Agung Sangha
Agung Sangha is a yoga and martial arts master. Originally from Bulgaria, he has dedicated his life to the exploration of the self-realization techniques described by multiple spiritual teachings. He has dedicated to sound, energy and yoga therapy, and also teaching experience for 30 years.
He was first introduced to yoga at the age of 8, when Swami Dev Murti visited his Bulgarian hometown.
His yoga journey continued with daily sadhana and austerities. His dream was to leave socialist Bulgaria, so that he could practice yoga and his spiritual beliefs openly. Karma gave him the opportunity to immigrate to Switzerland in 1984. There, he began studying with Master Selvarajan Yesudian.
In 1986 Agung Sangha opened a kung-fu and yoga school in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. Later, he founded the Anima Mundi Creative Unfoldment Global Arts Laboratory in Zurich. It was there that he cultivated the foundation of what would later become the Qi-Yo Multi-Yoga System. On New Year’s Eve 1990 Agung Sangha visited the grave of Nicholas Roerich in Nagar village, Kullu Valley, India. There, during meditation, he received a message that he should form a spiritual and creative foundation in Eastern Europe.
All Who Seek Via All Paths was established in Bulgaria some months later, and flourished as the first spiritual center in Eastern Europe espousing synthesis. It gathered spiritual seekers and healing artists from across the globe, presenting workshops and performances, hosting lectures on esoteric disciplines. The writings of his other guru, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, inspired Agung Sangha to use synthesis as a guiding principle for the center in Bulgaria.
In April 1991, All Who Seek Via All Paths organized an international esoteric meeting in the Palace of Culture in Sofia, which permanently transformed the spiritual movements of Eastern Europe. At the end of 1991 Agung Sangha received a personal initiation from Master Sri Chinmoy in Malta, and was assigned the mission of bringing the Sri Chinmoy movement to Bulgaria, which he did the following year. In 1994 Agung Sangha also brought Alice Bailey’s Lucis Trust to Bulgaria. In 1995 he conducted spiritual research in India, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, New Zealand, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. In 1996 his research culminated with an initiation on the island of Bali, where he received his spiritual name of Agung (holy mountain of fire) with title “Swami” and received a blessing to found the system later to be named Qi-Yo.
In 2003 Agung Sangha came to the US, where Qi-Yo entered a period of incubation. Master Agung tested and perfected the Qi-Yo method through daily work with students. The Qi-Yo Multiversal Yoga System finally debuted in New York City in 2012, at the start of a new whorl of our planet’s evolution.
Till now, Agung has conducted thousands of workshops, retreats, Yoga and Singing Bowl trainings including countries, USA, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, New Zealand, Germany, Holland, France, Italy, Spain, Croatia, Bulgaria, Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, India, Malaysia, Japan, China and Hong Kong etc.
