Not only did we try to do this \u2013 but we also succeeded.\u201d That was Riehl Andre\u2019s conclusion, the French guest at the 1st Congress of the European Yoga Federation, in the end of the second day of this manifestation. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Yesterday, the Conference room of the Students\u2019 Hall was full. More than 1,500 people attended the lectures on the schedule of the yoga federation Congress, as well as the artistic performance at the end of the day. The lectures of Swami Suryananda, the president of the European Yoga Federation, were highly successful. He charmed everyone in the room with his words. Swami Dileepji, an Indian now living in the USA, the representative of the International Yoga Federation at the United Nations, also had a similar effect with his conference.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" hspace=\"10\" src=\"http:\/\/ftphost.infinology.net\/files\/\/img\/yogaes\/articles\/congres\/pozeadouazi\/head_resize.jpg\" align=\"middle\" vspace=\"10\" \/> <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Unlike Suryananda \u2013 her father, Indian dancer Surya, who presented an Indian dance seminar, made everyone in the room dance with her. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" hspace=\"10\" src=\"http:\/\/ftphost.infinology.net\/files\/\/img\/yogaes\/articles\/congres\/pozeadouazi\/surya_class_resize.jpg\" align=\"middle\" vspace=\"10\" \/> <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">However the performance at the end of the day was the cherry on top of the sundae. Surya, a young 19 year old Italian, who has been dancing for 15 years, made everyone in the room travel around India, with her dances. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" hspace=\"5\" src=\"http:\/\/ftphost.infinology.net\/files\/\/img\/yogaes\/articles\/congres\/pozeadouazi\/cancan_resize.jpg\" align=\"baseline\" vspace=\"5\" \/> <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Next, the Sophrozin Theatre presented the story of two twin souls searching for each other along life and various civilizations, all these within a performance called \u201eDivine Game of Life\u201d. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" hspace=\"10\" src=\"http:\/\/ftphost.infinology.net\/files\/\/img\/yogaes\/articles\/congres\/pozeadouazi\/couple_resize.jpg\" align=\"middle\" vspace=\"10\" \/> <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">What surprised us most however was the guests\u2019 reaction at the end of this performance. Each on his turn, they stood up and shared their feelings. \u201eI am so happy that my happiness goes beyond the walls of this room,\u201d Suryananda was the first to say. \u201eBeing here was the best thing for everyone. Although we came in order to support our brothers in times of sorrow, we are the ones to leave this place, much happier. I embrace you all and let you know we shall return soon,\u201d the president of the European Yoga Federation said, with a lot of excitement. \u201ePractice yoga and dance\u201d. That was Dileepji Kumar\u2019s message for the Romanians. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" hspace=\"10\" src=\"http:\/\/ftphost.infinology.net\/files\/\/img\/yogaes\/articles\/congres\/pozeadouazi\/applaudissements_resize.jpg\" align=\"middle\" vspace=\"10\" \/> <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Yogahiraj Habib, a Tunisian now living in Spain \u2013 merry and playful like a child \u2013 started to imitate the belly-dancers and then spoke about the spirituality of this dance. One by one, almost all guests expressed their impressions. \u201eWhat I understood\u00a0 tonight is the importance of unity\u201d, Surya confessed, overwhelmed with the moment\u2019s energy. The evening ended with a meditation of communion with the spiritual mentor of the MISA Yoga School, Gregorian Bivolaru.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">November 13, 2005<br \/>yogaesoteric.net<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anca Munteanu \u201eMany yogis on this planet have tried to unify the world.
