BACK FROM ...RUSSIA !
Virato recently returned to America from a very exciting two month Tantra tour of St. Petersburg and Moscow, Russia where he spoke to thousands of people on TV and radio, and gave many lectures, conducted several Tantra events, and orchestrated numerous exciting Tantra parties. The trip was part of a TV special on ITN, Europe's largest television network. The TV production crew, Visual Voodoo Tel + 44- 020- 7430- 4466, Collin Rothbert, Producer, came all the way to St. Petersburg, Russia from London to shoot the program. 

HTB
Television (Russia's PBS) also did an interview with Virato, as did several radio stations in St. Petersburg. 

An independent TV production company in St. Petersburg is creating a special video for the Russia market. For info on this video send e-mail to riyaz@mail.ru

We also took some excellent candid videos of this last Russian Fantasy! 

See Russian Fantasy for details on Tantra is Russia and how you can be a part of it. The fantasy now includes couples as well as singles.


TRIP DETAILS
St. Petersburg, Russia -- Virato was here in the city made popular by our famous Czar, Peter the Great of Russia. He arrived on 3 October and satyed with us until  November 21. He returned to America from Moscow, November 27, 2000. (He's been coming to Russia since 1992.)  As usual many young ladies sought out Virato! He asks, "Please do not be jealous or envious of me. It is the power of the Tantric spiritual practice and way of life! Tantra is a life of joy not suppression...of love not envy!

Almost all of the time in Russia someone is filming him. He has never been to Russia where he has not been in the media limelight. His trips are both deeply spiritual providing Russians with a crisp, clean and pure view of reality, filled with  unconditional love and a fully enjoyable time. Virato is the one spiritual teacher we know of that can  indeed bring us to the Heaven or Nirvana we seek...in the here and now--by connecting spirit with the earth. 

Virato spent time with many new and old friends and lovers: Dhiraja, from St. Petersburg (an Osho sannyasin who spent the entire two months with him as his interpreter), Oxana,  a recent graduate of Moscow University, and now a psychologist. Victoria, a loving Tantrika, and Tanya, Julia,  Anupam, Marianna, and  of course his loving sannyasin from Moscow, Juliette (Ma Prem Agni). 

Hundreds of others, men and women, whose names we never did get also came to his many parties and lectures. But please don't get us wrong, Virato has as many, or more, male friends in Russia. Here are a few testimonials from former participants in his events world-wide.

With Russia's foremost Tantra teacher, Andre Lapain, Virato, this past year also  co-led the largest Tantra Event he has ever conducted anywhere, with over 240 people!

Virato also was a special guest and speaker at Moscow's exclusive Club Erotic, a couples only club. It costs $45/ male-female couple to get in AFTER you are approved.

All of Virato's friend's are approved! Drinks and beer are $3-5 and delicious appetizers of all sorts for about $5, and champagne for about $10 a bottle. He now includes this club in his Moscow Russian Fantasy.


In St. Petersburg, Virato has developed a personal and business relationship with Olga, the manager of Spartak, the best nightclub in the city. Spartak must be experienced. The youngest (17 up) and hottest people go here, and they love Virato! Beer (a pint) is 25 rubles (less than a buck), and the food is very tasty and reasonably priced. (sometimes there is a cover of 80 rubles to get in). 

Olga, about 30, is the director of the club (the food/drink is run by the mafia), and she is cool! Her cool husband, also young, took Virato and his guests to very "special" places on the "church property" for some "special" experiences. The place is big with hundreds of people every night. Virato did two special performances at Spartak one on Halloween (the first such party that anyone knows of in Russia, where they do not celebrate Halloween  as we do) .He was the hit of the evenings. The club plastered 4000 large posters all over St. Petersburg heralding his arrival  He performed live for over 2 hours, and the young girls were ecstatic. Two of them, Vera and Anna, have asked to become his sannyasins. They stayed with him the remainder of his time in St. Petersburg. 

Virato conducted a weekend event with 32 people at a secluded resort about 20 miles outside St .Petersburg. As usual, it was a powerful and transformative event. Much ecstasy. He has added a new, and very magical process ...called the "Tantric Journey into the Forest."

Many more parties and dinners...and ecstasy while in St. Petersburg. Mandir, a very cool guy, and another sannyasin of Osho, offered us hospitality, and a delectable Tantric party...

In Moscow we visited Moscow's hottest night clubs, Metaelitsa, and again through Virato's friend Marianna Markova (Sylvester Stallone's and Madonna's interpreter), we got to meet Leeka, Moscow's newest and hottest pop singer, as well as Miss Moscow. Marianna is now a part of the Moscow Russian Fantasy. Last trip we also met Russian royalty: Natasha, president of Russia's famed "Russian Club" through Marianna. Natasha's lineage goes back to Russia's Czars. These are the sort of people you can expect to meet. "These trips are really magic. I had no idea I was such a celebrity," says Virato, smiling. "I do not deny the ego, I say enjoy existence. To be Divine is divine... let us dance in the garden of the Divine"


We found time to visit St. Petersburg's famed Hermitage of Peter the Great, and the majestic Russian Museum. We also visited several Orthodox Christian churches, and an arboretum.

Virato learned to travel by himself, along with a few Americans (and one man who came all the way from Singapore) who joined him (as long as he had destination and/or clear instructions in writing). We used the metro, and "private" taxis (95% of all the taxis we used were simply cars drive where the driver made a few bucks). Cost is between 30 and 100 rubles which is about 75 cents to less than 2 dollars US (rate exchange when we was there was about 28 rubles to the dollar). Expect to pay more late at night (2-4 AM).

Virato (along with his Russian assistants) does his own shopping most of the time to select the very best supply of food for the day. We did go to several restaurants, however restaurants and night clubs can take you into the financial stratosphere. Some in St. Petersburg and Moscow charge as much as $75 cover just to get in the door! Dinner for two can easily run over a hundred dollars without expensive champagne. 

These are the tourist traps...and there are many of them. Where others pay $50 or more, Virato often gets in for free, as he did in Moscow's Metelitsa. It is all "who you know" in Russia, as it is all over. Virato is "in the know." After 9 years Virato knows Russia...mafia and all. He has learned the "tricks" so to speak.


Virato has traveled to ashrams in India, been to avant garde and spiritual places world-wide, as well as intimate clubs in Beverly Hills, Hollywood and New York.  He has spent time with Hollywood actresses, been in a group marriage, did hundreds of self-help and new age groups, been on exotic cruises. But he now says, "The Russian Fantasy compares to nothing I can explain in words. It is the very best experience. It is indeed magical!"

If you can accept the real joy of your total self, sensual as spiritual, and you have a joyful lust of life, then the Russian Fantasy just has to be in your life plans ...and soon. If you are ready for a new partner in your life you must join the next trip!
