Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Namaste, Jai Shambo. Thank you for your guidance and service. Could you help me to find a swami or guru for the Raja Yoga, because in my country is very difficult to find a real guru (France)... It's possible to receive the guru's guidance by distance ?
