Dear Mihaela, dear readers of this forum, Please allow me to make some comments on behalf of a letter posted by Mihaela Frincu on this forum in the 21st of March 2008. I am a yoga practitioner since 1991 and a yoga teacher since 1996. I did my yoga education in MISA, the Romanian yoga school, and I was teaching in Romania, Denmark, France and Germany. For the moment I am a teacher in Deutsche Akademie fur Traditionelles Yoga Berlin, a yoga school which is part of ATMAN World Federation for Yoga and Meditation. As well as Mihaela Frincu, I have learned yoga from Mr. Gregorian Bivolaru which I consider my yoga teacher and my spiritual master. I know him personally since many years and in many moments of my life his wise advices were giving me the chance to overcome different life problems and to continue my spiritual evolution. This is one of the reasons for posting this answer, as I cannot stand the hypocrisy and the untruthfulness of Mihaela Frincu’s letter. It is surprising for me and almost hilarious to see in Mihaela Frincu’s way of acting the same pattern I have witness in March 2004 when Romanian authorities started a dirty campaign against the yoga practitioners. At that time the Police came to bust the peaceful ashrams with heavily armed soldiers, with prosecutors and even with the television; directly on TV they formulated the accusations: prostitution, drugs, weapons, human traffic and paramilitary organization. One after each other all these accuses failed because of no proofs. Then, I now can just ask myself what exactly Ms. Mihaela Frincu knows without having any doubts? She pretends that “most of the accusations against the MISA School and its leaders are true”. She seems to be better informed that Romanian authorities as much as they succeed to prove nothing from all those accusations so severely formulated in March 2004. What exactly she knows and the huge army of prosecutors, lawyers, policemen and journalists couldn’t find during already 4 years? For sure this seems to be her “little secret”, as she is proceeding in a typical communist way; “to her knowledge” the leaders of MISA are guilty; period. Guilty of what? According to which proves? Only Ms. Frincu knows. During many years of communist regime a lot of Romanians ended their lives in the horrible and cruel political repression system; most of them were considered guilty by the communists and they were sentence to death without any proves of their misbehavior. They died because the Romania Communist Party “knew” that “the accusations against those people were true”. My surprise increased even more when, continuing to read the letter of Ms. Frincu, I came to see even more of the already mentioned pattern. In 2004 when Romanian authorities understood that there was no reliable proof to incriminate MISA, they decided to attack its leader, Mr. Gregorian Bivolaru. Everything turned personally, and the MISA case turned suddenly into a sexual scandal; as well invented and calumnious, at least if we believe the Swedish Justice Department and the Swedish Supreme Court of Justice. Ms. Frincu apply the same scheme; in the second part of the letter she is insinuating lots of calumnies, pretending that she knows persons who got infected with STD after having sex with Mr. Bivolaru. Once more she is proceeding in a similar manner. She pretends “there are more and more women who report having been infected by him with sexually transmitted diseases”. I can just wonder to whom those women reported such an abuse. To Ms. Frincu? And who informed Mr. Bivolaru about this? She did? It is sad for me to see that a person pretending to be a yoga teacher and therefore a model for others into the spiritual path can come to think and act in such a calumnious way. Ignoring completely the moral and ethical code, the core of the yoga system, yama and nyama, proffering lies and cheap gossips; and even worse, against the one who was her teacher and learned her all she knows about yoga. I would like to put a question to her from the perspective of her being a yoga practitioner and even a teacher: does Ms. Frincu understand the true spiritual, karmic consequence of denigrating her own teacher? Does she understand that besides the harm she’s doing on herself, she is also poisoning the hearts of other innocent people who may naively accept her gossips and calumnies without having maybe the discernment and the possibility to understand the truth? Does she understand and accept the consequences of “helping” other people to give up the spiritual path? The ancient Romanian wisdom use to say: “a fool throw a stone in a lake and hundred wise men cannot take it out”. It takes always very long time to earn someone trust and so little time to brake it apart. It takes always so much effort to build something good and so little unconsciousness to be the tool of the evil forces. Maybe it is not too late to remind Ms. Frincu that along with attacking MISA and its leaders she is also attacking all her friends, people who offer their support when she needed it, yogis who benevolent meditated for helping her to open and sustain the yoga school in Wien. Jesus told us “the one without sin shall first throw the stone”. Does Ms. Frincu feel herself being without sin? Because for sure she does not hesitate to stone those she formerly belonged to. With all do respect I see no constructive intention in the letter written by Mihaela Frincu, but the intention to “throw the stone” and to harm as much as possible. But quoting once more the ancient Romanian wisdom, I know that “like the oil always come on top of the water surface, the truth will always come on top of the lies”. Therefore I can just appeal on the common sense, discernment and the love for truth of those reading the information posted on this forum and I invite them to “find the truth and the truth will set them free”.
