharest) - proved
to be the classical "procedure" of the workings
of the ones who act from the shadows against spirituality
and the authentic Yoga movement in general, and MISA
in particular.
The harsh exchange of messages continued, Swami Suryananda
left for India and he was unable to intervene promptly
on the Internet, he did not reply or pay attention to
those embarrassing calumnies, assuming they were probably
a mistake (as he mentioned during some telephone conversations
that we had).
I personally went to Milan to talk to him, wanting
to clear this absolutely abnormal situation, and he
took a nuanced position, even reconciliatory and he
told me that he trusted the people of the IYF that he
knew and had collaborated with for a long time and that
he is waiting for emails to cease, because most likely
they were the dirty actions of some hackers who want
to create confusion in the federation. But the messages
have not stopped but on the contrary, they have continued
for 2 more months and the allegations inside them were
becoming increasingly more serious, until the point
were they say that Swami Suryananda wants to split the
International Federation in two, although there he represented
the Federation itself (as the records we have prove
this without a doubt) and he had the mandates signed
by the IYF members as he represented them and is very
clear that he had not breached any of his mandate.
At the beginning it was only the Congress and the authenticity
of Swami Suryananda that were being attacked, gradually
and insidiously in these allegations MISA began to appear
among the guilty parts. After a while it appeared that
MISA has diverted this Congress and MISA wants to take
over the European Federation (!) (although, this is
a another aberrant accusation to us, as we had no official
position there, besides that of Mihai Stoian as honorary
secretary for the Scandinavian countries, and Grieg's
acceptance in the World Yoga Council).
It should be mentioned here the fairness of Swami Suryananda
who in Bucharest in November 2005 even said that although
we worked so well together showing seriousness and devotion
for the federation, and he personally would have wanted
for us to have more representatives in IYF and EYF forums,
that it is not possible because we have not been members
for three years.
In the light of these facts for which we have evidence:
audio and video recordings and testimonials of dozens
of people, it appears that all allegations spread in
those emails were very strange.
At a certain moment, several members of the European
Federation, among which we mention the Yoghiraj Habib
BA (Spain), Mayte Criado (Italy), Mimoun Boulahfa asked
openly to cease the calumnies related to the Congress
at Bucharest in 2005. To all our amazement, all these,
together with Swami Suryananda and Yogacharini Pandit
Gayatri Devi HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE IYF! Moreover
even EUROPEAN YOGA FEDERATION (EYF), which was the EUROPEAN
part of the International Yoga Federation (IYF) HAS
BEEN EXCLUDED FROM IYF! This way European Yoga Alliance
appeared as the European part of the International Yoga
Federation.
This aberration and serious violation of a fully-entitled
membership status of the European Federation headed
by Suryananda inside the international federation, since
then we were able to foresee very strange maneuvers
behind the scenes of the so-called democracy promoted
by IYF.
Because MISA and its branches continued to be members
in both federations, after a short while we were strictly
urged to choose which federation to continue with, because
the two are no longer compatible and no longer support
each other!
At that time I still considered that the conflict did
not concern us as a spiritual school and was only a
consequence of the behind the scenes games of certain
bad-intentioned people who aimed to manipulate the opinion
of the Governing Council of IYF for obscure intentions...
So we have chosen to continue our cooperation with IYF
even hoping that the conflict will reconcile in time
and all will return to the terms of collaboration.
As we will see in the following text there is very
clear evidence that both members of International Yoga
Federation Council and the people around them are involved
in certain activities that discredit the spiritual authentic
movements and seriously prejudice The Movement for Spiritual
Integration in Absolute, MISA.
After a series of calumnious emails discrediting Swami
Suryananda’s authority and also those who supported
the Congress in Bucharest, what followed (as we illustrated
before) was the exclusion of The European Yoga Federation
from International Yoga Federation, European Yoga Federation
being subtly replaced by the European Yoga Alliance,
so International Yoga Federation got much closer to
the European Yoga Union, a structure which until now
remained far from the International Yoga Federation.
It is very interesting that on the Council of the European
Yoga Union were Sri Ajita and Mario Sorin Vasilescu
from Romania, people that will later play an important
role in the situation that we want to clarify here.
After, we were asked to clarify our position regarding
the affiliation to International Yoga Federation or
European Yoga Federation, we chose to continue to collaborate
further with International Yoga Federation as we previously
presented, because we have good intentions to promote
spirituality and Yoga practice on this planet and also
we seriously believe that once we start something which
we consider beneficial, it is important to continue
with it. We also consider that the abnormal situation
which appeared relating to the Congress in Bucharest,
2005, is an error that could be resolved.
Nevertheless, to elucidate more I went to Swami Suryananda
in Italy trying to clarify what was behind these events.
From the discussions we had (in his home) it was obvious
to observe the manipulation and an operational plan
of those who wanted to divide the federation. Swami
Suryananda even showed me his computer in which he kept
all the calumnious correspondences related to the Congress
in Bucharest and the consequent responses to it; from
this archive it was very clear that people inside International
Yoga Federation acted on purpose to create this confusion
by slandering Swami Suryananda, the Congress and MISA
Yoga School.
Then I had meetings with Swami Maitreyananda who at
that time was the President of the International Yoga
Federation and indeed he confessed he also presumed
that there are people inside International Yoga Federation
playing this strange game and thus the unfair exclusion
of the European Yoga Federation from the international
one is not Swami Suryananda’s fault. Although,
Swami Maitreyananda’s behavior was quite undecided
regarding reestablishing connections with Swami Suryananda,
we offered to mediate things in order to resolve this
strange situation, but he said he is waiting for a good
moment when they will meet for a congress, probably
in Europe.
| In the meantime on the
occasion of The World Congress December 2006, Delhi,
of the International Yoga Federation, we proposed
to organize the next European Congress in Copenhagen.
They agreed that we should organize the European
forum of the international federation, but this
time under the patronage of European Yoga Alliance
(EYA) and European Yoga Union (EYU). |
|
I have to admit that at that time I didn’t pay
much attention to the arrangements about whose patronage
we were indicated to organize the European congress
of the federation, being convinced that we all act for
yoga and developing spiritual systems.
On the same occasion we announced the way in which
we would organize the yoga competitions that usually
accompany the congress, and we were approved without
opposition. Nobody enforced any rule or restriction
regarding the way we choose to keep the next congress
in Copenhagen.
Thus, in May 2007 in Copenhagen Euro Yoga 2007 took
place. Again, the Congress was a big success, at this
Congress Carlos Miguel participated, (President of the
EYA), Sri Ajita (who meanwhile became the president
of the European Yoga Council) and also honorary guest
Swamini Dayananda, (who meanwhile became the president
of the International Yoga Federation.)

We have to underline here that Swamini Dayananada is
a faithful and devoted disciple of Swami Maitreyananda.
I think this detail is important in this presentation.
She stated very clearly that, even she is the present
president of the IYF, and cannot take any decision without
closer consulting her Master, Swami Maitreyananda.
During the Congress in Copenhagen, all the guests were
enchanted by the way in which NATHA took care of the
good running of the congress, moreover, all the representatives
of EYA and IYF had nothing against organizing that yoga
contest in a different way from the Yoga Federation
of Sports. Here we remember that we organized a contest
named “esoteric yoga” trying to show the
people from IYF, EYF and also the other guests how we
understand the promotion of authentic yoga according
to the teachings of our school. In that evening, after
the competitions ended, we had fruitful meetings in
which we were congratulated for this competition
(for the seriousness of the participants – mostly
from our school, for their capacity of concentration
and execution of Hatha Yoga proceedings for a long duration
– such as Shirshasana (standing on the head) for
more than one hour continuously! and so on.
None of the participants of the European Yoga Congress
from Copenhagen representing EYA and IYF (not even the
president Swamini Dayananda) objected about the organized
competitions. Moreover, prepossessed by the very serious
spiritual activity of NATHA Yoga School in Denmark,
Swamini Dayananda awarded us a special diploma, including
our recognition in the IYF which we still have - without
the necessity of paying annual taxes for 2008!!!
After ending the congress in Copenhagen, IYF and EYA
representatives sent us warm thanks and congratulations
for the success of the event.
So things developed and in order to contribute to the
international spiritual development under the patronage
of IYF, knowing how much work and cost such an event
implies, having certain experience we proposed to keep
a World Congress of IYF in Bucharest. First, they said
that all International Yoga Federation congresses were
agreed until 2012 or 2013 for certain countries. Then
after a while they said that the country who offered
to host the 2008 world congress had cancelled it (India)
so they proposed to us that this congress to be in Bucharest.
The official confirmation that Romania and MISA will
organize the International Congress of IYF in 2008 was
given to the International Yoga Congress 2007 in Mexico,
in which our colleague Andrei Gamulea participated.
With this confirmation we made plans for the future
congress in Romania. With this opportunity, inspired
by our Master Grieg, was decided to propose not organizing
sports and artistic yoga contest, but to go on a spiritual
line much closer to authentic yogic tradition.
To clarify and obtain all approvals from the IYF council,
Adina and I decided to go in November 2007 in Uruguay
to another International Congress of the IYF, to which
Swami Maitreyananda (president of the International
Council of the IYF) and Swamini Dayananda (at that moment
president of the IYF) participated, especially to discuss
the unfolding of the future congress in Romania and
to deliver Grieg’s message regarding this event.
Speaking with Swami Maitreyananda and Swamini Dayananda
in Montevideo, they publicly both agreed (there are
several witnesses to this discussion) that a sports
yoga contest is not a spiritual event and that Grieg
was right when he stated that a spiritual system has
nothing to do with sport. This is why Swami Maitreyananda
himself proposed to organize an International Congress
in Bucharest under the patronage of the IYF containing
a contest for promoting spiritual values in the traditional
way, (the present contest) and also giving the Indian
federation the opportunity to organize “the world
sports yoga and artistic contest” as they actually
wanted.
On this occasion Swami Maitreyananda said that behind
the scenes of the International Yoga Federation there
are some very powerful events going on, this idea was
also presented 3 years ago when I met him in Buenos
Aires. He also underlined that the ‘behind the
scenes’ events involved very big international
forces (that are also causing the problems encountered
by our Romanian school). However he said that if we
continue in this way he is sure that things will get
better. So we agreed to organize an international congress
in Bucharest and an esoteric yoga contest, in this way
not competing with the yoga sports contests promoted
by the International Yoga Federation of Yoga Sports.
Until this time the things had somehow proceeded normally.
From this time onwards, there are some totally unnatural
aberrant, strange aspects, and together they underline
a very precise working of some forces that know exactly
what they are doing and who try with diabolic perseverance
to destroy the spiritual tendencies or alternatives
of some aspects that these forces want to enforce as
being authentic. So to continue the succession of events,
after we announced the developments of the Congress
in Bucharest and the program change that we will not
organize any world yoga championship, some very strange
attacks suddenly began on the international and European
federations forums, which in the beginning were indirectly
addressed to the Congress in Bucharest.
In the beginning it was Sri Ajita’s who accused
me and our school and, in a very subtle way, Grieg.
These accusations were in the form of letters published
on the International Yoga Federation forum – the
first one requested an urgent answer, the second one
followed with extremely severe accusations, insisting
and vehemently demanding answers from us regarding the
first letter.
It is very interesting that before these waves of accusations
that we have published on the International Yoga Federation
website a letter appeared in which I stated these calumnies
about our school (that were also starting to show up
on the International Yoga Federation forum) are ruled
by occult forces that are trying to fulfill a very specific
plan. In that letter I asked all the members of the
International Yoga Federation to intervene for the benefit
of our school for ending the situation the Romanian
MISA yoga school is in due to the attacks and maneuvers
made by some Romanian authorities’ forces.
The effect of this letter and the announcement we made
about the changes to the congress program was that we
were criticized, personally myself, the school and in
a subtle way Grieg by this person called Sri Ajita who
after receiving a very clear answer from us –
in which it was very clear that all he stated was groundless
and it was only a calumny regarding us – he continued
these accusations, proposing even to exclude me, Grieg
and the school from the International Yoga Federation
council and from the federation itself.
What is very interesting is that Sri Ajita was absolutely
not in a position to have this pretension. He was exactly
like us a member and honorific secretary accepted in
the federation in the same year as us, 2004.
But in a strange way these accusations were followed
by the accusation that, through this Congress in Bucharest
we want to boycott International Yoga Federation of
Sports (IYSF) and we want to oppose the federation,
etc.
I would like to make a very important explanation.
Confusion is deliberately maintained between International
Yoga Federation and International Yoga Federation of
Sports (inside the members of the federation), because
they want yoga to become a sport, in this way eliminating
any spiritual pretensions that yoga and yogis could
have. For this reason, almost the same people are chosen
(as if by democratic vote) to rule International Yoga
Federation and International Yoga Federation of Sports.
This is not generally stated and this council deliberately
mistake International Yoga Federation business with
International Yoga Federation of Sports. Being an organization
with the pretension of including all world yoga organizations,
(no matter what kind of practice); International Yoga
Federation shouldn’t have the right to be partial
in this direction.
It is normal for the International Yoga Federation
of Sports to defend their contest of sports yoga, having
their own rules, but we NEVER propose to organize any
sports yoga contest! We proposed and approved together
with the president of IYF a totally different contest
with different rules that was not at all under International
Yoga Federation of Sports jurisdiction, but, because
of our belonging to IYF and EYA, was under their patronage!
If these aspects are clarified they obviously show that
the people accusing us of boycotting International Yoga
Federation have bad intentions, and actually HAVE NO
VALID ARGUMENT regarding this. But, deliberately maintaining
this confusion between IYF and IYSF, they can accuse
us THAT WE DID NOT WANTED TO ORGANIZE A SPORTS YOGA
CONTEST. And here I have to repeat that we never wanted
and we never offered to organize such a contest because
of the clear reason that WE DO NOT CONSIDER YOGA AS
BEING A SPORT! But this confusion regarding the two
federations and moreover the fact that the same people
rule both of the structures shock the public and other
members of the federations!
I have finished with the previous explanations and
will continue with the events. After clearly responding
many times to the accusations that Sri Ajita had made,
he continued calling and personally contacting all the
council’s members, proposing our exclusion from
the International Yoga Federation. This was apparently
accepted by the members of the council, therefore, at
a certain moment there was a message published on the
federation forum announcing that the federation wanted
to stop any contact with MISA and its branches.
Hearing this, I personally contacted all the members
of the council (by phone) except Sri Ajita who denied
any discussion or meeting with us (which is a very important
aspect); they reacted very strangely, all of them saying
that they have nothing against MISA yoga school but
that they were following Sri Ajita’s personal
request.
I asked how it was possible for this man to have the
deciding power inside the International Yoga Federation
and they replied that he is an important person, (without
any extra explanation). In discussions with Swamini
Dayananda (president of IYF), Carlos Miguel (president
of EYA), and Beatrice Ruyz from Portugal (within European
Yoga Council), they all in fact said that they signed
the resolution in an inertial manner and would reconsider
the decision, taking into consideration that we hadn’t
been asked about these decisions and also they hadn’t
asked us for any explanations. We haven’t been
invited to participate in any meeting to clarify the
misunderstandings that appeared.
We agreed to attend a meeting with all the members
of the council and we were invited so we could explain
our position. It was very strange that this meeting
that we were invited to took place 10 days ago and I
found out only after the meeting had taken place. We
were informed that they had now decided that International
Yoga Federation and the European Yoga Alliance would
not support the Congress in Bucharest. The explanation
offered directly by Swami Maitreyananda was that there
are very big pressures both from Romania
and other countries on the Federation, and they cannot
take such a big responsibility!!
I have to state here a few more profoundly significant
elements that well help the understanding of the ‘behind
the scenes’ activity.
As I said, in 2004 when I met Swami Maitreyananda he
told me (after he heard about the problems that the
Romanian Yoga School is confronted with) that actually
these problems are not the only ones in the world and
they are generated by an occult force attempting to
strictly control any spiritual movement nowadays. That
time he gave me examples from other schools and other
masters. Meanwhile studying these cases, I recognized
striking similarities with the case of Grieg and MISA
Yoga School. In that year we had the discussion and
when Swami Maitreyananda told me those things, he said
that in his opinion those forces were so to say still
quite weak, and they only single out certain organizations.
When these events began, (at the end of 2007 and the
beginning of 2008), at a certain time Swami Maitreyananda
told me (these discussions are recorded and we can offer
to those who want to hear them) that he was also being
confronted with similar problems to the ones we were
confronted with. He confessed that he had been under
immense pressure since he declared he would meet Grieg
in Sweden. From that moment, he received threats, a
whole series of public press accusations (in the Argentinean
press this time). At a certain point in a later discussion
he told me after we last spoke when I had said that
I have information about an international organization
which is attempting to completely control spirituality,
that an organization called Freemasonry exists (in 2004,
2005) he thought I was exaggerating.
However, now he confessed he is convinced by what I
said. All of a sudden in 2008 a file was brought against
him in the Appellate Court in Buenos Aires, accusing
him of having sex with a minor, this being a standard
procedure used in many cases to slander some spiritual
masters. But the Argentinean Appellate Court rejected
this file, and the prosecutors who fabricated this file
told him that this is just the beginning and he will
get into trouble as Grieg has. Swami Maitreyananda confessed
to me that the majority of the members of International
Yoga Federation are masons and he naively thought that
they have good intentions and the masons were not the
reason for the problems that MISA yoga school encountered,
as many other schools in the world also encounter problems.
Now he realizes that this organization is at the root
of the problems. Moreover, he underlined that the pressures
that the federation face come from the inside, from
the people who (he realizes only now) are exactly the
ones who are members of the masonry. Among them, Sri
Ajita has a very high rank in masonry and this is the
reason why everybody listens to him. From a simple member,
Sri Ajita mysteriously became overnight the president
of the European Yoga Council. Swami Maitreyananda also
revealed to me the fact that he was not only attacked
in the press and in court, but all his students started
to get threatening letters that they would be dragged
to court if they continued attending his yoga class.
What is extremely serious is his yoga school is in connection
with international terrorist organizations having destabilization
tendencies etc. Of course they refer to MISA Yoga School
that is in this way deliberately presented as an organization
with a very bad reputation.
A week ago, when Swami Maitreyananda communicated to
me that the meeting (that was supposed to be somewhere
in Europe) had taken place (in which we also were supposed
to attend to clarify things), he said he was unable
to do anything for us in this situation, justifying
that the meeting was coordinated by masons and he had
absolutely no power, because he is not part of masonry
and every move he makes will immediately eliminate him
from International Yoga Federation.
Of course we cannot say we agree with his position,
which demonstrates cowardice and a spiritual compromise,
but Swami Maitreyananda’s statements have a deep
significance illustrating how this international organization
works, being ruled from the shadows by the freemasonry.
In this context we have to stress that the plan he showed
me in Montevideo in Uruguay is confirmed. On that occasion
he underlined that yoga is desired to be transformed
into an Olympic sport and once the immense funds will
be allocated by different international organizations
for Olympic sports and once the money starts to come
in this direction practically some international so
called yogic sport standards will be established, suddenly
anyone trying to speak about chakras system, about subtle
energies, about some spiritual achievements in yoga
will be considered to have the tendency to behave as
a sect and would be very efficiently fought against,
the best argument to convince the public would be that
yoga is something different, because it is an already
“unanimously” accepted Olympic discipline.
In this context, through the previous sequence of events
we can see that this plan (guided from the shadows by
freemasonry) actually completes step by step all these
maneuvers showing nothing but this Masonic plan.
I would like to add here a few clarifying elements
to underline the sequence of events regarding this.
When we published the website www.wisdomofyoga2008.net
and we put on the website the rules of the esoteric
yoga contest – before the federation decided to
officially break down the collaboration with us –
I personally received a demanding email asking me to
immediately remove the chapter about the subtle perceptions
contest from the website www.wisdomofyoga2008.net.
It is very strange that the International Yoga Federation
reacted in this way - if it would not have this hidden
agenda about yoga becoming a sport discipline and that’s
all then why were they so disturbed by the esoteric
part of this yoga contest? In addition when we said
we will keep this congress anyway and that it will be
a big success, (according to two previous ones we hosted
until now). Then being afraid to loose us from their
control the International Yoga Federation came back
and proposed two absolutely amazing things: firstly
they proposed to keep the congress together, but to
take off the esoteric contest from the program. When
they realized that we are keeping our previous line
and we are not making any compromises, we received a
further message even more “hallucinogenic”
in which Swamini Dayananda proposed for us to join BACK
into the European Yoga Federation, that one ruled by
Swami Suryananda – those who were previously excluded
from International Yoga Federation as saboteurs and
in this direction they (International Yoga Federation)
will mediate this transfer, considering that is it the
best for everybody that we join the European Yoga Federation
and this way we can have, maybe in the future, the mediating
role between International Yoga Federation and European
Yoga Federation.
Of course this proposal shows the despair of International
Yoga Federation, hanging onto an idea of keeping us
under a certain control, and in the same time, maintaining
the possibility to cancel the esoteric contest. Obviously
we couldn’t accept this proposal because once
we agreed to continue with International Yoga Federation,
we would have been like those politicians without principles
and only out for their own interests, migrating from
one party to another.
I would also like to say it is not at all by chance
that in that period, exactly when these calumnies appeared
on the International Yoga Federation website (on its
forum, on yahoo group) some messages appeared from some
people pretending to be ex students of MISA Yoga school
about whom we have proof are paid by the secret services
to do a coherent activity of calumny to destroy the
image of MISA Yoga School. Messages from this kind of
people appeared on the website of the federation but
when we replied to those messages to show the truth,
those messages were censured and in this direction I
have the proof of the messages I received from the administrator
of that forum, announcing that our replies were rejected.
The reasons are not said…
However, on the contrary, the open letter of our former
yoga teacher Narcis Tarcau was published, who is now
entitled Swami Vivekananda, who absolutely insidiously
and perversely says he wants to know clearly if IYF
and EYA offers the patronage and the support for the
Congress in Bucharest, because he together with his
students ONLY want to participate if this event is officially
recognized by these federations!!! He is imperiously
asking clarification regarding the aspects related to
IYF and EYA if they are or not together with MISA, because
he does not know for sure what to “advice”
his students about this. Of course IYF came back with
pressures over us to obey the strange imposed conditions…
Coming back to the unfolding of the events, in conclusion
we can say that our decision to organize the Congress
in Bucharest and the esoteric yoga contest was practically
the reason for these calumnies and attacks and if we
have a wider view upon this series of events, that started
in 2004 (actually in also 2005) we can see the same
operating methods, the same people planned everything
and fulfilled it.
We will not be discouraged by all this intrigues and
we will continue to act developing the Atman International
Federation of Yoga and Meditation, a federation with
many schools embracing the teaching system offered by
Grieg and under the patronage of this International
Federation we will continue to organize congresses and
spiritual events on the planetary level, promoting authentic
yogic spiritual values.
The last idea I want to end this presentation with
is the fact that, in the moment that IF of Yoga and
Meditation Atman was legally setup, we were straight
away called by International Yoga Federation asking
us to immediately cancel the name and the website of
the federation, having the reason that the name international
federation would compete with International Yoga Federation.
In that moment, not knowing the international laws,
we accepted this. But after searching the laws more
thoroughly we found out that setting up a federation
that should have this name of being international or
organization should fulfill some criteria, without it
being impossible to get this name. We had the surprise
that even the International Yoga Federation DOES NOT
FULFILL this criteria and this is why they are not legally
setup, being in fact a disguise of a national Italian
federation under the name of International Yoga Federation.
In other words, International Yoga Federation IS NOT
EVEN LEGALLY SETUP as an international organization
having this official title as international, compared
to Atman International Federation of Yoga and Meditation
which is legally setup and legally fulfills all conditions
to have this title. We kept all this away from the public
because we trusted those who were and are still implicated
in International Yoga Federation. But now, when they
have shown bad intention and are using our goodwill
in a cynical way, we reveal to everybody that in fact
International Yoga Federation does not have (at least
until Atman International Yoga Federation and Meditation
setup) the papers to carry on its activity as an international
organization. We have proved goodwill by canceling the
website of the federation and even renaming our federation
from the Atman International Federation of Yoga and
Meditation becoming World Federation for Yoga and Meditation
Atman in order not to make this competition. If honestly
from the beginning they would have said what the situation
was then the gentlemen from International Yoga Federation
would at least have shown goodwill; we also had it when
we modified the name of Atman Federation. Nevertheless,
they tricked us hiding the real reason why they did
not want this name to appear. I consider this emphasis
as being significant for those who want to make intelligent
correlations.
