In the "Misconceptions" section of ATMAN's new website, twistedmedia, an article appeared entitled
The title suggests that there is a misunderstanding on the part of the media regarding how the question
of eros is presented and addressed publicly at MISA. The eternally misunderstood MISA: their vision
of eros is divine, but everyone else perceives it as debauchery! In reality, journalists and public opinion
have understood correctly from the very beginning - just like those of us who have passed through MISA
and left it for this reason - that what MISA calls eros is actually a pretentious word for absolute debauchery.
The correct understanding is based on the simple and wise principle enunciated by Jesus: the tree is known
by its fruits and the man by his deeds or, in another form also shown by Jesus, a man is known by his deeds
and not by his words, for his mouth says one thing and he does another.
Like all normal people in this society, we, the former students, were shocked from the very beginning by
the debauchery dictated by the MISA guru himself. The classes talked about the spiritual couple based on
infinite sublime love, on adoration, on transfiguration, the TWO lovers being embodiments of the male and
female principles at the macrocosmic level or of the divine couple Shiva-Shakti, being animated by aspiration
towards perfection - everything in superlative terms. But in practice, everyone couples with whoever
they could or, better said, with whoever was left! Following the example of Bivolaru, who always showed up
with several "lovers" in the same time, different from one day to the next, the old instructors also started to
behave this way, giving rise to rumors about group sex practices. Yes, the first rumors about group sex did not
appear in the press, but right inside MISA, from where they were picked up by the press! On the other hand,
Bivolaru said in interviews and conferences that Tantra is like walking on a razor's edge, that's how special
it is, and that's why it's secret, only for the chosen and prepared. But everyone practiced with whoever they
happened to meet, leraning the techniques from hearsay or from second-hand xeroxed sheets!

1. Introduction: The Accusation and the Reality It Targets
In recent years, serious accusations have been directed at our spiritual school (MISA, Atman Federation).
These accusations have been widely circulated through productions such as the Apple TV documentary
Twisted Yoga, as well as podcasts. The accusations do not only concern isolated actions or individual cases.
They also address the school itself, suggesting that its central teachings - especially those related to eroticism,
and spirituality - are used in a manipulative way to create dependence, submission, or control. The question,
therefore, is not limited to specific situations, but concerns how the teaching as a whole is understood and
presented.
Core concepts are reinterpreted so that they appear to diminish individual autonomy, and practices are presented
in a form that emphasizes their most controversial aspects while leaving aside the framework in which they
are situated. Relationships within the movement are described in terms that suggest an expanding influence
over personal life. Taken together, these elements create a coherent impression: what appears as a spiritual
path is, in reality, structured by mechanisms of pressure and control.
comments:
The author of the article blames the “productions” in a pathetic attempt to divert attention from the essential
problem, namely that the accusations of abuse are made by former students. The “productions” do nothing
but present these accusations. It is insinuated that some occult circles have started a campaign to denigrate
”the perfect school”, have “twisted” the basic concepts and have sought out dissatisfied former students, whom
they have “twisted” against the school. Obviously, things did not happen that way, but exactly the opposite:
some students felt the pressure of the indoctrinated collective to exceed individual limits against their will
and claimed this as abuse. This fact was also noticed by an undercover Swedish reporter, who signed up for
a “polarizing tantric retreat” (details). So a normal person, who was not indoctrinated in “transcending ego”,
felt this activity as abusive and left the camp just before the climax of the ritual. The leaders of MISA do not
want to understand that each practitioner individually chooses the way and pace in which he act to transcend
his ego, and feels when the time has come to “abandon themselves to the Higher Will”. They do not want
to understand that everyone has their own perspective, that they have free will.
The video sequence in which former ATMAN leader Stoian leads such a ritual and announces a sexual game,
in which couples are determined by drawing lots, is representative of pushing individual sexual boundaries.
Some are delighted and exult, as can be heard on the soundtrack, but others - "the egotistical and blocked" -
were not as delighted. Some had been before, knew what was coming and were looking forward to another
meeting, but those who came for the first time had no way of knowing what was coming (like the Swedish
reporter), because these meetings are kept secret. It would be natural for those who wish to participate to be
warned in advance about what was coming and to be asked for their consent, but this is not done before taking
vows of secrecy, because some, shocked by what was happening there, might start talking. In fact, this is
what happened in the early years of MISA, before the rule with the vows was established, when a lot of reports
about such "extracurricular" activities appeared on forums and in the press. It could have been done like this:
the vow is taken (which is quite shocking for a normal person anyway, considering the self-cursing nature
of the vow and the fact that they have to swear BEFORE knowing what is coming), and then the aspirant
is warned about what is coming (not necessarily in detail, but only in general terms, for example that mixed
couples are established by drawing lots, without revealing the spicy or shocking details), and if someone
feels they don't want to participate, leave the room! Some dissatisfaction might arise, but these are nothing
compared to complaints of abuse to the police! And even if some people were to break the vow and speak out,
what could they reveal? Suspicions, gossip, rumors that couples are established by drawing lots? And what
did they do? Maybe they look each other in the eye? What's the big deal?
And then why is this not done? A hasty and superficial explanation would be that such a mechanism with
warning in advance would be just a selection system for sexual orgies! And then it is necessary to give
an appearance of spirituality by instituting so-called ego-transcending techniques, in which participants
are not warned in advance, but are subjected to shocking situations that test and push their individual
limits.
But this explanation is hasty and superficial because, from the accounts of former students interviewed
in podcasts, as well as from the previously presented sequence with Stoian, it emerges that most of the
participants in these sessions are not taking part for the first time, but are experienced, in which case
the hypothesis of the limit-situation does not apply to them. And then what is their role? Simple:
collective pressure on those participating for the first time! In this case, the shocked novices have
two options:
➢ to refuse to take part in games that push their behavioral limits; but in this case there is this bizarre rule
that they cannot leave the room (details) and remain inside, being under great psychological pressure,
feeling marginalized in relation to those who participate casually. After the meeting, some refuse to take part
in such meetings again, but they will continue to feel inferior and inhibited and think that it is only because
of them (because everyone else can!). Others want to overcome themselves ("I wanted to want to!", as
Ashleigh said), and to a subsequent participation, when the shock is much less, they in turn manage to
overcome their limits. The frog in hot water technique is accompanied by the frog in cold shower technique.
Thus, new participants are brought into the groups, who will in turn bring other new participants.
➢ agree to participate, under the pressure felt in relation to others, not wanting to feel marginalized; some
of them overcome their repulsion and their "blockages", feeling a great inner satisfaction as a euphoric state,
interpreted as a great spiritual leap. Such people will tend to engage in activities that push their limits more
and more. The female students among them are further recommended to the guru, for sexual initiation.
However, some people who agree to participate and push their limits, after the meeting remain in a state of
inner conflict, between what they actually want and what they accept to do against their will. This conflict
can last a long time, until these people decide to give up MISA and then speak out, to the "surprise" of MISA
who wonder why some victims come out publicly so late.
Being a game in which limits are pushed, it is obvious that there are also cases in which novices "snap" from
the first participation, and the more experienced after some time, hence the complaints to the police.
Therefore, if these meetings were exclusively intended for ego transcending techniques, only first time attendees
would be sought. If only those who had been there before and knew what it was about had participated, it would
only be about orgies where, at most, the games are varied. However, since some participate for the first time
alongside the experienced ones, it means that the aim is to recruit new participants who are put in limit situations.
The only possible conclusion is that the pushing of individual limits at MISA/ATMAN is an intentional and
calculated strategy, aiming to subjugate individual followers through collective pressure and is in no way
an invention or a reinterpretation of the media and public opinion.
● quoted from the article:
In light of these accusations, it becomes essential to clarify what is actually being taught. The purpose of this
article is therefore to clarify the understanding of sexuality, eroticism, and spirituality within the school itself,
and to examine how this understanding is reflected in lived practice.
2. The Critical Perspective: Control, Coercion, and Hidden Influence
The dominant critical interpretation presents a relatively consistent picture, which appears across the documentary
and podcast materials and is often reinforced by testimonies from a few former participants who reinterpret
their past involvement in strongly negative terms.
comments: In his attempt to divert attention from the real serious problems in the ATMAN organization,
the author persists in the idea that, in order to denigrate the Movement, the documentaries and podcasts
present a distorted (“twisted”) reality, and the testimonies of “several former participants” come to reinforce
the distortion operation. This is part of a much more perverse tactic, but which appears at the same time
very strange, the one through which the complainants are not presented as victims of MISA, but are in fact
victims of the media! Initially, MISA and ATMAN counterattacked, complaining to the authorities:
“After almost 20 years, history repeats itself. A new concerted attack against the yoga teacher Bivolaru and
indirectly against the MISA Yoga School. The absurd accusations circulated by the French press and taken up
by the Romanian press are similar to those of 2004.”
It is as if there were no complainants, but the French authorities simply turned suddenly, without any reason,
against MISA. Obviously, this could not have happened without a reason, without some prior complaints,
but MISA did not mention anything about this, asking "where are the victims?", but not with reference to MISA's
victims, but to the MISA students detained in the raids, who declared themselves victims of police actions.
When the real victims started speaking in podcasts, first under the protection of anonymity or under pseudonyms,
MISA was forced to admit their existence, but they claimed - first through intermediaries - that they had been
"made to change their minds" by anti-cult activists and by the authorities and then suddenly started telling
”cloak-and-dagger” stories ("liars" - details). When the victims began to have names and faces, the organization
resorted to personal attacks against them (“lying whores seeking compensation” Nathalie, Agnes, Bonnie and
Miranda). I quote:
“Twisted Yoga” portrays the witnesses as victims. MISA members we interviewed, who knew them personally,
called them “liars” and emphasized that some of them have an agenda. Miranda seeks significant damages
from the British yoga center where she learned about Bivolaru’s ideas. Another “victim” featured in “Twisted Yoga,”
Bonnie, makes a living teaching “yoni mapping therapy” and methods to enhance female pleasure. She admits
she developed these ideas after receiving her first yoni massage at the Tantra Temple in Copenhagen, where
some students and teachers of MISA used to work. Bonnie is now a competitor of MISA and has a personal
stake in discrediting it, as do some of the Finnish apostates who accuse Bivolaru (not featured in “Twisted Yoga”).
But as the Twisted Yoga documentary gained a global audience, MISA changed tactics, understanding that
public opinion sympathizes with the victims, and attacking them is not a good idea, so it softened its tone
and now, on this newly created media channel with which MISA/ATMAN tries to "twist" people's minds,
MISA's victims have become victims of "the media that distorts reality." Subtle, right? "They are not our
victims, nor the authorities', the poor women were deceived by the media!" What could have been the cause
of this new twist by MISA? It seems that, after what was written on this blog, they finally understood that
the facts claimed by the victims were confirmed by police surveillance (the "cloak-and-dagger” stories")
and by the recordings found during the raids, thanks to which the guru was forced to admit everything, except
the sexual abuse: "Uuh, it wasn't abuse, it was consensual!" Well, if it was consensual, why are the girls complaining?
"Poor women, the media has twisted their minds!" But how did the media do this? "Well, it distorted their testimonies!"
But the documentary simply presented the testimonies given in front of the cameras, without interpreting
them in any way. First, they presented their testimonies, they were filmed and the documentary was created
based on them, not the other way around! MISA-type "logic"... And the statements in the file in France belong
to the complainants, they are not transcripts from podcasts or documentaries!
● quoted from the article:
This perspective does not limit itself to describing individual experiences. It advances a broader claim: that
the structure of the teaching itself enables or facilitates forms of influence that compromise individual autonomy.
Within this perspective, relationships between men and women in the movement are described as structured
by asymmetry, where spiritual authority reaches into intimate life. Practices that are presented internally
as transformative are interpreted externally as mechanisms of influence, through which trust is redirected,
boundaries are softened, and dependence is gradually established. Even when participation appears voluntary,
it is suggested that this voluntariness is only apparent, masking more subtle forms of psychological pressure.
comments: What kind of voluntary participation can we talk about when followers were forced to swear
to keep an action secret BEFORE knowing anything about it, and after it started and they refused to take part,
they had to stay in the room? Question: why is the person who refuses to engage in games of crossing sexual
boundaries not allowed to leave the room? She just took an oath, so she will keep the secret! Practical logic
says that If someone does not want to participate in an activity they find shocking, they should be allowed
to leave the room, because that way they will be less shocked and, if they do reveal anything, they will have
little to say and will be less credible, because they did not witness an orgy!And those in the group could deny it
at any time, saying that it was just a spiritual test and that nothing actually happened after that, but it was
a simple test of trust (because there is no proof of what happened anyway). However, against all logic, some
women remains in the room, witnessing in shock an orgy that she does not want to participate in! Why?
To be subjected to the collective pressure to conform to the group!
● quoted from the article:
A central element in this interpretation is the idea that the teachings themselves function as instruments of influence.
Concepts such as surrender, the transcendence of the ego, or the use of erotic practices in a spiritual context
are not taken at face value, but are read as ways of shaping perception, making participants more receptive
to guidance and less inclined to question authority. This becomes particularly clear in the way specific elements
of the teaching are presented.
comments: "The use of erotic practices in a spiritual context are not taken at face value"! But can they be taken
at face value? If you go to a meeting and, contrary to the announced purpose, mixed couples are drawn by lot
to have sex, can you take the situation "at face value"? Are sexual orgies with a draw of lots something normal,
"at face value"? In fact, they violate the very teaching of MISA, which clearly states that amorous fusions
in a couple are achieved only if there is deep, endless love and transfiguration. And if they are not activities
"at face value", but something out of the ordinary, how can you accept to participate in such a thing other
than abandoning your will in front of an external authority, through which something is imposed on you that
takes you out of your limits? (for example "the Divine Will manifested by the draw of lots" or "coordination
by the leader of the activity who, being sent and endorsed by the guru, knows better than us why he does
what he does ...")? Couldn't other games be imagined than sexual ones, for example, drawing lots of couples
to participate in a quiz or skills competition? Forming a competition team with a randomly drawn person
of the opposite sex, isn't that exciting enough? At MISA, apparently not!
● quoted from the article:
For instance, in one of the podcast materials, a narrated scenario includes the statement that
”the sexual union lasts for 8 hours. Orgasm is the only way to achieve state of ecstasy”.
Such a formulation is not only reductive in itself, but also misleading through what it leaves unsaid.
It suggests exclusivity, as if all other paths toward samadhi were irrelevant, and it implicitly invites
a conventional understanding of orgasm as a simple physiological release. In this way, a notion that
in the teaching refers to a refined and transformative state is reduced to a sexual act.
The teaching is consistently approached through a sexualized reading, in which its erotic dimension
is isolated from the broader framework in which it is situated. Elements that belong to a complex and
nuanced process are interpreted as if they were expressions of unrefined sexuality or instruments
of control.
comments: Seriously? That's the big deal, the claim that "orgasm is the only way to achieve ecstasy"?
Isn't the claim that couples are drawn for sex stronger? Or Ashleigh's statement in the documentary that she
witnessed an orgy where the other girls collected urine from everyone in a bowl and were invited to drink,
and they even sent dilutions to other groups of women? If Ashleigh refused to take part, why didn't they let
her leave the room? That way, she wouldn't have anything to tell! By keeping her there, they exposed themselves!
"Thus, a teaching that refers to a refined and transformative state, is reduced to a sexual act". It is a sexual act!
Well, Bivolaru stated in a conference that through tickling, energies of some Divine Attributes are manifested.
Other "subtle energies" are manifested through urine and female sexual secretions (kalas) and menstrual blood.
Don't these represent "a reduction to aspects of unrefined sexuality"?
● quoted from the article:
This can be seen, for example, in the way the material emphasizes a gradual shift toward sexual themes:
participants describe how “the sexual aspect is taking up more and more space”, and how what begins with
yoga postures “later… turns into advice on how to have sex”. Sexuality is further described as “a highway
to spirituality”, reinforcing the impression that it constitutes the core of the path.
comments: This is the reality! The yoga postures of the first months later become sexual postures on the
energetic centers (chakras)! First, contractions (bandhas) and techniques for transmutation and sublimation
of sexual substances are taught precisely in order for them to later serve amorous fusions with sexual continence!
If the "core of the path" had been prayer and not sexuality, with the passage of time we would have witnessed
a reduction in sexual discourse at least for the "advanced" followers, but it is exactly the opposite: polyamory,
tickling, nude yoga and heavy urine drinking!
● quoted from the article:
3. What We Actually Teach: The Perspective on Eroticism and Transformation
To evaluate the accusations, it is necessary to clarify what is actually taught regarding sexuality, eroticism,
and their relationship to spiritual transformation. In this perspective, sexuality in its ordinary form is understood
as instinctual and oriented toward discharge of energy (for example through ejaculation in men). It follows
a pattern of tension and release and is often driven by habit, conditioning, and the search for immediate gratification.
The teaching does not reject this level, but it does not remain within it either. It proposes that the procreative
potential of the human being can be approached in a fundamentally different way when it is lived with awareness,
love, and spiritual aspiration. From this approach, one can access a different quality of experience, referred
to as Pure Eros. This perspective defines the direction of the teaching. It is not oriented toward impulsive
satisfaction, nor toward the exercise of power over another. It is oriented toward spiritual transformation,
mutual respect, and the awakening of a higher level of experience.
comments: From a formal point of view, the direction of the teaching is from gross sexuality to Pure Eros
through sexual continence. But from a practical and chronological point of view, it was exactly the opposite.
It began with "Tantra as walking on a razor's edge”, the path of the chosen ones, which only the advanced
can walk, for which years of prior preparation in controlling sexual energy are required; the tantric couple
is based primarily on deep love and transfiguration; one does not proceed directly to sexual contact,
but goes through stages - "the 7 nights of Tantra" (details); the amorous fusion must become meditation.
But quite quickly, it moved on to couples based on physical attraction that were formed and dissolved;
therefore, the need for multiple parallel relationships arose (what would later be formalized as polyamory),
these led to group sex; the first extracurricular activities - camps - appeared, promoting activities and practices
that could not be done in the gym; photos in a swimsuit were requested for enrollment in the camps;
debauchery was promoted en masse in summer camps through the Miss Shakti contests, which would lead
to the first systematic extracurricular activities - Shakti groups (the selection base for Bivolaru's harem and
his "initiations"), then he began the "tastings" - "enjoying sexual secretions" (kalas), drinking urine introduced
through the back door in the form of urine therapy (amaroli); publishing houses appeared, with books and
magazines full of photographs of female nudes (even those that had nothing to do with sexuality); the idea
of "fructifying" sexualizing behavior through pole dancing in striptease bars (in Japan), porn films with actors
from the course, massage parlors and porn video chats appeared; with Bivolaru's establishment in Paris,
the "pilgrimage to his sexual initiations" began; official Tantra courses began, first in the West; Bivolaru decreed
that the basis of tantric love relationships is sexual attraction (more than deep love); conferences on polyamory
(multiple parallel sexual relationships with partners from each zodiac sign) appeared; the concept of "Pure
Divine Eros" and "esoteric Christianity" developed; Bivolaru decreed that without deviant sexual practices
there can be no rapid spiritual evolution (audio), he "revealed" tickling as a technique for communion with
the Divine Attributes, he "revealed" nude yoga and decreed urinary practices as the planetary spiritual revolution,
through a message received from the "holy spirit", a mission that was entrusted to the MISA female followers
as "apostles" of the new path! Bivolaru urged the followers to watch porn films of the lowest kind that he
himself bought and scolded them for "not engaging enough" in watching them! The same horrible porn films
are mandatory shown to the female students who are waiting for their turn at the sexual initiation in Paris.
The more and more grandiose words are spoken (sublime, cosmic, pure divine eros), the coarser the practices
are, more directed towards the body and physiological acts, towards deviant behaviors! In short, a continuous
involution from the pure and sublime to the gross and abject!
● quoted from the article:
4. What Do the Studies Show? Teachings and Lived Reality
The next step is to consider the available research on MISA, ATMAN, and related schools.
The question is not whether criticism exists—it clearly does—but whether systematic studies
support the claim that the teachings themselves function as instruments of manipulation or coercion.
➢ Raffaella Di Marzio’s MISA: Spiritual Explorations and Experiences in the Practice of Esoteric Yoga (2024)
is based on interviews with practitioners from centers affiliated with ATMAN
➢ Susan Palmer’s series #SheToo: The Experience of MISA Women (2025), based on interviews with 39 women,
offers a particularly important perspective.
Rather than finding evidence of coercive techniques, the study emphasizes the presence of autonomy and
the integration of the teaching into participants’ broader lives. [...] Participants are not isolated from society,
they maintain independent decision-making, and there is no evidence of the systematic control mechanisms
that such theories presuppose. [...] Taken together, these studies describe a reality marked above all by conscious
engagement. They do not support the claim of a system structured around coercion. Instead, they point to
a context in which individuals participate actively in a path of transformation, including aspects that may
appear unconventional from the outside, and where lived experience often corresponds closely to the principles
that are taught.
comments: The aforementioned "studies" take statements from MISA followers as if they were only stating
the truth. Also, favorable statements by some followers are automatically extended to all members, which
means that other opinions no longer exist or are no longer possible and, implicitly, that the organization is not
wrong and can never be wrong, thus taking over the organization's propaganda thesis that it is "godly".
What kind of active participation is that in which followers completely abandon their previous way of life and
completely adopt the way of life recommended by the guru? Exclusive lacto-vegetarian diet, sexual continence,
giving up the idea of starting a family, adopting all kinds of conspiracy theories (e.g. isolation from those
vaccinated), rejecting medical treatments, changing religious conceptions (Bivolaru's New Planetary Religion),
adopting deviant sexual practices, taking a vow of silence, rejecting the rest of society as obtuse and ignorant
and presenting it as the enemy of the school, all of these are not evidence of active participation, but of sectarian
conformity and lead to self-isolation from the rest of society (details). The clearest proof is the very name
of the media page on which the article analyzed here was posted: "Distorted Media - Deception as an Agenda",
which suggests that everything in the media is a lie from the start, implicitly urging the rejection of everything
that is stated in the written or online press.
The idea presented that at MISA "the lived experience often corresponds closely to the principles taught"
is the fruit of a phenomenon of autosuggestion or self-delusion. The proof is represented by the poor results
of the subtle perception contests. When the theme of a subtle exemplification is not known in advance,
the participants give different answers ("as many heads, as many opinions"), but when the theme is known
in advance, everyone feels and reports in "unison". In this direction, MISA propaganda issued a circular
argument ("vicious circle"), according to which the authenticity of the MISA school and its spiritual leader
would be proven even by the accounts of the followers (details): "Since the school's teaching is authentic,
the practitioners have special spiritual achievements and their accounts bear witness" or, in short, the school
is authentic because its students testify that the school is authentic! The problem is that the testimonies
of the students are only declarative, that the achievements they claim do not exist or, worse, they are exactly
the opposite of what they preach and convince all outsiders of the very opposite of what they preach!
● quoted from the article:
5. Conclusion
The accusations directed at our spiritual movement suggest that the teachings themselves - especially those
related to eroticism and spirituality - function as instruments of manipulation, creating dependence and undermining
autonomy. Taken at face value, it implies that there is a structural contradiction at the heart of the path:
that what is taught in terms of awareness, love, freedom, and transformation would in practice lead to coercion,
pressure, and loss of inner autonomy.
If this were the case, we would expect to see a consistent pattern in lived reality that reflects this contradiction.
The practice would systematically move in the opposite direction of the teaching. Relationships would tend
toward control rather than mutual presence. Engagement would be marked by pressure rather than conscious
choice. The language of spirituality would function primarily as a cover for dynamics that negate the very
principles it affirms.
comments: This is exactly what happens in the case of the guru-student relationship, in the case of women
who were invited to Paris for sexual initiation! First, the students were promised that they would experience
great spiritual leaps if they joined the secret shakti groups, leaps that would not occur through regular practice
(this undermines the very idea of a basic yoga course). Acceptance into these groups is based on nude
photos and videos, and enrollment is conditional on taking an oath of silence, keeping the secret of what
happens inside groups, and answering affirmatively to the question "do you want to meet the spiritual guide?"
Eventually, the female students are offered free stays in vacation homes, for which they will have to accept
various conditions in the future. Systematic participation in the groups is conditioned by various austerities
(tapas), and when the guru gets aroused, they have to travel to him, they cannot refuse too many times.
For travel, other oaths and forms are requested, strict rules to be followed in the waiting rooms, watching
porn movies, and if they hesitate or refuse sexual contact, scandal and exclusion follow, after the students
have been told for years that leaving the courses or groups means the definitive loss of their only chance
of salvation and falling into hell. Having sexual intercourse with the guru at his initiative, after a selection
based on photographs (because initially the two do not know each other personally), under the cover of
"essential spiritual initiation", violates the principles of love, transfiguration and consecration, which Bivolaru
and MISA declare to be indispensable conditions for tantric love. Throughout this odyssey, from the invitation
to the moment of "initiation", there is added collective pressure from instructors and colleagues, who "advise"
they that it would be better to follow the invitation, as all the others have done. The result: the guru and his
lieutenants are on trial, not for promoting yoga or “sacred eroticism”, but for sexual exploitation and abuse
in the name of spirituality!
Here we see a perverse maneuver of manipulation, which could be called “hiding the tree by the forest”:
the author suggests, exaggeratedly, that the target of the media and public criticism is the way of living and
thinking of each MISA student, which is false. The manipulation, indoctrination, coercion, exploitation and
abuse only take place within the “extracurricular activities”, outside of yoga sessions at gym!
Students who do not live in the ashrams, who do not participate in camps or secret groups, who do not participate
in "karma yoga" activities, who does not engage in deviant practices secretly promoted at MISA, do not suffer
the consequences of the actions of the organization's leaders, at most their image in society suffers, because
they are associated with these actions and accept them. In particular, not all women at MISA/ATMAN participate
in shakti groups, not all were invited and "initiated" by Bivolaru, not all ended up on porn video chats or in
erotic massage parlors, not all practice urine drinking and other aberrant practices that are not included in the
"basic" yoga course. All the aberrations that have been inoculated into MISA followers come exclusively from
guru Bivolaru! He is the one who promoted and interpreted in his own way the yoga or tantra practices of MISA.
Everything comes and originates only from him! But, following their public exposure, MISA/ATMAN react
as if media were targeting the public activity of the organization, while in reality media only target the actions
and activities of Bivolaru and the leaders, carried out in secret. By doing so, they try to hide and protect their
guru behind the entire mass of students, used as a human shield. The fact that some actions are carried out
in secret and are kept secret by forcing followers to take oaths of silence, shows that Bivolaru and his acolytes
are aware that they are immoral and even illegal. It is not spirituality that is attacked, nor the practice of yoga,
but only the perverse teachings of Bivolaru and the perversions of him and his acolytes.
These so-called studies analyze only the external manifestations of MISA, but these are not subject to criticism
from the press or investigations by the authorities, but what is not seen. It is not the yoga sessions and spirals
that are criticized, but the exaggerated and deviant sexuality of MISA. The yoga classes in the gym are actually
appreciated and these attract students in the first place. The scandal comes from what takes place outside
the classrooms. The "studies" only analyze how MISA manifests itself externally, but not what it does internally.
It is as if they were judging someone only by their clothes. But organized crime bosses also dress elegantly...
MISA claims to practice pure eros, but it manifests the same debauchery that all fornicators display.
MISA's productions are pornographic, like all the others. The tree is known by its fruits!
