I bow to the lotus feet of our great teachers, who uncovers our true self and awakens happiness

Like a Shaman in the Jungle he brings total complete well-beeing.

He can even heal the most awful poision of conditioning and illusion.

The upper body of human shape, carrying a mussel horn (original tone), a discus (infinity) and a sword (power of differentiation) having 1000 bright heads, I bow to Patanjali.
