Mesaj de la admin (sursă):

postare a lui harababura (harareloaded) de pe exmisa.org:

Salut! Începem o altă etapă... Cred că mulţi o înjură pe aia... Pasărea Phoenix. 

Arhiva

Arhiva cu conţinutul integral al forumului poate fi descărcată de la link-ul disponibil în banda portocalie din antet (pe exmisa.org). Este destul de mare, după cum se vede (132Mb - arhivată, 653Mb dezarhivată). Am păstrat aspectul original chiar dacă asta consumă ceva mai mult spaţiu.

Fişierele ataşate la mesaje nu sunt disponibile deoarece ar fi însemnat încă 3,5Gb. Era prea mult şi făcea mult mai dificilă manevrarea arhivei. A nu se confunda aceste fişiere cu link-urile către diversele materiale postate pe forum. Aceste link-uri către cursuri, filme, broşuri etc sunt (în marea majoritate) actualizate şi funcţionează fără probleme.

Dacă puteţi şi doriţi să ajutaţi puneţi această arhivă şi pe alte site-uri de file hosting (rapidshare, mediafire etc).

Online - Prima etapă

Pentru început forumul va funcţiona în modul următor:

- La adresa http://www.exmisa.org va fi accesibil în format HTML static. Asta înseamnă că poate să fie citit fără autentificare, în exact acelaşi format, însă utilizatorii nu se pot autentifica pentru a scrie mesaje.

- Forumul va fi accesibil în format complet (cu autentificare şi acces pentru a scrie mesaje) la o adresă de IP confidenţială. Cei care cunosc acest IP îl pot accesa şi se pot autentifica pentru a scrie mesaje.

- Dacă acest IP-ul ajunge la... "duşmani" atunci va începe iureşul... IP-ul va fi schimbat şi ne întâlnim în următoarea reîncarnare.

- Periodic (probabil o dată pe săptămână) varianta de la http://www.exmisa.org se va actualiza cu noul conţinut al forumului. Astfel, publicul larg poate citi ceea ce s-a postat între timp.

Online - Etapa a doua

Ulterior forumul va reveni la modul de lucru normal însă până atunci sunt de îndeplinit cerinţe tehnice mai speciale. Nu detaliez aici. Deocamdată ceea ce au realizat "prietenii" noştri este că au îngrădit posibilitatea oamenilor de a scrie pe forum. Dintr-un forum deschis a devenit unul închis. Asta e. Puteţi să le mulţumiţi.

Însă de aici şi până la extincţia sa... este mult wishful (sau o fi witchful?) thinking.

Cum pot ajuta?

Cât despre forum, pentru început acesta (varianta read/only) va fi instalată în mai multe noduri (indendente). Fiecare nod va conţine versiunea HTML static, adică exact ceea ce este în arhivă. Costul unui nod este de 2 sau 3$ pe lună (la godaddy, hostmonster etc). Instalarea înseamnă pur şi simplu copierea fişierelor pe server-ul unde se face "web hosting". După ce s-a realizat asta trebuie să îmi comunicaţi adresa de IP (email către harareloaded la yahoo) iar eu o pun în lista de noduri de acces. Când un nod este "down" se comută automat pe altele care sunt "up".

Cu cât se vor aduna mai multe noduri cu atât flood-ul va deveni mai dificil, dacă nu chiar imposibil practic.

Indicaţii tehnice

În arhivă există fişierul "CUM_INSTALEZ_UN_NOD" unde sunt date detaliile necesare pentru cei care vor să facă asta. Deh, e un test spiritual... să vedem ce fel de echipă suntem.

De asemenea în arhivă (directorul "tools") sunt script-uri pentru linux cu care oricine utilizează acest sistem de operare poate să facă o arhivă HTML pe care să o salveze pe computerul propriu când doreşte. 

Update 14 aprilie 2011

exmisa.ro este setată de ICI pe "hold" adică nu este publicată mai departe în ROTLD, deci domeniul nu este activ, nu poate fi redirectat; Bivolaru a reclamat la poliţie (prin avocaţi) că "lucrările" lui sunt puse pe site fără drept de copyright şi a luat un bon de înregistrare de la reclamaţie, cu el s-a dus la ICI şi a cerut suspendarea domeniului, ICI a refuzat; Bivolaru a mers la judecătorie şi acolo oamenii au fost foarte înţelegători şi au stabilit ca ICI să pună domeniul pe "hold" pînă la finalizarea reclamaţiei lui Bivolaru; deh, hoţul strigă hoţii! :D

Here are a few things that are sublimely omited by the spiritual authors on the site:

There researching that took me 5 minutes. I guess that's precious time that is better spent on daydreaming meditating instead of researching one of the 10 spiritually themed article son the most important site on the web.

As always in the most spiritual school in the universe facts are just pesky little detail that only get in the way of writing a great article.

Urgent message from the universe/Mesaj urgent de la univers

A paranoia filled crazy message from the spiritual leader of a non-profit organization that has the goal to promote spirituality and the spiritual elevation of humanity. (Combination of the information provided in the English and the Romanian language articles published on the official site of MISA on the 26th of February 2011):

Urgent Message from Grieg (26 February 2011 [appears in Romanian original not in English version])

My dears,

Please read carefully, a few times, the article at the end of this message. You can see that at the level of the solar system the events intensify. Now the time has come for us to take our hands out of our pockets and to stop shrugging our shoulders, and to stop saying in mockery: “I am not interested in any of this.” Please take into consideration that the time has come for all those who know about the Planetary Program of Urgent Action "No Apocalypse”, to act in unison, and to practice the method during the established times. If you do not do this, we can definitely expect a planetary catastrophe, which as we know, was foreseen and depicted in a terrifying vision seen by the Virgin Mary in front of 70,000 human beings, during her miraculous appearances and manifestations which took place in Fatima in 1917.
Considering this danger that is becoming imminent, we once again, ask all of you who know of the Planetary Program of Urgent Action “No Apocalypse”, to ensure that you practice the technique at least twice every day. I suggest that the Planetary Program of Urgent Action “No Apocalypse” be practiced at least three times every day by those of you who do not have a job. In this way, in unison, we can hope that through the help that God will offer to us when we mobilize ourselves, we will be able to avoid a catastrophe that could affect all of us and each one of us. Bear in mind that we already have at our disposal an important revelation that comes from God; remember that it is essential and that it should mobilize as many of us as possible, and at the same time it should mobilize each one of us to practice the Supreme and Efficient Method at least twice every day.

Please read carefully this message and decide that now, more then ever, it is the time to do something for Planet Earth, for all of us, for each one of us, before an inevitable catastrophe takes place, because once it occurs, our bitter regrets will be useless. Then, it will be useless to say: "We were so stupid that we didn’t mobilize ourselves in order to succeed, with God’s help, in avoiding this planetary catastrophe!” Please remember that knowing what is to be done and not acting is, and always will be, supreme cowardice, which will have disastrous results unless we act here and now, before it is too late. Remember that here and now, more than ever, we need a gram of practice that can save us, as well as Planet Earth.

It is time to keep in mind all the time that, by offering our help and by practicing the Supreme and Efficient Method, we will also help ourselves very much. In this way, we will feel the huge help that will manifest through our being, that comes from God the Father, when we practice at the established times the Supreme and Efficient Method. It is time for you to drop your selfishness and irrelevant priorities to one side and to aim, each one of you, to find the time to practice the Supreme and Efficient Method at least twice a day. We hope that in this way, God the Father will have mercy on us and that the imminent catastrophe that threatens Planet Earth will be postponed or, and why not? - even totally avoided.

We promise to keep you updated with the latest news regarding solar eruptions which will unleash from now on. By practicing the Supreme and Efficient Method twice a day, carefully and with perseverance, we can hope that in this way Planet Earth will be forgiven by God, and that the catastrophe foreseen and depicted by the Virgin Mary in Fatima in 1917 will not take place. It is time for you to show abnegation, and for you not to think that others will be mobilised and do the Method, so that you can just go on doing other useless activities, or which are obviously bad, thinking that others will do what we ourselves should actually do. We must remember that, symbolically speaking, the mythical sword of Damocles threatens Planet Earth, through the Sun.

Please act full of Self-giving, and please realize that each day that you live might now be your last day alive, if we all continue to indulge in inertia, in selfishness and if we continue to think in the mean way that is specific to many, that we do not have time for such things, considering that others who have enough time, will be mobilized. Remember that if many of those who have the “Planetary Program of Urgent Action: No Apocalypse!”
will think in the same mean way, then very few people will actually practice the Supreme and Efficient Method daily. In such a situation, we can expect that a catastrophe will be triggered which, without a doubt, will affect each one of us and everyone living on Planet Earth.

It is time to notice with lucidity the bad intentions and perversions of the mass media in Romania, which has so far refused and might as well continue to refuse to take into consideration the Planetary Program of Urgent Action “No Apocalypse”. This criminal attitude of the mass media in Romania is due to the fact that the Planetary Program of Urgent Action “No Apocalypse” is launched by this spiritual school, to which the mass media has declared an endless and unfair war. You can be sure that if such a “Planetary Program of Urgent Action: No Apocalypse!”
had been launched by the worldwide freemasonry, all mass media means would have presented the information every day, until saturation. Considering that the “Planetary Program of Urgent Action: No Apocalypse!”
was initiated by this spiritual school, the mass media will be silent on this issue, in this way proving that it indulges in a criminal attitude that is against the spirit of neutrality, which the mass media should have and should manifest. I mention this, not because we would have expected the mass-media to speak about the “Planetary Program of Urgent Action: No Apocalypse!”, but in order to emphasize in this way that the mass media is serving the worldwide freemasonry. This is why it no longer responds to the deep need that people have, of knowing the truth.

At the same time, it is necessary for you to notice the stupid attitude of the mass media, because if there is a planetary catastrophe, both newspaper and television companies as well as everybody working in them, will also be affected and many of them will lose their lives or their health will be seriously affected. Nevertheless, stubbornness, meanness and stupidity determine the leaders of the mass media to systematically pretend and continue to pretend that they have never heard of this “Planetary Program of Urgent Action: No Apocalypse!”

It is worth asking yourself: “Is this attitude fair?”, “Is it fair that the mass media doesn’t publish news about this Planetary Program of Urgent Action, which if known by as many people as possible and applied, will be able to save this planet?”

Given the hatred, spitefulness and perversity manifested by the mass media towards this school, it is not easy to imagine that any transformation of attitude will occur, which would be more than ever redeeming, both for our country and for the Planet Earth.

It is time to realize that all of us who have the “Planetary Program of Urgent Action: No Apocalypse!” at hand, must apply it twice a day, so that we can contribute to the avoidance of a catastrophic event which will become imminent if we are content to remain passive and to say “There is nothing to be done.”

Take into consideration that all that is left to be done from now on is to apply day by day the divinely inspired advice of the Virgin Mary. For that, all of us who have at least a seed of intelligence, responsibility and commonsense, must mobilize ourselves at once, before this catastrophe is unleashed, in order to stop it before it is produced.  
Remember that if we do not act now when it is still possible, nothing further can be done after such a catastrophe has affected the entire planet Earth for many months.
For those that have the financial resources, we suggest that from now on they make light offerings of one hundred candles a day, consecrating this light to counteract the catastrophe which could affect Planet Earth. To the extent to which it is possible, it is good to explain the Supreme and Efficient Method to relatives, close acquaintances and friends and eventually you can perform the The Supreme and Efficient Method with them in a group, in order to contribute to the fast annihilation of the malefic energies which expose our Planet Earth to the danger of this catastrophe.

Please take into consideration that signs which have recently appeared, show that the danger of bursting out of such a catastrophe is very large. Knowing this, it is very good to act now, before it is too late. Do not forget that regret that we did not do what we had to do will be worthless after such a terrible catastrophe is unleashed, if we indulge in states of inertia, indifference and egoism.

We will soon return with a much more extended article, which we have already started to prepare. We hope that all those who will attentively read this message  will mobilize themselves without delay, and will perform daily the “Planetary Program of Urgent Action: No Apocalypse!”.

Understanding the seriousness of the situation, it is necessary more than ever, for all of us to be mobilized and to act in unison, twice a day, from now on. Please do not forget that if as many of us as possible do not act, such a catastrophic phenomenon, as is also anticipated by scientists, can be produced at any time in reality, in any of the following days, shortly afterwards unleashing a terrible planetary catastrophe which would also affect us, we who knew what danger existed and that still, due to inertia and skepticism, we did not act.
  
We ask you from now on, not to forget that this godly initiative which we already have at our disposal, which is the Supreme and Efficient Method, will operate (both to our own individual good, and to the good of everybody) if many of us (especially those of us who know) act in unison from now on.

“To know and to not act is a supreme cowardice. You should never give up, especially when you are an initiate and you know a lot of efficient methods which you can apply when you are confronted with various adversities. Especially in such situations, you must continue to fight even when the times are adverse. You should never lose from sight the knowledge that at the same time, such situations also constitute certain spiritual tests for you.”
Yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru

Gigantic solar explosions that will destroy Planet Earth

Please watch these videos in order to realize that what is occurring is a reality which should give us an impulse to do something, since the danger is almost imminent!

Profesor yoga Gregorian Bivolaru

The NASA (USA) observatory for solar dynamics took these images of an immense solar eruption on the morning of 15th February 2011, between approximately 3:45 – 5:00 Romanian Time. The respective eruption happened within the solar spot 11058 and it is obvious, according to the estimations made shortly afterwards, that it was the most powerful solar explosion that has occurred in the last four years, including the one from August last year (2010), which could even be observed with the naked eye from Earth.   


Such bigger and bigger solar storms mean that at the same time, wonderful boreal auroras are triggered, phenomena which can be seen near the polar circles, but besides all these, they also mean terrible threats for Planet Earth. This recent solar eruption emitted a considerable quantity of high energy ultraviolet radiation (HEV) and expelled an immense mass from the crown of the sun, which was estimated to touch the Earth’s surface 36-48 hours later, and was capable of affecting both communication satellites, and the energy generating systems which exist on our planet. The solar eruption was the greatest one of the actual solar cycle, which started in the year 2008 and offered a shattering confirmation of the devastating effects which can appear on our planet. When the mass of particles and radiations impacted the Earth, high voltage power lines on the entire globe were affected, as well as the functioning of the satellites and, in southern China on Thursday 17th, short wavelength radio communications stopped working.
         
NASA researchers had foreseen that the solar activity would intensify, and the American Astro Physician Michio Kaku from New York University has warned that this activity will reach a maximum around 2012-2013 and that in the near future, very powerful solar explosions will occur. However, what is indicated from recent events is that such extremely intensive solar phenomena could unleash even faster than has been foreseen.
    
For this reason, the scholar Michio Kaku aims to convince the American administration to take measures to protect electronic and communication equipment so that they will be able to resist the more and more powerful solar eruptions which will be produced. It has been estimated that in 2013 such phenomena might be triggered, which risk becoming even more devastating for the energetic (electric) system of Planet Earth.
  
It is good to know that, according to the calculations of scientists, the Sun is capable of producing 20 times more powerful eruptions than that which occurred on 15th February. Last year (2010), Dr. Richard Fisher, Director of the Heliophysics department within NASA has been quoted in the international press as stating among other things, the following: “We know that such immense solar eruptions can appear, but we cannot estimate how bad they will be for planet Earth”. He added: “In the worst case, the first to fall will be the communication systems, satellites and airplane guiding systems. Then there will come the electric devices of banks, hospitals and even those in our own homes. If all this occurs, huge problems will appear for human kind. The life of millions of human beings will be endangered. Vast areas of the planet will remain in complete darkness for years because of fallen energy generating systems, as their reparation will take a very long time.” All this has been declared by Dr. Richard Fisher.     
For a better understanding of the importance of this Planetary Program of Urgent Action “No Apocalypse”, in your free time, please study carefully the two volumes of the brochure “Planetary Program of Urgent Action: No Apocalypse!”

End of quote.

For the complete and only 2 part brochure (only in Romanian sorry) can be also found here

Here's what is really going on

Watch from minute 1:37 of the video below: 

and read this link: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/SolarCycle/

Too bad that the illuminated spiritual master of misa doesn't endorse scientific understanding and accurate knowledge. Paranoia and unquestioned belief in everything he says is considered more spiritual and superior to any other form of knowledge. Great. I'm not surprised by the results, I'm just sorry for the unnecessary worry and fear that it brings to the believers.

And another thing for the misa spirituality fans here's a (more positive) message to meditate to (with added Romanian subtitles for your convenience):

Update: Note to the geniuses that translated this that Michio Kaku is a theoretical physics, not as stated in the MISA translation "Astro Physician". That would mean he's a (medical) doctor of stars (!!!). I'm sure prof. Kaku would also love to be that, seeing that it seems an interesting profession, but such a thing does not exist. And this is not like in the case of "spirituality" that they can just invent any term that suit them. In the case of scientific degrees and scientific fields they don't have the authority to introduce new names. 

The word doctor is not always substitutable with physician. That's only in the case of medical doctors not Phd doctors like prof. Kaku. 

How about that superior intellect and insight into higher realms of consciousness going dear translators of Misa? So you are capable to see all kinds of spiritual things that are not available to the rest of us mere mortals but not capable to use the correct word for a profession? Great job.  

I'm guessing the word they were looking for but were unable to find with all their superior spiritual knowledge is: astrophysicist. That would be correct but prof. Michio Kaku is not an astrophysicist he's a theoretical physicist. There's a difference. 

Chemtrails

This is a contrail, a nice colored one, enjoy!

So there we go again. Someone from the Misa vip section is reading a little bit too much crazy conspiracy websites (with a bias for the US kind) and so another amazing (not really) shocking (LOL) unique (ROLMF) revelations (copy-pasta) are made for the students of the Romanian conspiracy theories group spiritual school via articles on their official website and nonofficial blog.
What should make you laugh (or cry) is the fact that they still are claiming non-profit and educational status while they are not only not helping people but actively reducing their intellectual level by feeding them stuff like this.

A series of articles about chemtrails appeared on the official website for the biggest yoga school in Europe (*sarcasm*).

So as we see again spirituality @ Misa = wasting your precious time and scaring you with things that you should know are quite normal. Thanks.

MISA not a unique case

I've just found these articles connecting the recently immensely popular "Eat, pray, love" book and movie and a cult called Siddha Yoga Dham of America.

The "Eat, Pray, Love" guru's troubling past article 

The response of Siddha Yoga Dham of America. Note the similarities with the articles on yogaesoteric.net about the horrible newspaper articles are written about them.

An analysis of the movement.

and the blog of a former member of ten-plus years. 

An interesting point about the cult and it's evolution till today. Eerily similar with the current state of the MISA guru Magnus Aurolson. 

MISA member of ….

In the article posted in May 2005 and still up on the official MISA website that states that MISA is a member of the International Yoga Federation as well as other various international yoga organizations. Now let's see if they are (since they didn't remove the article from the site and if someone find this article they can think that it's still true. It's not and this is a blatant lie, which they should know that is not only illegal but also forbidden by their own teachings in the very first year, so they should know). 

The first site cited is the website of the International Yoga Federation. 

The site is not available now. 

But the International Yoga Federation I found is here. And there the list of member organizations does not mention MISA nor their Danish/Swedish/Russian/any other branch Natha. 

The next organization mentioned is the European Yoga Federation. 

The website for this organization is given as 

http://www.europeyogafederation.cjb.net/ which is also not available. But on the site we can find the recognized organizations by continent and looking at the European section we can't find anything similar to the MISA or Natha schools. 

The next organization is the European Yoga Alliance. No website is given in the article but after a few seconds of search we can find the site.  Here if we look at the list of the council members we can't find the name of neither Gregorian Bivolaru nor Mihai Stoian. Nor can we find their names at the list of board members. 

Also at the list of member organizations we can't find MISA nor NATHA. 

But let's look at the list of individuals registered at the European Yoga Alliance. Nope, their not there either. 

Nor are they on the registered people list on the international yoga registry list for Romania. 

Or Denmark. The only person registered at the International Yoga Registry in Denmark (Natha's home) is Meta Yoga. 

But the article makes a point of differentiating between the international and the European yoga councils and organizations. Ok, let's see the World Yoga Council Europe section. No, their not there either. 

And in another article they criticize the (oh the horror of) practicing yoga as a sport. So I'm guessing their not a member of the International Yoga Sports organization. Well of course not. 

How about those international congresses organized by MISA?

According to the International Yoga Registry's site regarding news mentions the conferences since 1986 till 2010 but MISA is missing in an absolute manner. 

How about that? 

So what was all that big spectacle in 2006 with the “international” and since even more “international” congress that they organized? 

This year the congress was exclusively MISA. And they went as far as giving the prizes of the conference contest to Natha teachers. The winner of course was Adina Stoian, the female counterpart of MISA nr. 2 Mihai Stoian and the current boss of MISA. 

Ok, so the final count is? No international organization recognizes MISA or any of their other branches as their member. Great. Now why can't they admit that? 

MISA and the practice of Satya

I was just looking at the list of current members of the International Yoga Federation, because I was reading on Gregorian Bivolaru's official website that he was a lifelong member.

Turns out he's not, but that's nothing new. A certain woman by the name of Maa Parvathi Nath Saraswati cought my eye. According to the description she is based in India and the Co-Director of the School of Awakening, U.K. And the Saraswati River Yoga USA. I thought I'd do a search for these schools maybe their in English. And lo and behold:

School of Awakening 

Turns out the British branch is closed now 

But apparently the US school is active (last class was on November the 26th if it's 2010, because it does not specify)

What I found strange is that the founder (note the reference to her as the founder) was being promoted a bit too much for my cultish sensitive taste so I went to her website. 

And the first thing that greets you there is a big picture of Parvathi (note the use of the chosen spiritual name instead of the civil name) in a classic yoga pose sitting on what appears to be a jaguar skin. I don't know if this is a classic Hindu imagery or not but the newagers do love this image. 

Reading on her website and the website of the yoga school I kept finding passages or phrases that reminded me very much of the cultish texts of MISA. For example: 

Parvathi is the disciple of Lalita Devi and heir of the deepest tantric tradition of Kashmirian Shaivism. The lineage of the Nath goes back to Matsyendranath himself and through him to the oldest sources of Shaivism. 

MISA loves the  Kashmirian Shaivism too.

She received the transmission of the deepest teachings of the Kaula lineage and became an adept in the art of mantras and the different sadhanas. She practiced the sadhana of the Ten Mahavidyas dedicated to Kali, Tara, Tripurasundari, Bhuvaneshvari, Chinnamasta, Bhairavi, Dhumavati, Baglamukhi, Matangi and Kamala. Then she was initiated to the teachings and cosmic practice of Shree Vidya that she transmits today. As the years passed she also received training in the Mishra and Samaya schools of Tantra. She is heir to three profound streams of Tantra and Yoga lineage.

 Not just one but three ey? Wow three for the price of one.

She trains teachers in this integrated method of yoga transmitted originally from the yoginis, the Vedas and the Tantras. 

The aim of Parvathi's teaching is to assist men and women's growth in integrating the depths of consciousness including the physical, the mental, and the spiritual levels. To bring the individual consciousness at its fullest to merge with something greater - the integral whole of consciousness. 

Under the Traditional Sadhana Opportunities (teachings and practice) section we find the following statement:

If you are not known to Parvathi, a letter of introduction will be required from a spiritual teacher.

Do they have to send in photos of themselves in bikini's (two pieces for women, one piece for men) as well? 

Under Sadhana Descriptions we find description's of a few of the Ten Mahavidyas mentioned above, which strike me as very similar to the version taught at MISA.

Stunningly beautiful, radiating the brilliant yellow light of a thousand suns, Baglamukhi is the stillpoint where duality is transcended as the mind returns to emptiness. (….)

The email address that is given for contact is also similar to another MISA superstition: magical names. In MISA the most advanced or spiritual desciples also use such usernames and email addresses inspired by Hindu mithology. 

Please email tripurasundari9@gmail.com for an appointment and for fees. 

But on the upside (or maybe not) at least she notes that:

Private consultations are not psychotherapy and this work is not meant as a substitute for psychotherapy or as an alternative to seeking medical treatment.

And also there's another disclaimer on the front page regarding Tantra:

This is not to be confused with neo-Tantra sexuality from which Parvathi and this lineage distinguishes themselves. 

So all in all my impressions of a world yoga council recognizes yoga school are not much better than those of MISA. Maybe the only differences are that they post disclaimers on their sites and maybe don't organize in ashrams but sell their classes in gym membership style because it's a faster profit. Hey maybe this woman does not have aspirations to become a spiritual guide to the largest yoga school on the continent like Grieg but I'd say the potential is still there. 

Not to mention the pseudo-science which is even more shamefull because 

As a young girl Parvathi traveled throughout America, Europe and India due to her father's profession as a scientist.

Now maybe that's a different kind of scientist than the one I'm thinking of.

Now why the long post about some American yoga teacher and her school? Not to attack them or anything (although I don't agree with her on many things) just to note that the unofficial yet close to the leadership of MISA blog uses her image to promote their ideas. 

A different source for the picture.

Link appears to be broken, here's the picture. 

Note the fact that her name is visible on this version not like the one used by the MISA yogis. 

Now if Ms. Kirin Mishra would like to distance herself from “neo-Tantra sexuality from which Parvathi and this lineage distinguishes themselves” why did she give consent that her picture be up on such a site that promotes the heavily neo-Tantra school MISA? 

Oh wait, maybe she didn't? No way that could be considered theft of intellectual propriety and a breach of the basic human right to define oneself.*

*note the sarcasm


Update: The http://www.parvathinandanath.com/ site seems to be under construction and the content to which I linked is no longer available. Wonder why.
Update 2: Site is back up, with the official portrait changed. 

The favorite science fiction author of MISA: Baba Vanga

Lately the MISA sites are full (there are more of course) of the oh, so guarantied-to-come-true prophecies of a now deceased Bulgarian medium named Baba Vaunlikeleyunlikeleynga. They are of course sure that she confirmed their crazy ideas about the future of mankind. And of course their special role in it all.

Now I have my own hypothesis about these prophecies. I hereby submit the hypothesis that she was actually a not too original sci-fi writer wannabe. For an alternate list of prophecies see here and here.
See the list of supposed things to come below:

2008 - Assassination attempts on four heads of states. Conflict in Indonesia. That becomes one of the causes for the start of WWIII.(*personal note: well this didn't happen)

2010 - The start of WWIII. The war will begin in November of 2010 and will end in October of 2014. Will start as a normal war, then will include usage of nuclear and chemical weapons.(*update on the 14th of January 2011 and there's still no world wide war. According to this we should be in full war mode for 2 moths now)

2011 - Due to the radioactive showers in Northern Hemisphere - no animals or plants will be left.(*personal note: so those of you who like to eat, enjoy those burgers and stuff till' then) Muslims will begin chemical war against Europeans who are still alive.

2014 - Most of the people in this world will have skin cancer and skin related diseases. (as a result of chemical wars).

2016 - Europe is almost empty

2018 - China becomes the new world power.

2023 - Earth’s orbit will change slightly

2025 - Europe is still barely populated

2028 - Development of a new energy source. (Probably controller thermonuclear reaction) Hunger slowly stops being a problem. Piloted spaceship to Venus deploys. (see the movie First spaceship on Venus from the year 1960. Vanga died in 1996 so....)

2033 - Polar ice caps melt. World ocean levels rise.

2043 - World economy is prosperous. Muslims are running Europe.

2046 - Any organs can be mass produced. (see the movie The Island) Exchange of body organs becomes the favorite method of treatment.

2066 - During it’s attack on Rome (which is under control of the Muslims) U.S.A. uses a new method of weapons - has to do with climate change. Sharp freezing.

2076 - No class society (communism)

2084 - The rebirth of the nature.

2088 - New disease. - People are getting old in few seconds.(see the Stargate SG1 sci-fi series episode Brief Candle)

2097 - This disease is cured.

2100 - Man made Sun (see the move 2010 Space Odyssey II) is lighting up the dark side of the planet Earth.

2111 - People become robots. (see anything by I. Asimov)

2123 - Wars between small countries. Big countries don’t get evolved.

2125 - In Hungry the signals from Space are received. (Contact, E.T., 80% of sci-fi really) (People will be reminded of Vanga again)

2130 - Colonies under water (advices from aliens)

2154 - Animals become half-humans.

2167 - New religion

2170 - Big drought.

2183 - Colony on Mars (see the movie Total recall) becomes nuclear nation and is asking for independence from the Earth. (same way as U.S. did from England)

2187 - Successfully two volcano eruptions are stopped.

2195 - Sea colonies are fully supplied with energy and food.

2196 - Full mixture between Asians and Europeans.

2201 - Thermonuclear reactions on the Sun slow down. Temperatures Drop.

2221 - In the search of Alien life, human beings engage with something very freighting. (*personal note think Alien)

2256 - Spaceship brings a freighting new disease into Earth.

2262 - Orbits of planets start to change progressively. Mars is under a threat of being hit by a comet.(that needs paranormal powers to predict LOL. Funny because "Mars is located closer to the asteroid belt, so it has an increased chance of being struck by materials from that source. Mars is also more likely to be struck by short-period comets, i.e., those that lie within the orbit of Jupiter.")

2271 - Physic properties are calculated over, since they changed. (*personal note: what does this even mean????)

2273 - Mix of yellow, white, and black race. New race. (too bad that nice old racist Vanga didn't know that we are all ONE race, there are not more human races, we are one race biologically speaking, so this is impossible)

2279 - Energy out of nothing (probably from vacuum or black holes)

2288 - Travel through time. New contacts with the aliens.(*need I point out how frequent a them this is in sci-fi movies and novels?)

2291 - Sun cools. Attempts to fire it up again are taken.(this has recently been adapted as the movie Sunshine)

2296 - Bright flashes on the Sun. Force of gravity changes. Old space stations and satellites begin to fall

2299 - In France, there is a partisan uprising against Islam.

2302 - New important new laws and mysteries about the universe are uncovered.

2304 - The mystery of the Moon is uncovered. (*personal note: wonder what that is?)

2341 - Something frightening is closing in with Earth from the space. (like int that shitty move Armageddon with Bruce Willis?)

2354 - Accident on one of the man made suns, will result in drought.

2371 - Mighty hunger.

2378 - New and fast growing race.

2480 - Two man made suns will collide. Earth is in the dark.

3005 - War on Mars. Trajectory (maybe orbit of the planets, trajectory makes no sense here since the planets are not falling, going or doing anything requiring this term. They are orbiting the Sun because of the Sun's gravitational field. But this may just be a bad translation.) of planets changes.

3010 - Comet will ram into the Moon. (Not the first time that's happened. "The other major geologic process that has affected the Moon's surface is impact cratering, with craters formed when asteroids and comets collide with the lunar surface. There are estimated to be roughly 300,000 craters wider than 1 km on the Moon's near side alone") Around Earth there is a belt of rocks and dust

3797 - By this time, everything living on Earth dies. But humans are able to put in the essentials for the beginning of a new life in a new star system.

Well, it's a bit repetitive, not too original, but it sure seems more like fiction then something plausible. On the other hand looking at the history of Earth so far this seems way too boring and so that probability that things will get this dull is very unlikely also. But from a semi-illiterate or illiterate woman born and raised in the first half of the last century's rural Bulgaria it's not too bad. 

Sensational new book launching by Gregorian Bivolaru (who actually is called Magnus Aurolson now but never mind that)

On various sites affiliated with MISA we can see a brand new ad for the new and improved book by spiritual master*, spiritual school leader**, yoga teacher*** Gregorian Bivolaru.****

On Gregorian Bivolaru's official site. But that's not too bad. I's his book he can promote it all he wants. 

Also interesting to note the editor's(Mihai Stoian) note to the book launching:

"I am very happy to announce the launching of the book “The Secret Tantric Path of Love to Happiness and Fulfillment in a couple relationship” written by Yoga Professor Gregorian Bivolaru, as a result of years of research and deep understanding on the human emotions, psychic and mind."

(accent mine)

The author Gregorian Bivolaru does not have any degree nor in medicine, nor psychology, nor has he published any research in any peer reviewed scientific paper. He is not a researcher. This book can only contain his personal opinions but not research in any sense of the word. What he defines as research is  making his disciples wait for him for hours in an uncomfortable hot tent in August of every year. As for his publishing career, that si limited to the Yoga magazine the monthly/yearly publication of MISA about and for their own students, yogaesoteric the MISA official site and his books published by various MISA publishing houses. 

A former version of the book was already given to the participants of the 2006 MISA camp in Costinești. 

Spoiler alert: it's not that good. It's very boring and long winded full of MISA specific expressions that outsiders might not understand. 

On the official site's front page, nice to see that a non-profit organization for the elevation of the spiritual level of humanity is pimping a book. 

On MISA leader nr. 2 Mihai Stoian's personal webpage. 

And because of this on the official Natha website where it's in the category of spiritual events. 

On Costică Cojocaru's blog (yoga teacher at MISA and one of the few people granted permission to take pictures at MISA events). 

On another one of the few people granted permission to photograph at MISA events Malin Oloier's blog

Note the subliminal messaging in the header of Natha Publishing House.

*Although he actually has never proven that he is a spiritual master in any way, besides letting his disciples call him that. 

**Although MISA can hardly be called a school let alone a spiritual school. 

***Although he technically doesn't have any sort of degree or qualification to call himself that. 

****Although he is now called Magnus Aurolson because he changed his name since receiving political asylum in Sweden.
