Rudi was a spiritual master, born and raised in New York.
As a young man his need to grow spiritually had taken him to India in search of a teacher.
In India Rudi had discovered that the teachings given in the East do not work for the Western psyche. He then, with the help of God, devised a simple breathing exercise that helps open the spiritual muscles within us and connect to a higher creative force.
This meditation is not about mantras and external manifestations. Wearing long robes and beads are not an inherent part of the inner search. In the final analysis spiritual growth depends on a human being’s need and their sincere effort to evolve.
It does not matter where you come from, nor is your present situation in life relevant. It is within us to change the structure of the cosmos. Our need can alter our predestination and turn our life into a wonderful and joyous journey. One full of wonder.
Rudi practiced what he preached. Coming back from India, he opened a small antique store that became a center to many spiritual seekers. He never charged money for his teachings, saying that it was not his work but God’s work. ‘How can I charge money for something that’s not mine?’ he used to say.
Alik met Rudi over forty years ago, on the last leg of his journey on earth. He passed on a year later, on the 21st of February, 1973. In the year they had spent together, Rudi had initiated Alik as a teacher in his meditation.
