there are podcasts.
A park somewhere in
Germany in June 2023.
My colleague Christiane
Havranek has been
dating Liz here.
Read struggled very much
with leaving
her yoga school.
But now she wants to meet
again in person, after
weeks of full in
some of them was really
angry.
Here for example. How can it be
possible that in Germany,
in the middle of Berlin,
a school like this can be closed?
Nothing and nobody that does it.
That’s what the fuck
is wrong here.
Not only in Berlin, but also
in Munich, Dresden, Hamburg.
In 2024, there are 9 cities
in which the German Academy for
Traditional Yoga sites will be located.
Where does Liz Anger come from?
Christiane hopes to
find out today.
Like the last time, she has
her red blanket.
He spreads it out on the
grass again.
Both are sitting on the shore
of a pond.
But this time something changed.
There are two people who
are familiar with each other.
And read smiles to Christiane.
Unlike the last meeting,
she seems to be really
happy to get rid of her
experiences at school
with someone.
On her yellow cape pulli, it
is written in large letters
Voila la Realité. Here
is the reality.
This is an announcement.
I would be more interested
in just giving you more information
and I brought you
the book.
Super is. Read picked up a book and
put
it on her blanket. It is pink.
On the cover two
naked ones swallowed.
The Secret Tantric Path of
Love to Happiness and
Fulfillment in a Couple Relationship.
The secret tantric path of love
to happiness and fulfillment
in a couple relationship.
Gregorian Bivolaru wrote it.
The Pink Book is such a kind
of Bible of yoga movements,
we have heard.
Christiane will be able to
see it later.
Now, read will tell
your story.
Finally And from the beginning.
It was very anonymous at the university.
It was such an atmosphere
of better knowledge and of competition
and performance pressure.
Liz tells her that she has
moved to another city after
Abi.
Away from her family, away
from her friends.
But there is also something
totally united.
So there was not a community
at all living at the university
where I was.
After the wonderful
period of childhood, there
was more and more just a cold
and so a pressure and so a
competition.
And too little balance with
heartfeltness,
joy of life, community.
There was no cooler alternative.
And in a way, there was also
no one in my environment
who really cared
about me.
But then there was that
yoga school in the neighborhood.
Here, at a branch of the
German Academy of Traditional
Yoga, Liz met
people who welcomed her
with open arms, who
listened to
her, with whom she also
could talk about emotions.
When Liz Christiane tells her
about it, she gets really in
the shrimp.
She said that the heat was
finally there.
That she felt here she
could find real friends.
She thought she was
doing yoga for the first
time.
The traditional, the original.
It all seems very innocent and
very interesting.
It is very interesting and
then arouses the
desire to go deeper into it.
Liz tells us that she absolutely
wanted to be introduced to
these secrets, which have
been talked about by so many
at the yoga school from
the beginning.
She wanted to get the magic formulas
for how to become more
successful, more powerful,
more attractive, better.
I studied it properly,
I took it a thousand times seriously
and I stood behind
it 100% and was so
excited.
Two folders full of
teaching materials in English,
between them pictures of yoga
exercises, but
also of women with large
breasts or of couples
in different tantric
positions.
These leaves were stacked
around at her home, on
the desk, on the floor,
on the bed.
And the stuff is not dirty.
No, read it through,
side by side.
She has stuffed up and
she has exchanged
with practitioners from
the school.
weeks, months, three
years.
About that time Liz was in the
yoga school.
Oh, here I finally arrived.
It is like a door to
a home that will last
a long time.
He does not leave, so the home.
This new home will
be lit.
Abduct in a world full of wonders,
angels and mysteries.
She will do yoga and tantra
rituals there.
It will divide people into
divine and demonic.
She will believe in angels and
will be crucified for her Guru.
But she feels like
her new home is
done.
It lands hard on the
ground of reality.
Here is reality.
This is a soul captain.
Season 4 – Toxic Tantra.
A podcast by Christiane Havranek
and me Katja Peisem-Petersen.
Episode 3 Shakti State.
Liz is sitting in front
of Christiane Kerzengerade.
This, she says, comes from yoga.
It still does it now, in
June 2023, up to 4 hours a day.
Because it has become an
anchor for me to do yoga.
It is also good for
my body to do yoga.
So it’s a way of moving
that’s unique.
And it’s a way to get
in touch with myself, which
I’ve never experienced
in other sports.
Yoga is pretty much
the only good thing left
of school, Liz says.
She now takes Christiane
into a time when she had
already sunk deep into
the mind world of this
school.
After a few months at the
German Academy of Traditional
Yoga.
Her alarm clock always
rings early every morning.
So I tried for a while
at 3 a.m.
It has a name, which
I do not know.
Between three and four, the
Dalai Lama does the same and
so on.
The Dalai Lama is also embedded
in the teaching of the school.
It consists of elements
of Buddhism, Hinduism,
Taoism, Catholicism,
all across.
So, for a while, Liz got
up at three o’clock every day.
It is such a certain time
when consciousness is,
as it is, the highest
on earth.
And where everything is so
quiet, which is perfect for
meditation.
Liz tells how she then
always sat on the floor,
in the yoga seat.
Now here in the park she
moved back into that time.
She closes her eyes, breathes, and
breathes out.
Just like then.
The day is always dedicated
first.
One has always done
a prayer meditation that
one has focused on his heart
21 times and said, Dear God,
please have mercy,
mine and bless me.
That you get blessings for
the day, for
all the evil negative energies
around you, that
you get divine protection.
Then you say three times on such
a prayer with the Archangel,
preferably Holy Archangel Michael.
Thank you for always being
on my right.
Christiane sees Liz sitting
and praying.
You will then realize how much
this prayer must
have passed into the blood.
And how much their thoughts
were in this teaching.
It was the first thing she
thought of when she woke up.
So it’s always about protection,
protection, protection, protection
from the evil world, which
is full of demons and negative
energies that all have looked
at you and are affecting
you all day through
over other people and
everything else.
Liz says that her time at
yoga school was determined
relatively quickly by fear.
I have repeatedly been told that
there are demons in people
and in human works,
in movies, in music, in the
fashion world.
The world. On the Internet, on a site
belonging to the Romanian yoga school
Misa, we find an essay
on the subject describing how
poorly determined television
series are for children because
they promote, quote, violence,
stupidity and
homosexuality.
The Simpsons,
SpongeBob or Family
Guy.
It also says Lady Gaga
has made a
pact with the devil.
And that fashion magazines like
Elle or the Vogue
with When someone doubts or
wraps or expresses dismay,
that’s all so sharply flat.
So it is completely down-talked,
invalidated, it is immediately
considered a weakness.
Here it is being re-written,
do it, do it, that is just
your ego, that is only your mind
that resists the
process of transformation.
This will be worth it, this
is your test now, this is
your divine test.
The Divine Test, the Spiritual
Test.
These are terms we already
know from research.
Liz tells me that at some point in
her life she has spent almost
all of her life on such tests.
The yoga students were
stunned by each other.
You have for example. Fasting
to purify body and soul.
But the extreme.
If you are too thin,
it can be dangerous to
eat only grains.
At some point I found it
too dangerous for me, because
I became very, very
thin during this
yoga experience.
We also had three
days of water fasting.
And there is also much
more extreme that you
really don’t eat or drink
at all.
Liz describes how she felt
there as if she was in a game.
If you have held that through
with fasting, go down to the
next level.
A high level for illumination.
If she didn’
t, the mission failed.
She still has a bad
conscience when she eats
pizza.
We were like Kung Fu students
all the time, stirring
each other and challenging
each other so much.
So if you always get
up so early and go to
bed so late and
do these things overly
and then fast
and so on.
This is just for your psychic...
Then you just do that
some time and then
you just go away.
If you are out of that way,
you are manipulable again.
Liz felt that at some
point the yoga teachers could
even tell her what
to think and what not.
Curse is demonic.
So read it out of
their mind.
All of this has
an energy effect.
You have to try to keep the frequency
as positive as possible.
Think as positive and positive as possible.
Best all the time, 24 hours
a day.
Also overnight.
You are really taken physically
captive, mentally and mentally
conditioned and
captured.
What about sleeping actually?
Yes, sleep is rated
as negative, as darkness,
so I was always very tense
when sleeping and that
somehow when sleeping you are most
fragile to all
the negative energies
around you.
And that is why one should always
be more likely to be awake in such
a half-sleep and always in
such a hab-eight position.
Not only sleep is controlled,
but also sex
life.
So you can’t even
lie down and just
get to sleep, arm in
arm.
That was somehow, after sex
you should always do
at least two hours of yoga,
because otherwise something
very bad will happen.
So they say it is liberating
sexuality, but at the same
time it becomes completely
compulsive again,
because you feel so
dirty all the time.
I just had sex, and now
I must definitely do judge.
It is becoming more and more
stringent.
There will always be
such a box of right being and
right thinking and tuning
and everything else is not good.
This makes it mega unfree
and mega unreliable again.
Liz says she has been feeling
constant pressure for years.
No weaknesses, adhere to all
the requirements.
Play the perfect game.
I was already totally in
that mindset that all the
other people are sleeping
and there is also
the word sleeping sheep
used, so depreciating.
So I was in this one and
I, so that
and we.
You said the elite.
So we are the chosen, the chosen,
and you are the ones who are
full of satanic sleep, so
to speak, and always look
down somehow from
above and oh, you poor
lost soul.
Read laughing at all of this.
She says it’s doing her well,
it brings her a little ease.
She tells how she sent
videos to a friend from
her old life before school
to open her eyes.
Conspiracy theories from the
Illuminati to Bill Gates
want to chipp us all.
And she also passes on to her
friend what Gregorion Bivoularou
preaches.
For example, that
homosexuality is a sin,
a mistake,
a disease that can
be cured.
She was totally shocked
and told me she was
homophobic.
This confused me completely
because I could not see
it yet.
I was completely blinded by
all the yoga and ethics.
I did not know all the drum.
I had no eyes and was
like that, didn’t I? Are
you shy?
So he?
No to. Now, here on her red flowing
roof in the park,
Liz can’t imagine how she
ticked at the time.
And that was so right, what
the fuck?
So take this take on these
really evil world images in such
a way on myself where I
have never been before.
And then suddenly I realized
that I was like that
now.
That was very bad for me.
This is also called a
red flag.
This distinction from others.
Because, we have the divine
knowledge, all
others are blinded.
In Liz History there are
even more of these warning signs.
The rules that Liz has subjected
himself to, up to
the deprivation of sleep.
The alienation of old
friends, from family.
All of these are red flags.
So, if you ever encounter something
like this, be careful.
Christiane speaks to Liz
on another sectary feature.
Is it also about
vision?
So you should also...
and 100 percent. It was like a boat
camp, training camp for
missionaries.
Our angelic fight against evil
and our bootcamp training
for the evil world.
Even though Liz is now out
of school, the nightmare
for her is not over.
Even now, in June 2023, the
rules are still in effect.
It was like
a coat I had
to wear.
And since I just pool myself
out, so to speak, gradually
and allow me more and more
to just lie down, stay asleep
longer, eat when I
want, think what I want.
So now I am liberating my thinking,
because I have also strongly
censored my thinking.
Two hours later,
Christiane told her story.
Christiane wants
to give her time
to sneak.
How are you right now?
Are you hungry or thirsty?
I am thirsty.
Yes is.
I would have a big
band if you like it.
It is not yet opened.
You can like to have them.
I have two croissants.
Read has big eyes.
She eats her croissant, drinks the
bionade very delightfully.
For Liz, it is a luxury
that she cannot afford.
A few minutes later, a bottle
collector passes by.
He wants to take the bottle.
But Liz holds her and
says, no, I need it myself.
While in the yoga movement, she had
hardly any more time to work.
Now she is holding on
occasional jobs over water.
How are you now?
Oh, I’m a little scared
about myself because
I’m already very conditioned
about it.
I really accepted
a lot of it.
And I still live a lot of
it, I still believe a lot
of it and that makes me a
little scared.
Sometimes I’m scared of
myself and I have to
reprogram myself somehow
now and that’s it.
Reprogramming is a good word.
Because in the German Academy
of Traditional Yoga, Liz
says, it’s also about
programming women.
They want to become perfect
women.
And here we are now with the
pink book, which Liz put on
the ceiling at the very beginning.
The secret tantric path of love
to happiness and fulfillment
in a couple relationship.
by Gregoriam Bivolaru.
Read Walt Christiane now
in this holy book.
Look, you can see such
beautiful photos.
Christiane sees black and
white photos of naked
people.
Couples who have tantrasex with
each other in artistically
representative positions.
A woman who is on the
floor, between her pants
is a rose.
A curved blonde meditates in
the yoga seat in
the sea burn, naked.
And again and again photos of
women with very large breasts.
The ideal image, large breasts.
You can do certain
magical, occult yoga positions
to make
your breasts really
big.
Liz tells us that she was
in certain groups, only for women in
which exactly such exercises
were done to make the breasts
larger, suppress the period,
and to be generally
sexy.
Liz says they’d
learned to be the
perfect lovers.
Awakening the feminine Deity within
you, which is really so connected
to everything, that is
omnipotent, that
is super white, and that
all men can somehow inject
in any way, either sexually
or simply in terms
of life wisdom.
This high expectation
is placed on the woman.
Shakti state is always called
that it is used to be
so to speak a very specific,
magical, sensual,
sexually attractive, juicy.
The word juice is also used
very often.
Juicy
In these groups, sex training
takes place, so read
it feels.
Why the whole?
For whom are women made
sex figures?
For yourself, for your
tantric partner, or for
someone else?
Read crawls out several photos and
puts them on the ceiling.
And there he is again,
Gregorian Bivolaru.
In one photo, he looks straight
into the camera.
On the other, he embraces someone,
closes his eyes and smiles.
I have taken pictures of the Guru.
They should always sit
down and meditate on the Guru.
There were reports that
they had been distancing
themselves from that
guru whom you
showed me the photo.
When was it?
A few years ago, not
long ago.
No, so when I was there,
2018 to about 2022, the
Guru Gregorian Bivou Lado was
mentioned.
The students in the Asham wrote
letters to him and asked
him for advice and asked for
life advice and
always said, Grieg says, so
it is always so his loving
grandname, Grieg says,
Grieg says, Grieg says, always
Grieg, Grieg, Grieg, Grieg.
So it was all the time
around him.
Currently, Didati writes on its
website that some
teachers and students at them
have chosen Gregoriam
Bivoularo as their spiritual
teacher.
This is the free choice
of each individual.
Are Women Training
for Bivoularo on Sexy?
Will he let his perfect lovers
be carved into these
groups as he wants
them to be, with large
breasts and other very
special qualities?
We talked to
20 outbound women and
many have this assumption.
Some of them were even with the
so-called Guru, with the Grieg.
And they know the groups
of whom we have been told.
But they also say that there is
not only Grieg.
Some go a step further
and suspect that there is
a whole business behind it.
A sex business.
People who want to remain anonymous
tell us how women from
school masturbated live and naked
in front of the camera,
on sex sites, on the internet.
One of the interlocutors
said she did it herself.
Others tell us about
strip clubs in Japan,
Austria and Bucharest.
Strip clubs where women
from school were supposed
to dance on the bar only
in slides.
One interlocutor says she
even did it herself,
at a club called Lucky Love
in Bucharest.
Almost all the
outbounders we talked
to know.
Some just listen,
others were in.
You cannot prove it.
No wonder, they were not allowed
to take pictures in the strip club.
And there are no salary
bills, because the women
say they did it
all voluntarily or
for a small obolus.
How can we confirm or at least
strengthen this suspicion
without evidence?
There is actually only
one possibility.
We have to look at it on
the spot.
We have to go to this
strip club to Romania, to
the country where the first
school of the international
yoga movement is Atman.
Where everything started.
So go on!
Bucharest, dear guests,
please stay on for as long as the
institute designers
are turned off.
If you want to set your clock
to local time, it is now 10
before 1 am in the morning.
Bucharest welcomes us at night.
With bulky light advertisements
from casinos and nightclubs
and a taxi ride without
fasteners on the rear seats.
It’s the beginning of
a business trip so scurry, adventurous
and also a bit scary that
Christiane and I will probably
talk about it in years
to come.
The next morning we will
sit in a park.
And there is someone else.
I read this in the
travel guides, because Bucharest
is the Paris of the
East, right?
In the middle of the war, it was
really the Paris of the East.
Everyone was
speaking French.
This is Anka.
She just picked us up from the
hotel and she is part of our
team here in Romania.
It will translate here
for us and it will still
be a real happiness for us on
this journey.
Anka is bad ass.
So we need you to
translate, because we
are on our way to our
test hour.
Today, a introductory lecture
on the courses will be held at Misa.
Another test for us.
But we want to go there because
we want to know how
our yoga movement ticks here
in their homeland.
The courses are different here
than in Germany.
We do the undercover.
Anka signed up and talked
to the teacher.
The course is in Romanian.
We do not speak Romanian.
Will we fly there?
I also wanted to discuss
with you what
we say, why you are there.
So I would say that it just
interests us and that we
can speak a little Romanian.
I don’t even know what it means
to say hello in Romanian.
well to.
We come in and say good.
My plan would be to
just be so dumb.
So go in without microphone,
hold on, pretend we understand
everything, hope we don’
t fly and that no
one will get angry with
us because of it.
What is our safe word?
Because it could
be a bit delicate
for us.
Keywords: undercover use, sex
work, Bivolaru on the
Interpol list.
Go hit it.
Our leaders used
a safe word.
It has become cold.
Yes, it has become cold.
So when we are in a situation
where one of us feels
uncomfortable, scared,
threatened, safe word,
then we break off.
So, I’m getting cold, our safe
word is Bona and it’s called
Hello.
well to.
Oh my God.
On the way to school, we
see a little bit of the city.
Besides a few cleaned houses,
we notice many plate buildings,
of which the cleaning
is broken.
Praying people, cuddling dogs
and...
Romania is the country with
the most cat owners.
Oh the crash.
There are a lot of cats.
Anka loves cats.
She even has food for her.
And she knows where most of their
sleeping places are.
She has lived in Bucharest
for a long time.
Misa, the Romanian yoga
movement, has known her since
the 1990s.
Students were mostly attending
Bivolarus lectures in huge
halls at the time, Anka says.
A minute, we are almost there.
30 years after the great hype, we
stand here, in front of the
yoga school in Bucharest.
We are surprised at first, because
this doesn’t look like yoga,
rather, in terms of corporate areas.
In the courtyard in front of the poisonous
green, bungalow-like building, there
are several white chariots.
It looks somehow
down and dirty.
Time to remove the microphone
and hide it. We go in.
Three hours later, as long as we
were in the yoga
school, we sat in the taxi
and turned the microphone on again.
We are already on the way to
the next date.
That is why we will discuss what
we have just experienced here
during the journey.
We are just out of yoga
class, I call it now.
In fact, it was not a
classical yoga class, but a lecture
in which Misa, so the
movement here is called,
presented itself.
The 40 clap-clap wooden chairs
stood in line, but almost
all were empty.
We were closed, total
of nine.
The woman who was speaking
at the meeting looked
at us all the time.
And we, we had to pretend
we understood everything.
for three hours.
It was completely in Romanian.
Yes, but you have understood
a lot, so that’s the crucial
thing.
I once understood that
because we are not a sect.
You can also decide
whether you are
vegetarian or meat.
That doesn’t matter to you,
Libertas, there’s freedom
here, can it be?
Did I understand it correctly?
Freedom of Yes.
And she said that in the media,
there was always bad news
about her, about Misa,
and so on.
And that they were called
a sect, which is not true, that
they are a sect, so everyone
has the total freedom to believe
in what they want.
Freedom of opinion,
freedom of choice and so on.
Then she packed out the equipment.
The equipment, exactly
At one point, the yoga
teacher goes to a small wooden
table on the wall.
There is a black cloth.
That is what the teacher is now
ventilating and revealing two
small black devices
with a metal toothbrush
in the upper circle.
Below are two rows of numbers from 1 to 24
with lighting points in red, yellow
and green.
Anker whispered to Christiane.
These are measuring devices.
With the measurement of the
aura there was a surprise
and a gift for us.
Aura measuring equipment. Only for us.
Special secret information.
Later we learn that the things are
called Agile Wheels and are
not inventions of Mieser,
but are used in the esoteric
scene since 1990.
So I then spit on
you, so I would try
it if you don’t have
to talk.
Just have to hold your hands
next to this device and
it measures the aura with
numbers from 1 to 24.
So Christiane and Anke sit
at this table, hold their
hands to the devices and
let themselves measure the aura.
1 is the lowest value, 24 is the
highest.
Now appreciate what I had.
Three.
and zero.
I don’t have enough energy because
I wasn’t relaxed enough.
Yes, the woman said.
My wife said I wasn’t
relaxed enough.
German journalist unit
driven by demonic forces.
I had a good aura. Five is it?
I was almost five, yes.
Congratulations to you.
Thank you very well.
We laughed in
the taxi.
We find it all too
scurril.
At some point, the
yoga teacher turns on the TV
and plays a video that
looks like a private
home video.
In yellow letter, at the bottom right,
the date of recording, 2007.
And suddenly on television
was Gregoriam Bivolaru.
Yes yes.
No one named him, but Anka,
Christiane and I, we know
him right away.
On the video in school, there
is Gregoriam Bivoularo.
Like he walks around a table.
This is a super-dimensional compass.
You have said that yoga
can develop
such powerful magnetic
waves that you can even move
the needle of a compass.
Bivoularo does exactly that.
He does not touch the compass,
he only flies around
with his hands, and
moves the needle
like by magic.
There was a comment from the room.
Someone from behind said that the
yogis are very well known.
And she said, even more
than known, he is famous.
Famous and notorious.
Vivolaru still plays
a central role in school.
So was this the yoga lecture
or should we rather say the
magic show?
We will continue with the
taxi to our next appointment.
The man we’ll meet
right now is not a magician,
but a lawyer.
He worked for Gregorian
Vivolaru.
Otherwise, we only know about him.
He was once a Misa supporter,
but he has gone out and now
warns on his blog before
school.
We want to talk to him because
we think he could have been
very deeply involved in the
Misa system as a bipolar lawyer
and we hope to get
information from him.
We made this especially
for talking to him.
We want to know what’s next
with the allegations of sex
work in the yoga movement.
Here is he. Katya and Hello.
Hi, Christiane Havrendig
Sorry for the delay. No problem though.
No problem at all.
Okay, so what is the plan?
What do you want to do?
Should we take a seat?
Yes of course.
Nihai Rabcha is 50 years old.
He wears a gloss and a red
polo shirt that stretches
a little over his belly.
He smiles a lot, looks gentle
and sympathetic.
His appearance does not match
the way he
is described on the net.
On a Misa website, he is also
referred to as the
Devil’s Advocate.
The yoga movement and he,
they did not
go together in good.
We must keep this in mind.
Everyone has an agenda.
And what Mihai Rabca will
tell us soon is his version
of the story.
And that started with him in
the 90s, as a young student
and Misa supporter in Bucharest.
of his group.
He was a very, very
normal man, you know?
He was...
Even now he
has this appearance of
a man, a very
discreet man, wearing the
same clothes, not something
fancy or expensive.
Rabtcha was a student under Bivou
Laro and he tells
us how he experienced
this unseen man, armedly
dressed, restrained, becoming
a kind of guru.
He says Bivolaru was considered
a yoga authority by
his great knowledge.
And there was something else in
him, Rabja says, something supernatural.
He calls us an example.
Bivolaru was told that
she should not leave the
house for five days, because
otherwise she could
have a disaster.
The woman stayed at home for only
four days.
She was then hit by a
car, Rabca told.
His followers have trusted him
unconditionally since then,
even rapers think so today,
but he has broken
up with him.
Sex, money and power.
Rabja says that at some point
in his life, he thought it
was just about turning
his peaceful hippie yoga
movement into a business and that
it was the beginning of the end.
It was a moment in 2000,
when in Romania was beginning
a lot of online activities
with the video chat, you know.
Rabce says it all started
in early 2000. There were
sex video chats in Romania.
So users pay money for
watching women dress
out in front of the
camera or satisfy
themselves.
Rapture says that even bad
people have taken attention
to these video chats.
Why not start this yourself?
Big business on the Internet, with
the women from the yoga school.
Rapture knows this for a
certain reason.
He built it all,
he says.
Everyone looking for girls, nice
girls, to put online, you know.
Rabtcha was a lawyer in his
first year, long time with Misa.
And that’s why she came to him with
her business idea, he tells me.
They needed his help in the
company’s founding.
And he helped.
But once, he tells us, Bivoularo
had to be asked for permission.
Somebody told him, you know,
we can use women from the
Ashams to do this.
Whether they could get
women out of the aschrams
for the video chats.
Did Grieg say?
Yes, do that. Women bring
money, fault to their
own femininity.
And that is crucial...
They don’t have normal sex,
they don’t have sacred sex.
And now, with the video chats,
you can pass this on to
all the ignorants.
It is missionary.
And so it will be
sold to women, Rabja says, then
as an offer, a gift, completely
voluntary, with sex chats to
become the sex goddess
and spread the good message
in the world.
It all goes under Karma Yoga.
Good deeds to ascend spiritually.
Volunteering for karma is
nothing unusual in the
yoga scene.
Rabja says he has worked
on construction sites,
made delivery services for the
school, translated yoga books.
Read, who we met in
the park in Germany, says
she cleaned the yoga school
without pay.
Nathalie says she has translated
videos for the yoga school
in Bucharest.
Well, and some women at Atman
who had just made sex video
chats for Karma.
And later, Rabja says,
they would have also been
stripping or doing Tantra massages.
We ask Rabia if he has anything
written for us about it.
Documents and evidence.
But he must disappoint us.
He said he gave them
everything back.
He didn’t want to have anything
to do with them anymore.
But his description coincides
with what the
outgoing women told us anonymously.
That it started with video chats
and it later went to strip.
So he talks about it, at Bivoularo
most personally, he says.
He writes a letter to him
and asks him what to change.
Because of the other, you
know, you can’t use people.
And he never answered it.
Bucharest, where Atman
women are allegedly
sent to strip.
Rabcah still remembers the
club’s beginnings.
They wanted to build a strip
club with a spiritual touch.
But that’s
long ago, says Rapsha.
And that he had
not been there for
years.
At least we read that on
the internet.
The website
is still active. We show him.
We look at photos of half-
naked women on the bar,
let’s look at what the
club offers like that.
Tantra massage and striptease.
We also have
research papers for the Stript
Club.
Rabia is named after
a woman.
I remember the name.
I know you.
and Nodok.
Nodok means luck in Romania.
She is of my generation.
Rabia knows the woman of the
former, of Misa.
She leads that, yes.
Okay is.
Lucky Love is still active
and there seems to
be some connection to Misa.
And now let’s see if there are
women from the yoga
school dancing on the bar.
So we sit a few hours later on
the bar, outdoors outside
of any pub in the city
center of Bucharest.
We’re getting relaxed for
Lucky Love, the strip
club we’re going to break
up with.
How late is it now? Half of twelve?
Well, it is half twelve.
We are good in time.
Are you excited, Christian?
Let us just look at
that now.
We just go there.
And then we just
have to let it go to us if
we really get to talk
to them.
Because I could imagine the striptease
dancers, that is
probably such a separate
people.
I don’t think you get to
it that way.
Unless you get
money in.
I think it is hard to
get into a conversation.
We need to talk to
the striptease.
We want to know if they really
come from the yoga schools that
belong to Erdmann.
We have cash, we have cash.
Then, at 1 p.m., we
go out.
The Lucky Love.
The Strip Club is located away
from the big party miles.
The longer we walk, the quieter,
empty and darker the streets
become.
On a beige-colored building, there
is a pink inscription above
the door, Lucky Love.
The O of Love, a Heart.
The Gentleman's Night Club.
We are three women.
To get in, we have
to ring.
Christiane and I look at each other.
We are hesitant.
We are just beginning to
discuss whether we should
really ring there or not.
But then Anka comes and
just presses on the
bells as if it would be totally
normal for three women to
go to a strip club for
gentlemen at night.

podcast for you.
The ghost hunter. Hans Bender

professor of parapsychology.
He has been studying spy
phenomena, light vision and telekinesis

The podcast is about Polter ghosts and waiting
rooms, but also about the secret
psychiatric research of the US
Army and the occult of the Nazis.
And most of all, it’s always
the question, is there
really something out there?
