New Yorker Article

[Guest guest]

The New Yorker article was great. Thanks for

posting it. Truly inpiring. Well, its obvious that SPW

was right all along and that there is no love lost

between Guruji and those "arch yoga villians" the

Birchs". He, it seems, also thinks they're prospering too

much from his system. I fully appreciate Guruji being

protective of his system, and the people who teach it

ideally should have his blessing and certainly be

proficient enough to teach the system accurately. But, I

can't help wondering if the Birchs through the

publication of their book have brought even more students and

thus more prosperity to Guruji. Please do not mistake

this for a defense of the Birchs or a questioning of

Guruji's motives. I truly respect him and hope to get to

Mysore soon and study with him. And from reports I've

heard outside this club the Birchs do seem a bit greedy

and definately hold themselves in high regard. My

point is that I think everyone is benefiting from

everyone elses involvement in the system and that it truly

is one big circle. My regards to the the people who

were studying ashtanga long before the band wagon came

along and made it trendy and popular.
