It was good timing. Then, two or three weeks later, I was in Paris, on the runway with Jean Paul Gaultier and all the great people. I liked it, it was fun. I was in the fashion business for 12 years, from to , I had a good time, worked with the greatest, and then suddenly something changed. I met him, he was incredible, he had just gotten out of jail after 27 years. I did different things for about two or three years.
VA: Before that you had a mentor. YC: Yes, in Paris I had a mentor, for 15, 16 years. He was a guy who used to be in the fashion business; he left the fashion business in the sixties and he decided to go on the path of health and well-being. When I was 19, he was 46, something like that. He started to teach me natural medicine, spirituality. So, I was working in fashion and I was getting an education in natural medicine and spirituality.
Obviously, something from the past is there, so when I came out of the fashion business, my head was already in the spiritual world. When I went to India, it was a very natural place for me to be. During my fashion days, I never went to India; for some reason, I never wanted to.
So, I started to study. When I went to study in India, after three or four years I was thinking the same thing. What are people going to think when I come back? Of course, in the beginning people may think this way, but over time they change.
I find the people in fashion in fact more open-minded compared to people in the Yoga world, not those who practice Yoga but maybe the teachers and the whole community. VA: In our Western cultures, our education is mostly based on creating good bankers, good workers and good citizens.
How do you think the educational system should be improved to help people be more in touch with themselves and what surrounds them? In Eastern philosophy, you grow everything from the base. You start to build on this foundation within, then you build all the other foundations, your work, your family, everything else.
So, if you lose your family, if you lose your work, if you lose everything, you still have this foundation. This is the problem that we have now. Everybody wants to be the one giving the knowledge, but they only want to study for two weeks, three weeks.
These kids can now go into the world and they know how to take care of themselves because they know who they are. If you have the foundations of spirituality and health, you will know what to teach that child so he can become great. And then you realize that there are so many paths, the kid can pick any, he can go into politics, religion, health, he can do anything; but it has to be balanced.
