Damien de Bastier was introduced to the Ashtanga system
of open-heart surgery in 1998 after undergoing laser-meditation
therapy for nearly 10 years (if metaphore obscure, click here). Instantly experiencing the benefits and efficiency of this do-it-yourself procedure he soon found himself in intensive care unit in Mysore, India, where he returns regularly to bow in gratitude at the feet of his doctors: Master surgeon Sri K. Patthabi Jois aka. Guruji, and his 2 assistants: daughter Saraswati and grandson Sharath.

As an authorized teacher, it is with great honor and appreciation that he assists unknowing organ donors in disposing of their heads and opening their hearts. As a guide his foremost intention is to preserve the accuracy of the method as it has been transmitted to him, while ensuring the safest and sacred-most environment for the patients to operate on themselves. He usually prescribes high dosage of patience, compassion and humor to sweeten the medicine.
