| Summary: | A student of MISA herself, the author describes her personal journey and how she decided to investigate whether the accusations against her yoga school were true and where they came from. In the process, she met several scholars, including Liselotte Frisk, and also came across judges and prosecutors, whose perspective was obviously different. The article, the author’s contribution to a panel on Liselotte Frisk’s research on MISA at the Göteborg 2024 conference of the European Association for the Study of Religions (EASR), where the papers of Introvigne and Šorytė published in this issue of The Journal of CESNUR were also read, discusses the differences between the respective approaches by academics and by certain prosecutors and judges by examining a previously unpublished 2023 decision on MISA by the Court of Florence, Italy. |
