Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 A new member in the worldwide Gitananda Yoga Family Three o'clock in the afternoon of the 23rd October eleven students of Ashtanga Rishiculture Yoga as taught by Yogamaharishi Dr. Swami Gitananda Giri Guru Maharaj and in Ananda Ashram came together to establish a new Gitananda Yoga Society " Gitananda Yoga Gesellschaft, Deutschland e.V. " in Berlin, Germany. The participating members were: Ute Alberty, Elina Badur, Leonhard Baumann, Leena Elo, Christiane Hanert, Markus Häussler, Birgit Christiane Kay, Eira Lötjönen, Arja Miettinen-Baumann, Uta Schulze and Simo Siren. At the beginning of this very special occasion a Puja was performed to honour Swamiji. Yogacharini Leena Elo greeted all the quests and emphasized the auspicious date we had chosen for the foundation meeting on the day of Vijaya Dasami. This is also the day of visiting the Guru and presenting Gurudakshina. After this the formal part started with presentation and discussion of the statutes of the society, which were worked out to suit to the demands of a charitable society. The first and foremost aim of the " Gitananda Yoga Gesellschaft, Deutschland e.V. " is to support and to spread out the knowledge and science of the Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga of the Paramparai of Yogamaharishi Dr. Swami Gitananda Giri Guru Maharaj. The participating members accepted the statutes by common consent. After this the executive committee was elected. The persons elected were: Arja Miettinen-Baumann as chairman, Leena Elo as representative and Uta Schulze as treasurer. The legal act of the formation of the society was finalised through signing the statutes by all participants. The society now has to be registered as such by the German authorities, which is expected to happen in the course of the next 4 to 8 weeks. We the members of the " Gitananda Yoga Gesellschaft, Deutschland e.V. " are very interested in forming relationships with all the international Gitananda Yoga Societies. Through inviting quest teachers from abroad we have the great opportunity of learning from another. Furthermore our intension is to bring the knowledge of the Yoga science and the ancient wisdom as taught by Dr. Swami Gitananda Giri and in Ananda Ashram to all those interested in Yoga and in questions dealing with the inner growth but who until now didn't have any access to Swamiji's teachings. May Guru be with us.
