About Nogah

Already as a young child I felt different from those around me. I did my best to belong by imitating the behavior of others. Yet I still felt different. At age 12 I left Israel to live with my father in America and felt even more like a stranger in a strange land. Again I tried to do what others were doing in order to be accepted, but the feeling that I am a stranger stayed with me.

 

Eventually, after several different vocations, I became a professional dancer which lasted 10 years. Then I found myself paralyzed confined to my bed for several months. In order to speed my healing I became vegetarian and began studying many books on the subjects of body, mind and spirit. I entered the Gurdjieff spiritual school in New York and from that point on until I traveled to India, I studied with many great teachers and continued my reading, among them I read the book "Autobiography of a Yogi".

 

After I read the chapter about Babaji, I started to visit His Ashram in my dreams. In April 1979, when I arrived in India and met Babaji in person, I recognized the place that I visited in my dreams.

I returned to Israel immediately after being with Babaji in order to share what I had learned from Babaji. I continued teaching in Israel until I returned to America to settle in Virginia and opened a healing center there for 20 years. Eventually I moved to central Portugal and these days I am working on building a new healing center.
