Bhoga Case Comes To An End
Open Letter To Everybody Involved In The Bhoga Case
10 years after the acquisition of Ådyssegård which became Bhoga Ashram and the camp facility for Natha Yoga Center – we have decided that Natha will no longer continue the fight for Nathas rightful ownership of the farm. Therefore we will withdraw the appeal and also the tenants will terminate their renting agreement with Kim Schmock and move out by the 1st of February 2011.
In short Natha bought the farm in October 2000. Kim offered his help by signing the property deeds and many of the students of Natha came to do voluntary work in order to build Bhoga into what it has become today. We trusted each other and each others word. Even though it was Kim Schmocks signature on the deed, we also trusted that 2 written agreements signed by Kim Schmock would be suffcient to ensure the integration of the project.
However after 5 years passed Kim wanted to move out and gradually he also became twisted claiming the whole farm as being his – since he had his signature on the contract.
The case was so obvious for Natha, that we filed a case against him in court which we expected to win since we had a clear agreement and since Natha had paid all the running expenses of the place and was even building there for 5 years. A total of 2.8 millions which Natha has invested in the place.
After careful consideration we have decided that it is meaningless to continue fighting for Bhoga, a decision which also includes the advices of Grieg (Gregorian Bivolaru). The case was so clear that if we had had a fair trial we would have won it. Since we did not receive a fair trial to begin with, it would be highly improbable that we would get a fair trial by appealing it, not withstanding the economic risk of continuing to run the trial is great and also it would take energy and ressources from other valuable projects in Natha to run harmoniously.
With the trial we stood up for Bhoga and the principal of truth and justice showing that it is unacceptable for one man to steal the results of the work of many people and we feel we have made our point. We fought with all the correct principles and methods and since the other side was not doing the same we are free to give them the full responsibility for taking what is not theirs and was obtained with fraudulent methods. Kim Schmock has clearly stated that he is willing to take the karma of his actions on his shoulders.
With the odds against us it would be wiser for us to concentrate our efforts on finding and building up a new place, this time securing the papers in time and making better sure we never again attract a situation in which a person is tempted beyond his means in the same way Kim Schmock was.
To all of you – members of Natha, former members of Natha, friends of Natha and family members to members of Natha, all of you who have sacrificed your time, energy and resources believing that you were working for a spiritual cause for the well being of many and not for one persons personal profit – we deeply apologize for our naivety!
You thought you were doing voluntary work for Natha and instead it became the profit of Kim Schmock which is regrettable for all of us.
We have all learned a lot about human nature and how personal interests can conflict with the general interest and by exposing all these facts in the public domain through the Bhoga case, we hope that in the future we will learn to do it better.
We look forward to finding a new and much better place for Bhoga ashram to fulfil our vision for a spiritual community and retreat center for the common benefit of all.
On behalf of the board of Natha and the members of Natha Yogacenter

happy new year, pervert 🙂 we will continue to follow you until you leave – ok?
@ policeman
i will also follow you and you will be surprised 😉
Your “threats” are pathetic and it is only because of today’s celebration i give you the chance to be visible (for just a little). I suggest you get a life and begin to realize that there are many other things to do then to write psychopathic messages to people you don’t even know.
Happy New Year if you can enjoy your own life.
@ so called policeman,
You are a stalker, a liar, a psychopath, a weirdo, a coward the list goes on… Why do you not reveal who you really are and list all the wrong doings Mihai has done so terrible to you, You don’t because you CANNOT!, because you jumped on the bandwagon with all the other losers who have a crape life and don’t have any one else to blame it on. You have no idea who he is and you obviously do not care, maybe you are an emotionally crippled being who has perverse fun in harassing the others. From how i know Mihai he will have a deep compassion for you, as i am not at his level i find your comments cretinous and revealing that you are a disturbed being who needs some medical intervention.
I wish for you to know why you hate someone you do not even know, and in this process you will find something unimaginable…
and i wish you a New year filled with Love not hatred 🙂
I am sorry if i antagonised this guy even more, he wrote so ugly about you and it is really touched something inside me – probably it is a spiritual lesson for everyone (not just you and him), and if i feel something strange inside is because of me and the things i haven’t fixed. I know i should have compassion for someone who obviously dwells in inferior worlds, but my first instinct was anger when i read what he wrote, i am guessing he also has other pseudonyms here and writing other venomous comments. I am sure in your position that you will be attacked by the dark forces in many different guises, but how can we help people like him, or should we just ignore them and try to focus on what we need to learn?
@ Police man,
Where is the love? Go inside your heart and find the love, and offer it to someone you care about, your kids at least., please do this, do it now and you will start to rid yourself of the futile suffering and anger you have inside.

@mihai
By admiting posts like policeman’s you seem at first sight a little bit masochist to me, but later was remembering one of your main tantra teaching: ENJOY anything and anytime…
So, Happy New Year beloved tantra yoga teacher!
@policeman
A message from Romanian yogies:
Please continue to follow Mihai but ask him kindly to go home 🙂 not some others places where they ask for him continously. We are looking forward to receive Mihai as a gift from God. We miss him so much!
We’ll give you some blessings even if you don’t succed! 🙂
@ Bogdan
A message from danish yogis: NO WAY! We dont want Mihai to leave Denmark!
Mihai initiates and continously sustains the most wonderful transformation in all the people in the yoga school. It is so amazing to see the beauti, love and harmony that continously grows and manifests more and more within each and every person (who actually participates and practises) in the school.
To see how each person gradually but surely is transforming to fulfill their deep inner potentials reaching hights of divine transfiguring states.
This would never be possible without Mihais constant support and care, without his visions and amazingly wonderful perspective upon things, without his patience and very BIG heart, who contains us all.
So dear romanian yogis – we do not willingly give up the presence of Mihai in the yoga school of Denmark, – please hope for someone else to come to you :*
love from
the danish yogis
@ Amrita dear
Once upon a time, ago, I was feeling the same when Mihai was teaching us in Romania.
But, after a while, he left because we didn’t deserve him, or not enough – I mean not as much as God expected – since Mihai left…to Danmark :). Masmerized by his presence we’ve forgot an essential thing: personal effort.
So, pay attention. Learning is better from others’ experience. Do whatever is necessary and much more. Make supereffort for a continous transformation. That’s the only method in order to deserve him and to be sure that God’s not sending him to another place where the aspirant are ready
PS The wheel is continously turning and we, the romanians are praying to God for Mihai’s turning back. We were (and still) engaged in deep and continous transformation in order to deserve his presence!
Dear Mihai!
I’m sorry t hear that Bhoga is lost. It was such a special place and I have very nice Bhoga colored memories…
I’m sure the energy that was put into it will benefit this planet one way or the other.
Success with finding a new place!
Warm greatings from Oz . (If you ever have enough from Europe, you are welcome here also 😉
Jorrit.
Let’s just be good to one another and hope we’ll understand what we ALL have to change within…
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all, no matter the side you take, and may this year make us all wiser….
I was reading the comments on some articles regarding the Bhoga case
I feel sadeness
I wonder how many people were really involved in this case.
Coming from Romania 2-3 times for the spiritual camps organized in Bhoga before I met so many Danish coleagues enjoying those activities and discovering something valuable that they haven’t had before. Why don’t we see now a feedback from them here, in this space created by their teacher for sharing impressions, ideas and feelings that keep friends united in times of joy but also of dificculties?
I’m not to judge anyone, it’s just an observation based on what I read here.. I ‘m thinking that maybe the efforts of the few that were really involved wiht their heart in that case were not enough, from the divine perspective, for all the people of the Danish yoga school to merit to have Bhoga anymore because they simply neglected it.
I remember something Mihai said in the last summer camp about Kali taking away from us, as an instrument of the divine will, only what is not impregnated by our consciousness, by spirit. In this situation consciousness would have been the interest, the love, the help and the united efforts of MOST (if not all) the yogis, but these were missing.
I will not be surprised if in the near future even their teacher Mihai will be taken from them and given to another “class” of yogis who deserve him better. Besides the joke would be something to meditate about, and in all aspects of our life.
I’m with you Mihai, Hans and all the others that put your heart in this case. May God bless you!
