OM

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.
