Guest guest Posted January 25, 2000 Report Share Posted January 25, 2000 everybody waits. when you arrive the guru assigns you a time-usually the latest shift at that time---around 8:00---10:00m depending on how busy things are. As students leave, you come at progressively earlier times. Most long-time students practice at 4:30 or 5:30. Returning students can usually get into an earlier shift when people leave the earlier shifts. Most of the yoga tourists only stay a month and end up practicing at the later times and waiting for an hour or so. somtimes people cheat and come earlier than they should. this has been know to cause fights to break out--not very yogic. <br><br>Anyway, you have nothing else to do in Mysore besides grab a Papaya or eat breakfast at Nagaratna's. Learing to slow down and being able to wait and developing patience are all important lessons which it seems you need to learn based on your asking the question. another lesson: see the world as a place of abundance, not scarcity and you shall receive everything you desire. See it as a place of scarcity and you will always be wanting. The guru, in his ultimate generosity, always makes space for new students.<br><br>Also don't bitch about the 500 bucks Guruji charges for your fist month. It is a great privilege to practice with the greatest teacher in the world and the sum is a mere pittance in the grand scheme. He is trying to live well, provide for his family and build a few temples in his hometown.<br><br>To answer your question in brief, yes, yes.
