Firstly,
to my family:
 To
my parents, who gave me life, sustenance through
their love, and, despite their affection for
the native soil, allowed their son all the
freedom to explore other worlds. Thanks to
my sister Anita and brother Daniel for their
never-failing support. Also I am expressing
a belated thanks to my second sister Elsbeth
who through her premature death is accountable
for my early quest of trying to reach from
darkness to light. |
|
Then to my
teachers. I cannot but repeat how grateful
I am:
To
Live Arts and Chrissie Gregory for their
patience when introducing me to Iyengar
Yoga, to Danny Paradise and Rolf Naujokat
for Ashtanga Vinyasa, to Louisa Sear
for Vinyasa style and her uncommon trust
in my potential as a teacher trainer,
to Saraswati Prasad Ghimire for the
love he instilled for Sanskrit, to Surya
who taught me devotion, to Satyananda
Saraswati for his invaluable teachings,
and to Clive Sheridan for his loving
guidance and the initiation into the
tantric universe of Shiva Baba of Bakreshwar,
and the joyfullness of it all.

 ...
Tasmai Shree Gurave Namah. I bow in
front of you all – may you kindly
forgive my shortcomings when I dare
to offer your light in my own modest
fashion to others. |

During
my search I had the fortune to encounter uncommon
wisdom in a variety of spiritual traditions,
among them:
J.
Krishnamurti and his school of thought, the
Jesuit fathers of Taiwan, the Taoists of the
black lineage, the Zen masters of Eiheiji,
the great smiling sages of the Tibetan Vajrayana
tradition, the Kaivalyadham of Lonavla, the
sadhus of Pashupatinath, and the community
of the Bihar School of Yoga. |
|
Thanks
also to the brothers and sisters who shared
part of my yoga sadhana. I learnt from all
of you!

It needed some strong
prodding to overcome my rather deep-seated
hesitations regarding websites. Thanks for
that, and for assistance in creating these
pages: Cleo and Michael, Adam, Inga, Mark,
Tim, Jock and Annie, Stefanie, Viana with
her team, and especially Jocasta, my angel. |

And finally,
with gratitude to those in whom I see
light
in the form of love shine most brilliantly:
My
Shakti Devi
and my daughter Nora His outward faade exudes the Tom Ford trademark of Classic Sophisticated Masculinity. As my American neighbours have discovered, it serves no purpose to elect a person to the White House who promised to end such practices.
