We would like to share with you few stories which show the ways of new leadership in Russia. We are not sure should we laugh or cry on such stories – they are both funny and sad.

1. In one city in Siberia one yogi had problems with council – he didn’t like how they behave, how they throw people out of Sahaja Yoga. So he just left the collectivity, he stopped going to programs – it is a very common solution in Russia. After some time the council officially took him out of Sahaja Yoga collectivity for participating in internet discussion group were sahaja yogis with the same point of view gathered together.
   
   After some time he contacted his collectivity, they said that maybe he can come back now. But they had a condition of his return. We have an entrance fee for the programs (around 2 euros). So they told him that he will be welcomed back if he pays entrance fee for all the programs he missed for 3 years!
   
2. Another story happened in a city not far from Moscow. There was one yogini, a member of a local council. After some time she stopped feeling comfortable there and said that she doesn’t like how things were organized there. She also stopped coming to programs for some time. After a year she decided to come back but she was not allowed to come inside. They told that they do not know what she was doing for this year and maybe she should start with coming to the programs for newcomers.
   
   She humbly agreed and asked if she can come to the newcomers program next Saturday. Surprisingly, she found that she is not welcomed there either because “The course for new beginners already started and she must wait 1-2 months before the next course will start, because no one will start the course from the beginning just for her”.

Maybe it looks for you like local “extremes”, but we know this style very good in Russia and we are sure that it has the source in the city of Togliatti, the city of our national council.
