Aba Aziz Makaja Biography Makaja, civil name Franjo Milicevic, was born on the 15th of August, 1953 in Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina. As his family was prominent both socially and spiritually, the young Makaja was actually expected to become a lawyer and to work to establish the freedom and rights of his people, just as his ancestors had for centuries. Accordingly, he studied law in Zagreb, his second “home town.” However, it was his family’s other, spiritual influence that had most effect on his life. Supplementing his Christian background, Makaja devoted himself to the study of Near Eastern spiritual systems like Yoga, Tantra and Vedanta, carrying out the practical exercises of these systems ascetically for years. The results were fundamental changes in consciousness. Makaja began to teach and people began to follow him. His teaching, which he developed from following Tantric Kundalini Yoga, the Christian spirit and his own spiritual experiences, became ever more distinctly crystallized. He called it KOMAJA. At the core and centre of Komaja is the development of love: “Bringing about this devotion, this disintegration of the self through love – that is actually the greatest and only spiritual endeavour. There is no other.” Although Makaja says this is the “only endeavour”, he nonetheless offers his disciples – according to individual temperament, preference and aptitude – a multitude of theoretical and practical methods to reach this goal. One of the most fascinating methods for many people is sex. According to Makaja, “Instead of using it, you abuse it. It is godly!” For over two decades Makaja has led Tantra groups. Along with guidance in the art of erotic love, he teaches an involved system which uses sexual energy for spiritual development. His teaching is varied, original and open to experimentation – just as he is himself. Prominent at the beginning of his spiritual path in numerous national and international spiritual communities, since Makaja has been on his own, many international organizations have been established in his name, both to expand his teaching and for the help and “caritas” of those in need. During the war in former-Yugoslavia, for example, Makaja founded two humanitarian organizations. He accompanied deliveries of relief assistance, the sum of 1.3 million Euro, into the war zones under grenade showers during times of intense combat – untypical of a spiritual master, characteristic of Makaja. “I only believe in the love that expresses itself through deeds of love” is his much quoted remark. The other influence of Makaja’s cultural and socio-political heritage, can also be seen: in his lobbying for the introduction of love-erotic education into primary and secondary schools, the introduction of teaching regarding Kundalini into medical school programs, and in his successful methods for overcoming drug addiction (privately and state financed), for example. Yet, the following is and remains Makaja’s sole orientation: “As God within me gives me everything I have; and because I see that this God also gives all people around me everything they have; and since I perceive when I meet powerful, spiritual beings that they are divine and so tremendously powerful exactly because they are united with this same God, I, therefore, devote myself to Him completely . He is God without name and form, and at the same time, it seems to me as if all forms are forms of Him, and that all names only label his forms. Thus, my only thought, my only desire is to be devoted to Him, to be one with Him.”

Aba Aziz Makaja Biografija Postići tu predanost, tu dezintegraciju samoga sebe kroz ljubav – to je zapravo najveći i jedini duhovni trud. Nema drugog. Makaja, svjetovnim imenom Franjo Milićević, rodio se 15. kolovoza 1953. u Mostaru (Bosna i Hercegovina). Izdanak društveno i duhovno istaknute hrvatske porodice iz Hercegovine trebao je postati pravnikom i zauzeti se za slobodu i prava svoga naroda – kao što su njegovi preci stoljećima činili. Tako on i apsolvira studij prava u Zagrebu, njegovom drugom domovinskom gradu. Međutim, duhovni gen obitelji ipak prevladava u njegovom životu: Makaja se posvećuje studiju duhovnih sustava Dalekog istoka – joge, tantre i vedante, koji oživljuju i proširuju njegovu kršćansku baštinu te čijim se praktičnim vježbama godinama disciplinirano i asketski služi. Posljedica toga bile su temeljite promjene i proširenja svijesti. Makaja počinje poučavati, ljudi ga počinju slijediti. Sve jasnije se kristalizira njegovo učenje, koje razvija oslanjajući se na tantričku kundalini-jogu, kršćansko duhovno nasljeđe i vlastita duhovna iskustva. Naziva ga – KOMAJA. Ključna i uporišna točka je razvoj ljubavi: „Postići tu predanost, tu dezintegraciju samoga sebe kroz ljubav – to je zapravo najveći i jedini duhovni trud. Nema drugog.” Pa iako je to, kako Makaja kaže, „jedini trud”, on nudi svojim učenicima i učenicama – već prema njihovoj prirodi, sklonostima i talentu – mnoštvo teoretskih i praktičnih polazišta i sredstava za dostizanje tog cilja. Jedno od onih koje ljude najviše fascinira je seksualnost. Makaja: „Umjesto da seks upo- trebljavate, vi ga zloupotrebljavate. On je božanski!” Više od dva desetljeća Makaja vodi tantričke grupe te nudi, pored poduke u ljubavno-erotskom umijeću, razrađeni sustav za korištenje seksualne energije u svrhu duhovnog razvoja. Njegovo učenje je mnogostrano, originalno i sklono eksperimentiranju – kao i on sam. Kao što je Franjo na početku svog duhovnog puta u više nacionalnih i internacionalnih duhovnih organizacija bio djelatan kao jedna od vodećih osoba, tako tokom njegova samostalnog djelovanja nastaju mnoge međunarodne organizacije za širenje njegovog učenja, ali i za pomoć i „caritas” napaćenima: za vrijeme rata u zemljama bivše Jugoslavije, Franjo osniva dvije humanitarne organizacije. Osobno prati pošiljke u vrijednosti od 1,3 milijuna € u ratna područja i to kroz kišu granata, u vrijeme najžešćih ratnih sukoba – netipično za duhovnog učitelja, karakteristično za Makaju. „Vjerujem samo u ljubav koja se očituje kroz čine ljubavi” – njegove su često citirane riječi. Makajino kulturno i socijalno-političko naslijeđe provlači se i dalje kroz njegov život: kroz zauzimanje za uvođenje ljubavno-erotskog odgoja u nastavne planove osnovnih i sred- njih škola, kroz njegove uspješne (državno i privatno financijski podržane) metode za nadvladavanje ovisnosti o drogama, kroz zauzimanje za uvođenje učenja o kundalini u studij medicine itd. Ipak, Makajino jedino usmjerenje jest i ostaje: „Budući da mi Bog u meni daje sve što imam i budući da vidim kako taj Bog i ljudima oko mene daje sve što imaju i budući da, kada srećem moćna duhovna bića, opažam da su ona božanska i tako silno moćna upravo po jedinstvu s istim Bogom, ja mu se predajem bez ostatka. On je Bog bez imena i oblika i istodobno mi se čini da su svi oblici Njegovi oblici i da sva imena označavaju samo Njegove oblike. Zbog toga je moja jedina misao, moja jedina želja – biti Njemu predan, biti jedno s Njime.”
