For many people, Agama Yoga has been the fulfillment of a long-awaited dream. For long decades now – and maybe even since centuries in the West – people of rational orientation have waited for a scientific presentation of metaphysical and spiritual truths, yet which should not lose its mysterious, magical and sacred flavor. Many seekers have dreamt about a system of practice and evolution that should be at the same time clear, effective, goal-oriented and rational, and also truly spiritual, transcendent in its aspirations, enlightening and compassionate. For such people the teachings given by Agama Yoga are exactly the right combination.

“Agama is an authentic tantric path. Agama is the path of the agamas (of the tantric texts) of the tantric tradition from India and Tibet. Today, there are very few places in the world, in where this kind of yoga, this kind of practice, this kind of knowledge is being preserved and Agama Yoga have been given the responsibility, the stewardship of preserving these things.

So, Agama Yoga is a spiritual path from A to Z and it has, on one hand, the main trunk of the tree, which goes with the levels and everything from Muladhara to Ajna and Sahasrara, to the higher Chakras, to the states of Samadhi and to the higher states of consciousness, but of course we are aware that a very limited number of people in this world have that kind of aspiration and have that kind of longing and then the tree of Agama contains many other gifts.

There are things about healing and things about improving daily life. There are things that relate to cleansing your psychological blockages, things about having a much better sex life, there are about a hundred other things, which address the body, the energy, the emotions, and the mind, which Agama does address collaterally.

They do happen in Agama, anyway, as byproducts of Yoga, as byproducts of your spiritual practice and we have many, many people, who are in Agama precisely because of those collaterals.

For us, we see only the vertical dimension, you know, the big picture. But besides that it is like a tree which is loaded with a lot of gifts on all the branches and therefore, there are many, many collateral things that people can get from Agama and it starts with a simple thing, which is so very important such as health, body, energy and similar things.

We aim much higher than that, way beyond that. But that’s not to be denied or neglected. It’s still very important.”
