Olga Evseeva

May 13, 1948 - August 17, 2008

The first time Kaliji went to Ukraine in 1992, she met Olga and her son, Oleg who was then 17 years old. Olga and Oleg fell in love with Kaliji and TriYoga. They became the first TriYoga teachers in Ukraine, practicing diligently on their own for years without teachers or DVDs.

With only a few belongings, Olga and Oleg moved from their small town to the big city of Kiev to bring TriYoga to a larger audience. Despite many hardships, they persevered and there is now a strong following in Kiev, including several certified TriYoga teachers.

Olga passed from this life Aug. 17. She had cancer. Her departure was on the full moon at the time of a lunar eclipse, and was painless.

She always wanted to go to Malibu and learn from Kaliji. Her ashes were brought to California to find their place in the Pacific ocean. Her son Oleg now lives in the United States and will carry on Olga's dream to serve TriYoga and spread the teachings far and wide.

From Yogini Kaliji

My greatest respect goes to Olga. She is part of my spiritual family whom I love dearly. She now will continue her seva to TriYoga as she is with Mata Jayalakshmi in the spiritual planes. Her vision was clear and pure in her support of TriYoga and in her devotion to guide Oleg in his journey to fulfill his destiny. Oleg recently moved to Malibu to be with me. This was their dream and it has come true. Both his parents left their body this year. We all surround Oleg with love and encouragement to continue their vision. Oleg shows great promise in teaching TriYoga to many. We all give our support.

In spirit Olga lives with us. She is not separate. She will always live in our hearts. I can not express in words my unending love for her and great appreciation for her selfless service in TriYoga. She was one-pointed in her vision and always gave every breath to insure TriYoga would flow through Ukraine, and so that Oleg could share his natural TriYoga talents on planet Earth.

In Oleg I will always feel Olga as she loves her son with all her heart. She gave her life for him and TriYoga. She lives with us in her subtle body and will continue to serve this Devi Mission.

Olga is an inspiration to many and will go down in history as the "mother" of TriYoga in Ukraine.

TRIBUTES TO OLGA

There are some people whose presence can be experienced even though you have never met them in a physical body. Olga was such a person. All the way from Kiev I could feel the deep love Olga had for Kaliji, TriYoga and the Ukrainian students. To have had a small connection with Olga and the Ukrainian family of TriYoga students was a great privilege. While I regret never having met Olga, I will always be grateful to be a part of the large family of people who have been blessed by Olga's life.

Olga's dedication has always been amazing. Since the very first time she met Kaliji back in early 90s, she devoted her life to TriYoga. For her it was the ONLY yoga! She kept practicing with no TriYoga teachers around. On top of that, she supported her son with all her heart and effort to stay on the path of TriYoga. Even 10 years with no chance to see Kaliji did not diminish her love and devotion. I met them in 2004 in Moscow. Since that time Kaliji has come to Russia or Ukraine every year, and Olga and Oleg would always come, despite the great travel distance from Ukraine. She was so eager to learn the English language to finally be able to speak to Kaliji and come to Malibu to study with her. No doubt she could always speak to Kaliji with her heart.
