Early Life
Gregorian Bivolaru, born in Tărtăşeşti, Ilfov County, (now in Dâmboviţa County), Romania, completed high school in Bucharest and joined the Antrepriza de Metrou Bucuresti as a plumber in 1971. He began practicing yoga at the age of 17.
In 1977, he was charged for the distribution of pornographic materials and sentenced to one year in prison, but he did not complete it due to an amnesty granted by then General Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party, Nicolae Ceauşescu. On 17 April 1984, he was arrested and sentenced to two years in jail for the conspiracy against Nicolae Ceauşescu.

Famous quotes containing the words early life, early and/or life:
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“A two-year-old can be taught to curb his aggressions completely if the parents employ strong enough methods, but the achievement of such control at an early age may be bought at a price which few parents today would be willing to pay. The slow education for control demands much more parental time and patience at the beginning, but the child who learns control in this way will be the child who acquires healthy self-discipline later.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“Whoever influences the child’s life ought to try to give him a positive view of himself and of his world. The child’s future happiness and his ability to cope with life and relate to others will depend on it.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
