The origin story of BogaTatva

In this process of push and pull I was compressed and I was trying to pull too many things and i went into a deep resting stage, depression state. A deep state where I wasn’t able to connect with things around me. It all started with one thought with collective experience. When you stop for a moment and try to fix your attention on what is pushing you and what you want to pull towards yourself, that was the birthplace of Tatva in a bhogi’s mind, in my mind.

In the year 2017, something shifted inside me. I was at the midpoint of my human journey—a stage where life had offered both its gifts and its trials. But this time, it wasn’t an external situation that challenged me. It was something deeper, quieter… and far more persistent.

I began to feel a strange drift within—a swing of emotions that seemed to take over without warning. Even the smallest feelings became loud, intense, and unrelenting. My behavior started to change in ways that were noticeable to my family and friends, but most of all, to myself.

I was no longer acting from a place I recognized. It felt strange. And yet, there I was—both participant and witness. I could see my thoughts, hear my emotions, almost as if they were speaking to me directly. They weren’t just whispering; they were demanding my attention.

It was like being a student again—with emotions acting as strict teachers, growing more forceful because I had ignored them for too long. They had no choice but to dominate me, because I had refused to listen. And so, I had no choice either—but to surrender. I surrendered not out of weakness, but out of deep honesty. I accepted the discomfort, the confusion, the vulnerability. And in that surrender, something began to change.

Slowly, my senses started coming back to life—sharper, clearer. It was as if my whole system—mind, body, and energy—was rebooting. I stopped merely seeing things. I began watching. Then I started observing. And in that subtle shift, my inner storm started to calm. My thoughts slowed. My emotions softened.

A quiet sense of joy began to rise within me—not the joy of excitement, but the joy of presence. I started engaging with life more fully, more openly. I was no longer reacting—I was participating. And from this entire journey—through chaos, awareness, surrender, and awakening—emerged a deeper understanding.

I called it BOGA.

BOGA is not just a word. It is the essence of living life fully—of experiencing each moment with awareness, of completing the cycle of each emotion and thought before moving forward. And from that experience was born the teaching. The expression of the core. The realization of the Tatva—the truth that lies beneath everything we feel, see, and become.

This is how BogaTatva was born. Not from study alone, but from lived truth. And it continues to guide me—and hopefully now, you—in finding clarity within chaos, presence within motion, and peace within experience. All you need to do is begin.

About the Guru

Where were you born?

I (Hari Krishna Rakoph) was born in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh—a quiet beginning, where the seed of life was planted.

In Bellary, Karnataka, that seed began to grow. Life exposed me to its many shades—joy, struggle, love, and loss—each emotion shaping me, each moment watering the roots.

Now in Hong Kong, far from where I began, the fruit of that journey has ripened. In stillness, I found clarity. In reflection, I found the truth.

From seed to fruit, every phase has led me to BogaTatva—not a philosophy, but a lived experience. And now, it’s time to share the fruit.

Initial ideas of spirituality?

In the beginning, I was simply walking the paths others had walked—following footsteps without knowing where they led, eyes closed, trusting tradition but not truly understanding it. I thought spirituality was about choosing the “right” path. But with time, I realized something deeper: every path, if walked unconsciously, brings you back to the same place—a cycle of emotional turmoil and inner restlessness. It was only when I stopped following and started creating—my own way, my own rhythm—that things began to shift. Now, the path and the destination both arise from within me.
That’s when I understood: true spirituality isn’t about the road you walk, but how awake you are while walking it.

Occupation?

Offering guidance to fellow travelers as they walk their own unique journeys—not by leading, but by walking beside them with presence and understanding.

Journey into spirituality?

Spirituality and I found each other—like fellow travellers crossing paths on a journey, not by plan, but by presence.
I chose to stay. Not because it was easy, but because it felt true.
It was intense, even uncomfortable—like diving into parts of myself I’d long ignored. But within that depth was a quiet pull… a love for the self I was finally beginning to meet.
That was the beginning of the time—not an escape, but a return to what was always within me.

Reason behind starting Boga Tatva?

Supporting those who feel lost in the woods of life—not by leading them forward, but by helping them pause, reflect, and create their own way. Because true clarity began for me only when I stopped following and started walking to the rhythm of my own path—where both the journey and the destination arose from within.

Voices of Transformation
Real Journeys, Real Growth

I have new experience to listen to the sound surrounding, listen to my own body and understand the input-process-output balance in class. Look forward to having more experience through your classes or activities. Krish is such an excellent teacher and mentor. Walk us through this experience in a calm and comfortable way. After the class, I feel refreshed and relaxed. And I improved my self awareness.

I have followed my Boga teacher for over a year, and I feel that I have benefited greatly. My physical flexibility and understanding of yoga have improved significantly, especially the inner peace and joy that my practice brings me. What attracts me most is his teaching philosophy. Previously, my classes were purely about learning the poses, but he guides me to gradually understand the energy behind them. Through my daily practice, I have gained a deeper understanding of yoga, learning how to find inner peace. He is not only my yoga instructor but also a mentor for the soul.

Hello! I'm Samreen from Hashmi school, and I recently attended a camp where we learned about the 5 senses. The instructors Hari was fantastic, and the hands-on activities really helped us understand how our senses work together. I particularly enjoyed the [specific activity, e.g., taste test or sound hunt].

I learned how our brains process sensory information and how our senses can be tricked.
The camp was well-organized, and the staff were friendly and supportive. The blindfolded smell and sound activity was really cool! We had to navigate to the source of a single smell and sound, which was a great challenge. It made me realize how much we rely on our senses to navigate the world.
The taste test was also a lot of fun. We had to guess whether different flavored waters were sweet, sour, or spicy. Some of the flavors were tricky to identify, but it was a great experience.
