Gather around me everybody, gather around me.

While I preach some feel

assertment coming on me. The topic will be sin, and that's what I'm again. If you
want to hear my story, then settle back and just sit tight.

I'm supposed to introduce myself. And at this point, it's difficult to say when I
meet people, I either tell them I'm old and grouchy or I'm young and beautiful and
I'm a liar. But my name is Shakti Parawa Carlsa.
- Shakted in that frame. I want you to share the framework.

Blessings, blessings, and blessings. Shockty Parracarcasso was the first student of
Yogi Budgets. He named her the mother of 3h0 and his executive secretary.
- Then, how did I meet Yogiba Oh, yes, I had been to India and this Yogi was
coming and I wanted to introduce him to places where he could teach. So I drove
them around. He gave us Koon Leo guy to share it. And prior to that, it was never
taught publicly. It was always kept just for disciples who had proved worthy. And
he said, No way, everybody's worthy.

It was a time of the hippie movement. And he could see, no matter what the
outside was or how scruffy they were, he saw the God in them. He says, if you
can't see God in all, you can't see God at all. I could see people changing and they
kept coming back and it became very popular. And he told me, he said, Someday
this is going to spread all over the world and it has.
- This is good to have exact dissectors sitting by the sites to keep on giving
instructions of things keep moving.
- He needed a letter written for him. And then that evolved into my being his
executive secretary. He told me about what he called the three etch o and I said,
Oh, people will think that's some kind of a religion. I used to argue with him about
everything. But to be healthy, to be happy, and I objected the word wholly
because I thought it sounded sanctimonious. But what he really meant by Holy
was to be whole, to be complete to share in the concept that you are a divine
being temporarily in this limiting form on Earth. And that's what I think. Should be
the legacy of 3-h-o.

You've got to accent, you wait the positive E-limb, innate the negative and latch
on-to the affirmative don't mess with Mr. in between, no, don't mess with mister
in between applause please. Thank you.
He comes back from San Francisco 1110 and Satsanto Sing had set up this show,
this TV show. And it was in black and white and it was an interview show, was a
very first TV interview, and he had this footage, and he hands this too, and he
says, Guard this with your life. It will mean something some day. And it remained
with me, because I was to guard it with my life, right? Never forget your
assignment. In other words, the censors would mean union. It is a union of the
consciousness to be high consciousness, where an individual can please himself
some negativity, some fear complex. People who's as possible might all the time,
but we've started the body. Body is a unit. It is a waiter which has been granted to
work through the channel of time on planet Earth to liberate ourselves. In other
words, we have to liberate ourselves from negativity, and we have achieved the
power consciousness within this consciousness. I mean, we have to develop a
difficultist to get up and moving, I have dollars. And then he looked at all that was
going on in America and in West in Europe and all around. And he said, Okay, we
need something that's really powerful, we need something that works really
quickly. And so of all the different forms that he had been working with, he
decided that Kundelini Yoga was going to be the one that would make the most
impact.
- Oh, producing people.
- My mission here is just producing this because I don't need a query in a smooth
teacher. And my personal communicator was a gathering of us in the estate at the
ranch, maybe in the early 2000s. And he called across the room to you. And he
said, good of saying, he said, we had no idea what we were doing when we
started out, did we? And I looked back at him. And I looked at him. And I said,
well, I thought you did. It was not so much that we didn't know what we were
teaching. It meant that we didn't know that this lifestyle was going to unfold in
this way. We didn't know that we were all going to take on this dautomic
appearance. We didn't know that we were going to focus our lives in this
particular way.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

My mimicry of yoga budget and my copycat mechanism of Yogy budget and of the
city sinksaw is Human. Hue, he said his light. Man is Sanskrit for Mind. Be with
light in your mind. And whatever you have to do on the physical level, on the
nutritional level, whatever. In every situation, be the one that brings light.

Got I Sometimes I'm not sure why am I here? Why am I doing this? Is this all life is
supposed to be? Is this it? But when they get a chance to tap into that spirit
inside, they feel who they really are inside, they get a glimpse of that light. And
there's nothing more you have to say.

Satanam, I'm Chris and I'm a community-yoga teacher, trainer.

- But it's nice that? She is. My life was theater, and just as my career was really
zooming, taking up in New York. Something started happening inside that had me
questioning myself. It was right in the highly silver rights activity in the mid-60s.
People were questioning themselves and nearly just saying, okay, well, who am I
really? And what am I supposed to be doing in my life? So when I found him the
yoga in Boulder, Colorado in June of 1970. It just sit light bulbs off flashing. Wow,
wow.

So that's how I kind of got started after a few months. I met Yogy Budget and he
yelled at me in.

Tell me I should go out and start teaching my people, and I said, But I don't know
anything. But after a while, I planning had to say yes because he wouldn't stop
yelling.
- Chris and I was very pure at heart, very graceful interactions and very humble as
a human, which is very rare. He has amazing personality, I'm very proud of her.
And sometimes, she has better qualities than I have. She has better and doodles
then I'm glad.
- I went out and I called a friend who was the theater and he had this actress
group. And I said, I gotta teach a class in yoga, can I come and teach you? And I
taught that class and I surprised myself. I had no idea that I knew as much as I
knew. I said, Golly, how did he know? How did he know? And that's the beauty of
having a teacher like Yogi Budget, somehow things that you don't know yourself.
- Chances are. You may know them.

I've been doing this practice for many years. It is part of my life. I love it. And I
have a couple of things that I'm involved in, yoga for youth, my passion, because it
gives us a chance, gives me a chance to serve the future. That's what your future
does.
- It's the other part of my activity, sent us around the work that I do in Africa. I
started off teaching in Ghana, there's so many people there who are getting
connected to the whole idea of yoga and they're experiencing it deeply and have a
tremendous passion for it. And I've done one, the first one they did in Burundi,
which is in East Africa. And that happened to be a place where they had a lot of
civil war and several of the young people who were taking the course were
actually very active in the civil struggles in that country. So it was inspiring to see
them walk hours from their village to get to class because there was no
transportation or transportation was cut off. And to see their intention, it was so
pure and so strong and their desire and their longing to learn and to know and to
understand, it's just great, it's just heartwarming and great. It says to me that
what we're doing between the yoga and the teacher training all around the world
is so appropriate now. It doesn't matter where people are. We're all going through
the same things and they show up differently. Just saying, and once they've had an
experience with doing the yoga, they recognize, well, yeah, this is what I need this
remedy for. And that's what so beautiful about the science of Kunioka because it
transcends all language, it transcends all cultures, it transcends all economic
status, human beings everywhere are vibrating in a way that these teachers can
touch them, expand them, strengthen them, and give them clarity.

And you And you are!

And you are mild. Mildly friends Free. You're my father. My brother and my father.
And you are my sister and my brother. You are always right. Beside me.

Do teach me. And to guide me.

When I started with Kunderlini Yoga, I told myself, OK, I'll give it a try. And also
when I decided, OK, I'm going to be in the asharm now. I'm going to give it a try.
And after half a year, if I still find that this is OK, then I continue. If there's
something that I don't like that's going to be the time when I leave. So after half a
year I checked myself and I thought, Wow, I would really be stupid if I leave now
because it's just the beginning. It was like a waking up. It was like, Wow, I realized
who I am. It's like starting to feed myself from the inside of all of a sudden. I was
like becoming really aware who I was, and that was one of my big, big questions
had been that, who am I?

We're in chateau nine in France and it's about an hour and a half west of Paris. I'm
here for the level one immersion. They're first immersion here at Chetawanand.
And there's also concurrently the level three process has just begun today.
- Here as well.
- We're quite satisfied with having this place as a kind of permanent yoga
university where people can come, be rejuvenated, find healing. And the main
reason is just to study and get deeper into the teachings. Do save a camera yoga?
- The three-show yoga boarded in 2010. It was a building project for the first four
years. And so last year, you gained the opening permits 2050. So this is really the
first year of full operation. We've had preliminary plans drawn up by the architect
to create two yoga rooms, a good wire room, some office space and some ash
around living space really. We relatively comfortably can host, I would say 160,
170 people, and we have meadows for more people for camping. The castle has
13 rooms, some are big, some are small. We have already the kitchen and two
teaching rooms there.

- I've been here three weeks and this is the final week. The identity of a teacher is
a very lonely job, right? It's a lonely experience if you really are there to deliver
people, it's not about you ever. And so this is the one place as teachers we can
come together and be for each other and be real. Hopefully take each other to a
new level of understanding and personal maturity. Yeah. That's why we started
healthy, happy, wholly, way of life, and that is folks became three at you. It is a
dream come true. It was a very pure part in which there was no human worship.

But every human was worshiped equally.

There was no teacher. Everybody wants to be a potential teaching.

- I'm not a woman.
- I'm aware.
- Not myself.

The case of behind us is a dream. It took us a long time to manifest and it's a
dream that started as long as I've been in the Asian. The big, big, big sign that a
dream has really come through is when we renovate the shutter, which is not so
run-down from the inside, but it needs a complete overhaul on heating, isolation
and sanitation. We're building and building to create a center of excellence. So we
can welcome people and serve the teachings.

The people they are looking for something because what they have doesn't work
and they start to feel inadequate for the situation. They start to feel a lot, they
don't know what to do with the feeling that they have. And sometimes they find
that it's the right part for them. And I think there are two categories. The people
that just pass through to the other. So they have some benefit, they can import in
this lifestyle, but they are at the border. And then there are a lot of people like us
that speak with your thought and make it the part of life.
- And why did you stick with that?
- Why? Because I met one person possible view of the virgin. Yes.

I'm not my hair. I'm not my skin. I'm not my hair. I'm not my skin. I am the soul
where then I was a rock and roll musician. I had a band called Cat's Cradle from 68
to 72. We opened for the Almond Brothers. We opened for Ryan Butterfly. We had
a record contract with Peer Southern Music in New York City, but I got to the point
where there was this inner voice, that's the quietest voice. It's kind of the voice of
the soul. It was crying out. I mean, it was in pain and was saying, Hey man, you
better find an alternative way to feel uplifted or you're going to die.

And then I end up pulling out this little red book called Roger Yoga by Swami
Vavacananda. And one of the early chapters, it said that when the consciousness
is ready, the spiritual teacher will manifest on the physical plane. I remember
reading that. At that moment I was like praying that my consciousness was ready
for a teacher. But a week later. You know, the band calls me up and they had
landed a gig at Smith College in Northampton Mass. I'm stitting into student union
before sound check and somebody's walking around carrying flyers. All of a
sudden, it was almost a disembodied voice came out of me and said, I'll have one
of those and I like, did I say that? And they turn around and they're holding this
flyer with the tradicum picture of the yoga gee gee. And I looked at it and said,
Classes in Kindley and Yoga as taught by Yogy Budget on Wednesday night at the
boathouse at Smith College. I hits type 17 miles from where we were. And sure
enough, I get there and is a cunningly yoga class taught by his tall guy with a white
turbine and a long beard. After 45 minutes of yoga, where I was experiencing
muscles that I didn't even know I had. When we came out of the deep relax, he
had this gentleman whose name was Sat Rutton Scene. He pulls out this nylon
string guitar, and he starts chanting to Gurround us. Good a good why, good a
good ambassador, most beautiful melody. I'm sitting there, and tears just started
pouring out of my eyes. A different kind of tear than I'd ever experienced. I call it
later on. Those tiers are called the nectar of devotion. Because my heart shocker
had been ripped wider. You know, ripped wide open. And so at the end of the
class I go up and I go, Mr. Budget, it turns out as Baguan Sing, who later became a
very good friend. He looked at me and goes, I'm not yoga budget. And I looked
and I said, Well, I don't know who you are then or where you guys came from. But
would you take me with you? And I've never looked back. I've been in three HO
ever since. Soon thereafter, I met Yogi Budget. He was giving a lecture, meditation
class lecture at University of Massachusetts. I hear a door open. I didn't even look.
And all of a sudden, I felt this incredible wave of energy hit me in the back. And I
like looked up and there's Yogi Budgen, striding down robes flowing. And he stops
and looks at me. And I look at him, I'm like, and he says, What took you so long?
And I'm like, I couldn't say a word. I was like, What?

So then he proceeded down and he gave the lecture, and he spoke right to my
condition.
- You know, six hours these 16 cocaines, and all that is nothing if you do this gear
up for about 10, 15 minutes. It'll be very difficult to come down into the letter. You
know what I mean? It's got a natural high. The rest of the band wasn't interested.
And here I am getting up at 3 in the morning when we're on tour and there going
to bed at three in the morning. And I let go of all the drugs and everything which
is what he was kind of instructing us to do at the time. And they could feel me
kind of pulling away. So they kept trying to bring me back into the culture. I was in
tremendous pain about it because I love them. They were my family. So I went to
talk to Yogy, and he said, You know, whatever you leave behind to walk on the
spiritual path will remanifest in a higher form. And that's what this has been.
- Why is you?
- Reader at all. I have a band called a gurgonesh a band, which I love. And I love to
serve the planet, be it the sound, the sacred sound. It's kind of a mix of classic
rock and sacred mantras.

Always beyond the reach. Always on screen. I Well up beyond the reach.
- Always on sleep.
- There's no image justice.
- Yogiji always said that the whole purpose of life was to touch an upleft to be a
fortleft. Elevate yourself, elevate your others. Anybody who wants to go and live in
a pentose has to have a lift.

Anybody who wants to expand his power has to become a forklift, a forklift, you
know. So this is my way of trying to do that. I got 100 other stories, but we got a
concert.

I got the inspiration for spirit boyage, and I brought that concept to him, right at
the dawn of the new millennium, you know, like literally January 2000. So I want
to talk to Yogy. He looked at me, he looked at it, and he says, OK. This is good.
- There was an interest in sacred music out there. There were record labels
starting to be created that were making music from different paths and he felt
like, why shouldn't our music get out there, you know? Why wouldn't as many
people want to hear the mantras that come from the Finlay New Yoga and seek
tradition as any other. And I wanted to get the beautiful healing sound current of
three-e-cho and of his legacy, I knew he was going to okay. Because he felt like it
was really coming from my soul, not my ego. I felt really called to do it. And I
didn't care about making any money with it because I've been so blessed with my
other business, which continues on even to this day. And I just wanted to give
back. He just was so driven by getting this music out there. When I first started
working at Spirit Voyage, they were packing Cds in his garage. It was like it didn't
matter to him what the barriers were. We know this music is going to change
people's lives. We know hearing these mantras that change people's lives. It
doesn't matter if it's hard. CA All of a sudden, we got them out there in the whole
yoga community, loved it way beyond 3h0 - hundreds of thousands and millions of
people in all walks of life, listening to that album. Those albums, babies are born
to those albums. People are dying. They want to hear that music. Yogajit love that
music. So he knew what was going to happen.

Five years into spirit voyage, you know, synonym and I were doing like 75 to 100
events concerts. We're playing in prisons, youth detention centers. We're playing
everywhere. We're on the road five, six months, and I just couldn't run do my
sales training. I couldn't run spared voyage anymore.
- So I called up Greg Nasha and I said, You teach sales, can I come to a sales
training? Cut and grew up in our community. I was sitting in the hallway chanting
to grew around us when she was born. Turns out she's like the smartest person in
the class, or the most personality just, you know, Newcrotch. And then I asked her
this question, I said, What's your vision for your career? Where do you want to be
three years from now? She said, I want to be the CEO of a company whose
products, services I really have conviction.
- It's like please, will you come run sphere and voyage for me? I think that's what
you're supposed to do. So that's where it started.
- There were a couple of gentlemen from Indie wanted a biscuit voyage. And
cotton comes to me the day. The day or two before I was going to finalize this
deal. And he says, Gurgonesha, I don't want you to sell the company. I said,
Really? I mean, they're offering us a very good price here. Said, No, this company
is way too important to the DARMA, to the legacy of the OGG. I want you to sell it
to me if you're going to sell it. I said really, I would say, OK, well, where are you
going to come up with the money? She said, You're going to make a creative deal.
We were flying somewhere the next day. We did the whole deal on a napkin,
suddenly I owned Spears.
- And then eventually cut and brought me in and we were business partners for a
number of years. One of the ideas that we came up with was this idea of really
promoting the music of our community, the Coloneline Yoga music, the music of
Citigroud Runside, the Grarbani. And tying it all into a big event that would really
be a celebration of our community's creative expression. I was texting her. I was
like, we kind of do this event. It's going to be autism. We're going to have great
food. We're going to have
