| Hi!
Actually, I am practicing in this school from 1996 and I can tell you some
things if you are interested. (Please excuse me if I do some mistakes in
english).
The yoga that my guru teaches it's named navara but in our school we teach
also classical yoga, in all forms, that is hatha, raja, mantra, tantra,
bhakti, etc. It is true that we have practices that you won't find in
other schools of yoga in this form, but, because this are considered to be
very hard to practice by beginners, they are teached after some years of
training in classical yoga. Yes, we have practices that are specific to
our school, but many gurus have received in revelations teachings (for
example Tilopa received Djog-chen - Maha-mudra from a dakini in a
revelation).
Every time you will receive a practice that it's specific to our school
you will receive the similar practice from classical yoga, so you can
judge for yourself wich one is the purest.
Why we teach this type of yoga? Because we think that in time, some of the
original teachings of yoga have been lost, and others have been modified
by gurus that did not understand there true meaning. I could give you many
examples if you want, and if you look at the original teachings of many
schools or religions you will see that in time mistakes have occured.
We do not think other school teach "bad" yoga, but you can't find in all
schools the purest forms of teachings.
The fact that my guru says that he is divinity should not surprise you,
because he says this about everyone, not only for himself. Are we not one
with God? Atman is one with Brahman.
You can come and see for yourself, if you are interested. The tax fee is
150.000 lei per month.
The web page is under construction, but we hope that in a few months it
will be ready.
