Super interesting to see he comes from an atheist family. I met him back in November 2015. He's one of the strongest presences I've ever been close to (the full room shifted once he stepped in) and I respect him and admire him so much. He gave a meditation workshop and some adjustments in the Mysore practice for the people here. I was quite sick back then and I didn't practice that much, and I remember he always looked at me with a smile and without a single drop of judgement. He adjusted one or two poses I could do and I still have quite a vivid memory about how gentle it was. I'm super thankful for that day and I hope to meet him again.

Interesting, Petri's description of his 'experience' during that pranayama class__the orange 'light' radiating upon, and surrounding, his presence. All he has gleaned from his practices over the years__to be kind, loving, compassionate toward others, as well as, to ourselves__I believe those experiential moments are what may be considered connections with God. 💖 Thank you for this dialogue with a humble Spirit. 😇 Love, Light, and Blessings. 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺

Helsinki I stayed there in 1975 after taking the ferry from Stockholm overnight to those gorgeous Lily pad Islands there off of the harbor in Helsinki The dome church that took up a whole block was mind-blowing all copper inside with colored seating that blended with the copper with the in the purple Hugh that was the most intriguing architecture that I have seen thus far traveling through Europe I traveled from there across Norway to the fjords in Bergen and all the way down to Tangiers the day of Franco's funeral I was passing the Rock of Gibraltar and everyone was in reverence of Franco's death I was very impressed with their hands on their hearts for their dictator
