Don't do what you are reading in books. What will

work for Pattabhi may be not for you. If you want to

drink coffee with milk and sugar do it. Practis yoga -

and trust your body!<br>(-Nice to see here: Pattabhi

is not a GOD, he is a human being! drinking such

poison...)Lu

I agree Lu. All our gurus are very much human

beings.<br><br>They make mistakes.<br><br>Some of their more ardent

followers make excuses for their mistakes: For example,

those who are hurt during intense adjustments must not

have "trusted the guru" sufficiently.<br><br>What

really happened is that the guru screwed up and pushed

too far. <br><br>Sometimes myth gets mixed with

Wisdom, and you find instructions in certain books that

directing the yogi to do a headstand for 3 hours. Really

not a good idea; if it was a good idea, surely you'd

see people practicing such things! Yet, the author of

one such book belittles those who don't practice the

3 hour topsyturvy.<br><br>Strange tales about lost

books depicting ancient yoga series...when a more

plausible appraisal suggests that vinyasa yoga is a

creative project that even includes elements borrowed from

Western gymnastics.<br><br>In other words, I try to

remember that Astanga Yoga is a mixed bag. Its many

benefits can't be denied; yet blind trust isn't the goal;

self-awareness is.<br><br>Which means that path of "not this,

not this."<br><br>And what Guruji does with the

quarter mil gross from his summer teaching tour (do the

math) is purely his own business. It's good to know

he's different from yoga's profiteers.
