AB MISA,  the  Movement  for  Spiritual  Integration  into  the  Absolute  (MISA),  founded  by Romanian  yoga  teacher  Gregorian  Bivolaru,  is  often  denounced  in  the  media  as  a  deviant  movement because  of  its  view  of  sexuality  rooted  in  Westernized  Tantric  teachings.  This  issue  of The  Journal  of CESNURexplores the history, doctrines, and controversies of MISA, arguing that its teachings cannot be  reduced  to  a  doctrine  of  sexuality  only  and  propose  a  “radical  aesthetics”  thatalso  explains  the reactions by both its religious and secular opponents.
